Wrestling: Retold and Relived with Richie Mars

Why Vince Russo's WWE Return Lasted One Day


Listen Later

We're back & going a bit behind the scenes for this one! Vince Russo was a head in WWE's creative force for their most popular time on television. He later left to their competition when WWE was at the peak at their popularity. WWE then went through a transitional period creatively when they were the only game in town; The Rock leaving for Hollywood, Steve Austin walking out of the company, and ratings falling. Vince McMahon made the decision to hire back the same man that left WWE all those years ago, much to the shock of those in the company.
We detail the contents of the first (and only) creative meeting Vince Russo had with the WWE Creative Team, who he wanted to make champion, what was the big feud he wanted to start (Spoiler: It didn't involve any wrestlers), who he wanted to hire back, and more! We also examine the pros & cons to Vince Russo's creative mind.
It's a wild episode so sit back, relax and enjoy as we pick a part one of the most creative minds (for better or worse) in wrestling history!
