00:01:42 – 00:03:55 | Russo’s Drastic Reaction: Is WWE Unwatchable?

Vince Russo shares a candid, almost shocking confession: WrestleMania weekend was so distressing he crunched numbers that morning to see if he could retire—and stop covering WWE—nine months earlier than planned. He laments feeling exhausted, beaten down, and fed up as a lifelong fan and former insider.

00:03:56 – 00:05:45 | Main Event Disaster: Creative Misfires and Missing Superstars

00:08:51 – 00:13:29 | Triple H’s Ego, Hall of Fame Hijinks, and WWE Political Games
