Former WWE head author Vince Russo is genuinely not a fan of the present product led by Triple H. Being an old-school Vince McMahon guy, Russo has always expressed his dissatisfaction with how Hunter handles business.<\/p>\n

In a recent Twitter <\/span>post<\/span><\/a>, Russo reflected on what McMahon taught him concerning the wrestling business from day one. The previous WWE author said,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI’ll ALWAYS at the start take a look at Skilled Wrestling\/Sports Entertainment as just one thing . . . a BUSINESS . . . because that\u2019s what it\u2019s about. @VinceMcMahon taught me that from DAY ONE. My job was to GET AS MANY PEOPLE TO WATCH AS POSSIBLE. The more EYE BALLS the more Merch Sales, PPV Buys (now Subscriptions), House Show Ticket Sales, etc.. All the things fed off of HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE WATCHING THE SHOW every Monday Night (and later Thursday with SmackDown).\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the course of the \u2018Attitude Era\u2019 it was never about \u2018Favorites\u2019, or Who was \u2018Popular within the Dressing Room\u2019, or who \u2018Deserved it\u2019 because they put so a few years within the business, or who the Dirt Sheet Writers were clamoring for, it was all the time about ONE THING . . . WHO DREW. And the RATINGS told you that each second of each show. And, that\u2019s the identical way it needs to be today. Nothing has Modified. That\u2019s . . . how BUSINESS WORKS.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Russo Slams Sami Zayn\u2019s WWE Championship Win<\/h3>\n

Sami Zayn beat Cody Rhodes and GUNTHER to secure the Undisputed WWE Title at Night of Champions 2026. Nonetheless, Zayn\u2019s championship win didn’t sit well with Vince Russo. Speaking on \u201cThe Coach & Bro\u201d show, Russo said,<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t keep a straight face. If I read yet another tweet online, especially from any person within the business, \u2018Oh, 13 years within the business, no person deserved it.\u2019 Bro, after I come on this show and inform you the marks are within the ring, look how the wrestlers react. Have a look at what they are saying. They are saying, \u2018Oh, the guy\u2019s been within the industry for 13 years, he deserves it.\u2019 Bullsh**, bro. Sami Zayn didn\u2019t win anything. You recognize what number of guys have been within the business 13 years, 17 years, 20 years, 25 years? Mr. Perfect and Scott Hall died without ever winning a WWE World Title.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I swear to God, bro, when wrestlers sound like marks, it\u2019s freaking embarrassing to me. Sami earned what? What did he earn? He worked harder than all the opposite wrestlers you see on the market working? Really? This to me is an absolute joke.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cYour World Champion is alleged to be the hood ornament of your organization. And Cody was great at that. You guys know I\u2019m not a giant Cody fan, but because the hood ornament of the WWE, the way in which he dressed, the way in which he carried himself, absolutely no problem. What got Sami over? Comedy, bro. That\u2019s what got him over. When he was within the Bloodline, they put him in a comedic spot, and he got over. Bro, this will not be a comedic spot. That is WWE World Champion. This will not be a comedy spot.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
