There's a couple times here where its just one iconic moment after the other, week after week on WWF. I'd also like to point out that Russo never once claimed he "invented" Stone Cold or Rock like everyone accuses him of. He seems to constantly give the wrestler all the credit
The majority of fans who are Russo haters are people who literally believe Russo is the character he played on TV. Think of how insane it is for fans even to this day to cling to *hatred* of a guy who wrote a TV show 2 DECADES ago. They will do anything to attempt to discredit and malign this guy, and swear that *YOU* are wrong for being a normal human being who doesn't hate strangers over a wrestling show.

@@Duhboy67 yeah...when your an addict....and especially at the height of it....when you're sober everything is so completely boring and depressing....
Russo saying that HBK was a company man and did anything Vince wanted, and being pushed aside in favor of Austin caused his bad attitude is one of the underrated Russo whoppers in history.
@@yjhova they had to completely change the Wrestlemania 13 card because he lost his smile. Austin, Bret, Cornette, Bruce Prichard all said this. And that was before Austin was a main eventer. That enough?
Proof bro is a work. He rarely says is when he talks to an attractive woman either. But bro he's lit ER ally responsible for everything good that happened in wres A ling, stone cold, DX , the Hardy's, writing entire shows, the entire attitude era bro
@@jameswesten2018 he's never claimed to have "invented" anything or created any characters, I can't find a single example of him taking credit for something someone else did
My favorite New Jack story is the one where he says he put Kevin Nash in a headlock at a convention because he kept him out of WWF or something like that. And Kevin Nash was like huh?
i think this is really the most important part of this interview 1:49:46 russo admits that he got all his ideas from the howard stern show, russo pretty much stole jackie martlings personality and made a career off it like stern did and used it to help create the attitude era epic lols, thats actually crazy to think about
@@BannedSports yup he loved jerry springer too which is why when he took over there were worked shoot fights backstage all the time, i remember one wrestler even talked about how all the constant worked shoots at the catering table were getting really tiresome lol
New Jack never worked “strong style” . He did hardcore gimmick matches and was only “tough” when he had weapons at his disposal. If he went to Japan and had to fight with his bare hands, he would’ve been destroyed!
He would have either gotten his azz whopped in the ring or later in the locker room if he tried something. The J would have taken care of him and hurt him badly. New Jack was only tough in Bingo halls with knifes and surrounded by drunk marks
Because he didn't paid until after the shoot. Same thing with Russo. There was an agreement between Sean and Vince that he wouldn't say "bro" every other word and if you noticed, Russo maybe said "bro" a total of three times the entire shoot.
@@warshipsatin8764 seems more of a sober.....depressing/uninterested vibe from me.....but who knows.....whenever I took oxys I was the life of the party but everyone is different
Russo wrote THE BEST wrestling tv shows EVER. Thats a fact. All you marks with Russo Derangement Syndrome either werent there to see it or you're in denial. Nobody gives a fxck about "dream matches." The regular fan wants stories and Vinny Ru and Eddie Bear Ferrara did it better than anyone in history.
Can't tell if you're serious or not but you've got some good points... but he needed McMahon to filter his ideas. His initial run in WCW was pretty good and the New Blood angle was underrated as well. Definitely better than what they were doing pre-russo for sure
😂😂😂 Do you remember Jackie Gleason's infamous bomb, "You're In The Picture"? Just because a lot of people watch it and were aware of it does not mean that it was successful. Do you think that the Star Wars Christmas Special was a success because a lot of people watched it and it gave everyone Boba Fet? 😂😂😂
Imagine being so entitled and lazy that you are whining about doing a few paragraphs at most of reading every ten minutes to understand a video properly. 😂
I've been watching wrestling since 1965. Literally every week of 1998 mentioned is one of those memorable moments you just don't forget. Russo and Cornette are actually a good team. 2006-2009 TNA was also fantastic.
@@jonbourgoin182 I really like KC formats, production quality, etc but the game changed. Even WWE failed to get a monthly fee for their massive library of content
Russo comparing HBK to Seth Rollins destroys his credibility, if he even had any. What a shocker. It's really hard to take Vince's version of events seriously... For multiple reasons, but anyone who needs to preface a lot of things with "to be honest...". His version is almost the complete opposite of others, including Cornette.
Call me crazy but I actually believe almost all of what new Jack says. I just don’t think he really has any agenda and it’s not like his stories paint him out to be Jesus Christ or mother Theresa, he’s very candid about his own misgivings. If anything I’d question that he’s embellishing stories just based on the fact that we know and he’s admitted that he was fucked on cocaine most of the time. I dabbled in blow back in my younger years and I can’t remember shit from during most of my binges. Like a solid 3to 4 year span where my memory is spotty at best.
He really doesn't. Most notable, is he has claimed for years that Goldberg hurt him on purpose when he speared him through the cage. He claimed he told Goldberg he had a concussion and make sure to avoid the barricade because of his head. But he conveniently left out the fact that someone put up a huge pad on the barricade right before the cage match. You could see the finish coming from a mile away. This is the one where he became champion because he was technically the first one to "escape". Of course, this was also the first WCW cage match in history to have the winner be the one to escape the cage. He also takes credit for being the one to give Vince the idea to double cross Bret.
The Attitude Era and the lineup of guys you had in the locker room you couldn't have had a better group of guys in the Attitude Era then what they had.. But for me as im sure for others as well, the BIGGEST part of the Attitude Era for me was the Mcmahon Austin angle.. And The Rock!
Yeah that's kinda what I thought when he talks about ratings and saying there's no such thing as a push??. I know he knows what a push is cause he gave his boy Jarrett a push with the WCW title in 2000 for a few months 🤦♂️
The two greatest works of all time - 1) The Montreal Screwjob and 2) Russo and Cornette tricking everyone into thinking they hate eachother lol! Marks are the fools who think they know everything while not knowing that they're the primary target of all the workers in the room.
You're fucking nuts if you think Cornette doesn't legitimately hate Russo. Russo doesn't even care he doesn't stoke the flames and mostly wants to be left alone. Jim also clearly dislikes meltzer for being a shill for shitty AEW wrestling. Russo put a real restraining order on cornette due to threats made privately. Not kayfabe

He has a better wrestling mind when his ADD is under under control. Jim was a great mind too and historian but he's stuck in the past yelling at clouds. Still, he's correct most of the time

That quote aged well

Yes it did. I see nothing wrong with that.
Russo calling Bart Gunn “Bart Simpson” 💀
3:28:24 - Jack and Sean goofing and laughing on the Rock and Roll Express is great ! LOL
It s nice to hear Russo not saying "Bro" like a moron every 5th word as he does in so many podcasts. This is a very good interview.
44:41 New Jack: I knew Taz Before Taz turned Orange 😭😭
