Former head writer for WWE, WCW & TNA Wrestling Vince Russo has recently reached out to Vince McMahon about a return to WWE to contribute to the creative process.
Russo has been adamant about the direction of WWE television for years; regularly predicting the decline of ratings for Monday Night Raw on his daily podcast episodes. Quite frankly, he’s not a fan of the current product.
This is what Vince Russo had to say about his conversation with McMahon:
“I’ve reached out to Vince McMahon in the past week. He got back to me. I am still a wrestling fan at heart, going back to when I was 10, 11 years old. I hate today’s product. To me, it’s not professional wrestling. I don’t want to be the guy critiquing the problem without saying ‘Here’s my olive branch, I think I can help you as the numbers go down every week.’
I didn’t use the word help. You don’t tell Vince McMahon he needs help. I said ‘if you want me to contribute, I’d love to once again contribute.”
