What? Have you been drinking?

I dont like Russo getting shit on like this.

I think this is all a work that'll lead to a mega round table live show to shill their podcasts during SummerSlam or WrestleMania weekend. Bischoff, Cornette, Russo, and Pritchard doing a live show together means they could charge stupid ticket fees in a smark town like NYC and probably make a bunch of money on streaming it. They'd sell out Hammerstein Ballroom probably. Russo makes my ears bleed though. Cornette is fucking hilarious and working the hell out of his gimmick.

Cyrus and Prichard are also total worker carnies on their podcasts.

well hell russo sent out a restraining order on cornette thought he would have done that years ago now no debate

Lol, Russo got a restraining order against someone who doesn't want to be anywhere near him, even for money.

HAH!

What a pussy. This is more of a bitch move than Norman Smiley backing out of our fight.

You essentially retired that guy eh?

Cornette ended up apologizing for the situation between him and Russo escalating into the restraining order.

Never meant this feud to be anything besides a big joke nor wanted Russo to actually feel scared. Same for feeling bad over the possibility Russo is selling his house because of this situation.

Also got a bit worried about the amount of personal info about Russo was being sent in by fans.

Cornette is a bully.

Cornette exposing the business with this phony shit, probably should be banned from the internet forever for embarrassing the podcast business. Cut his mic cords, cut his children's mic cords. If Cornette was podcasting 40 years ago they'd have smashed his monitor with a baseball bat and sent his hard drive to the FBI. Disgraceful.

Lol, he wasn't podcasting 40 years ago.

Yeah, it's not a very dignified move. Especially considering he knows there is nothing to legitimately fear from Cornette.

I get what Cornette is going for here, and I think taking a nicer tone and saying "Sorry for stressing you," and taking responsibility for certain fans who don't get shit-talking and could potentially take things too far -- given his hatred for Donald Trump and what he stirs up in people -- but I'm not a fan of the "I admitted defeat" in the sarcastic tone.

He gets more digs in as it goes along. It actually gets quite brilliant. But yeah, Russo is a cunt. Throwing shade at people and then getting scared when they call you out? But the fans having listings of his real estate and stuff is just creepy, and I can imagine Cornette legitimately feeling bad about that.

Russo has said multiple times that he thinks Cornette's hatred for him is just a gimmick.

Now he has a restraining order against him.

MAARRRRRRK!

If he's a mark wrestling fan, does that make him gay?

You can tell. He clearly doesn't respect those that have podcasted before him with all this flippy floppy bullshit. Who trained this kid? Killing the business. Fuck.

Just needed to type that I'm a Christian, I voted for President Trump and I know wrestling is a fake sport.

Russo screwed Russo

Russo is an idiot.

I'm pretty sure I got into a debate about Russo's booking with Russo himself on another forum. The poster had signed up only in the wake of this Cornette stuff, and was obsessed with all the stuff said about Russo. Probably not, but I'm going to tell myself that, haha.

There are a lot of Russo myths that need to be busted. Whether to be contrarian or just because they grew up in the Attitude era, and believe the Russo-propelled idea that he had a lot to do with the WWF's ultimate success and turn-around, people tend to make absolutely rubbish defenses of him.

So many people lately have been telling me that WCW PPV tanking under Russo doesn't matter, because he was only hired to do TV. They also say stuff like Russo saved WCW's ratings in 1999 (in actuality, he didn't even increase them beyond the average established under Nash or the yearly average), and believe the Russo line about the censors holding him back (yes, because what WCW needed during Russo's stint was more swearing and more abortion angles).

What's your favorite Russo myth?

The Cornette-Russo feud took another twist recently since Cornette is going to start selling autograph copies of his restraining order as a way to raise funds for a children's charity called WHAS Crusade for Children.

I will say, the ONE decent booking thing Russo did was that he booked mid card guys to actually mean something in the attitude era. and by that I mean D'Lo Brown. That's it. That's the only good thing he ever did.

Did Cornette just twist Russo's exploitative "we'll do it for charity, bro" attempts to get Corny into a debate with him into a way to legitimately raise money for children off Russo's back? Cornette is still a master worker.

I'm glad you specified D'Lo Brown. The thing is, people often cite this quality of Russo's as a good one, but if everybody is doing something "important," then what is truly important? It took me a long while to come down off the idea that angles need to always be happening and guys always need to be doing something in order to stay relevant.

Cornette gave D'Lo his break in Smoky Mountain, so I credit Corny for D'Lo more anyway.
