Russo Quits Own Website

https://www.facebook.com/officialvincerusso/posts/386607868178447

I feel like this is an Onion article come to life.  I assume this means his meeting with Lucha Underground that he denied ever happened went well..........  

Comments

  1. I'm trying to work out the logistics of Russo quitting a website he owns and telling people not to buy merchandise from said website that he owns and thus gets a full cut of... right after he has multiple updates from yesterday,

    ReplyDelete
  2. "Go to Mexico, go to Japan go to China if you wanna see the lucha libres bro!"

    ReplyDelete
  3. Considering he's said he's gonna quit the wrestling business every year for about tbe past decade because he hates it so much I really don't think this will be the last we see of him.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Please know, that if you renew your monthly membership, you will not be
    getting any content from Vince Russo from this day going forward.......

    Does that extend to all of the internet? Because sign me the fuck up

    ReplyDelete
  5. I find it hard to believe anyone would even pay for anything Russo would have to offer.

    ReplyDelete
  6. He's a less-imposing Rhyno with a mullet

    ReplyDelete
  7. SWERVE!


    As someone once put it, if he worked for Jim Herd pre-WCW, you'd order a pizza and get a newspaper. Or a balloon.

    ReplyDelete
  8. He'll be back next week. Swerve!

  9. John Cena's instagram is the most bizarre thing I've ever seen.

    ReplyDelete
  10. We just watched Tuesday in TExas a few nights ago, it's stunning that THAT feud never got a proper cage match blowoff.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I only briefly tried out WWE '15 but can anyone tell me, does the stripped down CAW and movesets still allow you to make a passable Kevin Owens? Or would I just get frustrated?

  12. Great tv show; much better than agents of shield

  16. Totally. They didn't do anything fancy but it was all sold so perfectly. Such a good match.

    ReplyDelete
  17. There's a real hotel called Big Dick's Halfway Inn

    ReplyDelete
  18. Which is funny, because he spent so much of 1999-2000 trying to convince people that HE was the draw.

    ReplyDelete
  19. This can only mean he has another backdoor deal with TNA that'll be occupying all his time.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I've said multiple times, ROH should give the belt to AJ. Simple booking, get the belt to the most over guy they have.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Vince Russo quits, introducing his replacement......Vic Venom!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Somehow I don't think the belt's changing hands.
    After all, wasn't the original plan going to be Jay Briscoe vs. AJ Styles until it got vetoed by New Japan because AJ was booked to lose to Jay?

  23. Laundry, packing, more laundry, blasting Fucked Up at preposterous volumes, more packing, and hitting my favourite restaurant in town on last time: that's my Saturday.

  24. If any of you are into really good documentaries, then you should definitely check out a new documentary about skateboarding pioneers Tas and Ben Pappas called All This Mayhem. It's currently available on Netflix.

    So, does this officially that literally no one, including himself, can stand to be around Vince Russo?

    ReplyDelete
  27. Tar Heels better pull their heads out.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Seen that one recently. That is indeed really good. Also seen a pretty strange one about the National Enquirer called Inquiring Minds. Pretty interesting to now know that the mafia funded that mag for most of its existence.

    ReplyDelete
  29. He's trying to work out a deal with Lucha Underground? What, do they want to stop being successful? Was Vince smart enough not to put WCW and TNA on his resume?

    ReplyDelete
  30. I dunno. I hate Russo's work, but at least Russo made TNA and WCW fun, in a this-is-so-terrible kind of way. Today's wrestling in TNA and the WWE is terrible and boring.

  35. This. I knew it would come up - his comeback run was so awesome. "Holy Crap, Rick Martel can still go!" It was a fun three-way rivalry between Martel, Booker T and Saturn until Rick blew out his knee.

    ReplyDelete
  44. This place seems dead as shit.Where the hell is everybody! I just got done doing a little painting, waiting for my brother so we can finally put the finishing touches on this bathroom for good.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Yeah, not even this place can dull the red hot edge of my boredom today

    No Caliber FB posts to go through...my life is empty

  46. I'll be watching. It's going to be a pretty great show except the main event scares me.

    I like spinach, but I don't think I'd want to eat it hung over.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Its perfect for a hangover, some spinach, kale, romaine lettuce and a whole tomato diced up, a fat glass of water with some sliced of lemon in it, so much nutrition it chases a hang over away pretty fast

    ReplyDelete
  49. My Feyonce bought a big clock for our living room, and it's making me fucking mental because all the times are in Roman numerals except it goes I, II, III, IIII instead of IV...

    I've been staring at it all morning losing my fucking mind

    ReplyDelete
  50. Valentine also had a great match with JYD, crazy crowd heat, June 85 at Boston Garden... Prime Time Wrestling aired it 3 or 4 times over the year

    ReplyDelete
  51. Adam "Colorado" CurryFebruary 28, 2015 at 2:08 PM

    Yeah, I suppose that makes sense. I'm hung over I go with something grain based though, like a sandwich or some French toast, with a bottle of Gatorade. Of course, if I had the foresight to do that the night before it wouldn't be an issue.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I remember getting that one time as a gift and complained about the wrong 4 also. I took it back

    ReplyDelete
  53. Yeah it's truly amazing how one glass of water before bed can avoid ALL of this

    I was stunningly drunk last night though so I skipped it and just passed out face first, paying dearly for it now

    ReplyDelete
  54. On the plus side we can look forward to an excuse filled book:

    Playing RDR, and one thing that annoys me about this game is always getting the animation every time you skin an animal. I get that it's more realistic but it just slows the game down, wish you could turn it off.

    Also, I wish they would have just left the cattle ranching crap out. It's boring as hell and not at all fun.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Should we be using Roman numerals anymore? Even the Super Bowl is getting rid of it next year and wrestlemania is using a play button instead. Even rocky movies don't use it anymore. Now I only see it on royalty and popes.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Never mind it was Last Splash

    ReplyDelete
  65. I'm on the terlet

    ReplyDelete
  66. I like them aesthetically, I didn't know the Superbowl was getting rid of them, after about 20 they become a little cumbersome

    I never remember either, though I mainly drink beer, which is like 90% water anyway. I rarely drink more than 2-3 drinks of hard liquor in a sitting and only drink wine once every couple years.

    Roman numerals get harder to decipher after 39. What's 40? XLX?

  70. Next year instead of Super Bowl L, it's Super Bowl 50

  77. The big question is whether this clock was designed FOR idiots who can't read basic roman numerals or BY idiots who can't write basic roman numerals

    ReplyDelete
  78. We can barely deal with Roman in the WM main event, and now we gotta have him in our numerals, too?

    I'm guessing that's a one time thing, "Super Bowl L" does sound a bit goofy.

    Reading Roman numerals under Roman candles makes one appreciate where Roman Reigns Day falls on the Roman calendar.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Adam "Colorado" CurryFebruary 28, 2015 at 2:24 PM

    I always found it interesting that back in the 20s (I think) they skipped like 8 days of the calendar to account for the fact that the leap year was never factored in. So at one point there's over a week in time that literally didn't exist.

    ReplyDelete
  90. The last couple Far Crys have the same thing. Annoying as hell.

    ReplyDelete
  91. In the 1600s, they skipped two weeks

    ReplyDelete
  92. Stranger in the AlpsFebruary 28, 2015 at 2:25 PM

    When Chris Cornell says "I'm looking California, but I'm feeling Minnesota" do you think Minnesotans were offended? I mean, feeling Minnesota can't be a good thing.

    ReplyDelete
  93. I think they did that in russia

    ReplyDelete
  94. Excellent album choice, Shelton!

    I'm now jamming "London Calling."

    ReplyDelete
  95. It is. They really threw me a curve by pushing the start date up 10 days.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Adam "Colorado" CurryFebruary 28, 2015 at 2:26 PM

    At least give the option to skip it, especially when hunting is your main source of income, and for me it's the most fun part of the game. I love later on going bear hunting, you make a shitload of cash.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Adam "Colorado" CurryFebruary 28, 2015 at 2:28 PM

    Yeah, it was Russia where they did it in the 20s.

    ReplyDelete
  98. IIRC that was actually the point of the phrase. "Looking Calif" = looking good since Calif is sunny, warm, pretty, etc, and "feeling Minn" = feeling like shit, b/c Minn is cold winter, dreary, etc.

    So he looks great but feels like shit.

    ReplyDelete
  99. My copy of BMF is the limited edition 2 cd version they re-released after the album blew up, with the SOMMS EP. Always kinda proud that I picked it up back then when it was available

    Same with my copy of Body Count that has Cop Killer and my copy of Green Jello's Cereal Killer CD and tape (before they had to change to Green Jelly)

    ReplyDelete
  100. Took it down, this piece of shit is going back to the store I can't deal with it being in my home

    ReplyDelete
  101. Adam "Colorado" CurryFebruary 28, 2015 at 2:31 PM

    I always figured it was just because it kind of rhymes and there was no real deep meaning behind it.

  102. I watched that doc on the Clash and liked it weel enough, but wish they had explained some of the lineup changes better. Some stuff didn't make sense till I followed up with Wiki.

  118. I went to the raw where cm punk punched a fan and the crowd was rabid for ryback. I was surprised since I thought everyone saw through how much the guy sucked, but he got a huge reaction. I don't think it lasted very long, but he was over for a time.

  124. I would say Doug has a lot of "what the f**k is he thinking?"-moments as well.

    (that's also when thing that bothered me so much about the show: usually one of them dig something stupid/bad, they got into a fight... and in the end both apologized - despite clearly not both being responsible for the argument in the first place)

    ReplyDelete
  125. The theory was Vince trying to decide what outside market he wanted to break in to - Canada or Mexico. I don't really buy it either, but it does explain why Tito was repackaged.

  126. three out of those four are pretty terrible as well.

  128. haven't seen the Andre/Hansen match (yet) but have heard dozens of guys raving about it.

    ReplyDelete
  129. I live overseas between 93-96 so unless my uncle sent me tapes I didn't really find out what was going on until I came back or if EuroSport played the occasional RAW, which they did sometimes.



    When I saw that Mabel was headlining SS, 14 year old me just shook his head. Even then I knew it was terrible.

  130. Duggan beating Austin for the U.S. Title would have been worse. Ditto Renegade over AA.

    ReplyDelete
  131. I know it seems nitpicky to be upset about this kind of stuff, but really: what was the emailer thinking?

    (and how would he describe real "obscure" guys?)

    ReplyDelete
  132. sounds amazing and horrible at the same time.

    ReplyDelete
  133. People liked Reigns in The Shield cause he was short and to the point. Quick 2 sentence promo time and split up his in-ring time with two other guys and got his shit in when it was called for.

    Make him a singles wrestler, give him that goofy smiling babyface deal they give guys (see: Cena, Sheamus, etc.) have him cut shit promos, expose him as a below subpar performer in the ring and dont hide the fact that he is getting the rocket strapped to his ass over more deserving guys...you're gonna get what you get from the fans.

    ReplyDelete
  134. * and sits at Buffalo Wild Wings on Saturday nights with his Affliction shirt watching UFC and criticizing everything he sees

    ReplyDelete
  135. The Shield is my favorite faction ever - which is exactly why the way they handled Reigns (and, to certain extents, Ambrose and Rollins as well) saddens me that much.

    ReplyDelete
  136. Agree with most of Scott's picks here. However in the case of Jake Roberts, I'd say his SNME blow off match with Rude, and the subsequent 'Andres fear of snakes' angle was a definite high point. Actually, Roberts-Rude was the feud which made me a bona fide fan.

    ReplyDelete
  137. I don't think most of the WWF stuff would have caused that much of an "outrage". because people that were more into "workrate" watched the NWA and other promotions, didn't they?

    ReplyDelete

  141. I wasn't online in 1994, but I imagine Hulk Hogan turning WCW into a make-work program for his washed up WWE cronies generated some boiling hatred.

    ReplyDelete
  142. Things were hugely divided back then. It wasn't just the internet, cable was also an issue. I started reading stuff online regularly in late '94 or so, and it seemed most fans only either got USA or TBS. A huge chunk of the fans online then were college students who needed show recaps to keep up. When Nitro came along in '95 there were tons of fans who didn't get TNT. Most fans were just fans of one company or the other--with a tiny minority raving about some company called ECW that hardly anyone saw. Complaining about wrestling and arguing with other wrestling fans has been around forever.

    ReplyDelete
  143. Ouch As a solo fan I admit he kinda set himself up for that. There is an open thread RIGHT below this which I never read because I dont care about cheers or the simpsons or 90 percent of anything else that they talk about. Why post it here? Unless it was by mistake.

  146. Nice of Russo to give himself a big angle like that and not give it to one of the TNA wrestlers so they could get over with it.

    ReplyDelete
  147. I quite liked seeing Russo play TEW even though his Russo type booking was pretty annoying.

    ReplyDelete
  148. The first time I went online was around 95 and from memory, I can't remember any wrestling site/newsletter that came before 1990 with the exception of Observer.

    No, no. It was Jericho who mentioned Vince's fascination with his thighs. To my knowledge, I coined the term "meaty thigh". I guess I could be wrong. :)

    ReplyDelete
  154. He is totally that boy who cried wolf in that stupid, stupid book.

    ReplyDelete
  155. OMG ... Duggan over Austin I can't even imagine.

    ReplyDelete
  156. At least w/ Savage, he won all his matches. The Tag div was a vastly different animal back then as well, and The Hart Foundation was an over act that were on top or near the top until Bret became a singles wrestler for good. They'd never send out Bret, as one half of the tag champs, to be a glorified jobber in a single match, Back then, the midcard wasn't the job-fest it is now. That's the worry w/ Daniel Bryan, It's one thing if he's not champion, but I hope we don't see him trading wins w/ Adam Rose and losing matches in under 2 minutes w/ the announcers not even acting like it's a big deal to beat him.

    ReplyDelete
  157. Everyone on that show was a sociopathic monster- it's what made the show great. Debra was a giant cuntbitch, Marie was a manipulative, arrogant, narcissistic shrew, Ray was an idiotic, lazy manchild who insulted everyone, Robert was a jealous, neurotic doofus, and Frank was a bigoted asshole. Loved it.

    ReplyDelete
  158. It's like the family version of Seinfeld.

    ReplyDelete
  159. Pretty sure the entire "Sgt Slaughter, World Champion and Iraqi sympathizer" thing would have gotten some bad buzz....

    ReplyDelete
  160. Nah your probably right. Now all you have to do is wait for John Cena to say it in a promo. Then you and scott can form a club!

    ReplyDelete
  161. People were paying for this?

  162. Savage goes for a pin like an idiot and gets tossed out? WWF is trolling their audience! Savage is done, and will never be anything more than a mid-card afterthought.

  168. See the problem is Vince is too much of a pussy to book Reigns properly - he needs to squash lesnar with one Supearman punch, 1,2,3. Then he needs to do the same to Rollins who will cash in. 1,2,3. Then he needs to squash Bryan on Raw the same way, 1,2,3. Do a slow build to a feud with Cena for Summerslam. In the interim have him squash Ziggler, Cesaro, Wyatt, Ambrose, etc. make him unstoppable in the eyes of the marks

  169. Why on Earth are you preaching on a small mostly pro wrestling blog? I mean, surely there are places where a larger contingent of people can be hopelessly preached to?

    How is it via "his grace" that you AREN'T in heaven? Wouldn't you HOPE to be in heaven?

  170. Big Boss man vs Barbarian RR 91.I go **** on that. Both men kicked out of each other's finish, match ends with a body press. Honorable mention- one of his matches with Duggan in WCW.

    Bigelow- survivor series 1987.

    Rude-Summerslam 90 vs warrior. His entire WCW run.

  172. Even w/ out the internet, my friends and I knew that was lame. And evem w/ out access to newsletters, we knew that Wrestlemania VII wasn't moved from The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum due to "security reasons"

  173. Wait a second? Roman Reigns is Jimmy Snuka's daughter?

  174. Do remember that "History of Mania" doc, they still push "security reasons" but acknowledge slow sales and the irony that the day of the show, L.A. was hit by a pouring rain.

  175. Yeah, he can grow a duck dynasty beard and comb it over his bald head.

  176. Can't speak for the others but I was only joking. There was nothing hipster or pretentious behind it.

    And I should point out that Weird Science was one of USA's biggest shows at the time and it was loosely based on a hit movie of the same name, you can't get much more mainstream than that.

  177. And if they had done the same for both of them and *THEN* had them face off?!?!? Wow.

  182. HHH was a bigger draw than 'Taker. His run at the top was more successful than Foley's was. If he was "the guy who works with the guy who draws money", then so was just about everyone else (including Foley and 'Taker) in company history except for Hogan, Rocky and Austin.

  183. Squash matches with jobbers made it possible to have a good undercard. Any named wrestler who was on T.V. usually won their match. Now if you go to the undercard, you are either a step away from the top or a step away from being out the door.

  184. There guys that draw big money, guys that draw some money, and guys like HH who draw no money.
