“Vince Didn’t Allow You to Breathe” – Former WWE Writer Shoots on Working With Vince McMahon

Published 09/01/2021, 1:02 PM EDT

As we all know, WWE’s CEO Vince McMahon isn’t the easiest person to be around. This has been confirmed by multiple people from WWE as well as ex-workers.

Even WWE’s former head writer, Vince Russo, spoke out about how difficult it is to work with Vince McMahon. On the “Writing with Russo” podcast, he stated, “Bro, I was the complete opposite, I’m just being honest with you. I wanted to be around Vince as little as possible because Vince did not allow you to breathe. So, I wanted to get away from Vince. I didn’t want Vince’s attention.

“Bro, the worst thing in the world for me was having to travel with Vince, and his inner circle will kill to travel with him. It’s weird, bro.”

Russo continued his rant and revealed that there was something about Vince McMahon and his inner circle of people. For Russo, it is the weirdest dynamic. According to him, there is a group of people that are constantly vying for Vince’s attention, which is very, very important to them.

From what it seems, nobody wants to cross Vince and just wants to stay on the boss’s good side. We can’t blame them for it!

However, in recent times, fans have started to question Vince McMahon’s decisions; the release of fan-favorite wrestlers and repetitive storylines have frustrated the fans. In fact, talent released by WWE has now made a name for themselves at other promotions.

But all is not yet lost, as WWE signed a few upcoming young talents to their Performance Centre. So, we can expect things to get better with time. For now, a few NXT call ups to the main roster, like Karrion Kross, might work for short-term amendments.
