“Vince, you know, going back to Jericho, going back to the Bullet club bro. Vince has no knowledge of who these people are. When I tell you Vince is ingrained 1000 percent in the WWE. Bro Vince didn’t know who ECW wrestlers were. Vince didn’t know what was going on at WCW. Bro he doesn’t know what’s going on in the industry outside of the WWE.

Russo continued that he was the guy that brought Jericho in because he was watching WCW. Russo knew that the young and brash Jericho would be awesome.
He was the bridge between WWE and the Dudleys and Tazz. He revealed that McMahon wasn’t watching that stuff and still doesn’t. Russo even guarantees that McMahon had no idea who AJ Styles was before he hired him.
