Speaking on Two Man Power Trip:>“No, bro. It’s not a personal thing with Sami Zayn. The WWE World Champion’s supposed to be the greatest wrestler on the planet, okay? You can’t put Sami Zayn next to Hulk Hogan, man. I’m sorry. You just can’t do that. It’s got nothing to do with the dude personally. I don’t know him. I’m sure he’s a great guy, but when I look at the lineage of the WWE title going all the way back to Bruno, you just can’t put the title on that guy, bro. I don’t even care if it’s for nine days.”The interviewer pushed back, pointing out that Zayn was clearly booked as a transitional champion to get the title onto CM Punk. Russo wasn’t convinced:>“It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter, bro. What you’re saying by putting that out there is anybody… anybody could be the WWE World Champion. That’s what you’re saying, bro. Not anybody could be quarterback of the New England Patriots. It takes a special guy to be the quarterback of the New England Patriots. It should take a real, real special guy to be a WWE Champion. That’s my opinion.”>“Bro, come on. It’s not realistic. And that’s the s*** that turns casual viewers off. That’s the stuff that turns casual viewers away from the show.”>“Bro, I put like three guys. To me, Kofi, Daniel Bryan, and Sami Zayn. Come on, guys. Like, seriously. Come on, man.”When the interviewer pointed to Bryan’s reputation as one of the greatest in-ring wrestlers ever:>“See what you just said? Best wrestlers. Casual fans see that, bro, and they’re like, ‘Get the f*** out of here, bro.'”>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Dv8GQPW3bA
>Jinder, Bray Wyatt and Big E are fine but nooo not Sami
>>20837477you mean the same guy that booked himself and david arquette to be world champion?
No lies told.
>>20837477Go book JCW you loaf
>>20837477he's right
>>20837477>it's not a personal thingOh it definitely is. He hates Sami cause Sami, like many others shat on Russo's writing.>it's not realisticWhen did Russo start pushing for realistic wrestling shows cause it sure fucking wasn't when he was writing
>>20837477Also add Kevin owens
>>20837495This part
>>20837477The WWF Title hasn't meant shit since they put it on a midget. Can you believe that put that little gremlin over real men like Ted Dibiase and Ric Flair?
>>20840344Nah it's because Sami is lame. If someone checks out Smackdown for a few minutes out of curiosity and see that guy as champ they're gonna die of cringe
Sami should’ve been champion years ago when he was the single best thing about the Bloodline. People saying he shouldn’t be champion have lost their minds.
>>20840466he never was>>20840565If someone checks out Smackdown for a few minutes they're gonna die of cringe regardless of who's on camera
>>20837477he's right. so many shitters have been champ just to appease smarks and their retarded bullshit
>>20840561Found the it’s still real to me guy.
>>20840586
>>20837495Holy shit dat fuckin partThe nerve of that hypocrite motherfucker
>>20837477Both sides are fucking retards. He was a feel good transitional champ. Like Mankind, like Ronnie Garvin, Kane, etc. One side obsesses over anyone who comes from indies as sign of wrestling End Times and another still treats not just titles, but generally TV product as this weird fucking, head patting prestige participation awards where everything should be centered around who "deserved" what and who had better workrate instead of what makes fun TV wrestling product, which is not fucking same thing as putting a hard cam in bingo hall and selling DVDs to smarks.
>>20837477I get where Russo is coming from, but at the same time he acts as if Sami is the first 'undeserving' wrestler to win the WWE titleThere were several more before him that won the belt in the past 25 years who shouldn't have, so Sami winning it isn't some major blow to the belt's legitimacy at this pointPlus like the other anon said, the fact that he put WCW's top belt on David Arquette and himself pretty much wrecks his entire opinion on this
>>20841556>He was a feel good transitional champ. Like Mankind, like Ronnie Garvin, Kane,except he nobody felt good, and being nowhere near prime Kane and Mankind.
>>20842020Ignore that roman held it for 4 years straight and made it legit again
>>20837477Yeah bro. Nothing more realistic than the show writer putting the belt on himself. I'm sure the casuals he keeps talking about flocked to see that.
It was a solid week reign. That's perfect for guys like Sami, desu.>>20837477>You can't put Sami next to HoganHe dead.>muh lineageThis is rich coming from Russo. A nigga that booked Arquette, Jarrett and himself to win a belt and said it doesn't matter.>what you're putting out there is that anybody could be championAgain, rich coming from Russo.>Kofi, Bryan and ZaynOf the three, Kofi is the only terrible one. Zayn won in a triple threat and immediately lost it. Bryan they had to change course because he was so over, and regardless, Bryan has a build of a lil nigga that gets in fights. It's not like he's rail thin.
>>20842041Held it 4 years and was barely on TV so they had to make a new shitty belt again...And his little story didn't really get over until... SAMI ZAYN fucking joined.
>>20837477Sami is a better wrestler than Hogan though. He's just a size queen.
>>20840616not the WWE title, slapnut
>>20842619Sami Zayn looks like a short order cook in a Pikeville Waffle House and Hogan looked like a star. People don't pay money to see Sami.
>>20840616thats a retired belt that no longer exists.
>>20842638>>20842653>noooo it doesn’t count even though it was a recognised world title
>>20837477>absolutely broI love the fact that Russo is such an irrelevant shitter that the only way he can earn a living now is by continuing to exploit his own lolcow-ness
>>20837495>seething over this 25 years laterbased russo still working the smarks
>>20837477I'm pretty tired of seeing Vince Russo's whiney ass bitching about WWE.
>>20842725Russo was hilariously stupid enough to throw his last emails to Vince in his latest book. Someone on Twitter posted it and it's fucking hilarious how pathetic Russo comes off and how Vince shuts him down and makes him seethe.
>>20842762Kek, based Vinny Mac
>>20837495Bro, the WEEK after they had Arquette win the PROP, bro the title BRO is a PROP bro, the week AFTER bro, CourtNEY cox bro got us on the Cover of USA Today Bro. You can't buy THAat publisity Bro. Dam MARKS bro
>>20842723>shit yourself>ew you shit yourself>WORKED BRO
>>20842612>Held it 4 years and was barely on TV so they had to make a new shitty belt againWhich nobody gave a fuck about because roman had the real belt>>20842612>And his little story didn't really get over until... SAMI ZAYN fucking joined.nobody can remember what sami was doing before bloodline, meanwhile roman was running the show and main eventing wrestlemania. seems legit bro
>>20842762Kek he said Shane told him to send the email and even told him what to say
>>20842762KWAB
>>20837477this triggered the resident obese subhuman smark
>>20837495THIS.The gall of this fucking hypocrite Ruso
>>20837477kek its already forgotten
>>20837495that was better than anything jihad sami has ever done
>>20842762What the FUCK was Russo thinking here?
>>20846970Russo would legit sell his soul to be back as head of creative. For someone that hates wrestling so much like he claims, it's clear that those two years were the highlight of his entire existence. He could've done what Ferrara did and just go back to writing TV, teaching courses, but Russo rather bitch to 90-100~ viewers about how it's not 98-99 anymore.
>>20847710>someone that hates wrestling so much like he claims,He hates modern wrestling.
>>20842762Wow this actually makes me sad. Dude's ego got in the way of a good thing. Vince completely nuked him from orbit with that WCW line, basically pointing out that yeah you had success 20 years ago but you also had failure. Feel bad for how hard he fucked that up.
>>20842762Anon here. It's more pathetic than I though. Dropping in the entire chapter. I only knew of the original couple of exchanges, but he posts the whole thing. Shit is sad. Book looks like shit on Kindle.
>>20847781
>>20847785"Come on. I mean, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden jump up and grind my feet on someone's couch, like it's something to do? Come on, I got a little more sense than that..". . "Yeah, I remember grinding my feet on Eddie's couch."
>>20847788
>>20847791
>>20847794Legit Stevie Richards tier of beta.
>>20847802
>>20840569>Roman’s historic title reign should’ve been cut short for a Reddit pity runFuck off, retard. Adults are talking.
>>20847905Would have been better than cawdy
>>20842641kek i see im not the only one around here who knows about the horrors of pikeville ky. most fucked up town in appalachia by far.
>>20847794lol lol lol still being this obsessed about commercial breaks in 2021. Also I imagine Russo was checking his mail constantly while Vince was just annoyed about having to pause raping and polishing his Omos dildo
>>20847805What happened next? Did he get a clue?
>>20848092I'm trying to get through it, I started reading the TNA parts. The lucky thing is Russo is a terrible writer, so it's a quick read full of cope. I'm at the part about his failed pretzel stand. >>20848027What stood out to me were the times Russo was responding. Nigga was up at 4:30 responding to Vince and begging for him to say anything. The time he though Vince texted him and then the email he sent after were like ten minutes. It's clear he wanted a job.
>>20847905YesWM 40 and Cody’s run means absolutely nothing 3 years later.Sami absolutely should have won that match.>Historic RunWith a fake championship. the blue belt at that.Don’t be a mark.
>>20848114>I'm at the part about his failed pretzel stand.lol what?
>>20848148When he first left TNA during the Bischoff/Hogan era (this was before he was a secret consultant), he tried franchising a pretzel stand from Pennsylvania in bumfuck Colorado.
>>20848230The more you know. Why did it flop? Bad ratings?
>>20837495>>20840474>>20841528>>20846885I missed the part where either of them beat the champion fairly one on one and were presented as in any way legitimate or on the same level as the top guys in the company with everyone on the show saying how they deserve it
>is so desperate to be back in the 90s and relevant to wrestling Move on dude
>>20849239>it's ok to put the company's top title on an actor and the booker because [bullshit]if you legitimately think sami having the title is worse than russo or arquette, you are legitimately retarded.
>>20849239I missed the part where Sami won the wwe title from a one on one match
>>20847781>>20847785>>20847788>>20847791>>20847794oh my fucking God
>>20837477truke
>>20842762lol guarantee that was steph writing back
>>20852853It was Vince. I think Steph would've said WCW and TNA. Vince probably has no idea what the fuck TNA is or that Russo was there.
>>20842762lol vinscat scattedy mcmahomo really does type like that
>>20837477I’ve just considered it non canon and moved on
>>20837477based and true
>>20837477Don't care for this guy but I agree mostly. For me, there should only be 1 world title anyways. Having 2 belts and 2 midcard belts devalues each championship. And i am not even sure if there's 2 tag titles still which would be stupid anyways.
>>20837477I'm not reading this retarded drivel but he's right
>>20837477>Giving Sami the title ultimately costed Triple H's jobKWAB
