Former writer Vince Russo made the following statement about becoming a television character in the third episode of the documentary “Who Killed WCW?”
“I’m just going to be one thousand percent completely honest with you: as far as an on-air character? I felt that I was better than 80% of that roster. I made the mistake of saying ‘You know what? ‘F it, if you want ratings, I will go out there and get ratings myself. I almost got killed, bro. I almost got killed!”
Former WCW star Shane Helms addressed Russo’s comments, and the two had the following exchange via X:
Helms: “🤣🤣🤣 Horseshit!!”
Russo: “And, I hope you’re doing well too, Shane.”
Helms: “I can dig the bravado, we’re all our own biggest fans, but cmon now. 😎👍🏻”
Russo: “I’ll let the heat I got speak for itself.”
Helms: “Heat that doesn’t translate to revenue doesn’t do a lot for me. 🤷🏻♂️”
Russo: “Yeah, much like 50-50 booking doesn’t do much for anybody.”
Helms: “Depends of the situation. A lot of rivalries build by exchanging wins.”
Russo: “And, a lot of revenue is generated by Heat.”
