WWE stars like Sami Zayn and Bayley have often received criticism from a particular veteran of the pro-wrestling business. However, the veteran, Vince Russo, recently clarified that it was nothing personal.
While Sami Zayn and Bayley have dedicated fanbases, their storylines in WWE have been lacking at times. According to Vince Russo, who has extensive experience booking shows for wrestling promotions, this has led to the talented stars not being used to their full potential. However, Russo's criticisms do not mean he has any personal hatred for them.
Speaking on Sportskeeda's Writing with Russo, the WWE veteran stated:
"I don't go back to burying freaking people that I worked with. That's not what I do. Like I said, I even feel bad when I have got to critique the Sami Zayns, and the Bayleys, and the... But that's what I do," Russo said. It's no different than, like I said, Terry Bradshaw... You know they are talking about a team, or they are talking about a head coach. It's the same exact thing. It's nothing personal towards these people." [13:52 onwards]
According to Vince Russo, he could only return to working for the Stamford-based promotion today if he were broke.
Speaking on another episode of Sportskeeda's Writing with Russo, the veteran stated that even if he worked for the company, he would never be physically backstage.
"I've said a million times, I would consult right from here. You know why bro? Because right from here is not in that bubble. I'm not going anywhere near that bubble." He continued, "As long as I'm able to pay my bills, support me and my wife, live my very, very modest lifestyle, you'd never get me back in that world bro, never."
It remains to be seen if Russo will be back in WWE someday.
