Ex-WWE employee complains about how long it takes Jey Uso to get to the ring
Vince Russo recently complained about Jey Uso's entrance and noted that it took him too long to get to the ring.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW podcast, Russo claimed that lengthy entrances for WWE Superstars made for horrible television. The legend noted that the entrances are not exciting for the fans who tune in to watch the shows every week because they have already seen them a bunch of times.
"These freaking long entrances, man, it's horrible TV. Like I said, you're in the arena, Jey [Uso] is coming down, we're all doing whoop whoop, and everybody is excited. When you see that on TV a thousand times...get on with it already. These long, drawn-out entrances kill me. Just kill me, bro," said Vince Russo. [38:59 to 39:22]

Jey Uso has never won a major title in the promotion. Only time will tell if the 39-year-old can defeat Gunther to capture the World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night's Main Event next weekend.
