Over the weekend, it was reported that Vince Russo is claiming that he’s been consulting the USA Network about WWE RAW for the past two years.
During the latest episode of his “The Brand” podcast, the former WWE and WCW creative team writer elaborated on his work with the network, how it came about, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On working with the USA Network: “I’ve been keeping a little secret for the last two+ years. I want to come clean. Well, bro, I’m going to break the news to you on this show. I have not said this publicly before. From March, pre-Mania, bro, it was right before Mania in 2020, up until this past Mania in 2022. So basically, bro, for two years, I was consulting for the USA Network. For two years, bro, the USA Network paid me very, very, very well.”
On how it happened: “Now, if you want to know how this came about, let’s take a couple of steps back, and I will explain it to you. I got in contact with the Vice President at the USA Network, who was overseeing RAW. He knew who I was, called me back immediately, and we had a long discussion. So the first thing he did was he went directly to Vince McMahon.”
On why he’s revealing this news now: “The reason why I’m coming clean is, bro, don’t tell me what the f*** I’m talking about. When it comes to numbers when it comes to networks, I don’t care if it’s 1999 or 2020; I know where they stand. I know what they are looking for. I know what’s acceptable and what’s unacceptable because I had communication with them for two straight years. So, don’t tell me what the f*** I’m talking about, bro, when I’m working directly with the network that WWE RAW is on.”
