    I love how Goldberg called him shit stain. That just goes to show everyone thinks he is shit stain not just Jim.
  • Lol oh my god, Russo in ICP makeup. Travis Heckel never misses
  • @mattm6580
    I'm torn on Goldberg. On the one hand, he ended Brets career. On the other hand, he speared shitstain into the guardrail.
  • @Lady.Luthien
    You just know whenever Russo starts a sentence with "I'm gonna be totally honest with you," he's about to lie his @$$ off.
  • @Epsilonsama
    Goldberg calling Russo Shitstain popped me ngl
  • The fact that to this day Russo blames everything and everyone else for his own incompetence proves he's full of shit.
  • @zaphod100
    Every time Russo says bro, some of my brain cells die
  • Russo back then: Nothing matters in wrestling but the TV ratings. Tony Khan now: Nothing matters in wrestling but the Cagematch ratings.
  • 3 people killed WCW. 1. HOGANS - Creative control. 2. Bischoff - Swinging on Hogans nuts. 3. Shitstain - For being a shitstain

    Honestly, as a kid when Russo started doing a promo, my brother and I couldn't change to Raw fast enough.
  • @riotd.r.8363
    I recently learned that the executive that made the call to pull WCW from the stations also cancelled my favorite WB cartoons. Not to speak ill of the dead, but in his life I say: Boo this man!
  • The death of wcw was a group effort, everybody chipped in, nash, bischoff, hogan, russo, ect. I just find it funny that now all the ones that played a part in it are now saying "well what had happen was....."
  • So one thing I can vouch for Jimmy without question? Was when I first started Greener than goose shit at Ohio Valley, & wrestling with VERY limited experience, and Jimmy wanted me to bodyslam somebody at the very end of my In-ring promo. BUT Before Jimmy would allow me to do it to the heel during our TV , before the show started, he made me do it to him first in the ring. Showing the multi year heel, I would be safe with him. That tells you all you need to know about Jim Cornette and his respect for our business

    If you aren't watching Reliving the War from Wrestling Bios, your missing a hell of a series that covers EXACTLY what happened during this time
  • @nsanelycrazy
    After that episode there should be no question in anybodys mind why Jim hates Russo.
  • @ChrisG667
    I can’t believe Duckman killed WCW. I thought he was an honest detective!
  • @televiper11
    People forget that Russo, even when he was “head writer,” didn’t book the main events for the WWF— that was Vince & Patterson exclusively. Russo wrote for the rest of the card and even that stuff went through Vince first. But Russo smooth-talked his way into WCW and then immediately crashed & burned.
  • @timdertim
    Vince Russo is delusional. That last episode of Who killed WCW left no doubt about it
