The ongoing feud between Vince Russo and Seth Rollins has reached new heights, with the wrestling legend unleashing a scathing rebuke at the former WWE Champion for calling him a “hanger-on” and an “idiot” during a recent podcast appearance.
The Feud Escalates
For those who may have missed it, Rollins sparked the controversy when he was asked to choose between Vince Russo and Eric Bischoff, two of the most polarizing figures in professional wrestling history. In a shocking display of honesty, Rollins bluntly stated that he “hates them both,” which understandably ruffled the feathers of Russo.
According to sources close to Russo, the wrestling legend was furious with Rollins’ comments and has been seeking a way to respond ever since.
“Vince was fuming when he heard Seth’s comments,” a WWE insider revealed to me. “He felt disrespected and betrayed, especially considering the contributions Seth has made to the WWE. Vince has a lot of respect for Seth as a wrestler, but his words cut deep, and he’s been itching for a chance to set the record straight.”
Vince Russo Fires Back
In a lengthy and scathing rebuttal, Russo took to social media to address Rollins’ comments, calling him out for being “cowardly” and “unprofessional.”
“Seth Rollins thinks he’s above the fray, that he’s somehow better than the rest of us,” Russo wrote in a series of scathing posts. “Newsflash, Seth: you’re not. You’re just a guy who made a lot of money in the WWE and then proceeded to trash the very people who helped you get there. You’re a hanger-on, Seth, and you’ll always be a hanger-on. You’re not a legend, you’re not a icon, you’re just a guy who rode the coattails of Vince McMahon and the WWE. And you know what? I’m proud of it. I’m proud to have been a part of building the WWE into the global phenomenon it is today. And I’m proud to have played a small part in making you the star you are today. So, Seth, keep talking. Keep hating. But at the end of the day, you’re still just a hanger-on, and I’m still the one who helped make the WWE great.”
Backstage Reaction
The WWE locker room was abuzz with reactions to Russo’s fiery rebuke, with many superstars weighing in on the controversy.
“I think it’s great that Vince is speaking his mind,” said a WWE source. “He’s always been a bit of a lightning rod for controversy, and this is just another example of that. I think Seth’s comments were a bit of a low blow, and Vince’s response was justified.”
However, not everyone was in agreement. Some WWE superstars felt that Russo’s comments were too harsh and that he was being overly sensitive.
“I think Vince overreacted a bit,” said another WWE insider. “Seth’s comments were just his opinion, and Vince shouldn’t have taken it so personally. At the end of the day, it’s just a bunch of old guys arguing with each other. Who cares?”
The Fallout
The fallout from Russo’s rebuttal is still unclear, but one thing is certain: the tension between the two wrestling legends has reached new heights. As the WWE continues to navigate the ever-changing landscape of professional wrestling, it’s clear that the feud between Russo and Rollins will be one to watch in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, the question on everyone’s mind is: what’s next? Will Rollins respond to Russo’s comments, or will he choose to let the controversy die down? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the WWE universe is on pins and needles, waiting to see what’s next.
