In pro wrestling you need a storyline, and you need a writer, Vince Russo is that writer...
Vince Russo has been a writer for pro wrestling for alot of years, he started in the WWE, then we went to WCW then to TNA. In The WWE vince has written alot of storyline's for alot of wrestlers over the years, but some of those storylines have been failers. The most famous storyline was the montreal screw job at the Survivor Series between bret hart, shawn michaels, and vince mcmahon. Vince has seen alot of superstars become great champions because of his work.
But if there was a failer in vince russo, it was at over the edge '99, Vince originaly wrote a storyline for the late Owen hart, where he would get involve with his manager Deborah Mcmichaels in a lovers affair, but owen declined the script to avoid family problems. Vince mcmahon was not happy with the outcome, so vince told Russo to write another script but this time it was a punishment for owen because of his decline of the storyline. Owen was going to portray his earlier characters the blue blazer. The script would be owens fate & russo's failer.
The out come at over the edge was shocking and saddened, owen hart died falling to his death infront of a sold out crowd. After the events that took owen life, vince russo had to experence public Humilation and finger pointing toward him and vince mcmahon forowen's death. The WWE was sued for alot of money for owens death, so the out come was a settlement of alot of money. Vince would have to live his entire life knowing that he was responsible for owen death and not the WWE. Vince Russo would eventually leave the WWE and go on to WCW and write for eric Bischoff, the Result was bad raitings and loss of millions of dollars, so vince took a hike and moved down south to Nashville Tennesie and joined dixie carter and jeff jarrett at NWA TNA. Vince Russo would be a writer once again and match booker, he would eventually form a stable group call S.E.X (Sports Entertainment Extreme) and reek havoc on the wrestling scene in 2003. Vince would make alot of money, and make alot of champions.
In 2004, Roddy Piper made a guest appearence on NWA-TNA hosting a special pipers pit segment where he talking about how he grew up as a young kid trying to make it in pro wrestling, he also talked about the WWE and their writers, one imperticuler Vince Russo, but what got me was a question that piper threw at Russo was "Russo did you write my cousin owen's death", that got me in the stomach like some puch the living sh*t out of me. The interview between piper & russo lasted for 30-minutes.
After the interview the question got to me, was vince russo responsible for owen harts death?
well my responce was i don't know!!
Hopfully that question will be answered in years to come, but only one man can answer that question and it's Vince Russo aka Vic Venom....
