Vince Russo recently wrote a column for CSRWrestling.com and talks about how professional wrestling will die if it does not grow.
He talks about the inept booking decisions by WWE this past week, as well as Ring of Honor on Destination America. Below is an excerpt from his column and the rest can be found here.
“NOBODY cares about wrestling anymore other than those who care about wrestling. I don’t care about wrestling despite the fact that I’ve been watching since before I ever hit puberty. There is just nothing there–absolutely nothing to look forward to. It is bland, it is uneventful, it is . . . well . . . wrestling. In the last 15 years, everything has changed when it comes to entertainment. Reality TV has taken over the airwaves, traditional television has been taken over by cutting edge programming on paid networks, music has changed, sports has changed, but yet, the only thing that remains the same is professional wrestling. Just this past week Rusev didn’t leave the ring to go after another wrestler who was making out with his girl in front of him, simply because for the last 50 years, that imaginary wall continues to surrounded the ring preventing one wrestler from going after another for who knows why.”
