I enjoyed the Russo episodes but jeezus he really needs to learn to tell the Owen's death story with some tact or not tell it at all. e: he got a lot better at the end of the story when he broke down but I'm referring more to the beginning of it when it seemed like he was putting the blame on the WCW rigging crew. cronox2 fucked around with this message at 17:42 on Jul 1, 2014 |

I listened to the second part of Austin's interview with Vince Russo, and now Russo is taking credit for giving Vince McMahon the idea for the Montreal screwjob. I remember hearing that it was Triple H that said to Vince and Shawn, "If he's not going to do business, gently caress him, we'll do business for him." Is this the first time that Russo has said that he was behind the idea?

I've listened to every Austin podcast since the first one and the 2nd part of Russo was the first one I've ever had to turn off without finishing because I couldn't stand to hear the guest talk for another minute. I have no idea how Austin sat there for that entire three hour conversation without snapping. Not only does Russo take credit for everything, but in most instances, like the Austin 3:16 thing, he explains it in terms that are immediately self contradictory and make no sense. I sat there listening to the timeline he gave for the rise of Austin 3:16 thinking he sounded exactly like Hogan taking credit for something but having so little idea what he was talking about that he couldn't even lie coherently. I swear any time Austin insists that he's forgotten so much from his wrestling career, it's because he knows the guest is about to lie their rear end off and he just doesn't want to bother contradicting or arguing with them.

He's also one of those guys who thumps the table/desk for emphasis with every THUMP single THUMP word THUMP and THUMP sometimes THUMP every THUMP single THUMP SYL THUMP LA THUMP BLE The sad thing is that there are obviously sensible and good ideas in amongst the rapid-fire spray of thoughts he has but he never seems able to restrain himself or covers them with so much bullshit that they get lost or ignored. It's one of the reasons I absolutely believe in the idea that McMahon was the filter for his ideas, even if he explicitly rejects that himself - after all in the first part of the interview he straight up says,"I wrote down every single idea I had, put as much thought as possible into it, went into excruciating details etc, etc and then I'd give it to Vince and he would take everything I did and somehow just make it all better."

Well worldy scholars and scientists have known for quite some time that the Bible outweighs the Bhagavad Gita here by a pound to a pound and a half sometimes, outweighs the Talmud sometimes by three to four pounds, outweighs that mighty Koran sometimes by five to ten pounds. You think about that.

Bret's book said Gerald Brisco came up with the Screwjob finisher so that is probably most likely the truth. Russo did take credit for every single thing. When he was talking about Golddust it was like it was all Russo, none of it was actually due to Golddust himself, yet 15 years later Golddust is still on fire. Speaking of, I had no idea Austin and Golddust were travel buddies. I cannot wait for that show.

Yeah, while the bullshit was hard to listen to the most grating thing with Russo was the loving THUMPING during every freaking point of emphasis (which was about every fifth word). You could also tell Steve was choosing to just not be contradictory and let the guy speak no matter what he said. The whole "Steve, this is the honest truth" after every question just tells you he's full of poo poo. He also seems to be in the Hogan zone (like others have suggested) where I don't think he's explicitly lying to take credit for things so much as he has a distorted view of reality where he really thinks he did these things.

It was shocking how little credit Russo gave Austin for the Attitude Era. Austin asked what was the reason behind the success of the Attitude Era and I thought of course he's going to say the Austin/McMahon storyline. Immediately I became interested because I wanted to hear them talk about how that storyline came about. Instead he just talks about Mike Tyson. "Look at the numbers: When he was on that PPV, the next week we went from a 3 to a 4." Oh, you mean the PPV where Austin won the title for the first time? Don't you think that had something to do with the numbers? Note how he says the next week, not the night after. The Raw the night after WM did not have Tyson and Tyson was barely mentioned, so there's no reason to assume he would be on Raw the next week. Who the hell was watching WWE for Tyson the week after WM? He then further talks about how he gave wrestlers something different to do each week. That's what made the Attitude Era great. He mentions the zamboni. He mentions the beer truck that Russo had to beg and plead with Austin to do. After Russo left, Austin became a comedy act. You know Austin 3:16? McMahon never understood that. It was Russo's idea to put that on the magazine cover as soon as he heard it.

He absolutely believes that he did these things. Basically he has an idea, Vince sees something interesting in there somewhere and salvages something from it, a lot of people work on it and then it becomes a success. The problem is that Russo sees Step A) The initial idea, and Step B) The success. There's nothing else there. It would be interesting to put cats like him and Hogan in a room with someone who knows they're full of poo poo and will actually call them out on it. I can understand why Austin wouldn't want to though. I guess it's like Marc Maron's interview with Carlos Mencia, where he just lets him talk until he has enough rope to hang himself with.

Austin letting Russo blab on and on without challenging him is even funnier if you've listened to the podcast for a while, because Austin has a memory like a trap for stuff he chooses to remember on the air. There was an episode a while back where he was describing a tag match from early in his career where he remembered exactly how the tags went, who got heat in what order, and who won the pinfall using which move. But then he pretends not to know how Austin 3:16 became a big deal.

He basically brought up one topic, then let Russo dig his own grave.

There was a good example of Austin's memory in that very episode. Russo was like "Steve, I don't know if you will remember, we were doing a house show and the light went out, I am not sure where it wa-" Austin: "Florence, South Carolina"

Something that struck me, particularly in the first episode, was Steve's emphatic and repeated mentions of Russo's site and twitter handle, as if to say "direct hate-mail over there."

To be fair, Austin makes a big deal out of plugging the hell out of anything his guests are doing, and will frequently ask them during the interview if they have anything else going on they want him to plug. He'll give out phone numbers, e-mails and facebook accounts to help get guys bookings, push their websites and any projects they're currently working on, and promote any event they might be making an appearance at. I imagine Russo will see some kind of bump up in visitors to his site after this interview, and I doubt he is going to be displeased by that even if a bunch of them are showing up to tell him he sucks.
