Vince Russo

Vince Russo is one of wrestling's most polarizing figures, and I find him endlessly interesting precisely because of that. Across the WWF, WCW, and TNA he injected a chaotic, unpredictable, almost reality-TV sensibility into pro wrestling storytelling, and the results ranged from electric to disastrous. I will not pretend his booking was always coherent, but he understood that wrestling lives or dies on shock and emotion. The fact that he eventually stepped in front of the camera himself tells you everything about his appetite for the spotlight. Now a relentless podcaster, he remains, to me, a man who simply cannot stop talking shop.
