Russo: It was Schiavone’s idea for Arquette to win WCW Title

Do you believe him?

[chazraps]

Vince Russo is a dumb out-of-touch racist.

Also, a sexist homophobe.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

It's well known that Schiavone suggested that Arquette win the title as a joke, but Russo took it seriously. So it's still Russo's fault.

Then again, maybe Tony should have thought before he mentioned a swerve in front of Vince Russo.

[hassanchop]

Tony explains his side of the story and he says he’s blamed for it. Strong language.

[Feyrhausen]

Peter David suggested that Magneto pull the adamantium out of Wolverine. Doesn't mean he gets the blame for it happening in a comic written by someone else, published by someone else. Although I'm sure he would have loved the royalties.

[I'm Team Bayley and Indi]

Even if it was Tony's idea 100 percent, it was a cherry on top of a million Bad Russo ideas during his tenure there

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

considering Tony only said it as a joke and Russo was the idiot who actually ran with it, he has nobody else to blame.

Yeah this. Russo is THE BOOKER. The guy who books the angles. Just because someone has a stupid idea, or is joking around, doesn't mean he has to book that.

[The Dark Order Inferno]

'Everything good was me, everything bad was someone else.' Second verse, same as the first.

Sod off Russo, you were booking, you took a bad idea said in jest and put it on screen, it wasn't Bischoff, Schiavone, it was you.

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

So if Tony said put the title on Angela Lansbury, he would have said yes?

Actually, he probably should have said yes to that idea.

If he was in the room when the Frozen Nazi was brought up, I guarantee Heidenreich would have been goose-stepping to the ring in a suit studded with fake icicles....bro....

Bro I’m not a racist bro

(Does rant on his podcast against black people)

Bro I may be racist bro but I’m not a homophobe

(Does rant on his podcast calling gay people not normal)

Bro what was the third thing you called me?

[This Player Hating Mothman]

Even if Schaivone saying it as a joke wasn't already widely spread knowledge, I wouldn't believe Russo about a f***ing thing. You just can't; he's all but declared openly that you shouldn't believe a word out of his mouth f***ing ever.

[Ben Wyatt]

Hearing Tony talk since the end of WCW, you really get a sense of just how beaten down the guy was in the end. Damn shame to, because until the height of the nWo stuff, he was the best in the business.

[Crappler El 0 M]

Tony didn't have the book.

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

Yeah, Tony used that as a joke and you ran with it while you clearly weren't joking about putting the title on Tank Abbot

It may be hard Russo but get enough space in your house to look at your big ass head in the mirror and think to yourself where things went wrong

[Hit Girl]

Doesn't matter who comes up with an idea. All that matters is who approves it for broadcast.
