Vince Russo
Vince Russo was born in New York. Before Vince broke into the WWE, he worked for a radio station in New York City that focused on wrestling. Vince was hired by the WWE owner's wife Linda McMahon, which resulted in a job as editor for WWF Magazine. Vince was promoted to head writer in 1997. Famously turned the struggling WWF into a former cartoon-style product to adult oriented programming and helped WWF to beat WCW. Left WWF in 1999 to become WCW's head writer. Also wrote for TNA (Total Nonstop Action). Started his own entertainment channel in 2015.

    • Quotes
      This highest rated segment I ever did in WWF was "This is Your Life:" Rock, when Mick did it. I'll never forget the next day: I was the anti-Christ, it was the worst show they ever saw, Russo's killing wrestling, etc. The segment did an 8.4: eight-and-a-half million people watched that show! Do you know what that did for the wrestling business in general? These people should have been kissing my feet because now 8 million people were looking at wrestling. To me, that's all that mattered. But you have these little cliques of internet people and all they care about is themselves and "what I like" and "what I don't like." Well you know what? It's not about you, it's not about me, it's about the masses. And when 8 million people are watching your show, it doesn't get any better than that.
