• The fall of WCW remains a hotly debated topic within the wrestling community, with various factors contributing to its downfall. Among the key figures often mentioned in these discussions is Vince Russo. Interestingly, The Rock recently shared his perspective on Russo’s infamous switch from WWF to WCW, expressing a surprising sentiment.
Vince Russo played a pivotal role in WWF during The Rock’s early career, serving as head writer when The Rock first captured the WWF Championship. Russo’s departure from the World Wrestling Federation in late 1999 to take over as head of creative for WCW marked a significant turning point in wrestling history.
In an episode of VICE’s docuseries “Who Killed WCW?”, The Rock opened up about Russo’s decision and its subsequent impact. Despite being known as a wrestling traditionalist, The Rock revealed that he supported Russo’s move and was genuinely happy for him. He acknowledged that such shifts are common in the wrestling world and respected Russo’s choice to pursue what he felt was best for himself and his family.
“When Vince Russo made the jump to WCW to run that entire ship, I remember thinking, ‘Good for him. Great.’ This is the world of professional wrestling. This sh*t happens all the time,” The Rock recalled. “He made the decision that was best for him and his family, and he went after an opportunity to go down to WCW. You’re handed the entire book, write the story.”
