Below are some top WWE news stories of the day, involving Vince Russo.
• WWE Hall of Famer JBL was asked about his relationship with Vince Russo during a Q&A session on Something To Wrestle With.
Here’s what the former WWE Champion said:
“He mentioned the Brawl For All and he tries to make a living off controversy, and if it’s not me, it’s somebody else. I have no desire to be in a controversy with somebody that can’t go back anywhere he’s been a part of. You know, that’s all you need to know about him.
He literally cannot go back to any place that he has been and worked, as far as I know. You don’t see him at WWE reunions. You don’t see him anywhere else, and so he makes his living off controversy.
If it’s not me, it’s somebody else, and I have no desire to get into anything with somebody on the internet that certainly does not, that’s all. I have no desire to get into a controversy with this guy.”

• JBL was asked about Vince McMahon’s feelings toward Vince Russo during a Q&A session on Something To Wrestle With.
Here’s what the former WWE Champion said:
“When I did a ‘Legends with JBL’ and I had Eric Bischoff on, he said something about Vince Russo as far as WCW. Russo sent me a text. I sent a very nice text back. He said, ‘I want to come on and refute what Bischoff said about me’; I said, ‘Okay’ so I asked Vince McMahon.
I said, ‘Hey, here’s what happened on Legends with JBL. I had Bischoff on; I thought it was a very good show, but he said this about Vince Russo. Russo has sent me this text. You can read it if you want to.’ He said, ‘No, I don’t want to. Give me a summary of what it is.’ I gave him a summary. I said, ‘Would you want to do a show with Vince Russo? I’ll be happy to interview him.’
Vince said, ‘Nope. Not giving him any press whatsoever. Nope. Not doing it’, and that was it.
So I don’t know if Vince had any animosity towards him or this guy was out there saying anything negative about our product and I don’t want to give him press as far as prestige, as far as putting him on a WWE show.
I don’t know what Vince’s motive was behind saying unequivocally, ‘No, this is not going to happen.’ So I don’t know what Vince was thinking.”
