During an interview on the Mohr Stories podcast, Seth Rollins was asked whose side he’d pick in a public battle between Jim Cornette and Vince Russo. Here’s what Rollins said:
“I’ve hung out with Cornette because Cornette was a booker of mine. He was fine. He’s super entertaining. I mean, the guy can still cut a promo. He’s just a victim of the hot-take culture where he has to say the craziest thing that comes to his brain, and that’s how he makes his money on his podcast.
They’re both idiots, but if I had to pick one, it’d be Cornette. He hates Vince Russo with a passion. That is real.”
When asked if anybody loves Vince Russo other than Russo himself, Rollins replied:
“Nobody that I’m aware of. He’s just a hanger-on, man. That guy’s an idiot.”
Vince Russo had the following to say about Seth’s comments:
“So, Seth Rollins ‘Hates Me’ and according to him I’m a ‘Hanger On-er’. So this is why I love being an analyst. I get to really analyze people’s comments.
So, Seth Rollins ‘hates’ a guy that he actually never even met, or even had a conversation with. In other words he’s never had any contact with me in any way, shape, or form. That equates to—Rollins doesn’t know me.
So then WHY the hate?
I’m assuming that it must have to do with my ‘analysis’ of Seth Rollins over the years. While there is no question that Seth is a Great Athlete, I have always questioned Seth being a Great ‘Worker’. Why? Simply because I have witnessed dozens of Seth’s matches over the years where he fails to SELL. In my book, being a Great Worker means you know how to Sell.
From there, I questioned why, when Seth turned ‘Heel’, did he still go out there and literally CONDUCT the fans as they sang along to his song. Is that what a ‘Heel’ would do?
Then there’s this—me saying to NAUSEAM that his ‘Mentor’ (thus, Seth being his ‘Boy’), Triple H is NOT A WRITER. Guess what? I’m not even going to argue that point. SmackDown just did under a MILLION VIEWERS for the third time. That’s Proof enough.
From there ‘Idaho’s Own’, ‘The Monday Night Messiah’, Seth Freakin’ Rollins, ‘The Visionary’, and whatever other moniker he’s used over the years, said that I was a Hanger-On-er. Bro—I left the WWE over 26 years ago. Don’t you think by now my hands would have been callused, bloody and scarred grasping that rope? Brother—I don’t have Seth Rollins muscles, I would have let go within the first three minutes.
And lastly . . . the obvious . . . ‘NOBODY LIKES HIM’.
Yup—that must explain why I keep getting hired over and over again even at 65 years-old.
Seth—it you want to learn anything about being a character, storylines, what exactly a ‘heel’ is and yes, even SELLING—you can tune into JCW Lunacy every Thursday Night on YouTube.
Maybe you can even have a sleepover with Triple H—wouldn’t hurt him to learn a thing or two either.
And, while I thank both you and Mr. Mohr for putting me over by mentioning me on his show—PLEASE—and I BEG YOU—respond to this RussosBrand.com could use the Clicks!!!
Good day and Merry Christmas.
By the way, Seth Rollins—-I don’t hate you—-not one, single bit.
I hope you and your Beautiful Family have a Joyous Holiday!!!”
