Vince Russo is clapping backhardafter Seth Rollins tore into him during a recent podcast appearance, calling him a hanger-on and straight-up saying I hate them both when asked to choose sides between Russo and Jim Cornette.
Rollins made his stance clear during a guest spot on Mohr Stories with Jay Mohr, trashing both men but siding with Cornette if forced to pick.
But then Rollins dropped the real hammer as he said hed still choose Jim Cornette since Cornette hates Russo with a passion.
That was all Russo needed to hear. Russo took to Twitter and called out Rollins directly for the hate, questioning how someone who has never even met him could speak with such contempt.
Russo speculated that Rollins resentment may stem from his past analysis, particularly criticisms about Rollins in-ring psychology and character work.
Russo also took issue with Rollins continuing to encourage fan chants after turning heel, saying it goes against basic wrestling character logic.
The former WWE, WCW, and TNA writer even mentioned his long-standing criticism of Triple H, calling him not a writer and claiming WWEs recent viewership numbers support his case.
Russo rejected the notion that hes a hanger-on in the wrestling world and invited Rollins to watch his YouTube channel if he wants to actually learn about storytelling and what being a heel really means.
And of course, Russo couldnt resist one last swing at The Visionary and Triple H:
Vince Russo clearly took Seth Rollins podcast comments personallyand now hes not just defending his legacy, hes offering unsolicited lessons in wrestling psychology. Whether Rollins responds remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Russo isnt backing down anytime soon.
