Vince Russo - Wrestling, Writing and Fatherhood - Staying Real in the Unreal World of Wrestling

Vince Russo is an American professional wrestling writer, booker, and pundit. He is notable for his tenures in creative roles with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). He also occasionally made appearances as an on-screen authority figure, and professional wrestler, in WCW and TNA.

 

Russo's writing style often blurs the line between reality and fiction, while also favoring elements such as shock twists, grand moments, and larger-than-life characters over in-ring action, which made him a controversial figure among some wrestling fans. Russo was part of the WWF's creative department during the widely acclaimed Attitude Era, during which the company achieved record high television ratings. He now writes for Juggalo Championship Wrestling with the Insane Clown Posse.

 

More importantly, Vince Russo is a husband of 42 years, a father of three children and a grandfather of 2.

 

Mr. Russo comes on the podcast to discuss his wrestling career, the ups and downs, writing wrestling for TV, his new stint with JCW and more importantly, putting family first.
