Russo comments on the recent criticism he has received from Eric Bischoff and Jim Cornette. He says that there’s an open invitation to both of them to come on this show and discuss their issues, but he knows that neither of them are man enough to accept that offer.
Bischoff sent out a tweet this week calling Russo a con man, and Russo says if he conned anyone it must have been the 8 million people who were watching RAW every Monday night. That comment doesn’t even bother him because it’s an asinine comment.
Russo says the biggest con of all time is when Bischoff weaseled his way into TNA on the coattails of Hulk Hogan. Dixie Carter wanted to bring in Hogan but Bischoff wasn’t going to allow that to happen without finding a way to get himself involved as well. Russo says if he was Dixie Carter he would have told both of them to go ‘scratch their ass’.
He says that Bischoff had one good idea during his entire career (NWO), and somehow he even managed to ruin that and drive it into the ground until he got fired.
