Vince Russo WWE

Russo later returned to WWE in June 2002 as a consultant to oversee both Raw and Smackdown’s creative direction, but left quickly after two weeks, saying there was “no way in the world that this thing would work out.” After feeling disrespected by a phone call with Stephanie McMahon, Russo then left on his own (turning down a $125,000 per year stay-at-home ‘advisory’ job with WWE in favor of a full-time position with TNA at $100,000 per year). The key idea for the plot he proposed was a complete revival of the WCW Invasion, featuring previously unknown talent such as Bill Goldberg, Scott Steiner, Eric Bischoff, and Bret Hart.

Vince Russo Books

Russo is also a blogger. He wrote Forgiven: One Man’s Journey from Self-Glorification to Sanctification, his autobiography (released on 29 November 2005) documenting his early life, his WWF run, and his Christian faith.[ The book was written in 2000, originally entitled Welcome To Bizarroland, and was a book that negatively portrayed people in the wrestling business.

The title and content of the book were revised to correspond with his newly found faith after being a born again Christian. Russo’s second book, Rope Opera: How WCW Killed Vince Russo was released on March 1, 2010, and his tenure with WCW and TNA is chronicled. The title Rope Opera stems from the title of an idea of a television series that he pitched on networks during his WWF tenure.
