Vince Russo: David Arquette war mehr over als Kevin Owens

[Nefercheperur]

Vince Russo mit einem Rant zu Kevin Owens Titlegewinn.

"Here is the payoff: Kevin Owens is now the hood ornament of your company. Do you want to drive around with Kevin Owens sitting at the hood of your car? I don’t. Basically bro, at the end of the day, this is what you have to do; it’s very simple: put Kevin Owens in the John Cena role. It’s that simple. We’re going to put Kevin Owens on Good Morning America, we’re going to put Kevin Owens in commercials, we’re going to put Kevin Owens in movies, we’re going to put Kevin Owens on the Kids Choice Awards, on MTV. It’s that simple. He’s the hood ornament of your company. Would I make Kevin Owens the hood ornament of my company? No, I would not! This is the wrestling BUSINESS. I don’t see Kevin Owens sitting next to Kelly Rippa. I don’t see that. If you disagree with me, I don’t care. It doesn’t matter to me. But, you’re replacing John Cena is what you are doing, which is preposterous. That is absolutely freaking ridiculous. Then I hear things like; oh, "says the guy who put the belt on David Arquette".

First of all, David Arquette was more over than Kevin Owens will ever be. Casual wrestling fans and casual wrestling viewers in general knew who David Arquette was. That’s first of all. Casual viewers have no idea who Kevin Owens is, and every time he comes out, literally they’re like, who is this guy? So, that comparison is ridiculous. Another thing I hear is; oh, says the guy who was going to put the belt on Tank Abbott. Well, I was going to put the belt on Tank Abbott because of the circumstances in the match, and oh by the way, Tank Abbott was a legitimate shoot fighter, and he knocked people out for a living and the way the story was written out made sense, so who knows, maybe he would of had the belt for a week. Also, understand that booking came from me being backed in the corner and everybody being hurt and something had to be done with the circumstances I was dealt with. Regardless, it doesn’t even matter, I look at the list this morning bro, here are guys that have never been the WWE Champion.

People want to know how far wrestling has fallen. We have Dean Ambrose as one champion, and Kevin Owens as the other. You want to know how far wrestling has fallen? Razor Ramon/Scott Hall was never a WWE Champion, Jake the Snake Roberts was never a WWE Champion, Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig was never a WWE Champion, King Kong Bundy was never a WWE Champion, Rowdy Roddy Piper was never a WWE Champion. I can go on and on and on; Kevin Owens is the WWE Universal Champion, and you’re going to look me in the eye, if you call yourself a wrestling fan and understand anything about wrestling, you are going to look me in the eye and tell me that the wrestling business is not at a rock bottom, and you’re going to sit there and tell me that the wrestling business doesn’t suck? When, so many people were over, that a Roddy Piper couldn’t even be a Champion? Or a Curt Hennig couldn’t be a WWE Champion?

You’re going to sit there and tell me how over wrestling is? Give me a F’N break, but for the record: I don’t give a crap if they put the belt on Heath Slater. If they put the belt on Heath Slater tomorrow, I don’t care. It’s not my company, it’s not going to affect my life. So, for you idiots that are tweeting me that actually think I actually care? Guys, please stop, because every time I get one of these tweets, I cannot fathom the person on the other end who the other person on the computer is. I cannot wrap my head around your level of stupidity, so I don’t know what you are accomplishing tweeting me that Kevin Owens is now the WWE Champion."

Die Aussage mit David Arquette der mehr over ist wie Kevin Owens ist natuerlich laecherlich, und zeigt auf wie er noch immer denkt, was ja den WCW Niedergang erheblich beschleunigte.

Und ja, ein Jake Roberts, Scott Hall, Curt Hennig oder Roddy Piper waeren heute mehrfache World Champions (das er King Kong Bundy nennt, liegt daran das er mit Bundy befreundet ist, Bundy selbst war nie World Title Material). Damals in den 80er und 90er Jahren war es absolut nachzuvollziehbar warum Roberts, Hall, Hennig oder Piper keine World Champions bei der WWF wurden, zum Teil noch nicht Mal Contender auf den World Title!

Heute haetten sie unzaehlige Title Matches bestritten und WWE World Title mehrfach gewonnen. Das liegt am Unterschied von der Qualitaet der Talente, der Rosterdichte an der Spitze, aber auch am unterschiedlichen Booking, das Title viel haeufiger wechseln, es mehr Title gibt, die Aufmerksamkeitsspanne kuerzer ist, und letztere Punkte hat Russo in der WCW und der WWF ja auch so gebookt…Wenn sich Russo auf die Argumente beschraenken wuerde, nicht den Vergleich mit seinem eigenen Booking ziehen wuerde, er haette einen Punkt…
