Ex-WWE writer Vince Russo claims he's been offered a return to pro wrestling, considers comeback
Vince Russo , former head writer for WWE , WCW , and TNA , has hinted at a possible return to the pro wrestling world after years of distance from the industry. In a recent interview on Wrestling's Writing With Russo , the 64-year-old revealed that he's been approached by a long-standing promotion with a tempting offer to join their team. While Russo is reluctant, stating that he's doing everything to resist the pull, he acknowledged that the people behind the offer have always treated him well. Speaking on Wrestling's Writing With Russo, the 64-year-old discussed the offer and his hesitations. 'There's an organization out there, not a mainstream organization, but we would know who it is. They've actually been running for 25 years. They're trying to pull me back in, and I'm doing everything to say, 'No, no, no, no,' and they keep trying,' Russo explained. Though reluctant, Russo did admit that his relationship with the people involved could make the decision harder. 'I like the people, and I've known them for practically that long, and they've always been good to me. If I could help them in any way… but, bro, just thinking about it,' he continued, suggesting that the emotional connection could be a factor in his consideration. Russo is best known for his groundbreaking role in WWE during the late 1990s, where he was a driving force behind the edgy, boundary-pushing storylines of the Attitude Era. His tenure helped WWE dominate the Monday Night Wars, taking RAW to new heights in ratings. However, Russo's creative direction also led to controversy, especially during his time in WCW, where he made headlines by booking himself as WCW World Heavyweight Champion in 2000. His time with TNA (now Impact Wrestling) was similarly mixed, with moments of praise and criticism over his often chaotic booking. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas in Dubai | Search Ads Get Deals Undo Despite his storied career, Russo has distanced himself from the wrestling business in recent years, citing frustration with the current creative direction of major promotions. He admitted that he hasn't watched AEW since 2021 and plans to stop watching WWE altogether once he turns 65. 'You know how, Chris, something just really sounds great on paper, but then you start thinking of the reality. Okay, what is this really going to look like?' Russo said. 'It's really, bro, honestly, the worst thing for me at my age… I just hate traveling. I just absolutely hate getting on a plane and going anywhere. I hate it.' The 2021 offer to consult with WWE also ended abruptly after a 'sad and unfortunate' email exchange with Vince McMahon , leaving Russo even more disillusioned with the business. Despite his reluctance, the recent offer from the mystery promotion may just pull him back into the world he helped shape. While it's uncertain whether Russo will ultimately decide to return to the business, his willingness to even entertain the idea shows that he still has ties to the industry and a lingering passion for wrestling's creative side. 'If I could help them in any way…' Russo said, hinting that his return may not be completely out of the question after all.
