Former WWE head-writer Vince Russo took to Twitter to express his displeasure with former WWE Women’s champion Sasha Banks’ promo on last night’s episode of Monday Night RAW, in which she talked about the evolution of women’s wrestling from ‘bra and panty matches’:
The GREAT women wrestlers before Sasha didn't book the bra-n-panties matches–Ed and I did to HELP WIN A WAR. A WAR that saved the company.

I'm a Sasha Banks fan, but I think she just slighted some GREAT female athletes who performed at top levels while drawing huge ratings.

Don't know what's worse-women trolls ripping me 4 admitting admiring beautiful female bodies, or man trolls ripping me for the same thing.
