Vince Russo opens up on Vince McMahon releasing several stars
Russo spoke to Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Dr. Chris Featherstone about the latest round of superstar releases. He said the likes of the former NXT Champions Karrion Kross and Keith Lee had nothing to lose by speaking up about their questionable character changes. He believes Vince can’t fire the stars as they are all independent contractors.
He said:
“While you are there and you are on TV, Karrion Kross has to say, ‘Lord Humungus sucks.’ Keith Lee has to say, ‘This sucks.’ They have to say it, bro, they have to say it, because eventually what’s gonna happen anyway, Chris? Exactly what happened today [releases]. Whether it’s six months down the road, a year down the road, because everybody’s so afraid of being ‘fired.’ Bro, there is no fired! They’re independent contractors! There’s no fired,” Vince Russo said.
