Veteran writer Vince Russo has long been a polarising figure, having been an influential part of both WCW and WWE during pivotal moments in their histories. On the other hand, Tony Khan, a prominent figure in the industry, has faced criticism despite a more favourable track record.
However, in a recent episode of “83 Weeks,” Eric Bischoff expressed his preference to work with Russo over Khan, shedding light on the dynamics of the wrestling industry.
The WWE Hall of Famer’s endorsement of Russo over Khan stems from his belief that working with Russo would offer a higher degree of success or potential for success.
Based on what I’ve seen and experienced thus far, I think working with Russo would have a higher degree of success or at least potential for success than working with [Tony Khan].
According to Bischoff, Russo possesses a fundamental understanding of storytelling and structure, which he deems crucial in the wrestling business. Conversely, Bischoff expressed scepticism about working with Khan, citing patterns he observed at AEW that seemingly hinder collaboration.
Acknowledging the challenge of working alongside Russo, Bischoff remains optimistic about the prospect, contrasting it with Khan’s apparent inflexibility in his approach to creative decisions.
Tony has one way of doing things, sees one thing in his head at any given moment, and that’s what’s going to happen. Regardless of any of the reasons why something else should be considered.
Despite criticism of Russo’s contributions to wrestling, Bischoff highlighted the success Russo has achieved in the industry, positioning him as a more viable option when compared to Khan.
