Vince Russo, former WWE, WCW & TNA creative writer, wrote a new blog on CSRWrestling.com. The blog is titled “Breaking News: Ronda Rousey Puts Up Her Career.”
It makes a point that he’s directing to TNA management. The following is a sample:
(LAS VEGAS, NV)—
In an unprecedented decision, Ronda Rousey has announced that she will be putting up her undefeated UFC career in a match against “Busty” Betty Beaver with the stipulation that if Beaver loses to her—Rousey inherits Betty’s moniker “Busty”.
“Ever since I was a child I always loved the nickname ‘Busty’”, explained Rousey. “Then when I broke into MMA I wanted to use it as a nickname, only to find out that Betty Beaver was already using it so it would have been considered gimmick infringement. So now, that I actually have the chance to take the name “Busty” from Beaver if I beat her in the cage—I’m all IN!”
The fight will be this Saturday night on Pay-Per-View for only $199.49.
ATTN JOHN GABURICK AND TNA WRITERS:
Do you see how utterly insane and stupid that press release reads? Does it sound and look familiar to you? Can you now understand why UFC Head Honcho Dana White referred to professional wrestling as FAKE? Where, outside of professional wrestling, would someone put their career on the line for the unique honor and privilege of being referred to as “Rockstar” Austin Aries? And, no, even though Aries believes his own self-proclaimed hype perhaps more than any other wrestler I’ve ever met, not even DOUBLE A would be stupid enough to do that!!!
Are you guys kidding me over there? Is this what you come up with in the TNA War Room when your backs are currently pushed so far up against the wall that you’re almost the WALLPAPER COVERING IT! Are you serious? Every one of you should be absolutely embarrassed and ashamed that you all actually talked each other into that being a good idea. That’s where the laziness in creative that I’ve been harping about comes in. Yeah, I’ve come up with bad ideas myself over the years, no doubt, but even my wife who’s watched about 25 minutes of wrestling in her life knew this was comical. Man, if that is the best you’ve got—I hate to think of your worse.
