Russo couldn’t believe how many “marks” were in the crowd in Philadelphia for the Royal Rumble, RAW and Smackdown this past week. If he was still booking for WWE, he’d have John Cena or Roman Reigns start a gimmick where they just rip on the crowd each week, making fun of people’s appearance. He points out that those fans will keep coming back anyways because they’re marks.
Dave Melzter sent out a tweet this weekend, saying he watched 14 hours of wrestling on Saturday, but at least it was all good. Russo can’t imagine watching 14 hours of anything, especially wrestling. He goes on to say that Meltzer is a mark because he’s neglecting his family to watch wrestling all day long, when he has employees that he can pay to do this.
He thinks Meltzer should be more concerned with taking care of his family than watching wrestling, because it’s not normal to be acting like this at 60 years old.
Meltzer’s colleague, Bryan Alvarez tweeted out Saturday night that the NXT Takeover show was so awesome that he almost shed a tear at the end of the main event between Cien Almas and Johnny Gargano. Russo can’t believe it, but these guys are actually admitting to crying over fake wrestling matches.
