When a fan tweeted Meltzer to ask if Hogan really didn’t know what the finish was going to be when he walked to the ring that night, Meltzer claimed to know about this finish in January of that year. Russo doesn’t understand why Meltzer would even make a claim like that when it’s clear from the documentary that Hogan didn’t know and Vince McMahon barely knew either given the unpredictable nature of Andre.
PWInsider’s Dave Shearer spoke out this week about Shane McMahon’s role in the tag match at WrestleMania. He said that Shane didn’t screw the match up which he certainly could of, and he took a beating which is rare for McMahon. Russo and Lane question whether Shearer has ever seen a Shane McMahon match because he often gets beaten up in his matches.
Lane plays another clip of Keller, who claimed to be texting back and forth with a WWE wrestler about the Charlotte/Asuka WrestleMania match. Keller said that there was concern backstage over Asuka’s streak ending, implying that they were worried about how that impacts their character’s eventual ability to succeed in the company. Russo says that is ridiculous, and it’s clear to him that Keller and these other guys aren’t living in the real world.
That sums up today’s episode of Vince Russo’s The Brand. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
