PW Insider’s Mike Johnson also recently praised Samoa Joe’s promo work of late. Russo points out he was right next to Joe when he was cutting promos in TNA, and he was cutting all the same promos then as he is now. Lane wonders why the dirt sheet writers seem to love Joe so much, and Russo points out that Joe talks to them all the time and makes them feel like they’re important. He adds that those writers don’t understand when they’re getting worked.

In addition to his criticism of Sting, Wade Keller appears to have something against Bobby Roode. Keller tweeted out recently that Roode would fail WWE’s wellness test “if it was worth anything”. Russo is blown away by that statement, pointing out that he worked with Roode and he considers Roode to be the ultimate professional and gentleman. He adds that Roode has had the same body since the first day he met him because he takes care of himself.
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 tomorrow for another recap!
