Vince Russo shares his honest thoughts on working with Goldberg
Wrestling veteran and former WCW creative head Vince Russo recently shared his experience working with the WWE Hall of Famer.
Speaking on the Legion of RAW podcast with Dr. Chris Featherstone, Vince Russo named Goldberg as the star who never made it easy for Russo as a writer. The former WWE head writer claimed that he believed his own hype a little too much.
"The worst pain, bro for me, was just probably Goldberg. I think it was because he just believed his own hype a little bit too much. He wouldn't reject ideas bro, but he never made it easy for me. He's just one of the guys that never made it easy." (56:59 - 57:27)
He further revealed that the former Universal Champion would openly state that he didn't like the ideas presented to him. Russo also noted that no matter the number of people he had worked with, there would always be some who were not going to be easy.
"You just felt that he didn't like it. You know what I mean, bro? Listen man, in my job, I worked with thousands of individuals. Not everyone is going to be easy. People are different, we're all different bro. There are going to be some challenges." (57:40 - 58:04)
