Vince Russo unhappy over AEW decision that could backfire horribly: "You got to be out of your mind" (Exclusive)
WCW veteran Vince Russo recently shared his thoughts on some brutal spots AEW pulled off at All Out. All Elite Wrestling presented their All Out Pay-Per-View from Chicago last weekend.
AEW All Out saw some of the most brutal matchups in the company's short history. From Jon Moxley suffocating Bryan Danielson with a plastic bag to Hangman Adam Page and Swerve Strickland pulling out all the stops and giving the fans one of the most disturbing Unsanctioned Steel Cage Matches, the show had it all. However, it received some mixed reviews from the audience.
In the recent edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's The Wrestling Outlaws, former WWE Head Writer Vince Russo slammed the Tony Khan-led promotion for taking huge risks and booking brutal spots at All Out. Russo claimed that it puts the company's negotiation with Warner Bros. Discovery in jeopardy.
"I don't know bro because the thing that stands out to me more than anything bro forget about the syringe and knife, Bro, you don't have a television contract yet. Why would you take this type of chance when all it would take would be one WBD (Warner Bros. Discovery) executive you know they all know what happened. They are all online on the internet. All it takes is for one of them to say, 'Do we really want to be in business with this company?'. That's the part I don't get Chris. The timing of this, you got to be out of your mind to take a chance like that." [From 22:25 to 23:20]

Eric Bischoff was not a fan of AEW All Out
Easy E never backs down from sharing his honest reviews about the AEW product and has once again slammed Tony Khan for the direction of the PPV in Chicago. On his 83 Weeks Podcast, Eric Bischoff called the show garbage and claimed that the company was trying to be desperate.
"It's just desperation. I don't....actually, I do get it. I'm just searching for a different way to say it. And its hard. I just think creatively, they're in a pit. And apparently the harder they are trying to dig out of it, the deeper the pit gets. This was garbage in my opinion," said Bischoff.
Meanwhile, AEW has been teasing a big angle with Jon Moxley's current storyline potentially leaning towards introducing a new authority figure. It will be interesting where the All Elite product goes from here.
