The former WWE star reveals why Vince Russo had one of the toughest jobs in the world
Ken Anderson noted that being a professional wrestling writer was one of the most challenging jobs ever, as talent needed to be provided with content for almost 52 weeks a year.
The former Mr. Kennedy added that he had a great time being a co-worker with Vince Russo and was appreciative of his creative inputs.
