"I can't take him seriously" - Vince Russo isn't a fan of this WWE star (Exclusive)

WWE pulled the trigger on a controversial title change last Friday on SmackDown. The creative had #DIY, consisting of Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa, beat Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin) for the tag team titles in stunning fashion.

Speaking of Gargano, the Rebel Heart cut a pre-taped promo on SmackDown this week to explain why he turned on MCMG. Vince Russo was asked to share his thoughts on the video package during a recent edition of BroDown on Backstage Pass.

​

"I can't take him seriously. I just can't. I can't take it seriously," stated Russo. [From 19:44 onwards]

Elsewhere on the podcast, Russo agreed with Mac Davis that Ciampa looked and acted the part of a tough guy but said his tag team partner was lacking majorly when it came to selling believability.

​

"No, I buy Ciampa. He looks nuts. He acts nuts. I buy that. He's missing a few things. But Gargano, he should be cutting my lawn." [From 19:28 onwards]

WWE taped Gargano vs. Shelley as part of the tapings that will air next Friday. Click here to check out the spoiler result from the match. For more content from BroDown, subscribe to Backstage Pass.
