"He's trying to bring all his people" – Ex-WWE personality expresses concerns over Triple H bringing back released stars (Exclusive)
Former WWE writer Vince Russo feels Triple H is using his power as the head of creative to bring back his favorite stars.
Vince McMahon recently announced his retirement from the company. Meanwhile, WWE declared that The Game would resume his role as EVP, Talent Relations, and also head the creative services.
Speaking on this week's episode of Legion of RAW, Russo expressed his concern about the frequent returns of superstars from the erstwhile black-and-gold brand. The wrestling veteran detailed that if so many people returned simultaneously, no one would potentially get over with the fans.
Here's what Russo had to say:
He's trying to bring all his people in, all his NXT people in. But again bro, that's the first rule. You bring in so many people at once, nobody gets over there. (From 17:07 - 17:18)
Russo mentioned that the hardcore fans would be watching but questioned whether the product would be able to draw in new viewers.
"Those are the hardcore wrestling fans that are always going to watch wrestling. They watched for years and years and couldn't stand what Vince McMahon was doing. I'm not talking about those people. I'm talking about is this show going to bring new viewers and new eyeballs? That's what I'm talking about. The marks, the hardcore fans, as long as wrestling is on the marque, they're gonna watch the show." (From 17:40 - 18:03)

This return comes days after another released star, Karrion Kross, made his way to SmackDown last week. Kross announced his comeback with a vicious attack on Drew McIntyre and stared down the Undisputed Universal WWE Champion Roman Reigns.
