Russo doesn't/cant understand Roddys point. Russo was never qualified to be the head writer in the fist place and cant/refuses to admit it. Russo being the head writer and not being qualified hurt many many people and brought down the Wrestling business. In reality its McMahons fault not Russos. Russo did the best he could coming from being a fan and not taking the business seriously.
have it on vinyl brought it when it came out all these years ago! still sounds great today, one of the records i always return to every few years and it always sounds fresh 🔥😀
Jake is exaggerating so much during this interview. #1: Albert never had a 26' foot retic that weighted 375lbs. #2: As of this VERY second, there's no snakes over 25' in the US and none at that weight. Even notorious power feeder - retic breeders like Jay @ Prehistoric Pets don't have snakes that size. Source: Ask anyone in the industry
2 of my favorites. As McMahon brought in new talent I started resenting them in the gimmick days. Jake the Snake was a different story. I liked him instantly. I would even get upset when when the WWF stars in the territory when I started watching would lose to new guys. Jake was different, even as a heel I just liked him. Roddy was the top heel when I started watching WWF and I was never a fan of him as a wrestler. However after Kayfabe died and I saw him in interviews I ended up loving piper for the man he is (no homo). Great podcast host and guest.
