Vince Russo Asserts On-Air Superiority Over WCW Roster, Draws Response from Shane Helms

In the third episode of the documentary “Who Killed WCW?”, former writer Vince Russo asserted that he was “better than 80% of that roster” as an on-air character. He recounted his decision to become a television personality, stating, “I made the mistake of saying ‘You know what? ‘F it, if you want ratings, I will go out there and get ratings myself.'”

Russo’s comments sparked a conversation with former WCW star Shane Helms on X (formerly Twitter). Helms expressed skepticism, to which Russo responded, “I’ll let the heat I got speak for itself.” Helms countered, emphasizing the importance of revenue generation, and the two briefly discussed booking strategies.
