Vince Russo attended this past weekend’s Lucha Underground tapings.
There had been rumors that Russo was going to work for Lucha Underground but that’s not the case. The company held a meeting with top officials and told them that Russo was not going to be hired. There were some veterans who did not believe that Russo was not being hired but top company officials insisted he wasn’t being brought in.
Russo said he was there this weekend for one appearance and to produce podcast content but people backstage told The Wrestling Observer that Russo seemed like he wanted to get back into the business. Russo was treated very well while he was at the tapings but there was a feeling that he didn’t know Lucha Libre. Russo apparently made a suggestion that the show needs more female wrestlers and that suggestion wasn’t taken very well.
