Russo also recalled the exact conversation that he had with Vince McMahon after he agreed to work for WWE’s main rival. “Bro, Vince was expecting me at The Meadowlands on Monday. I had to call and say, ‘Bro, I ain’t coming to work tomorrow. I signed with WCW.’ So, bro, I called him and I’ll never forget this, Chris, he thought it was a rib, and I’m like, ‘No, bro, I’m not gonna be there tomorrow. I’m working for WCW.’”
