Pro wrestling veteran Vince Russo calls out Vince McMahon for being sexist in a recent podcast. He said that the women were in a tough position in the company back then under the former WWE CEO. Russo revealed this in the latest episode of The Wrestling Outlaws podcast, along with former WWE superstar EC3 and host Chris Featherstone.

Vince Russo revealed that women in WWE had it ‘tough’ under Vince McMahon. He further added that no matter how the company treated women, there would always be a place for them. Russo believes that from Dana Brooke to Natalya, all women in the WWE had a tough time under Mr. McMahon. The three men recalled some of the worst gimmicks in pro-wrestling history in the podcast.

Vince Russo was one of the top writers in WWE during the attitude era. In the late 1990s, his clever writing approach helped the company rise dramatically in popularity. In the podcast, the three men discussed some of the worst gimmicks in pro wrestling, and Russo made some shocking claims.

The 62-year-old stated that some of these gimmicks that were wrongfully attributed to him were originally creations of Vince McMahon. Russo revealed that when Sable was drawing in views for WWE, McMahon made controversial decisions in her booking to ‘knock her down a few pegs.’

Former WWE star EC3 also shed light on Natalya’s farting gimmick in the company. It was also another example of a controversial Vince McMahon decision. The three men discussed a wide variety of things during the recent podcast.

Vince McMahon’s update on spinal surgery

Vince McMahon underwent spinal surgery on his back last month. He is currently away from all his duties and responsibilities in WWE. The 77-year-old still used to do heavy lifting, which might be a probable cause of his injury. Squats were among the heavy lifting exercises, which eventually wore down the hips and back.

Some people believe that the injury was because of a neck injury McMahon had back in the 1990s. The WWE Executive Chairman apparently had hip problems as well, and he didn’t get a hip replacement because it would mean giving up big squats. When Mick Foley had his hips replaced several years ago, McMahon encouraged him not to do it because of the squat issue.

According to Wrestling Inc., Vince McMahon’s recent spine surgery lasted four to five hours and was called “life-altering.” He has been going through a hectic year. Mr. McMahon officially rejoined WWE in January after initially leaving the company in July 2022 due to allegations of a hush money scandal.
