Vince Russo has posted a new blog commenting on Ric Flairās recent remarks that he believed WCW was dead long before Russo got there.
Below is an excerpt:
"It was only recently that Ric Flair went on that same talk show in the UK and was asked the question, āDid Vince Russo kill WCW.ā Truthfully, I had no idea this interview even took place, until somebody told me about it on twitter. When told that I should look at the video and see āwhat Flair saidā, I about threw up in my Taxi wastepaper basket. In my heart, of hearts, I knew, that if the iconic Ric Flair feel into the trap of placing the smoking gun in my hand, whether it was the truth, or notāthis would be the final vindication that all my haters needed, to just put me in the hole and throw the dirt on top. In their minds, if FLAIR said it, then it must be true.
So Ric was asked the same question I wasāin the same exact studio I wasāonly a few short months later. In putting in my ear buds I was expecting the worst. In my business you just āassumeā that everybody is going to pile on when it is the sheik thing to do. But on this day . . . Ric Flair didnāt buy in. Flair quickly put the kibosh on the interviewers question when he said that WCW was dead ālong before Russo got thereā, and all he, Russo, was trying to do was āsurviveā like the rest of us."
