It was never going to work - Wrestling veteran claims that Vince McMahon was never going to be able to control WWE Hall of Famer Exclusive

Vince Russo has claimed that Vince McMahon was never going to be able to 'control' a Hall of Famer Vince Russo has admitted that was never going to be able to 'control' r, The Ultimate Warrior, during his time as an active competitor. Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's latest edition of The Wrestling Outlaws, the former WWE writer discussed how important 's branding was to him. Hence, McMahon was never going to be able to get a grip on him as much as he did with the majority of the roster back in the day. "You know Brian, here's what I think was the problem with Warrior. This was a guy that Vince was never going to be able to control, never. Vince was not going to be able to call Warrior into an office and say 'You're going to do A, B, C, and D'. He wasn't that guy. He officially changed his name into Warrior, his branding was everything to him, so Vince could not control him the way he could control ninety five percent of the roster. It was never going to work bro," said Russo. [2:25-3:19] Watch the latest edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's The Wrestling Outlaws below:

I've said this before, I knew his wife better than I knew him and I didn't mean that in any salacious way. We worked together on the creative team, you know what I mean? And that was after he passed, so I actually knew her and her daughters better than I knew him."
