Former WWE writer Vince Russo believes he would not have any life if he were still part of the company. Russo worked with the global juggernaut as a writer during the Attitude Era.

While Vince Russo was initially hired as a freelance writer for the WWF Magazine, he was called upon by Vince McMahon to make changes to TV Programming following WWE's declining ratings. The veteran soon became the head writer for the company and led them into one of the most successful eras. However, his time with the Stamford-based promotion came to an end in a few years.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, Vince Russo speculated what could have happened if he were still a part of the sports entertainment juggernaut. The veteran noted that maybe he would have been the boss, but he would not have had any life.

"I wouldn’t have one. [Life; if he had never left WWE]. I literally would not have one. I might be the boss, who knows? I gave Vince [McMahon] 5 years of my life, that was enough." [40:31 onwards]
