A former WCW champion has made it clear that he has no desire to work for WWE again because he values ​​his personal freedom. In a recent interview, famous writer Vince Russo said that he cannot function in a controlling environment.

Russo is considered one of the architects of WWEThe most popular phase of the Attitude Era, the late 90s. He wrote some of the era's most outlandish and enduring storylines that are still fresh in fans' memories. However, he left the company shortly after and later worked for WCW and TNA. Lately, Vince Russo has been highly critical of modern WWE programming.

In a recent interview with -7 SportsRusso was asked if he would return to the global juggernaut if offered a position on the creative team. The former WCW Champion explained that he had no interest in working somewhere where he would be denied the creative freedom to do things his way.

“It'll never happen, bro. It'll never happen, bro. I swear to God, bro, they could offer me millions of dollars. Because here's what we talked about earlier, bro. If you ever put Vince Russo in that system, bro, you're not going to control me. I'm not a robot. I'm not one of your NXT kids. I'm not in my 20s. I'm not going to line up. You’re not going to control me. And that’s what they want,” Russo said.

Vince Russo says WWE can't lure him with money

Elsewhere in the conversation, Russo mentioned that no amount of money was offered to convince him to work under stifling management. He added that he is a creative by heart and does not compromise on his freedom.

So, bro, that's why, for all the money in the world, I would never put myself in that situation because I would know that that's what they would want to do. And I'm a creative guy, bro. This won't happen. And I'm not going to kiss your ass. I'm not going to bow down. I'm not going to wait in line. If you suggest something that I think sucks, I'm going to tell you it sucks. And, bro, that would be the biggest nightmare in the world.

By the way, how critical is this? Vince Russo has been part of WWE programming in recent years, it is unlikely that the two parties will ever agree to work together.
