Vince Russo Slams WWE Booking of Solo Sikoa & MFT, Calls WWE ‘Amateur Hour’

During a recent of Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Brodown, former WWE and WCW writer Vince Russo complained about WWE’s booking of Solo Sikoa and MFT, noting that WWE is wasting time with the group. He also ranted about WWE lacking true pros and continuing to look like “amateur hour.” Below are some highlights (via Sportskeeda and eWrestlingNews):

Vince Russo on how WWE is wasting time with Solo Sikoa and MFT: “Here’s what they’re gonna do with that. This is buying them time now. This is gonna buy them five or six weeks. Every week, he’s gonna highlight a different guy in the group. He did it last week, and he did it this week. Fine. But you and I know damn well what’s gonna happen. We’re gonna go through every guy in the group. Now we’re gonna bring them back, and they’re gonna lose on week one. We’ve seen it a million times. If you’re doing this and these guys come back with a new attitude and they’re gonna dominate, that’s fine. But they ain’t gonna do that. So they’re wasting five weeks of our time, highlighting each person because as soon as they come back, they’re gonna get beat.”

On the name of the MFT stable: “Mac, I wish I didn’t. I wish I still didn’t know what MFT stands for. That is horrible. What do I have here? The Motor City Machine Guns vs. Mateo and Big Dude. I don’t know his name. I still don’t know this dude’s name. It’s literally been four weeks. I don’t know his name.”

Russo on WWE lacking true pros and looking like amateur hour: “I say that all the time. But one of my biggest pet peeves with wrestling—and I’m not going to say wrestling, I’m going to say WWE because I don’t watch AEW—one of my biggest pet peeves with WWE is when I watch this show, I’m not watching pros. I work with pros, I know what pros look like. I know how pros act. And I watch this show, and it’s amateur hour. I mean, it really is. You’re watching wrestlers that would never be on a roster in major sports. They wouldn’t be on an NFL roster, an NBA roster; they’d be in the minor leagues. And here they are. And not only are they on the roster, but they’re in the main event. Yes. And I get that feeling all the time. I am not watching pros. I am watching people that want to be professional wrestlers. But the WWE knows they can get away with it with the USA Network.”

“You’re never going to see a change in this product with the same people there. And then freaking Michael Hayes has the balls to say on Unreal that God gives them this. How dare you insult freaking God like that, Michael Hayes? If God is giving you this creative, bro, how freaking dare you insult God like that?”
