Now we’re getting to the names you were expecting. Like him or hate him, Vince Russo had a major impact on the current landscape of pro wrestling today.

About the author

Kevin Christopher Sullivan has been writing online professionally since 1999, which makes him probably older than you. He's written for sites such as Uproxx and Austin.com. He's also performed stand-up comedy, attended Butt-Numb-A-Thon and E3, and owns some pretty cool t-shirts. He lives outside of Austin, TX with his wife, daughter and four annoying cats. And, yes, he knows who he has the same name as.

When he's not watching and writing about wrestling, he's probably playing video games, advocating for mental health issues, or yelling at something in his house for not "working the way it's supposed do, dang it!"
