10 former WWE writers you should know about

How did the star of *She’s All That* become a WWE writer?

#7 Vince Russo

Vince Russo was an important figure in the Attitude Era

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. Starting out as a journalism student and video store owner, Russo worked his way from a writer on WWF Magazine to an editor to a writer for the WWF itself to… well... you know where it went from there.

After being one of the driving minds behind WWF’s Attitude Era, Russo left for WCW when the company offered him the chance to run the company his way - instead of through the filter of Vince McMahon.

These days, Russo runs his own podcast and website and comments on the wrestling business of today - although his main product seems to be yelling at Jim Cornette.

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!"
