10 former WWE writers you should know about

#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.
