During a recent episode of Legion of RAW on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, Vince Russo said the powers that be were ripping off WWE fans for selling RAW tickets at exorbitant prices before mentioning Vince McMahon and his approach to setting ticket prices.
"It's not even WWE greedy; it's TKO greedy, it's Endeavor greedy, and it's Ari Emanuel greedy. I do not believe if Vince McMahon were in place, you would be paying these prices for tickets. I do not believe that because I swear I can tell you one thing: working for Vince McMahon, Vince really did care about the fans and the fanbase, and Vince was not looking to rip off his fanbase. So it goes beyond the WWE, man. It's TKO, it's Endeavor, it's Ari Emanuel. It goes above and beyond the WWE." [From 10:59 onwards]

About the author
Manik Aftab
Manik Aftab writes Exclusive articles for Sportskeeda Wrestling’s WWE division. A BA (Hons) in English Literature helped him improve his writing skills before starting his career as a pro wrestling writer.
Before joining Sportskeeda, Aftab worked for Ringside News and The Sportster, where his wrestling articles and feature pieces consistently ranked on the first page of Google SERPs.
He prioritizes accuracy, relevance, and ethics in his reporting by conducting thorough research, verifying sources, and adhering to professional journalistic standards.
While Aftab’s favorite wrestler in AEW is Hangman Adam Page, he doesn’t have a favorite in WWE yet. However, he considers Stone Cold Steve Austin to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time. His earliest memory of watching pro wrestling was when The Rock faced The New Age Outlaws in a handicap match, but it was the John Cena vs. Edge match from Unforgiven 2006 that got him hooked. If given the chance to manage a star from the Attitude Era, he would choose The British Bulldog, as he believes Davey Boy Smith was a terrific worker and could've benefitted from having a mouthpiece for his lack of mic skills.
When not watching pro wrestling, Aftab enjoys reading science fiction and watching anime.
