WWE WrestleMania 41 is almost upon us. The Showcase of the Immortals will go down on April 19 and 20 in Las Vegas. The company has already confirmed a couple of matches for the show.

During a recent episode of BroDown on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, Vince Russo was asked whether the company should bring him back as a writer and how the company should book storylines after WWE WrestleMania.

"No, absolutely not. You know what they need to do? They need to freaking blow it up and start over and start from scratch. And you know what? Maybe they need to go back and watch the Attitude Era, Mac, and remember what brought them to the dance. What was the formula where we were able to get all these new viewers that never watched wrestling before? Maybe we need to go study those tapes and get back to the absolute basics of what we did back then." [From 25:39 onwards]

Elsewhere on the podcast, Russo pointed out a major error from the Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton promo segment on SmackDown before praising Drew McIntyre for how he handled the London fans.

Speaking of Rhodes, The American Nightmare will once again confront John Cena next week in London before they take on each other at WWE WrestleMania for the Undisputed WWE Title.

About the author

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.
