"You will never see stuff like that again" - Vince Russo showers massive praise on top WWE match (Exclusive)

Vince Russo has opened up about Steve Austin and Bret Hart's clash at WWE WrestleMania 13.

While responding to a question about the match's impact on the business, Russo agreed that it was amongst the greatest in WrestleMania history due to the talents involved and WWE's near-perfect booking.

On this week's Legion of RAW, the former WWE writer reserved special praise for the mastermind behind the match, Pat Patterson. He noted how the late, great WWE Hall of Famer helped put together one of the most excellent wrestling matches ever seen at the Grandest Stage of Them All.

The WrestleMania 13 classic resulted from the collective contribution of three wrestling geniuses, and Vince Russo felt that the match could never be replicated.

Here's what he had to say about the unforgettable match:

"Just brilliant booking, man. Pat Patterson at his best. How you had two characters absolutely flip flop roles during the course of a wrestling match. Nobody could do that," stated Vince Russo. "Nobody could do that. When you've got a Bret and an Austin and a Pat Patterson. You will never see stuff like that again, guys. You will never see it again. You'll just never see it again!"
