WWE Legend is not a good fit for AEW, says Vince Russo (Exclusive)

Vince Russo had some interesting things to say this week
Vince Russo is the former head writer of WWE

While AEW has one of the best rosters in the pro-wrestling industry, a particular WWE legend will not be a good addition, according to Vince Russo.

The legend in question is none other than Goldberg, who has recently been a hot topic due to rumors of him potentially signing with AEW. Goldberg has recently made it clear that he will not be joining the Jacksonville-based promotion. However, he also stated that he had various talks with Tony Khan before coming to his decision.

Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Outlaws, Vince Russo expressed his thoughts on the matter. He stated:

"I think it's more campy than cheesy. I think that's what he was kind of looking for. AEW is not for Bill Goldberg, which bro, how could Tony Khan not understand? That is not a Bill Goldberg audience... He has built this audience, he caters to this audience. He caters to this audience, it's all about this audience, but yet he is gonna talk to Bill Goldberg about coming in? They would boo Bill Goldberg out of the building. And that just blows my mind that Tony Khan does not understand what his own company is bro." [From 02:05 onwards]

EC3 believes the WWE legend could be a great heel in AEW

While Vince Russo thinks Goldberg will be booed if he joins AEW, EC3 believes this may work out in the WWE legend's favor.

On the same episode of The Wrestling Outlaws, EC3 explained how Goldberg could be presented as a heel to elevate the next generation of babyfaces.

"That would be good business though, because they have created a monster heel. I mean if you got any sense, I would employ people that are not fit for the mold for the niche, so they get booed, so I have bad guys. And then I can make good guys chase them. And eventually they have a climactic fight where the good guy wins and everybody is happy. Repeat the cycle." [From 02:42 onwards]

As of now, only time will tell whether the WWE legend will ever change his mind.
