[
Vince Russo has recently stirred up controversy on Twitter as he unabashedly critiques CM Punk, Triple H, and WWE’s creative direction.
While introducing the new JCW Lunacy Heavyweight Title, Russo took shots at both Punk and Triple H, quickly garnering attention. He claimed he would outshine Punk as a champion and emphasized that he didn’t need to wrestle in a t-shirt, stating, “I’m not 50 years old.” He also criticized Triple H for bringing Matt Cardona to WWE, which he believes led to JCW losing its top title. However, this was just the tip of the iceberg.
On January 30, 2026, Russo took to Twitter to respond to the backlash his remarks created, clearly unfiltered. Embracing his Vic Venom persona, he addressed critics who suggested he was simply bitter about WWE not hiring him back.
“FN Marks, all the people from F’N BRAIN DEAD who still say ‘Vince Russo sucks because @WWE won’t hire him.'”
He didn’t stop there and went on to tactically critique WWE’s current creative efforts, referring to their recent show.
“Watch me open last night’s episode of @jcwlunacy and click on that Dreadin’, Suck-the-Life out of you, Political Cesspool, Dreary, Depressing, I Wanna Take My Own Life, Get the White Boards, ‘Creative Meeting’ highlighted on @WWE’s ‘Unreal’ and then tell me again how hard it is to not be in that F’N ‘ROOM OF DEATH.’ “
“Brother, speaking of my late mother, I would rather cut off a ball with a dull hacksaw than have to sit in that ‘black hole of incompetence’ for nine seconds.”
“So, as the great Vic Venom would say…’bite me.’
Russo shows no signs of backing down; instead, he seems to be amplifying his stance against WWE while promoting JCW. A new JCW Lunacy Champion will be crowned next week in a match between James Storm and Mr. Anderson, and all eyes are on Russo to see how deeply he will engage in this verbal battle.
