In sad news, former wrestling booker and on-screen talent Vince Russo has announced on social media platform X that he has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. For those unaware, this is when someone has high blood sugar levels due to their body not making enough of a hormone called insulin, and it can have serious consequences such as heart attacks, strokes, and lost limbs. At present, there is no outright cure for the condition, but some people can put their diabetes into remission, which Russo will be hoping to do.
63-year-old Russo has been a very polarizing figure in the world of pro wrestling for almost three decades, with some fans considering him the man responsible for WWE’s success during the Attitude Era, while others believe he was just fortunate to be in a creative spot when Steve Austin, The Rock, and Mankind became massive stars. Many also blame him for the downfall of both WCW and TNA, whom he also worked for after departing WWE. However, in recent years, he has focused his time building up RussosBrand.com, which features him and guests covering the current state of the business.
