The former WWE, WCW, or TNA creative, Vince Russo, has confirmed this story in his weekly conversation with Dr. Chris Featherstone on the YouTube channel of the Sportskeeda portal. There was no candidate to win more than him. We knew it could be a great moment that marks an important point in history.
Russo has stressed that in Survivor Series they already had the idea in mind. ” Vince told me we had to make an impact and we helped him, but he knew from Survivor Series in 1998 that he was going to win the Royal Rumble. But Vince seemed not on target to go to the main WrestleMania match.
The excreative has clarified that that was never the plan of Vince or the creatives because he did everything for the history between Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock that was forged over time and culminated in WrestleMania XV.
Sab íamos that Vince did not want to be in the main event because I do not Scatter symbol to give everything in a fight, but he did it to give us a great story from January to WrestleMania about how we were going to get Vince in this fight and take it to combat Austin and Rock, Russo explained.
