Thanks to PWTorch.com for the quotes.
TNA writer Vince Russo appeared on the "Right After Wrestling" radio show on Sirius last night and here are a few highlights from the interview:
"The key is try to write the type of show that the masses are going to watch. By the masses, I mean men, women, children of all age groups," Russo said. "The key is to have a little something for everybody that has comedy, drama, romance, or action. If you can have a part of your show that everybody likes, then that is the key."
Russo also tried to present an argument that a straight "wrestling show" does not appeal to the masses compared to his philosophy of a variety show.
"Starting about 2000, 2001, it went back to 'wrestling' and there's nothing wrong with 'wrestling,' but the problem with that is that if you're going to write strictly a wrestling show, then your audience is a lot smaller because the fanbase for a traditional wrestling show is a lot smaller than a mass audience," Russo said. "So, to me, I don't think anything has changed. I think the key is to get as many eyeballs to watch your show."
