I want to come clean. People tell me I don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m talking about. When I start talking about the network, people actually think they know more about the network, and where the network stands pertaining to Raw and its audience and its numbers, than I do. Well, bro, I&#8217;m gonna break the news to you on this show. I&#8217;ve not said this publicly before from March, pre mania, bro. It was right before Mania in 2020 up until this past Mania in 2022. So basically, bro for two years, I was consulting for the USA Network, bro.. &#8220;<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\"\/>\n<section class=\"m-in-content-recommendation m-detail--in-content-recommendation h-isolated-styles mm-component-stack--is-body-item\" style=\"--title_size_a_font_size:18;--title_size_b_font_size:18;--title_size_c_font_size:18;\">\n<p><span>Scroll to Continue<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>&#8220;For two years, bro, the USA Network paid me very, very, very well. Now, if you want to know how this came about, let&#8217;s take a couple of steps back and I will explain this to you. I got in contact with the Vice President at the USA Network who was overseeing Raw, he knew who I was [and] called me back immediately.  And we had a long, long, long discussion.  And as the Vice President who oversaw Raw&#8230;so the first thing he did was he went directly to Vince McMahon&#8230;.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<p>&#8220;So for two years, two years, I was consulting weekly with the USA Network. For two years, I heard the number and the rating and the viewership and the return on the investment&#8230;Don&#8217;t tell me I don&#8217;t know what the f**k I&#8217;m talking about. When it comes to numbers, when it comes to networks. I don&#8217;t care if it&#8217;s if it&#8217;s 1999 or 2020. I know where they stand. I know what they&#8217;re looking for. I know what&#8217;s acceptable and unacceptable because I had communication with them for two straight years. So don&#8217;t tell me I don&#8217;t know what the f**k I&#8217;m talking about bro when I am working directly with the network that WWE Raw is on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<p>In 2021, Russo stated, &#8220;After knowing Vince McMahon for 30 years &#038; having great success w\/him during my time at WWE\u2013yesterday he &#038; I had our FINAL EXCHANGE. It&#8217;s an unfortunate story &#038; sad in many ways, but, Closure is good.&#8221;  Earlier this year, Russo claimed that Vince McMahon asked for his thoughts on the WWE product.  Russo said he offered to work as a consultant for McMahon but he wasn&#8217;t going to do it for free.  Russo said the following in May 2022: &#8220;But I certainly was not gonna do that for free because the product is horrible.
