While talking about the segment in which Lana got sent through the table for the seventh time this week, Russo also spoke about WWE’s apparent pettiness when dealing with certain Superstars and their actions.

Vince Russo reminisced when the late great Big Van Vader was arrested in Kuwait in 1997 after an interview went awry.

Russo recalled that a scared Vader repeatedly tried calling Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard. However, both McMahon and Prichard didn’t pick up Vader’s calls, and the WWE executives even laughed over the incident.

Vince Russo also admitted that Vader’s demise in the WWE had a lot to do with what happened in the Middle East. Here’s what Russo and Featherstone discussed during Legion of RAW:

Vince Russo on Vader not washing his in-ring gear

Many fans might already know about this, but Russo also revealed that Vader never washed his in-ring gear. According to Russo, Vader smelled like puke, and it didn’t help the former WCW Champion’s situation. Russo did add that Vader was one of the nicest people in the world and a genuine sweetheart.

As noted above, Vince Russo was at his unfiltered best as he shared his thoughts about RAW, including Alexa Bliss and The Fiend’s segment, Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre, AJ Styles’ promo, and more.
