Vince Russo was a regular guest on WCW Live throughout his run in the company in 2000, making headlines with every interview with Russo as unfiltered as usual. WCW Live hosted by Bob Ryder and Jeremy Borash was years ahead of its time in terms of a live online audio show and was one of the most listened to shows on the internet for any genre at the time, I cut some of the highlights of Russo`s appearances which includes everything from backstage shoot comments and bits on the creative process/on screen product of WCW & WWF to live commentary & reviews while the shows were happening in real time.
