Vince Russo responded to a GIF of a match between WWE’s UK wrestlers that happened on NXT on Wednesday, saying that a top rope hurricanrana into a powerbomb would never happen in real life and that’s why only marks and kids watch wrestling anymore.

Yeah—THAT would happen if the match was real. Suspension of disbelief is forever gone in professional wrestling. And that's why all the casuals went bye-bye. Only the marks and the kids remain.

Pete Dunne responded:
If you're that worried about suspending disbelief you wouldn't tweet stuff like this. #Hypocrisy https://t.co/To2LKW71BU

You guys should’ve done something more realistic, like a Judy Bagwell on a Pole Match.

@PeteDunneYxB don’t let idiots trying to keep themselves relevant and who couldn’t even put a headlock on derail you on your journey. #fastTalkingLoudMouth. Yes you @THEVinceRusso

Because I'm a wrestling fan of 45 years and I have an opinion that equates to me being an idiot who's trying to stay relevant? No reason to insult me because your opinion differs from mine. EXACT reason WWE has lost all casual fans-this same kind of disrespect over their opinion.

I never told you my opinion. Why deflate young guys navigating their way through this business ?

Russo then posted some more:
Oh, man, the marks are out in full force because I said that today's ring acrobatics don't suspend disbelief because the moves look choreographed. Silly, silly me—just trying to stay relevant.
— Vince Russo (@THEVinceRusso) November 30, 2017
My opinion's always been based on attempting 2 save young wrestlers from serious injury so they can prolong their careers & make money in the business 4 as long as they possibly can. Wrestlers have a window. It's a work. BE SAFE. I'm done with it-whatever happens-I said my peace.

OK, DE MARX succeeded in giving me a headache so I'm saying bye-bye for now. @RussosBrand as "TRUE" wrestling fans, not fans of circus acrobats, keep fighting the good fight. Sooner, or later, they will wake-up . . . just hope it isn't too late. Love you all!!!
