Vince Russo Comments on Sasha Banks’ ‘Pro-Women’ Promo on “Monday Night Raw”

Last night on “Monday Night Raw,” Sasha Banks made her return to the company, after being sidelined with an injury, and cut a promo about how she was the beginning of the evolution of women’s wrestling in WWE. She informed the world that she will challenge Charlotte in a rematch for the “Raw” Women’s Championship at “Clash of Champions” later this month.

Former WWE and WCW writer Vince Russo took to Twitter to respond to Banks’ promo, and did not completely agree with what “The Boss” had to say:

 

The GREAT women wrestlers before Sasha didn’t book the bra-n-panties matches–Ed and I did to HELP WIN A WAR. A WAR that saved the company.

I’m a Sasha Banks fan, but I think she just slighted some GREAT female athletes who performed at top levels while drawing huge ratings.

What a bunch of sexists PIGS. Guys can show off their bodies in short trunks, but women aren’t allowed to? Somebody call Sports Illustrated

The day I apologize for enjoying watching a women w/ a beautiful body-is the day I turn in my MAN CARD.Why do U think WOMEN watch wrestling?

Don’t know what’s worse-women trolls ripping me 4 admitting admiring beautiful female bodies, or man trolls ripping me for the same thing.

Editor’s Note:

I have friends who have worked with Russo in the past, and have told me that this is simply another one of his stunts to create controversy, and keep him relevant in the business. What Banks and the other members of the women’s division have done over the past year is nothing short of remarkable, and completely necessary for the success of the business. Anyone who says anything otherwise, and bashes the direction of the modern female professional wrestler is simply wrong.
