Former WWE writer Vince Russo says Juggalo Championship Wrestling has “comedy gold”

While speaking to Justin Barrasso of The Undisputed, former WWE writer Vince Russo commented on the creative process for Juggalo Championship Wrestling…

“We have comedy gold in JCW. I go all the way back–my favorite sitcom to this day is The Honeymooners, but I can go back to the Odd Couple and Taxi and Everybody Loves Raymond and King of Queens and Seinfeld, I love comedy. The problem you have in professional wrestling is you really don’t have legitimate writers.

A lot of people involved [on the writing side] in AEW and a lot of people involved in WWE, they’re wrestlers. Triple H is a wrestler. [Michael] Hayes is a wrestler. And a lot of times, wrestlers don’t know how to write comedy. So what you get is corny. Comedy in wrestling has been corny for decades. Look at what they just did with the gingerbread man, that was corny. Danhausen and his clones? Corny. I love good sitcom comedy based on dialogue. You’ve got to be a trained writer to know how to write that.”
