Vince Russo was interviewed in today's edition of The Miami Herald. Russo discusses that he feels the business, and the world as a whole needs to be cleaned up, while he admits he was among the most guilty of using shock value to create interest. "I think the challenge to me is the storylines,'' said Russo. ``I was guilty as anybody for the profanity and nudity -- probably the guiltiest. But now to me the challenge is the creative stories, the stories that make people think, real-life stories. Getting emotion in the show rather than just trying to shock people for the thrill of shocking them." Russo noted that he hasn't watched the WWE's product in over a year and the last time he spoke to Vince McMahon, he recommended McMahon hire Eric Bischoff. Russo also stated that he wants to move out of the Atlanta area (where he has resided since he jumped to WCW) and get out of the wrestling business in about a year. From what I understand, the current product is written by Jeff Jarrett and Dutch Mantell, although Russo gives his feedback when he arrives in Nashville and takes a look at the plans.
