WWE NXT Diva Training Again, Vince Russo On Chainsaw Charlie (Video), Fans On Strongest WWE Star
- Kayfabe Commentaries has released their "Timeline: The History of WWE – 1998" DVD with Vince Russo. You can purchase the DVD or watch on-demand at this link. In the video above, Russo talks about Terry Funk coming to WWE as Chainsaw Charlie. Russo says Jim Ross, who wanted to bring Funk to WWE, wanted to put Funk in a box at ringside for the entire show, building to a reveal, because "anybody who comes out of a box is instantly over." Russo says Vince McMahon took that idea and we got Chainsaw Charlie. Russo also says he got the impression that there was more to it, perhaps some past heat on Funk.
