On why he dislikes Vince Russo:
EB: When you orchestrate a lie and intentionally deceive, for me, that’s a different category. That’s the category Vince Russo’s in. I don’t hate Vince Russo, I don’t. I just don’t associate or give credibility to someone who has such a well documented history, not with me. All anyone has to do who isn’t drowning in their own purple Kool-Aid is to look at some of the comments from Viacom who would not even comment on content, programming and people involved. Go back and look at Doug Schwartz’ comments about Vince Russo. Vince Russo has got such a well documented history of, in my opinion, pathological bullshit that I just choose not to engage or associate.
