Vince Russo is a former writer for both WWE and WCW. Russo later also had a role in creative at TNA Wrestling.

In a recent interview with The Hannibal TV on YouTube, Vince Russo was asked about Tank Abbott’s run in WCW. The former WWE writer revealed how his plans for Abbott had cost him his job in the promotion:

Tank Abbott had a short run in WCW

Tank Abbott made a name for himself as an MMA fighter in the early days of UFC, also making a cameo on an episode of Friends. Abbot also had a brief run in WCW in 1999-2000.

WCW are said to have had big plans for Abbott initially, but these were shelved after Russo left. Tank Abbott ended up in a storyline with 3 Count. Abbott wanted to join 3 Count and later started a feud with them after he wasn’t allowed to join the group.
