Rhea Ripley was mobbed by fans in Paris ahead of the Clash in Paris event, which many people felt was out of line. However, Vince Russo sees it differently, as he called out Rhea Ripley for complaining.

>“So my first question to her would be, what type of business did you think you were getting into? You got into the sports entertainment business to be a celebrity and make a lot of money. That comes with celebrity. If you want privacy, if you don’t want people hounding you or knowing who you are, then you’re probably in the wrong business. We’re talking about seven marks that wanted to take a selfie with Rhea Ripley.”

>“I’ll never forget when A Hard Day’s Night came out. I think it was ’64 or ’65. I was about four years old, saw it in the theater. I recommend Rhea Ripley go watch A Hard Day’s Night. That’s getting mobbed. Fifty thousand screaming women running at you, and you’re sprinting six feet from the hotel door to the limo for your life, while women are climbing over cops. That’s a swarm. Seven guys with cell phones? That’s not a swarm.”

>“First of all, why are you taking an Uber? There had to be at least 25 office people there. Ask someone from the office to pick you up. Why in God’s name are you taking an Uber in a foreign country? From an old-school perspective, wasn’t it just about sharing rides with fellow wrestlers? Either have someone from the office go with you, go with one of the male wrestlers, hire a bodyguard—you make enough money—or go to your company and say, ‘I don’t feel comfortable, I need security.’ She’s got four or five different options rather than cutting a promo on the fans that are paying her salary. And Chris, with all due respect, that was not a swarm. That was seven guys doing this. That’s what it was.”
