Douglas knows both men well and so has a unique perspective on the feud: "I have read it the same way as everybody else online obviously and if I was on the outside and didn't know better - I'd say this is a work. But I know these two and I know it couldn't possibly be because if you say Vince Russo's name around Cornette it is like the old Three Stooges bit: ‘And slowly I turn step by step…’ Corny is incredibly well versed on our business-It is crazy the amount of stuff he knows about our business-and I love him to death but he can get himself pretty revved up and these two have been going at each other for years. I understand Jim's-feelings on Vince Russo and I've spoken to Vince and he has had written in the past things I didn't personally agree with or like. The Viagra on a pole match? I know Vince as a person also and I've always got a long very well with him personally. For me it just seems to be an outlandish idea with an order of protection and application to the court. It is something that is a bit over the top and I think in the professional wrestling business and I am guessing that is what Vince Russo thought it would be seen as. Something that was over the top and finger in the eye type of ha-ha and I could clearly see where Jim Cornette being served official documents one could take it and run with it.-I can't speak for why Vince did it other than I do come down the side that it is –a rasslin' angle as opposed to putting a legitimate protection of abuse order on Jim Cornette."
