Big Vito (aka Vito LoGrasso) was known for his mob gimmick throughout his time in ECW, WCW, TNA and WWE. Vita worked alongside The Mamalukes, Da Baldies, and Full Blooded Italians during his career, often involved in mob-like stories.
Vito claims WWE came to him for help on "family" storylines, referring to the Tony D'Angelo Family. He also claims he would be brought down to Florida.
He then took aim at Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo for how he's changed up his look and doesn't give him the stamp of approval.
I’ve got an honest question for @TripleH. I’ve lived this lifestyle my whole life. I’ve been doing this gimmick since 1999. I’m still the Don in the squared circle, but this kid—who has publicly disrespected me—has stolen everything but the shoes on my feet. Your own people have reached out to me, asking for help with “family” storylines. Those ideas? Mine. Talent relations even called me, said I’d be “brought in” down in Florida. Yet here I am—a 35-year veteran—watching @WWE bury me while they rip off my gimmick wholesale.
And yes, I’ve got the receipts to back up everything I’m saying here. So tell me: are we really going to keep doing this? Keep embarrassing Italians with this nonsense? Keep disrespecting my 35 years in this business?
@Stacks_WWE I get it. Imitation is supposed to be the sincerest form of flattery. I’ve got a few old leather jackets if you need them, but I doubt you can pull off the bald look. Just remember: no matter who you put in the “costume,” they’ll always be living in my shadow until I give my stamp of approval.
