Guest Jobber of the Week Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 All signs do indicate that Vince Russo is gone from NWA: TNA. Russo was the head booker up until recently. As reported earlier, Panda Energy has bought the majority interest in TNA, and Russo looks to have lost a power struggle with Jerry Jarrett for the promotion's head booker spot. New reports have it that Jarrett did offer Russo a spot with TNA as a secondary writer, but Russo was not willing to be involved with the product unless he had final say. The situation turned out to be very similar to Russo's power struggle during his final days in WCW.
Guest cynicalprofit Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 Happy days are here again. Hey Russo, remember last time you were a head writer, it was called WCW, see where they are now. Smartest thing NWA will ever do, other then making Low-Ki champ. Russo had 1, 1 good idea, Austin vs VKM, after that it was all pretty much somewhere between dog shit and the utter drizzeling shits.
Guest eirejmcmahon Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 Woo-hoo, maybe now we can FINALLY get the Dupps back.
Guest Vyce Posted November 2, 2002 Report Posted November 2, 2002 Woo-hoo, maybe now we can FINALLY get the Dupps back. Don't ruin the moment. I can put up with the random Jarrett insanity a lot more than I can put up with the random Russo idiocy. Frankly, I don't know what inspired anyone in this business to give this guy a second chance after the WCW debacle.
Guest Danny Posted November 2, 2002 Report Posted November 2, 2002 Vince Russo is the one that got the WWE out of its cartoonish characters and he's had great ideas that became a big success. Its ashame that Russo might get fired from nwa-tna.
EL DANDY~! Posted November 2, 2002 Report Posted November 2, 2002 So you are saying that everything Russo has ever done was like...the best? I'm not so sure about that, dood...
Guest Danny Posted November 2, 2002 Report Posted November 2, 2002 So you are saying that everything Russo has ever done was like...the best? I'm not so sure about that, dood... No, I think Russo is the reason WCW is dead. However, Russo created DX. I think Russo is a genious. Everybody makes poor descisions.
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Posted November 2, 2002 Report Posted November 2, 2002 Russo didn't create DX. He just knew that Hunter and Shawn were great friends and would produce some quality segments. DX was mostly Shawn and Hunter's idea, pal.
Guest Vyce Posted November 3, 2002 Report Posted November 3, 2002 Assuming Russo DID create DX, what does that make him? IMO, just a guy who ripped off WCW's nWo gimmick at the time. I really, really, REALLY don't understand the Russo apologists. I know some marks who harken back to the Crash TV days....anyone remember them? I do. Yeah, the storylines were.....well, I'll be nice and use the adjective "colorful"....but the wrestling SUCKED. I feel more confident with Jerry Jarrett holding the book.
