Guest The Son of Sting Report post Posted April 26, 2003 The biggest story is the Russo has incresed in power and Jerry Jarret is out of the picture when it comes to writing.Those close to Jarret think he has pulled out to give Russo enough rope to hang himself.Internally most think Russo will end up with power because of Raven's influence over Dixie Carter. Malice was to return on last week's show but pulled out because he was sick. There are no plans to bring back Percy Pringle or Vader. Awsome suffered a concussion in his match with Saturn and collapsed backstage. Styles did the job to Gilberti prety much as a punishment for being negative about Russo's booking, in particular Lollipop getting her top ripped off.

Next thing you know, TNA will push for a Malice/Awesome program at the top of the card or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Raven_Effect01 Report post Posted April 26, 2003 Let's not get crazy now... Well, it usually isn't a good sign when an alternative to WWE starts doing the same bullshit WWE does, and it makes the chances of alternatives to WWE existing in a few years slimmer, which could hurt the wrestling industry and leave us TV viewers without any wrestling to watch.

Guest RedJed Report post Posted April 27, 2003 If Russo now has full control of the book, it should be interesting to see how the shows go in the weeks to come. Last weeks effort was ok, but I dont think there is any denying now that it reeked of Russo writing. The two shows previous to that seemed to work alot better for me than last weeks just because the character confusion got to me in that you dont know what roles certain people had.....wonder if that show last week was Russo's first shot in awhile at full control of the book? If so, I can understand more why I wasnt into some of the booking decisions, because they were almost a contradiction of the weeks past. I guess the story is that Russo threatened to walk out if some of his ideas kept getting overruled by others. So Jarrett is saying, "ok lets see what you can do on your own then, big man." I personally dont like Russo's train of thought that its his way or the highway, as I think its shown that if Jarrett and Russo work TOGETHER, it puts out the best overall product right now. He needs to be much more open to critisizm to say the least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest My Eyebrow is on fire Report post Posted April 27, 2003 I'll be able to live with Russo if he pushes the Truth, Siaki and creates some other new stars. Fuck him for AJ STyles tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest teke184 Report post Posted April 27, 2003 According to Meltzer, the clique of people running the show right now (Russo's group) are very much from the Northeast and speak derisively of a show with good workrate as being "a good rasslin' show." Meltzer himself has some comments to the effect of "Yeah, like Sports Entertainment is a higher artform" as a response. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
