I really don't get the Russo infatuation. They would have been better off copying fanfic from the internet and using that for their storylines. He doesn't offer anything revolutionary or interesting.

He doesn't offer anything revolutionary or interesting. And Dixie is just another indie-fed money mark, just with even more money. She's more interested in hiring absolutely anybody with a whiff of name recognition from WWF/WCW than in building a company from the ground up.

Ok so the explanation I heard of the Russo story is that he accidentally emailed the wrong person and let it slip he was still working in TNA. Is this a joke or is it seriously what happened? Because when I first heard it I immediately thought it was a joke.

He was first rumored to be back months ago, but TNA denied or was evasive about it to their workers, Wrest1e-1, and most importantly Spike. It finally broke whenRusso emailed Mike Johnson of PWI instead of Mike Tenay about commentary poo poo.

Halloween Jack posted:Russo must be one of those guys who's great at marketing himself. He can do this based on the fact that he was head writer when WWF surged ahead of WCW, and besides that, based just on the fact that he has experience working in the Big Two. He can blame everything that went wrong in WCW on Hogan, Nash, Bischoff, the Turner execs, anybody. Remember, after all that WCW poo poo, Russo still managed to get hired back by WWE, only to leave a short time later.

So say TNA dies, which is looking more and more likely by the day. Given WWE's current financial problems, do they put in a bid for at least the name and the tape library? Or is that a cost they can't justify right now?

Given how much Vince wants to own *everything*, I'm sure he'd find the cash.

You have to understand too, it hasn't just been trickling out. She writes 2-4000 words per Raw. Every week. Did Smackdown and PPVs for a while too. It's currently longer than multiple Bibles.

Vince will find some pocket change (which is what TNA's trademarks and tape library will cost) just because he really does want everything wrestling-related.

Guys...guys...what if the ultimate swerve was that Russo was working for Vince ALL ALONG, trying to bring down the competition from the inside??

MY GOD Does it follow the current storyline and gimmicks of Jericho and Stephanie? or is it some strange alternate universe where they still have their gimmicks from 10 years ago.

Does Konnan have a rep as a bullshitter? I'm just curious how much stock one should put in the "Someone in Mistico's entourage pulled a gun on Del Rio" story.

I don't know, but it would explain Del Rio finding new and hilarious ways to stiff Sin Cara whenever they had a match.

So I honestly do not remember...why was Kaval fired from WWE again? I was watching when he was around but his reason for departure has totally left my head.

They had nothing for him and no interest in pushing him, so they cut him. It was originally agreed that it would be announced as him requesting his release but that wasn't the case.
