I think he had a couple more years left in him. And besides, he always could just come in and been the mouthpiece for the radicals. Because let’s face it he was clearly the best talker of the of the bunch.
tbh that sounds better than scaffold matches with Torrie and Madusa

Can he go away already?

Isn’t he the idiot that made the baseless Jericho allegations?

So yeah, either say what you think he did and be upfront about it, or go away and shut up.

Tbf he never got to come to WWF because he already burned his bridge there by talking shit about Vince and Shawn and others.

Oh man, look at that, Hausman saying shit but not revealing anything about his grievances with either guy. Probably waiting until he can net a profit off of it like he did the Jericho stuff.

Oh, I understand, but see how many others that have come in. Vince will do whatever is best for business. If the radicals had pushed for revolution to come in as a group and didn’t budge on that, Vince would’ve caved.

Yeah, Hausman is an idiot. He’s just engagement farming at this point lol. But don’t dare lie about him because he will threaten a lawsuit

The funny thing is even if Scott did do something, PWInsider isn't even disputing that, they're just saying it had nothing to do with the firing by Anthem and they've heard nothing of the sort from Anthem of it being a reason.

Like they can technically both be right in this situation but Hausman just instantly goes into his insecure rage defense mode

So this just tells everyone that Anthem is just as bad as Sinclair was with ROH, that it's just a thing that's gonna sit there with no money going into it.

-- It hurts to lose Scott, he's a good friend and a leader. But Anthem had their reasons to let him go. He spoke to D'Amore yesterday before he was fired. He said he couldn't leave because people were counting on him.

-- He says big things are planned. As Scott found out. Anthem are still committed to TNA heavily and no sale is planned. He's been in board meetings and big things are coming. It may not seem like it right now but it'll come.

-- Says Anthony Cicione is a pro wrestling fan, He knows him from TSN. Did stuff with WWE for 10 years with The Score. He's a TV producer which Anthem have been pushing heavily for.

-- Creative team isn't going anywhere, it'll be headed by Gail Kim and RD Evans and himself for now. Doesn't know if that'll change.

-- Whatever feelings regarding Scott's firing I have I need to put aside because again cool things are coming and it's Anthems name on the paycheck. And again we have young talent who count on us vets.

-- There is no inbetween with Len Asper. It's cut and dry with him. He'll make an unpopular decision quite easily if he has to.

-- No talent exodus, people may have said stuff in the heat of the moment but if they wish to leave they can speak with Anthem privately.

Gonna be the sentiment that eventually wins out I imagine, probably gonna be something said by Scott himself along these lines. Doesn't make it easier to accept but no point in making life harder for talent and staff, everyone should focus any negatives to Anthem directly
