I'm certain there were breaks there, and also him still being around by 2014 doesn't seem right. I thought he left for good shortly into the Hogan regime but don't quote me on that.

But also, I will say, he booked plenty of great shit :draper2 Plenty of horrible atrocities, but you gotta give him just as much credit as blame I feel

Actually no, Russo gets fired around mid-2003/2004, and then gets brought back in 2007.
Dixie brought him in ?

Yeah lmfao, that's one of the reasons Jim Cornette came to TNA in the first place because he thought Russo would be gone permanently. Joke was on him because literally a few months later he was brought back. :heston
