*EXCLUSIVE* News On The Russo-Prichard TNA Power Struggle

[Jonathan]

Despite TNA officials’ claims to the contrary, there is a very real power struggle going on behind the scenes at TNA Impact Wrestling, and the bad blood dates back many years.

When Vince Russo ascended to the top of the WWE creative power structure in the Attitude Era, he did it at the expense of Bruce Prichard and Pat Patterson, who were WWE Chairman Vince McMahon’s closest confidantes at the time.

Even Jim Ross, who was head of talent relations, found himself out in the cold when it came to creative pitches to McMahon, who used Russo to “fill in the blanks” (according to a well placed source who was in WWE at the time) as McMahon took total control of his product and went forward with the Stone Cold Era.

Now, Bruce Prichard seems to be in position to, as a key insider in TNA points out, “deliver one hell of a receipt to Russo,” as no one is alllowed to pitch directly to TNA President Dixie Carter anymore, everyone must go through Prichard.

“Russo is on the chopping block, no matter what anyone else says,” our key insider told us exclusively, “and Prichard is the one swinging the axe!”

Fucking win. I hate Vince Russo with a passion.

Russo isn't bad providing he has a filter. He has about 2 good ideas for every 20 he thinks of.

Someone should make some videos backstage. It's better than their product.

WWE, please sign him. Yeah, I said it.

TNA was several things during his time... but two things it never was was boring and predictable. When anyone's theme music hit, you had some sort of reaction to that wrestler (even if it was rage that some past-his-prime dope like Sting, Nash, or Hogan was on your TV). But Styles, Joe, Anderson, Pope, Abyss, and anyone else relevant had an actual character that the fans could identify with the wrestler. This is exactly what WWE needs right now, as long as he has a filter and can just give ideas to someone else instead of having everything goes to him.

The guy knows something about wrestling. WWE, Please pick him up as a "creative consultant" or whatever you call them. (inb4igetflamed)

That is actually a really good point. Him being in the WWE with Vince over seeing his work could provide some excellence. The problem is when he's left alone. Then stuff like Goldberg's heel turn happen.

No way should WWE sign Russo.
You obviously never saw the state of WWE when he was there.

Russo wanted to go with a different angle to Austin 3:16 until McMahon took back power of the scripts etc.
Imagine if there was no Austin 3:16.

Hence why it's Russo with a filter also where did you hear he wasn't in support of the idea? I've seen an extract from his book which showed it was Russo who was in support of the idea for Austin 3:16 not Vince. It's not the best source but it's a source.

Any source?

I wouldn't mind him back, any crazy crap he comes out with can beat Miz vs Jerry Lawler for the WWE championship.

Believe me, Vince Russo with a censor is like having a competition with 1 person. None of his ideas would be used, thus wasted money.

I can guarantee Vince Russo will not be hired again by WWE, at least while Vince McMahon runs the company.

He was responsible for the Attitude Era.
