Response to the TNA announcement.

For those that haven't read the prior post, Wrestling Observer.com broke the news earlier today regarding TNA's major announcement.

I spoil it behind the cut so keep that in mind before you:


The big news is that Vince Russo has been brought back to the company and put back on the creative team.

You know, I was going to make some guesses as to what the announcement was when making the roundtable predictions for this weekend. A lot of them were supposed to be funny and just things that were random silliness. The point is that none of what I thought would be joke predictions included Vince Russo. None of my serious predictions included Vince Russo.

This is the most misguided rediculous pointless, band-aid on the titanic solution to TNA's problems that they could've possibly come up with.

Vince Russo has been horrible in every company he worked for that didn't have a McMahon in charge and some of his stuff in 1999 WWE was just as aweful.

I don't care if Vince Russo has found Jesus, he needs to find a mind for booking wrestling and that one isn't going to happen.

Vince Russo is not new he changes the face of nothing. You're just bringing back an old face (and I'll bet you anything he's back on TV sooner than later) and reminding people of how much the old face sucks.

Vince Russo isn't outside the box, he's a part of the box. We've been there, we've done that and something groundbreaking would be putting me in charge. This is just dragging a tired retread in for his third stint in this company.

You know maybe I should go down to Texas and meet with Panda energy. I'd like to talk to them about sponsoring a couple of ideas that I have for business ventures. First I want them to sponsor the Old Country Corner so that we can all get paid for writing. Then I want to have them sponsor the other business I want t start which consists of me going to the nearest beach and living off of a large paycheck from them. I'd say that I have a good shot at getting the company to support me given their fondness for flushing money down giant sinkholes.

I work cheaper than Russo and would probably work a lot harder. I'm just saying is all.

This company was fucked before, but my advice is now for all the rats scramble to the nearest lifeboat.

I was hoping they couldn't be this stupid, let this be a lesson to you all, never hope for anything. Hoping is hopeless.

I am stunned, litterally stunned to the point that I am speechless at how monumentally nothing changes with this news. This is not new, the world has not changed, the announcement wasn't going to live up to the hype anyway but even if I decrease the hype by 90 percent it doesn't live up to that level either.

They say there is a sucker born every minute, so if you were born on the same date as Bob Carter, at the exact same minute I'd like to declare you safe from ever being called a sucker. In fact, he's such a sucker he's got the next 10 years covered.

Oh and you know Russo's going to be on TV because:

1. He can't stay away, the fact he's back at all proves this.
   
2. His name is part of the huge announcement and what would Dixie really be saying if she said: "Vince Russo is back writing TV", ah nothing like reminding people that what they're watching isn't real...its a Russo trademark.

I can't wait for him to declare all the belts are props and then the next minute try and tell you that you should buy the PPV to watch 2 guys fight for 1 prop.

I know people think that if TNA is open its another place for wrestlers to work and that's a good thing. I say, its time to close this company for good.
