Vince the beginning of Time.....

I got the following quote from Dave Scherer on www.1wrestling.com

"A lot of people are talking about Vince Russo going to [NWA]TNA. As I said above, I have an interview scheduled with him tomorrow, which should be interesting. For those wondering, after he was bumped down to a consultant by WWE, he never signed the contract they sent him, so he is a free agent. I talked about the issue in-depth on my hotline yesterday."


Well, I am a very happy camper. Terry Taylor, who is a big inside name in the wrestling business once said "A person is either a fan of WWF [now WWE] or a fan of any other wrestling organization." I am sure I am a fan of any other wrestling organization. I am actually a fan of any wrestling, but seem to like any other wrestling organization more. I liked WCW more, and even when they were bad, and for awhile they were quite bad, I still watched and hoped they would come back to bet the then WWF once again.

Anyone who has talked to me in person knows I belive that Vince Russo was the greatest writer in the wrestling business. And in fact, the numbers the WWF pulled while he was writing for the seem to prove my point. He certainly has had some horrible idea's, but his pro's far outweigh the con's.

Another point of interest in this situation is this: when Vince Russo worked in WWF, he worked with a man named Ed Ferrara. From what I understand Vince basically set up what should happen on the show and Ed wrote the show. They worked hand in hand in WWF and both had equal power in the company. When they went to WCW, Vince was given a position on notch above Ed, and according to Ed, power quickly went to Vince's head.

Before NWATNA series went on the air, there was a lot of rumors that because Ed Ferrara was going to be commentating for them, Vince Russo must also be working for them. Ed basically said that not only was Vince Russo not working for NWATNA, but the bad blood between them was so bad that they could not work in the same company together. It soul be interesting.

With all this going on in the NWATNA, for the second week in a row I screwed taping tonights show. Out of the four shows they have done, I am missed the last two. I suck.
