Russo had TNA headed in a great direction until Hogan came in and turned it to absolute shit I hear this all the time and I never understand why people use Russo stumbling on a few good months of a career 90% full of shit and somehow think that he`s changed. I even have a genuinely tough time thinking people actually believe Russo was on to something at that time and just say that to further villainize Hogan and Bischoff.

Just when you thought Dixie Carter couldn't get any dumber, she proves you wrong.

I understand some people may not like Russo's booking style but saying his career is 90% shit is a very uneducated statement. WCW 99-00 is what he's most hated for. TNA when he was in charge is often praised and the Attitude Era which he wrote is considered one of the best periods of wrestling ever. So he's 2 for 3. If he really is in charge of TNA now then lets just see what he can do with it before everyone freaks out.

OP's avatar pretty much sums up my feelings about this.

Besides, he is a born-again Christian, so I don't think he will do any extreme storylines.

Not to dive into a religion argument but being born again doesn't mean he won't wallow in the mud like he used to. He was born again most of his time in TNA and an angle with a time travelling, date raping, space lesbian vampire ghost happened on his watch.

This probably played a role of Double J suddenly leaving. I patiently await the parody characters of Hogan and Bischoff because it wouldn't be Russo without that.

If he really is in charge of TNA now then lets just see what he can do with it before everyone freaks out. It may be a bit of a hyperbolic statement but I don't think it's that off. My main point anyways was that even if you think Russo had some good ideas, to think that he's going to be able to consistently book a great, sensible show for the long term, there's zero evidence to support that thinking. I'm not giving Russo the benefit of the doubt for his time in WWE based on the fact that he's been a complete nightmare everywhere else. I don't believe he was the genius of the Attitude era, much like I don't believe he was finally getting it until Hogan and Bischoff killed his momentum. I'm not even gonna wait and see, if Russo's back he's going to do stupid things. I'm more than willing to be proven wrong, but you see interviews with him where he doesn't even believe a single thing he's written may have been even the slightest bit off the mark and you know that he's not gonna come back with a new attitude. You watch an episode of Impact where the mere presence of a pole has everyone thinking the guy's writing again, and that that inkling seems to be just about proven right shows that this is not a guy who is interesting in creative growth.

"How do you keep TNA fresh and funny after 11 years? Well, here's what's on tap for season 12: magic powers! Wedding after wedding after wedding. And did someone say, "long-lost triplets?" So join America's favorite TV family, and a tiny green space alien named Ozmodiar that only Dixie can see, on Spike TV this fall. It'll be out of this world! Right, Ozmodiar?" I just love how TNA gave the IWC its greatest gift on a silver f***ing platter when they filmed the fans leaving the Impact Zone for the empty arena match.

Just quoting this so more people see it. Russo coming back isn't going to massively alter the sometimes bizarre (/Davey Boy) booking as of the last year, but given that doesn't seem to be the case for once blame can be taken off of him!

I misread "Or Big is" as Big E, thought we were getting a New Invasion!
