That's exactly how I imagined a Vince Russo email would look - no paragraph breaks even though there were several topics, typos like "worth our wild", his closing salutation stuck right on the end of the massive paragraph. It's like one of us wrote it.

One thing is for sure, Russo is your proper diagnostics guy but not a good wrench guy.

He wanted a female authority figure because he thought she could draw like Steph.
This letter looks believable because now it makes sense why Jarrett hasnt brought Russo to GFW.

so uh... doesn't using the term hip in 2006 kinda prove that you aren't? I mean... I haven't heard that term since the 90's (which I suppose makes sense considering who wrote the e-mail hasn't been relevant since then) I think this was his introduction to prepping Dixie to become an authority figure. Once he gets her on screen he can stroke her ego publicly and become her favorite. Tina Fey isn't a sexy secretary type. She's an awkward but cool boss. Yeah, this comes off like a blatant power play... we need a hot sexy boss... hey Dixie you could play that role bro! "Oh, but if only there was someone in this company who would make the perfect authority figure! Where would we find such a goddess?!" *raises eyebrows*

Wait does that mean Dixies email address is dcarter@tnawrestling.com? Wouldn't shock me. Corporate email addresses aren't complicated or hard to figure out once you have two or three from the same company. A few years back someone figured out WWE's structure and caused them to change everything if memory serves.

Yeah he really did wonders for Joe, giving him shitty pants, make him a budget Umaga, then having him kidnapped by ninjas, then on a rf shoot interview he said that it was Joe's fault being demoted because he didn't watched his physique. f***ing ninjas man And the ninja kidnapping came without any idea for a payoff. Motherf***er did the same thing with Flair, without ever explaining anything. I don't get how the head writer of a big wrestling company, at least back then, gets away with that ineptitude, but from the email I guess that he befriended Dixie from day one.

I agree with Russo, I watched TNA in 2006 and I thought Jim Cornette made the company look outdated and minor. I liked LAX, Joe, Angle and many others during the time, but when Cornette and Jarrett came on, I started to get bored. Jim Cornette is loved from a lot of people, but if you look at his pass you realize he never really did anything groundbreaking in wrestling. He was in the NWA 30 years ago when NWA was getting killed by WWF, he then started his own promotion that didn't last. He then went to the WWF as a manager during their dark years, in 1996 to 1997 he became a writer for the WWF and saw them get killed by WCW. He was allowed to run OVW but got fired for anger problems, during his time in OVW a lot of big names rose to WWE fame, but that was not because of Cornette. He then went to TNA and took it back 20 years and was fired a few years later due to anger problems. He went to ROH and made it boring then got fired for anger problems. He is by far the most over rated "mind" in wrestling. If he never took a career in wrestling things would not look different today.

He might be outdated in some ways but he contributed to the business, OVW produced a lot a lot of main eventers he left the business a better place than he found it

if it turns out this was anybody other than Russo purposely leaking it to both look like he was on trend and had cool ideas that could have kept TNA in business during al this bullshit AND to just take another shot at Cornette I will EAT MY FATHER

As someone who can find something to like about both men, I think it's safe to say that Vince Russo and Jim Cornette are both wildly out-of-date and behind-the-times for a wrestling promotion in 2015. The only difference between them is that one is stuck in an '80s mentality and one is stuck in a late '90s mentality. Otherwise, they're far more similar than they both realize.
But hey, I too share a "sexy woman in glasses" fetish. There's a little Russo in all of us, I guess.
