With Dutch Mantell booking and without Russo in the company, Samoa Joe became the hottest act in wrestling. He was so over that he drew the highest ppv buys ever for tna, twice. Samoa Joe was so over that Umaga was created as a response. Then came Vince Russo and once he took over, he made it his mission to kill Samoa Joe as a draw. Nonsensical heel turns and a penis in his face, let’s not forget ninjas kidnapping him. TNA and Russo killed him. To be fair, according to Russo, the ninjas kidnapping Joe was 100% Eric Bischoff's idea. Interesting because Joe said that it was Russo’s idea. I’ll take Joe’s word for it since Russo had already booked a nonsensical kidnapping that led to nowhere in wcw. Russo was never a fan of Samoa Joe and he hurt his tna run. Russo even had the nerve to say that Joe would never make it past developmental because of his physique.

If I recall right, Joe was probably abducted as a means of turning him heel to join Immortal when it eventually formed (since that's who "they" were). But then, uh...nothing. Was that the time he made some public comments about TNA booking and they basically punished him for it? Either way, ugh, that stretch was brutal.

It's also not the first, twentieth or hundredth time Russo has shifted the blame of something failing onto someone else.

Short answer: he kinda had a mental breakdown sorta... and combined with his Patreon paying him for doing little to no work he stopped doing anything but streaming occasionally. many of his fans that supported him on Patreon even left apologizing to HIM despite him not doing anything... but he still makes 505 a month... despite the last patreon exclusive thing (at least that is shown when you go to his page) was in 2016...
