Shane: Things are really bad right now, man. They’ve made a 50 year old part-time wrestler the biggest heel in the company. Russo: ...but...isn’t that you? Shane: Swerve! *click*

I can imagine Shane doing it as a prank or something, if it really did happen and because it's Russo I doubt it.

Anyone who thinks a crazy show can't also be f***ing boring missed 2011 TNA. For every legendarily bad 10/14/10 were many more shows absolutely not worth the mockery and where no enjoyment could be had.

It's a shame Chris Kreski is no longer with us, he is someone from the past I would have welcomed back

Apparently Shane really liked Russo back in the day and a lot of Shane’s creative pitches were similar to the sort of things Russo would have done. Of course that’s just bullshit I read on the internet somewhere once so take with a pinch of salt

"You have reached the offices of Fox, how may we place your call?" "Bro, I have the sweetest deal for you. You got a major contract with WWE, I am the man to make sure they toe the line bro" "Oh, who is this" "Vince Russo bro!" "We were warned about you" *click*

For every legendarily bad 10/14/10 were many more shows absolutely not worth the mockery and where no enjoyment could be had. Who are you to question the gripping tale of Mr. Anderson getting a concussion after a completely off his face Jeff Hardy smacked him in the back of the head with a chair? Who could ever forget Matt Morgan, the man whose finisher was a B I G B O O T, feeling so bad for Mr. Anderson's head trauma that he left Immortal?

I knew Russo would try to get a piece of the action one way or another. He’s on the outside looking in watching Heyman and Bischoff get these important jobs and he wishes he could get a position like that too. For all his complaining he knows the only real money he has ever made in his life was through pro wrestling. He desperately wants to be making that kind of money again. I understand that but he offers nothing to the business. He’s been given chance after chance and he hasn’t made a difference for the better in about a decade.
Heyman is said to have basically been doing his new job already. Now he’s got the official title and position. Bischoff has always kept things business and I think Vince McMahon has always respected that about him. Vince Russo seems to have always been a headache. When TNA has to keep your employment a secret it’s a very bad look for you.

Lol...at us Remember it just takes one Fox exec to go, “This guy was the head writer during the Attitude Era? We have to hire him!” No matter how flawed or inaccurate that statement is, it just takes one uninformed exec to think that and bam Russo has some level of input.

I'm hoping he ended up calling an actual fox by accident. He called Alicia Fox.

I feel bad for Russo. I listen to his show sometimes and he does not seem to realize that he is an older man now. He talks about how so and so is whatever age and out of touch with today's wrestling fan and social climate. When he did the Attitude Era, he was in his 30s. He had his finger on the pulse of society. Now, however, he is almost 60. He is as out of touch as anybody. I heard him a few days ago going on and on about how we needed to go back to bra and panties matches. That just would not cut it in today's world. I get a kick out of the fact that Vince Russo, the man who built his career on swerves and twists doesn't see that the wrestling world has become "The Sixth Sense," and he has become Bruce Willis' character.

Oh man, dude missed his calling by not hooking up with M. Night Shyamalan for movies with random twists (the Sixth Sense one was great, most of the others not so much). "What a twist swerve" /Robot Chicken.

According to Russo in his latest video he phoned Shane McMahon who told Russo things are bad and WWE need him back. Russo is a jackass, but I can actually buy this. Apparently, Shane's really into Russo style booking which is why I never want him running the creative side of things over HHH/Steph.
