On Vince Russo’s latest podcast,
Russo shared his opinions on the recent comments of TNA’s John “Big” Gaburick,
who claimed that Vince has been “acting in a self-destructing manner that could
hurt the company”. Here are the highlights…
TNA having a problem with Vince and JR: “Prior to the
start of my falling out with TNA, I had committed to JR’s podcast. The day
before I was to do it, I received an e-mail from TNA management telling me that
they did not want me to. Knowing that was coming, because I know TNA’s
elementary and childish ways of doing business, I called JR and told him that I
couldn’t discuss ANY TNA business during our interview. JR told me that while
that wasn’t an issue, he still had to ask in doing his job, so upon his question
I could just say that, “I was not at liberty to talk about TNA”. Simple. Easy.
Done. I went back to TNA and told them about my conversation with JR. That
wasn’t good enough—they still didn’t want me to do it. Also, as a side note,
just keep in mind that BOTH Kurt Angle and Bully Ray were ALLOWED to do JR’s
podcast just week’s prior—but, not Vince Russo.”
Russo on TNA having bigger problems than him: “In TNA
management’s own words, they were worried about me hurting the company by
talking to my colleagues and friends, but yet they are not hurting their own
company by (a) Not having a new TV deal (b) Possibly losing Kurt Angle (c) Bully
Ray “allegedly” telling the locker room that he didn’t plan on resigning with
TNA. With the monumental problems that TNA management has before them—they are
afraid of the damage that Vince Russo will do by talking to Good Ol’ JR?!”
