Russo's Gone?

Vince Russo has apparently stepped down as the head of creative for Impact Wrestling and according to the good folks at Wrestling Observer, this change occurred a few weeks ago so they should be reflected in the product. This is obviously good news for fans, as Russo is seen to have done more to hurt TNA than anyone else (I argue this, and think Hogan did more to harm TNA). The new head booker is Bruce Richard (AKA Brother Love) and since his tenure has started, one wonders if the stellar Roode/Angle build is due to this?


Russo's face is matching the entire internet's reaction to his creative career

The success of themed Pay-Per-Views




Last night's Hell In A Cell PPV was the third that WWE has done to what appears to be diminishing returns. The themed PPV experiment seems to be failing, with buyrates dropping and the meaning of specialty matches being lost. Hell In A Cell actually has a chance to be the lowest purchased WWE PPV of all time, which considering the hype and history of the events namesake, is proof that things need to change.
