Vince Russo Denies Reports That He Works for TNA

In late January, rumors began to swirl that Vince Russo had signed back on with TNA. Since then, there have been a slew of rumblings regarding Russo’s status with the company. A major update to the situation reported that Russo was indeed back with the company, working with its creative team in a “Vince McMahon” type role. However, in the report, it was noted that TNA was trying to keep it under the table.

Russo recently broke his silence on the matter in an interview on “The RD and Blade Show” on WrestleCrap.

The man who had worked with TNA from 2002 to 2012 addressed the rumors, stating the following:

“First of all, just for the record, let me make one thing perfectly straight: my contract with TNA was over in February 2012. I do not have a contract with TNA that expires in three months. Where that information came from, I have absolutely no idea. I have not been under contract with any wrestling company since February 2012. So everything you read about ‘Oh, he’s with TNA and there’s still three months left on his contract.’ Who pulled that out of their backside and why, I have no idea. I am under contract with nobody.

If I’m working as a consultant for TNA, if I’m working as a consultant for WWE, if I’m working as a consultant with Jeff Jarrett, you know what? I choose not to comment on that, because I’m just as fascinated to sit back in my house here in the mountains, in beautiful Colorado, and just see how two years and three months I have been out of the business, but yet every day I still seem to be the topic of conversation. And I am totally, totally entertained by that. So if I say I’m consulting for Jeff or if I’m consulting for Vince or if I’m consulting for TNA, it would take the enjoyment out of that for me. My number one priority right now is pyroandballyhoo.com, that is where I’m going to be spending the majority of my time.”

Editor’s Note

I wouldn’t be surprised if Russo is being truthful regarding his current status with TNA. To this day, it still baffles me how many people hate on him.
