>Spike execs said on a record they didn't give a shit if Russo was there or not.nah, you're glossing over it. They wrote this really passive-aggressive "denial" where they basically called Russo a worthless cretin. Basically just professionally denying that he had anything to do with it because it would make them look petty to outsiders who have never had the displeasure of dealing with Russo, while making it crystal clear to everyone else that they want nothing to do with the retard. I don't think Russo was the sole factor for TNA getting kicked off Spike, but he certainly didn't help matters.
>When he was writing he increased TNA ratings every yearNo he didn't, TNA ratings were increasing when Jeff Jarrett, Cornette and Dutch Mantell were all there to keep Russo's stupid shit in check. When they all left and it was just Russo and Fererra is the exact moment things went to shit for TNA.
>Russo is praised by people who actually matters such as Kurt Angle, Mick Foley, The Rock, Stone Cold, Kevin Nash, Shawn Michaels to name a fewI know Nash and Foley have gone on record and said a lot of Russo's ideas were fucking stupid. Nash on one of his recent podcasts said that in TNA he was one of the guys who was agreeing with Cornette and trying to get Russo to dial back on his stupidity. Most of those guys never praise his booking or writing, they just praise him because he advocated for them to Vince. And there are plenty of guys who think he was a fucking idiot, like Roddy Piper and Hogan.
