Dave Meltzer noted in the latest issue of The Wrestling Observer that Vince Russo is in talks with Lucha Underground and that Executive Producer Eric Van Wagenen was pushing to hire Russo.
Van Wagenen denied the report on his Twitter, writing, “The Observer article is wrong. Although I appreciate Mr. Russo’s support of @LuchaElRey, I have never met, spoken, or corresponded with VR.”
Vince Russo also denied the report writing:
“Recently Dave Meltzer reported on the Wrestling Observer that I am in talks with Lucha Underground’s Executive Producer Eric Van Wagenen regarding me joining his company. THIS IS A BOLD-FACE LIE. The fact is, I had never even heard of Eric Van Wagenen until Jeff Lane, the editor of this site, smarted me up to Dave Meltzer’s factitious story this morning.”
