Vince Russo obviously has had a working relationship with both Jeff Jarrett and Dixie Carter. With that being said he knows what the two are like behind the scenes and he posted a new blog on the Relm Network giving an interesting look at Jeff Jarrett’s TNA return. He says the return was hard for him to watch and explains his reasoning behind that statement. You can check out the full blog HERE and read an excerpt below:
“The thought of John bringing Jeff back at that time, after he had just aided and abided Dixie Carter in getting rid of the founder of the company, had to be a ridiculous notion to him at the time. With the removal of Prichard, Jarrett and Bischoff–Gaburick had successfully cleared the landscape of all those who could–and would– challenge him, thus giving him 100% of the power and authority at TNA. I truly believed that then—and I certainly still believe it now. Even though I personally like John, and always will, when ego starts to play a factor in one’s life—you just change. There is no doubt in my mind that when my situation was accidently revealed–that I was consulting for the company– that was Gaburick’s opportunity to get rid of me as well—because Dixie was the one who actually wanted me back in the fold at the time.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. So, maybe NOW we need to bring back Jeff with the hopes, and dreams, of building an audience quickly, and saving our spot on Destination America. And, Jeff, recently putting his company, GFW, on the road–the more he can say the name, and put over the organization in front of 500,00 viewers—the better. Last night, I watched the behind the scenes footage on YouTube that Jeff had shot for GFW, and knowing the situation, knowing the parties, knowing the circumstances—there was nothing sincere at all. These were just two different people, Dixie Carter and Jeff Jarrett, using each other for their own gain. It was just cold, hard business. Seeing Dixie with Jeff . . . hugging Jeff . . . from my stand point—it was just hard to watch. The Christian man in me really wanted to believe that this was all about forgiveness—but it wasn’t—if it was . . . it would have happened when I first pitched it almost a year ago.”
