Vince Russo Addresses Rumors Of His Impact Wrestling Return

[Kemo]

There was an interesting rumor going around online that Vince Russo was back with Impact Wrestling to help with the creative process.

Pwinsider.com reports that those in Impact Wrestling had denied the rumors that the former head writer was back with the company. Per the report, the rumors have made the rounds since before WrestleMania 36 Weekend.

It was noted that Russo is not involved or employed in any way by Impact. Regarding whether he was set to be part of the “TNA: There’s No Place Like Home” special event back in April at Wrestlecon, it was noted that there was talk of using him at the show.

The reason behind this idea was due to the promotion having an open-door policy for that one single night, to celebrate the old TNA brand.

Russo was never officially booked. The event was nixed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Finally, PWInsider noted there are no plans for Russo within the company in any capacity. This includes him being a consultant, independent contract, or employee.

Russo took to Twitter to react to the rumors by writing the following:

Years Ago I was Hired by TNA as a consultant. Part of the Terms was to keep it Quiet. I did what my Employer asked me to do. When I accidentally sent an e-mail to the wrong address-it came out. I was labeled a LIAR for keeping the confidentiality my employer asked me to. (1)

At that time I vowed myself to never allow myself to get into that situation again. The Dirt Sheets are stirring up that I'm consulting fort TNA again. Hate to kill their FALSE BS-but-I'm not. https://t.co/17iU7cAwCf is a FULL-TIME JOB and I wouldn't trade it in for THE WORLD (2)

Despite this being a "non story", it completely reminded and shocked me to learn that iMPACT Wrestling are still around in some shape or fashion. How crazy is that?

Does anyone still watch iMPACT? Has the booking progressed since the days of Russo and Hogan/Bischoff?
