As far as TNA’s creative team goes, it consists of Vince Russo, Jeff Jarrett and Dutch Mantell. Russo, at this time, is only writing 5-10 percent of TV and PPV shows. Jarrett and Mantell write a majority of it and Russo is left to fill in the blanks.

Russo is also doing a majority of scripting when it comes to promos for the undercard guys such as Chris Sabin and Jay Lethal.

Russo also wrote the Breakfast with the Devil segment between Sting and James Mitchell. Russo wrote the entire segment, word for word. Management was upset with Sting for his deliverance on the few lines he had.

That Sting-Mitchell segment was actually pretty good I think, the whole idea and setting was a little weird but imo it looked realistic. People just blaiming Russo for everything and it shows how little they know. :whacky:
