Backstage: Russo’s TNA Future & Possible Replacement, Hogan
Credit: PWTorch.com Newsletter
Regarding Vince Russo’s future in TNA, everyone close to the situation is saying that nothing has been decided yet by the company. Russo is under the impression that nothing has changed regarding his status since he feels he’s been doing his job, but there are a number of people who feel his position is in jeopardy. Those same people also feel the Hogan and Bischoff team will establish their own infrastructure and put their own creative people in place, and the duo will be in TNA for the long haul.
If Russo goes, the assumption is that Ed Ferarra will also be out of a job. The only remaining member of the current creative staff would be Matt Conway, who is the youngest member of the staff and is someone Dixie Carter sees as a bright young mind.
Kevin Sullivan has been mentioned as a potential replacement for Vince Russo, as well as Kevin Nash although Nash says he has no interest in the role. Nash is currently working to solidify his acting career for once he finishes wrestling.
Rumors that Hogan and Bischoff negotiated directly with Dixie’s father, Bob Carter, who owns TNA’s parent company Panda Energy, are false. Multiple sources closes to the situation say Dixie was in charge of negotiations, which lasted approximately five months.

Blowing a final opportunity to address the Bash At The Beach situation as a story arc is a mistake. Face it, this is probably the LAST time Hogan/Bischoff/Russo/Jarrett will be under the same roof. And what a great way to introduce Hogan/Bischoff by calling out Russo/Jarrett and building their own teams. Team Dixie vs. Team Bischoff/Hogan. That would be great.
I agree that TNA can really do some great angles with this whole thing using the past of Hogan, Bischoff and Russo.
