I think that's pretty much a given.  Russo is the only booker besides Jeff's own father who's ever pushed Jeff as a main eventer.

 

I'd kinda hoped that Jeff might've taken this opportunity to mend fences with Jerry, but whatever.

I don't think Russo would be completely horrible if used in a role where he writes a lot of filler but has zero input on who gets pushed or match finishes.

Also the amount of time given to matches. He at least gets his stories over quickly. That shouldn't be an asset but after aces and eights it probably is now. It really does say a lot though the need to try and keep hiring him back secret. The show hasn't been without merit recently. The booking of the champion and Dixie are major drags though.

Jarrett eventually got rid of Russo.  Dixie Carter keeps bringing him back for some reason.  I think he's a "consultant" now which means that he gets included in on the creative team's e-mails and he just e-mails his ideas to Dixie and she passes them on to the creative team instead of him delivering them in person as most would question him, especially the talent.

 

Also, this way he can continue to deny any culpability for anything that fails miserably as he always does.  "No bro, that was Dutch's idea."  "That wasn't me, I swear to you, Jeff wanted to do that."  "It would've worked but he just didn't embrace it at all."  "I love Joe but his weight, bro."  "Bro, my job is to get ratings but those guys wrestle for the internet fans."

 

Upcoming:  "I wasn't even there, bro."  "I don't even have a computer and I'm going to be honest with you, I don't even really believe in computers."  "I've never even heard of e-mail before.  Mail made of electricity?  That's ludicrous, c'mon, bro, you'd get electrocuted if something like that existed."

Ben, I think you're one of the most insightful posters here, but you and I both know that this one needed more references to Spaldingz.

"Bro, look, I'm going to be honest with you.  I'm not sure what you're even talking about here with these 'spaldingz' but I think, look, are you talking about my testicles here?  My balls?  Look bro, I'm a Christian now but before...there's something about this business, this wrestling business.  It's so negative bro.  You've got your Dave Meltzers and your Wade Kellers and they just put out all this stuff, all these unsubstantiated rumors and these internet wrestling fans latch onto it and everything is somehow my fault, bro.  I'm a writer, not a booker, bro.  My job is to get ratings.  Ratings, RATINGS, do you understand what I'm saying here, bro?  But I think I know where this 'spaldingz' thing came from, bro.  When I left the WWE and I went to the WCW, after I had my meeting with the Turner people in Atlanta as I'm driving to the airport, I called Ed Ferrera and I told him I just signed with the WCW and Ed, I love him and we had our problems but they're all worked out now and I love him, bro, Ed says to me, "Vince, while the old man has his grapefruits, you've got testicles like basketballs.  You've got some spaldingz, bro." and that's where that came from.  That came from Ed Ferrera not me, not Vince Russo, not like those quote-unquote journalists like Dave Meltzer and all those internet wrestling fans would have you believe.  Look I have no reason to lie to you and the truth is I don't even have testicles, bro."

Mr Russo, did you learn anything from watching older territories or even weekly ECW?

 

"Bro, listen, I love Paul E., bro.  He's a New Yorker just like me, he's got that New York don't give a F attitude, you know what I'm saying.  But the ECW, bro, listen, I'm going to be completely honest with you, it was cool for what it was but it was nothing like what I was writing during the Attitude Era, bro.  Paul was way too concerned with writing for the internet wrestling fans and trying to get five stars from the so-called internet wrestling journalists like Dave Meltzer and Wade Keller.  He'd bring in these guys from Japan and Mexico and bro, let me tell you as an American I don't give a you know what about seeing these guys who can't talk American.  Back when I was a kid and would go to the Garden, the world's most famous arena, Madison Square Garden, bro, in New York City and it was the WWWF and I would see my favorite Bruno Sammartino, the Living Legend, bro.  Bruno was so over back then and you know why?  Because he was an American and he had a great head of hair, bro.  Listen, nobody wants to cheer somebody with no hair.  Back when I wrote for the WWE during the Attitude Era, I created Stone Cold Steve Austin.  Before me and I love Steve, bro, but before me he was just this bland guy with no hair but the stuff I was writing for him made Vince McMahon a billionaire, bro.  Then when I went to the WCW and Hulk Hogan that bald-headed SOB, I love him now but back then he was such an SOB, I would tell him, "Terry, you've got no hair, you'll never make it in the professional wrestling business" and he would look at me like I had three heads, bro.  Then when I went to TNA, Chris Daniels, I love him to death but this guy would wrestle for the internet.  He wanted to have five star matches and I would tell him, "Bro, you're bald." and then I took away his first name and he just got so pissy about it.  And Samoa Joe, bro, I love him but he's got no abs.  He would walk around saying "Joe is going to kill you" and bro, you can't kill anybody without abs.  I mean The Rock is Samoan and he had abs and Rocky is a beautiful man and I say that as a straight man and bro, you know I am because I pushed Chyna.  So I told Joe to take some time off and grow some abs and I had him kidnapped by a van full of ninjas, white ninjas because I'm an American and I want to see Americans on my TV, bro.  And he would keep asking "How am I coming back?" and I told him don't worry about it, bro and when I brought him back, he had a big knife and a big black penis painted on his face cause and all the white guys out there know this, nothing is scarier than a big black penis, bro.  And let me tell you, bro, the internet, oh my god, the internet complained and complained about that.  This guy, Brian...uh, Dave Meltzer's stooge, what's his name, Bryan Melendez?  This guy wrote a book and I haven't read it, The Death Of The WCW but people have told me that he blames me for killing the WCW but bro, I wasn't even there.  I had a, what's it called, abi..abilie...eyewitnesses that place me nowhere near the scene of the crime, bro.  And you know I have no reason to lie to you but bro, I can't even read.  People like the internet wrestling fans criticize me all the time for that, but I'm a writer not a booker.  If god wanted me to be able to read books, I would've been born in Bookland not Brooklyn."

Those videos make me think that the Jarretts have a crazy overestimation about how "beloved" Karen is by wrestling fans.

Jeff too, but that's not as blatant.

 

Yeah, some of the Jeff/Karen couple vids are like they are being intentionally done to drive Kurt Angle crazy.

 

Of course, if Jeff comes back as Double J MMA, then there is no overestimation of how beloved he is.

http://gwhnewsandnotes.blogspot.com/2014/03/report-new-jarrett-promotion-to.html

From the Mid-South Indy Wrestling News:

 

Jeff Jarrett's new wrestling promotion will reportedly begin airing on CMT in January 2015. This information comes from Toby Keith, a major financial partner of Jarrett's, who has strong ties to the network and has been leaking bits of news since getting involved. A reality show starring Jeff and wife Karen Jarrett is reportedly also in the works and will serve as a vehicle to launch the new promotion a few months later.

 

Jarrett is seeking to introduce new faces and personalities, including international talent, and has been scouting Indy Wrestling events and watching recommended videos in this search for new talent for his show.

 

 

Chances of Jeff hiring Gabe as lead booker?

It's probably Jarrett, D'Amore, and Cornette.

Actually, a reality show about trying to put together a wrestling promotion would be something I would absolutely watch. With far more certainty than watching the actual wrestling promotion. I've yet to see any sign that Barood, Deadly Danda, or even Jwala are going to be involved.

Just like Total Divas, I will watch it and hate myself for it.
