		Vince Russo was writing in the WWF from 97-99: a.k.a the most popular brand of entertainment over the last decade, as it took the ratings to new heights.

		Later on in his career Vince Russo was signed by WCW and was given a role in the company as one of the head bookers.

		Russo may or may not be the change the company needs at this point, as its something that remains to be seen.

	McMahon, Russo strange bedfellows: 6/23/02
		Russo is credited with turning around the company in the late 90's, when the creation of "WWF Attitude" allowed Russo free reign to use controversy and shock value to beat WCW in the ratings.
		Russo did everything from putting the WCW Title around the waist of actor David Arquette to putting himself in an on-air feud with Ric Flair.
		Clearly, Vince felt Russo left the company high-and-dry (even though he left scripts for the next two weeks of programming) and shouldn't have gone to the competition.

		Vince specifically told everyone that Austin was his guy and that if they screwed with Austin, they were screwing with him, which was enough to make everyone back off.
		Russo can talk a good game but, in the end, he either doesn’t understand that you have to book towards making money at the end of the day or he just doesn’t care.

		As for David Felinton, he basically admitted that he does not know enough about the city to be put under such pressure as a public debate; in turn, using write-in candidate, Vince Russo, as a scapegoat.

		Russo is elected, things in the city government might actually change for the best interest of the city and its residents.

		It is also being said that TNA management wants Vince Russo to relocate to Nashville from Atlanta, where he currently resides.
