Vince Russo says he is backing a new professional wrestling company, but itâ€s not the one you might have heard about.
Russo was the subject of a rumor this week that suggested he was writing for the National Wrestling Alliance. The former WWF, WCW and TNA writer has not worked for a major wrestling promotion in several years, but that appeared to change due to landing a new gig with the NWA.
Russo has spoken out about that claim, not only revealing that itâ€s not true, but heâ€s now an investor in Juggalo Championship Wrestling, the promotion owned by the Insane Clown Posse.
“I hope you can now believe me about the Dirt Sheet Media. Led by the infallible @davemeltzerWON I have no idea where @nwa even came from,†Russo wrote on Twitter/X. “Not me. Of course, nobody even bothered to call me to ask. This is exactly what Iâ€ve been saying about Wresting Journalist for years Dave—-I told you the hair dye was starting to seep into your brain. I am now a proud INVESTOR in @jcwlunacy. You are about to see things youâ€d never thought youâ€d see on a Professional Wrestling Show!!! The Mamby-Pamby, Phone It In BS IS OVER!!!â€
Russo specifically took aim at Meltzer, who addressed the original rumor on his radio show. Meltzer claimed that Russo working for NWA didnâ€t matter and pointed out the promotionâ€s smaller presence in the pro wrestling landscape. He said that perhaps NWA owner Billy Corgan could sell networks on having Russo, who brought WWF and WCW to new heights in the Attitude Era, but didnâ€t see it mattering overall.
