Vince Russo of Pyro & Ballyhoo recently answered a Spike TV executive’s statement, claiming that the network doesn’t know Russo with an editorial on his website and some Twitter remarks.
Russo responds to Spike executive David Schwarz by calling Schwarz’s comments into question, saying this is reflective of what kind of network Spike really is. You can read an excerpt from the response below:
I can go on all day here, but I really don’t have to. David Schwarz does a fine job of his own painting a picture of WHO Spike TV is, WHAT Spike TV represents and the exact reasons why I laid out through my “opinions” WHY I believe that Spike is inept and a horrible partner for TNA Wrestling. Do you think, in even your wildest Vince Russo imagination, that Bonnie Hammer, the former top brass at the USA Network who I worked with on occasion for the five years that I was employed by the WWE, would have wasted one second of her time constructing a ridiculous statement such as this? Regarding someone who she “didn’t even know?” Of course she wouldn’t. But, that’s why USA Network is USA Network, and Spike TV is . . . well . . . .Spike TV.
Russo’s entire editorial response on the matter can be viewed on his website here.
Russo also took some shots at the network last night and today on Twitter, which can be seen below:
