The Latest on Vince Russo’s TNA Departure

Despite what Vince Russo posted on Twitter yesterday regarding his TNA departure, The Wrestling Observer is reporting Russo received a phone call from John Gaburick and was in fact fired from the company.

For those who missed Russo’s Tweet from yesterday, he claimed TNA “suggested” they take a break, but he declined, and the two sides officially parted ways.

The Observer report noted John Gaburick did at one point suggest Russo and TNA no longer work together, but in the end the decision was made for Gaburick to fire him.
