Thing about how fucked up that guy is he's probably heard rumors in the lockerroom about his dads work, seen it 1st hand, & then had people bash him everywhere like watching your dad get his ass kicked. No way he'd stay after they threw a party for Russo's departure & have some guys mock his dad. I respect the mans decision.

Will Russo resigned on Sunday. Spike threw the party on Monday. And the party may not have been for Russo's departure.

looool, the party wasn't BECAUSE he was fired.(although that would be the most hilarious thing of all time) Assuming they threw the party for russo in the first place, it was to celebrate his incredible career and thank him for his time in TNA.

Let's see here. You go to work with your father for a company he helped create and put on the map interning and working with his, a dream come true for alot of young men. You then have to sit there and watch said company force your father out the door after everything he has done for them. He'd be a pussy had he lowered his head and stayed working there. Will Russo is a man stood up and did the principled thing.

[Namor1987]

I meant had he stayed & toughed it out I'm far from illiterate. Yeah he should've came up to the place resigned in person probably didn't feel like dealing with the bullshit & more than likely under stress.

How do you know they forced him out? They left on good terms.

[Fenris]

A culmination of things. For now let's put it this way, if they truly left on good terms and Russo left on his own he son probably wouldn't have up and quit the same day they "parted on good terms" nor via telephone. He nor his kid would have done that to "Uncle" Jeff.
