Former WWE, WCW and TNA/IMPACT Wrestling head writer Vince Russo recently appeared on the "Keepin’ It 100 With Konnan" podcast, where he talked about a variety of topics such as how he has never shared a deeper relationship or experience with any wrestler he has ever worked with than Jeff Jarrett and how he has never heard from Jarrett again since he left from IMPACT Wrestling all those years ago because as far as he is concerned, Jarrett was never a friend to him and Jarrett just used him when he was in a position to help him and help his career and the second he was no longer in that position, Jeff was done with him and that’s a fact.
Vince Russo said:
“I was there when his wife, Jill, died, every step of the way, bro, every step of the way. I went back to TNA after I left just to help him because I knew Jill was dying. I was in Nashville when she died in the middle of the night. He called me. I rushed over there. It was very, very deep, and I never shared that kind of experience with any wrestler I ever worked with.”
“When I left TNA in January of 2012, it’s going to be 13 years, that’s when I left mainstream wrestling. I haven’t gotten one phone call from him in the last 11 years. No phone call, nothing. Basically, here’s what it was. It’s the typical wrestler. When I was no longer in a position to help him and his career, I never heard from him again. It’s that simple. So I basically just made the statement that the second I left TNA, I never heard from this guy again, and as far as I’m concerned, he was never a friend. He used me when I was in a position to help him and help his career. The second I was no longer in that position, he was done with me, and that’s a fact.”
