Jim Cornette says no one in TNA can succeed with Vince Russo booking, can't understand why Dixie Carter protects him, discusses the NWA Legends Fanfest

Jim Cornette told Brian Fritz of Fanhouse.com that TNA is a lost cause with Vince Russo booking the company. "Nobody can succeed with Vince Russo even working in the company, much less creative," Cornette said. "And that is the one person Dixie Carter has protected at all turns. Nobody understands it. Nobody can explain it."

Cornette also commented on the NWA Legends Fanfest that takes place this weekend in Charlotte, N.C. "It's actually my favorite fanfest," said Cornette. "I've said this so many times, you know, people do one-day events, two-day events all over the country, but this thing, it goes almost four full days with the greatest names, the biggest turnout. It's an annual summer vacation for most people now. I'm really looking forward to it." To read the full interview, visit Fanhouse.com.

Powell's POV: I'd be lying if I said I understood what Carter sees in Russo in his role as the creative head of TNA. It is astonishing that he's kept his job this long despite so many people within the industry feeling as though he's incompetent. Cornette also explained what he did to keep his sanity in TNA, comments on UFC taking fans away from pro wrestling, and discussed Ring of Honor.
