We published a report yesterday saying that Vince Russo was actually fired from TNA by John Gaburick and did not, as Russo says, leave on his own terms.
Now, Russo has gone on the offensive on Twitter. Russo posted the following to his Twitter account, using the “unnamed sources are crap” excuse. It is worth noting that while we all disdain the “anonymous source” excuse (believe me, we would love to have sources we can identify), many sources for journalism across various fields stay anonymous because they fear for their jobs if they are revealed. That’s not an attempt to comment on the legitimacy (or lack thereof) of the original report, but instead an attempt to explain why we’ll never hear “This specific person from TNA has revealed…”
Interesting. Appears a rep from Phoney Wrestling Information (PW!) tapped my phone yesterday to hear if I quit or got fired. Sneaky bastards

Here's a question-why can't SOURCES have NAMES–UNLESS–they're either lying or being untrustworty–TO SOMEBODY!!!

Russo added the following to Twitter, promoting a new column on the VIP section of his website which claims to have information on his exit:
