More on Vince Russo’s Departure from Juggalo Championship Wrestling

As noted before, Vince Russo departed from Juggalo Championship Wrestling due to issues over him being unhappy in the company for a while and his old age of 65 years old. Russo had been an investor and the lead creative writer for JCW prior to his departure.

A recent episode of the Kliq This podcast featured co-host Sean Oliver revealing that he had mediated discussions between Russo and JCW co-founder Violent J over issues revolving around creative differences.

“There was a news story in the wrestling media that I’d hoped wasn’t coming, and I tried, since I was part of the impetus of this. I will tell you that several times throughout Vince Russo’s tenure writing TV for Violent J and JCW – I’m doing some writing for them, and of course I am close to the product – and I was on the phone many times when there were creative rifts.

“I got a text two nights ago from Vince saying that it’s officially over. I did get them both on the phone about a week ago when it looked like it was going to split, and kind of tried to get everybody talking and working towards a resolution, which ultimately I guess both parties decided would not come.”

Oliver also gave his thoughts about the cause of the creative rift and issues between Russo and Violent J being a difference in the creative vision for JCW.

“The rift there, it’s not the minutiae of decisions — who wins, who loses, who gets pushed, who’s not. I think a lot of people think that problems in creative are that, and I would imagine that that’s consistent across the board, that it’s not that stuff. It’s the vision, the broader vision of the company. Where will this guy take us? What type of stuff will we be putting on with them? It’s a broader problem beyond who gets a strap, who doesn’t, whatever.”

co-host and WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash responded stating:

“Vince has been making spaghetti for so f—ing long that he’s going to f—ing make the sauce the way he makes the sauce, the noodles. Like, that’s just the way Vince does it. And you either like it that way or you don’t like it that way.

And sometimes you might have to f—ing eat it for a couple of months, or six or 10 or whatever, and then you realize, ‘I don’t particularly like Vince Russo spaghetti.’ Then you just don’t eat it anymore.”
