Quellen innerhalb von TNA Wrestling sollen "The Sports Courier" erzählt haben, dass das Mitglied des TNA Creative Teams und zugleich rechte Hand von TNA Headwriter Vince Russo Ed Ferrara in der letzten Woche von TNA Wrestling entlassen worden ist.
Hier die englische Originalmeldung von "The Sports Courier":
Sources within Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA Entertainment) have told The Sports Courier that creative team member and head writer Vince Russo's right-hand man Ed Ferrara has been relieved of his duties.
It is believed that Ferrara was fired as early as last week. Ferrara, along with the always-controversial Russo, have been constantly criticized for their lack of character development and pure wrestling knowledge when it comes to booking the TNA product, in conjunction with their past failures in World Championship Wrestling's (WCW) dying days.
Sources say Ferrara was told to keep quiet and given a severance package upon his exit.
Older fans may remember Ferrara portraying WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross in a tastleless skit in WCW titled "Oklahoma," which parodied the announcer's Bell's Palsy condition.
Ferrara held his position on TNA's creative team since late 2009, ironically when Jim Cornette and Dutch Mantell, two highly respected wrestling minds were forced out of the company.
This leads many within the company to believe that Russo may have not only thrown his old friend under the bus amidst TNA's financial and creative troubles, but also that the head writer's job could be in serious jeopardy.
While many will speculate this could lead to former ECW, WWE, and OVW creative mastermind Paul Heyman's entrance to TNA's booking team, it has been reported that he would not want to work with Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff, the two men that were allegedly supposed to take the company to new heights.
