Jeff Jarrett Claims Vince Russo Has “Serious Mental Health Issues”

AEW personality Jeff Jarrett has said that Vince Russo is dealing with “serious mental health issues.”

In 1999, both Jarrett and Russo left the WWF for WCW, where Double-J became a multi-time World Champion.

Russo, who was responsible for some of the WWF’s biggest moments during the Attitude Era, has been lambasted for decades due to his booking during his WCW tenure.

Speaking on the latest episode of his “My World” podcast, Jarrett spoke about Russo and his alleged issues. He said,

“Candidly, he’s got serious, serious, and I’m speaking from experience, he’s got serious mental health issues. There’s no doubt in my mind, and I’ve said it for years.”

AEW TV Will Reportedly Be Getting A New Look In January

Michael Mansury, the former Vice President of Global Television Production for WWE, has been hired by AEW, and now changes are expected for AEW programming. 

Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that part of the deal for Mansury being brought in is that Warner Brothers Discovery and AEW President Tony Khan have decided to change the look of the television programming. 

It’s believed that the planned changes will go into effect at some point in January.

A person within WWE gave the following comments regarding Manusary being signed by AEW:

“Tremendous asset. Was being groomed to be the heir apparent to the Kevin Dunn throne, but moved up too quickly and much like David Sahadi and several others, that’s when Dunn covertly made his life very difficult.”

Jeff Jarrett Teases That ‘Cool Things’ Are Coming To AEW In 2023

Jeff Jarrett currently serves as AEW’s Director of Business Development and is working closely on the live event side of things.

During the latest edition of his “My World” podcast, Jarrett promised some “cool things” that will be coming in 2023.

When talking about adding AEW live events to new markets, Jarrett said the company is “plowing the ground, and a lot of cool things coming in Q1 next year.” He said,

“Hopefully we get some announcements out sooner rather than later, but there’s a lot of cool things … The WWE is a 40, 50, 60-year-old company, the lineage goes back three or four generations. AEW, I mean people may or may not take this the right way, but in a lot of ways it’s no longer the embryo, it’s been born, but it’s still in the infant stages. It’s really cool.”
