TO ALL VISITORS OF PYROANDBALLYHOO.COM,
As of today I am no longer associated with the website, or brand, pyroandballyhoo.com in any way, shape, or form. I will not be posting anything—blogs, videos, podcasts, from this point going forward. I am no way any longer associated with the site.
Please know, that if you renew your monthly membership, you will not be getting any content from Vince Russo from this day going forward. I also ask you to not buy any Vince Russo merchandise, as I no longer have access to the orders.
I will keep you all updated of my future endeavors here on my Facebook page.
As always I have been and still am very thankful for all your support.
I’ll keep you posted.

As noted above, Vince Russo announced that he is no longer a part of Pyro & Ballyhoo, the website that he started last May. Russo released the 26 minute video above regarding his departure.
Russo started off by spoofing stories about his departure while taking with “Fast Eddie” on the phone, referencing his former writing partner, Ed Ferrara. At the 6:53 mark Russo starts to discuss what happened.
Apparently Russo had someone create the site and his Twitter account for him and he was told last Wednesday that there were issues with the site. On Friday evening Russo was going to post a story about the Hulk Hogan appreciation night at Madison Square Garden and realized he was locked out of the site. He had an idea it was coming, so he changed his Twitter password, only for it to be reset by someone else. He said that he has been locked out of his Twitter account since Saturday morning. His lawyer is working on it, and he expects to regain control of his Twitter account next week.
Russo added that subscribers to his website were automatically charged for their monthly subscriptions via PayPal, and that he hopes their money will be returned. He re-iterated that he is no longer part of the site and that he will not be providing any content for that site.
