Smith Hart, elder brother of Owen Hart took to Twitter last night to blast Vince Russo, upon the news that one of the contributing factors to Spike TV not renewing their television deal with TNA was because of Russo's involvement with the company, Smith blames Russo for the death of WCW and now TNA.

More controversially, he opened his tweet by blasting Russo over the death of Owen who fell to his death in Kansas City, Missouri during the WWE Over the Edge pay-per-view. Russo was reportedly behind the elaborate superhero entrance, it transpired in the weeks after Owen's death that the rigging company didn't check the rigging, something which many believe Russo should have been on top of given the hazards of such an entrance.

He tweeted:
