In a situation where that happened and Russo wasn't in charge, I think they might have been able to do something with that angle. Even though I think some of the things Russo said in that "shoot" were asstronomical, that did make for an interesting change of hands. In one fell swoop, the old guard of WCW ends, and a brand new feud begins. While Hogan will be Hogan, as seen at WMX8 -- even though he is an ass of collossal proportions, he can draw at the right place and the right time...

...too much of the guy can get stale, esp. in today's style of business.

the problem with WCW was that they gave the wrong people too much power (the same thing is happening to WWE in a sense)....

after seeing that, I wonder if Russo was somehow responsible for that great Bret Hart "shoot"-style, heel interview on RAW.
