Russo has always been way smarter than what people give him credit for. The fact of the matter is, hardly anyone who bitched / bitches about him could do 1/10th of what he did - and yet they seem to feel that they know more than he does.
No one was in the meetings / office except Russo and the folks he dealt with, and the majority of the people bitter against him who are on the inside are only bitter because he told them the truth about their careers / positions.
YES - he did make mistakes, like having airtime go to Ed Ferrara every week, but he did give airtime and pushes to people like Booker T, Kid Romeo, Kidman, and others who never got a chance before, and opened WCW's doors to guys like AJ Styles, EZ Money, Mike Modest and others.
Bottom line is, Russo is misunderstood, and did a well job with what he had to work with. You can't put one man on the Titanic with one of his hands tied behind his back and expect him to save everyone on the ship.
