Well he obviously lost a fair bit more than the internet fans. Figures indicate when Russo was in charge house show figurees dropped from 4,500 to 1,800. Starrcade the companies biggest event in 2000 earned a 0.11, 5% of the 1997 buy rate. 95% of the PPV audience was gone. I am not saying that this was all done by Russo but he had a major impact in it. Russo also lost $60 million dollars in only 12 months. He may say that the Arquette incident was great business but you want people talking of the company positively. You don't want people saying what the f***. Why the hell is he the champ. He may say it was a stroke of brilliance but the figures identify that this made people give up on WCW just about more than anything. PPV number for Slamboree, the event that Arquette defended the title, 0.14.
