* DumbassHasAPoint: When the WWF was going through it's creative nadir in the mid-90's, he told Vince [=McMahon=] to his face that what got over in the 80's wasn't working anymore and he needed to modernise his approach. Even Jim Cornette begrudgingly admits he was right on that front.

* ShockFatigue: A large part of what makes Russo so infamous as a booker is his notorious overindulgence in what he codified as "shocking swerves". Russo had already received much criticism for making twists that were either [[ContinuityLockout way too esoteric]] or [[AssPull just plain nonsensical]], but compounding this is how frequently he would try to pull his twists, and with the final years in [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]] being denoted by commentator Wrestling/TonySchiavone [[ItsTheBestWhateverEver "This is the most shocking swerve ever!"]] ''every week'', it's no surprise that "Fi-re Ru-sso! ''(clap clap clapclapclap)''" became such a common CrowdChant.

** Whilst the angle is his doing, Russo isn't to blame for the Immortal angle. In a ''[=ReAction=]'' interview in 2015, Russo said he knew this storyline would bomb, and was just being pressured by Hulk Hogan and Bischoff to rehash the [[Wrestling/NewWorldOrder nWo]]. When ''Vince Russo'' is getting cold feet? Chances are you shouldn't do it.
