Trivia
- Russo was featured on the cover of the Wrestlecrap book The Death of WCW along with Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. Although the book portrays him in a negative light, he's been known to autograph copies if approached.
- His booking of Jushin Liger losing and regaining the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship on WCW Monday Nitro is not recognized by New Japan Pro Wrestling in the title lineage.
- Used an instrumental version of Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" as entrance music in WCW.
- He is an avid fan of the San Francisco Giants and would occasionally wear a Giants jersey on WCW TV.
- Is known for matches which are unique. Some are bizzare, such as the Judy Bagwell on a forklift match. It featured the mother of Buff Bagwell being tied to a forklift rather than a pole. Other matches include the Fight for the Right Tournament that was used during November 2006 in TNA.
