I know that Russo gets a lot of negative heat for how he booked the WCW World belt, but I'm also irritated how he booked the Arn Anderson title, aka the World Television title. Scott Hall realizes that he doesn't get free tv dinners for holding it, so he unceremoniously drops it in a trash can. Even worse, Hacksaw digs it out of the trash and 'defends' a title he never won. I don't even want to think about the WCW tag team reign of Judy Bagwell and Rick Steiner.
And now we see the X-Division belt hotshotted around...how long before that belt gets tossed in the can or put around the waist of someones mama?
Maybe I'm worrying about nothing...

I would like to see Austin Starr v. Alex Shelley become the big X feud for the belt soon.

No, that's a legit worry. One of the strong points of TNA has been its ability to at least make the X belt mean something. Over the history of the company, almost all the truly memorable matches have been over the X Title.
The X Division wa ssor tof TNA's "ROH_lite"
So if Russo is going to bounce the belt around damn near every week just to further his storylines it's going to affect the division. it was bad enough Senshi didn't even get a rematch, but for Sabnin to lose the belt on his first defence, and then AJ lose it on HIS first defense....
Bad times.

Russo is the perfect example of someone who was elevated far beyond his qualifications by just being in the right place at the right time. No one has ever been able to convince me that Russo has even a shred of talent worthy of the red carpet he gets from wrestling's inner circles, nor has he even shown me once that he understands booking or even wrestling.
Russo is where he is today because he was involved with the Monday Night Wars era. I have worked for bosses who made their fortunes because they got hired by this company or that company during the Dot Com Boom.
Some of them know what they're doing and deserve the money and respect they've received. Others were just hired at the right place, right time and have no business running a McDonalds.
Russo falls into the latter category.
Half the people on this board could do a better job at booking. As far as storylines go, Russo has never understood that sometimes less is more.
Thanks to Russo the closest we'll get to pro wrestling in ten years is UFC. And, even then, that worm will probably still find a job. All because McMahon took a shine to him during a spike in business. With the hungry talent WWE had back then, an orangutang could've booked for McMahon and gotten a 4+ rating.
But even an orangutang would've understood more about wrestling than Russo.
