Was Russo Involved at All With the Austin Hit&Run Storyline?

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

I know he left about a month earlier, but since angles were often set up ahead of time back then (even if a lot of it was and seeemed like last minute changes) I was wondering if he had any part in thinking up or writing this storyline? I doubt it, but I'm not 100 percent sure. Also, whether he was or wasn't if he stayed with the WWF how do you think he would have booked the hit and run storyline? I just think it would be neat for him to write a storyline that could have a literal swerve which would make sense

He wrote stuff up to SSlam, I believe, which they used for that show and a bit beyond.

But his plots and stories were mainly done well before the time SSeries came about.

Knowing Russo he'd claim that he did

I think he was gone at this point.

Russo invented the internet.

Austin would have ran over himself

Not sure, because he may have had some stuff planned because he's talked about ideas he had for the Test and Stephanie wedding, which happened after Survivor Series.

I'm pretty sure they only came up with the hit and run as a way to explain Austin's absence, because he needed neck surgery and would be gone for 9 months.

It's highly unlikely that Russo was involved with it at all.

Are you sure he was gone? All that Mark Henry-Mae Young garbage sure smells like Russo...
