I'm glad you specified D'Lo Brown. The thing is, people often cite this quality of Russo's as a good one, but if everybody is doing something "important," then what is truly important? It took me a long while to come down off the idea that angles need to always be happening and guys always need to be doing something in order to stay relevant.

Cornette gave D'Lo his break in Smoky Mountain, so I credit Corny for D'Lo more anyway.
