Cornette is basically the Piers Morgan of wrestling. Always trying to say something controversial to stay relevant or have people discussing him. It's a shame really, as you can't argue too much against his contributions to wrestling during his tenure. He might accidentally stumble on a good point every so often, but on the whole it's all desperate. To end up with what he's become is sad really.

What makes me wonder about how much of Cornette is an act is that surely he realizes he's helping the careers and relevancy of all the new crop he loves to shit on all the time? Reactionary Anti-Cornetteism is a very real thing now. The more he shits on all these people, the more fans they seem to gain each week simply because nobody wants to be a fucking Cornette.

Joey Ryan has for 5+ years dined out on what would/should have been a forgotten comedy spot on a nowhere indie because Jim refused to forget. The Bucks made not listening to Cornette their entire gimmick and got huge from it. Jim crying about Omega & Ibushi wrestling blow-up dolls probably put DDT, Kenny and the modern Japanese scene on a lot of people's radars. Marko Stunt and Orange Cassidy are talking points seemingly each week and it feels like the vast majority of wrestling fans know them now, basically because of Corny. 

He's willed his dreaded AEW into existence and keeps people talking about it by having a whinge about what they're getting wrong every single week at this point. Part of him must surely know he is helping these people.

Well that would tie in with what was mentioned a few pages back about him saying to the Bucks or whoever it was that they could draw money from their 'rivalries' 

Other than him turning up on AEW and cutting a shoot promo I don't see what they could do with him, it'd just be a pissed off manager bringing people in to take out his enemies, which wrestling has done for decades to ever decreasing returns anyway

What's Cornette got against Dan Spivey?

Cornette told Ole Anderson that the Sky Scrapers, namely Spivey were working like the Road Warriors and not selling any of the Midnight Express' offence. Ole took Sid and Spivey in to a meeting a long with Cornette (who was a junior member of the booking committee) and told them to let The Midnight get some heat by selling and at the end of the meeting everyone shook hands apart from Spivey who blanked Cornette and refused to shake his hand.

Since then Cornette has on numerous occasions buried the shit out of him at every opportunity. This is an exact quote from the Experience last year:

"Danny Spivey was trying to work like the Road Warriors when he was broken down physically, looked like shit, his work was bland and looked like shit, he was bland and looked like shit, his promos were bland and looked like shit".

It's a minor miracle really that there are not a bunch of stories out there about him having his face smashed in by someone he's gobbed off to.

I can’t imagine anyone who would gain anything from it. He’s an old man ranting about the world passing him by. Nobody gains any Big Boy Points by battering him, and he’s mates with loads of the old-timers who are still about — you’d not get a warm welcome from Undertaker and Jericho if you’d beaten up Jim Cornette.

Plus, most of his targets don’t take wrestling seriously anyway, so they’re not going to get SHOOT RAGE over him. And if they did, he’d just sue them. He even mentions that in his rants, that he wouldn’t be scared to say all the same shit to Braun Strowman face to face, because if he got a kicking for it he’d be quids in.

I mostly meant from his earlier days. For someone who has apparently never been shy about going off on one you would have thought that there would be one story about him getting a slap backstage.

Yeah no one's bothering in 2020. No one wants that on his CV, best to ignore or just take the piss out of him.
