Of course, anyone who’s listened to Jim Cornette before knows that he seldom thinks he’s wrong about anything. that would doom him to working in front of four or five hundred people in a rec center the rest of his life. Or crashing through four tables or generally doing his own thing regardless of what the people employing him wanted him to do. And wanting to super kick the five-foot tall girl ring announcer in the face for a high spot. He didn’t want to do what you asked him to do without endless argument and insisting on going too far. The problem is, he goes too far and he didn’t want to listen to anybody. Pretty good athlete underneath there somewhere to be carrying all that excess weight. We made him world champion and he cuts a great promo and he had great matches.

We made him the Ring of Honor World Champion for a year for Christ’s sake. “I guess it bears repeating one more time what my whole gripe or point of conflict has been with Kevin Steen over the past few years since I worked with him in Ring of Honor. And everybody just tweeted the picture and said, ‘See? See? See?’ As big a deal as anything in wrestling is these days. “Apparently Kevin Steen - Kevin Owens - did an angle with John Cena, whose the biggest wrestling star in the world, so this is a big deal when you do something like that on national television. Seeing Kevin Owens turn up on Raw got the bear-pokers shoving their sticks in Cornette’s face on what he calls “the Twitter machine.” Here’s a brief excerpt from the Jim Cornette interview, which originally appeared on WLW Radio. Apparently, when Cornette was booking for Ring of Honor at the time of Owens’ star-making run, Jim was unconvinced that the brash young superstar would ever make it.

That phenomenon recently came back to haunt him in the form of Kevin Owens’ (aka Kevin Steen’s) success. Jim Cornette is a man of opinions, and with the career that he’s had, most wrestling fans are more than happy to listen to him.īut there is a subsection of Cornette haters out there apparently who love to poke fun at the wrestling personality when he’s wrong.
