Jim Cornette recently appeared on the Undisputed Wrestling Show and took several shots at TNA. Check out the highlights:

On TNA director of creative writing Dave Lagana: "It's like they are on f---ing acid. I know Dave Lagana, I like Dave Lagana, would never let him close to the f---ing book. He doesn't know how to book wrestling because the only experience he had was booking 'sports entertainment.'"

On John Gaburick: "The f---ing goof they hired to be the head of their creative, the Big John character (Gaburick), was an out of work friend of Kevin Dunn's who gave a pity job to to produce Tough Enough. He's never booked a f---ing fart after a dinner at Taco Bell."

On creative writer Matt Conway: "Matt Conway is the guy who Dixie (Carter) put on the creative team when it was Jeff (Jarrett) and Dutch (Mantel) and (Vince) Russo, I'm sorry I threw up a little in my mouth, because they weren't telling her what was going on. So she took some stooge who worked in the office, he's a fine kid, but he don't know shit from apple butter about how to f---ing book wrestling. She put him on the creative team so he could stooge to her about what they were talking about behind her back."

On the state of wrestling today: "If I stop to dwell on the state of wrestling today, it was literally making me an insane person. That is why I just ignore it for the most part. If you care about the business and if you want to see the business succeed, the things that people do that are the people who are in charge will drive you insane."

On Christy Hemme: "I can't say this without laughing out loud! They just put Christy Hemme on the f---ing booking team! What the f---, she couldn't book Lassie at a pet shop! She's a nice girl, but what the f---!"

Tell 'em Jim! Although to be fair, I don't watch TNA and can't really say whether the creative team deserves to be lampooned or not at the moment. However, putting a Diva/Knockout with no booking experience or success on the creative team seems like a boneheaded move. It's always fun watching Cornette go off, right or wrong.

You misread my reply I used sarcasm. Let me break it down. He talks down every promotions booking as if he is the greatest booker on the planet. Yet he couldn't even cut the mustard at ROH.

I lol @ current TNA as much as the next guy, but Cornette just seems bitter and butthurt. Seems like he's just making a gimmick out of his 'ranting' or what have you.

I got where you were coming from, I was just eager to use sarcasm myself.

I do think he knocks WWE a bit too much and his constant complaining about "sports entertainment" is starting to grate on me. I would think he'd be happy to see a guy he worked with in ROH (Seth Rollins/Tyler Black) find success thus far in WWE, but he seems too bitter at times to appreciate anything they do.

Well, Cornette probably hasn't watched WWE in years, so I'm not sure he knows what's going on. I did enjoy this rant very much though.

Good ol' dumbass Jim Cornette. He thinks he's better than everybody else in pro wrestling, yet he is jobless and no Top 5 promotions want him anywhere near them, and even when he had job, the product he was booking was the worst ever.

Russo > Cornette

I'm unsure whether his enthusiasm should be mistaken for insanity or not.
His rants or humorous only because they have an empirical base.
Cornette's Lesnar rant is absolutely legendary.

I could listen to him talk for hours, but it doesn't mean I trust his opinion or value him as a top tier executive to anything. He's hilarious and hates on everyone, but i've never heard him take blame for anything.
