Indeed, back to Jim Cornette one of the worst writers in wrestling history.

Thoughts on Mantaur a character written under Cornette:

It was a rib on him from what he's talked about it. He had no idea he was even managing him, nor does he have control over characters Vince makes (outside of Kane, at least).

He doesn’t want to take responsibility for it, despite the fact that gimmick stuff started when he became head writer to work with Pritchard. Patterson wasn’t doing this, even Pritchard to a degree.

No matter who came up with it, everyone in the room deserves a bitch slap for not telling Vince no.

That company had too many yes men in the mid 90s.

You come out of a box, you’re instantly over.

I’ve heard that quote attributed to Cornette many times.

It still gets a chuckle out of me every time.

No idea, but he did pitch the Chainsaw segment.

It’s like when people say Russo is back because someone books a pole match. He loved the match, but doesn’t mean others don’t and won’t also book them.

So how do people feel about him and the Midnight Express in 1990? I think they were terribly misused and should have been treated as the best team on the roster tbh.

I think Mr. Stern does have topics about these various writers already if you guys could move this over to those though

Let Swamps enjoy his Cornette videos in peace

I was just having some fun man. I dont really care. I was just poking fun. Even the "shit stain" was what Cornette calls Russo. So its all good to me.
