majority of you guys like him so I'm def gonna watch some of his shoot interviews. 1997 timeline by kayfabe commentaries. buy it. I haven't seen many Cornette shoots, but this one is a classic. What with him being on the creative team and all at the time, it's a fascinating look into one of the more revolutionary years in the company's history from his perspective.

I like Cornette, i think what puts some people off is he has a lot to say and when you rip some people you better be able to back it up with fisticuffs and i dont think Jimmy could lol.

Well I just spent a lil over an hour watching Cornette shoot videos in my office at work, and I must say that you guys turned me. Very intelligent, witty, brash, and swears a lot. Everything I like in a guy. Great stories, some hilarious stuff, and awesome inside the ropes material.
Successful thread for me anyways

nope sorry........ Cornette is GREAT. and he wasnt out of touch with what people wanted in the AE either.that is a LUDICROUS assertion.watch his shoot on 97. I never said he was out of touch. I wouldn't know personally. I am just stating what has been said about him by guys from that era, Vince Russo specifically. According to Russo, Jim Cornette was one of the most outspoken critics of Russo's writing style and edgy stories, many of which were a focal point of the Attitude Era.

Yeah, because Russo was a wrestling genius that was in touch with the audience...lol Look at what he did to WCW. If it wasn't for Vince McMahon, he would've killed the WWF with his terrible ideas.

According to Russo, Jim Cornette was one of the most outspoken critics of Russo's writing style and edgy stories, many of which were a focal point of the Attitude Era. never said you did say that........whoever that statement comes from is not to be believed.....thats all man. Cornette hates Russo because A)he takes credit for all the great AE ideas......DX,(HBK/Vince)Letting Austin be himself(prichard/Vince/JR),putting 3:16 on a shirt(kevin Dunn) etc etc.note he doesnt credit himself with these ideas.......he merely says they WERENT Russos.and I have seen the Insiders shoot......according to Russo he invented every good thing during AE and tried to stop the bad........the man is incapable of talking sense at this point. B)like so many others he describes Russo as an "idiot sauvant"(prob spelled that wrong)he and others have routinely said that if Russo had 150 ideas in 2 hours maybe 3 of them could be workable.......thats why Vinnie could use him and he needed Vinnie as a filter. C)he hates him for the way Russo left WWF for WCW.done it over the phone....Russo denies this but too many have confirmed this to be true. I will also add Russo DID come up with the excellent ideas to add the NAO to DX after WM14 & have Jenna jameson in Venis vignettes.....BUT he had to clear the NAO with HBK and Vince....he wasnt the power player he made himself out to be.

From face to face experience (not chatting to fans on the internet) a lot of the hate comes from the fact he rips into some peoples favorite wrestlers, which people can actually take quite personally.
Looking at the HBK apologists the most when i say that.

And he's not out of line for saying that. HBK was a real bunghole and hard to deal with for a long time.
