Snippet:

Colt is a fine mid-card wrestler, an average look and an oK at best promo, he was perfect for WWE and I have to assume he pissed someone off there--he was NOT a fit for ROH as we were trying to present an athletic, serious, credible style of pro wrestling and funny doesn't draw money. We didn't offer him a contract because he didn't fit those plans, and he has made a big deal out of it, we never said this publicly until he made it an issue-personally, I don't think his comedy is funny and I don't think anyone trying to make a career in pro wrestling should make fun of it at the same time, a la his bullshyt "$5 wrestling" with the a$$hole who runs Highspots. I have no use for that type of horseshyt--

bout to eat good off of this...

Craziest backstage incident--Shawn Michaels running his dikklicker at Bret Hart and getting snatched baldheaded for it--Shawn couldn't whip Bret if Bret was asleep in a straightjacket--

Pause.

Who do you think will be the next big star in the world of professional wrestling?

If there was any justice, it would be the Briscoe Brothers, they are possibly my favorite talents inside/outside the ring,

To be fair, he did ask another question before that.

cornette is such a polarizing figure. He has some views I couldnt agree with more, and he has a bunch of views I couldnt disagree with more. I just think he would do himself, and others, a great service by realizing that its not 1986 anymore

Jim Cornette is like the wrestling version of AVGN

both are whiny nerds that can't let go of the past

I get a good laugh from them though

If you could give Jim herd and Vince Russo positive credit for anything what would it be?

even Cornette might buy WWE Network

Hi Jim,

Firstly, I'm a massive fan of yours and would like to thank you very much for doing this AMA.

My question would be, do you have any idea why the WWE haven't put the SMW library to any relevant or good use? It seems such a shame to waste footage of one of the last great territories especially when a lot of their stars from the past and present have appeared in Smokey Mountain in one form or another.

Secondly, do you have any more plans to work with Sean Oliver and Kayfabe Commentaries other than the recent Breaking Kayfabe video and the upcoming Timeline WCW?

Thanks again!

Hopefully more SMW footage will be seen via the Network, I can't imagine why anyone would pay to watch the new shyt, if they put the old Florida library up in quantity I'LL buy the fukkin thing!

I will do more with KFC and we are discussing ideas--keep watching!

He finally came to terms with that in his last shoot interview.

 

[THE 101]

Have you spoken with Ed Ferrara since his "Oklahoma" character? I remember you warned that you would beat the shyt out of him after that happened.

Cornette: I saw him in Nashville in 2002--I had promised the promoter I wouldn't punch him, but I didn't promise I wouldn't try to get HIM to punch ME first--I told him what I thought of him for doing that to JR and I spit in his face in front of 30 witnesses, and the gutless p*ssy did nothing. That's what he deserved for making fun of a near career-ending disability suffered by a guy who has more talent in his finger than Ferrara in his whole body, he should have never been allowed in our business in the first place. If anyone sees him, tell him Jim Cornette STILL says he's a gutless sack of shyt.

I think Cornette could still be a valuable member of a creative team for a company. I just would not want him as a head booker.
