"Like a patient etherized upon a table. . ." Kenny Omega on Cornette.

Trash TV being the fad of the day is what lead to the height of wrestling. When something is in fashion, copying it doesn't make you a creative genius.

Then make another attitude era

Then make another attitude era

I'm sure when the pop cultural taste spins back around, someone will make a great deal of money off it.

I'm sure when the pop cultural taste spins back around, someone will make a great deal of money off it.

It's 2017 and fans can't stop reminiscing about the GOATsso penned attitude era, everything has been a blur since except a few choice feuds involving Shawn Michaels

But keep hating him

OVW had one class of super talents at a time when WWE had no choice but to pull up young guys and push them to the moon. The Brock/Cena/Batista/Orton (and I guess Shelton) class was unique to OVW, as the rest of the time it was dudes like Nick Dinsmore/Bashams/Rob Conway/Rico type dudes. You could really argue that Cornette didn't do much with the class of 2002, because all of those dudes got called up super early (arguably not ready at all in the cases of Cena and Batista) and were forced to sink or swim on the main roster.

Cornette seeing that those guys could potentially be big stars for WWE a few years down the road shouldn't be treated the same as training them or getting them to that spot.

Ding Ding Ding.

Not to mention, all those guys found stardom as characters and in roles so hilariously far from what Cornette had them doing.

The only person who deserves credit for those guys is the guy who recruited and signed them, Jim Ross.

I don't really like Cornette but everything he said about Russo is true

Cornette did a pretty damn good job running developmental for the WWE. In fact, you could even argue WWE Developmental hasn't even been that great ever since they fired Cornette.

Besides the 4 Horsewomen & Alexa Bliss, NXT hasn't actually developed a main event star that wasn't already huge on the Indy's or overseas. Maybe Roman Reigns? That's really it

Bray perhaps....Corbin and Strowman on the rise...big cass and enzo were on the way but derailed....American Alpha...

All of those guys are mid-card right now, but they have potential.

That beef would carry over into the afterlife

that "Halo on a Pole" match

Think St. Peter and them would actually catch Corny when it came time to bump off the scaffold, though?
