Jim Ross – 'Jim Cornette Is Great, I Miss What He Did'
Today at 02:11 AM
Jim Cornette may be a controversial figure in the world of professional wrestling, but Jim Ross misses the legendary manager being a part of the business.
On a recent edition of his “Grilling JR” podcast, Ross wished a happy birthday to Cornette and praised the veteran’s work in wrestling. He said,
“Happy birthday Corny, he’s still brilliant. There’s no doubt, most brilliant manager I’ve ever been around, he and Paul Heyman. I had a lot of fun working with those guys, but Corny is special, there’s no doubt he’s very special.
“I just love the guy, I know he’s controversial, and he stirs up the s**t, but that’s the business he’s in right now… it’s insane to say that, but I miss a lot of the things Cornette did. He was great on the booking committees, always had ideas, and believe it or not he added logic to what we were doing because he understood the business.”
Ross later added that he doesn’t mind Cornette being controversial as he still contributes to professional wrestling via his podcast.
Cornette parted ways with the NWA in 2019 over a comment many saw as playing up racial stereotypes surrounding black people and fried chicken.
Cornette has also spawned controversy on his podcast and has routinely criticized wrestlers including Kenny Omega and Chuck Taylor.
