He was a good manager. He's failed at everything else in wrestling but claims to be an expert

He didn't fail at fucking your mom underneath the bleachers at the Hillybilly Bowl Arena in Hickville Bumfuck in the 80s.
He didn't fail by beginning to drink everytime you cried, but he made that audible exasperated sigh he makes when he was disappointed in you, which was often.
He allows the Midnight Express to crash on the couch inside your head that he lives in, rent free.
All while cracking open the coldest Diet Sprite available.
And after all that, he doesn't think about you at all.

He's a libtard and a boomer at the same time. Can there be a worst combination than that? Oh wait, there's one! He is a libtard, a boomer and a cuck who married a hambeast that blackmails men into fucking her while he watches.
All of that could be forgiven if he wasn't such a boring prick. The only wrestling he likes is 40 minutes of chain wrestling holds and he unironically thinks daniel bryan and punk are the GOATs.
There is not a single thing redeemable about this man.

SMW was good, WWF was good when he was there, OVW was good and made tons of stars in record time, TNA was better when he was there. He's the number one podcast now and still talked about constantly despite sitting at home all day.

Unlike Meltzer, Cornette actually put his money where his mouth is and threw his own hat in to make his own wrestling promotion. And it was done as a progenitor to Ohio Valley Wrestling which produced some of the biggest stars of the early 2000s all thanks to Jim which he never gets enough credit for. And this was after spending almost 20 years with two of the largest promotions in the country along with a majority of their smaller subsidiaries. He managed, refereed, commentated and participated in matches for much of that tenure. Jim earned his right to sit on the sidelines and comment and critique wrestling because he was passionate enough and loved it to be involved with it in such a way since childhood while Melter's credentials of being the only legit journalist to cover wrestling which is something no other journalist will ever do so that's why he is in the postion he's in. Meltz is a grifter, Jim isn't. Jim cares enough about the fans in that the product is as legitmate as it can get. Dave cares enough to get a paycheque or subscription to mumble things change and give his star rating.

He wasn't head of talent relations, he wasn't responsible for who they hired and sent to OVW. In fact in a class which had Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton, John Cena, Batista and Shelton Benjamin, the one he pegged as the next huge star and the one he pushed as the top guy of OVW was Doug Basham.

Things Jim Cornette has been fired for:

>Fired from TNA for screaming at Vince Russo.
>Wasn't fired from ROH, but they replaced him as booker.

That's it.

>>fired from every booking job
No, he wasn't

>>fired from every commentary job
This claim is beyond retarded. There is absolutely no credible information available to support this. The closest to this is him resigning after the NWA controversy.

And as for Smoky Mountain failing, Well, color me shocked that a shoestring-budget, niche passion project, exclusively targeting the Appalachian region of the United States, wouldn't manage to pull in billions of viewers and rake in mountains of cash

It gets so much worse. He was building around guys like Mike fucking Bennett & Mike fucking Mondo while pushing the Headbangers as serious deadly heels in 20-fucking-12.

Meanwhile, the likes of Colt Cabana & Dark Order are ones he swore would never make it.

Smoky mountain is far and away the best American promotion of the 90s. Get a clue, kid.
I think you need to be asking yourself why you’re having such a triggered response instead of feeling confident in your own opinions.

You're a retard. I'm pointing out the obvious, if you aim small, you get small results. It wasn't trying to go head-to-head with the industry giants and with its limited reach and appeal it wasn't surprising that it failed, you retard.
