>>5334189People's champion was from Cornette who gave it to him at an event in Louisville where Ali came to see Cornette because he was a fan of boomer shit and that talking style, and Cornette talked to Ali's family about giving a guy the nickname and they said they loved it. Cornette never took credit for anything he gave to wrestlers, like the situp that Carder and Kane do, which he taught them, or the People's Elbow which he used to do as a heel and then gave to Rock, same as Rock's talking style, hand gestures, giving people nicknames and also looking down and pulling down his glasses were all Cornette things. Rock then made up some bullshit story about 1996 or something and taking it then Ali telling him he loved it but he never even used it until Louisville and there was no way Ali knew who tf he was or wanted Rocky Maiva to use his name before that.
