Quote by -Jim Cornette

Quote by -Jim Cornette
The way that you teach wrestling is by finding good talent that you think can learn and putting them in the ring with a variety of other good talents who have experience and giving them the opportunity to pick things up.
Quote by -Jim Cornette
Every wrestling show is now designed to be the greatest show ever. In contrast, the NWA show is different. It didn't tire people out to watch, something was allowed to register. It is the exact antithesis of planned, big budget, choreographed, scripted sports entertainment, and that is what makes the show so different.
Quote by -Jim Cornette

Quote by -Jim Cornette

Modern day wrestlers are fans of the performance of wrestling instead of the concept of wrestling.
Quote by -Jim Cornette
I can stay under 215 pounds, which is pretty good for me, if I stay off the road. If I go on the road, I invariably eat garbage and start to lose my girlish figure.

The biggest thing I want to do is not travel as much as possible. I enjoy not traveling very much.
Quote by -Jim Cornette
As far as the NWA tag-team wrestling of the '80s - and I know you're talking some heavy hitters there - the first thing people will always say is The Midnight and Rock 'N' Roll Express. We invented things as we went along that people had never seen. It was always different. And it was always good.
Quote by -Jim Cornette
Old school fans are going to be shocked at just how much of the pro wrestling they grew up watching was, indeed, contrived, manipulated or, as it's called in the business, 'worked.'
Quote by -Jim Cornette
When you think that in the '50s there was wrestling and boxing - that was it. There wasn't mixed martial arts at all; there wasn't even karate in the United States.
Quote by -Jim Cornette
There's probably as many rules of thumb to wrestling as anything in the world, and then there's just as many exceptions to every one of those rules because somebody doesn't fit that thumb.
Quote by -Jim Cornette
When you are as big and strong as Strowman, WWE notices you and basically pays you to go to school. He was paid to train, has a guaranteed contract, and gets paid whether he wrestles or not. He couldn't survive in the actual wrestling business. He never had to pay his dues.

Quote by -Jim Cornette
I've had experience in management and TV and hope to be able to lend some of that to TNA and maybe persuade some wrestlers to come in this direction because of the influence I've had on their careers in the past.
Quote by -Jim Cornette
I've been a fan of one particular guy since I first saw him in 'Ring of Honor' eight years ago. He was Tyler Black then, but he's Seth Rollins now. And I think he's just the whole package.
Quote by -Jim Cornette
A lot of people say now, 'John Cena doesn't work.' Well, John Cena does the things that people go to see John Cena do, and he doesn't take a lot of risks.
Quote by -Jim Cornette
The NWA has money, it could have enough talent, and it has the resources of TBS. It just needs someone to give the company direction.
Quote by -Jim Cornette
Nobody ever went and saw The Midnight Express and thought their match was bad.
Quote by -Jim Cornette
I was a big fan of The Revival when they were in NXT. I thought they were as good as Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson.
Quote by -Jim Cornette
There's a lot of crossover between comic fans, wrestling fans and pop culture fans.
Quote by -Jim Cornette
The thing is, wrestling is the oldest form of combat known. The cavemen wrestled. And everyone in the American public can understand that.
Quote by -Jim Cornette
We all prosper when folks are more appraised of how great those matches were and how great those talents were from all of the guys who populated the NWA in the '80s.
Quote by -Jim Cornette
We got shorted when it comes to recognition for the '80s war. Everybody talks about the 'Monday Night Wars' and the 'Attitude Era,' but it was neck and neck in the '80s.
Quote by -Jim Cornette
I didn't get a chance to see Bruno Sammartino regularly because I didn't grow up in the northeast, but he came into Indianapolis in his in-between time of being the champion between '71 and '73 when he worked for Dick The Bruiser because he liked The Bruiser. I got to see him and the The Bruiser against the Valiant Brothers.
Quote by -Jim Cornette
Between the '80s with The Midnight Express and the '90s with The Heavenly Bodies, and then in the 2000s on the reunions with The Midnights, I think only Bobo Brazil and The Sheik had a longer-running rivalry.
Quote by -Jim Cornette
I spent the majority of my adult life in a business where the object is to make people believe that you believe what you say. I was good at that, right?
Quote by -Jim Cornette
They way new stars were made in WCW and WWE was by beating the established guys and getting in that mix. When you only have one established guy, that's gonna be hard.
Quote by -Jim Cornette
The reason why the tag teams are not main event level attractions in the WWE is because Vince McMahon doesn't like it and doesn't present it that way. He'd rather make individual stars.
Quote by -Jim Cornette
Even if people that I was in love with - even if Bobby Fulton inherited a billion dollars and opened All Elite Wrestling, I was never going to be the manager of The Revival on a weekly television basis ever because that would require me being on the road on a weekly basis.
Quote by -Jim Cornette
Well, I don't want to say mad, but there was 'heated' exchanges back in the closing days of OVW when I said that I was running our own business there in OVW and they said, no, we are running their storage closet. They didn't actually say that, but that was how they treated it.
Quote by -Jim Cornette
