Jim Cornette Slams Shawn Michaels for Not Liking How Vader Worked, His Thoughts on Tammy Lynn Sytch’s Adult Film Career, and More

The Squared Circle Subreddit recently had Jim Cornette take part in a Reddit AMA session. You can check out the complete AMA thread at the above link. Below are some highlights.

Cornette on if people should get out of wrestling if they don’t want to be world champion: “F–k the “get out” statement–everyone should try as hard as they can, but anyone who has something to offer and respects the sport should be allowed to participate.”

Cornette on who he’d start a promotion with tomorrow: “I hate to insult anyone by leaving someone out, and I don’t watch much modern wrestling or NXT, but Jay Lethal, Briscoes, Adam Cole, AJ, Samoa Joe, Bobby Roode, Storm (James OR Lance:), etc.”

Cornette on why Vader was dropped down the WWE card in 1996: “[Shawn] Michaels was a p—y and didn’t like working with Leon [White] because he was too stiff”

His thoughts on Tammy Lynn Sytch’s [aka Sunny] adult film career: “I think of Tammy as a protégé and loved Chris, I just hope she gets paid and is happy.”

Cornette on why Lesnar is such a big attraction: “Lesnar is the biggest box office attraction in the sport because he’s one o the few, maybe only guy, fans still believe is real. Taker is the best gimmick in history. Cena and Rock draw because of their incredible promos and work ethic. Mick Foley too.These are the last guys that got over before talent’s strong points started getting smothered by the comedy writers who think they’re the important part of the show. And HHH has always been the guy who worked with the guy who drew the money.”
