TNA News TNA personality Jim Cornette says he and creative team member Vince Russo have agreed to disagree, explains why Vince McMahon doesn't care for managers By Jason Powell Jul 12, 2009 - 11:22 AM Email This Article | Printer Friendly Page Send Us News & Results | Back to Main Listing Jim Cornette commented on working with Vince Russo in a recent interview with Kevin Eck of The Baltimore Sun. "We have totally different styles and, no, I have no input in booking," Cornette said. "Because we do have totally different styles, it would be counterproductive to the company. I will say nothing good or bad or anything else about Vince Russo or his booking because we have agreed to disagree [laughs]." Cornette also commented on why managers have been phased out. "Part of it is Vince McMahon, Cornette said. "He decided that Sable, because they smashed her over despite the total lack of talent or personality, now all managers should look good in bikinis, which immediately eliminated me and Paul Bearer out of the equation. It became the dressing at ringside. "Vince feels that you put the attention on the star and the personality. People follow the trends, and the trends at the highest level were to not have any male managers. Male managers were heat magnets. There is no heat anymore in wrestling."

As for the manager issue, I disagree with McMahon's take on the matter. Good managers don't take away from the star and the personality, they enhance it. Other interview topics include Cornette's great Midnight Express book, whether he shares advice for the young wrestlers in TNA, and the state of the pro wrestling industry. HELP SUPPORT DOT NET!
