#7 Jim Cornette
Jim Cornette was a huge wrestling fan from early childhood, so much so that he climbed atop his steep roof at ten years of age and installed a fifteen-foot antenna just so he could catch as much wrestling shows as possible.

Cornette would serve many functions in pro wrestling, as timekeeper, booker, and announcer, but it's his time as a manager that made him a legend. Cornette's gift of gab was a boon to anyone he managed, and he coined many phrases that are used outside of the wrestling industry such as 'hitting someone so hard their grandchildren will be born dizzy' and 'that guy is so ugly he has to ambush breakfast!'
Jim Cornette managed the Midnight Express in multiple promotions and has also worked for a variety of wrestling companies like Ohio Valley Wrestling behind the scenes.
Why he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame: Cornette's contributions to the pro wrestling industry go far beyond his role as a manager and mouthpiece--and he was one of the best managers of all time.
