If you're being managed by this man, get ready to go all the way to the top. If you can't talk, even better. Just shut up and let Corny have the microphone, and you'll get an entertaining promo that will elevate you to instant main event status.

He was without a doubt one of the masters of getting heel heat not just on the guys he managed, but especially on himself! His look and how he came off as an annoying bad guy manager on TV just made every fan in the crowd want to slap the guy, which was always just pure gold! He used his million dollar mic skills to excite (or incite) the crowd in all the right ways.

Overall, a great manager, an amazing promo, and an outstanding promoter who stands by and defends his principles, he is now known for his terrific analysis of the business. He was everywhere and knows everybody. He could and can always make everyone look good, the Midnight Express would be inconceivable without Cornette.

You won't find one better than James E. Cornette!
