Opinion: 5 things Jim Cornette ought to do for a better 2020

#3: Find a creative outlet outside of professional wrestling

Professional wrestling is not the end-all, be-all for the majority of people working within professional wrestling. Countless writers for WWE and other companies have transitioned into working on film and television projects -- Brian Gewirtz, as one notable example, given his long-term working relationship with The Rock and his Seven Bucks Productions -- just as many wrestlers have moved into acting. In other words, entertainment is entertainment.

Long-time listeners of Jim Cornette's podcast ought to pick up on Cornette's appreciation of all sorts of entertainment and pop culture. For starters, he once quizzed co-host Brian Last on the recording artists behind each of the singles he had recently found within an old music collection. Cornette has also been known to repeat Rodney Dangerfield punchlines on command, and arguably knows as many jokebook one-liners as Jerry Lawler, if not more of them.

Beyond podcasting every week for years, Cornette has written multiple books, so he is obviously not afraid of a major creative undertaking. As the guy can tell a story and has a major appreciation for history, why doesn't he help make a documentary about a person or cause he cares about? Or write a screenplay?

The key is that he is not only a well-thought and motivated individual, but also a financially-independent person without children who can clearly do what he wants when he wants. So given that lack of limitations, there is nothing to stop him from creating something that doesn't limit from the political-correctness that has gotten in the way for him on recent projects.
