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

#5: Do an updated shoot interview

As alluded to multiple times within this article, Jim Cornette's shoot interviews are consistently entertaining. The man speaks his mind, and when guided in a cohesive fashion by a focused host, it can be hard to stop watching.

I am not aware of Cornette doing a new shoot-style interview within the past few years. Sure, he's been doing podcasts regularly, popping up on other people's podcasts occasionally, and was part of the earlier-mentioned VICELAND documentary series. But there hasn't been a focused sit-down chat about his work with MLW or NWA nor his 2017 return to TNA.

Although the idea of a "shoot" gives some wrestling fans the heebie-jeebies -- especially after reading Sean Oliver's excellent memoir titled Kayfabe: Stories You're Not Supposed to Hear From A Pro Wrestling Production Company Owner -- there is always going to be that devoted sect of the wrestling fan base that really wants to hear "the truth" directly from the source. That same interview also gives the subject the chance to directly answer questions from fans.

Love him or hate him, the key is that Jim Cornette has worked at a high-level within the professional wrestling business longer than many wrestling fans have been alive. So no matter how you feel about him personally, here's to hoping that Cornette will use his 2020 to help make wrestling a more positive, interesting and exciting year alike for fans, wrestlers and all others following the business.
