Just from watching Cornette's shoots, while he maybe be stuck in his anti-sports entertainment ways an he'd probably push guys based solely on rasslin' skill who have no business being pushed in a sports entertainment atmosphere (kinda like WWE does anyway), he understands the basics. Things that WWE is fucking abysmal at. Things that should be common sense whether you're running an old school wrestling company or a sports entertainment company.
He understands why match outcomes should matter. He understands why having a guy job for months, become a monster for a month to build to a title match, suddenly forget how to win matches again, and repeating is fucking stupid and gets no one over. He understands why Money in the Bank the way it's being done is gets no one over and makes the title a useless prop that no one is gonna pay money to see defended. He understands why Kane chokeslamming The Undertaker through a table the week after he debuts when you've got five months to build to the match is a retarded idea.
Basically he may be stuck in the 80's but there are still fundamentals that carry over into 2014 sports entertainment. As long as 50% or more of the show is wrestling matches that fans are expected to be invested in, they're necessary.
