TNA releases Jim Cornette
- TNA released BG James today. James had been working as an agent and had been receiving good reports from the talent. James has been with the company for almost the entire existence of TNA.
- TNA has also released Jim Cornette. Cornette has been working in the production truck at the Impact tapings lately as well as helping out the younger talent. Cornette has been with the company since 2006. ![]() |

I think they probably chalked up Cornette's release to creative differences between him and Dixie Carter or something like that, although I don't pay all that much attention to ANYTHING TNA so I could be wrong, but that's what I thought I had heard about that situation.

Cornette appearing in ROH under Pearce's booking could be horrible.

TNA released Jim Corneete? Wow, you can almost hear their last shred of credibility as a wrestling promotion fade away.

Wait, 450. Did you just use the words "TNA" and "credibility" in the same post? If so, show me evidence of any "credibility" "TNA" has ever had.

I haven't seen Cornette since way back when he managed Yokozuna, Vader, and I think Owen Hart too.
If he came back to WWF, I would probably start watching wrestling occasionally again, just to see him on the mic. ![]() Love Weapon X's comment, I would also hire Cornette. ![]() |

I'm sure I would watch if it wasn't always so consistently God-awful.

I still can't get over some of their atrocious mainstays. The six sided ring, the PPV where every match is a cage match, the reverse ladder match that is reminiscent of setting up a game of Mouse Trap... I'm not taking anything away from their talent. It's just in my eyes everything is horribly misused. I swear you can go into the writers' kitchens and they'll use hammers for can openers. Nothing is used properly. |

i'm confident that TNARick will get to the bottom of this after batmanofprowrestling receives his next e-mail from russo.

Getting rid of Cornette was flat out stupid.
I pray this leads the way for Heyman to come in, if they have got rid of Dutch, the only person in creative is Russo, and I fear for all of us if that is true, as I've actually enjoyed TNA alot recently |

I look forward to seeing what Jim Cornette does next. The man has way too good a mind for the business to not find work somewhere. I also like that changes are coming in TNA. Now if we can just get rid of Russo, and bring in Paul Heyman.

I remember cornette was the figurehead that wanted JOe vs Angle for all of the titles... so I welcome this change.

I wish WWE would sign Cornette as an on-air talent only. He would make a great GM, or even lead a resurgence of actual managers.

I'm no huge fan of Cornette's, but he was probably the best wrestling mind affiliated with TNA.

The only reason I wouldn't want him booking WWE is that he's proven that he doesn't work well with them, and I doubt it would last. It would be like flying over a man crawling through the desert and dropping a gallon jug of water to him, then flying away.

Jim Cornette made the following comment on his TNA release today over at his Cornette Collectables Facebook Page:
"Thanks everyone for your kind words but, we are REALLY OK about all of this. Gives us more time to make QUALITY products for Cornette's Collectibles and devote our time to wrestling we actually enjoy being apart of." |
