You know who else had a major contribution to WWE's success in the late 90s? Vince Russo. Notice he didnt make your Wall of Fame (doesnt fit the narrative, I know). Did you see what happened to him after he left Vince's wing? I did too, it wasnt pretty. Ive never once said "Vince is responsible for all the good and none of the bad". If I was an American, I would sue you for liable. But I'm a good natured Canadian, so I will let it pass. But hey, it upped your word count, so well done lad. NXT has been reported as Triple H's baby. Of course the NXT Triple H is a different person than the Dirt Sheet villain Triple H who buries everyone so he can push himself. I bet he's just building NXT so that he can book himself against the entire roster and Pedigree them all. That aside, the issue that gets lost is that NXT is a company wide effort. Triple H has said himself that NXT is meant to target a different audience from RAW and Smackdown. Quite frankly, booking to satisfy the passionate WWE fans is easier, but it likely wont appeal to the wider audience. Thats why its on the WWE Network, which is essentialy made up of all passionate fans. At the end of the day, if Vince thought it was crap, he wouldn't allow it on his Network. But he does, and he pushes it like crazy, and allows it to grow. Most interviews I've read of guys who were real players in WWE and would have had extensive experience with Vince usually have nothing but positive things to say about him.

Cornette came up with the Hell in a Cell idea, he was largely responsible for protecting Kane during the first six months of his career. He, Jim Ross and Bruce Pritchard would hang out with Vince at his house and block out the entire show. After leaving the main roster, he went down to OVW, where he helped craft basically anyone that came up from OVW at that point in time until Heyman took over in 2005.

His plans for ROH were basically what Triple H did with NXT, except Sinclair didn't commit to them. What a bad idea, huh?

Cornette and Russo are very different people with very different attitudes to the industry. It's not a case of not fitting the narrative, it's a case of them playing different roles in them.

You're throwing out random things that Cornette apparently did. Do you have sources on this? Please please dont say the sheets or Cornette himself.

Ask Kevin Owens about Cornette as a booker/person in charge. Guys like you like and respect Owens, right?

You asked for things Cornette did and I gave them to you. Yes, Cornette is lying about the documented time he spent working for WWE. You are a hack troll and a cancer to logic.

And while I like Owens as a performer, he does seem like he would have been a twat to work with on the independent scene. I believe Cornette's side of that story more than Owens -- who I believe tells the truth as he sees it, but is just as stubborn as Corny and probably more of a mark for himself.
