Jim Cornette on thin ice. Again

A decision has not yet been made on Jim Cornette's future with WWE after an incident at last night's OVW tapings in Louisville.

 

Cornette slapped Johnny Geo Basco backstage numerous times after Geo Basco laughed during what was supposed to be a serious scary angle.

 

As part of Marty Wright's new WWE persona as The Boogey Man, Cornette had introduced the character as a dangerous man, citing a worked criminal record and a background as being a sociopathical liar (off his "liar" nickname), citing he had been kicked out of the "Tough Enough" competition for lying (true) and based on a background check (untrue).

 

Wright did a run-in during the show, and Geo Basco, in front of the fans, started laughing at Wright instead of acting scared.

 

Cornette lost his temper, began yelling, and allegedly slapped him several times. The general feeling of those who were there, as Cornette's actions were witnessed by dozens, was that he was right in yelling at the guy, because he had messed up a major angle, but the slapping couldn't be defended.

 

Unlike with JBL, whose striking injured someone while Cornette didn't damage Geo Basco, Cornette was already on thin ice over a series of incidents, and was nearly fired two months ago for losing his temper on a number of occasions.

Are they gonna drop Cornette, or the territory.

Just Cornette, but I can't imagine Cornette's firing going over well with a lot of people who work in OVW, so who knows what OVW might do in response.

While the angle sounded stupid and probably legit hard not to laugh at in the first place, Geo Basco was being an asshole for basically ruining a debut and a possible storyline.

Yeah, that's what I figured. Cornette's doing a fine job from what I've heard and seen.

Oooh, a slap. From a chubby man probably a foot shorter than him.

 

I'd laugh at a guy called "The Boogeyman", too.

 

Cornette being a loudmouth jackass schmuck isn't really surprising. However, if they kept him this long of course he's not going to think much about acting that way.

Cornette is by no means a jackass. He just isn't afraid of speaking his mind, and if that means calling someone a dumbfuck, he'll call them a dumbfuck, regardless of whether it's the best move politically to make.

Cornette is a jackass. Mark Madden, on the torch forum, recently wrote about how Cornette called him at home over something Madden said. Madden's mom picked up the phone and said Madden was not there. Cornette told her to take the nigger cock out of her mouth and write a message for Madden.

 

That comes directly from Mark.

Hmmm yes, like I'd believe something Mark freakin' Madden said. Dude was just a shock jock wannabe announcer.

[geniusMoment 0]

Actually, this was in a thread where Mark was talking about his personal life. He was talking about how his mom was retired from working in the school system and about her health problems. But you can believe what you want, it does not make any difference to me.

[Guest Brian]

Did Mark Madden admit to living with his mom at his age?

[Hunter's Torn Quad 0]

Mark Madden hates Cornette, so I wouldn't take his word about what Cornette allegedly said at face value.

[King Cucaracha 0]

Whether Cornette is a jackass or not, he's damn sure entertaining.

Did Mark Madden admit to living with his mom at his age?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes, he said she lives with him so he can take care of her medical needs.

And I thought that Corny being at least somewhat bigoted was common knowledge. Well, at least that he had no issues with dropping "nigger" even when it was inappropriate.

 

And telling a mother to take a cock out of her mouth and write a message for her son PWNS anything else he could have said.

From PWI:

 

Jim Cornette, who handled the Ohio Valley Wrestling developmental territory along with Danny Davis, was fired by World Wrestling Entertainment. The last straw in a series of incidents was Cornette slapping an OVW student "ten to fifteen times" after the student, in front of fans, giggled instead of showing fear towards The Boogeyman Marty Wright during an OVW TV taping.

 

There are a number of people who are noting that Cornette seemed extremely burned out in recent months, although none were willing to defend him for raising his hands to the student. One source noted that just last week, after returning from a WWE forced vacation, Cornette snapped and walked out of a taping while claiming he was done with the company, only to return an hour later.

 

There is no word yet as to who will be taking over Cornette's duties yet. Lance Storm finished his tenure with WWE yesterday and has headed home to Calgary. During Cornette's "vacation", Storm, Tommy Dreamer, and Al Snow handled the TV end of the territory

Well, that answers that question.

[Placebo Effect 0]

One slap to a wrestler? Okay.

 

Fifteen slaps to a wrestler? Bye bye.

I like how he prounced it "X-Pack" instead of the way everybody else said it.

"giggled instead of showing fear towards The Boogeyman Marty Wright"

 

 

"isn't afraid of speaking his mind, and if that means calling someone a dumbfuck, he'll call them a dumbfuck, regardless of whether it's the best move politically to make."

 

Who is the dumbfuck who came up with "The Boogeyman," I wonder?

Looks like TNA just picked up a new creative team member.

 

Hell hath no fury like Cornette scorned.

[Guest Brian]

Now, if only they could reprimand everyone who acted like this...

Yes, his alleged comment to Mark Madden's mother is hilarious. Racist or not.

Yeah, well I don't find a white man saying "nigga" funny in the least. I guess you're easily amused, and definitely immature.

Once again, Johnny Ace gets his way. Now I can't look forward to getting my OVW tapes, because Tommy Dreamer sucked a fat one booking those shows.

[Guest news_gimmick]

I wouldn't believe Madden as far as I could throw him. I don't buy what he is selling at all.

[Guest Fook_Theta]

Cornette has always had a bad temper and for his own sake I hope he learns one day how to deal with it in a reasonable non-carny manner. He is easily in the top five wrestling bookers right now. To see him throw part of that away over something minor is pitiful.
