Vince Russo Claims Jim Cornette Pulled A Gun Out On Him

Cornette responds...

Former WWE, WCW and TNA creative mastermind Vince Russo has claimed former colleague Jim Cornette pulled a gun out on him. Russo appeared on Jim Ross' Ross Report podcast and claimed that Cornette pulled the firearm out in front of him while they were travelling together. Seemingly as soon as he got wind of the allegations, Cornette responded with a flurry of tweets. He started off by tweeting: "Apparently noted sh*tstain @THEVinceRusso told @JRsBBQ I pulled a gun in front of him--if this was true, VR would no longer be telling story." A fan then called Russo out, claiming to have heard the tale on JR's podcast and not believing what he said, Vince replied:@BsUmcanes @TheJimCornette @JRsBBQ Yeah bro, I made up that story right off the top of my head. Been telling that story since day it happened." This then started a direct conversation between the pair for bookers. Russo claimed he's been telling the same story since the day it happened and never rode with Jim again following the incident, while Cornette responded by saying: "You lying dipsh*t, it was a TALK about me CARRYING a gun because I WAS a heel, and you not riding w/me again was MY choice." Vince questioned why he would lie to JR before Jim claimed his former colleague tells himself "this sh*t" for so long that he actually starts believing it. https://twitter.com/TheJimCornette/status/677543404507635712?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Russo ended up blocking Cornette and that was the end of the argument. It remains to be seen whether more will be made of it or not...
