10 Observations From Jim Ross & Jim Cornette's Attitude Era Q&A
10. Jim Ross Is Much More Diplomatic Than Jim Cornette
Occasionally, opposites attract. It'd be inaccurate to deem Jim Ross and Jim Cornette polar opposites when it comes to their views on pro wrestling, however there's a real contrast between their natural personalities. Throughout the Q&A this was instantly noticeable, especially when topics like Shawn Michaels or creative team meetings were broached.
Soft-spoken and diplomatic till the end, Ross prefers to side-step outright confrontation when analysing his past. Meanwhile, existing firmly on the other end of the spectrum, Cornette doesn't mind saying exactly what's on his mind. Naturally, this is highly entertaining and helped the show flow wonderfully well.
Cornette and Ross complement one another incredibly well, there's a prevailing sense that the latter finds his friend's blunt force delivery endearing. Both men talked over one another at points, but this only gave the show a more natural feel.
Coming across more like a private conversation between two friends, the Q&A was never ponderous. Seeing that schism between both men in terms of delivery was fascinating. It was almost like Cornette finished JR's sentences at times, and vice versa.
