Tune into or read an interview with Jim Cornette, and wrestling fans know exactly the kind of thing they're going to get. Ever a fascinating guest, Cornette is consistently outspoken regardless of the subject, and that's why he's so popular on various podcasts and 'shoot interview' releases. Kayfabe Commentaries have been acclaimed for producing some of the best shoot interview footage of all time. Host Sean Oliver is a likeable character in his own right, routinely building up a degree of camaraderie with his guests and really helping make them feel at ease throughout the interview, something which only leads to them being more open than they might be with others. In 1989, World Championship Wrestling was on the cusp of something new. Up until that point, the promotion were pretty much known as the NWA, sitting alongside the more glitzy WWF as a true alternative. Normally regarded as much more of a wrestling product (rather than 'sports entertainment'), the NWA name would give way to WCW in late-1988 and into 1989, as media mogul Ted Turner tightened his grip on the company.
That year and that promotion is the focal point for a timeline review from Kayfabe Commentaries, and this list explores some of the different things fans can learn from Jim Cornette on the presentation.
