10 WWE Heels You Most Want To Punch In The Face

4. Jim Cornette

Describing Jim Cornette as outspoken is like describing the sun as a warm object. It's often said that the best wrestling gimmick is the performer's real personality turned up to 11, and when your natural personality is as brash, opinionated, and abrasive as Cornette's, turning it up to 11 results in nuclear heat. In Cornette's case, it made him the ultimate heel manager, filling arenas with customers paying to see him get his ass kicked.

Cornette's gimmick of being a spoiled rich kid may have been fiction, but the sheer obnoxiousness he brought to the character was based in truth. When Cowboy Bill Watts scouted Cornette in the old Memphis territory, he immediately wanted to smack him in the face. But Watts immediately realized that if his own response to Cornette was that quick and visceral, the spoiled-kid gimmick would bring guaranteed heat. After bringing Cornette to Mid-South Wrestling and making him the manager of the Midnight Express, Watts was proven correct. The Midnights, with Cornette in the corner, drew serious money as heels, including a famous run of shows with the stipulation that if his team lost, Cornette would have to wear a baby diaper.
