Mama Cornette's baby boy, like Sherri, owed much of his career success to his tag teams. The Midnight Express are his best-remembered (and most decorated) pairing, but he had a fair amount of success with various pairings within his mid-90's Camp Cornette stable.
His managerial partnership with Mr. Fuji proved especially fruitful, as the addition of the mighty Yokozuna brought the Camp both world heavyweight and tag team gold. Corny's greatest coup, however, was the short-lived NWA invasion of WWE programming, during which the NWA world heavyweight and world tag team championships were returned to national prominence.
Under Cornette's control, naturally.
