10 Non-Wrestlers Who Need To Be In The WWE Hall Of Fame
9. Jim Cornette
I can give you a million reasons as to why this will never happen.
James E. "Jim" Cornette first found fame in territories such as Mid South Wrestling, World Class Championship Wrestling and the National Wrestling Alliance. He primarily worked as a manager, most famously with tag team, The Midnight Express.
Cornette first arrived in the WWF in 1993, where he formed his own stable, Camp Cornette. His charges included the likes of The British Bulldog, Vader and Yokozuna, who was WWF Champion at the time.
Cornette remained with the promotion until 2003, during which time he served as a manager, a commentator, a booker, a producer and part-owner of the company's developmental territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling. So he was like Triple H, but with less muscle and more tennis rackets.
Cornette has been around for decades and is one of the most pioneering managers and talkers in the business. Many have tried to emulate his style over the years, but none have come close to matching Jim.
In recent years, Cornette has become a vocal critic of WWE, online and on his podcast. Whilst this might ruin any chances he has of getting into the Hall one day, Cornette's mark on the business as one of its greatest all-round figures is undeniable. Unless you ask Vince Russo. Or Kevin Dunn.
