When you look at the people Jim Cornette has managed in his career, it's quite the list. The Midnight Express, Owen Hart, Vader, Davey Boy Smith, The Heavenly Bodies, Yokozuna, Barry Windham, Jeff Jarrett, Christopher Daniels, The Briscoes, The Fantastics... it just goes on and on. If you were managed by Cornette, you probably had gold around your waist at some point, or at least were in the mix for some. Not only was he a great in the managerial world, but he was also an incredible "talker", as well. He was loud, he was obnoxious, and he spoke faster than most people can hear, but when he had a microphone in his hand, he made you pay attention. He had the ability to make you laugh when he was a face, and to make you want to see him get destroyed when he was a heel. It's the ability to "talk people into the building", as the old wrestling saying goes. Yes, Cornette hasn't always had the greatest of relationships with Vince McMahon through the years (both men like to speak their mind and don't like to be argued with), but we've seen time and time again how little that can mean when push comes to shove and it's time to do business together.
