With Pauls Ellering and Heyman still active, Jim Cornette is one of the few undeniably great managers still awaiting induction. His legacy stretches all the way back to the old NWA, where he led the Midnight Express to a number of championships. Corny also left his mark in WWE, first as the patriarch of Camp Cornette and later as the manager of the ill-fated NWA invasion. Behind the scenes, he'd become the mind behind OVW, the developmental program that brought us John Cena, Randy Orton, Batista and Brock Lesnar.

Why He's Not In: Corny can be…combative? Is that a good word? Cornette is great at making enemies and even better at holding grudges, without incurring the man's wrath. He currently hates everything about modern WWE and isn't shy about expressing that fact.
