5 Reasons Why Jim Cornette Is The Biggest Heel In Wrestling Right Now
3. He Generates Sympathy For His Targets
As much as Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks would like for Jim Cornette to distance himself and his negativity from their careers, they really owe a debt to the loud-mouthed Kentuckian. It’s because of Cornette’s crude, often baseless attacks on them and other wrestlers that the fans of the Bucks, Omega, and others are galvanized into uniting against Corny. They’ll throw their passionate support behind the indie darlings that Cornette attacks, and they’ll shut him down on social media or elsewhere. It becomes an “us vs. them” frenzy where, even if you’re not a fan of Kenny Omega and some of his weirder wrestling, you find yourself rooting for him because you truly detest Cornette.
So like a great heel, he’s gotten his opponent over.
