7 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (Aug 18)
1. Assorted GFW Craziness
Jim Cornette p*ssed in the chips of his many enemies when he appeared at GFW Destination X on Thurday night, having been selected by the anthem board to help out with the "decision making" process. He replaced the "fired" Bruce Prichard in the role as authority figure. Cornette, the man many wrote off as a PR disaster of a dinosaur two weeks ago, is back on national television.
It's difficult to determine whether Vince Russo is seething with jealousy, or in a state of awe at the audacity of the swerve. Perhaps he'll feel one thing one minute, and the exact opposite a minute later. One person whose reaction you definitely can guess is WCW relic Mark Madden, who just this week on the Two Man Power Trip Of Wrestling podcast labelled Cornette as an "unemployable" "little dog" who "a**sholed his way out of the business." Madden, meanwhile, has not been employed by a wrestling company for over a decade and a half.
Johnny Nitro/Morrison/Mundo is also giving Ed Leslie a run for his money in the multiple moniker stakes; he debuted in GFW under the name Johnny Impact.
Isn't it called GFW now? God knows.
