WWE: 10 Real Life Wrestling Rivalries

8. Jim Cornette vs Vince Russo

Jim Cornette Okay, so these guys aren't wrestlers. They may have been thrown around in the ring a few times, and Jim Cornette once fell from a scaffold and broke his ankle, but they aren't wrestlers. I felt they deserved an honourable mention nonetheless. Both were notable bookers, and Jim was once one of the best managers in the business. They worked together in WWE and in TNA. Jim Cornette and Vince Russo utterly despise each other. The hatred that they share is so strong that it just has to be included on this list. Cornette has blasted his nemesis with so many expletive laden, but perfectly articulated "pipebombs" that I wouldn't dare try to even start transcribing them here. You can check out an endless list of podcasts, videos and written accounts if you want to go deeper. Russo doesn't hold back in his response either. He has been known to shoot on his former colleague in interviews for Kayfabe Commentaries. The last time they were on good terms was during their latest working relationship in TNA. Cornette couldn't handle working for him, and had to throw in the towel. Two of the great minds of the Attitude Era cannot even sit in a room together. A story so common in professional wrestling.
