I find Cornette being such good friends with Jeff Jarrett to be really loving weird. Corny is a fairly liberal dude, while JJ has been unabashedly conservative and pro-Trump (MIGA) for a few years at least. And then there's Jarrett's Russo fetish...

It's probably the family connection, with Jim working with Jeff's father and grandmother, so he's probably blind to Jeff's shortcomings, having known him so long.


I mean, McMahon's insane, and people are still loyal to him.

A lucha company with Russo at the helm would be interesting. The title would always be vacant, since according to Russo, no one wants to see a Mexican on top.

I don't think it was the first time it happened either. If memory serves, TNA hired "The Wall" of "It's the Wall, brother" fame and he came out wearing a shirt with Nazi symbols on it.

WWE saw the same thing, seeing as the week the Wolves spent in NXT, they named Richards Derek Billington, (Edwards John Cahill).

I don’t think even the HoF ring translates to unfettered backstage access like it used to. Maybe catering.

Apparently it does?

quote:

According to a new report from PWInsider‘s Mike Johnson, WWE Hall of Famer and TNA/IMPACT Wrestling founder Jeff Jarrett has already received a promotion within WWE after just being brought back to the company fold in late January to work as a Producer backstage. After just over a month with the company, he’s spent the past week with the WWE Headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, where he’s now been given a “full time executive level role” in WWE Creative going forward, joining recently returning Bruce Prichard (who is a new Senior Vice President) as well as recently promoted women’s lead writer Betsy Kelso.
