Speaking on his podcast, Jim Cornette Experience, Cornette stated that apart from Tully Blanchard, none of the managers in AEW could take bumps effectively from the youngsters. Furthermore, he explained that the whole point of having a manager is to build heat, after which they could take a beating from the babyface.
Jim Cornette added that the very reason he doesn’t work as a manager in wrestling anymore is because he can’t take bumps. He said that if a manager doesn’t get beat up, there’s no payoff, thus rendering the role useless.
Jim Cornette was also unhappy with a wrestler hugging a referee in AEW
It’s no secret that Cornette is one of the most outspoken critics of AEW. One recent example was when Cornette slammed Ruby Soho for hugging the referee after her match on AEW Dynamite.
After securing a win over Jamie Hayter, Soho hugged the referee as part of her post-match celebrations. Jim Cornette also took shots at AEW for approving such a pointless angle as it had no bearing on the larger narrative.
