Jim Cornette fired (and BG James, but nobody cares about him)

[D2Kvirus]

According to PWInsider.com, both Jim Cornette and BG James have been released from the company.


According to F4WOnline.com, the TNA releases of Jim Cornette and BG James are part of an apparent move to eliminate those who were closest to Jeff Jarrett. Previous examples include the recent releases of Dutch Mantell and Savio Vega.

I'm wondering if Jeff Jarrett has noticed that his company is trying to get shot of everything, considering most opf his confidants in booking and creative are being shunted off.

Whilst it's no big loss they got rid of BG James, as he hasn't been on TV in 18 months (and sucked when he was on), but Cornette is a guy who's known as one of the ebst wrestling minds in the business - even if he does overemphasise his worth and value if given half a chance. By releasing him, now Vince Russo has more or less complete creative control.

In the event of the inevitible, I call dibs on behalf of ROH for the contracts of Homicide and MCMG...

Why am I getting this Deja Vu feeling? Yeah Cornette had an ego, but I would take him over Russo. Of course this incident begs the question of where Cornette will go next (No I am not suggesting the E). Cornette returning to Mcmahonland, somehow I don't see that working out.

I think Cornette burned his bridges with WWE, before returning to the scene and pissing on the ashes, with OVW.

The thing I've noticed is that there's so many well regarded bookers who should surely have a shot anywhere that can meet their price, and yet don't: Paul Heyman could book any fed he wanted to that would meet his asking price, whilst Gabe Sapolsky is in Dragon Gate USA - and neither WWE or TNA showed any interest.

There's something wrong when a guy who knows how to book can't get a job, when a guy like Russo has a high-profile job booking the #2 fed in the US despite having a name that only ever gets equated with crappy booking and angles, and hotshotting whole feuds.

BG James........BG James.........


Didnt he dance with curry on his head?.......


There is no way Cornette is going to WWE, he'll probably appear at most of the independent promotions and that's all were gonna hear from him

[Juice Springsteen]

Umm, Justin, he just got out of TNA.

Why is TNA out to get Jeff Jarrett?

The whole Jarrett/Karen Angle situation seems to be a perfect excuse for TNA to:
1.) Do everyone a favour and keep Jarrett of TV and PPV
2.) Attempt to crowbar away his minority share
3.) Clear the drawing board - and that could also mean Russo as well

Ihn other news, D'Lo Brown has just signed with TNA, partly because Russo is one of his biggest fans. ROH fans heard to shrug en masse when asked if he did anything of note in the six months he was with the company.
