"I'm Jim Cornette and that's my opinion (Teil 1)"

Jim Cornette: "This is Jim Cornette, and the views that I'm about to express are not necessarily those of anybody else but me. But they ought to be. And as a matter of fact, they probably are. You know, a lot of things in the wrestling world make me cranky these days. Especially the way some talent is treated and some talent is looked at, by not only the promoters, but some wrestling fans as well. For example, a man like Arn Anderson, who just had to retire from this sport, after giving it his entire life, because of some injury he suffered. A guy like "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, who in my opinion, is one of the greatest talents in the history of this business. Guys like Mankind, Cactus Jack, Dude Love, whatever you want to call him. Great talents in the WWF or WCW.

But who gets a lot of the attention, from the wrestling fans especially? Guys like the nWo, the New World Order. You know, all the fans think these guys are so cool and so sweeeeet, and so funny. Well, as far as I'm concerned, the nWo is like a bunch of guys meeting out in the backyard in a clubhouse in a tree. They've got the easiest job in the world. All they have to do is go out there and be themselves - childish, obnoxious, adolescent guys with a case of severe arrested emotional development and a fixation on trying to act macho.

You've got Kevin Nash, 40 years old, trying to act like a teenager. As far as I'm concerned the biggest no talent in the business. He's got six moves, no mobility, and enough timing to cover up for some of it. What he does is he goes around and he manipulates. Kevin Nash had a multi-million dollar promotional company, the WWF push him to the moon to make him a star. And what does he do? He leaves after he gives his word he's staying - so by the way he's a liar, too - he leaves and he goes to WCW for a big contract. Why? More on that later.

You've got Scott Hall, who's a good wrestler, but good is about it. He's the best of the bunch. But he had the same million dollar promotional company make him a star after he had been in the sport 10 years and hadn't put three asses in the seats. What does he do? He goes to WCW for a big contract. Why? More on that later.

And then you got a guy... Syxx, 1-2-3 Kid, his name's Sean Waltman, whatever you want to call him. Well, as far as I'm concerned, the only reason he's employed is because the other guys think he's funny when he gets drunk and throws up on himself. He has the distinction, in case you haven't noticed, of being the only guy since this "Wrestling War" got started, that was released from a valid contract for one company to go to the other side, which shows you how valuable he is.

You know why they're all employed? Why they're all in the spot they are today? Because of Eric Bischoff, the boss of WCW. Not the nWo! Look at the credits of their PPVs if you can get one for free! The idiot's name is on it! He's the boss of WCW, he works for Ted Turner, and he throws a billionaire's money around just like water so he can have guys he likes to hang out with. Because even more than being a mark... yeah... for his own face and his own voice. Eric Bischoff is a guy who is a big fan of hanging around studly guys with long hair and beards who smoke cigars and ride Harleys so some of that can rub off on his little pansy ass frame. So he takes that billionaire's money and he throws it around like water to buy guys he can hang around with so he can prove his johnson is bigger than everybody else's. And that's the sole reason that the nWo guys are employed…

I think, me personally, that it's about time that the wrestling fans and the promoters, all of them in this business, start recognizing guys like "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, like Arn Anderson, like Cactus Jack. Guys who bust their ass, who work hard, and have ability and have talent to get where they are. Instead of a bunch of guys that get to their spot by hanging around with the boss and sucking up. I'm Jim Cornette, and that's my opinion."
