    If WWE invited Jim Cornette to go into their Hall Of Fame, but used Vince Russo as the presenter, it would simultaneously be the greatest long term angle and swerve ever. It would also be the last time we saw Corny as a free man, but sacrifices have to be made
  • @zachg2735
    Being responsible for training Lesnar, Cena, Batista, Lashley, etc seems like a big thing to get inducted for.
  • I know Jim’s feelings about the hall, but The Midnight should’ve been in the Hall of Fame himself included
  • Bobby's induction speech would have been the greatest silent speech of all time, him simply nodding with a smile would have earned him a standing ovation.
  • @Flynn01979
    Jim Cornette for sure deserves to go into the Hall Of Fame.
  • @Dodong0
    Wish they could’ve done this when Bobby was still with us. 💔
  • @Surfword
    The Bella's being in the HOF but not the midnight express is a damn shame
  • The fact that Jim has helped train guys like Cena, Orton, Lesnar, and Batista should place him in the HOF
  • @Morisco853
    Jim you deserve it, you're a legend you helped make thousands if not millions of young peoples teenage adolescent years amazing watching you, can't tell you how many fond memories I have watching you on TV as a child and teenager.
  • Honestly, the Hall of Fame at this point is for the fans. We just want to be able to give these guys one more moment in the spotlight so we can celebrate them.
  • @ej55033233
    OVW alone & the mega stars they produced could get Cornette in. Not to mention the incredible Midnight Express run.
  • @gipsydanger7
    It’s LONG past time that Jim and the Midnight Express to be inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame
  • It’s unforgivable that Jim and the midnight are not inter hall of fame already.
  • Jim said something unconnected here that actually answers a lot of questions. He trademarked his name and the Midnight Express, which means WWE probably can't put out a bunch of licensed Midnight merch and videos without Jim's permission. This makes a Legends contract with Jim much less valuable to them than many others would be.

    Jim is in an elite tier of wrestling minds that are still alive today. Please give him what he deserves WWE.

    One of Austin's first big feuds in WCW was against Bobby Eaton, Austin won his first TV title from Bobby.
  • @doomedhuh
    Corny really should be in. He's probably the most prominent WWF manager from the new gen era
  • @icehawx5580
    Lmao Bob Holly and Bart Gunn sneak in as well. I’m dying at the picture.
