Jim Cornette has been known for his hot takes, and not all of them are even good takes. This one will no doubt create the controversy he’s known to crave.
On Jim Cornette’s Drive Thru podcast, Cornette recently talked about Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae, delivering a scathing rant that said he feels LeRae has no business on NXT and Gargano barely does. Citing Gargano’s lack of personality and a “phony interview style” and referring to LeRae as a “run of the mill girl wrestler,” it is clear Cornette is hardly a fan of the two.
“I can’t explain putting these f*cking two on the show constantly. Even if he’s a good… her aside? She’s just a run of the mill girl wrestler, who gives a sh*t — he technically is a good performer.” “Sure if it wouldn’t be for his size, his lack of personality and his obnoxiously phoney interview style and everything else about him he’d be great. Give him a contract and make him a trainer, you know? He can do all the moves. Let him do motion capture for the video game.”
Cornette went on in his rant and while giving Gargano credit about having “all the moves,” he thinks nobody wants to see Gargano on television.
“He can do all the moves but this guy is not a television personality that anybody wants to f*cking see. The only people that want to see it are the people that want to see moves.”
Surely this one will be debated for a while, as many believe Gargano is one of the brand’s top talents on the mic and in the ring.
