Jim Cornette recently spoke on his podcast, “The Jim Cornette Experience,” about a variety of professional wrestling topics including the report that WWE is interested in signing AEW’s Kenny Omega when his deal with the rival promotion is up, which is speculated to be this year if time isn’t added to it from when he was out of action.
Cornette said:
“Well, I agree because what is he now? 37-38? He is now older than Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson when I brought them to Smoky Mountain Wrestling. well 39, there you go. So he is a 40-year-old guy, he has got no proven record in his only competition of drawing any ratings, if quite the opposite. They are aware that he is prickly personality and he is in it for his art.
“I’ve said it before, if they made an offer for him it would be so the other guys wouldn’t have him just to disrupt them and it’s a minute expense on the WWE’s part but also two things would happen, they would think he is a complete imbecile or lunatic with the way that he thinks and talks and acts and views things or conversely they would give him a nervous breakdown with the way that the WWE thinks acts and talks about things.”
