Loss Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Not much to comment on here, except that I'm not sure what was different, but Cornette never clicked as a manager in the WWF. Here, he goads Shawn into putting his Wrestlemania title shot on the line against Owen Hart at In Your House. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_Briscoe_Is_My_Hero Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I am on the fence about this Billionaire Ted skit. On one hand there are a lot of personal shots at Ted Turner, yet the Mean Gene line and WCW operating policy lines were good. They did mention that WCW never comes up with any of their own ideas, which I find funny as it wasn't long until WCW actually did come up with their own idea, and almost put WWF out of business with it. I do find Michaels interview a bit annoying and unlikeable. I thought corny was fine here. Also would rate Mean Gene better at the mic than Vince.

Kevin Ridge Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Shawn wants the nine guys in Syracuse to get credit for taking him out. Why didn’t they make a PPV match out of that. Cornette wants Owen to get the World title shot at next PPV over Michaels. This became normal routine on later PPVs with Rumble winner facing a random opponent over WrestleMania title shot.

BruiserBrody Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 I rolled my eyes when Shawn leaned on Vince's shoulder and left Vince to cut a promo on Cornette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 I suppose legally they couldn't have done it, but yeah--there was money in utilizing a guy supposedly involved in the Syracuse attack as part of a feud. He then calls out Owen Hart. That draws out Cornette out, who puts HBK in his place by informing him there's no financial incentive for Owen to take a match with HBK. THAT sounds familiar. There's only one thing Cornette wants, and that's HBK's title shot. Michaels agrees and then throws Cornette out of the ring. Crybaby.

soup23 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I liked this except for the Vince sucking up to HBK. Corny brings out something for his client and HBK gets his match vs. Owen and clowns on cornette which is always fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted October 26 Report Share Posted October 26 So answer me a question. Was it that fans really liked the idea of complete asshole babyfaces in 1996? Or was it that the people that WCW and WWF were pushing were complete assholes? Shawn is so heelish here it makes absolutely no sense how over he is. Corny turning things around on him towards the end kind of made it worth it, but why come out without Owen or somebody to back him up?
