Jim Cornette and Vince Russo have hated one another for a number of years. If you watched the recent ‘Table for 3’ episode with Cornette, him and Eric Bischoff took some jabs at Russo (who Cornette refers to as the Archbishop of Talent Bury).
Russo has said in the past that Cornette could come onto his podcast: [Vince Russo’s The Brand] and they could settle their differences. Cornette refuses because he says Russo only wants the publicity.
Instead, Cornette had an idea of his own. He challenged Russo to a legitimate fight for $5000 on his podcast: The Jim Cornette Experience.
Cornette in an expletive filled rant says that Russo should send him a date and an address and he will be there.
Here are the rules:
“But here’s the rules: no cops, no guns, and no knives and we both come alone. And what happens, happens. Nobody makes a dime off of it, nobody gets any publicity off of it, nobody’s even gonna know it’s gonna happen until after it happens when nobody hears from you anymore”
He continued:
“So not only will I come to you, not only will I meet you in a neutral location with no cops, no guns, no knives — just the two of us. But I’m gonna have $5,000 in cash with me because I got that Vince unlike you. You don’t have to bring anything. You don’t even have to bring a ham sandwich. I’m gonna have $5,000 in cash with me and you can have it if you can take it away from me”
He assures listeners that this is a serious offer:
“But I’m making you a legitimate offer. I swear on my mother’s grave if you give me a date, a time, and an address I will meet you there and I will bring five grand in cash. As long as the rules are no cops, no guns, and no knives and what happens, happens!”
