Cornette and The invasion

Posted: Aug 25th 2009 By: mikeiles

JIM CORNETTE ON THE BOTCHED OVW DEAL, BOTCHED WWE CREATIVE, AND BOTCHED INVASION ANGLE

Jim Cornette has never been one to bite his tongue. So naturally, when he took the hotseat on Guest Booker, one might have imagined he'd have a thing or two to say about the topic at hand. Well, he does. And on so much more.

Guest Booker with Jim Cornette (www.kayfabecommentaries.com), which went onsale today, gives Cornette the opportunity to sound off on the biggest botched angle in recent wrestling memory -- The WCW Invasion. Cornette's insights are deep and far reaching. The booking exercise segement of the show has him rebooking the angle and writing all of the promos in remarkable detail.

But Kayfabe Commentaries co-owner Sean Oliver remarks that something else emerged from his commentary. "In discussing the Invasion and not just went wrong, but also the 'state of the union' at the time," Oliver began, "we see Cornette open up about the entire story surrounding the erosion of the developmental relationship between OVW and WWE. It's amazing to see how closely the stories intertwine. Clearly there's some very open wounds between Jim and the staff in Connecticut."

The double disc set covers Cornette's philosophies on booking, his experience, his feelings on modern day wrestling writing, the WWE office, and ultimately, the Invasion.

The disc went onsale today at www.kayfabecommentaries.com.
