Jim Cornette on Trying to Kill Terry Landell

[@heyitsmemg7494]

Jim Cornette is the only person I know of who can happily tell someone he admitted to trying to kill a guy and laugh about it.

According to Brian Last (Jim's current wrestling-centric co-host), 10:03 was Alice's (Jim previous 'wrestling novice' co-host) best moment of her controversial tenure in the job.
