Jim Cornette's Late Night Drive Thru Omnibus

[@jonathandenatale6878]

@@SensiofRabbitude the voice does take some Getting used too for me, it sounds so Much deeper Than usual

[@EmoEmu]

Underachiever: Sean O'Haire That guy could have main-evented had they just used him right. Those initial vignettes in WWE are classics.

[@EmoEmu]

More so their fault than it was his own.

[@EmoEmu]

Oh and Jerry Lawler is an underachiever. He could have been even bigger if he'd worked out and made more of an effort. He just felt he didn't need to and settled for where he was.

[@SensiofRabbitude]

Jindrak was bland as hell. Maybe in the territory days, he gets a manager and gets over but he was never going to be much bigger than he was, in the era he was in. O'Haire was fun to watch but he was a bit of a troubled soul. Given a fairer go, he probably would have gotten into some random fight one night and immediately undone all the good work done anyway. I'm assuming you're both fans of Jim, seeing as you're here. It may then also be worth noting Corny was running OVW and at one point he had 21 WWE developmental contracted workers on his roster. He was asked by the WWE to rank all 21 based on ability and who is ready to debut. Corny ranked O'Haire and Jindrak 19th and 20th but they got called up anyway. Tldr it was a combination of Vince thinking managers are old hat, personal problems and maybe that they just weren't ready.

[@brian_b_music]

@@EmoEmu Yeah I watched an old documentary where they interviewed him. He took the blame for everything not working out. I remember watching it not too long after he died, it was super sad.

"We told them how the shell game works and expected them to keep playing.." This, and the analogy to stage magicians, is the best explanation for why wrestling doesn't matter anymore.
