During his recent appearance on the “Ross Report” podcast with Jim Ross, the legendary Jim Cornette was asked which modern talent he would have liked to manage.
Regarding the current tag-team scene in professional wrestling, Cornette was quick to point to The Briscoe Brothers, Mark and Jay.
“Gosh, I’ve said this a lot and my favorite tag team these days is The Briscoe Brothers, Mark and Jay of Ring Of Honor. They’re genuine. They’re legitimate. They look good. They talk good. They work good. And the people believe in them. They like them. I don’t know if I would be a good fit as their manager because I think their natural role, they had a heel run and they were quite good at it, but it just revved them up to turn back babyface again because [it was] one of those deals where they’ve been on the same pattern for a while [and] needed a shaking up. I have not seen [Jason] Jordan and [Chad] Gable and those guys, but I’m going to soon, so I can’t necessarily say them.”
As far as singles competitors, while Cornette would list many talents, WWE Superstar Dolph Ziggler was at the top of the list. As Cornette explains, WWE isn’t utilizing Ziggler’s talents as well as they could be.
“As a single, one of my favorite guys, I just like to watch him. If I watch WWE, chances are it’s because Dolph Ziggler’s involved because we had him in OVW. I knew he was a good athlete, [but] I never dreamed he was going to be the second coming of Curt Hennig. Everything he does is flawless. I think all aspiring wrestlers should watch his, not only his technique, but also the way he throws himself into everything. His stuff is spot on. His timing is great. His stuff looks good. I can’t find a flaw in his game. I’m a big Dolph Ziggler fan. They don’t do jack all with him.” Cornette continued, “I’m a big fan of Adam Cole’s. I think Adam Cole’s a superstar. Jay Lethal, he [has] got Truth Martini, so maybe I couldn’t get him, but also young Matt Taven, Mike Bennett. I’ve always been a fan of theirs. A lot of Ring Of Honor guys.”
