The most shocking thing about that Cornette e-mail is him calling Russo a "twat". It's just not right. That's a british insult! I can't even imagine him saying that with his mouth.

Someone needs to explain the internet to Jim.

He sent it to Taylor to his TNA email address ("from your email address to the attention of TNA's talent coordinator, Terry Taylor at his TNA email address"). TNA might have been scanning for words in everyone's emails and found Cornette's. Bischoff and Hogan could have it done to look for people backstabbing TNA from the inside.

Him sending that email to Taylor in his TNA address... what an idiot.

Cornette knows what he was doing, he's said the same stuff in interviews, and I wouldn't be shocked if this entire thing his him joking and writing a fake response from TNA too. Let's assume it's real, I think it's a Cornette rant and those just look insane and dangerous in writing when there's really a sense of humor to them. Taylor probably got worried and forwarded it along, and TNA's lawyers responded like they have to.

That was possibly the most insane thing ever written, what makes it even more insane than such usually would be was that it was intended for an audience, forget explaining to Cornette how the internet works, maybe someone should explain how a contemporary society works and that unlike in the wondrous land of keyfabe, death threats are frowned upon by most people.

Cornette probably wouldnt do it. It seems like an exaggeration you would say to a (what you consider) a close friend because they know you dont mean it. However, if he sent it to a tna email, jim is just retarded for it and deserves to get in trouble.

It's not so much that he wants to kill him, it's just that he doesn't want Russo to be alive anymore.

Don't you guys understand, his love for wrestling, his passion, it's just THAT strong, and Vince Russo has been ruining his passion for over 10 years now, taking it away from it's old school roots and developing it into the 'entertainment' it is now. Cornette's feelings are perfectly understandable!

Cornette's podcast is hilarious. Everyone listen to it. He claims that he's going to will himself to live longer than Russo just so he can get the crowning life achivement of pissing on his grave. "If I'm 90 years old, I will wheel myself in my wheelchair to the cemetary just so I can say I lived longer than you motherfucker and I'm pissing on you now because you're a piece of poo poo." I love Cornette.

Unless he said "And that's a shoot, brother" at the end, it's implied that he's not serious.

He sent an e-mail to a friend of 30 years, so it was hardly "threatening somebody's life directly". Yeah he sent it to him at his TNA e-mail address, which was dumb, but he hardly broke into Russo's house and boiled his bunny before tucking his junk between his legs, putting on lipstick and whispering,"I'd book me, I'd book me."

What's funny is this isn't even the first time Cornette has gone off on Russo through mutual acquaintances. When Russo first got shitcanned from WCW, Cornette got his cell phone number from someone and chewed him out until Russo hung up, then called again and left a voicemail continuing the tirade. I think the whole Oklahoma thing loosened a screw in Cornette's brain regarding his hatred for Russo.

That said, I think Cornette reducing Kevin Dunn to tears in person is meaner than anything he's ever said to Russo.

Sent an email to a personal friend that basically showed all his shoot and rant stuff is actual truth, and not just being batshit crazy for the sake of being batshit crazy and entertaining smarks.

There's a difference that you can understand when he's saying stuff about how he wants Russo to die in a shoot, because you figure someone to say stupid poo poo in order to provoke a reaction and sell copies. But when you start telling close friends that you want to kill someone in a private email, backing up all the crazy poo poo you've said before, then it becomes disturbing. This is the difference. Cornette CROSSED THE LINE, if you will.

Has Cornette ever actually been in a fight before, or had his rear end kicked? Because he really seems like a guy who needs it, so he will chill the gently caress out.

Cornette snapped on Dunn during a production meeting and made fun of his teeth, which hurt Dunn's feelings so much that he started literally crying about it when Vince forced them to shake hands and mend fences a few days later.

Yes. He got beaten up/threatened by fans in Tennessee and Louisiana on a fairly consistent basis, which is why he's such a rageaholic now.

It's not so much just saying he wants to kill Russo, because pretty much everyone says poo poo like "Man I could kill that rear end in a top hat" on occasion. It's saying in a creepy specific way like "If I could figure out a way to murder him without going to prison, I would consider it the greatest accomplishment of my life" and "I regularly wake up from dreams in which I am in the act of murdering him" that should raise alarms in any prudent person's head. I know Cornette is a funny guy probably given to hyperbole, but if the story is true then even his own friend that he made these comments to thought they were far enough beyond the pale for Cornette that they needed to be brought to someone's attention.

There's also the possibility Cornette is working everyone, so who knows.

A billion people every single goddamn day say or write,"I'll kill that motherfucker!" and not a goddamn one of them do because it's hyperbole and the fact that a single person on the entire planet could read that e-mail and take it as a statement of actual intent is refuckingdiculous. As for the "terroristic" comment, if he's not e-mailing Vince Russo telling him he wants to murder him and piss on his grave then it's not "terroristic" ipso facto it's loving stupid that anybody in the world is taking this seriously.

Umm why did he post this on the Internet? And do you really believe he has constant dreams of murdering Vince Russo? Like, seriously?

It's obvious from his shoots and stuff that he hates Russo for being a stupid dumbass, but doesn't give a poo poo about him. He goes into gently caress YOU VINCE RUSSO mode, but it's clearly for show.

I really want to see Cornette and Russo get in a "shoot" fight with each other. And by "shoot" I mean an out of shape 50-year-old vs. an out of shape 60-year-old throwing kind-of punches at each other until, let's say, The Destroyer, seperates them like a couple of 10-year-olds fighting over a baseball card.

Cornette is actually a few months younger than Vince Russo. Cornette has been in this business for SO LONG and he's still just 48. However he's basically crippled so, it'd be an out of shape 49 year old against a crippled 48 year old.
