Cornette kinda irks me sometimes with his "Old man yells at cloud" mentality towards the business but he's speaking a lot of truth here. Aries is talented but his ego has always been his biggest problem. I don't know that I would say Aries has "failed" because dude has had a lot of success, but he hasn't been what he could /should be because he can't get out of his own way.

Crazy thing is Cornette is a year younger than Vince Russo. Wouldn't have guessed that based on their philosophies towards wrestling.

having an ego is kind of something you expect from a superstar though.

before the monopoly era all these guys had egos, they just don't have that same freedom anymore.

half the reason we don't have legit stars anymore is because these guys aren't encouraged or even allowed to have egos. the moment they show up vince even an inch they will be out on their ass.

:ohhh:Damn, I thought Cornette was in his sixties atleast based off how he conducts himself.


Must've been one of those people who were born old.

That is wild because I legit thought he was way older. I guess he just got an "old soul" as they say. He's got a real love for the business and is really knowledgeable, I just wish he was a little more open to embracing change.

Aries has never been a big enough star to warrant his ego though lol
