While I am neutral with Cornette as well, because he is not best person in the world by far, I have to imagine that other than Owen Hart's death, this one probably has to be even worse for him. One can say that Cornette himself was defined in a way by the Midnight Express as the '3rd Man'.
I am sure Cornette would have made a name for himself, but being paired with those two, and the legacy that was formed out of it. This one is basically like losing a brother figure, and with Bobby, it's like losing the more humble one.
