3. “Dolph Ziggler is the second coming of Curt Hennig” – Jim Cornette
During a recent appearance on WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross’ “Ross Report”, Jim Cornette talked about the wrestlers he would’ve liked to manage. Below is what he said:
On Which Tag Team He Would’ve Have Liked To Manage:
“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.”
On Which Singles Wrestler He Would’ve Have Liked To Manage:
“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.
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.”
