I\u2019ve been a pro wrestling fan since I was eight years old, so I knew what I was getting into. I\u2019ve been a fan. I had playground championships and all these things. So for me, coming in, it was not much of a transition at all. It was actually a lot of fun. I don\u2019t want to say it was easy, but looking back, it was for me, fairly easy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Praise for Jim Cornette:<\/b> &#8220;I think it was one of the best things for me because I was taught the old-school style of wrestling and how you conduct yourself. Along with Jim Cornette, I give credit to Rip Rogers, Danny Davis, Nick Dinsmore and Rob Conway. I consider all of those guys my mentors. But Corny in particular, again, I was a fan of wrestling, so I knew exactly who he was. He was the first guy that I met that I marked out for. Because this is Jim Cornette. I remember this guy hitting Baby Doll with the tennis racket to make him be the heel who Dusty Rhodes wanted to get. So I go way back with it. It was awesome for me working under Jim.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know he\u2019s a very polarizing figure for a lot of people, but he\u2019s been nothing but a friend and a mentor to me. He\u2019s hard on us when he has to be. I always say no matter, at least in my experience, whether you like what Jim says or whether you don\u2019t like what Jim says, no matter what, he\u2019s being honest. I\u2019ve never heard of Jim Cornette telling a lie, because Jim Cornette would rather curse you out than lie.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-3415109125\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":147962,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2837,8,2],"tags":[2486,534,5467,313,589,1646,5466,5468,1099],"class_list":["post-167388","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aew-news","category-interview_highlights","category-newsticker","tag-aew","tag-baby-doll","tag-danny-davis","tag-dusty-rhodes","tag-jim-cornette","tag-nick-dinsmore","tag-rip-rogers","tag-rob-conway","tag-shelton-benjamin"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
