Posted ImageJIM CORNETTE (2009):
"Thoughts on the current state of the industry? Grim [laughs]. The biggest problem is that people from outside of wrestling have taken over the direction of the business through the corporate takeovers – and Turner Broadcasting started that. And Vince [McMahon] gave more power to the children, and Stephanie started bringing in the Los Angeles comedy writers. As a result of those things, a lot of bad things have happened, but chief among them for the perpetuation of the wrestling industry is that they’ve decimated their developmental system in WWE and there are fewer places for guys to get into wrestling and have full-time work, so therefore there’s fewer wrestlers than ever before, and there’s fewer experienced wrestlers than ever before.
And if you notice, the main event stars are getting older. You know, that happens to most people as time goes on. And as a result, I wonder if in five or 10 years, even if there’s money to present wrestling, where are the wrestlers going to be that we present? That’s the one thing they haven’t been able to figure out.

Without talent, I don’t care how funny the writers are or how many comedy lines they come up, without wrestlers you can’t have a wrestling program. That I think is the biggest problem."
