PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO BOOKMARK US & VISIT US DAILY
Each month PWTorch offers a "Vintage Audio Torch Talk" which has never before been heard from our 20-plus year vault of big-name long-form in-depth insider interviews. Each vintage interview is featured for only about a month and then replaced (i.e. not archived) with a new vintage interview. Your only chance to hear these interviews is to be a VIP member and remain a VIP member each month.
The new Vintage Audio Torch Talk, being heard now for the first time ever (previously published only in transcript format), is with Jim Cornette. In this interview he talks in detail about his frustration with WCW, in particular V.P. Jim Herd. He also talks about his philosophy on the state of the industry, its future, changes he'd make, and much more.
This is published at a time when Cornette, one of the most passionate and respected pro wrestling booking minds, is part of TNA during a time of internal turmoil that could lead to changes. His name has certainly been part of speculation and discussions about a qualified future booker for a time when Vince Russo is either fired or steps down. This interview provides insight, even nearly 20 years later, into what approach he'd bring to TNA today.
This is the first of several installments. Stay tuned for future installments in coming days and weeks.
