Former WWE Champion reveals why he hates Jim Cornette and Vince Russo

A former WWE Champion recently shared why he was not a fan of Vince Russo and Jim Cornette. The WWE star in question has been out for a couple of months with a major injury.

Seth Rollins was interviewed on comedian Jay Mohr's Mohr Stories podcast and was asked who he would side with in a public feud between Jim Cornette and Vince Russo. The Visionary admitted that he hated both wrestling legends but ultimately decided that he would back Cornette over Russo.

“I’ve hung out with Cornette because Cornette was a booker of mine. He was fine. He’s super entertaining. I mean, the guy can still cut a promo. He’s just a victim of the hot-take culture where he has to say the craziest thing that comes to his brain, and that’s how he makes his money on his podcast. They’re both idiots. But if I had to pick one, it’d be Cornette. He hates Vince Russo with a passion. That is real. [Does anybody love Vince Russo other than Vince Russo?] Nobody that I’m aware of. He’s just a hanger-on, man. That guy’s an idiot," said Seth Rollins. [H/T: No DQ]
