Hatred For Cornette
Easily the most divisive wrestling personality in the world today, former manager and booker Jim Cornette has made a hugely successful second career through shoot interviews and his podcasts over the last 20 years. Naturally, this controversy has made him a figure of hatred for many fans.
It is well-documented that one of his pet peeves is the overuse of gymnastics and acrobatics in wrestling – a style popularized by the Jackson duo. Many insults and threats have been exchanged between the sides, with The Bucks having worked in many companies Cornette used to. A heated autograph signing saw Cornette allegedly state “we have the only angle that’s working everyone”, with the Jacksons then stating they would never work with him again. To this day, there is still a large amount of dispute between the rivalling opposition.
Although this is all up for opinion, it commonly seems The Bucks have the moral high ground, standing up for unprovoked attacks on themselves and their peers. This means there will always be some foes to fight for justice against the commonly-hated Cornette.
Reaction To Being Sued
The Bucks have nothing if not a snide and smarmy sense of humour and coolness. This was further proved by a supposed suing of the duo by WWE, in a story that’s just funny.
WWE threatened the Indie-darling with a $150,000 lawsuit for their usage of the ‘Too Sweet’ hand gesture originally used by the NWO. Yes, the WWE was suing other wrestlers for using a taunt not created by them, but by WCW nonetheless.
In response to this, the Jackson 2 released merchandise saying ‘Cease and Desist’. Furthermore, they also started to censor their use of the hand pose in a satirical fashion.
