When Jim Cornette talks, you need to listen. Cornette is one of the greatest minds in wrestling history and he shares his knowledge, views and inside stories on this new Shoot Interview by RF Video. Cornette takes you inside WWE developmental territory OVW and gives you the scoop on all the top names that came through there like Brock Lesner. After watching this one you’ll know what day-to-day life is like when you are working for WWE, but still on an independent level. Plus, Cornette gives a lesson on what it’s like to book. This is like a textbook on booking from one of the industry’s greatest all time bookers.
