Cornette is awesome. Seeing his spoken word tour in Birmingham last year re-emphasised my absolute love of James E.
I recommend his promos on Bill Watts in 1984 when the Midnights go to Mid-South for a tour de force in how to be an obnoxious prick.
One of my all time favourite Cornette lines is from Smoky Mountain when the Heavenly Bodies attacked Robert Gibson's father which went:
Cornette: "And then I walked right up to him and knocked his lights out"
Tom Pritchard: "Wait, that was me"
Cornette: "Oh yeh that's right, I kicked him when he was down."
