Jim Cornette ran Smokey Mountain Wrestling in the 90s
If you're being managed by this man, get ready to go all the way to the top. If you can't talk, even better. Just shut up and let Corny have the microphone, and you'll get an entertaining promo that will elevate you to instant main event status.
He was without a doubt one of the masters of getting heel heat not just on the guys he managed, but especially on himself! His look and how he came off as an annoying bad guy manager on TV just made every fan in the crowd want to slap the guy, which was always just pure gold! He used his million dollar mic skills to excite (or incite) the crowd in all the right ways.

Overall, a great manager, an amazing promo, and an outstanding promoter who stands by and defends his principles, he is now known for his terrific analysis of the business. He was everywhere and knows everybody. He could and can always make everyone look good, the Midnight Express would be inconceivable without Cornette.
You won't find one better than James E. Cornette!

Richie Jewell
My name is Richie Jewell. I'm 25 years old and I have autism since I was born. Like everyone else in the world, I have an up-down life like a sea-saw. I went through some of the stuff that has been a rocky roadblock during my life. It was very challenging to live through and what not. The thing that helped me keep living was wrestling. It was escape from my troubles since I was 8. Although wrestling had its up and downs over the years, It was helping me to cope through getting picked on, depression and so many others. From WWE, ROH, TNA Wrestling, Lucha Underground, PWG and New Japan Pro Wrestling, Im very thankful for the sport that has helped to cope through and gave me wonderful moments to witness from my own eyes. If it wasnt for the sport, I wouldn't know where I would be today.If I could snap my fingers and be non-autistic, I would not because then, it wouldn't be me. Autism is part of who I am and what made me so unique This who I am and always will be: I am Richie Jewell.
