Jim Cornette wasn't a fan of a late wrestler

Former WWE personality Jim Cornette feels that The Ultimate Warrior was one of the worst wrestlers in the history of the business.

On Jim Cornette's Drive-Thru podcast, Cornette was asked by a fan who he believes was the worst wrestler. The former WWE star had some doubts as to what the criteria should be for qualifying someone as the worst wrestler.

He named the late Ultimate Warrior as one of the worst as he was bad at promos and in the ring, but questioned if the Hall of Famer should be added to the list as he drew a lot of money.

"And then you've got The Ultimate Warrior. Is he the worst wrestler of all time that actually got big and made money? He never had a good match and was always the shi*ts at both promos and in ring. But because he made all that money, because Vince had the fetish over bodybuilders, does that qualify him to be removed from the list of world's worst wrestlers because he made millions of dollars at it?" asked Cornette.

Jim Cornette didn't think highly of WWE legend Ultimate Warrior's in-ring abilities

Cornette, while reviewing one of Kenny Omega's a few years ago, said that he didn't like the AEW star's mannerisms, which were akin to Ultimate Warrior.

He said that he doesn't like anything that reminds him of Ultimate Warrior as the late star was one of the "worst pushed wrestlers in a major promotion ever".

Cornette was part of WWE's creative team when Warrior returned to the company in 1996 and was also a part of the team that went into negotiationsie with the late star, as per Jim Ross.
