Opinion: 5 things Jim Cornette ought to do for a better 2020

#2: Find a creative outlet within professional wrestling

If you have watched a lot of Sean Oliver shoot-style interviews featuring Jim Cornette, you are likely to have seen what a strong memory Cornette has for wrestling history. You will also likely have observed him "booking" territories, showing his creativity on the fly.

While Cornette worked with both MLW and the NWA in 2019 as an on-air commentator, he was obviously also employed to help guide talent. After all, he did work directly with main-event talent during his WWF, WCW, NWA, ROH and TNA tenures, so it wouldn't be out of reach to assume that Cornette was a notable creative contributor to many of the business' top storylines to the last few decades.

With Cornette stepping down from NWA earlier this year -- and him having stepped down from Major League Wrestling presumably so he could focus more on his NWA work -- he does not appear to be under contract to an American wrestling company now or in 2020. In turn, his only known involvement within the wrestling world appears to his podcasting and the occasional signing at a convention or independently-produced event within driving distance of Louisville.

Hopefully 2020 delivers a way for Cornette's wrestling mind to be properly utilized. Whether that's sending in creative ideas remotely -- which Saturday Night Live and lots of American late-night talk shows have welcomed over the years when writers weren't available on-site -- or going back to one of his former employers, there are plenty of ways in which Cornette's expertise could be beneficially applied to the wrestling business.
