On the latest episode of his Jim Cornette Experience podcast, co-host Brian Last asked legendary manager Jim Cornette about his apparent hatred for WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels.
Cornette showered praise on the Heartbreak Kid as a performer, but cited his unprofessional attitude during their time together in the 1990s as why he was often at a crossroads with HBK. He said,
“No, I don’t know if I ever hated Shawn Michaels. I never felt about him the way I felt about sh*tstain or Donald Trump or any really egregious excremental excuse for a human being.”
“Just as he was a great worker, and I’ve said that great f*cking performer in the ring, just a goddamn annoying f*cking prima donna motherf*cker to be around, nasty to all my friends during the 90s, and then found God. Which I don’t believe in, so I don’t put as much faith in as everybody else when they’ve reformed. I say if you were that big of a prick before you’re probably always gonna be a prick.”
Jim Cornette also expressed that he did not like the goofy D-Generation X version of Shawn Michaels. However, he always enjoyed watching HBK in the ring.
“But I don’t hope that he gets run over by a bread truck and or falls off a cliff. And I’ve you know, whenever he is straight on television, I’m not talking about sober not sober. I’m talking about when he’s being a straight wrestler instead of making dick jokes and doing the DX reunions, I’ve never had a problem with watching Shawn Michaels’ matches.”
“It was just an annoying f*cking period of time in my life and a goddamn unprofessional f*ck to be around to get along with or deal with.”
