Jim Cornette's Career

Jim Cornette 3

Cornette chose the ring name James E. Cornette in honor of legendary wrestling promoter James E. Barnett before making his managing debut. On September 25, 1982, Cornette made his ringside debut, managing Sherri Martel, who would later become a wrestling manager. Jim was given the gimmick of a rich kid turned inept manager whose clients fired him after just one match. Dutch Mantell and Crusher Broomfield were the most notable wrestlers in this angle. Jim also managed Jesse Barr, Exotic Adrian Street, the “Cornette Dynasty” of Carl Fergie, Norman Frederick Charles III, and the Angel over the next 14 months. Cornette returned to Memphis in July 1983, after a brief stint in Georgia as part of Jarrett’s deal with Ole Anderson, and worked as co-manager alongside Jimmy Hart.

In November 1983, Mid-South promoter Bill Watts recognized that his business was declining and sought to revitalize his territory. Watts invited Jerry Jarrett and Jerry Lawler to come to a TV taping and share their thoughts. Jarrett proposed a talent swap and invited Watts to Memphis to meet with players he liked. After seeing a Memphis TV taping, Watts formed a new tag team with singles performers Dennis Condrey and Bobby Eaton and the existing team of Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson as The Rock’ n’ Roll Express. Because Jarrett still required the more senior Jimmy Hart, Watts assigned Cornette to manage his new team, which chose the name The Midnight Express. Rick Rude and Jim Neidhart were two notable wrestlers who left the Mid-South for Memphis.

Cornette’s time in the Mid-South was also significant because it marked the start of the rivalry with the Rock’ n’ Roll Express. Starting in May 1984, following the Last Stampede series, the two teams feuded for the rest of the year in front of sold-out crowds across the territory. The two teams, in particular, set attendance records in Houston, Tulsa, and Oklahoma City, resulting in 1984 being the most successful year in Mid-South history and The Midnight Express and Cornette becoming national stars.
