Jim Cornette Contemplates Murdering Vince Russo

When you are Jim Cornette, the lines are definitely blurred between pro wrestling and reality. The blurred line may cost Jim Cornette dearly as a recent email of his reveals his desires to murder TNA Wrestling writer Vince Russo. TNA responded with legal warnings and the wrestling world is a buzz.

In case you haven’t heard, Jim Cornette doesn’t like Vince Russo. Cornette has cut venomous promos on Vince Russo for well over a decade. Corny’s last rant has caused quite a stir in the TNA Wrestling offices. The ROH Executive Producer in an email to Terry Taylor said the following.

“I will say it because I am trying to quell the burning in my heart–I hate Vince Russo. I despise Vince Russo. I want Vince Russo to die. If I could figure out a way to murder him without going to prison, I would consider it the greatest accomplishment of my life.”

Additionally Cornette wrote, “I don’t want any of you to be harmed or affected because of their stupid decisions, but as I said, it’s now my life’s work to f*ck with anything Russo has anything to do with.”

Cornette said several other things that weren’t very flattering towards the TNA Wrestling writer, but it was the paragraph about murder that got the attention of TNA management and their legal counsel. TNA responded with a letter back to Cornette.

“It is our view that the foregoing statements constitute “terroristic threats” under virtually every jurisdiction in the country, including under the US Code (18 USC 875) and Kentucky State Law (KRS 508.080). Generally, under both Federal and State Law, a person will be guilty of having made terroristic threats if such person willfully threatens to commit a crime which would result in death or great bodily injury to the victim and demonstrates specific intent to communicate such threat to the victim or to a third party who the perpetrator believes will convey such threat to the intended victim.” Somebody call Jimmy’s mother!
