Dan Lambert: Jim Cornette Is The Greatest Manager Of All Time
There are many great managers in the history of professional wrestling, but believes that Jim Cornette is the greatest of all time.
Dan Lambert was a recent guest on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet to discuss a wide variety of subjects. When asked about the greatest wrestling managers of all time, Lambert was quick to put over Jim Cornette.
“Jim Cornette is the greatest manager of all time. He just is,” Dan Lambert said. “I think [better than Heyman], and I love Heyman, but I grew up with Cornette. A lot of it, who you remember as the greatest football player or basketball player, is who you were the most exposed to when you were younger.
“Bobby Heenan towards the end of his run, I have been watching since the late ’70s, but it was towards the end of his run when he was in the AWA when I first started watching wrestling, so I didn’t have much exposure to him before he went to WWE. We didn’t get AWA until it was on ESPN for a short period. But Cornette was right in my wheelhouse.
“Man, he was just so good. I know a lot of people have said that the things I have said in your promos are what Cornette has said on his podcast, but I don’t listen to podcasts. So, I’m like, oh cool, if Cornette says it, then it must be right. I always took that as a compliment, I thought the guy was so great back in the day.”
