2010 is looked at in many circles as a make or break year in pro wrestling. Will there be a Renaissance of sorts, or the same old song & dance for wrestling & its fans. Jim went on record saying "I think for the wrestling fans in 2010, more of the same unless you tune into Ring Of Honor. It’s more of the same, and even if the talent changes, even if all the young guys get their breaks, sports-entertainment to me has gone as far as it can go. Nobody believes anything anymore. It’s silly, that’s what it is. Good wrestling can be funny, but it can never be silly. I think the wrestling fans who want to see athletes will watch Ring Of Honor, the sports-entertainment fans will go to WWE, & TNA will get the fans that want to see everything in the ring. And with Ring Of Honor outgrowing TNA in live events on a shoestring budget, people want to see something different."
Being one of the most-popular & most-recognizable managers the industry has ever seen, the obvious question t hat many fans would like to have answered is quite simple: If Vince McMahon called Jim Cornette & asked him to be in the WWE Hall Of Fame, what would his answer be? If this took place leading into WrestleMania XXVI, Jim’s answer may surprise some. "If there was a big payoff involved & a trip to a place that I really wanted to go then yeah, but other than that, I’m not really interested. They’re not gonna ask me, I’m not going to have worry about it. I’m not gonna lose sleep over it. I’m in The Wrestling Observer Hall Of Fame…people actually voted for that. I’m been recognized by others, but the WWE Hall Of Fame is based on who Vince likes this year, who are we selling a video of, who’s dead or was once over in the territory, & what city are we in."
