Nothing to do with the cuts happening at the moment but due to the fact he slapped a development guy down in OVW for joking around and not being serious during a show a good 10 times or so.

So just a note to all WWE employees - unless your name is JBL or Hardcore Holly you are not allowed to assault anyone

Sonjay Dutt and Ruckus are probably the most well known. Although Ruckus had already made a start as a back-yarder before Dahmer helped to hone his skills.

I know Jon Dahmer's the CZW head trainer, but who has he actually trained? I've never bothered to find out.

Ah well, even if he has, his brother was the one who was actually the talented trainer...

and to prove the point:-

Trained by Dean and Joe = Chad Collyer

Trained by Dean on his own = Crash Holly.

You'd still think people would pick up some skills from the guy considering his excellent abilities

Well, Lance is unproven as a trainer and seeing as he 'assisted' in the training of Justin Credible, I have to assume he's not actually that good at passing on his abilities...

Matt Morgan was Al Snow's personal project. So, we can assume Al's training abilites have deserted him since the days of his 'bodyslammers' gyms...

Malenko's actually a Road Agent, not a trainer.

And Cornette has taught them all he knows, but swinging a tennis racket will only get you so far.

Time to invest in some decent trainers methinks...wonder if Tazz or Perry would fancy it? Jerry Lynn perhaps, or even Jon Dahmer.

It did say in the article that people have noticed him being burned out the last few months, i guess all the stress built up and when the kid screwed up the angle he just lost it

I have to say, I have a certain amount of sympathy for Cornette. A guy you've been building up as a monster heel for months is suddenly made to look stupid by a disrespectful trainee.

I'd have slapped him too. I suspect Cornette's firing is an accumulation of things, not just this one incident.

it's irrelevant whether the guy could take it or not, i doubt being slapped about is agreed upon when signing with OVW.

no.. no it wasn't :P

Your sentence is invalid.
No doubt Cornette should have been fired for what he did, but I was asking was: how did a puny man(if you have ever seen him) get away with slapping a big strong wrestler?
But then I found out it was a student and realised my question was also invalid. Huzzah!

it's not a question of being able to take it, it's a matter of professional misconduct and that the guy would be perfectly within his rights to sue for unreasonable working conditions or similar.

releasing cornette is a way of sidestepping.
