Jim Cornette fired back at Conrad Thompson on social media after Thompson defended the legacy of former WCW Executive Vice President Jim Herd.
Herd died in October at 87. Thompson wrote a column for Uncrowned praising Herd and arguing that he is mostly remembered for the negative parts of his career rather than the good he did. Thompson shared the column on X, and many fans disagreed, with several crediting Eric Bischoff for turning WCW into a profitable company.
One fan suggested Thompson talk to Cornette about Herd. Thompson replied that he already had. As Thompson kept answering fans, some accused him of being an apologist for Herd, and Cornette responded.
“OK, f— you, fat boy. Don’t be a smarta– because a walking skeleton crawled out of the woodwork & took your money for an ‘exclusive’ interview that nobody wanted for 30 years. None of the s— you mentioned was big money OR helped the business not SUCK from his other decisions,” Cornette wrote.
Thompson replied with a GIF and the caption, “Boy, that escalated quickly.”
