Since GFW/Impact are doing Bound for Glory in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Jim
Cornette is already done with the promotion. The PPV will take place on 11/5 and
there will be TV tapings on November 6-10. Cornette hasn't been to Canada for
years because he was turned away at the border in 2010 when they ran his record.
His record had a number of assault charges from the time he was a manager in the
80’s. He would be attacked by fans before and after and sometimes fought back.
When he was involved with Ring of Honor he would never attend their shows in
Toronto. There is no heat between him and GFW it was just a matter of
circumstances. He was called into GFW by Jeff Jarrett to get some of the angles
over with the plan of him being a heel manager. After his first set of tapings
he and Jarrett agreed that he would come back for Bound for Glory and for a few
days at the next tapings in November. Since Jarrett isn’t with the company
anymore his position wasn’t secure and when he read on the internet Jarrett was
gone he called agent Bob Ryder, who told him not to believe what he read on the
Internet. Cornette then talked to creative team member Dutch Mantell and
explained to him he could not go to Canada. |
