jim corbett 

James J Corbett aka Gentleman jim was a profesional boxer who fought during the late 19 century, many consider him to be the father of modern boxing and the one who turn boxing from a sweet science to an artform, he got his chance at the heavyweight title when he beat the great american bareknuckle fighter called John L Sullivan, it was sullivan's first fight with gloves, which cost him his only loss, after that sullivan retired.

Corbett went up to loose the title to bob fitzsimmons in 1897, he fought peter jackson in 1893 to a 60 round NO CONTEST (Fights back then that went the distance were declared a "NO CONTEST").Corbett went up to fight the heavyweight champion james jeffries but was quickly knocked out, so was in their 2nd fight, after the 2nd fight corbett retired from the boxing ring, he turned into james jeffries's trainer during the 1910 fight of the decade of jack johnson (who was the heavyweight champion) v.s james jeffries, many whites were looking for a "WHITE HOPE" to bring the title back to the white race, apparently jeffries being away for 6 years cost him the only loss in his career.

After the jeffries fight, corbett retired completely from the ring and played in many movies and acting in theaters, he passed away in NEW YORK at the age of 66 of cancer.

Jim Cornette 

One of the best managers, bookers and overall personalities in wrestling history. While currently retired from the wrestling business, Cornette owns a podcast that led him to become one of the most listened and most subscribed wrestling personalities on YouTube.

While one of the best talkers in wrestling history, Jim Cornette is perhaps best known for his outspoken criticisms with modern wrestling (especially in WWE and AEW), most notably hardcore wrestling, cartoonish and goofy gimmicks, videogame-based movesets in the ring, performers who constantly break kayfabe and never take the business seriously (a.k.a "wrestlers" who prefer sports entertainment than actual wrestling), and modern wrestling fans who support all of the above.

Last, but not least, he is known for having outbursts when talking about people he hates the most, most of them that belong (or belonged) in the wrestling business. Some of the notable examples are: Vince Russo (the number one on his list, also identified by Cornette as 'shit stain' or 'the Archbishop of Talentbury'), Kevin Dunn, Ed Ferrara, John Laurinaitis, Greg the Office Boy (from Ring of Honor), Jim Herd, Tim Horner, Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, Joey Janella (a.k.a "Jelly Nutella"), Marko Stunt, Donald Trump and all republicans.

Hardcore wrestling fan: "Bro, I loved seeing Jon Moxley sticking a fork on that guy's head! That was awesome!"
Jim Cornette: "How about I stick a fork up your ass, you mother******!"
