Jim Cornette has taken Logan Paul and Ricochet to task over their recent risk-taking at Money In The Bank.
During the men’s Money In The Bank Ladder Match, Ricochet and Logan Paul were battling at the top of a ladder when they were pushed onto the ropes. While the transition wasn’t the smoothest, Ricochet quickly launched himself backward hitting a Spanish Fly on the YouTube star through two tables.
The spot sparked a rivalry that is rumoured to run all the way to SummerSlam after the pair came face-to-face on Raw.
Reflecting on the spot at Money In The Bank on his Jim Cornette Experience podcast, the legendary manager said he couldn’t understand why the two high-flyers even tried to do the stunt.
“They had to rush it because they were trying to f****** do a Goddamn tight rope act with the ladder still leaning on the top rope and two 200, well Logan Paul’s 200 and something pounds, Ricochet 160, on it and they backflipped off the top rope and went head first through the tables. Actually, through the second table. The first one just turned over ’cause they mostly missed that.
“What the f***, why would you even think you should do something like that if you could nail it 100 times out of 100,” Cornette said. “Why would either guy? The experienced professional Ricochet, oh my God. They very nearly went completely head first.”
Jim Cornette No Fan Of Grayson Waller
During the same episode, Cornette also took aim at Grayson Waller after the star confronted John Cena at Money In The Bank. The veteran suggested that his whole act is “totally fake,” explaining the segment didn’t work because Waller isn’t on Cena’s level.
