CHARLOTTE -- Jim Cornette -- backed by a legion of fans -- shouted
down members of the Insane Clown Posse's posse at the
Mid-Atlantic wrestling reunion early Sunday morning.
Former referee Tommy Young unknowingly handed the mike
to a posse member during a question-and-answer session
with Cornette.
The volatile manager, asked why he hated the
rap/wrestling entourage, leaped out of his chair and
denounced the group with a string of epithets and
put-downs. "There's no such thing as rap music,"
Cornette insisted to cheers. "Rap is noise that no one
wants to particularly hear which is why you boys have
to pick up those little outlaw bookings for $25 a
shot."
He dismissed Rude Boy, the Insane Clown Posse's merchandise man and a friend of his, with another series of expletives. Before things became more heated, promoter Greg Price escorted the members out of the session as the audience directed a chorus of "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss
Him Goodbye" at them.
We'll have a full report of the weekend's events on Monday from Chris Schramm, and on Tuesday, we'll have more on Cornette's well-received give-and-take from Steven Johnson.
