Jim Cornette was at the last TV tapings but never on camera, he was working as an agent backstage. Everyone backstage was putting over his work as an agent and it appears that this is where he will be used for now. With Jeff Jarrett, Mick Foley and Jim Cornette, it is felt that would be too many authority figures as TV characters, which is why the move was made. There is a possibility that Cornette could become a heel authority figure and feud with Foley.
