Jim Cornette goes on epic rant against WWE NXT’s Mason Rook and Paul Walter Hauser

Last week, Jim Cornette engaged in a social media feud with both NXT star Mason Rook and actor/wrestler Paul Walter Hauser. Not one to bow out quietly, Corny went for the jugular this week on the two men in the latest episode of his Jim Cornette Experience podcast. During the episode released this week, Cornette criticized the plus-sized Rook’s physical appearance before taking shots at what he perceived as Hauser’s lack of wrestling knowledge. The beef started after Hauser posted a video on X (Twitter) last week of a match between Rook — who has received enthusiastic praise from John Cena on multiple instances — and Jackson Drake. Hauser wrote that the crowd enjoyed the match, while also throwing in a reference to WWE Hall of Famer Nick Bockwinkel. “Watch & listen to the crowd. The people who paid MONEY to watch this show are LOVING it,“ Hauser wrote. “They do not care about the Twittersphere’s ‘Wiser Than Thou’ disdain parade. Sorry it didn’t meet your Nick Bockwinkle [sic] require
