Jim Cornette confirms intentions to work with Jacob Fatu for one major reason; his last WWE appearance was 1,448 days days ago
Former WWE manager Jim Cornette recently said he is willing to work with Jacob Fatu. Cornette last appeared for the company on the October 23, 2020, episode of Story Time.
It's no secret that Cornette is a huge fan of The Samoan Werewolf, who made his WWE debut on the June 21 episode of SmackDown. Despite being a heavyweight competitor, Fatu can perform high-flying moves like cruiserweight wrestlers.
On the latest episode of The Jim Cornette Experience, Cornette and his co-host, Brian Last, discussed the main event tag team match at WWE Bad Blood. The 63-year-old personality was impressed with Fatu's Moonsault to the point where he was open to taking the bump despite his age.
"I don't know that there's anybody else that I'd let moonsault me except for Jacob Fatu because I've never seen him potato anybody with it," Cornette said. [5:15 - 5:24]
Jacob Fatu protects the recipients of his Moonsault. It's an effortless move for someone of his size. Another impressive feat Fatu can do is an Arabian Press Moonsault. It's a multi-jump Moonsault usually performed off the top rope.
Jim Cornette further impressed with Jacob Fatu's moonsault
In addition to openly admitting that he was willing to take Jacob Fatu's Moonsault, Jim Cornette had more good things to say about The Samoan Werewolf's maneuver. Cornette first saw Fatu use it when he was signed to Major League Wrestling.
"Fatu with that f**king Springboard Moonsault and he doesn't even have to look and he nails it every time. It's amazing. The first time I saw him do that in MLW, I was like he doesn't look physically like he should be able to do the shit that he does and he was probably 50 pounds heavier then," Cornette said. [4:46 - 5:11]
Fatu has been booked as a dominant henchman since his WWE debut. He has not been pinned in televised matches so far.
