Steve Cornino has been signed to be a trainer at the performance center

Kevin Owens on Twitter called him one of the most influential people on his career.

Maybe someone in WWE just wanted to watch ROH TV without hearing somebody shouting about superkicks or wanted to put an end to the nonsensical Kevin Sullivan angle?!

Schiavone working at Starbucks doesn't necessarily mean he needed money.  Their benefits are pretty great.  He honestly may have just wanted the insurance.

Whatever reason Schiavone has for working at Starbucks, it's inexcusable that he doesn't have David Crockett working there with him, reading off drinks and customer names and then repeatedly urging Tony to look at them.

I caught Dusty's "Hard Times" promo this morning on The Network. it got me thinking about career / character defining promos. 

Austin has the 3:16 promo. 

Undertaker has the Stranded in the Desert with The Big Show. 

Bret... I want to say his "This is Bullsh*t!" promo is the defining moment in the WWE tinkering with the idea of Attitude era.

I want this to be true.

But if they also bring him in as a ring announcer...and HBK is in the Rumble...Dusty's Ghost help us all.

I'm a little biased on this because I live close to Pittsburgh but I'll never, ever forget Bret's "If you gave the United States of America an enema, you'd stick the hose right here in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania!" line. 

Probably not "career defining" but memorable, nonetheless.

"I'm gonna yank out my Johnson and piss in this hellhole!"

"You're saying I'm not good enough, aren't you Ric?"

Great discussion idea.

The Miz's Talking Smack promo and Warrior's "Crash the plane" promo are the first two to come to mind that no one's mentioned yet.

Do we have any idea how much Tony Schiavone made? Dude worked on TV for 20+ years. I'm surprised to hear him say he is/was looking for health benefits by getting a job at Starbucks.

The station in Atlanta he works at now has terrible insurance. I worked there for a while and it is the absolute worst...
