Jim Cornette Compares Austin Theory To A Young John Cena

Jim Cornette has made it no secret that he’s a big fan of WWE Raw star Austin Theory, and now he’s even comparing him to John Cena.

Cena, who was one of Theory’s heroes growing up, was trained in a large part by Cornette himself in OVW, and Cornette reckons Theory is already showing signs of being better than Cena.

Speaking on the latest Jim Cornette Experience, he said:

“John Cena’s only advantage over Austin Theory at this point in both of their careers was John Cena was a better promo.

“I saw them both at the same age at the same time – I’m sure John Cena as a human being was probably more mature and developed than Austin Theory, because he was that way, he was a f**king mature responsible person even then.

“But Austin Theory is better at everything else at this stage of the game than John Cena was, and I saw both of them.”

This is the second straight week that Jim Cornette has complimented Theory in such a way, having said last week that he couldn’t find a single flaw in his work.

Theory has been announced for the men’s Royal Rumble match this coming Saturday, and is apparently set for an impressive outing. You can find a full list of names who have officially been confirmed for both Rumble matches at this link.
