The Wrestling Observer has confirmed with Ring of Honor officials this week that Jim Cornette is "officially on sabbatical" from the promotion. According to the report, Cornette "blew up" at the last television tapings in Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania and was not scheduled to attend the 12/16 Final Battle iPPV. The report states Cornette became very frustrated with how some things had been going both inside and outside the company and had used wording that was described as being "stronger than one would expect to get away with" in a company now run by the Sinclair Broadcast Group. Sources within ROH felt Cornette had been burnt out. Hunter "Delirious" Johnson, who remains the booker of ROH, will be replacing Cornette for the time being to assist in the production of television.

Interesting.

I thought they were headed in the right direction before when Delirious was the booker, then after the first Best in the World and whole Sinclair deal with Cornette coming back they seemed to lose their focus and identity. With Delirious now back in charge this can only be a positive change in direction, especially headed into their biggest show of the year Final Battle.

I've said this before but I feel all wrestling promotions have great rosters, however what ultimately will make or break the company and wrestlers as a whole is the booking. You can fill a roster with all wrestlers that put on 5 star matches, but if you book them to look like garbage it's not going to matter
