British tabloid retracts Jim Cornette story
After reporting that Jim Cornette’s release from TNA was due to a heated argument over a booking issue at a production meeting between Cornette and Vince Russo, The U.K. Sun now says that their story was inaccurate.
“The company let wrestling legend Jim go earlier this week, with an industry insider telling us it was because he threw a temper tantrum,” The U.K. Sun’s Simon Rothstein wrote. “However, we now accept that this account was inaccurate.
"A source in TNA told us: ‘There is no truth to any of these rumours. I can tell you, as someone who has been there every moment, that Jim was a total professional the whole time. Jim had an amicable split from TNA and that the door is open for him to return in the future.’ ”
As someone who believes that Cornette has a lot to offer the wrestling business, I hope The U.K. Sun’s story is accurate this time.

So after this, are you weary of any more news coming from the U.K. Sun?
REPONSE FROM KE: They are a tabloid so I take a lot -- not all -- of what they say with a grain of salt. If you'll notice, I always use phrases such as "according to a report in [fill in the blank]" when commenting on a story on another site. I also said "if this story is accurate ..."
