The Bloodline, a dominant faction in the WWE, has been nothing short of phenomenal throughout its run. With a strong storyline and impressive box office numbers, they have undoubtedly left their mark on the wrestling world. However, according to 63-year-old veteran Jim Cornette, their in-ring talent does not quite match up to the legendary Four Horsemen.
In a recent episode of Jim Cornette’s Drive-Thru, the veteran wrestling personality discussed the topic of the greatest faction in history, stating that while Bloodline may be the best when it comes to drawing money and storytelling, they do not hold a candle to the Four Horsemen in terms of in-ring talent.
Cornette noted that the Four Horsemen featured some of the biggest names in the industry, including Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard, Arn Anderson, Ole Anderson, Lex Luger, and Barry Windham. He emphasized that having four of the top 10 in-ring performers in the business all part of one group is a feat in itself, a testament to their exceptional talent.
On the other hand, Cornette acknowledged that The Bloodline has certainly had its share of impressive performers, but emphasized that when it comes to overall in-ring talent, they fall short. He praised the faction’s ability to draw money and get people excited about their storylines, but expressed his opinion that they are not the best when it comes to being in the ring.
It’s worth noting that Cornette is not trying to disparage The Bloodline in any way, and he even gave credit to their achievements in drawing money and creating a compelling storyline. However, his emphasis on the importance of in-ring talent suggests that he believes it is a vital aspect of making a successful faction.
The debate about whether The Bloodline is the greatest faction in history is far from over, and opinions are likely to remain divided. However, Jim Cornette’s assessment serves as a reminder that there is more to being a great faction than just drawing money and creating a compelling storyline.
