Last night following Kevin Owens winning the NXT Championship, one-half of The Young Bucks, Matt Jackson tweeted former ROH booker Jim Cornette and image of The Young Bucks, who recaptured the IWGP Jr. Tag Team Championships Wednesday night at NJPW's The New Beginning from reDRagon, and Owens with the NXT Championship, which you can see below. As we reported here in December, this goes back to when Cornette was head booker of Ring of Honor and had multiple issues with talent such as The Young Bucks, Sami Zayn (then El Generico) and Kevin Owens (then Kevin Steen), whom all have spoken about publicly. Cornette felt that Steen and Generico couldn't draw, and released The Young Bucks, telling them to get their jobs back with TNA.

Folks on my ass today--I missed where being given minor wrestling belts equals "drawing money"--but nice to see the 2 in NXT took my advice-
