Jim Cornette confirmed one of TNA's most infamous backstage stories on the season premiere of Dark Side of the Ring.

Asked directly whether he ever made a terroristic threat toward Vince Russo, Cornette answered, "Well, it depends on what you call terroristic. The letter was, and I quote, if I could kill Vince Russo and get away with it, I would kill him."

Russo, who was also interviewed, said: "You're gonna kill somebody over professional wrestling? Are you kidding me?"

Cornette said the letter got him reported to the FBI, adding, "He knows that I legitimately despise him because he's a moron and he's in over his head." Cornette was let go from TNA in 2009, during the period covered by the episode, when Russo was given full creative control after Jeff Jarrett was sidelined. 

Russo: "Jim Cornette, to this day, does not understand this is a television show."

Parts one and two of Jeff Jarrett's TNA are available now, with part three airing Tuesday at 9 PM ET on Vice TV.
