Val Venis’ comments on social media have been a hot topic of discussion over recent months due to often being potentially libelous. He has slammed The Rock, Mick Foley, and Batista due to supporting Joe Biden, and the other day quit social media following the new president’s inauguration. Now controversial podcaster Jim Cornette has commented on Venis by saying he had all the tools to be a star but blamed Vince Russo for ruining his career. He then adds that when he knew Venis, he had a good head on his shoulders and didn’t say such bizarre things.
Val Venis gave Sean Morley a what? Three-year run, maybe? Not even on top, and killed the rest of his f*cking career. In the last 20 years, what’s he done? A few fucking reunions as Val f*cking Venis, otherwise he’s fucking poison in wrestling.
Always liked him. He wasn’t crazy then, he didn’t say batsh*t crazy things like that in those days, thought he had a good fucking head on his shoulders. Has he come under hard times and can’t afford his medication because sh*tstain killed his wrestling career in his early 30s, twenty years ago? Jim Cornette
Venis had a decade-plus run with WWE, which twice saw him hold the Intercontinental Championship, however as Cornette alluded to, he was only really over between 1998 and 2000. Once he changed gimmicks and became part of Right to Censor, his career went downhill, and even a return to his adult movie star gimmick in 2002 couldn’t help him. After being released by WWE at the start of 2009, he toured with New Japan and briefly joined TNA in 2010. Since that run came to an end, he competed on the independent scene but appears to be in semi-retirement, having wrestled just five times since 2017. Away from wrestling, he is a big advocate of cryptocurrency and has invested in two medical marijuana dispensaries in Arizona.
