Owens taking jabs at Cornette online is likely him remembering the bad stuff Cornette said about him and less about if Cornette ended up being right or not. Same for the Young Bucks and other wrestlers Cornette trashed over the years.

Have you seen the shoot where Cornette explains what went down with ROH. Fascinating stuff. Basically, his plan was to turn it in something like what NXT became under Triple H. They'd have a fixed "Honor Arena" and they could do their own lighting and production. Cornette also wasn't technically the booker. He worked closely with Delirious, but he became a scapegoat for ROH fans. This is where the "Cornette's an old out of touch man" stuff came from. Then you listen to his ideas and you're like "Wow, that would have actually been really cool if they would have just done Cornette's actual idea."
And as Cornette says, Delirious put the World Title on Kevin Steen, even if Cornette and Delirious were like "Dude, we need you to do this" and he didn't do it. You know -- he didn't do his job.
The Young Bucks can be a lot of fun, but everything Cornette seems to be say about them is "Nice kids, egos the size of mountains, do too many superkicks, they bury their own shit and don't even realize it."
