Corny's repeated insistence that Matt Morgan was the next big thing always made me laugh. 7 feet tall or not, that dude sucked.

Matt Morgan, 8 years into his career as a Pro Wrestler, still being called a Blue chipper was a bit that always made me laugh.

Meanwhile Cornette sleeps in a bed that smells like Matt Morgan’s nuts

It actually wasn't Ram Kaichow who Kenny wrestled. It was Haruka, a different kid who didn't end up staying in the business.

Going off memory:

WCW - booking committee, wasn't the head decision maker, until he got mad and walked out.
Smokey Mountain: propped up by Rick Rubin money, tried the territory format after the territories were all but dead, went under once Rubin pulled his funding.
WWF: booking committee, pissed everyone off/didn't like the northeast (can't blame him on not liking Connecticut), went back to Louisville, wanted to kill Vince Russo
OVW: part owner, took WWF money in exchange for training their talent, did produce a golden generation (Cena/Brock/Orton/Batista), got mad over the idea that WWF would have a say in the talent they were paying him to develop, slapped Santino and solid his part
TNA: got worked by Jeff Jarrett into working again with Vince Russo, unsure of how much power he actually had but TNA was a shitshow that no one had a prayer of making halfway decent, from his telling got out-politic'd by Russo once more and was fired or quit I don't remember or really care to. Once more wanted to kill Vince Russo.
ROH: not formally head booker?, was now out of touch of what the modern wrestling fan was looking for, wore out his welcome and clashed with Sinclair management and ragequit

Basically only Smokey Mountain didn't end with him mad at someone or vice versa and that was a wrong place/wrong time investment.

Don't forget that every company he raged out of had one low-level office employee who, despite being a complete idiot, managed to singlehandedly wreck all of Corny's brilliant plans for wherever he was.

With TNA he was given credit for agenting clever finishes and not anything negative and he thanked Dave Meltzer for doing that by viciously turning on him.

cornie tried to stop covering AEW because he was tired of talking about it t but the views plummeted so a concerned fan (which was obviously cornie pretending to be a concerned fan lol) wrote him a letter urging him to keep covering AEW because he was exposing them as hacks so he pledged to continue covering AEW

Alex jones WANTED to stop covering sandy hook but the victims deserved Alex getting to the truth and he was being badgered by supporters so he just had to keep talking about it

It certainly wasn’t due to any traffic spikes when he was covering sandy hook or anything

In all honesty it's deep wrestling/politics bubble brain and just a bit hosed up to compare the two. Especially when the original similarity is that they both have developed outrage audiences which is a thing that describes every major cable network, most YouTubers, and has been part of the media landscape since media.

He's the wrestling Rachel Maddow, Alex Jones, Angry Video Game Nerd, Rush Limbaugh, Salon, Jezebel, New York Post, and possibly even the William Randolph Hearst.

Finding your audience of psychos and feeding them what they want to hear is a huge portion of all media for all of time and there is some real air in-between Jim and harassing the families of dead children for money.
