It's so sickening to hear Jim Cornette suck up to the WWE by claiming that Cena was a hard worker who was a dream to have.

Is there anything to indicate that he wasn't? I get the impression that Cena will do literally anything his bosses tell him to. Cornette only hates suck ups when they suck up to people who aren't him.

Jim "I've been fired from every job I've ever had in the wrestling business that wasn't a company I owned" Cornette, noted dishonest suck-up to the WWE

Didn't he say the same thing about Nick Dinsmore and then they made him Eugene?

Vagueness in regards to 'He' and 'Wasnt' Since He could refer to either Jim Cornette or John Cena, and 'Wasnt' could refer to Sucking up or being a hard worker.. The fact that he used 'Cornette only hates suck ups when they suck up to people who aren't him' I used lame internet humor to infer he meants the former for both, and asked for clarification.

Though here's him talking about Cena
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XerHosDzcw
That ones a simple one, he mentions training the OVW Trio and "Batista had the look. Cena had the look, the talent and the drive. Orton has the look and the talent but no drive."

And then there's this other one I can't find yet, where he basically just talks about having him in OVW, said Danny Davis trusted him with the keys to the ring truck, was always a hard worker, did what he was told, pointed out fans don't understand how much a booker loves a guy like Cena. Said he was entertaining and thought he could be the next Ric Flair if they let him play heel. Still looking for it

To be fair, even if he's acquitted, people are going to assume he did it anyway and his lawyer just got him off. So, yes, if he didn't do it, his life will be pretty hosed up. Now I'm not saying he didn't do it, I'm not saying he did it either. I'm just saying that the truth wont matter even if he gets off. Everyone already has made their judgement in their mind.

Yeah the thing with any manner of sex crime is that even if someone is unequivocally proven innocent, it really fucks their life up bad. Now, the number of false accusations is a fraction of a fraction of a percent (especially when you consider unreported cases), but it DOES happen. Hell, even in high profile cases it happens. Look up the NBA's Chris Andersen. That dude 100% didn't do anything wrong (he slept with a younger girl which is kinda creepy I guess but she was able to and did legally consent and then a bunch of hosed up poo poo with a third party happened) and by accounts of the article that was done about it, the false accusations basically made him a recluse.

That said I definitely lean towards "Heath did it and is a shithead, good on the lady for finally coming forward". But saying "his life is hosed even in the miniscule chance he's innocent and that kinda sucks too" is not that nuts of a statement IMO.

EDIT: I also acknowledge there are false acquittals, by the way.

To counter, her life is hosed regardless as well. If Heath is convicted, the fans who are unwilling to believe that a celebrity could ever commit a heinous crime will harass her relentlessly for taking away their precious wrestleman. If he walks, she will be branded as a gold digger who lied and tried to ruin a man's life for money.

Yup, sex crime ruins everyones lives, so the best answer is that no one should commit sex crimes... also other types of crime.

Agreed. It 100% sucks regardless. Shame to hear, and I hope she recovers alright.

I doubt THAT many people care about Slater though tbh. So at least there's that. :)
