Why does Nyla Rose, the largest woman, not simply eat the other wrestler?

Jim Cornette is a racist, sexist old man who rants about size yet pushed 5'9" Dirty White Boy/TL Hopper as a main eventer in his lovely regional promotion that also leaned on racial prejudice angles. He sucks through and through.

MJeff posted:Jim's also started calling Kenny "Kenny Olivier" or something. I have no idea what the context of this is but given none I can only assume it's "ha ha girl's name" which....gently caress you, Jim! He’s calling him that because of Laurence Olivier, because he thinks Omega is a prentious stage actor instead of a wrestler

Deciding to burn somebody by calling him by the name of a guy who has a loving statue in front of The National Theatre and is one of the most well-regarded and appreciated actors of all time is exactly the sort of dumb burn you’d expect from someone constantly photographed wearing Family Guy tee shirts

Or you could just watch any of his Shakespeare productions, they’re all incredible and you can also marvel at the fact that the dude had basically all of the plays he made into movies memorized front to back and he could switch from performing one character in, say, Hamlet to a completely different character in Henry V at the snap of a finger as you go through them. Or the movies he made with Otto Preminger. Or his role in Spartacus. Or Wuthering Heights if you want capital-S Sexy Olivier. What Buddy Murphy is to Kenny Omega is what Kenneth Branagh is to Laurence Olivier.

Jim Cornette gave us performance data on what happens when you push a fat gently caress off a scaffold so there’s that. I mean the dude thinks inciting a crowd to riot is good booking. I’ve been in riots. They suck. Jim Cornette is a dumbass. Still chuckle at the time the progressive dweebs on Citizen Radio had Cornette on and less than a month later he goes on an anti-muslim rant.

Low Desert Punk posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2m24JlJOW4 Cornette is an old school trained professional, he knows to always take a high spot bump directly on your tailbone and make sure to compress your spine vertically to absorb the shock. Also keep your head tilted back when you land to really whip your dumb melon head around.

Cornette hates any wrestling that isn't exactly like the stuff that made him money in the past or is currently making him money. He will happily drop all of his convictions of what good wrestling is if you hand him a stack of cash.

Gaz-L posted:I think he's basically combining his idea of Omega and co 'pretending' to be wrestlers with the (to be fair, arguably accurate) idea of Kenny as a tryhard, therefore he's the self-proclaimed Laurence Olivier of 'play-wrestlers'. quote:And, honestly, Bix, I think the NXT week one review should've made it clear before now. His argument was 'these are 4 girls I don't know in a match I don't care about' which is... the point is supposedly to introduce the talent to the audience and somehow having a match is bad for this? quote:I mean, can someone look up the first episode of SMW and tell us how the 'master' introduced his talent to an audience?

quote:So RAW gets a new GM who basically looks like Stalin or Guevara or so and as a social experiment he makes RAW the communist center of WWE while SmackDown focuses on pure capitalism. Every sports entertainer gets paid the same and there's no buffet backstage; everyone gets a lunch box for the day. Most of the main event players are not cool with that so they look to get drafted to SmackDown but the RAW GM closes the borders, so to speak, and refuses to make deals with the SD GM unless it's about sending SD superstars to RAW, of course. There could be a few outliers though for the surprise effect (people's contracts running out and getting hired by SD).

Yeah, Sleuth is a two-man play that was adapted into film in 1972, it's one of my favorites because you can tell that neither man was going to be outshone by the other. There's a couple of great stories behind the making of it, too (and apologies for continuing a bit of a cinematic derail): 1. Caine was (understandably) nervous about working with Olivier, who had been made a Life Peer for his services to the arts. Finally he asked Olivier how he should address him. "I am the Lord Olivier and you are Mr. Michael Caine," said Olivier, then added "Of course, that's just for the first time we meet. Afterwards, I am Larry and you are Mike." 2. Partway through the film, Olivier told Caine words to the effect of "Before, I thought I would have an apprentice on this film. Now I see I have a partner."

Goddamn Olivier was so loving cool. He's also the guy who did Marathon Man with Dustin Hoffman, saw him running around doing jumping jacks and asked why, and when Hoffman explained he needed to be sweaty and exhausted for the scene Olivier replied,"My dear boy, have you ever considered acting?"

"Hahaha stupid upstart Kenny OLIVIER is much like his namesake a nearly peerless master of his craft beloved by millions across the world for his stunning performances. His legacy shall surely be memorialized for decades to come hahaha. If he was smart he'd be remembered for using hate speech while getting stuck in a Wendy's drive through window, what a maroon!!" - Extremely Relevant Guy James Cornette
