Every now and then I remember Kenny Powers referring to the Crypt Keeper as "that smartass from Tales From the Crypt" and I smile.

The Cryptkeeper was a great promo and his appearance will lure Dickinson's former running buddy the Bone Collector Dominic Garini into a cunning trap.

Trying to find the post but on the F4W forum recently, Meltzer recently wrote that AEW's ticket sales are trending on par with Jim Cornette's beloved Jim Crockett Promotions.

Cornette has dug his hole. Along with that he has backed the wrong horse and can't admit it.

Plays the "edgy" atheist and left-winger. Yet denies facts and numbers when it comes to AEW.

The saddest thing about Cornette is that he doesn't actually give a poo poo about money or clicks and believes every word he says.

His "we have the only beef anybody believes" to the Young Bucks was a face-saving maneuver because unlike an Ed Ferrarra, he does respect them. And the Bucks "we'll never hire that shock jock carny or take him seriously" was just more than his ego could take.

Cornette appears to have shifted his argument to "all the money in the world doesn't excuse this travesty killing the integrity of the business" which is still dumb as all gently caress but I think that what what he meant, "you can show me the money they make but that doesn't change the fact that they suck" which is especially funny for an old school wrestling figure to pull.

But what numbers is he talking about then? To use the phrase "numbers" means you are talking about a quantifiable metric.

If he is talking about how over the company is, you cant provide exact numbers on overness. If he is talking about buzz, again no exact measurable way exists to describe buzz. Or even exposure, or market penetration or anything like that.

You can't put exact numbers on "this wrestling is different to wrestling from decades ago, so therefore I don't like it".

So numbers can only mean crowd sizes, ratings, or cash brought in, surely. Unless I am missing something.

This is the hilarious part, Cornette had made fun of some still from an AEW show and said it proved Tony Khan was getting bilked out of his money. Dave replied saying he'd just run the numbers in a recent Newsletter and it showed AEW was actually an incredibly good investment (the demographics/ratings it hits are tremendous value for the money put into the show) and Cornette responded with,"What numbers?" and then tried to insist he hadn't been talking about money when Dave gave out the numbers.

It really is. And Omega, too. I have Cornette's taste in wrestling logic being preserved, but last May he was just such a huge piece of poo poo about everything, including being lovely about trans and nonbinary people that I unsubscribed and I kinda' wish I didn't have to hear about him anymore.

I get where you're coming from, unless I've missed your sarcasm and actual point, but I was a big Cornette fan for a long time because I agreed with him about how wrestling should be, but eventually that bit me in the rear end because he doesn't understand what being trans is like and was really lovely about it and that TRIGGERS (omg those loving libs and their triggers who are offended by everything) PTSD stuff, where people who were your friends sell you out for being queer, and I'd just like to never have to hear what he thinks about anything anymore.

I'm not gonna' get that, but I just want him out of my life.
