I'm don't understand why it has to be a starvation or racist comment. Why can't it be both?

PaybackJack posted:My first thought was the starvation aspect and not the racial one. I can see how people who didn't grow up during the period when Ethopian starvation was the pop world issue of the day wouldn't know that though, so calling it a racist remark is fair game. Fuckin' hell. Why does Jim Cornette get the benefit of the doubt about this? Well, the same reason ACH didn't. White supremacy is so deeply embedded in our culture that we'll excuse clear loving racism and won't believe a black man and all this is done under the guise of "playing devil's advocate." The devil doesn't need advocates.

Jim Valley wondering if he was getting old and turning on a lamp with the clapper on Saturday WOL was great.

Yeah, like... even if you give Cornette every benefit of the doubt he and his defenders want you to he's STILL just an rear end in a top hat making fun of starving children because they're foreign enough to him that he can disconnect any human empathy. I thought his co-host's take was interesting (if cowardly) because he very clearly thought the joke was lovely and "offensive" and punching down but he also just walked on eggshells because he didn't want to imply Cornette might have been racist on any level or that anyone has a right to say he is.

I just saw a video of Jim dropping the n bomb like a dozen times so I'll just go out on a limb and say the mother fucker is definitely racist.

his defense of that is "i was taught the way to win an argument is to piss the other guy off first so i think of the most offensive things i can call him" which says a lot that his first instinct when arguing with people of color is to fire off racial slurs. ol' lovely racist boomer

He wasn't being racist when he called that black guy the n-word. He just wanted to win the argument. I'm talking, of course, about Michael Richards.

The only Jim we should respect is Jim Valley. That interview with Kenny was amazing, and then when Dave jumped in, he went all "I remember the Palace" and trying to explain the deathmatch and was awkward. At least Valley knows the hard hitting questions such as - update on AEW video game, trying to get Joshi wrestling over in the U.S. and the pressure he puts himself both on and off the ring. I think, much like Cornette, Dave is good when it comes to history and unlike Cornette, is able to explain different styles and be essentially the Blockbuster Video recommends guy, for wrestling. IF YOU LIKE ECW DECEMBER TO DISMEMBER, TRY ALL JAPAN... Also, you could probably come up with a better craptacular "starvation joke" - such as "he is so hungry to win, he is picturing his opponent as a GIANT turkey leg" But alas - at least tonight is a Granny episode of B&V

I never listened to WOL because of the lovely callers, but I've started listening to the Saturday shows because Jim owns. Him being much more in tune with the world outside of wrestling than Dave or Bryan is also a very welcome point of view.

That guy from Cauliflower Alley they interviewed recently had a really good take on Cornette when they asked him about it I thought, where he basically said (this is paraphrased): "I really like Jim, I've always gotten on with him, but some things you say are simply unforgivable and if you can't change with the times then get out of the business." No excuses, no qualifiers, just "It's unforgivable" and telling him to get out if he's going to keep on with this bullshit.

Ricky Starks said pretty much the same thing. People are closing ranks and this is as much as you’re gonna get. I doubt Cornette will get a hero’s welcome next CAC.

People are sleeping on Jim Valley because they are so used to Dave Meltzer tangents and Bryan "Minus Five Stars" Alvarez talking about bad wrestling. But Jim has the viewpoint of wrestling that matches that of so many wrestling audiences, he can effectively explain *WHY* Cody Rhodes is the best wrestler in the world and even record a wrestling segment while inside Six Flags Magic Mountain. A master of many trades, and one that also is trying his best to promote Cauliflower Alley whenever possible to help those in need.

Cause it sounds like one of them was a stream on DAZN and DAZN never actually made a copyright claim.
