Yeah. From Jericho's book they got a crude picture of the two of them in gold singles 'made of lamé or some similar material' and Jericho said "Yeah, it was going to be lamé " all right.

Went to watch the new reliving the war thing on YouTube and first thing I saw was an intro by this poo poo head. Sigh. Unsubscribed from wrestling bios. Why would anyone think having this rear end in a top hat on in 2021 is a good idea?

That really sucks, I had some of those videos on in the backround this week and I found it really informative. I dunno why someone would want to associate with Cornette at this point given how divisive (lovely) he is.

He's a psychotic note taker that literally has details like the gate numbers for every event he's ever been tangentially a part of. He might be the only person from that era that actually remembers what the hell happened.

tbh, I have only been getting into wrestling this year (mostly AEW, but I'm interested in the history of the craft) and even like a month in my main takeaway with Cornette was like "wow, this dude's a huge rear end wipe who seems mad at everything." Then he insulted Maki Itoh and became my enemy for life

what's up with his youtube thumbnails? I keep getting recommended his videos and even if I didn't know anything about him my impression would be that it's almost certainly dogshit

Touche. My favorite bit with him is when he recalls some minor slight that he perceived from Eric Bischoff and Bischoff going "what the gently caress" because apparently that's when Cornette decided to consider Bischoff a sworn enemy. Of course Bischoff couldn't really remember it at all. Cornette has incredible brain worms, where he can twist poo poo around in his brain, and is never able to forget it.

He’s not trying to say they’re draws though so MMA wouldn’t work for the point he’s making. (That doesn’t make it ok though, it’s still a lovely racist picture)

So Jim apparently reviewed the Asuka/Rhea match from Wrestlemania and it's brought out all of the lovely people. He assigned pretty much all of the blame onto Asuka (and basically claimed she is at fault for everything going wrong with Rhea), and gushed about Rhea and how perfect she is.

quote:

“Rhea Ripley is a movie star — Rhea Ripley is an action movie star. Rhea Ripley should be the top woman in the company and she should have other women fed to her to maintain an undefeated record while they make the most money out of her while they possibly can, which would be millions. They need to get her involved in some major motion pictures and sitcoms baby, ‘Cause she’s got the look.”

Is there a term to describe those who defend Cornette? Because I've seen people defend him by saying he's not racist at all. And when people bring up the NWA situation from a few years ago, "oh that's old can we move past that already!?" even though he never apologized for it and claimed it actually wasn't racist.

Doesn't Brian even get on him for the Asuka stuff because there's zero way to even TRY to fit her into his weird anti-Japanese women ranting? (That her entire run in WWE has been as a violent, believable, and physically strong rear end kicker, unlike Riho being too tiny and ineffectual or whatever.)

Pretty sure he tries to reign him in, but Jim just ignores him.

But yeah, Cornette poo poo all over Asuka and her character work in that Rhea/Asuka review video as well. Claiming that the screaming is awful, the goofy faces are the worst, the facepaint is awful, the "vito scotty loving gilligan's island japanese soldier impression", and her just screaming gibberish. He also implied in previous rants that all joshi wrestlers are like Asuka and ham up their Japanese behavior.

It would make sense that a huge piece of poo poo like Brian Last would try to argue a minor point like that as he ignores all the other stuff.

Bianca is taller and heavier than Rhea.

Unless Rhea has 3 inch lifts, Rhea is definitely taller. I can believe that Bianca is heavier because she's all muscle though.

Sorry yeah you're right but either way Bianca and small aren't really a thing also given how loving strong she is. Either way yeah he loves Rhea, hates Asuka, thinks Bianca is small, and who knows about Sasha. Hmmmmmm
