"WHO HAS TEN MAN TAG MATCHES IN THE OPENING MATCH?" Gee, Jim. That's not much more than six man tags which a certain company had a championship belt for.

I feel like JR complained about New Japan doing the same thing back in the day and it was also dumb then.

What gets me, and it shouldn't because it's me talking about Jim Cornette in the Year of Our Lord 2021 and I know better, is complaining that the first match is now apparently when you should go get your soda and popcorn and not watching the match that sets the tone for the entire card. Pretty sure the Midnights were in more than their share of hot openers but I guess I should have gone to get my giant foam finger then instead of watching.

Wouldn't the fans knowing the first match is the time to get popcorn or whatever imply they're aware this poo poo is scripted and wouldn't get a surprise awesome match? But, Jim, I thought the fans in your day were marks that thought it was all real?

Someone posted a text summary of his actual All Out review. Some real dumb stuff in here:quote:First comment: We had to suffer through a lot but we got a lot at the end. I want to highlight this in particular because this may be the thing that made me roll my eyes the most. quote:Said Eddie Kingston vs Miro was not bad but it really hurt Jon Moxley vs Satoshi Kojima because they did all the same spots. What a loving idiot.

he hates rap, if anybody does a flip he fast forwards, hates matches with no rules, hates hardcore stuff, if there is more than one person moving at a time he doesn't know what's going on, is racist and the young bucks have insulted him to his face basically a perfect storm of a match to make cornette mad. the only way to get him to watch less of a match is if there's women wrestling.

Cole IS one of the boys, that was the entire point of how things were set up. And a manager in the ring being a DQ when they don't really do anything is stupid too. Christ, I remember managers jumping in, getting smacked and the match continuing happening in the 90's. Since Jim likes to talk about realism or whatever, wouldn't the rules being enforced that way just cause heels to have people interfere in front of the ref in every match to retain their titles?

Or have some stipulation where Kenny loses the title if any of the Elite interfere. Edit: As a reason for there being no interference, not as a way for the title to change hands.

There's like, one or two semi-reasonable points in among the reams of horseshit there. Like, arguably you could've spaced out the Mox and Miro matches because while they didn't repeat spots, they were both 'strong style' big meaty slap fests. His point about getting someone more relevant than Kojima isn't crazy but also is ignorant of the fact that clearly they were angling for Tanahashi until Covid hosed New Japan and they had to bring him home. And the crossbody off the cage with Penta popping up is kind of fair, but like, it was the finish, who the gently caress is bothered when it goes straight to the finish.

Penta popping up like that is my only criticism for that really fun match i think the spot is fine but maybe he should've staggered a bit after jumping up and then fall on one knee or something after the finisher is done? make it look like it took him his all to hold together for long enough to help Rey finish the fight with one last move i don't know a lot about wrestling so maybe this is actually a bad idea

No. It's because women can't wrestle, and are better as valets/managers. Clearly you are the sexist/racist/homophobe for thinking otherwise. (Add in some swearing and nonsense nicknames.)

I just want to shout out Corny talking about Davey Richards coming back, he put over how good Davey is and how good Richards/Black was... And then he says it was a "real match" "like a fight" "not just a bunch of spots" lmao that match owned my good dude but it was entirely tiny white dudes doing movez non stop, isn't the finish like Black hitting 40 buckle bombs on Davey.

If someone debuted Flair's walk out of the corner and face plant spot today the usual suspects would lose their poo poo about how it exposes the business or whatever.

midnight vs thrillseekers where jericho has the broken hand has the midnight doing the whole "lets bunch up and wait to catch guy whos doing a dive" i got legit flashbacks to watching the worst match on some 00s indy card. some of the selling the midnight do in the same match vs jericho with a broken hand is more over the top than hbk vs hogan.

I still can't get over the fact that Cornette was a major influence on Tony's view of the business and booking philosophy, yet is so obsessed with aesthetics and doing things "his way" that he's blinded himself to what he's always hoped for, a return of actual pro wrestling.

He just thinks they're better than all the nonsense WWE is doing right now. Brian Last is coming around though. If you listen to any Corncob clips (please don't, it's not worth it), you can tell he likes AEW and is trying not to praise it too much in front of Jim.

I haven't listened to any of their stuff in ages, but on the off chance Cornette would actually enjoy something Last would try to ruin it for him by pointing out parts that he would hate. Gotta keep the old man angry to get those clicks.

So whilst I can assume what Cornette thinks of Japanese and/or Mexican wrestling, (Boo! It's foreign, and there are too many flips.), does he have an opinion on the UK scene? Favourite/hated wrestlers? Memories/cool stories of when he used to go on foreign tours to there?
