He also quit instead of apologizing for it when the NWA suspended him or whatever. And the NWA did not want to let him go.

LOL I did not know this part.

Yeah forget him, I don't think he brings anything to the table anymore besides nostalgia; I dont even trust his booking after his plans for Nyla and "funny doesn't make money".

Jim Cornette has been bad dead weight for at least a decade and you can continue back his dead weight status as far as you want.

If Cornette made a genuine, heart felt apology, especially to Omega and the Young Bucks, and backed up that apology with good behavior unlike say a Hogan or other figure, I'd be happy to see him on AEW if he wasn't a booker or doing backstage thing and a heel manager to FTR or Danielson or doing Dark or Rampage commentary.

I just don't think he would ever do so,

The Bucks aren't even in the top 5 of AEW roster members he's said hateful things about. He should never be near the company after what he's said about the women's roster especially the Japanese women. And that's not counting his general bigotry.

We should all feel lucky that Cornette hates the Bucks because if he didn't he might be in the Tony Schiavone spot.

It still makes me shake my head when I remember that he had his dream job in the NWA and he just couldn't stop being a Corncob long enough to apologize and keep it.

Him using the same lines he was using thirty-five years. Even if you put aside the racism (WHICH YOU ABSOLUTELY SHOULDN'T), it's like, get some new material grandpa. Paul Heyman ain't doing the same poo poo he did in the AWA in '87.


Reminds of a story the The Sklar Brothers told about working a comedy show that had Andrew Dice Clay on it. Clay said something to the effect "If I had done any of my old material, these guys wouldn't have been able to follow me," and the Sklars pointed that in his set he literally did a bit about hating call waiting.

(warning, lots of uses of that word that starts with the letter "n")

All of his comments about this incident that I've come across is about him justifying his use of that word, directly at a black man.

There is absolutely no money in bringing in Cornette in any capacity esp when there’s any number of heel managers doing the indies that would fit the onstage role. Backstage they’ve already got people who put together more money than Cornette’s ever done.

Hell even Sami Callihan’s Jim Cornette gimmick he did for the one off territory Impact show was better than anything Cornette’s done in the last 30 years.

Oh I’m all for Scott Steiner doing anything that involves him on my TV with a live mic. AEW, football commentator, a run for President, a prime time spot on cable news, whatever it takes.

It’s a bit of an odd compliment, but it’s kinda cool AEW is so successful that Cornette following the money means he has to turn a bit on AEW.

"If I lose I will set myself on fire."
Scott Steiner in AEW should be just him never being explicitly booked but just showing up demanding mic time and sometimes beating someone up. There shouldn't be any rhyme or reason. Like before a show just roll dice to see if Scott Steiner should show up or not and if the result is yes just give him a slot to crash the show. Let him do whatever he wants.

Trust me I know what I'm doing.


But yeah, Corny needs to clean up more than his hatred of the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega.

Not sure if true, maybe someone who actually listens to the show can confirm, but someone in a Discord Server I'm in said that Cornette's Co-host (assume it was Brian Last) called Cornette out on giving all the credit to Kenny Omega's opponents finally after Omega vs. Danielson by saying "Omega could cure cancer and you'd try to give credit to the patient"

On the anniversary of 9/11 somebody dug up the speech Cornette gave in OVW surrounded by the wrestlers that was the typical 'bomb us we'll BOMB YOU HARDER' type thing that was going around but Jim's was a bit next level. The only one who had the decency to look embarrassed was a young Prototype John Cena.

Lmao he framed the fuckin certificate like it was a PhD.

Cornette is basically a legendary manager and had a great mind for the business 30 years ago. He now is a racist shock jock who yells at clouds to the delight of toxic rear end motherfuckers who wish wrestlers gave each other concussions on a weekly basis.

and yes he is transphobic as well as loving to casually accuse people of being pedophiles and/or grooming with no evidence or basis in reality

Basically sorry your roomie is an awful pile of poo poo
