I've been listening to cornette because apparently i have an endless appetite for stupid youtube poo poo


I get that the bucks and omega hatred is kind of a work, but it's so weird to me the way cornette acts like they invented making a joke out of pro wrestling. Pro wrestling has been a joke for like 40 years at this point.

I guess like a garbageman that wrestles isn't exposing the business as long as the garbageman is roided out of his mind

It's, as Brian Zane pointed out, is mentioned, part of a cacophony of angry white men on the internet, going into a collective hysterical screaming fit and conniptions over poo poo, no matter how hypocritical or idiotic it makes them appear, which is then mindlessly regurgitated by a troop of Notice Me Senpai wannabes like that Girl on Cinema pillock, you know, the losers who make "popular thing" not appealing to them the entirety of their personality.

Like, let people enjoy poo poo, you fossilised plum.

I only listen to his SMW and Mid South deep dives at this point. The SMW deep dives are fascinating where he talks about booking mistakes and how they weren't drawing outside of the big shows and couldn't afford TV to get more markets.

its much more absurd than him wrestling somebody in a ninja turtle costume if you want to bring up things he's done that run counter to his stated beliefs about pro wrestling and it's something he was solely responsible for

Last gets the podcast metrics so he's probably seeing the old man yells at clouds stuff is taking their engagement numbers.

why would it tank engagement numbers

yelling at clouds and hating everything new is a lucrative industry

if anything, if numbers were going down the solution would be to attack AEW harder and go soft on WWE to attract the #standupforwwe crowd that hates AEW but can't handle cornette being mean to WWE too

If I had to guess I'd say in cornette's mind even if these guys were playing a tax man or a swamp monster they were still a BAD rear end DUDE becaue they had all these arcane behind the scenes secret rituals to prove that they were still actually tough guys to be feared.

Thing is the general population didn't know about any of that poo poo and just saw the incredibly stupid TV product with nonsensical joke characters. So i think he hates the bucks and kenny because they did away with all that bullshit and acknowledged openly that a wrestling match is a performance

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

The idea of "exposing" the business always seemed absurd to me.

Because when I learned that wrestling was 'fake' as a little kid, I was even more in awe of the big muscly athletes. Because it was cool that they could do stuff that looked so violent, yet not hurt each other.

Also little softy me liked the idea that they were actually friends, (and again the fact that friends were doing these moves to each other made the whole thing cooler.)

People remember it extremely fondly, because it's just a good, fun, action movie, with possibly the most attractive main cast ever assembled. The second one is almost as good.

the most important thing there is to know about Cornette is that when Brian the dog died on Family Guy corny got mega upset and like wrote long screeds about how horrible it was, then when Family Guy brought Brian back corny smugly proclaimed that it was because he got mad on the internet. this story tells anyone everything they need to know about Jim Cornette in a single paragraph

I remember Cornette talking about Bedlam on his podcast back when I still listened and he was like "the dude was nice to me so there wasn't a problem" and that's about all you need to know about Cornette's bullshit.
