She was big for ratings and even a PPV buyrate. The Playboy issue was huge too. WWE trying to recapture the Sable formula for 15 years was terrible for women in the company but for a time Sable was a very big star. There have been a lot of men with no talent for wrestling who had a short period of sustained success but Jim really, really hates Sable for obvious reasons.

In what is a sympathetic moment with Corny before we stopped having those, I believe Sable is the one he had to listen to Vince and Kevin Dunn shriek about 'white cotton panties!' when he was on the booking committee.

Cornette's interpretation of Sable was she was absolutely money driven and didn't give a single poo poo about being in WWE. AKA the model WWE employee.

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

Whilst we know what Jim Cornette thinks about the in-ring and on TV stuff, (too many asians, not enough like it was in the 80s in half empty bingo halls), what are his thoughts on the recent wave of WWE sackings?

Does Corny actually comment on the WWE at all?

I could never bring myself to listen to him, but I only ever see his AEW comments brought up. I could see bashing the WWE as low hanging fruit, I guess.

Iooking at his youtube numbers he might actually becoming gold boated, his best rating stuff lately is the history, wwe stuff and the times he's positive about things in AEW.

He loves Eddie Kingston and people love hearing him talk about Eddie Kingston.

The latest lovely take from Jim is that hospitals should refuse to treat deathmatch wrestlers who get injured as a result of doing deathmatches.

Changing my opinion from "I love Danhausen because goons whine about mEmE wReStlErS" to "I hate Danhausen because Cornette likes him"

I continue to have no informed stance on Danhausen I'm basing my opinion on spite alone.

Yeah I have an uncle who's an ER surgeon and by his accounts as long as your calm, not extremely on drugs/mentally ill then you're the best person he'll treat all day regardless of what's wrong with you.

This is a stretch. They think he talks funny and Cornette refuses to watch a match cause he knows he’ll hate him if he did.

And they appreciate that the gimmick is self-aware in that the switch to being a meme wrestler was about Danhausen's yearning for bags of human money.

They spent a decent amount of time talking about how smart his teeth gimmick is as well.

It flies in the face of their belief funny doesn't draw money.

the first 45 seconds of this clip feel like an evil shadow realm cumtown riff

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yats_GKbeQU

Also, Cornette defends AEW referencing WWE throughout the MJF/Punk promo because 1) it made the back-and-forth feel more real/personal and 2) the crowd is aware of all of the things being referenced and it's silly to pretend they aren't. He also notes that you'd never see anything that "real" or "legitimate" in WWE because of the ridiculous way they write and present promos. I imagine a lot of Cornette's true believers feel conflicted at this point lol

He thinks Eddie's character justifies his appearance, and the only reason he ragged on Steen for that is because Steen talked back to him in ROH.

Don't gotta hand it to Boko Haram and all, but it's funny how if Cornette is able to get over himself and give his shouty ranty stick in the mud gimmick a rest for 5 minutes, he can make valid and insightful points.

And I'm not afraid to die.

AEW draws more than Cornette's booking stints in NWA*, RoH, OVW or SMW in his entire runs

*did he have the book in the 80s in Jim Crockett before the downswing? Maybe the one exception.

Nope. He never had it. Was on a committee during the downswing iirc.

It's also part of a bigger thing where bigots diminish Transphobia/Racism/Sexism/Homophobia et al as "hurting someones feelings."

A way of blaming the victim for getting upset, and being able to say "what I did wasn't that bad."
