That whole thread is full of 'ah well never the less.." where the guy keeps admitting everything he said is factually wrong, but still TK is basically wrestlehitler and actively destroying the industry.

Like this is the closest bit of truth he has, yes Tony wouldn't do Forbidden Door 2 in Japan, but his talent has been freely going and appearing in NJPW stuff since then

His logic: Sure it's a matter of fact that impact got way more viewers during Kenny's reign, and AEW cross polinated interest in Impact, but because Impact talent were losing to Kenny it means the entire show was diminished.

This randomly made me think of something a friend of mine likes to do.

She's originally from Latvia and since it's a country that a lot of people don't know anything about she'll say random things are banned there but refuse to elaborate on why other than saying "oh, it's too horrible" or something similar.

And I think my head is burning,

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

*Jim Cornette-ishly* but my regional show was cheap bullshit and modern wrestling promos with big money shouldn't be like that! Anyway here's an hour long rant about why wrestling needs to be exactly how it was when I ran a cheap regional show out of high school gyms...

It should be trivial to find examples of WWE and WCW stars doing commercials for lovely local businesses. There are tons of them out there. I recall Jesse Ventura doing an ad for a mom and pop liquor store somewhere in Minnesota and Dusty Rhodes doing a commercial for some local used car dealer somewhere

Cornette himself has probably turned tag notifications off after thousands of "I saw Chuck Taylor eating a cookie at an airport, is that anything?" tweets.

This isn’t the stupid tweet: but the safety nerds were out for a 37 year old match where someone who is still wrestling took a sick looking piledriver. Example:

I mean, just because something is old and happened to have turned out ok surely doesn’t mean it can’t be criticised?

Like Matt Hardy’s dumbass bump off the scissor lift didn’t kill him but that doesn’t magically make it a good idea which shouldn’t be derided by anyone who may watch it in the future.

That piledriver indeed looks rough as gently caress and it seems more like luck than judgment that the woman taking it didn’t get paralysed, but maybe a view that wasn’t zoomed right in on her head would show that it’s a little safer than it seems :shrug:
