The Hausu Usher posted:(right click - unmute) quote:and i saw a bunch of tweets when I got up this morning from people tagging the various Warner Brother TBS accounts and by the way we've mentioned on the experience i've had dozens and dozens of people tweet or email saying that's the no good son of a bitch and of course it's all different names but do you think they finally got tired of fielding all these angry tweets from wrestling fans and I assume emails

It's not the same thing as taking credit for the tribute, is it? Especially as he ends giving credit to "Tony or whoever". Anyway, great tribute last night. There were tears.

he told his listeners to find out who it was and then they started harassing random WBD employees and wink wink maybe that helped wink wink

In fairness, it is a fine line. Tagging the TBS Twitter account or the corporate WBD ones about the issue is a perfectly reasonable thing to suggest fans do. Asking them to harass a specific individual, especially without confirmation if it's even the right person, is not.

Cornette is a massive shithead and you're not going to well actually everyone here into loving him. Dude is seriously claiming his moron followers harassed Warner Bros into allowing Mark Briscoe on TV and adding in a "or maybe it was Tony or whoever" in some kind of mealy mouthed attempt at impartiality. Yeah love to turn a beloved wrestler's death into an opportunity to big myself up, what a loving ghoulish shithead. Shaman Tank Spec fucked around with this message at 19:58 on Jan 26, 2023 |

You're just getting angry over a perceived thing that he didn't say, it's all just confirmation bias. From saying he is taking credit for Mark's return to that he had Terry Funk break Taker's streak to Wrestlemania (disproved with a screenshot within about 3 posts) it's the same Arrested Development narrator voice thing again and again ITT. HE SAID THIS! "He, in fact, hadn't said this". If you hear him take credit for it (rather than talking about wrestling fans in general taking to Twitter) then feel free to clip and share. I think he cares a lot about the Briscoes and his podcasts sections on them have always been loving and respectful, as well as entertaining. Sorry you can't enjoy even just some fun Jay stories.

Uh, speak for yourself. I will now decide to overlook his rampant sexism, misogyny, racism and the fact that he's a weird sex creep, and declare my never-ending devotion to Cornette. All hail the Cornman, the Cult of Cornette is forever.

Kvlt! posted:did he ever have a kayfabe explanation for bringing a tennis racket (literally the stupidest weapon/prop of all time) to the ring To expand, Cornette's original gimmick was his mother was very wealthy and essentially bought him his career. The tennis racket was code for 'something rich people did' and also a handy foreign object. Cornette's mother did legit play a big role in his career as she used to drive him to events to where he'd be a photographer and whatever else they needed in the Tennessee territory.

Kvlt! posted:did he ever have a kayfabe explanation for bringing a tennis racket (literally the stupidest weapon/prop of all time) to the ring tennis racket is less stupid than a sword or a large hammer you cant use like a normal person without killing your opponent so you have to do some extrordinarily weird hit that makes no sense. I dont even remember ever seeing him smash the racket over someones head leaving it around their neck. You can also go racket akimbo and really lay into someone. it can even be an electric racket or barbwire. The more i type the more i think the tennis racket was wasted by old JC. Someone needs to reclaim that from him.

Alaois posted:i thought he would literally just carry around an empty tennis racket bag and hit people with that Nah, it was an actual tennis racket. He used to bend the handle giving wrestlers like Animal and Hawk shots with them because they were so solid.

# ? Jan 27, 2023 05:23 |

well it was always sold as a loaded racket. there was a racket in that racket cover, and you could tell since the handle sticks out and they're very uniquely shaped handles, but also something else. fully loaded. probably some big guns and bullets

Isnt cornette famously one of those dingleberries who purposely did not get trained so he wouldnt be asked to take bumps And then he let himself get bullied into taking bumps and just took them wrong and got hurt nearly every time I have faint memory of cornette saying so on a youshoot or something

When Cornette used to tell it he made it seem like Traylor just missed him but when you watch it Cornette is swinging back and forth and loving falls away from him.

Cornette said he would actually put a horseshoe in there if he thought the crowd was going to be very riled so he could have something of substance to swat at them.

Yeah he claimed it contained a horseshoe, a chain around the outside, and a cut out metal pan. But he also claims fans in the 70s believed wrestling was real, so who knows.
