So did Jimbo name a source or provide any bonafides about the supposed legal/wrassler torrid love affair? This, uh, seems like the kind of thing you’d want receipts for before saying it.

To play devils advocate, he is getting up there in age and probably just got confused for a moment, mistaking AEW for the other billionaire’s promotion where people in the legal department end up in scandals.

According to his cult, Jim 'has inside sources that tell him things the rest of us don't get to know'.

I think you will find that the Soft Boys released the psychedelic post-punk classic Underwater Moonlight in 1980 and had very little to do with wrestling. They were fronted by Robyn Hitchcock, who talks a lot during concerts but not on podcasts, and the lead guitarist was Kimberly Rew, who, unlike Jim Cornette, actually won a Eurovision contest with his song "Walking on Sunshine". Jim Cornette wrestled a Ninja Turtle or something.

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

Going a ways back, wasn't Jim Cornette legitimately mad and offended at Southpaw Wrestling when they made fun of his "summoning a creature from the ocean to wrestle" gimmick?

As in it went beyond his usual "all wrestling that isnt 70s Smoky Mountain wrestling is awful" schtick. He was actually angry that some wrestlers were poking fun at poo poo he himself did.

I am still truly sad we never got to see the series 3 of Southpaw that we were promised.

Yeah, but those wrestlers were all midcarders at best who have never done anything in wrestling like John Cena, Chris Jericho, Bryan Danielson, AJ Styles, etc.

so, I'm morbidly curious. If AEW has actually set a remotely reliable new record for VOLUNTARY attendance with their Wembley show, how is Corny responding? Has he decided to start allying himself with the DPRK to discredit AEW? Or is he just busy trying to start a feud he can't possibly win with a billionaire's lawyer to draw attention away from his doomsaying?

I mean he does seem to believe that if he somehow successfully goads AEW into suing him it'll mean they have to hand him all their financial records which will definitively prove that AEW is all some sort of scam shell company or whatever the conspiracy is this month.

Or I guess at the very least he's convinced his fans that's definitely going to happen.

It's part of the grift. If they don't sue, it's because they're afraid of what he'd find or because his misogyny is correct and they'd lose. Instead of because he's irrelevant and not worth the effort

It's still kind of amazing how far Jim has fallen and how his kayfabe lifetime rival Ricky Morton has embraced new wrestling trends and not seemingly only because it gets him work. Like Ricky seems to really enjoy what people are doing now.

In the 80s Ricky was exactly the kind of wrestler that Cornette and his ilk complain about now. I grew up then, and is was always "They don't do real wrestling. They're not tough guys. They'd get their asses kicked by REAL wrestlers."

Karl Gotch used to complain about one of the guys who became champion after him, who used to dive off the top rope in a way that wasn't believable and made the whole business look ridiculous, just taking these ridiculous bumps that meant nothing.

Yep, he had no time at all for Harley Race.

You can pretty much only change the instances of "Harley Race", "dive", and "head-butt" to whatever wrestler performing whatever move.

True. I was very young watching the Rock 'N Rolls and looking back now, sure, for example I can see their double dropkick finisher barely connected a lot of the times but I certainly didn't care at the time and the crowds sure didn't either.
