TheKingslayer posted:Jim Cornette is a piece of poo poo bitch baby moron for many reasons. But maybe the most disgraceful thing about him is thinking the Bashams were money. It's really funny that Cornette has been able to get away with positioning himself as someone who really understands wrestling considering his career as a booker is basically a laundry list of dogshit ideas that didn't work

He lost every bit of credibility he could have had from me when he tried to backpedal on how hard he tried to kneecap Kevin Steen during his hottest era and pretend he didn't nearly gently caress ROH up. He's so bad

If I had TK money I'd have lawyers get a contract that has him suggest stuff, under extreme secrecy, and then make sure to not do that stuff. "Alright, time to see about the women's division for the pape. Jim suggested Willow refuse Nyla's challenge because if she wins she might have to defend in Oklahoma... I think we have a title match ready!" VV I wasn't watching at that time but I've read about that godawful suggestion, I didn't want to just repeat that, so I adjusted a little.

When AEW started that jackass suggested AEW should do a storyline where Nyla was "illegally" competing in the Women's Division. Because he's a transphobic piece of poo poo.

Has Corny actually run a successful company? Hasn't he just been a manager and on booking committees during cold parts of business?

Majinfoose posted:Has Corny actually run a successful company? Hasn't he just been a manager and on booking committees during cold parts of business? Going off memory: WCW - booking committee, wasn't the head decision maker, until he got mad and walked out. Smokey Mountain: propped up by Rick Rubin money, tried the territory format after the territories were all but dead, went under once Rubin pulled his funding. WWF: booking committee, pissed everyone off/didn't like the northeast (can't blame him on not liking Connecticut), went back to Louisville, wanted to kill Vince Russo OVW: part owner, took WWF money in exchange for training their talent, did produce a golden generation (Cena/Brock/Orton/Batista), got mad over the idea that WWF would have a say in the talent they were paying him to develop, slapped Santino and solid his part TNA: got worked by Jeff Jarrett into working again with Vince Russo, unsure of how much power he actually had but TNA was a shitshow that no one had a prayer of making halfway decent, from his telling got out-politic'd by Russo once more and was fired or quit I don't remember or really care to. Once more wanted to kill Vince Russo. ROH: not formally head booker?, was now out of touch of what the modern wrestling fan was looking for, wore out his welcome and clashed with Sinclair management and ragequit Basically only Smokey Mountain didn't end with him mad at someone or vice versa and that was a wrong place/wrong time investment.

One of the downfalls of Smoky Mountain was expanding their TV too much without being able to increase their live gates. They were paying for TV and not making money back on it.

My favorite Cornettism from his time as head of ROH was constantly saying Delirious was the booker and not him, yet while Cornette was there it was loaded with dated territory angles that conveniently stopped when Cornette left even though Delirious was still booking.

the entire one sided feud he has with kenny is because kenny went above his head and cleared his trip to japan with management and when cornie texted him demanding why he wasnt at the RoH show Kenny texted him a picture of a gangrenous ankle as a joke which cornie didnt get and now he thinks kenny lied to him so he could bail on a show to go to japan to accept an award
