After Cornette’s latest tweet i’m not sure having even a quarantine thread for him is warranted. This will be my last post mentioning him at least. I slightly feel sorry for what a sad and pathetic man he is but for the most part he has gone beyond the pale in regards to Penelope and I think he deserves to be completely made to be unmentioned. I mean if Rovert talk can be completely eradicated from the board I think Cornette deserves the same fate.

The problem is that, unlike Rovert, Cornette is a somewhat important figure and the things he says, and the reactions to them, can still become news. With a "no Cornette talk" rule and no quarantine thread, Miro's and Penelope's tweets either would have ended up in the social media thread and triggered a digression about whether or not they were allowed, or would have been mentioned by someone saying "hey, it's against the rules to post them, but go check out Miro and Penelope's latest tweets" and led to the same kind of discussion anyway.

He's a garbage piece of poo poo who doesn't deserve continued relevance, but while he has that relevance, it's hard to enforce a blanket ban. I think the quarantine thread is still the best middle ground.

You’re probably right. I guess i’ll hope for a world where he becomes deeply irrelevant

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
not going to post but the dumb gently caress is awake and on a direct car crash to getting kicked off twitter, but he is not mad at all we swear

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


The sad thing is he's not anything like as influential as Limbaugh. He's increasingly deranged and powerless and the more that intensifies the less he can cope with it, to the point where sooner or later he's going to say something so vile he gets kicked offline.

He's professional wrestling's Graham Linehan.

For the sake of full transparency regarding mistakes made, I have to cop to the fact that I have listened to him in the past.

I never had any interest in anything that he had to say about anything in wrestling past the 90's, but like a broken clock, he actually tended to be right about domestic political issues more often than not years ago, and I sometimes enjoyed it when he verbally trashed notable republicans in the past. I was never an all the time listener, but I used to enjoy it when friends would send me his better stories about the past and those rants about politics. A combination of realizing that his political thing was a schtick when he compared people who like comedy wrestling to people who voted for the 45th President and what I later found out that he said about Muslims caused me to nope the gently caress out. The last time someone suggested something of his and I made the mistake of listening for a few minutes, it was apparent that he had stepped up his casual homophobia from occasional to frequent, and it just seemed like sad vitriol for clicks.

Maybe what he does now pays more. I don't know. However, he would probably have a job within the industry if he could shut the gently caress up, stop posting, and act like a normal human being. Whether it would pay less or not, it would be far more respectable to do something that wasn't tainted with negativity and bigotry.

As of late, I have sometimes posted about him to use him as an example of what is wrong in the industry and to poo poo on him and his "cult". I think that I am going to stop that and I don't think that I'm going to talk about anything that he does in the future. He doesn't deserve to be amplified, and other than "gently caress that guy", I don't think there is going to be much worth saying about him going forward.

gently caress that guy.

funny how you can get banned for calling a politician a lying piece of poo poo but this fucker gets to double down with no consequences

Is Cornette really like touting his chances in a physical altercation with a 300 pound trained wrestler when Cornette is a 60 year old man and looks increasingly like a statue sculpted of warm butter?

Yeah, Cornette's pretending like he's worked out a muscle besides the ones in his jaw. It never ends up well for those dudes once someone offers more than exchanging words.

To be unreasonably fair on him, my read on it is that Cornette is offering a war of words (which is why he references Miro learning English), not a fight.

Thing about guys like Cornette is that they know there'll never actually be physical repercussions for their poo poo, because most people don't want to go to jail or get railed in a civil suit. And he can't be deplatformed because his platform is composed of people who are getting exactly what they want. He can never be shamed into acting right. He'll never sell for anything, he'll never apologize and if you look at where he was just three years ago compared to now, then apparently he's only going to get worse.

But on the bright side,

Also, just cause I see a couple posts to this effect on this page, don't beat yourself up too much if you used to listen to him and enjoy what he said. Like Bix said here,

davidbix posted:

This is probably a good time to reiterate something I mention from time to time, especially with a new thread:

When Brian became Jim's new cohost, the entire idea behind it was that after Jim went on 6:05 with Brian and myself, he got a ton of "you actually sounded like you were having fun!" feedback. So Brian, who had a good working knowledge of what Jim has and hasn't said in shoot interview DVDs or podcasts before, would be able to steer the show into discussing cool old-school stuff that Jim hadn't discussed publicly before. As a result, everyone wins, with cool new content and a happy, engaged Jim. And none of this is a secret that I'm specifically privy to, either. The substance of it was discussed on the air.

Then AEW launched, Jim's Double or Nothing review blew up, and he went further on the shock jock shtick than ever before, and it carried the podcasts to new heights, even resulting in the Drive Thru (which had, for at least a little while, been insulated from Jim's takes on anything current) losing much of the appeal that differentiated it from the main show. To anyone who's paid attention to Jim long-term and has half a brain, it's a cash grab, which probably makes it even worse.

His content actually used to be worth listening to, and then he decided to become a horrible fun house mirror version of himself for money. Was he probably always that bad of a person underneath? Yeah. But how could we have been expected to know that from listening to fun stories of him burying Bill Watts?
