Kevin Kelly liked this tweet, definitely a smart move when you've already been demoted and quit your plan B.

What I like about Cornette’s tweet is the idea that wrestlers have never had lumps or bruises or cuts before but also they were the most badass tough guys you ever saw.

They should just fire Kevin Kelly and add whatever they were paying him to Schiavone's salary. The guy works basically every show in multiple roles, and managed to right the ship on Collision's commentary desk.

Hmm, I wonder if there was anything back then where a promoter actually DID treat his employees like video game characters, and got them intentionally hurt, which they have decided not to do nowadays, which would show cornette to just be full of poo poo and wearing rose colored glasses for his youth

It wasn’t too violent. It was gross and brutal and in bad taste but also fake and stupid. Also FTR should be mad they have some cuts from their match because a real booker would make sure things were safe and fake

And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.

I completely fail to understand the positive reactions to this. Even ignoring the stupidity of drinking blood in what's supposed to be a major promotion, it looked fake, lacked rhythm and meant nothing. Why does stapling the guy matter if minutes later the guy staples himself for shits and giggles.

The praise the match is getting along with the fact that Jim and Brian took 15 minutes to realize that the PWI Award nominees list they had wasn't real tells us a lot about what a certain contingent of the wrestling audience has become. A lot of people are putting up with absolute garbage - in fact they are craving it - and I am so drat sick of being seen as an rear end in a top hat for expecting better from professionals. They can't work, they just string stupid spots together and think they are cool. I have been in e-feds more grounded and competent than AEW.

It grinds my gears because they are so drat selfish they want the entire industry to burn itself down for their dopamine rush. When it is all gone we'll only have some old DVDs and they'll be off to gently caress up somebody else's passion.

I wish I was so secure in my worldview I could believe that AEW is an apocalyptic wrestling federation dedicated to killing wrestling and then publish it confidently because it's true. AEW is a death cult!

"A few years ago, I recall the WWE decided they were going to "retrain" anyone who spent time in the indies, because they were "learning the wrong way to work."

I didn't think that was a fair thing to say back then. I didn't understand where they were coming from.

I sure as gently caress do after three years of watching AEW."

I love the looked fake criticism because they’re the same people that if dudes started really walloping each other with weapons they’d be talking about how this is a bullshit mud promotion. There’s truly no winning.

Stephen P. New advertises on the Jim Cornette podcast, has filed trademarks on behalf of Jim Cornette, Adam Pearce, All Star Wrestling, Girl on Cinema, Kassey Scott Huffman, Kerry Morton, the Midnight Express, and the Wrestling Revue. He also has done unspecified work for "indie wrestlers" and helped Cornette sue G-Raver.

He may have advertised on some other podcasts, but I only am aware of him for his association with Cornette. I haven't listened to a Corny podcast in ages, and am not sure what other shows he might have advertised on.

Meanwhile, "the Gimmick Attorney" Michael Dockins is also a shoot attorney and has done a lot of work with wrestlers securing trademarks and otherwise advising them. He got into doing wrestling work via Chris Jericho, who has had him on his podcast a few times. The big/'big' stories of his work were helping various people (Cody Rhodes and Billy Gunn most prominently) claw back their names from WWE. He's also worked with/filed trademarks on behalf of:

Abadon, Adam Copeland, Adam Page, Alex Abrahantes, Andrade, Anthony Bowens, Anthony Ogogo, Armando Estrada, Arn Anderson, the rear end Boys, Baron Corbin, Barry Darsow, Billie Starkz, Big Swole, Blue Meanie, Brandi Rhodes, Brian Cage, Brian Myers, Britt Baker, Brock Anderson, Brodie Lee, Bruce Pritchard, Charlotte Flair, Chelsea Green, Christian Cage, Claudio Castagnoli, Conrad Thompson, Dakota Kai, Danhausen, Danny Cage, David Crockett, Dean Muhtadi, Diamante, Dragon Lee, EC3, Evil Uno, Eric Bischoff, FTR, Game Changer Wrestling, the Godfather, Goldberg, the Good Brothers, Griff Garrison, Grizzled Young Vets, Heidi Howitzer, Highspots, Hook, the IInspiration, Jade Cargill, Jay Lethal, Jeff Jarrett, Jim Ross, Joey Janela, Jon Moxley, Jordynne Grace, Jungle Boy, Kaleb with a K, KC Navarro, Keith Lee, Kenny Omega, Kevin Thorn, Killswitch/Luchasaurus, Lance Hoyt, Lio Rush, Mance Warner, Mark Sterling, Matt Cardona, Matt Menard, McKenzie Mitchell, Mercedes Monet, Mia Yim, Mick Foley, Mike Chioda, Miro, MJF, Nick Nemeth, Nigel McGuinness, Northeast Wrestling, Nyla Rose, ODB, Orange Crush, Ox Baker's estate, QT Marshall, Red Velvet, Ric Flair, Ricky Starks, RJ City, Rockstar Spud, Rocky Romero, Ruby Soho, Sam Roberts, Samuel Shaw, Satnam Singh, Scorpio Sky, Serena Deeb, Shawn Spears, Slex, Steph de Lander, Sting, Sukeban, Taz, Thunder Rosa, Tito Santana, Trent Beretta, Trinity Fatu, Vampiro, WALTER, William Regal, Wyndham Rotunda, the Young Bucks, and about a dozen podcasters/bloggers/vloggers that I haven't heard of but do wrestling content.

Given the sheer volume of Dockins's clients (and that they make up about 90% of non-Cornette wrestling podcasts) you are probably thinking of Dockins?
