The first time in ages I have seen a Cornette clip circulating for reasons unrelated to him being lovely:

"He'll just go places and do things for money" Well gosh Jim, I thought the point of wrestling was to make money and the marks were the ones doing it for other reasons.

Maybe he's mad that Eric's doing the legends grift wrong. You're not supposed to actually do wrestling-related poo poo, you're supposed to sit in your in your house and talk about how much wrestling sucks unless it's done exactly the same way it was done in South Carolina in 1979!!

If WWE couldn't make money off NFTs why the hell does TNA think they'll somehow do better?

What was his opinion on Punk before this? I'm gonna assume he hated Punk and wanted him dead for signing with AEW to begin with but now that Punk is the Anti-Elite he worships the guy.

I like that he calls people cosplay wrestlers when his gimmick for cena was “terminator” and his gimmick for batista was “gangrel but jacked”

Also spent most of his career wearing Lupin III suits

What does he even expect there'd be in Discovery? Does he think this would be the moment the veil lifts and reveals AEW is all just paper mache and strings?

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.

They both work for AEW so he probably thinks they should be drug into the street and shot for crimes against wrestling

tony kahn tried to hire every single person who has been near a wrestling ring that wasnt currently working for the WWE... except Vince Russo, hallowed be his name

To be fair he also banned Hulk Hogan for life from the company, who I'm sure is extremely devastated about this

Jim's one of them Southern Democrats which basically means he's still as racist as the average Republican but can see how lovely they are in other ways

Didn't Cornette also disown Jim Ross for the crime of getting paid by AEW as well?

corny is probably in the top 2% most progressive men in his age bracket from his part of the world

And even then he still hates women, black people, gay people, trans people, etc etc.

He just hates Trump alongside them.

When a guy has a reputation for saying insanely racist stuff so often it's cost him multiple jobs he doesn't really get the luxury of the benefit of the doubt when he does something that looks insanely racist on the surface even if it actually isn't it.

If you hear someone make a racist joke you should probably just assume they're making an innocent reference to a 75 year old movie unless proven otherwise.

Also it's wild that the defense to the fried chicken thing as "Well it wasn't a joke about black people it was a joke about starving people cause there was a famous famine that he's probably referring to" as if mocking an event where thousands of people starved to death is a perfectly normal thing to do???
