Regardless if anything about Russo or booking or whatever, why is the argument stuck on Samoa Joe himself and not the fact that putting cornette in that outfit is bordering on the same poo poo as ace Ventura: when nature calls

White dudes dressing up in tribal outfits for a laugh isn’t something that i personally think is cool, and the thumbnail is therefore not good imo

Cornette intentionally goes for the opposite of whatever is a 'good look' because it keeps his broke brained moron fans sayin' HELL YEAH BROTHER on twitter and facebook

It’s that super outdated but not technically incorrect mindset that any promotion is good promotion, right? Except who the gently caress is Jim being the heel to draw against

Was Smoky Mountain traditionally considered to have good booking? I know they went the route of Continental and I'm sure many others and killed interest by not paying off stipulation matches and all which is probably my answer.

Cornette knew how to draw heat with his fan base at least

Reminder that part of that is leaning into the incredible racism of the region of the time with the Gangstas, but hey, it worked, rite

He’s really shockingly amusingly veered hard into Russo territory, because the only thing cornette can do anymore to get clicks is make controversy. If he can make people mad at him, and they listen to his podcast, he has succeeded.

He’d get super mad if he heard me say that, too. :allears:

I know the guy has been probated for a day, but for future reference when people call Jim Cornette out of touch, racist, xenophobic, transphobic, Islamaphobic, most other kinds of phobic, a cuckold, and various other things it's not because they're bullying him but because he is literally those things and is spewing hateful bile about everything other than the 2% of things in life that he actually likes. He is absolutely getting these responses because of his own actions.

You are the one who has been desperately begging someone in this thread to pat you on your head and tell you that you are a good doggie and you should keep listening to the dumb racist guy’s podcast

Here, i have a crazy idea for you: continue listening to whatever you want, but stop coming onto sa, posting something, and being shocked that this isnt the good time fool around forum, this is the forum for discussing wrestling

People then discussed the finer points of jim cornette

No, I have said I don't like how Cornette puts some things and if he hit the heights of bigotry he did in the past I'd stop listening. You are projecting - at least onto what I've heard in most of his shows since October 2022. It would be whataboutery if I didn't address his faults (which I clearly have consistently - even labelling moments in the Jay Briscoe video I found a bit too much); what I was doing was pointing out the hypocrisy of the AEW fans on here who will cry murder about JC but not apply the same values to their show.

Misogyny literally featured in a top angle on Dynamite last week.

There are accusations of sexual assault against Lethal spanning about as far back as the last overtly horrible thing JC said so if anyone can excuse Lethal's allegal assaults on women than excuse me for doing the same with Cornette's crazy rants.

I wouldn't spend all my energy bringing ugly things about AEW stars/company up every time someone posts positively on PSP, and while I don't expect this thread to stop criticising Jim Cornette I took exception in one instance. I think I've probably said my piece and happy to draw a line under it now and move on.

(USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

You are aware that plenty of us wailed and gnashed our teeth when jay lethal showed up and we would love for him to gently caress off

Edit: you obviously haven’t gotten in many fights behind the theatre building, Jack

I mostly mean that the look of dudes back then were often more “average joes spoiling for a fight”, like the long running joke that arn anderson is actually your stepdad who works nights and if he got woken up during the day, it was your rear end

Nowadays folks look like athletes there for a competition, not just for a fight. I prefer it this way.

I've edited my post to better show that part of it is a summary of what Jim Cornette and Brian Last were saying on the segment of their podcast, not necessarily things I believe or subscribe to. The clips being posted are really just fuel for the folk already angry about him to be more justified in their anger.

The Kenny comments were literally "oh, so you guys make assumptions it's because of us??? Wellll HERE'S SOME ASSUMPTIONS" absolute shite attempt at an ironic counter-attack. I wouldn't even think twice about it but for the amount of people who are now sharing it 24/7. Yes the historic rants about Kenny Omega are rank rotten and if you are already upset about the Kenny Omega comments and then you hear this clip, I can see why you think it's bringing it up again. In the context of the conversation on the podcast I just saw it as a bad attempt at irony.

Hana Kimura was brought up because "American fans" are being assumed to be at fault for Riho leaving Twitter. That left an awful taste in the mouth whether it was relevant or not, but also don't think it makes sense to share a clip of it where it seems like they're mocking or laughing about the whole situation.

I don't think it's worth the amount of pearl clutching and hyper-nuts some people are getting about it. If you listen to the segment it has a bunch of needling to AEW, Kenny and Riho fans - but the message was bracketed about experiences on social media not being great and saying not to harass anybody.

Cornette reserves the right to rant, criticise and mock anyone involved in the profession and I guess that makes sense because that's why his podcasts are popular.

This kind of comment is just so silly and needless. If you didn't want me to :justpost: then don't bring me up, block me, just anything other than this weird poo poo.

Why are you even bothering to post this

You used all these words and the only real takeaway is “you all aren’t being fair to jim cornette :(“ and you have absolutely not spent a single brain cycle trying to understand a single thing anyone has said to you, about you, or more importantly, about cornette
