Should Cornette-adjacent takes be posted here too?

The Wrestling Inc guys don't like the female Japanese wrestlers. At least not the ones in AEW. I was watching one of their shows and one of them, I think it was Matt, said that they don't connect with the American audience. Pretty sure Riho connects with the audience just fine. I knew they were all going to be pissed when Shida one. They seem to have it out for her in particular

Apparently Raj also said that Ryo's Kojima chops looked like sexual assault.

I'm going to hazard a guess that Maki was being overly cautious to not bust up the world champ/the company's equipment in her first TV match

Also she would've legitimately hurt her eardrums probably.

I feel like even if these things make sense in the context of what they're talking about a non-racist person would look at the art they've commissioned and be like "hang on a second, maybe not"

I hate listened to a bunch of Cornette clips during the height of the quarantine last year and drat is it difficult to follow. He’s got so many terrible nicknames I could barely tell who he was talking about half the time. He seems to like calling Kenny Omega “Twinkletoes” or “Kenny Olivier”. I don’t have any clue what the Kenny Olivier thing is, his real name is Tyson Smith.

Also he does a running gag with a fake lawyer and plays a song that doesn’t make any sense. I don’t get it at all. I was deeply confused by all of this.

He's making fun of Kenny's exaggerated facial expressions and selling by comparing him to celebrated theatre actor Laurence Olivier.

He also wished brain damage on Orange Cassidy recently.

...who thinks he's WWE Champion?

Think this is referring to JR's flub a few months ago.

Not sure, I think there was a sub-dirt sheet guy or twitter maniac who believed it. I don't think it's a reference to JR.

I figured JR because JR said recently that Randy Orton is the best wrestler so far in 2021.

Knowing the idiot's motivation it's kind of weird that he'd interrupt a segment with a veteran like Jericho and an old school never breaks kayfabe heel like MJF when Orange Cassidy and the Bucks were on the show.

Cornette turned on MJF some time ago.

In case anyone was curious, Cornette is doing the "both sides" about the fan jumping the barricade incident.

Why does he think it's bad when the crowd is behind the babyface

This is the Cornette thread, but apparently Konnan is expressing doubt on his podcast that Hangman should be the next champion because "the fans may want it, but Hangman doesn't bring any new fans into the product".

Someone posted a text summary of his actual All Out review. Some real dumb stuff in here:


quote:

First comment: We had to suffer through a lot but we got a lot at the end.

Said Eddie Kingston vs Miro was not bad but it really hurt Jon Moxley vs Satoshi Kojima because they did all the same spots. Said AEW should have asked for someone more relevant than Kojima from their new partner. Doesn't get how bringing in Suzuki is going to get new fans interested. All he comments is "why?".

Baker vs Statlander. Went for a toilet break and a sprite. Missed the match. Asked Brain Last about it and he gave it a favourable review.

Lucha Bros vs Young Bucks. Did not enjoy the Lucha Bros entrance. Said that they tried to "kill the event". Fast forwarded a lot. Was shocked to see a thumbtack shoe. Complained that the crossbody off the top of the cage didn't make sense. Said Penta jumping up straight after the spot was really dumb. And didn't get how a 25ft crossbody wasn't the finish itself. Said he couldn't keep track of what was going on and doesn't know how people can like it.

Women's Casino Battle Royal. Noted Ruby Soho won. Talked about entrance music for a while. Cornette didn't watch. Cornette said he would have prefer a straight Ruby Soho vs Thunder Rosa match.

MJF vs Jericho. Said this match was very slow because of Jericho. MJF is a great heel. Hated the second referee overturning the result spot. Said it should have been the finish and having MJF win would have been better. They both say Jericho cannot go anymore. They both LOVE MJF a lot. "MJF got as much out of Jericho as any wrestler could".

Punk vs Darby. Said everything made sense. Best match he's ever seen Darby Allin have. Like that Punk worked Darby's back after the ring post spot. Punk's poo poo looked good. Loved the GTS on Darby with him falling to the outside. LOVED the Punk sitting up spot on the coffin drop. "Great Job". Very much enjoyed it. Said now they need to bring the rest of the roster up to this standard.

Paul Wight vs QT Marshall. Said it was perfect placing to bring the crowd back down between the 2 big matches. Didn't agree that Wight should have been wasted having a match with QT. Likened it to bringing an aging Andre the Giant back to face a conquistador just for the sake of it.

Enjoyed the Malakai Black promo. Want a Punk vs Malakai Black match down the road.

Christian vs Omega. Started out as a hockey fight. Goes through the match, saying he just doesn't like Omega's moves and spots. Said if a manager is in the ring it should be a DQ as per the traditional rules. Did not enjoy the match. Brian Last enjoyed it. Didn't really give reasons, just sort of complained about it because "Omega".

Post Main Event Segment. The Elite start getting the heat on Christian Cage. Said he understands Jungleboy and Luchasaurus coming out because you want to push these guys but verbatim he said "I don't get why you send the dwarf (Marko Stunt) out with them". Said when you see Marko you just want to laugh. Cornette said by putting Adam Cole with The Elite he has been ruined because he has to suffer watching the other members of The Elite to see him. "Putting Cole in a group straight away diminishes his Aura because he's no longer an outsider, he's one of the boys. It makes his appearance less special". Danielson appears said he's glad these guys are here but worried that they're relying on surprises.


I want to highlight this in particular because this may be the thing that made me roll my eyes the most.

The latest lovely take from Jim is that hospitals should refuse to treat deathmatch wrestlers who get injured as a result of doing deathmatches.
