didn't bryan on a pretty recent show tell a story about meeting some old wrestler who everyone said had great psychology, but when bryan asked him a question about his match psychology he had no loving clue what bryan was talking about?

Haven't listened in a long time, but there's a story he used to tell about asking Buddy Rose to teach everyone something about ring psychology and Buddy was terrible at putting it into words. Some people just aren't good teachers.

yeah it was Buddy Rose. But I feel like the way Bryan told the story it was less Buddy just not being a very good teacher and more like people just over analyzing what made these old guys great, and buddy just having no idea how to respond because he never gave that much thought to his work it in the same way Bryan and others did . 'psychology' is probably the easiest part of wrestling.

Jim cornette once again proven to be wrong. Not only are todays wrestlers tougher than in the past, this whole thing shows that now even the announcers are tough enough to beat the poo poo out of a fan. The wrestlers dont even have to dirty their hands roughing up marks anymore.

Yeah, him talking about size in that clip makes zero sense since Shida and Deeb are practically the same size.

Cornett wants wrestling to go back to a time when all the wrestlers were pedophiles

Not quite: In a lot of territories, particularly the one (Memphis) where Jim broke in, having regular sex with fans was considered good for business because it would help them draw female fans and drawing female fans led to drawing more young male fans. It wasn't a kayfabe violation thing, but it was still weird and dumb.

destroyer told a really funny story on some wor he was on about how one of his seniors told him you gotta sleep with the ugly women because if you just sleep with the hot ones the ugly ones would think they have no chance and would stop coming. destroyer thought it was a rib before the logic behind it was explained to him.

a 1 hour and 44 minute match with 13 and a half minutes of rest periods sounds awful. someone should steal the oxygen spot though.

Honestly, its not that deep. People just see a black man and a gorilla and automatically think racism. All Jim said was "I dont care if Mighty Joe Young or Cheetah can do all the moves, it doesn't matter if they aren't pushed as a threat." Pretty much saying Swerve and Fletcher can have an amazing match but you cant see Fletch as a threat cuz all he's done is lose. He's not calling Swerve a gorilla but they're purposely leaving out context to make you think the worst thing possible.

You know why people see a black man and a gorilla on Corny's art and think racism? It's because he's a huge loving racist. Hope this helps.

I know this is a week old, but I decided to look into this further and listened to the youtube clip this is from.

The q-tip is in reference to Kyle Feltcher looking like a qtip because of his dumb hair.

Jim as a gorilla is actually jim as mighty Joe Young because Jim said, "he doesn't care if mighty Joe Young or a cheetah are out their doing all the moves perfectly. None of that matters if the wrestler wasn't pushed before hand as a threat to the singles world title."

The entire segment was about how Jim thought AEW handled Swerve's first match as champ poorly. He thinks it made Swerve look like a chump to have him wrestle a nobody who hasn't won a match all year, have Swerve look like he is struggling, have it be 15 minutes, and not have Swerve talk afterward.

So there we go.

finally someone says it

Obviously this thread has only one rule, which is to never give Cornette the benefit of the doubt and that Just Asking Questions or straight Cornette defense isn't allowed. But please, if Hoot is doing his boneheaded poo poo I promise it's okay to just not react. Or metaphorically post "ughgh" and scroll away.

gently caress Cornette and his art guy though, gross!!

imo its fine to respond in the corn thread. its not like all this posting is ruining the sanctity of it.
