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 won. They seem to have it out for her in particular


Yeah, Riho is pretty popular and her segments typically gained viewers. I love how these idiots and Corny think they speak for the entire American audience

Cornette is basically a professional troll, but man, his followers are scary repugnant

Is Cornette worse than Ian Rotten at this point? I assume not, in so far as all Jim does is say hateful poo poo and Ian has physically hurt multiple people

i dont know, i think i would rather get my rear end kicked than be forced to have sex with cornettes wife for a push

Why not both?


Anyway, its pretty telling that he chose basketball instead of MMA where women have been proven draws. Corny wont let nothin take away from his narrative

I saw him do the fire dance entrance a couple times in the indies in the early 2000's before TNA . The idea that he doesnt like it is kind of dumb

The nazi gimmicked Baron von Raschke used to go for an iron claw and when his opponent ducked he would apply it to the turnbuckle and he had trouble releasing it. Somehow this is realistic to corny

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, its kind of like how ted williams was a horrible batting coach.

At what point is it felt that Cornette really went off the deep end?

I dont think he has really changed, he was always like this. The business just got less carny

Tojo Yamamoto named after the WWII Japanese Prime Minister Tojo and the Admiral Yamamoto was tooootally not a stereotype

Wasn't Dave's gimmick being summoned from the sea (or water, given it was OVW) which was Jim basically ripping off Kevin Sullivan's Army of Darkness angle in Florida where Sullivan does the same thing to Purple Haze?
