do the people who talk about how wrestling was watched by 100 million people every week in the 80s ever also talk about or even just consider that boxing was also incredibly popular in the 80s and 90s and also suffered a similar downswing in popularity that can't be attributed to "goddamn fake video game playing phonies killing the business"

in a nutshell they're not serious enough and do too much "we all know this is fake wink wink" bullshit e.g., kenny does a hadouken and someone takes a bump from it or orange cassidy's entire character. he feels that this is making a mockery of wrestling.

then a lot of other little things but that's really the crux of it

close, the actual answer is because they did not give him a job

I love how Cornette is naming them, pauses for a second and Nash chimes in "side slam" only for Cornette to remember "...sidewalk slam" and Nash give a satisfied nod as Oliver busts up laughing

That's what I thought too, but apparently Lambert did the same shtick in Impact so who knows?

his schtick on Impact was more like "YOU PEOPLE CALL YOURSELVES REAL WRESTLING FANS, WELL MR REAL WRESTLING FANS WHEN DID RIC FLAIR WIN THE NWA US TITLE FOR THE FIRST TIME? THATS RIGHT YOU DON'T KNOW. WHICH ONE OF THESE AWA TAG TITLES IS HAWK'S AND WHICH ONE IS ANIMAL'S? I BET YOU KNOW BECAUSE YOU'RE A REAL WRESTLING FAN"

He was also on the WWF creative time for most of 1996-1997. First it was him, Vince McMahon, and Bruce Prichard, with Bruce eventually taking a detour to Talent Relations and Vince Russo joining the team in his place. He was writing TV for them as things started to turn around, so he deserves some credit there, too.

i choose to interpret this as jim cornette being responsible for the Godwinns being loving omnipresent in the WWF for those two years

In a way cornette is right that a 15 minute spot fest is unhealthy and lacks the artistry of a 3 hour long Kings road struggle but it tastes great and everyone can enjoy it so in closing gently caress off cornette give me my cheeseburgers.

No dont worry, he hates King's Road matches too because theyre japanese and "have no psychology"

I've not heard anything that has made me slam shut my YouTube playlists since starting to listen on the regular late last year. A couple of those things sound like something Bill Maher would come out with, and I hate Bill Maher so you may have a point I should hate him, but I don't. I think Cornette tells a great story, is funny and I don't agree with everything or the way he puts it (as I've already said).

In summary, lol:

tennis racket is less stupid than a sword or a large hammer you cant use like a normal person without killing your opponent so you have to do some extrordinarily weird hit that makes no sense. I dont even remember ever seeing him smash the racket over someones head leaving it around their neck. You can also go racket akimbo and really lay into someone. it can even be an electric racket or barbwire. The more i type the more i think the tennis racket was wasted by old JC. Someone needs to reclaim that from him.

i thought he would literally just carry around an empty tennis racket bag and hit people with that

Hi, brainless here. I'm listening to the show and this segment just now. I think the quoted comments are the edgiest things in the conversation, which essentially is boiling down to:

Yeah the internet sucks. We also get death threats on our family all the time, we block them.

People assuming it's the fault of Cornette and his fans (and attacking them) are assuming a lot (Brian Last flub at making a ReVeNgE aSsUmPtiOn on Kenny Omega - Omega's comments about American fans harassing Riho is why they brought up Hana Kimura, I don't think that was needed at all).

Don't harass anyone.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY-1rVFPWEA

I don't agree with everything Cornette says, btw, but since you referred to me. I don't like 99% of comments he makes about women's wrestling in general. I also don't like what Hasan Abi said about the Hogwarts game or his failed allyship with the transgender community - but I'm not assumed to be a brainless bastard because I still listen to a bunch of his content.

Im going to beat you over the head with steel chairs until you have enough concussions you cant look at a computer screen anymore
