Someone explain the thread title to me. I don't listen to enough (or any) Cornette to know about his opinions on Metallica's vocalists.

My main exposure to Cornette is the Cornette thread which is where I go to whenever life seems too good and I need to be reminded Cornette exists.

I believe this is from before Cornette went full nutjob and started monetizing how stupid he is. But it's still not a great card. And c'mon. Do you really gotta book yourself to get Dusty DQ'd?

My favorite part is that he seems to think him and his weird followers actually affected that. And not the fact that these episodes were written and produced weeks/months in advance. At the very least the episode that had him come back had to have been in production already by the time that one aired.

Regardless, the whole "willing to burn decades-long friendships over what pro wrestling they like" think is, as far as I know, a wholly recent development. So it's really a matter of what you consider "off the deep end," but "the last 26 months" is absolutely one of the acceptable answers.

Honestly, to me it seems like it was a longer time ago than 2 or so years but maybe that's because my perception of that is skewed. I just remember him really starting to double down on his shittiness a year or two before AEW even started.

But I guess the new big promotion run by his most favorite rant subjects might have knocked him down even further.

Love how everyone he's interacting with lately basically goes "Love you on Dark Side of the Ring / as a wrestling historian but please shut up otherwise" and I really have to agree with that.

Not only is he right, but this is also probably the most coherent paragraph I have read from Meltzer about anything

I'm glad I don't usually read anything from Meltzer because that paragraph could have easily been five or six paragraphs without changing any of the text and be infinitely more readable.

He is correct, though.

Are you talking about that Youshoot video where he just puts down a PPV card of WWE vs. WCW? Because yeah that sucked in an almost endearing kind of way. Cause you know he was trying his best.

I remember a story from an old Deadlock episode where Jawnny tells the story of how Nick Gage is the sweetest person. It was in CZW, I think.
Like, he was doing audio and NIck Gage came up and was like "YEAH THAT'S SOME GOOD poo poo KEEP IT UP!"
And more stuff where he's all encouraging despite it not being anything required or expected from him, especially not to an audio guy who probably just gets told not to play New Jack's theme at best.

Speaking of: He also told the story of Mox wanting to come out to Natural Born Killaz but they didn't let him so next time Mox just went up to Jawnny and said to play it anyway.

In Street Fighter II Ryu has six moves

Punch
Kick
Hadoken
Tatsumaki
Shoryuken
Throw

Ryu is a martial arts master. Six moves is all it takes.

Scott Steiner in AEW should be just him never being explicitly booked but just showing up demanding mic time and sometimes beating someone up. There shouldn't be any rhyme or reason. Like before a show just roll dice to see if Scott Steiner should show up or not and if the result is yes just give him a slot to crash the show. Let him do whatever he wants.

Trust me I know what I'm doing.


But yeah, Corny needs to clean up more than his hatred of the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega.

Not sure if true, maybe someone who actually listens to the show can confirm, but someone in a Discord Server I'm in said that Cornette's Co-host (assume it was Brian Last) called Cornette out on giving all the credit to Kenny Omega's opponents finally after Omega vs. Danielson by saying "Omega could cure cancer and you'd try to give credit to the patient"

Changing my opinion from "I love Danhausen because goons whine about mEmE wReStlErS" to "I hate Danhausen because Cornette likes him"

Ah yes, AEW, famous for ejecting fans for yelling NEEDLE-DICK at MJF or KENNY NO-BALLS or FAT-FACED DIPSHIT. How dare they throw one transphobe out! That'll only leave 6898 fans in the building!

Yeah, well, but if they had added one instead of ejecting one we'd be sitting at 6900 so it's impossible to tell if transphobia is good or bad.

I've long accepted that Jim Cornette doesn't really like wrestling. But at this point talking about it pretending there's wrestling he likes (which isn't the kind he watches) is his bread and butter.
