JUNGLE BOY posted:https://twitter.com/TheJimCornette/status/1371075639873257479 Is Cornette really like touting his chances in a physical altercation with a 300 pound trained wrestler when Cornette is a 60 year old man and looks increasingly like a statue sculpted of warm butter?

Didn't Ian hold a fundraising card for a kayfabe injury once? (Which is not to say he's worse than Cornette because I still strongly lean 'not.')

davidbix posted:Ian is much more of a surface carny, but whose carniness is lovable in a weird way. For example, he and Dave Prazak had a pretty ugly split years ago after Ian booked a maatch that was seemingly designed just to undermine Prazak, Jimmy Jacobs, and B.J. Whitmer's jobs in Ring of Honor. (Specifically, he put Jacobs and Whitmer, the ROH champs, together as a team for the first time on an IWA show solely so he could job them out.) Yet they ended up friendly again a few years ago and Prazak has done commentary for IWA shows on occasion since then. Even though Ian didn't always provide the safest environment or most reliable payoffs, he's also provided a pretty fantastic learning atmosphere that helped shape a lot of careers. Since he's also a lot more easygoing than Jim is, all of that results in him probably being a lot less hated by wrestlers right now, at least. It is crazy the talent that got honed in IWA. Every early card I see from them read's like The Indies' Who's Who of the 00's. The women too, of course. Didn't Prazak start SHIMMER because he saw them come through IWA-MS and was like 'hey, there's enough women wrestlers to run a promotion?'

If Jim weren't, you know, Jim it would probably be fun to have a look around his office. Like somebody showed a picture of Terry Funk's home office a while back on Twitter and I could have gotten lost just looking at the programs on the walls.

Claiming that the screaming is awful, the goofy faces are the worst, the facepaint is awful, the "vito scotty loving gilligan's island japanese soldier impression", and her just screaming gibberish. He also implied in previous rants that all joshi wrestlers are like Asuka and ham up their Japanese behavior. "Goofy faces and screaming is awful!"

Hogan and DUSTY at that time. Just... no. No, thank you. I refuse. (Maybe Dusty in Dustin's corner if we have to.) Also Dudleys and Warriors. Like at the time I liked the Dudleys but the Roadies were so past their sell-by date and I hate saying that being a big Road Warriors fan since I was in elementary school. Show/Kane and the Steiners is also a match involving four people you could have.

Was Smoky Mountain traditionally considered to have good booking? I know they went the route of Continental and I'm sure many others and killed interest by not paying off stipulation matches and all which is probably my answer.

It’s always funny to watch Cornette stick to the mentality that the way it was done in 1987 was the way it could only be done when people of his same era have more sense like Terry Funk or Ricky Gibson and do things like look on the bright side of the death of kayfabe or go out of their way to praise new talent.

I had up 'til that point only seen Greg Valentine as this sort of bland midcard dude who once dyed his hair and tried to pretend to play guitar with the Honky Tonk Man and here he was trying to shoot murder Roddy Piper with a chain.

coconono posted:ok Cornette always alleges that Omega wrestled. I think I heard Omega tell the story once and keep forgetting the detail discrepancies. If it helps it's the first time I've heard Omega didn't wrestle. Which is not to say I don't believe it, mind you, so I figure it just means that part gets left out because the shouty tennis racket man is doing his thing.

Nick Jr. Face posted:Thanks for reminding me how truly awful the Russo Era of WCW was, especially with the heavy use of insider terms on television, which was dumb considering a large segment of the audience didn't follow backstage news on the Internet. I still wonder if Russo genuinely thought they'd pop the house with "What's the matter, Sid? LOST YOUR SCISSORS?" when there were maybe a dozen people at most in the crowd would might have gotten it and most of them didn't care.

Out of morbid curiosity I checked in on the Twitter feed of the Cornpilled idiot who jumped the guardrail and he spends his time yelling about how he doesn't like either promotion (despite retweeting people talking up WWE), claiming he's working on something 'special' and hilariously says he could beat up Nick Gage despite himself being shown the door by an announcer.

Davros1 posted:I don't know Jim, a company trying to sell a PPV by showcasing ten of their top talents? What gets me, and it shouldn't because it's me talking about Jim Cornette in the Year of Our Lord 2021 and I know better, is complaining that the first match is now apparently when you should go get your soda and popcorn and not watching the match that sets the tone for the entire card. Pretty sure the Midnights were in more than their share of hot openers but I guess I should have gone to get my giant foam finger then instead of watching.

The only one who had the decency to look embarrassed was a young Prototype John Cena.

Also Bobby Eaton was an amazing high flyer. So.
