Cornette isn't even a leftist; I have no idea how anyone got that idea. He's extremely angry at Republicans whenever the topic comes up, but so are a lot of Democrats his age.

I haven't kept up with, nor thought much about Cornette in awhile. The most charitable possible interpretation is that leaning into his character and pandering to his audience of crusty old wrestling smarks has made him more insane and unhinged over time. Be careful what you pretend to be, and all that.

Yeah he claimed it contained a horseshoe, a chain around the outside, and a cut out metal pan. But he also claims fans in the 70s believed wrestling was real, so who knows.

Wrestling is still a simulation of a fight. That hasn't changed. I think those people don't really know what they mean. And sure, pro wrestling did used to look like an actual wrestling match, but that was well and truly gone by the time Jim Cornette was born. Even in the 30s, when the in-ring action looked plausible, you still had masked man gimmicks and outrageous screwjobs that were hard to believe. Ricky Morton didn't wrestle Dick Shikat. I think the idea that 70s fans were marks is something that Cornette started exaggerating in his first shoot interviews. Then he doubled down on it, along with every other aspect of the character he plays in "shoot" interviews, until he became this parody of himself who can't go a minute without saying something offensive and expects you to believe that the Midnight Express were chased by mobs with pitchforks and torches. In another thread I brought up some old Disco Inferno essays that I can't find now. In one of them, he pointed out that some boxer had recently lost a championship title because they found out that he cheated by putting plaster in his gloves. That puts to bed the idea that a legitimate sporting match could be won by cheating when there's video footage of him whacking his opponent with a loving chair.

In the context Cornette's talking about, someone who believes wrestling is real, or at least real enough that they want to maim someone in the parking lot for pretending to win a pretend match by pretending to cheat. Anyway, this one's my favourite.

I mean, not really. Can you think of a real fight where someone was beat up so bad they couldn't move, while the other guy decided to climb up the wall and then jump on him headfirst, instead of just stomping on him or something?

Sure, people do stuff like that. I'm just saying that by the 70s, obviously worked stuff was happening every 5 seconds in a wrestling match. The last time a reasonable person could believe a wrestling match was actually competitive was probably in the early 50s.

I don't know if Kenny can sue, but this is some real glass-house poo poo from a guy who, if I'm not mistaken, shared a locker room with Grizzly Smith and probably other assorted creeps over the years.

I can't picture his current fanbase. It can't all be guys who are old enough to have actually been there for the good old-school wrestling. Don't tell me bearded 30something leftist wrestling nerds are big Corny fans.

Cornette just has to talk about this poo poo for the attention. His knowledge of and taste in wrestling is so irrelevant to the mainstream that his natural audience is just other old people who really think that some random squash from Mid-South is better than Okada vs. Omega. That's not a lot of people, so he has to talk about stuff that is relevant. And he has to talk about it like a teenager reviewing a video game they hate in 1999 because that's his character.

I love it when Cornette shares his political opinions. Because he's a mainstream liberal, and a great look at what that actually means, unfiltered.
