The funny thing is, the Young Bucks are so head and shoulders above most tag teams with their crazy offence that they remind me of the Midnight Express, who Cornette managed. I actually think Jim managing them would be MONEY.

Sadly, Jim clearly disagrees.

I dunno, I'm pretty sure Jim really does hate Russo and Ferrara. He spat on Ferrara in retaliation for Oklahoma, for gently caress's sake.

He said on his podcast recently that he loves them as people and thinks they're incredibly talented athletes but he doesn't like their matches because they're generic indie as gently caress spotfest superkick parties with no psychology or selling.

I only agree a little.

Indie as gently caress spotfest superkick parties with no psychology or selling? Welllllll...yes I suppose. But it's ENTERTAINING Indie as gently caress spotfest superkick parties with no psychology or selling.

But Generic? Come on now, James.

Well he is notoriously old-school so I could see why he hates it. I think the exact quote was "what PWG fans think all wrestling is."

If Cornette didn't get lettuce on his burger I can only imagine the wrath that would be put upon those poor Wendy's drive through attendants.

I went to McDonalds once and asked for a McChicken with no lettuce, so of course they gave me a bun with just lettuce.

Kind of dumb to include Generico in the list of burials when he went to NXT and started talking like Jim wanted. Jim has a lot of dumb beliefs but his views on Generico's ceiling had much better reasoning than hating comedy, fat guys, and superkicks.

We did. It was a story about a guy being told to suck it & then getting kicked in his face 20 times.

I actually agree with Matt. Cornette's ideas on what wrestling is are not modern enough, nor are they old fashioned enough. Wrestling is "entertaining the fans" and "making money". If you're getting the crowds in and getting them to react to fun matches, moving tickets and selling merch, you're succeeding at wrestling.

The Young Bucks are essentially a tag team of Sabu & Sabu back when he could hit his stuff regularly, except they are smartasses.

No joke, from like, 93-95, he was genuinely on point and pretty good. The guy was too hard on his body though, and now he's a mess.

you might be remembering incorrectly because he was always really sloppy, he just had the charisma and lack of self-preservation sense to make up for it. The bucks are very technically proficient and tight with everything they do. Honestly a team of 90s RVD and RVD would be a better comparison

The one TNA match RVD and Sabu had was pretty much clean of botches, which kinda killed the fun.

Their matches against each other tend to usually be better than most Sabu matches, I assume it's because they have worked each other so many times.

Sabu could actually work pretty well, I'm just at this point like 80% sure he just did a lot of high risk easily botched poo poo because it was a running joke even back in the ECW days that he was a botch machine.

Wasn't he actually, like, trained up as a technical wrestler or something? He's not exactly a mat wizard but sometimes you can see flashes of it.

Kind of dumb to include Steen as well given the fact that Jim Cornette yielded to giving him the belt and letting him be a fat rear end version of Stone Cold Steve Austin in ROH. Just be nice to Jim Cornette ok
