Also, minor compared to the rape threat, but Flair/Race for an hour? Really? I can understand Flair/Steamboat, but by the time Ric was hitting his peak, Harley was way past his.

This isn't about agreeing or disagreeing with Cornette, but I can assure you that he's not working with this stuff. I don't even understand why "Cornette isn't actually mad, he's just working" has become such a widespread thing, past that Omega has an audience and he's spread it.

coconono posted:

its funny because Cornette yells that these guys are all on outlaw mud shows when he's the one that only gets booked for money mark vanity feds that'll coddle his balls constantly.

I think he's confused who is making money wrestling these days.

I don't see why it can't be both. I'm sure Cornette hates the current indie style, but he has a podcast so he takes it up to 12 with the anger and theats and what have you.

It's a carnie business, so you then anything controversial gets turned into heat in an attempt to draw.

Do I think he would he work with those guys if he thought it would earn money? Absolutely.

IIRC the basic premise of this (he hates x but goes to extremes about it because there's an audience for that) was his argument when the cops showed up at his door with a restraining order for threatening Russo

Cornette's doing this stuff to get a rise out of fans. It brings him a certain atavistic joy to have people blow up his mentions screaming that their sacred calf is being verbally mutilated. I enjoy hearing him pop off, honestly. Even if I eyeroll while doing it.

And he does make money, just not in the way he constantly harps people on. He's got a pretty loyal fanbase that knows him from his heyday but he's not growing new fans. The stuff he yells about are the things 20 somethings look at him like he's from mars.

The Bucks have claimed Jim approached them at a show to do a run in PWG where he'd manage them to get heat but by then he'd said some gross poo poo about Matt and Nick's families so they told him to kick rocks. Feasible but not sure if it's true.

They’ve all made it clear they don’t want anything to do with Cornette. I think Cornette started off irritated by the elite but kind of excited to do business with them but they didn’t appreciate the tone he was taking and knew he was being kind of truthful about his opinion and weren’t insterested. Totally different generations working different angles essentially. Cornettes used to people working with people they hate to garner heat. Bucks and Omega think that’s dumb and there’s no reason they should have to rely on that when they’re the biggest acts around without it. I can see an argument from both sides tbh but I can also see a reason they shouldn’t interact

Omega and the Bucks don't really get anything from working with Cornette at this point, so why would they put up with him? It's not like they're new guys trying to get over and Cornette is some high-profile figure these days.

At this point, Mudman abruptly ends the conversation. He usually insists on the last word.
Cornette being an old crotchety angry rear end in a top hat who hates comedy wrestling rules

He's an angry purist who spits and talks about the good old days and its funny and cool

EDIT: I also admire Jim's purity of vision. He has a clear idea of what wrestling should be and how it should operate, and I kind of admire that level of philosophical commitment to the craft.

First time watching SMW, the first match: one of the wrestlers roll up the ref and the other wrestler count 3. That was the finish. Or it could have been the ref pinning the wrestler. I turned that poo poo off.
