At this point any major company has to see Cornette as a liability. Why risk 23 loving million dollars to get 'heat'.

Cornette's mindset is you should absolutely lose 23 million dollars if it'll get you heat.

Watch me try to laugh this title off like the dickbag I am.

I also hang out with racists.
Goldenboy is a bigger wrestling fan and better desk guy than JR, and while his schedule is probably too busy with better paying gigs to do AEW full-time I like that he did it a little bit and managed to fit it in because calling a wrestling show was his ultimate dream

"I'll bet you Jericho Moxley and Cody are the only guys with a record above 50/50"... flat out false assumption by Jim while discussing and burying the idea of records.

In 2019 22 people had 500 or over records.

In 2020 35 people are at 500 or above

Being 19 or 32 off ain't bad.

How would that even work unless everyone was wrestling Jericho and Cody all the time?

this glorious monument

Do you think he is in love with hate? Are we in love with hate? Do we love his hate? Would we miss it if it was gone? Why is it so hard to disengage with things that bring us only misery? It would be so easy to just consign him to the void otherwise.

It's a quarantine thread, and I'd rather have discussion limited to one thread I could easily avoid instead of it infecting every other thread I read. Maybe I'd feel differently if Cornette or a Cornette fanboy/troll posted on SA going "Well, actually..." all the time but that isn't the case.

Hmmm, Cornette making GBS threads on matches involving Tsuruta, Misawa, Hokuto and Kandori? I sure have no idea what those 4 have in common. I really don't. In fact, I'm curious as to what may colour the shouty fuckman's opinion on the matter.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume the match is probably from early-90's All Japan, where the in-ring product was pretty much built entirely around psychology and long-term storytelling.

Cornette has established at this point he think there's only one way to do pro wrestling psychology & anything that isn't it is bad. It's loving dumb because you'd think an old timer would be all "whatever draws is good" but eh, can hardly say you're stunned by hypocrisy.

I mean you’re not wrong. But he’s always had good stuff to say about Tiger Mask, The Great Kabuki and Muta, but that’s because he worked with him (except Tiger Mask I believe) so in his head they’re smart.

Brian Hildebrand was absolutely the man, though. An astonishing worker and student of the game who was only ever hired as a referee or guy in a costumer because he was too small. Ironically he would have been perfect for the midcard of the AEW roster.

In Mick Foley's first book he talks about Hildebrand spending hours studying tapes of Japanese wrestling. So if he was around today he'd not only be a perfect fit for AEW, but probably a big target for the rage of Cornette and his chud fanboys.

Misawa unmasked in 1990 and Jumbo was done as a top guy after getting hepatitis in 1992, so...yeah. And early '90s AJPW had none of the questionable excess that would come later, so that's...interesting. Especially since Hokuto-Kandori is also a gritty storytelling epic.

All three of those guys would leave Cornette in an alleyway if he so much as looked at them funny. The problem with today’s wrestlers is they’re not unhinged psychopaths.

People don't do this. Trolls aren't real. Trolls have never been real.Nobody spends years pretending to have an opinion they don't and pretending to be really angry about it unless they actually believe the thing.

That's just something the worst loving people on Earth say when somebody catches them being an absolute piece of poo poo.

Shitposters like, uh... some we have here? Sure. Absolutely. People absolutely find genuine enjoyment in absurdism. But just being a loving rear end in a top hat about something as a gimmick?

You can't be racist ironically.

Believing something or not doesn’t make someone not a troll you can have racist beliefs and still be a troll. A troll is just someone who deliberately says something to push buttons. What they believe or not doesn’t really matter.
