I had a woman and her kids next to me at ROH once who, even when the kids were not there, spoke as if she genuinely believed everything. She also chanted the f slur at Dalton Castle. This was maybe 2018?

The ones I've encountered understand the pageantry is fake, and maybe even that some of the matches have finishes that are worked, but actually believe that like, Stone Cold is champ because he won those matches for real or whatever.

outside of these shows the only thing people crawl out of the holler for(Cav is using the exact correct nomenclature) is a local city celebration, you don't want to see the things I see at the annual Daniel Boone Festival

also lmao Cav namedropping Pikeville out here, nice pull brother

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

“So an award named after Lou Thesz and Ric Flair goes to a balding plumber from Cincinnati that looks nothing like, or works nothing like or has no reputation, anything like Lou Thesz or Ric Flair”

“So we’re gonna see another garbage match where they’re gonna take all kinds of bumps and do all kinds of stupid s**t with barbed wire…They’re gonna take chances on legitimately injuring themselves. They’re probably gonna get cut up for real. For a match that had a phony build-up, that nobody believes, that just makes them look more goofy and outlaw. Like they’re one of these hardcore death match promotions… Instead of something that you could legitimately respect as an endeavour that’s being placed on national television. And it just buries the wrestling business again.”
“It’s gonna be ridiculous. And these things never work. They can’t put this television f*****g programme together flawlessly from an editing standpoint just formatting the f*****g thing. How do you think they are gonna do at advanced special effects?!…It’s stupid, it never works, it just looks low rent and cheap and sideshow-ish…I have high expectations that this is gonna be a technical fiasco and another outlaw garbage match between two f*****g guys that don’t know how to work.”

I like how in Jim’s world there are extremely strict laws on the books on what constitutes a wrestling show.

I went to a midnight opening for one of the CoD games wearing a CM Punk shirt and the manager told me with great sincerity that Shane McMahon was the real owner of TNA and Punk was going to switch companies very soon. He was very excited about this.

Thank you for watching this special episode of Marks Attacks

Is that an actual transcript, or did you just nail an awesome impression?

It's funny to hear Jim complain about a wrestler's look considering some of the people he's managed. Bobby Eaton's a hell of a wrestler, but he also looks like a guy who couldn't make assistant manager at a convenience store. Dennis Condry looked like he should've been running a junk yard.

That he unknowingly said this right after Mox went hold for hold with Harry Smith in a UWFi-style match is just delicious.

Dusty was the son of a plumber, so it's totally different.

Most of the guys Cornette loves from the 70s and 80s territories look like common shlubs next to modern wrestlers. Also I doubt Cornette has a good word to say about the bodybuilder physiques of the 80s WWF either. I’m beginning to suspect he just says whatever he thinks will get a pop from the members of his dopey cult!!

Lou Thesz was a balding dog breeder from the Upper Peninsula.

Or that one of his best guys in SMW was "Dirty White Boy" Tony Anthony*... who was balding and was TL Hopper in the WWF.

*No shade on Tony, who is genuinely really good and also absolutely fits the mold of 'he does not look like a great wrestler but the guy you have to really force out of the bar at last call.'

It sure is believable that the company started by the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega, three men who Cornette has been maligning for absolute years, were just beating down his door to ask him to come work with them. But the noble James E. Cornette turned down that big-money offer so he could live his dream and be a commentator on *checks notes* NWA Powerrrrrrrrr :rolleyes:
