People seemed to still love Jim Cornette after some of the worst things he did, like the Muslim rant and n-word stuff. I noticed on this forum in particular it wasnt until he started trolling LU fans and then especially when he started talking poo poo on AEW that people really started to hate him.

Many of us here have been calling Cornette a piece of poo poo for YEARS This isn't a recent thing. He's been saying and doing awful poo poo for decades.

I also recall him defending the KKKonfederate flag to his former podcast cohost. I *don't* recall that inspiring as much outrage as did his criticisms of Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks.

It wasn't just that he disliked their matches, a lot of the rants were couched in homophobic dogwhistles about Kenny and the Bucks not looking or acting like "real men." It's not hard to read between the lines what he really thought about them.

What was Corny's reaction when #MeToo first started in late 2017? I'm just curious considering the way he's acting about being named during #SpeakingOut.

collocation posted:He has a confederate flag throw/quilt over his couch in his living room... Yup. IMO Cornette has been the person he is for a long time. IIRC, his so called "wokeness" stemming from the mid 2000s came as a result of his savings and investments being devastated due to the Bush Depression. Even during/after that he was saying hateful things about *all* Muslims, defending the KKKonfedarate flag and spouting wildly homophobic and sexist things. IME, that didn't get a fraction of the negative attention he gets these days. IMO that's because he dumps on current darlings. Does that mean I think folks don't have the right to have an opinion about him? No, but I also think that those who are so offended by him (again, that's their right) could simply avoid his podcasts and twitter feeds. He doesn't have a presence in current mainstream pro wrestling. He isn't an elected official. He isn't a co-worker relative or supervisor that we have to tolerate to get through the weekday. IMO he's an aging carny with outdated ideals, a horrible temper and no impulse control. I think he does what he does partially because his personality compels him. Also, I'm sure he knows it's the best way to get attention. In the era of monetized outrage-he's cashing in. Or at least he was-we'll see how the recent allegations will impact his earning potential.

he has been those things though. he was employed at mlw until he opened his stupid mouth and the backlash got him shitcanned. he was employed at nwa until he opened his stupid mouth and the backlash made him quit before they could fire him. its going to keep happening. hes going to always try to worm his way into spaces and he needs to be shouted down and rebuffed at every turn.

Agreed. IMO that's the responsibility of his peers and potential employers. To be clear to those who appear to take my posts *very* personally (to the point of indulging in ad hominem responses)...I DO NOT agree with Jim Cornette's views. I also don't go out of my way to be exposed to them. From my experience, the folks who claim to hate the guy seem to follow him more intently than his so-called "Cult". Again-he isn't an elected official with the power to impact my way of life. He doesn't appear in any wrestling show I might watch. His (past/present and potential future) co-workers bear the responsibly of confronting him to make it clear his antics aren't welcome or appropriate. I think rage sharing his posts/slamming him in fan forums is going to have limited (if any) impact on his ability to get a public venue beyond his little niche. IMO the fan crusade against Jim would be better focused on his podcast sponsors and the places he could *possibly* end up working. Though from what I hear, he's burned bridges everywhere-so what's left for him to worm his way into? (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST) (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

The cool thing about a global pandemic is the people who argue "don't you have something better to do" or "this would be better focused" are just blatantly lying to you. No one is working, no one can go outside, you have all the time in the world to post about how much Jim Cornette sucks.

J.J. Sefton posted:Agreed. you said you agreed with my post and then said the opposite. the people that are vocal about cornette are the canary in the coal mine to any employers considering working with him to not do it in the first place. and when he DOES get hired, those same people are telling those employers that they are losing business by keeping him hired. you cant say its up to peers and employers when the man keeps getting employed. its evidence that the community needs to be even more vocal that he is unwelcome in it, not less vocal. if we were vocal enough, they would not end up employing him in the first place

Given how Jim Cornette uses "dickless" as an insult, much like he uses dogwhistle accusations of being gay and being a paedophile as insults. Does he use "cuck" to insult people he doesn't like? Because given what has come out about him and his wife in OVW, that would be rich.

Chris and Kenny Bolin did a stream where they told Cornette stories. Lots of racism talk (Cornette is convinced Muslims are filthy and had no combat when they told him the prayer requirements leads to Muslims being cleaner than most other religions) and talk of how if you can get Cornette off script he gets completely lost. But relevant for the topic of the weekend Cornette and others were at a Cheddars one of the OVW trainees managed (and other wrestlers worked at) and used the opportunity to harass an 18 year old hostess and try to get her to come home with them.

Fun story on the Bolin podcast: When Cornette and Heenan filmed the ROH shoot in Cornette's house (they told stories about all the memorabilia he has up) they had a BBQ for his friends that day. Cornette told Kenny he couldn't invite his son Chris because Chris was friends with Russo. Heenan had been told Kenny's son really wanted to meet him and asked where he was. Kenny told him Jim didn't want him to come, but Heenan demanded he call his son and have him drive over.

There's at least one video on youtube of Cornette loudly saying in an interview that he blames Russo in part for Owen Hart's death, and even considering Russo is no saint himself, that's pretty hosed up.

Russo and McMahon deliberately booked Owen Hart into an angle designed to humiliate him and misuse his talents They then booked him into doing a dangerous stunt he didn’t want to do Russo absolutely bears some responsibility for Owen’s death

He's not named once in Martha's book. The larger negligence, absolutely. But everyone at management and creative in that company at the time shares some degree of blame for what happened.

As for Cornette: Since I wasn't getting a good answer to the main question I had, I listened to his side of the allegations. And...he only denies explicit quid pro quo arrangements. He never addresses whether or not he or his wife ever propositioned anyone who he had power over as OVW booker or owner Huh.
