Don't look for internal consistency in Jim Cornette, he's a carny. His beliefs are whatever the person paying him believes.

He absolutely does. Old school southern guys are all absolutely convinced they were working the crowds and that everyone believed it was 100% real.

Every wrestler is a novelty. Like, Kenny Omega when you get down to it is the video games v-trigger guy. Okada is the short pants rainmaker guy. Everyone in wrestling is some version of the I didn't do it kid.

He lives his entire life as a character. If there is a real Jim Cornette it's buried under 30 something years of the character Jim Cornette. He's obviously hosed in the head.

Hating Riho but being hugely positive about Britt seems like a good sign, along with piles of other evidence, that the only thing Cornette cares about is look. Riho didn't fit his dumb stereotypes about what a wrestler looks like but Britt does.

GCW's 4th of July backyard wrestling show is easily the show of the year. A dude accidently shot himself point blank in the face with a Roman candle. Twice. There were multiple trampoline spots. They had an above ground pool. Everyone worked as their backyard characters so Nick Gage came out as hardass Nick. An absolutely wasted Joey Janela got on commentary and talked about how awful Trump and America is. gently caress, now I want to watch it.

Yeah, considering her move set is a lot of stomping and rollups I think she also knows her strikes don't look impactful. A forearm at her size might not look good but a double foot stomp from the top rope always will.

So in the past month Cornette has told Jim Smallman to kill himself, that Justin Roberts is a pedo, said Omega was a pedo, and said this insanely racist poo poo.

Because his entire audience at this point is people who irrationally hate the same stuff. His podcasts entire audience is listening so that have someone who agrees with their dumb anger and rage. He's the fox news of wrestling. He's the TV you leave on for your dogs except for white guys who think the boys in the locker room are too soft these days.

Mal-3 posted:Wait, hang on a second. I have a question. Because they did their fake apology and he was still told he had to cool it. Not out of compassion or anything, just greed. Cornette considers himself an artist so he quit instead of having to not be racist for money. Edit: they also wanted him to put out a fake apology and he refused.

You should stop because that "good historical stuff" will still be coming from a horrible racist who has shown over the last few months that he has a very loose grip on reality these days. Also that's Jim being stuck in the past again. The Bucks look like the sort of guys who were considered a heart throb 40 or 50 years ago. Kinda. They're both pretty ugly.

Yeah, Cornette only views women's wrestling as something to titillate and is pissy AEW isn't using the type of women he wants to see and can't wrap his head around the idea that anyone would feature women for any reasons that's not their looks.

If I turn off the hyperbole I can agree that Jim sees some value in women's wrestling but that it is primarily a sideshow. And in this specific case it is obvious his own taste is what defines conventionally attractive because all of the Japanese women in AEW are conventionally attractive. So if he thinks they're not marketable and he thinks that being attractive is a requirement it's based on his own taste. And if he thinks they need to be conventionally attractive I feel like it means titillation is always one of the selling points to him even if it isn't the only one. I'm also kind of just avoiding unpacking his insistence that they're being pushed because Kenny is a pedophile because holy poo poo that's really gross what's wrong with him. It's just such a rats nest of lovely biases. Overall I think Cornette's opinions on women in wrestling is like any other idiot in media that primarily caters to men. He speaks like it is a fact that a women's title will never outdraw a men's title and that women will always have less interest in wrestling. But that current reality is only because the American wrestling industry is primarily built for men. There is nothing inherently gendered about wrestling. It's just catered to men for so long that it's become "fact" that only men will always be the main audience. The same thing happened in comics and video games. It's also ignorant of history considering the mainstream success has had in Japan in the past. He's just so incredibly ignorant.

Yeah, there are a bunch of reasons to legitimately not like the Bucks or Kenny and not being able to make honest complaints just shows how disingenuous they are. The Bucks really do only wrestle one match. Kenny is a huge drama queen and has some strong "looks at his dangerous hands" energy.

I read it more as another call out at what a hypocrite Jim is. Dude swings or whatever while also constantly insulting people for their sexuality or preferences. But yeah, it was also definitely meant to emasculate some and I can see where it comes off as slut shamey.
