That's just it - when he's telling old stories, talking about some of his road trips, etc it's great and a lot of fun to listen to.
When he keeps pissing and moaning about a business that isn't to his tastes anymore, it's a bore to listen to. But unfortunately a large portion of his listeners like to hear him rail on the current stuff so he has to keep doing it. |

The only time I ever have to turn him off is when he gets into politics. I didn't turn on the Jim Cornette Wrestling Podcast for his opinion on the Supreme Court.

The wackiest stuff with Corny is that he's willing to scorch personal relationships because he doesn't like certain things. I'm pretty sure he's completely burned bridge with Chris Jericho over AEW, somebody who he knows and at one time had a pretty close personal relationship. That's where it gets batty. |

He spent years saying glowing things about MJF only to immediately retract all praise for him because he did a singing segment with Jericho.
Pretty sure he even said flat out he'd never praise a current wrestler again because they'll inevitably "whore themselves out." So straight up admitting he knows current wrestling isn't for him and he's not going to even try. Yet he complains about it weekly. Talk about the old days you have a passion for instead of spending big chunks of your podcast just taking down stuff that isn't geared towards you anymore. |

I've always thought it funny how many guys are like "I love Jim Cornette. I want to be his friend. He's just such an asshole."

Thats another thing. When he's like "I review AEW every week because that's what the fans want." Like it's this burden and he doesn't take any joy in shitting on modern wresting. Come on now. We know better, Jim.

I’m just tired of the discourse he creates now. Everytime time someone calls him out on his blatantly racist, homophobic, or transphobic shit there’s some crusty dude always willing to defend him.

it looks like he deleted the retweet but this was the one in question
And its not that anyone expects his nuanced takes. It's the fact that he's constantly saying shit like this and its clear most of his fanboys would rather ride his dick then not be shitty to oppressed people. Like he can't even do the bare minimum. And its frustrating that people either won't or choose not to see the problems it causes. |

That's a pretty tame tweet, honestly. I don't know. It's not like I don't see your point, I just don't get how he's any less mean to literally everybody else. I guess I don't see the "targeting" element. If you want to argue that he's a grumpy old man who's mouth constantly gets him in trouble then sure but I'm not getting the homophobic/transphobic angle. He's a lifelong Democrat who talks about the importance of equality all the time and regularly shits on Republicans for exclusionary legislation. Even if he's out of date with his speech, I don't see where the malice towards these groups is.

I'm pretty sure Cornette's main issue with Sonny Kiss was that she was presented with no backstory which is completely reasonable with a gimmick like that.

Are Sonny Kiss/Janela still a tag team? I thought they worked better as a tag team than individual wrestlers.

They show up from time to time on Dark but think the reason for their lack of matches in recent weeks was due to Janela getting hurt during his match against Omega earlier in the year and him being busy working for GCW. I wouldn't be surprised if Janela leaves AEW once his contract is up. Less due to his low status or lack of direction in the company and more due to him just enjoying working a lot more in a GCW style setting. |

I can say with 100% certainty that I've never been that fat before.
Sure I've gained a few pounds during this coronavirus pandemic but nowhere close to looking like a human sized meatball. Going by Cagematch's listing, that picture of Meatball was from his only appearance ever in TNA. |

Am I wrong or is everything happening in the Inner Circle ( Sammy quitting ), leading up to the IC turning on Jericho? I hope it is. I hope they beat the shit out of Jericho and put him out for 3 months and Jericho takes that time to get in shape and come back as the real Chris Jericho and not this fat piece of shit we've been treated to.

Every man and their dog expects MJF to take the Inner Circle. It will probably happen in a very similar fashion to the Festival of Friendship. It just doesn’t mean anything.

I've been feeling like Santana and Ortiz could peel off and split with IC and side with Sammy. I think that would be an interesting story but I'm not sure if I'm getting those vibes right now. There may be many chapters yet to come in the dissolvement of the Inner Circle. I can't imagine Jericho going it alone in the world of AEW.

Yeah the MJF and Sammy stuff this week has me thinking they’re in cahoots to get Jericho ousted.
Then MJF and Sammy could be all “there is no leader in our version of the IC!” even though both of them very clearly are trying to be in charge. |
