This clip remains every bit as awkward as it was when it happened. Other than Triple H, nobody was told if they were getting drafted because they wanted authentic reactions. And that includes the announcers.
So here is JR essentially getting demoted on live TV and being unable to hide being incredibly pissed about it. And really, who can blame him? This also means that Michael Cole has been the lead voice of WWE for 15 years now.

That was pretty harsh. I remember J.R. and King were getting very dull by then. Poor Cole thought he was getting fired for a few seconds.

Given the state of promos and personalities these days, k-mart rock is more entertaining than most of whats out there.

It's nice to see him so enthusiastic out there...I'll say that. I'd seen some of his stuff in NWA and it was alright--but he seemed to not love what he was doing.

And again, I'll reiterate I have no issue with stealing a gimmick. That's a time-honoured tradition in entertainment in general. But if you're going to steal something, make it better.

Some guy has been uploading all the WCW Thunders in chronological order the past few weeks. Doing the Lords work. He's also uploaded every 1986 and most of 1987 episodes of Prime Time Wrestling. So great.

Realistically, I think he’s running out of options.

Thought he was excellent in NWA. His confident delivery lent itself well to that old school “over-the-top, but still grounded in reality” setting.

Jim Cornette is quick as a whip. He’s right about almost everything wrestling related. It’s funny how nuts he drives Dave Meltzer and The Elite.

Over the past few years I've veered more onto the "progressive" side of things and some things Cornette says drive me nuts. Just like, "duuuuuuuude, no...."
But I still love him and honestly think his heart is in the right place. Plus, yeah, he's right about a lot of shit. Some of his personal creative decisions were...interesting. But he grasps the meat and potatoes of good wrestling and I love listening to him talk history. |

I’m also trying to be on the progressive side of things. I get what you mean. Totally fair assessment of him. A lot of what is said about him are total lies, projections, etc. But there is the occasional “dude, no” like you said.
I agree he sounds like he means well. |

You’d think given his health, watching Hell in a Cell would be kind of triggering for Foley.

Shit like that Tiger Driver makes me feel a bit gross. I don’t like Kenny Omega, but I don’t want the idiot to be paralyzed. It actually takes me out of matches rather than make me invest in them. I’ll respect workers who do more with less too.

I don't know why but the setup/delivery of that was leading me to think that it was going to be some sort of fictional ailment by a pair of heels trying to drum up phony sympathy
