How did you get Santino is a P.O.S. from that when the only thing you can really hear in the video is Cornette yelling..... you don't know what Santino was doing or saying......

I don't really see Santino being a "piece of shit" in that video. To me, to be a "piece of shit" you would have to do something that a "piece of shit" would do. Like slapping someone for not doing what you wanted them to do. But that's just my opinion. |

Lol. You realise Cornette was fired from OVW for slapping Santino, right? Then all you can here is Cornette yelling about how he never respected him, then "I'm trying to walk away from a fight!!" Before walking towards Santino.

Cornette is great. He's emotionally fucked though.

Why is Santino a piece of shit? He remains very composed during that clip. A piece of shit surely would have slapped Cornette silly there.

If he just wanted to walk that way, probably best not to do it while pointing and beginning to say shit again. |

Lol, props to Cornette for not backing down from Santino. Obviously you miss the start, but you can kind of tell by Santino's body language that he is the one "confronting." He's angled himself to trap Corny against the wall. Santino sounds "calm," but he's clearly the "aggressor" in the situation.
My guess would be that Santino and Cornette were going to be in the same place and Santino thought "Hey, if I see Cornette I'm going to ask him why he keeps ripping me." He probably thought he could reason with him or intimidate him into being all "No, Santino, I love you, you're the best," to have a story or something. Santino probably wasn't going out of his way to be a piece of shit, but I bet that situation didn't go the way he wanted, and there's no way you can look good trying to physically intimidate an old fat white dude with only good leg, lol. But I guess Santino is broken himself. Isn't his neck held on by duct-tape at this point? When talking about the Cornette situation, Santino always sounds like a fucking idiot. Like, the dude is funny and I enjoyed moments of his career, but you hear Cornette's version of the story -- which is self-deprecating, throws shade at WWE management and makes Santino look like a moron. Then you hear Santino's story, and he's probably not as good at telling stories, but it's literally like "I could have whooped Cornette's ass if I wanted to," which has always been one of Cornette's points. He wasn't slapping Santino because he thought he could beat him in a real fight, lol. I dunno, when weighing up the Cornette vs. Santino issue, I've always sided with Cornette. I mean, I understand the liberal "Oh, you don't slap an employee!" stance. Yeah, Cornette shouldn't have done it. I don't believe in slapping someone I don't like. But I'm not in wrestling for a reason. In a wrestling context I think it makes complete sense, lol. And the boys clearly still rib Santino about it. Did anyone hear about Santino getting "called" by Jim Cornette and Santino being dumb enough to think that it was real? He responded to this "shoot" Cornette call and Corny was like "Why the fuck would I call you, you dumb worked motherfucker? How the fuck would I even get your phone number?" |

Don't know how reliable this is, but I'm reading a report that says that Santino approached Cornette, the two talked, they actually did shake hands, but then Santino demanded an apology and wouldn't let Cornette go until he did.
There sounds like there might be reality in that, because Cornette, despite not being the calmest individual lol, is very good at picking his spots and avoiding places that will have anyone who will make his blood boil. If Cornette and Santino were both advertised, I don't think Cornette would have gone if he "couldn't control himself" around Santino Marella. Unless Santino was a surprise guest, but then he woud have been yelling at whoever booked him too. |

I saw someone claiming to have shot the videos on YouTube who claimed that Santino called Cornette a "pussy" twice. I didn't think it was reliable, but I've since seen the name shared as the guy who sourced the videos. So, take that for what it's worth too.

Actually, the network is pretty much near or at record viewership and is bringing in tons of revenue for WWE, and they're basically handing out 3 months free offers as a way to celebrate.

Seems like Santino was being a fucking dweeb, and wrong in this scenario. But damn, Cornette slapped the fucking guy, should have apologized a long time ago no matter how right he thinks he is. He only has himself to blame for this kind of stuff.

So in 1987 the WWF brought in Missy Hyatt to host Missy's Manor which was supposed to replace Piper's Pit. They were so bad they didn't air, but Missy herself uploaded them.
My God are they ever awful lol |

Just like everyone falsely accused JBL of bullying, you all accused Cornette of being in the wrong. Now you all owe two apologies.

I pretty much could tell the scenario from the start, but it doesn't make it any less Cornette's fault. At some point you have to deal with your actions. As I said, he shoulda been the bigger man and apologized to Santino AGES ago, and this wouldn't have happened.

If I worked with Cornette I would piss him off on a daily basis.

It's probably to do with making the impact look better/more interesting/more painful.

They do it a lot in matches and I understand why there since a superman punch would probably look bad in slo-mo but in the clip above It would look a lot better if it was just all slow-mo
......did TDE edit that clip themselves? If so I guess I would ask them that but I know WWE does it a lot too. |

No, they showed it like that in the show. But yeah, it emphasises the impact when you see Shane fall at full speed. That's the idea anyway.

I guess, IMO it would be cooler to see how close they came to hitting each other.

I do get what you are a saying, and the slapping isn't cool, but it's not cool in a real world context. In a wrestling context it was what Santino deserved. I don't really feel sorry for him. Especially to see how he is acting now. Intimidating an old man who probably has Asperger's or something. It's so gross.

With 205 Live approaching its first birthday and having an uncertain future, I was wondering which guys would be in danger of being cut should the division fold.
I assume the three that came from the main roster in the first place - Neville, Kalisto, and Enzo would all be safe. Neville may be finished with the division anyway. Cedric Alexander, Akira Tozawa, and Rich Swann almost strike me as being too good to cut. Maybe a couple of them will end up in NXT for a bit but I'm not sure I see any of them receiving the boot. The Brian Kendrick has greatly mended the fences with WWE, and even if they decided they didn't have room for him on the main roster I'm quite certain he'll wind up in NXT as a trainer. Jack Gallagher has a unique gimmick that could be plugged in wherever, and I think they're keen to keep a Brit on the main roster. Drew Gulak's politician gimmick I think could play on either brand. He's a great mat-based wrestler as opposed to the flippy style of the other cruiserweights, so he could work good matches with guys out of the division. Supposedly they had him doing seminars in NXT before he was even signed so that tells me they value his presence. Tony Nese I think may find work as an enhancement guy just because he has a fantastic look, plus he's in more televised matches than anyone else in the division. So that leaves me with the rest. TJP, Gran Metalik, Noam Dar, Ariya Daivari, Mustafa Ali, Lince Dorado. They're the ones that I think may be in some trouble. Of they group TJP figures to be the safest, but they abandoned his initial push after a month and he's just kinda been "there". |
