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."
|
lol his review of the women's Rumble he started the match halfway through because "come on, I can't sit through an hour long girls Rumble"
you don't have to review it at all, Jim. |
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.

I could make a list of grievances a mile long about corny and none of that would be on it.
|
He was retweeting intentionally shitty things against nonbinary people yesterday. and its not the first time either. and all the shit he said about Sonny Kiss.
|
Who is going to Jim Cornette for nuanced views on gender studies?
|
Did he delete the tweets because I’m going through his feed and I don’t see them
|
it looks like he deleted the retweet but this was the one in question
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/TheJimCornette?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TheJimCornette</a> If wrestling needs to be more real we need a tag team of non binary millennials called the Snowflakes who take a bump everytime someone opens their mouth</p>— Nick Withers (@Nickwithers1) <a href="https://twitter.com/Nickwithers1/status/1190360128492621824?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 1, 2019</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> 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.
|
I read the AEW results and Janela accompanied Kiss for her match last night
|
Quote:
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. |
Just your occasional reminder that AEW sucks. How many kidnappings did they do this week?
|
I mean I was held captive, but only as a viewer. Does that count?
|
No matter how much I wanted to look away, I couldn’t. Because it was so great.

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.
|
Quote:
|
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. |
But yeah I do see this eventually being a way to write Jericho off for a while, could see him taking a break after Double or Nothing in May.
He was meant to have last summer off to tour but the pandemic canceled everything, for better or worse live gigs are gonna start coming back this summer so I think Fozzy will be back on the road for a little while. |
I just hope Jericho doesn’t become the next wrestling tragedy.

Maki Itoh is my favorite AEW wrestler of all time!

I genuinely don’t mean it doom and gloom or to be an ass, but I’ve just got a weird feeling. Yeah, he seems to be having the time of his life, but that often masks deeper shit. And that physical decline he’s had with the schedule he keeps? That’s not good. And just because he’s having fun doesn’t mean his family is. It’s got to be potentially embarrassing to be Chris Jericho’s kids and see him sucking in his gut with women half his age, spreading Covid, claiming he could be in AC-DC, supporting Trump so vocally, and being mocked by people seeing him for the first time in years. I’m being serious. It’s a VERY public mid-life crisis. Sometimes the money you make doesn’t make up for that.
I’m worried that the guys in AEW are such fans of his that they won’t ask the questions. And guys with real addiction problems can get quite good at masking how well they’re operating. They can make it seem a part of their brilliance. |
I'm gonna guess Jericho and MJF win the tag titles, because that's the most interesting angle for the belts and division, and eventually Jericho starts to lose his mister and trust and that's when MJF and the IC give him the boot, only for Sammy to return and clean house.
|
Quote:
I think Sammy and MJF are in on it. The boot is coming a lot faster. The whole Sammy quitting thing is a sham and it's gonna end with everyone turning on Jericho. Then hopefully Jericho leaves for 3 months and gets himself in proper shape. |
Jericho taking a break is definitely needed.
|
Think its way more likely Jericho & MJF lose the tag title match than win the belts since this whole Inner Circle drama stuff is probably leading to the group disbanding instead of MJF taking over it.
Plus they don't really need the tag belts if the goal is to kick out Jericho. Them losing would speed up that process towards MJF becoming the new boss or the group splitting up. |
I don’t think it matters. We all know this is going towards MJF vs. Alcoholic Chris Jericho in some fashion. MJF will win and he’ll be exactly where he was was when he started. Only now he’s lost the “true heel” vibe he had before the awful singing segment.

Sammy Guevara is currently in the dog house in AEW regarding a recent an incident he caused backstage over their current creative plans for him.
AEW originally wanted him to go to Impact as part of his current Inner Circle departure storyline but he refused and caused a big enough scene that word of it reached Impact who told AEW they didn't want him showing up at their tapings place in Nashville. That led to AEW pulling the plans they had for him afterwards and him getting backstage heat over the big incident he caused. Quote:
|
It feels like it's been 20 years since someone refused to do what they were told. About time.
|
Sounds like he was going to do what he was told given that he arrived in Nashville for Impact tapings. But Impact didn't want to do the angle if it was someone salty about being there, and I don't blame them.
|
Quote:
Based on recent interviews from current and former Impact talent, the locker room there these days is very friendly and happy. All it takes is one grouchy person to start wrecking the cheerful mood over there. Already seen it with WWE recently where it just took 1 bad incident for the mood of their main roster locker room to sour very quickly. They went from being very happy during the Rumble to becoming very angry post-fiscal report based on reports. |
Without knowing his reasoning for not wanting to do the angle, the easy conclusion to jump to is that he feels like going to Impact is a downgrade. If so, not a great mindset to have considering the World champion has done an angle there.
|
Super confused at all of this.
|
Maybe he realizes Jericho is a fat lazy piece of shit and he doesnt like Jericho trying to send him off to Impact to work angles for Twitch followers.
|
I don't blame Sammy. If he wanted to go to Impact, he could have signed with Impact 2 years ago. Why should he have to if he doesn't want to, just because Kenny Omega is friends with Don Call is and Tony Khan wants to air stupid paid for by AEW ads?
|
Also... why is Tony Kahn upset over this thing with Sammy?
AEW worrying about ruining their relationship with Impact is like WWE worrying about ruining their relationship with... well... any company other than WWE. AEW holds all the power in this Impact relationship... really don't know what Impact even brings to the table here. |
Quote:
I agree. BTW I read on Twitter than Bryan Alvarez said Okada is coming to AEW. In with NJPW and out with Impact please. Their last ppv was headlined by formee WWE Cruiserweight Champion Rich Swann vs former WWE Hardcore Champion and 50 year old Tommy Dreamer FFS. |
Quote:
Doubt AEW was going to have Sammy be a jobber or low tier wrestler during his time in Impact but whatever was Sammy's issue doesn't seem like it was something that could easily be fixed with a quick tweak of plans. I wouldn't be surprised if AEW was also worried about this being a bad look on them with their current working relationship with NJPW. |
Quote:
But I'm also looking from a corp/business standpoint. This whole AEW/Impact crossover in general has been weird to me. I really don't get the benefit here... I mean if AEW wanted too, they could lure away almost any of Impact's talent, and their currently broadcast platforms are MUCH bigger than Impact's. This is what REALLY escapes me. I mean NJPW could be a reason, but imo a thin reason. This just feels like a giant bowing to an ant. |
Biggest benefit AEW can get with their Impact deal is mostly from Impact's Women's division since that's more notable names and stars that could help out AEW's struggling division.
Plus Impact acting like a minor league system of sorts for them in terms of AEW sending some of their younger and lesser used talent to get them more ring work and experience. AEW's lack of a touring system and a Performance Center-like place really limits how much their talent can improve under current situations. Its why AEW has been more open than WWE when it comes to allowing talent to take outside bookings. |
Quote:
|
While I get why Sammy would be upset since Impact is obvs a much lower league, clearly the move was being done to continue to feature him and build up his return back to AEW while letting him do something interesting and getting fresh match ups. I highly doubt he would've been treated as anything other than a big dealin Impact. I wonder if he just shot himself in the foot and ruined a huge push.
|
Imagine not pushing Sammy Guevera because he hurt Impacts feelings. Aside from maybe MJF, Sammy might have to most your superstar potential of anyone on the roster.
Maybe AEW is trying to position themselves to buy Impact and all there library. |
AEW and TNA total messes. It’s probably a work. It doesn’t make sense for it to be, but that’d be the point.
|
Turns out Sammy's incident wasn't caused behind the scenes in AEW but in Impact instead.
Same for AEW finding out afterwards what was happening and not the other way around with Impact. Quote:

Cracks starting to form. Why is Chris Jericho handling this sort of stuff? Just a fucking shit-show.

damn @ Sammy G heat

Tony Kahn been getting heat in the UK for His Fulham league. Apparently they have lost 12 in a row. Fans saying he's too occupied on his pro wrestling company, calling for a change. I don't follow football so I'm not really up on it. Seems worth noting though.

Quote:

"CrAcKs sTaRtInG tO fOrM" because Sammy had some ideas and Impact got mad? Lmao while Sammy should've just done what was planned, I highly doubt this'll do anything that would hurt his future or AEW.

Remember when the Dark Order first started becoming a cult in late 2019 and they had their JoinDarkOrder website with the mailing list?
Well they've implied several times on BTE over the last year that nobody has ever been checking the e-mails, including Hangman Page's application apparently being lost in the shuffle. Today on BTE they showed Alan Angels struggling to reply to thousands of e-mails and now they've blasted this out to everybody on the mailing list: Quote:

Ross mentioned a tweet he received saying his commentary from past Royal Rumbles had been taken out of a recent video package highlighting the match’s history. He said nobody should be surprised and it’s another reason why AEW is on WWE’s mind. “That shouldn’t surprise you,” Ross said. “It tells me they are aware of AEW very prominently even though they would not want to admit it. Triple H called us early on a ‘piss ant’ organization or something like that. This piss ant organization is beating NXT and we beat them soundly last week.” Yet another idiotic take from this stupid old man. Something Triple H said as a joke to his friend 2 years ago, and it is still on JR's mind. He thinks this makes AEW cool and edgy, but it is sad. Old man spends his entire time burying his former employer, but expects them to keep highlighting his commentary from 15 years ago? FYI, I just heard is voice in a recap video WWE did. So he is just lying so he can complain and bring up something from 2 years that butthurt him so bad he STILL isn't over it. Fuck Jim Ross. |
