To be fair to STD, he didn't state that was his reason; that's just another guy who doesn't like Kenny Omega. And to be honest there are legitimate reasons not to like him. The way he's ironically played a professional wrestler for years makes him annoying. It's that class clown sense of humor that just grates on you if you're not into that sort of thing. I don't find stuff like The Young Bucks hitting 8,000 superkicks a match interesting (I honestly find them boring as fuck) and Omega just turned me off seconds into his most recent appearance by mugging like an idiot. That doesn't mean you hate all things that aren't WWE.

Now, STD might very well hate all things that aren't WWE, I can't really speak for him, but citing a wrestling authority to back up an opinion isn't necessarily an appeal to authority.

Kyle O'Reilly turned down his ROH contract. I don't think I posted it here, but I made the prediction that he'd jump to WWE. They seem to be in hiring mode and they seem to want to sprout up even more content. O'Reilly will fit somewhere. I think he's a less charismatic Daniel Bryan, but we'll see if the WWE production machine turns him into something interesting. I predict Adam Cole will hold the ROH World Title until April, when his dates with ROH dry up, and then he drops the belt to Jay Lethal.

WWE also signed Heidi Lovelace, Kimber Lee, Andrea (trained by The Dudleys) and Julia Ho (a model with MMA experience). Wouldn't be surprised if they are eventually presented as counterparts to the Four Horsewomen for some sort of 4 vs. 4 feud.

That's fine, my comment was more about how STD has a really harsh opinion on pretty much anything that isn't WWE.

SUZUKIGUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty sure there's people on this board that would perform fellatio on Jim Cornette if he asked them to.

Except new japans popularity has increased ten fold over the past few years.

Fuck Jim "Out of touch" Cornette

Nikki wants to have a kid with Cena, but he probably always pulls out at two.

Just on January 4th, NJPWWorld gained 10,000 new subscribers with 55% of them being from North America.

I'd take them both. I'm hardcore.

STILL SPACE MOUNTAIN!!

Nikki has that "I'm into anal" vibe to her. Or at least, like, she'd pretend to be into anal if it was a guy she was really desperate/interested in being with.

hm, which of the bella twins has fake tits?

is that scott norton?

Yes.

for some reason i thought he was dead.

What exactly is Jim Cornette out of touch about? I love conversations like this, because it always involves a lot of ad hominem. The only way he is antiquated is that he uses his anger as a teaching tool. Still created more stars than NXT has in about the same amount of time. If the dude spoke in a calm manner and watched everybody's feelings, I swear to god everybody would be like "Oh, you know what, that's 100% correct."

People don't like Jim Cornette and thus don't like his views, not vice versa. Generally speaking, of course.

Is that recent? Fucking hell he looks like he can still go.

Yeah, was in the Rumble at Wrestle Kingdom yesterday and had a tag match at New Year Dash today.

His view on wrestling is in the 80s he acts like marks can't get on twitter and tell that these characters are not real.

@Rammsteinmad

looks like WK 11 from this week based on the set design

Shame they had to tone down the crowd because his regular theme couldn't be played since they popped the hardest for his appearance during the match.

Then again a lot better than a few years ago when NJPW would just mute everything till wrestlers with licensed themes entered the ring.

No it's not. Not in terms of logic and psychology. Maybe because he would actually try and book things instead of scripting inane back-and-forth "episodic" nonsense. I mean, can you point to an actual belief Cornette holds that would be anachronistic in today's wrestling? The one thing working on RAW is Braun Strowman, and that's something Cornette has been calling for for years.

I actually don't understand your second point. Cornette acts like marks can't get on Twitter and tell that these characters are not real? He points out that marks are on Twitter acting like goofs all the time. He seems to be taken more seriously by fans of, say, Kevin Owens and The Young Bucks than he takes them.

It's today's generation that seem to have more trouble with Twitter and telling apart what is real and what is fake. Will Ospreay with Vader is a perfect example. The Revival trying to work and drumming up heat for themselves is another. Find me a wrestler that tries to have a gimmick on Twitter. I think even Bray Wyatt has given up at this point.

Twitter could be a place for wrestlers to prove that they actually at least understand promo content. You obviously can't get inflection and tone as over with a post like that, but who actually tries to promo with their Twitter account? Such a missed opportunity.

Do people forget how Cornette practically ran roh into the ground?

Cornette is smart but so very past it.

Hell, Vader used Twitter to book himself a sizable payday. In 2016. 20 years past his prime.

If anything, he should be teaching workers how to use Twitter properly.

Broken Matt Hardy.

Feel like "every female employee" of the WWE has taken a selfie holding this "Activate" pouch of whatever it is

In addition to the first rumored 2017 HOFer



the second member of the class is expected to be

Is this video good or awful?
