[@davyjones2032]

@@billrusso6422 I think Riho is enjoyable as she is cute and can at least pull off the tough baby face role.... However, the Itoh chick is the definition of outlaw wrestler and the Ryo chick that fought Shida looked old, fat, and slow. They really had Excalibur try and explain their history like anyone gives a shit. The women's wrestlers don't have to look like Trish or be as good in the ring as Charlotte but they certainly shouldn't look like out of shape backyard wrestlers with zero communication or personality.

[@claycowartisamazing]

I think Cornette is just salty that he was never a wrestler. I know that balding plumber gets more pussy than cornette ever did. For sure there was never a point in cornette's life where he could actually beat up Moxley. It's cool to talk shit, but man.... sometimes it's clearly jealousy. The match was kinda cool... the ending was the sloppiest thing I've seen since WCW.

[@corylandolt3614]

@@claycowartisamazing Oh I definitely agree! I only listen to Cornette’s podcast for the science and psychology of professional wrestling. I would have to agree with what he says in those two areas. Now as far as his rants and political views go... well I laugh at his rants and completely ignore his political views. I personally believe that Moxley is a great wrestler and has the talent. I use to think the same for Omega, but not anymore ever since I watched his documentary film and saw the actual disrespect he has for wrestling.

[@claycowartisamazing]

@@corylandolt3614 Yeah, and I'm one of Cornette's biggest fans...PERIOD. Cornette seems to contradict himself in many areas without admitting it. I love Cornette and most of his RULES.... BUT...sometimes it's just hypocrisy and hatred in a kind of...autistic way. Meltzer and Cornette have high functioning autistic qualities. Cornette > Meltzer but..... Wrestlers are wrestling... Cornette was never ever capable of being a tough guy or a perceived pro-wrestling-tough.. ...guy. Some of the most intelligent people on the planet have Asperger syndrome... Corny is a special person and I love him, even though he would get slapped for saying half the shit he says.

[@ryanl.3586]

@PEPE EL MACHO I believe the hatred comes from the fact that Moxley doesn't "look" like a wrestler or sound like a wrestler (by Cornette standards).... But bruh, Moxley DOES look like some balding dude that would show up to your home to clear the septic tank.

@@mac_-mtlmcal ok, but they’re blending reality with storyline. Tony Kahn is speaking to a reporter as a shoot then all of a sudden deviates to kayfabe like we’re just supposed to accept it.

Instead of accepting his fuck up like a man, he’s pawning it off on a fictional character.

Yeh, but that's not what happened previously in Japan. Seriously, that's the only way Omega can book stuff. "I want to remake the Golden Lovers storyline", "I want to remake the Bullet Club / Elite storyline", "I want to remake the Montreal Screwjob", "I want to remake the Onita-Funk exploding match". Etc etc etc. When given full creative freedom, all Omega can do is pathetic recreations of things someone else came up with before. When he tries to actually book something original, we get AEW's women's division.

Well AEW is actually great for him.

He's getting wrestler and feud of the year awards putting in 1/4 effort of his former Shield brethren. He also doesn't even have to do promos. He's sitting prettier than the EVPs. Miro on the other hand... Also the match was good minus the run in and roman candle explosion.
