Great point I had forgotten about that

He was kidnapped and murdered by a body double who would love that same match if somebody suggested it in AEW.

[@NexebNoXV]

"Couldn't whip cream with an outboard motor" is definitely my new favorite Corny-ism

[@NexebNoXV]

I don't mind "flippy shit" or (most) comedy wrestling, (I didn't mind the lollipop thing) but fuck the Joey Ryan dick suplex. Just fuck that spot. I hate it. Also I think putting a comedy wrestler like Joey Ryan in the ring with a genuine guy is fucking stupid. Joey Ryan vs. a guy like Colt Cabana or Grado is fine (hell, I'd watch either of those matches right now), but putting him against Primate and having the match be anything short of a literal mauling is fucking childish. That said, I've heard interviews with him and it seems like he actually does have respect for the business and could become a legit wrestler if he cared to put the time in, so the fact that he chooses to do this stupid gimmick is baffling.

Cornette is on point here. Good stuff.

[@megsley]

this might be the most complimentary corny was ever to Omega and the Bucks 😂

[@wkmac2]

I just went and searched Joey Ryan and this "manly parts" toss as up till now never heard of or for that matter seen it. If that is what passes as wrestling today, glad I stopped watching wrestling around 1990'. But then this "manly parts" toss makes the silly crap sold as wrestling in 1990 seem like the best of the best of classic wrestling. I was willing to accept that Corney's claim that wrestling is dead could be subjective but now I think Corney is being very objective in his proclamations.

[@fuscinula]

Well, Meltzer invented a 6 star rating for the sole purpose of showcasing Omega even harder...

[@michaelriley8879]

Baron Corbin is more over than Omega

[@emilianosanabria836]

[@astuteandy]

​@@emilianosanabria836 You are mistaken.

[@Booth81]

I think Jim should check out NXT UK sometime. There's a lot less of the flippy stuff (compared to other shows), more emphasis on impact and realism, and the crowd's way more into the matches. Oh, and Walter, of course. I've never been 100% on board the hype train for Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks, and I have to be in a special mood to sit through a whole NJPW show. It's not that I don't like it, it's just a lot to take in through one sitting.

[@junegiovanni6475]

I agree, also NXT & NXTUK they have actual wrestling, they tell stories in the ring and they do in ring Physiology, and they sell. It's okay to have highspots but like 10 in one match...Just 3 is okay that goes with the match...not spot fest. Nxt and NXTuk are legit great wrestling, it has everything, techical wrestling, amature wrestling, Strong style, realism.

Bottom line, no wrestler is above the business. There is a place for comedy wrestling, but you cannot portray yourself as a comedy wrestler one day and then as a serious wrestler the next. That being said, the wrestling business is already exposed. That cat is out of the bag.

[@jbellflower83]

I may not agree with everything cornette says (though I usually do agree) but I do see what he means about stuff looking too choreographed. Alot of wrestling today looks too choreographed. I watch alot of old school wrestling. Today's wrestling flows better and is aesthetically pleasing but it doesn't have that old school grit that wrestling used to have. When u watched Terry funk and stan Hanson and big van Vader they looked like they were trying to kill you. I like guys today like Daniel bryan and Pete Dunn. I even like omega though he is a little overrated. Okada is the real star of those matches. Okada can slow it down and draw it out. Kenny sometimes goes into hyper mode when he doesn't need too. Osprey does it too sometimes. I just miss wrestlers like the funks, Harley race and dusty Rhodes. Larger then life personas. Wrestling doesn't have that right now outside of okada.

[@mavallor]

Joey Ryan “Superheroes aren’t real” Yeah and I guarantee if Hollywood writers made Batman or Ironman do something insanely stupid the fans outrage would be immense so that’s a terrible example

[@Carelock]

Meltzer went nuts bc it’s how he makes a living. He has to prop up these shitty outlaw promotions to have fodder for his newsletter. Pretty much everyone I know who is still a fan watches WWE, TNA, Lucha Undrground, the new NWA, etc and just complains how it sucks. Classic wrestling is pretty much all I watch. Fucking invisible hand grenades. 3 Stooges antics. I can’t watch that shit either.

[@KutuluMike]

Jim has a point, to an extent, with some of the blatant stupidity that happens on indie wrestling; Joey Ryan's spots are embarassing, and some of the comedy stuff that PWG puts into their otherwise "legit" matchs is way over the top. But, Jim also acts like it's impossible to have an intentionally "fake" wrestling match. Kenny Omega "wrestling" a girl isn't destroying the wrestling business any more than the Harlem Globetrotters destroyed basketball, or martial arts exhibitions destroy MMA. When everyone involved goes into the match openly acknowledging that you're about to watch an *exhibition*, where Omega is going to put on a show match vs. a girl or a doll not because he wants to pretend he's fighting a girl, but because he wants to show off his (and her) skills, I don't see why that's a problem.

[@jameslott4606]

tell um jim...i dont like kenny omega either..............especially after the blow up doll and the little children which is depravedif i was jim i might be saying maybe i better start picking my friends a little bit more closely

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

To "not understand" why people like the Ultimate Warrior is pretty stupid. He was entertaining. He was fun to watch. He brought a ton of energy. Just to name a few. If you were a kid then that was what wrestling was about. That's why people were fans of him.

[@melbias5046]

meltzer roles with it because if he doesnt he's out of a job, thats why he's moaning.

[@StarCityAudits]

So relieved to hear Cornette not walking anything backwards despite his respect for Meltzer. With that being said, it is my opinion that has so much love for Meltzer because Corny was one of Meltzer's sources through the years and therefore can't very well bury Meltzer because it would make Corny look like a goof if it were to ever be confirmed that he was a source. I also think Bruce Prichard was/is one of Meltzer's sources.

[@85nxplosion]

Fast forward a couple of years and Meltzer and Cornette had a falling out because Meltzer is too infatuated over the Elite, the piece of shit known as Kenny Olivier, and think their style of wrestling is the greatest thing known to all that is man 🤦‍♂️.

[@thecatwrangler9448]

Well well well, look how the turn tables have turntabled. Do you still think Cornette is trying to protect himself or something?

[@pikkon899]

Only the smarks care about what he has to say. Meltzer comes off like such an asshole, know it all on most of his publications. Meltzer defends the stupidity of the Kenny Omega character but he crapped all over The Undertaker vs Underfaker angle for the same kind of stupidity.

Didn't know what the invisible grenade was. Googled it and watched one. It is probably the dumbest thing that I've ever seen in wrestling entertainment. The one finger death poke was even more entertaining than that. Why would fans tolerate that BS? So stupid.

[@junegiovanni6475]

Jim Cornette would be a NXT and NXTUK and NWA guy, he would enjoy that kind of wrestling, they tell actual stories in the ring and use in ring Phyisology, and they do what is missing today in pro wrestling they sell, they have everything great storytelling, Technical wrestling, amature wrestling, strong style, some MMA influences, and great promos, and some Highspots. They don't over do it with the spot fests....they do it only twice or 3 times in one night.

[@StephanFitzgeraldTay]

Doing that slaps it in everyone's faces that pro-wrestling is choreographed. That's Jim's issue. It continues to prevent the suspension of disbelief.

Cornette is the most intelligent man in wrestling. Reluctant, old-fashioned, set in his ways but understands the fundamentals of the business better than anyone else. Dave Meltzer is a fucking mark. Brilliant in how he figured out a way to make living talking about something scripted but his opinion shouldn't matter anymore than the local newstand guy or the kid with only one testicle from a few comments below.

[@RenegadeY]

wmfthehorseman dave never said his opinion mattered more than anyone else's, and he certainly didn't say that someone should be fired or banned from the business cause he did a spot he didn't like

[@wmfthehorseman]

"He" doesn't have to say it, the amount of marks that swear by his "rating system" already elevate his opinion above most people's.

[@RenegadeY]

wmfthehorseman so because people like his opinion it's valued more

[@d.carpenter7519]

It doesn't matter what Meltzer said about the value of his opinion. And if you think this is about SPOTS someone doesn't like, I suggest taking your head out of your keister so that you can hear better. It isn't about spots he doesn't like. It is about spots that EXPOSE THE BUSINESS i.e. stupid crap that kills the suspension of disbelief that it is combat and not two guys working together.

What was the issue with Dynamite vs Tiger?

[@Matt-cr4vv]

I don’t like todays style and thus I don’t watch it. It doesn’t really bother me to expose the business or what not just because to me I think it’s pretty clear that people know what wrestling is now. That said I agree that a believable product is better to watch than what the modern guys do now but I guess I just gave up on being a fan who follows the product regularly again unfortunately. It seems wrestling as a whole has passed me by for the most part and that kinda stinks. But I don’t think the Bucks or Kenny were ever the same level of embarrassing as Joey Ryan was. The Bucks and Kenny were always more so just not my style over making me ashamed of wrestling I guess. Joey Ryan on the other hand I just never understood. For the Bucks or Kenny even if they weren’t my taste I could at least see why others may like what they do and move past it. Joey is one I can’t understand why someone could ever be a fan of. Sadly I kinda get why he did what he did because it was a way to get to a position to make some money in the ancillary of wrestling doing his goofy thing and if my choice was struggle to survive or make a comfortable living I can’t confidently say I wouldn’t do something like that too. But we now know he crashed hard and likely will never wrestle at any level to make a living again after the accusations and how big of a douche he was about handling them to boot. At least the Bucks or Kenny seem like ok people who just aren’t my style whereas Joey was clearly a prick and deserves what happened to him.

To be fair Michael Richards only went on that tirade AFTER the asshole he was screaming the n word at had been HECKLING him throughout the show and had been asked to stop multiple times. The thing is if you're at a public event like a concert wrestling match or comedy show and you're actively trying to be a trouble making sack of shit by throwing shit at the stage heckling the comedian or trying to get on the ramp or in the ring you absolutely deserve whatever happens to you weather it means other fans/security beating the fuck out of you or getting called obscene names because its your own fault that it happened.

People growing up in the 80's and 90's trash today's metal, Old school NBA fans trash today's NBA, old hip hop heads trash today's music. Same goes for today's wrestling. This all stems from people that like to think the older stuff is better, but things change, those that don't like it start to bash others that like it. I find that highly annoying. Yeah I like 2002 WWE, however things are different now and I like it. Same with music or sports.

[@paulmiller7838]

I grew up in the 80's and 90's and music then was superior to today. However there is still good metal coming out so that's the one genera which you should not have chosen for your comment. However, facts are simply this. Some things improve over time. Some things degrade over time. To just assume things are bad now because they aren't the same is just as wrong as to assume that things are better now because they are different. And some changes are definitely NOT for the better (Music I'm looking at you).

I like Jimmy but anyone who uses a ether spot in the 2010's in a promotion like Ring Of Honor and expects fans to buy it is seriously behind the times. What worked in 1970's Tennessee (which had its share of business exposing garbage) won't work with an audience in 2017.

Kenny omega is disqualified, lmfao.

[@TheTribalgame]

the organization made kenny do that. he didn't do that on his own. why isn't he burying the company?

Meltzer on next week good to know i wont have to listen. Dave takes 10mins to say 1 sentence

[@chazatlas]

I miss the 80s as well. I had never heard of or seen Joey Ryan, Kenny Omega, etc. I looked them up subsequently and that's not pro-wrestling. That's Pajama Boy Promotions.

[@nothachimanhikigaya9921]

chazatlas I can see your point with Joey but omega has not done comedy crap since about 2011-2012

[@RenegadeY]

chazatlas im sorry youve been left behind

[@ricosalvaje8131]

chazatlas omega is a great athelete but he is way too dramatic and his facials are weird. Plus he doesnt sell too much.

[@mrbadguysan]

Not Hachiman Hikigaya bullshit, Omega was Princess Jasmine, in ring, for Halloween.

[@zombified8147]

chazatlas Omega can go. Ignorant shits like you just yes man your boy Corny.

Cornette Classic

[@christophermarang.3569]

Can we STOP talking about Kenny Omega and the blow up doll and little girl matches when they were joke matches for a promotion without a television deal... god damn has cornette seen 70-80's wrestling? half that shit was redundant.

[@SigmaPiShawn]

Its one of the reasons I don't care for him, so its not just cornette.

[@RenegadeY]

shawn pfeiffer thats a stupid reason no matter how many people agree with it

[@stevebrewster5341]

[@Volrath2242]
