Jim Cornette on A Dumb Tweet About Chris Benoit

[@InsignificantNick]

She's now apologized and went live on ig with David Benoit. It was a mess she brought upon herself. People weren't defending Benoit's last 3 days, they were defending his wrestling. Also, the people saying Angle couldn't hang today are dumb af. Two of the best technical wrestlers of all time couldn't hang today? Good lord.

[@Doc_Jello]

The only people that thing Benoit couldn't hang today are people who watch wrestling for gymnastics like the stupid ass flips that the Young Bucks do where they aren't even trying to do a move.

[@MaxxCoyote]

And the main crutch, he couldn't hang because he wouldn't be able to remember the match. Which shows just how fucking far "workers" have fallen if an active wrestler somehow doesn't know that people of Benoit/Angle's generation, and every generation before them, could, and did, call the fucking match in the ring. That honestly boggled my mind. "They couldn't hang because they could never remember the 45 page script we wrote up!" They wouldn't have to, and they'd make up something better as they went. Fuck me.

[@hahajones]

An Olympic gold medal winner at heavyweight, who won the gold with a broken freaking neck, couldn’t hang with today’s ballerinas? What kind of numb shite said that? Angle was one of the fastest learning and most versatile professional wrestlers of all time. He came out of the attitude era, held every belt, became champion multiple times and did so surrounded by Austin, The Rock, Jericho, Foley, Taker, Michaels and HHH, to name a few. He’s a bonafide bad ass, a legit shooter, with a stellar reputation who put on some of the best main event matches over two decades in multiple promotions…Some people…

You hear about old people married for decades snapping and doing unthinkable things they arent aware theyre doing or have any memory of doing to their long term partners.

Benoit was the closest thing I had to a hero. He was my favourite wrestler, he was involved in my favourite match (vs Angle at Royal Rumble 2003) no one worked harder in the ring, he never had off nights and always gave his best, and no one was a classier act outside of the ring. I admired these qualities. I've watched almost nothing of him since, I'm sure I don't need to explain why, but I'd say there's nothing wrong with enjoying or learning the craft from Benoit matches or seeing an example to follow in his actions prior to his murders. Especially when the Benoit you'll be looking at hadn't done anything wrong yet. Bad actions don't invalidate good ones.

[@williamroper5422]

I still watch his matches. I haven't gone out of my way to specifically watch him, but I have been working my way through the main shows and PPVs from WCW and WWF in the late 90s. When a Benoit match is on the card I don't skip ahead. I watch the whole show as it happened.

Other than that all discourse on Benoit should be limited, and only used in special situations and not even to talk about his in ring work per say but to really address mental health issues, CTE, and so on and so forth to prevent these types of situations from happening as often as they do.

She said all what she said and then when people started to disagree with her she came with the 'I just can't separate the person from the wrestling' okay cool then don't bring up the wrestling part then.

Jord actually got a double win because she got the intial shock audience and she gets to play good cop now that she is donating and making nice with benoit's son as she gets to pretend to be educated and humble now while also getting a shield from the crazies that are coming at her still frothing at the mouth because it's not exactly a good look to viciously defend a murderer. Say what you want about her, but she clearly knows how to play the social media game. You can't really knock her on her ring work as well because she is one of the better women wrestlers as far as american talent goes. You can't even really call her fat anymore out of anger because her stomach is almost non existent at this point as she has just really leaned into that power lifter type body aka huge thighs/arms that while are thicc are mostly made of muscle, maybe call her short, but short or not she always looks big as she effortlessly throws other people around the ring. Not everything stupid said needs a reaction, literally 90% of what comes out of people's mouth is stupid and maybe at most 5% of that if even that needs an actual reaction to. Just accept some simple truths about certain situations and move on with your day like a normal functioning person. Benoit was a great wrestler, but a horrible human being, you can try to use his injuries and brain damage as an excuse, but most likely all horrible people in history had head problems too, at the end of the day we are what we do, he did what he did, so just separate the art from the person and move on, great worker, horrible human, cut and dry. Grace is a talented wrestler and one of countless social media whores who knows how to rile up morons into giving her free publicity, maybe it's a classless thing to do, but in world that seems to value ethics less and less everyday can you really blame her for playing the social media game in the manner that clearly works for every other person with no shame. If you really wanted to stick it to her for these comments or any other comments, you simply wouldn't respond in any manner to her cries for attention. While she is a good wrestler, she wrestlers for a company that doesn't even exist on most people's radar, so if you want her to suffer, just ignore her and move on, literally nothing would hurt her more in this type of situation, same for any other wrestler who tweets out a random hot take for attention.

Any publicity is good publicity, simplest rule of all media, it is better to be talked about even hated by a mass group of people than loved and treasured by a small group of people and virtually unknown to everyone else. It is literally the opposite of what you want in your personal private life, in your public life you want your name known and said often period. Again this works for all sorts of people, trump literally became president this way. No one watches impact anymore outside of a small die hard crowd, thus no one talks too much about grace due to that, but for the moment everyone and their mother can't shut up about her because of something she said. So every time you bring her up in a conversation, every time someone makes a video about her, you're literally giving her free advertisement. Because regardless of whatever criticism you may have for her actions or words, there are going to be random normal people who don't follow her or even know her, but after hearing and reading about her, will look her up and see who the hell this women is. When they do that all sorts of things will happen, some people will say ah and move on, some will jump in on the bashing now with a face to go with it, some people might be attracted to her physically and now have given her a new fan, some people may check out her ring work and realize she is actually a very good wrestler who often puts on entertaining matches which will also give her more fans. Now if you had just ignored her bait and not responded to her twitter shit post, it would have been forgotten about in a day and her fan base would have stayed small simply by people having no idea who she is. So again simply put, if you want to punish someone in the limelight, do not talk about them and ignore them and everything they say, nothing will hurt them more. No matter how good you feel you are at shit talking them back at the end of the day you are simply doing them a favor by keeping their name on everyone's mind.
