Cornette's problem with Omega's good work?

As if explaining it would make you understand somehow.

"... the only man I've ever known that can strap a bucket of fried chicken on his back and ride a motor scooter across Ethiopia."

Had he said Harlem it'd be very racist. But he picked a country known for starvation instead.

That's interesting bc he was fired from NWA due to racist comments made less than a year ago. That paired with his inability to form a proper apology when Mark Henry and others called him out for it and his past remarks which I don't need to quote I'd say it's safe to say he hasn't changed and never will. People can blame it on him being old or "being a work" or it being "how it was back then" but neither are excuses especially when you were caught making racist remarks but immediately shut his knobgobbler when a real man entered the room. What a coward. He should keep his cornfed hateful bs where it belongs, on the losing side.

That's my stance and I'm open to being educated on this if I'm wrong but I think his more vulgar past remarks really speak volumes about his passive racism today. It's one thing to be up front about how you feel, at least that's respectable to some degree.. It's the closeted ones who are the issue bc they're scared to come out in public but preach hate behind closed doors.

Either way it's probably a convo for the DMs at this point. I believe I've taken up too much space already with the side bar lol my fault guys.

On Topic: I think his problems with Omega come from him just being a fantastic and promoter/engineer of a different kind of wrestling. More sports tailored than shock and awe but to each his own in that retrospect. It's all good in my eyes when conveyed properly.

Cornette recently did some fantasy booking from a question who and how would he manage some guys today. He picked Jacob Fatu and Alex Hammerstone and man, the sample promos and concepts he came up with on the drop of a hat were better than most of what has been booked in the last decade. Cornette understands the history of the business, booking, psychology, and getting over better than most people today. Rare that I hear him give a take on some booking or psychological element, some little nuance that I don’t completely agree and go yeah that would have been so much better.

I always assumed Cornette’s hatred of Omega came from when they worked together. I remember something about Cornette accusing Omega of faking injuries so he wouldn’t have to work shows.

I’m not the biggest Omega fan, but I think he’s good. I’m not sure if it’s just the fact that I’m seeing him more often or if the workload is starting to take a toll, but I feel like he seems a little more tired in AEW.

As far as his comedy matches, I definitely think there’s room for it in wrestling. I see it as a variety show, and depending on where it’s placed on the card there’s room for absurd stuff. It helps keep the show fresh in my opinion.

Will just leave this here for now..

Jim Cornette is a racist, sexist misogynist scumbag. Look at what he said when Becky Lynch announced her pregnancy:



Look at what he said about Seth Rollins' fiance. Seth Rollins is a man he worked with, and was possibly a friend. He said that about another man's wife with no provocation.

His hatred for Kenny Omega is because Omega did some comedy wrestling years ago. Years ago, Omega wrestled a blow-up doll. He also did some matches where he wrestled little kids. So f'n what? Wrestling isn't always serious. Comedy wrestling exists and there's been ridiculous stuff in wrestling for years. Cornette f'n wrestled a ninja turtle once. He's a frelling hippocrit. You don't like comedy wrestling, fine. It's not your cup of tea, fine. But he's threatened to tar and feather Omega over it and threatened outright violence for the fact that Omega has done comedy wrestling in his career.

Here are more examples that the so-called Cult of Cornette will stick their heads in the sand about:

Done. You will still be in denial about the awful things he's said though. 

I get why people can't let go of Cornette. The dude was an icon and a part of wrestling history. He takes the business seriously and worships it. I get that people can respect and get behind that. I get that he's this old school of the old school carny marks for the business and there are probably people nostalgic for that era or who miss that style before wrestling was exposed. I can get all that.

But there's no excuse for some of the things he's said and being an unrepentant a-hole about it.

I guess what he said about Muslims is just "colorful language." Oh well.
