During a Twitch stream, Kenny basically said that he comes from a hockey locker room mindset and that he thinks that “sometimes fighting is the answer” and that if it were him, he would have just fought it out with Punk. This was JUST carny enough of a “diz biznezz” statement that he’s endeared himself to the Cornette stans and there’s a lot of “huh, maybe Omega isn’t as bad as we thought” going on lately. There's something so blatant and so unbelievably telling about that type of person going "Oh wait if he's willing to fight maybe he's not [flood of homophobic slurs] like we thought" about Kenny. Like that's all worse, actually.

Okay the fact the bots are f***ing following Shadowy Evil Man Chris Legentil makes this just unreal. That's the kind of vanity shit that should get you fired just for being embarrassing. Never have your botnet follow your personal twitter account as the PR guy that's just clown moves.
Feels like a matter of time until we see someone like Bischoff creating burner accounts in order to push his podcast and after being offered cheese lol

Like that's all worse, actually. Friendly reminder we had that slew of posters in the "BUCKS RELEASE FOOTAGE" thread in the fallout that really, really wanted to make sure we knew "Violence is always the answer", "If it were me I'd have kicked Jack Perry's ass too", and such wonderful healthy rhetoric like "Haha Jack's a little bitch he got his ass kicked!" So... yeah sadly we've even been unfortunately forced to deal with this shit...

I wish there were sunglasses ala They Live that I could wear that could point out the Cornette/anti-AEW fanatics in the world so that I can know to cross the street whenever they approach me so I can avoid interacting with them in any way. Bro had zero retort when I said if Cornette knows what he's talking about why has every promotion he has ever booked done bad business? I think you sort of create a few issues by asking that question in support of a position that equates to knowledge about wrestling equals good business. By that logic, Vince McMahon knows the most and is undeniably the greatest booker/promoter, etc in professional wrestling history with no other person even in the discussion. If you throw in critical acclaim to counter business success being the sole barometer of greatness, then Corny is right back in the conversation since his promotions were often regarded, much the same as AEW has been for the past several years, as incredibly well-booked with great in-ring action. You could probably also ask if a lot of legendary promoters/bookers from wrestling's history knew what they were talking about since practically everyone save for Vince has also failed when it comes down to it. I think the question would make as much sense if you pondered, "What did Verne Gagne know about wrestling? His promotion went out of business."

In Kenny's defense, I absolutely get what he's trying to say with the "hockey locker room mindset". Especially when you're talking about a sports team, or a wrestling locker room, or even a group of dude friends, sometimes the best way to get past an issue is throw hands, get it out of your system, dust each other off and go out for beers together. It's stupid, it's immature, but oftentimes 2 guys not throwing hands leads to bigger issues and tension and problems later when a 60 second dustup would've gotten it out of their system. And I'm not saying don't punish the guys for the scrap, but sometimes the best thing for locker room harmony is just take a step back and let them throw a few punches. Also I'm referring to heat of the moment, tempers and emotions flare situation, not a revenge walking into the dressing room and sucker punching someone with a roll of quarters for something that happened a few weeks earlier situation.

I definitely don't hold anything Kenny said against him, especially considering his overall point at the time was that he doesn't really feel like he's cut out for a leadership or management position because he's got such a "sports locker room" mindset. I just 100% agree with Mothman's assessment that it reflects very negatively on the general mindset of a lot of Cornette fans that, previously, hurled homophobic slurs at Kenny constantly that him saying that he's not opposed to just kicking someone's ass to settle a dispute led to them completely changing their opinion him because he's now "proved that he's a real man" or whatever.

Yeah, I only even made my first post to clarify that Cornette's change of tune on Kenny is very much not because of sympathy for his medical condition. The Jimcels* don't deserve that much credit. *I don't want to get myself banned for using "tribalistic language," so I want to qualify that I am only using that term in the context of this conversation to generally refer to a certain segment of Cornette's fanbase which, as far as I know, does not post here and tends to be extreme in the use of homophobic, misogynistic, and racist rhetoric towards wrestlers they do not like.

Nash's podcast would be incredibly entertaining if he'd just tell stories and give funny commentary on things but no he has to go into full on stan for my friends and get clicks from the mob mode all the time. I agree, I'll fess up to listening to it relatively frequently. I also listen to the Drive-Thru occasionally (although less so now that I feel like Cornette has gone to the well of misogyny, racism, and transphobia one too many times...don't care if it's a schtick, I can't support it). I don't really like feeling like I'm in an echo chamber about anything, professional wrestling included. It's genuinely reprehensible to the point of being pathetic the extent to which Cornette has leaned into his worst tendencies in the name of podcast clicks. I don't think he even really needed to do it. Oldheads were always gonna listen to the guy. His latest one is kinda sad as he's back to the whole "AEW guys have bad bodies, WWE guys have good bodies" it however did lead to Shane Taylor basically saying he'd beat Nash's ass though.

And that isn't a value judgement, I don't think toughness is inherently good. But the thought of someone who has worked in Japan, where the top guys get chopped in the head until they get a haemorrhage and still sometimes make a comeback, being considered a wuss until they confirm they are willing to fight their Co workers, is some of the stupidest logic I have ever seen. You can't really justifiably call almost any wrestler *not* tough if they have done any training at all. Or even run the goddamn ropes!

Those people have a weird fantasy where The Young Bucks travel back in time and get assaulted by the Road Warriors in the locker room. Of course the Rocketrs, who inspired the Young Bucks, shared a locker room with the Road Warriors without incident. Young HBK was every bad thing they say about the Young Bucks but worse.

Also Punk is a perfect example, absolutely shit at real fighting as we've seen, but clearly tough as anything given the many injuries he's had and fought through
