You do realize, OVW when it was the WWE developmental territory actually made a profit, which NXT has never done, right? And no, I wouldn’t have slapped Santino, but if a student had f***ed up my TV show (and I couldn’t go back and fix it), I’d be pretty hot, so I can understand Jim’s frustration with him. Do you jhave numbers to compare? Because keep in mind Nxt just now has the TV Deal and its expenses before were much bigger.It included bringing new technology to be used main roster,a quality level production for something that receives no paymente for its airings and brand new training top of the art equipement for developmental and main roster. It accomplished much more than Ovw ever did The careers of John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Dave Bautista, and Randy Orton suggest otherwise.

Vince was out of touch by the late 90s and he's listed as best booker for three years in a row by these readers so not sure what this proves. A knock against Jim is that “he hasn’t been relevant in decades”. “He’s 30 years behind the times”. “He’s stuck in the 70’s and 80’s.” But he won awards as either a booker or a performer during years that he, according to revisionist history, was supposedly irrelevant. I'm not really sure Cornette winning booking awards 18 years ago and 26 years ago are good evidence that he's with it when it comes to modern wrestling though...

AEW should be more like SMW. Oh wait, they couldn't get a profitable tv deal and went out of business. I love how he criticises Tony Khan who is running a bigger and better promotion than ol Jim ever has or will. Reminder that Cornette personally said that he would rather wrestling died than go to the way of AEW,so yeh. Yet Cornette had no qualms working for the WWF in the Attitude Era, it seems like he's willing to throw aside his admittedly outdated morals when he gets paid. He's a goddamn hypocrite who just happens to be a very good talker. There's used car salesmen out there with more integrity.

The Cornette Defense Squad's responses are so predictable you can program a twitter bot to say the same things with 99% accuracy. The Cornette Execution Squad’s attacks are equally predictable.

It’s not Cornette holding a grudge here. It’s a ring announcer / promoter from a couple years ago. Someone no one knows. So you're saying that if someone said your best friend should be lynched for their fashion choices, that wouldn't stick with you? And that somehow someone being less famous makes their opinion less valid?

Cornette hated the nWo, DX, Attitude era as a whole. I think if AEW is doing something he hates they should run with it tbh.

The dude has deserved these "execution squad's" which is a dickish way of saying "people who are actually living in 2019 and not 1989."

Dude, he's spoken for hours and hours about how he wants to live long enough to piss on the grave of Russo for stuff that happened at least 20 years ago and Jim Herd for stuff that happened 30 years ago. You can't use the "oh it's old news" excuse when 80% of his podcast every week is him talking about why he hates someone for something they did years ago. Cornette's whole gimmick is holding onto grudges! How am i giving Cornette what he wants talking about him on a forum? I've never paid anything towards cornette, hell I don't even listen to his podcast anymore. It’s not Cornette holding a grudge here. It’s a ring announcer / promoter from a couple years ago. Someone no one knows. Cornette doesn’t care about this guy. Cornette can create content for his shows knocking people like Russo or AEW. It’s like Vince McMahon always said “Talk good about me, talk bad about me, just talk about me.” I don’t mind making more people aware of Cornette. He’s gaining more and more fans the more his name gets around. If you don’t like that you can stop giving him attention. It’s your choice. No he doesn't hold a grudge in this case, but he does hold a grudge with literally everything else. If you think the ring announcer should let it go because it's "old news" do you agree Cornette should f***ing get over Omega wrestling a girl 7 years ago? Surely that's old news now? It's become increasingly clear that Cornette and Russo have a hell of a lot more in common than either one would like to admit.

He was booking a developmental to a very small audience. Big difference to booking a show for a major network to a big audience.

I've never been offended by Cornette personally, just this idea that he's this genius that you can never call out

I can't get over how it's the same people who think Cornette is so hard done by, whereas this is the reaction that anyone would get, we don't hate what he said because he's Jim Cornette, it's just that Cornette has a habit of saying horrible shit and people defending him because "Hurr, Durr, ya'll don't understand, it's an old school rasslin' gimmick, god darn it!"

If more people ignored Cornette he might fade away but they keep going and it’s making him more relevant or popular than ever.

Cornette isn’t in the wrong here. Like seriously? Saying “ he should be hung in the parking lot for dressing that way” is such a benign comment to get this type of response out of a lot of you. What a way to make a mountain out of an ant hill, and I speculate most of you are fueled by your dislike for anything Cornette does.

To me, it's people acting like Cornette is beyond reproach and that absolutely any criticism that has ever been leveled at him is invalid that gets to me, if only because of the usual smug condescension that accompanies the viewpoint.
Like, Cornette is either a complete piece of shit or he's willing to act like one to line his bank account, which to me is basically not even actually a difference. It's fine if people like him, whatever, if you can separate the behavior from the performer good for you. But trying to act like anyone pointing out that a blatantly, unarguably racist, sexist, homophobic, violent, vindictive, close-minded piece of garbage might be wrong about anything, ever, is being completely unreasonable or is the worse person is what angers me.

Ah so he's doing the Russo thing of saying stupid shit and acting like a total clown to get attention? Ah ok now I get you.
