For everyone who missed this mornings fun, Corny blocked Brian Zane on Twitter for comparing wrestling and the circus. So, that’s the end of that “friendship” or whatever it was. It's traveling entertainment. It has strong men. Acrobats. Clowns. Stunts. The comparison is absurdly apt.

This is especially goofy considering a go-to of this guy is "Nowadays, guys just block each other on twitter".

I continue to not understand everybody's need to talk about Jim Cornette.

I continue to not understand everybody's need to talk about Jim Cornette. On one hand, I get that sentiment. On the other, thread isn't titled, "SIX WAYS TO WIN CASH" or something, you knew what you're clicking into.

I'm beginning to wonder if Corny might have early-onset dementia, no joke. At times it is almost as if he forgets the in-ring product is a work.

Wow just wow, what a vile thing to say. Every time I think current Corny can't sink any lower he surprises me. Another thing I find very interesting how many of Corny's go-to insults are either homophobic, transphobic or racist yet he claims he isn't a homophobe, transphobe or racist rather he is ignorant of their deeper meanings, odd how that works huh? Also, I'm rapidly losing respect for Brian Lass (sp?) with each podcast episode as he sits there unwilling or unable to call Corny out on his verbal bs. The guy is becoming as big a douchebag as Corny by omission. Oh I totally agree, especially about Brian Last. You can tell he realises "oh shit, that was over the line" but he daren't actually call Cornette out. Utterly spineless and he's a moron for not editing it out. I dunno, maybe this will blow over but if Justin Roberts is a litigious guy then I can't see how Cornette gets away with it. You can't just accuse someone of being a pedophile with no basis whatsoever, it's bizarre that he thinks something like that is ok to say. I am not defending the statement here at all by Cornette. It was tactless, tasteless, and a really overall terrible attempt at humor that should be apologized for by any rational human being. That said, it was an *attempt* at humor. You'd have a hard time convicting a judge that he was truly insinuating Justin Roberts actually molests children.
It's strangely similar to the suicide controversy, in that, here is another ring announcer Cornette is lambasting over his appearance in a really terrible and over the top way. Trouble is, Cornette thinks he's George Carlin and its 1998 when he's dishing out these barbs but he's actually more like Bill Maher in 2019. He still has his core audience, but he's bit by bit driving away everyone else who could possibly be on his side every time he opens his mouth.

To expand on joining TM's boycott earlier, I think Jim's Asian comments are right on the line of being offensive. I wasn't cool with Jim insulating Riho got her AEW job because of some sexual relationship with Omega, but these latest comments about Emi Sakura and Jim's previous comments about Jordynne Grace begin to show a pattern. I'm not even counting the Justin Roberts comments. We all know he has anger issues and that's a part of what makes him entertaining. I feel like you shouldn't make comments like that to women. Granted I am an AEW mark as well, but it's obvious Jim's watching these shows with a very bias' eye. He hates Kenny Omega, the young bucks, etc. and I can't really trust his opinion when he has a score he wants to settle by putting them on blast every week.

Defamation of Character cases have been won over less.

Where does Cornette think wresting came from? What a fake wrestling fan Jim is. Hell Mick Foley who was one of Jim's friends made that comparison at one time...is Jim going to block Mick for that?

Where does Cornette think wresting came from? What a fake wrestling fan Jim is. Pro wrestling came from the idea of wrestlers deciding that legit shoot fights were A) boring as they would last for hours and consist of nothing but choke holds and B) potentially dangerous given the injuries ranged from cauliflower ears to broken limbs. It was decided that it would be more lucrative and entertaining to just fake it and plan ahead, with a flair for the theatrics. Lo and behold, professional wrestling was born. Anyway, Zane was a big fan of Cornhole, and now that Corny blocked him, that pretty much is an end of an era.

Of course wrestling is a circus. The top champion in the number two company in the US tames lions.

Tom Campbell was on Cultaholic a few months ago talking with Ross Tweddell about things that piss him off in a "Straight to Hell" and one of the very things that irked him were "Jim Cornette Snitches". Sure enough, a Jim Cornette Snitch told on Brian Zane.

What was the exact line he said about Justin Roberts? Because there's a fine line between offensive "humor" and outright defamation.

From his podcast “Justin Roberts looks like he ought to be registered somewhere to be around children. He’s so happy. You see a f***ing guy dressed up like that with that big smile coming across his face coming towards your kids, run.”
