Still looking for an exact quote of Cornette's re: the joshi workers. I'm not even saying he didn't say it, but "I heard..." or asking, "Didn't he say...?" is not good enough. From episode 303: "I don't understand the Asian school girl fetish with the 98-pound champion pro wrestling being Riho-diculous and the legendary Emi Sakura [...] she looked like Margaret Cho. [...] They come up with a discount Margaret Cho that nobody's ever heard of because she's a legend for training all these other girls that nobody's ever heard of, except Kenny Olivier, who has an Asian schoolgirl fetish." From episode 304: "Because Kenny Olivier has a Japanese school girl anime fetish, we've all got to suffer." Jesus Christ, Cornette.

No, it's absolutely not "bullshit." You can like or dislike the fact, but it doesn't change that it is indeed a fact. I did no editorializing one way or the other on whether or not any of that was good (or bad). But ethnicities as a gimmick has long been a thing across any and all forms of pro wrestling across all countries. Being an ethnicity is not a gimmick. Especially in 2019The singhs are 2 indian dudes proud of being indian. They mention indian things and dance. But that is who they are. Being a minority in america does not mean i am a gimmick Don't know about anyone else but this thing has bothered me since 1989 actually. Each time I've witnessed crowds reaction to stereotypical foreign character based off some war feuding nation it has exposed how ignorant this industry was and still is all together with it's fans. That's wrestling. One of my favorite fantasy story lines is a traditional Muslim heel character that exposes audience as bigots as they really are right in their face. Hassan came close to that in TNA talking how hard it has been for him in life while being booed and then Rhino came out talking about how Murica is great with stitched Italian flag on his white hoodie. Absolute gold. Anyhow that's not Cornettes fault or Russos or Vinces fault. It's collective fault. Golden era of 80's had this fault, attitude era had this fault as well. WCW less so than WWF I must say, after all first ever african american to hold WWF championship is who and when? Again that's wrestling.

Corny is at it again. He disparages female Japanese wrestlers and says AEW won't have viewers unless they "force" people to watch in a few weeks - I'm posting this here because I want to contain Corny's negativity to one thread. Also, it illustrates many of the topics previously discussed.

Love his meltdown over Omega v. Moxley, for all the wrong reasons. The dude gets so worked up he reminds me of the Iron Shiek. What a bitter, violent, out of touch tool Corny has become. -

Cornette raved about Charlotte and Asuka's Wrestlemania 34 match, saying how amazing Charlotte is, but said jack shit about what Askua did.

When your that f***ing racist, your opinion on what makes a good fake fight semes irrelevant.

He said Moxley doesn’t look as intimidating as Terry Funk used to.
..I mean I really don’t wanna go for the boomer joke but the guy can’t be objective when it comes to AEW.

He also said (more than once) they should have "really" hit each other with the bat, in spite of how unsafe full speed shots would have been. Corny is just nitpicking because he obviously hates the people, not the product.

Just seeing on Reddit some comments made by Cornette about Justin Roberts on his latest podcast. Saying "Roberts looks like he ought to be registered somewhere to be around children"
Even by Cornettes standards, what he's said about Justin Roberts may be a new low and possibly grounds for legal action I don't know.
Just an utterly bizarre thing to say.

And to steal from the top poster there, it’s coming from this guy: I went back to edit my first post to actually explain what he said but yeah I saw that photo too lol. But like, what the f*** is Cornette thinking? How the hell can he think saying something like that is acceptable? I don't know for sure, but that could be grounds for Roberts suing him to be honest. I feel like it's such an appalling thing to say that it deserves it's own thread to talk about it but I know that Cornette threads don't tend to go well on this forum.

Agree with him or not, he has laid out in painstaking detail what his problem with Kenny Omega is. If you have heard him talk about Kenny Omega, you shouldn’t need to ask this question.

Yea, let's ask Eddie Edwards how a real bat f***ed up his face or even if it is gimmicked how Cody still got his brains scrambled with the chair

If there is anyone who still treats the shit like it is real it is them From what I understand ,Asian Wrestler usually have smaller build and well,look younger. Which makes him see then as lesser athletes. He also had problems with man bumping gor woman because of the size/muscle thing so I ASSUME it is a similar reason.

Just an utterly bizarre thing to say. 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.

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 think NWA made a huge mistake by not firing Corny. He's a ticking timebomb. It is only a matter of when not if he says something which gets them a metric ton of bad press if not sued somehow for libel and/or slander.
