Thread here on the allegations.
- Madison here - just noting that we're allowing this thread as it pertains to actual news on Cornette, not his views. Please keep this thread on-topic and do NOT deviate so that you can rant about his podcast, his views of oldschool/new wrestling or any other related topic. Thanks.

Going by the responses apparently there've been rumors of this floating around for awhile but I'd certainly never heard them. Yeesh, what monsters.

Wow, Cornette's stock just continues to plummet. Can't wait to hear his 30-minute rant on how he's innocent and this is dumb bullshit while his co-host eagerly agrees.

I remember when #MeToo was first picking up steam, most of us on here agreeing it'd be a complete shitshow once it hit pro wrestling, an "industry" filled to the brim with so many carny sleazebags that even the seediest players in Hollywood would be embarassed to associate with it.
It took longer than I expected, but looks like the floodgates are finally breaking.

I... How does this keep getting worse? This whole day is making me question my wrestling fandom. God only knows about the stories in Japan we haven't heard about |

I... How does this keep getting worse? This whole day is making me question my wrestling fandom. God only knows about the stories in Japan we haven't heard about I started this afternoon thinking I should reconsider my plans to go back into wrestling, now I'm reconsidering interacting with other human beings. This is ridiculous. |

It took longer than I expected, but looks like the floodgates are finally breaking. We had a mini one in Britwres about 2 and a half years ago with Dan Elder, Scott Wainwright and James Davis but I guess it took the David Starr thing before people felt strong enough to open the real floodgates. |

You just KNOW there are some skeletons hidden deep in that closet, just waiting to be found. |

God only knows about the stories in Japan we haven't heard about I mean the stories that are public knowledge about Japan are bad enough. That dude dying in the NJPW dojo in 2000, the f***ing Shingo Takagi monkey abuse blog, etc. What's important to remember is that this is really like pressure building up and blowing. Just like Hollywood. Most wrestlers are not, strictly speaking, awful people. There are thousands of wrestlers in the world and the majority are not rapists or whatever, but you're going to find out about the dozens that are right now, and it's going to seem like an avalanche of abuse |

It turns out Joey Janela alluded to this sort of thing on Twitter a couple of months back.
I have no words.
