Cornette didn't want the mummy gimmick. He's flat out said so. It wouldn't have happened if it had been 100% his decision. But it was a mummy gimmick. You can call a duck a goose but it is still a duck. He just tried to go through all the hoops to act like it isnt. I'm talking about the idea of Cornette being a hypocrite. I don't think he is. He thought it was stupid but was instructed to do it and he went out of his way to come up with a plausible explanation for it on air.

My body is ready for the Freshly Squeezed (tm) carnage coming to AEW. BRING ON THE BLOOD JUICE BATH. A blood/juice bath? That sounds more like something that may happen in Orange's upcoming match. The 'Blood Orange' Cassidy

What I’ve seen of Orange Cassidy so far has been great, wrestling’s always had people doing gimmicks like this so not sure why all the fuss, the earliest example I can think of is catweasel who did a similar but different act decades ago and I’m sure he wasn’t the first either.

Honestly it not being an actual Mummy makes it more lame for me or at least making clear it is not.Like the whole thing with The Fiend right now,if they just went "Well Bray is not actually a fiend"it would be lame. Call a Spade a Spade, you wanted an ancient Egyptian mummy themed wrestler.Cornette didn't want the mummy gimmick. He's flat out said so. It wouldn't have happened if it had been 100% his decision. That. Does. Not. Matter. They put a mummy in the ring. Period. That is the entire point of my original post. The background does not matter. The conflicting presentations does not matter. They put a mummy in the ring.

That last post from me earlier today was just to rebut the statement (not from you, Madison) that Cornette "wanted" a mummy character, which is factually inaccurate.

I don't think I'd call Cornette a hypocrite, but he is basically the "No Fun Allowed" Robot meme of wrestling bookers.

Guys dressed in mummy suits, guys dressed in Ninja Turtle suits, Orange Cassidy, Joey Ryan.... it's all pro wrestling. Of that bunch, I'd rather watch the Orange Cassidy matches. Good for me, because he's the one who's going to be on national television soon.
I'd also rather listen to Excalibur than Jim Cornette in 2019. Bonus.

I desperately want to see what a 2019 Jim Cornette-booked wrestling show would look like.

I desperately want to see what a 2019 Jim Cornette-booked wrestling show would look like. What kinda roster would he even have to start with? Pretending he could have whoever he wants, who out there does he actually like right now besides the Revival?

The last thing he booked was his era in ROH which did horribly and all he did was blame the fans for not liking what he was giving to them. Blame the fans. Blame his bosses. Blame the current generation of wrestlers. Complain about all of it. Tell everyone that all of these people don't belong in "his business." I'm sick of it. Safe to say that a Jim Cornette booked wrestling show in 2019 (which we got a preview of with his tenure at ROH) wouldn't be selling out 10,000 seat venues like the Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, Cody, etc. are with AEW, a product people want to see.

Not gonna lie I would be fascinated to read all of his excuses.
