I know Jim Cornette is a not a big favorite here but I will say hearing him recently rip Bruce Mitchell a new one was cathartic as hell You know it's a big deal when Jim Cornette isn't taking an opportunity to come after AEW. It really does illustrate that to the vast majority of people in the business, this is bigger than politics and what companies you do and don't like. I don't even think Jim ever really met Brodie, but him being pissed at someone for using his death to try to take down AEW gives me new respect for him And yes I know it wasn't directly about AEW, but he could have just kept quiet on it but he decided to stand up for the Huber family which is just fantastic.

I came in here to give Jim Cornette his props, the clip is posted on YT and he took the absolute piss out of Bruce Mitchell and gave massive props to AEW and Tony for what they have done for the Huber family.

I went on Disco's Twitter, and I almost feel he isn't worth the time. Like his tweets maybe get 20 likes. Mitchell at least somewhat mattered, who the hell has any respect for Glenn's opinion? Has he even gotten any work in years? Impact for a minute? I wanted to call him out, but he's busy explaining why a certain politician he like's phone call wasn't criminal. In the end, he's just hurting himself. Saying a widow ia lying to protect a company is clout chasing to a certain crowd. Konnan too. I'm sure when it comes to appearances, people will remember this. He's a nobody at this point who begs for scraps from Konnan, Russo, or Raven, a hanger-on bar excellence. He isn't worth the time.

It's nice to know through all the bullshit Cornette has done, he's still not the pond scum Mitchell and Disco have been.
Cornette has said some really dumb shit, but he showed a good conscience here, despite how he might feel about AEW usually, and his other viewpoints, him tearing Mitchell apart and praising the AEW tribute show really shows how united the wrestling world is over Brodie's passing and moreover, backing the Huber family.

You know you’ve gone f***ed up if Jim f***ing Cornette is in the right.

If Cornette was a wise man, he'd listen to his words about a man basing his career on winding people up and make this the turning point for his own career.
But he won't, because he's Jim Cornette.

I presume Big E. posted that message from Brodie's wife. But out of context, it seems so random to see his picture at the bottom.

It's a wonderful gesture and I'd be the first in line for doing that, the only problem is The WWE has done things I simply can't overlook.
I do of course support some of the wrestlers that work there if that's what she's getting at.

It's a call to end the needless tribalism of wrestling fans. People can be fans of AEW, people can be fans of WWE, people can be fans of both or neither, but there's no need to be a raging asshole about saying your likes are superior or another company sucks. Just go live your life with enjoyment and joy and don't get dragged down by negativity. There's more important things in life than pro wrestling and ratings and fandom, there really are. People and character transcend where they work and those relationships are what stays. The one thing we can take from Brodie is that you don't know when it's going to end, so why concern yourself with things you hate, be positive!

WWE has gone out of their way to be classy towards AEW, the Huber family, and how everyone handled Brodie's death. They didn't overstep any bounds. They paid small tributes to him while waiting on AEW's tribute show before they started their bigger tributes. You had major WWE stars practically advertise their competition's show on social media without any repercussions, and WWE's own show, NXT, more-or-less taking a knee that night. Even the tiny things of using his indies/AEW ring name of "Brodie" instead of Luke or Harper in the WWE-produced tributes because that's how all these guys knew him. Hell, Stephanie McMahon herself called him "Brodie" and "Jon" in her condolences tweet.
There's so much to criticize WWE about in the past, present, and likely in the future. But for this one nightmare of a week for the wrestling world, they should have near-universal praise. And I've said it before, but especially in the age of social media and coming up together in the indies, wrestling feels like one giant family that transcends who you get your paycheck from.

The idea in any fandom, in any field that you have to be right and what you like has to be the best is such a curse. If Brodie's legacy can involve even a smidge of moving away from that - and I'm not afraid to say that reading Amanda's words made me reconsider a couple of posts I was going to make - then he'll be even more the best of men that he appears to have been. I'm reminded of Brian Zane, from Wrestling with Wregret - 'Like what you like, dont be a dick' - maybe we can all learn from the above words, and that summary phrase - as we move beyond this grief period

You've insulted AEW fans on many occassions, and have been very negative. We don't have to get into the details of it, I don't neee to quote examples like "rapid AEW fans who pimp their product", but if you can take what she said, and stop being as tribal as you've been, then it's a success. Huber's loss should inspire more positivity, because that's what he brought to the world.

I have a lot of mixed feelings about the WWE and the ethics involved, but... yeah. The WWE handled that with more class than any former employer I can think of would, especially in wrestling. As his wife said, he wasn't unhappy, he just wanted more. In a weird way, Vince seems to like that kind of initiative at times. Also, I hope Brodie Jr keeps popping up from time to time. If there's one thing that I'm positive we can all agree on, it's that seeing his son be a part of his dad's legacy in such way makes us smile. Side note, you can tell 2021 is going to be a year of healing when Jim f***ing Cornette is on the right side of something.

I hope you can also learn that trying to score points on someone trying to say that they want to be less reactionary and be less confrontational, really doesnt inspire that positivity. We can grow together.
