Jim Cornette should be blackballed from the wrestling industry. Glad his toadies are no longer skulking around here. He should have been blackballed after hitting Santino. Santino will always have my respect for confronting Cornette in person for all the shit he talked about him for years, only for Cornette to turtle and try to come off as if he was the victim. Santino will always have my respect for making Cornette look like the bully that he is: talk lots of shit behind your back, but then turtle and run away once you're confronted in person.

Mayu Iwatani vs Io Shirai still stands as my favorite women's wrestling match to this day. Those 2 worked so well together, plus the sequencing of moves, selling, and storytelling in that match was nothing short of phenomenal.
Those two women put each other through a lot to put on a clinic in that ring. You can't help but to give them mad respect for going full-tilt to deliver a match of that quality.

Hasn't Cornette gone as far as to accuse Omega of being a groomer with underage joshi talent?
Yeah, baseless grooming accusations should absolutely lead to a complete blackballing. f*** him.

The stuff he has said about Kenny is awful. Most of his nicknames for him are just thinnly veiled homophobia as well. It astounds me that anyone involved with AEW would give Cornette the time of the day considering the shit he's said about their co-workers.

There is no scenario where Cornette is anything less than an awful human being.
He either actively believes the things he says, or he's "working" and he's just an edgelord dumbass who works his fanbase into frothing morons.

Is there any actual evidence that would suggest that is was Cornette fans that caused her to delete her Twitter? Or is this just Tennis Racket Man Bad

Or is this just Tennis Racket Man Bad Just so we’re clear, even if they weren’t the direct reason (and there’s plenty of reason to think they are), that crowd, using a ton of what Jim says on his show, have been hounding wrestlers like Riho for three years now for the crimes of being petite and being Japanese. So I don’t really give a f*** about further evidence; even if they’re not the main culprit here, f*** ‘em, regardless.

Io's white belt reign and 2nd red belt reign are IMO the two best womens title reigns in the last decade+ just absoloute masterclass in executing long title reigns from the stories to the consistently insane quality of matches she put on. Although most will say that MoMo Watanbes white belt reign which she began by beating Io is right there with Io's (unfortunately MoMo has never lived up to that reign of hers since). But black peach MoMo hot yo.

Im not a Riho fan myself and would rather other talents in the division get her win/loss record however I would never ever abuse someone the way she does or even go out my way to let her know I wasn’t a fan or hers
I really don’t understand the mindset of anyone who would and am glad I can’t to be honest
I hope on a personal level Riho is doing ok

Unless of course, that person is someone like CM Punk, who's propped up Cornette in order to further stoke the flames.

I'll never understand people who hate watching things. Seems like that's what cornette does and makes a load of money doing it. It baffles me. And why attack anyone like this. Like their wrestling or not at the end of the day they're all human beings.

Jim Cornette has two major criticisms of Riho, and one of them isn't specific to her. He says that she's so small it isn't believable that she'd be able to hurt a gnat let alone another human being, and for that reason makes pro wrestling look bad any time she does anything. The non-specific one is that he rails against the schoolgirl fetishization that's so common in the Japanese women's wrestling scene. I completely disagree on the first. The problem with his take on the second is that he seems to think that someone cannot possibly be a fan of Joshi without being a pedo creep. Or maybe he doesn't think that but he likes using it for rant material. Either way, he manages to drown his own points in his vitriol.
His fans, however, lack even the ability to process that bit of nuance. They also want to have loud vitriolic opinions just like Cornette, but they're not guys who spent decades perfecting the art of a good rant/promo, they're just loudmouth jackasses on the internet in an echo chamber.

I mean how can people just rail on Riho? Even if she's not your cup of tea, she brings it every time she's out there and obviously has talent. And it's a damn shame that Joshi(or any women) wrestler gets the shit they get. Like I've mentioned before, Terry Funk, a legend in the business once said that the joshi wrestlers were better than the guys in a era which some amazing talent was out there, speaks volumes. Look at Asuka, she's been one of the top talents in a WWE that's been a flush with talent over the last 5 or so years. Io Shirai has a swagger few in wrestling can match. Hikaru Shida is one of the best wrestlers in AEW, male or female. Shit, I'll put her top 5. Jaime Hayter wrestles harder than most of the guys. Rhea Ripley looks like she will rip people apart. Bianca is an insane athlete that seemed to figure this shit out faster than most.
And as for Cornette, student of wrestling history, if he just taje his head out of his ass, can see that the joshi style influenced alot of wrestling from the 90s onwards. I mean how many moves were stolen? f***, I watched a Crush Gals match, when they came out, you thought a Prime Rock N' Eoll Express was coming out with the cheers they got. Long story short: these girls do not deserve the nonsense they get for the work they do.

I don’t like Riho - don’t think she should be abused however. That being said, every public personality constantly gets hated on (not saying it’s okay, but it does happen) so it’s not just specific to her and other Japanese women is it?

That being said, every public personality constantly gets hated on (not saying it’s okay, but it does happen) so it’s not just specific to her and other Japanese women is it? Cornette and his fanbase have made Riho a target more so than other women even in AEW, to the point the attacks have made her delete her socials So I would have to say that while it's not specific, everyone does get some margin of hate, Riho's hate was perpetuated and ramped up via Cornette never letting go about her and adjacently Kenny Omega, which then made it the mission of his flunkies to harass her on a daily basis This has been going on for months if you listen to Omega's interviews as well. Riho had to ask him why people were being so rude to her online and at live shows. These people are scumbags and it's disturbing the lengths they'll go, and Cornette doesn't do a damn thing to stop them and won't, he doesn't care.
