You know why Jim Cornette hasn’t been cancelled yet, when so many others have? Why he still takes in hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in sponsorship dollars?
Because he’s not actually a racist or a phobe, and you’re all just easily triggered virtue-signaling frauds.
I used to think Jim Cornette was a jerk & an idiot.
Then I started listening to his podcasts, and hearing his criticisms in their full context.
I've learned he's one of the only sane voices left, not just in pro-wrestling, but possibility on the entire planet.
Imagine being such an ignorant fool that you try to say
that Jim Cornette & Punk

I find it hilarious that you felt it necessary to include a parenthetical stating that wrestling 400 days a year was “mathematically impossible”.

I had to re-read it like ten freakin times (no pun intended).
They’re basically saying, they think Omega is injury prone and wouldn’t have a long shelf-life, as compared to a guy like Rollins.
It’s a really weird tweet, and you’re not wrong for being puzzled.

What do you mean, “exactly” and “common sense” — don’t ride the fng shoulder, period. It’s dangerous, no matter how “safe” you try to do it, because drivers DONT EXPECT YOU TO BE THERE.
Can you do it 99/100 without causing an accident? Probably. Should you? Absolutely not.

It’s weird to you because you’re probably an unattractive introvert who doesn’t have friendly, mildly flirtatious platonic relationships with women, like attractive extroverts do who are secure in their marriage.

I’m pretty sure a real vest wouldn’t stop a bullet at contact-range like that. I’m not really a “gun guy”, so don’t quote me, but I was 99.99% sure I was about to watch someone die before I found out the weapon wasn’t real.

Not only are they watching it, the company just sold for 9 billion dollars and merged with the UFC to form a 21 billion dollar media company.
But do you, I guess.

Fake glass would’ve actually made the spot way cooler. Imagine him crashing straight through the entire windshield, with the glass exploding in all directions with a loud burst & crash.
Compared to that, the actual spot was super mid.

Just chainsmoked three Newports in a row, had an ice cream sandwich, tossed back a Xanax and booted up Streets of Rage at 3:30am.

One of the things that made this storyline so cool was the unshakeable bond of the two brothers, and the fact that nothing *DID* come between them.
Jumped the shark.
@WrestleDabbler
He’s referring to Kenny Omega booking and pushing lots of female Asian talent because he has a fetish for Asian women.
Which, I mean, so do I, so Kenny can do what he likes, but I laughed when corny said it 😂
@TheSageDoctor
I don’t want to start a whole chain of “anti-AEW” comments, but I don’t think it’s accurate to say they “don’t miss much”, in this context.
One of the most frustrating criticisms I have as a fan is that they don’t capitalize on momentum and/or provide really strong, focused
@PuroresuFlow
I am so ashamed as a wrestling fan who has been watching since 92, been to countless indy shows in the early 00’s, WWF, WCW, WWE, ECW, CZW, ROH, and on and on … I have seen SO MUCH wrestling … and I have never seen one single Kurt Angle TNA match from start to finish.

Never forget that time Linda was *SO EXCITED* for her plans later that evening to attend her very first AEW show - she’d bought four FRONT ROW tickets facing the hard cam, and she couldn’t wait to cheer for her favorite babyfaces!
She got there and was informed by security that

This tweet is just a direct lie, there’s not even some clever twist on it.
Are you just straight up tweeting complete lies now?

Dude kicked that Kangaroos ass, IMO. He definitely won.
However, Kanga was respectful, and didn’t immediately kick him in the stomach and rip his soft guts out and spread them all over the finely manicured grass. So there’s that.

The person who is in charge of making travel arrangements, their travel coordinator, has “liked” anti-CM PUNK tweets on Twitter.

How is Punk discouraging Jack Perry from using REAL GLASS in a senseless and dangerous spot, “toxic” ? This is an example of a story of Punk being an actual leader and helping a younger talent do the right thing.
@IANdrewDiceClay
It’s morbid to think about, but Warrior *actually* dying while literally being pulled up into heaven on wires is something so outrageous and insane that the company would just have to immediately shut down forever, right then and there.
@DemWrestling
It was definitely terrible. As one of the people saying some positive things on the timeline today about Jinder, I’d like to take this opportunity to add that every moment of him being featured at the top of the card was extremely painful.
I was happy for him. Still painful.
@PuroresuFlow
Mia Khalifa? Who’s that…? I definitely don’t know who she is. Nope. Not me. 100% absolutely for sure have never heard of this woman before this moment right now.
You heard me, right? You heard what I said? You remembered I said it? I. Do. Not. Know. This. Woman.
This is what CM Punk fans have known all along— and why we love him.
Miss me with your lame, weak-sauce “UFC” potshots— ya’ll are cooked.
Crowd chanting his name—
Stay bitter, trolls. Cry me a river.
@DrainBamager
It makes being an AEW fan so frustrating, because I can TELL the product is suffering tremendously BECAUSE he works so much.
The reason we don’t have white-hot programs and strong builds is because he doesn’t have the time to book it that way. The way he books it now, is the

When CM Punk landed at Heathrow Airport for All In on Saturday morning, no one from AEW was waiting to greet him with a car service to take him to the hotel.
Punk texted a number he was given by AEW for the driver, and it bounced back.
Punk decided to buy a train ticket and

I think she’s done pretty well for herself. At times it felt like she was stalled, but when you honestly look at it, she’s accomplished quite a bit in the last year. My favorite girl on the main roster.
@EliteClubSOB
He lost a tag match, and he lost a tournament final.
I *do* agree that him losing that singles match felt a little strange, but as soon as I said to myself “oh yeah, it’s a tournament”, it didn’t matter to me anymore. IIRC NJPW has had the champ lose during G1 before.

@Category_Fury
No we didn’t. We didn’t even think about it. It was literally just a word. the only time you wouldn’t say it is if you had a friend with a disabled family member, you wouldn’t say it around them— but usually they’d end up saying it themselves and then u could say it again.
@DorbyAllen
I do. Miro with the TNT title is still one of my favorite things in AEW, ever.
I hated Rusev. Just utterly boring.
But Miro? Yes. ABSOLUTELY YES. Give me all of the Miro.
Bringing in CJ Perry was awful though. They’ve ruined it. All they had to do was make him a killer again

Those paragraphs featured proper punctuation and structure, and were not difficult to read. The common “long paragraph” complaint is when people post huge blocks of text with no indentation or punctuation— essentially, one giant run-on sentence.
Dunno what your gripe is here.
@SeanRossSapp
Okay, so, this post is a LITTLE confusing, because it doesn’t highlight the fact that there won’t be a “Board of Directors” for WWE after the merger.
WWE will cease to exist as a corporate entity, as will UFC. I’d forgotten this fact, that the new board would be overseeing the
@SqueepsTheGod
@WrestlingWCC
You don’t think so? He came in and exceeded all expectations. I’ve never been more impressed with a celebrity wrestler.
His fundamentals are very strong— he’s a natural.
I approve of his title reign.
This is all tangential to his IRL shenanigans, of course.
@WrestlePurists
The Bucks should never get the win back. That was the whole point of them losing at Wembley.
We dont want a fourth match anyway. It’s over. It’s settled.
Everyone is criticizing AEW for “releasing the footage”.
Why?
1) it will help explain/establish Jack Perry’s new gimmick. Haven’t we said many times things need context?
2) Don’t we (CM Punk fans) all want to see the footage anyway?
This is just disingenuous bitching, lol
@dembirds
@WrestlePurists
@FightfulSelect
Because he’s a locker room leader on Collision. As a veteran, this type of thing is expected. It’s literally what many of us have been saying we want MORE OF in AEW - actual veterans with common sense reining-in the younger talent from doing senseless and dangerous spots.
@EliteClubS0B
Yeah, but remember 5 months before ALL-IN when everyone was saying “no way do they even sell 40k” and then posting clown faces and laughing emojis?
That’s why all these hate posts just make me roll my Eye.
It’s all just goal-post adjusting and dopamine sniping, lol.

They are definitely not the main characters in this fan’s eyes, or many fan’s eyes. The Elite are not the first, second, or even third thing that I think about when I think of AEW.

No … they sold. Vince sold WWE to Endeavor Group, who owns the UFC. And then Endeavor merged the UFC and the WWE into a new company called TKO.
It’s cute that you’re this confidently incorrect, though.
@b0zzyNZ
What are you talking about? Warner Brothers Discovery executives REQUESTED A MEETING WITH WWE EXECUTIVES.
That happened. Why are you blaming Punk?
@JustAlyxCentral
This card would not have sold 80,000 tickets.
I agree with everything you said about those matches you named, but they could’ve built this card with DIFFERENT match-ups that had strong programs and solid feuds, months of angles and storylines.
Too many multi-man matches.
@jimmyvan74
Let’s not forget that Elon Musk, worth over $200 BILLION (at the time) couldn’t come up with 50 billion in cash to buy Twitter. He took out loans.

I totally get that — I understand an advantage of a motorcycle is you can do it (provided you aren’t caught). But it’s still riding the shoulder & human error can’t be understated.
