NWA

Cornette out.

"Effective immediately: Jim Cornette has resigned from the National Wrestling Alliance. As an announcer on the November 19th edition of NWA Power, Jim made remarks during a singles match between Nick Aldis and Trevor Murdoch that were both offensive and do not meet the high standards of decency and good faith of the National Wrestling Alliance.

To ensure that such an error can never happen again, we've established new procedures of review for all NWA programming going forward.

We sincerely regret our failure in this regard."

Though Friday sounds like it will be a good one.

I love me some Kristen Bell.

I think he absolutely should've been fired/let resign. This is the second time in 2 weeks that NWA has had to apologize for him. Just go back a page and read all about it. Making light of suicide, telling someone to hang themself, telling a female to "go back to the kitchen, toots".

It never stops with this guy.

That first one about suicide was ludicrous to get mad over. 

This one was a little worse but still not fireable IMO. 

Should be a good podcast on Friday.

Did you actually hear the podcast? Is anyone capable of making a fucking joke anymore. This gotcha culture is out of fucking control.

I did not but what I read about and from him is enough for me.

He has long made light & fun of suicide. Robin Williams & Heath Ledger among his targets.

He has burned bridges with basically every organization he's ever been apart of. Eventually everybody else is not the problem. You are. (Not you WR. You know what I mean)

He tweets like he's in 6th grade. He's embarrassing. Total potty mouth. Hates everything new. Unable to adapt his old ass.

I don't like anything about him in all honesty. Other than he hates Trump. Which is ironic.

KS, I promise this isn't a shot at you.  Seriously.  But not actually hearing content is a big problem with our problems today.  

That said, these "crybaby wrestlers" have created a community that's almost bringing back a territory system Cornette said could never return.  "Wrestling is dead" he's said, as billions of dollars (literally), are being pumped into the system.  What's dead is his past.  Which I desperately want him to preserve as a historian.  But a guy that grew up on Memphis wrestling shitting on non-conventional wrestling is Trump laughable. 

He's built a brand based on being a huge part of the wrestling business and his OCD made me appreciate parts of the wrestling business I didn't know existed.  But we either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain.  Not liking something is fine.  But being a progressive liberal with 1970's views is a conflicted guy.  

Only reason he has this much space in my head is the Kayfabe Commentaries shows.  He's so good in that forum.  

I've seen you guys say that the making light of the suicide thing/telling someone how to hang themselves, and telling toots to get back in the kitchen is no big deal. NWA obviously felt otherwise.

Now this fried chicken thing is no big deal. And again, NWA obivously felt otherwise.

I don't know what else to say. Obviously none of us are going to change each other's mind. I'm not cancel culture, I'm not PC but this fuck just never stops. NWA has had to apologize for him again and again. I just don't think he's worth all this trouble.

I don’t disagree with that KS. He’s no doubt made his own bed. I have a big problem when people that read or hear shit go crazy with cancel culture without actually reading or hear what was said. It’s one of my main reasons I cannot stand Meltzer because he tries to position himself as a journalist when it’s convenient but he follows none of their rules.

I get your point though. He’s given up benefit of doubt with you and that’s hard to argue.

He has definitely gotten worse over the last year. It’s clear that the only way AEW was going to make him happy is if it was exactly how he determined wrestling should be which isn’t a practical way to view things if you want to enjoy them. I think we all know where I stand on certain wrestlers but he is nitpicking AEW to the point of no return (he does praise many things as well).

As for NWA, honestly you should have known what you signed up for with Cornette. You get the good and the bad.

Corny's got some statements out there. Go find them yourselves you heathens!


Especially Woodridge!!!

That was a far more reasonable response than I expected actually. Credit where credit is due.

This KS guy is softer than Taylor Swift's shit music.

Kind of hilarious. It's a very Dixie move if I'm being honest.
