Jim Cornette Gets Put On That Summer Jam Screen, Wife Gets Me Too'd

[dbp]

My dude, i was thinking the same exact thing. I didn't expect a knock out, but i'd think after all the years in the biz, and the fame cache, he'd get one of those older rats that is clearly past her prime, but decent for an older broad.

This.... really shocked me.

She's about what I'd expect. Wrestling is low on the fame totem pole, much less when you're glory days were 30 years ago. Not to mention Cornette himself looks like a dweeb.

I was waning on Cornette's act years ago when Russo and him were threatening and insulting each other over working on the WWF booking committee which was over 20+ years ago. These are men in their 50's, mind you. He's been kind of spiraling downhill.

For years he bragged about slapping Santino, but when was confronted about it, he yelled for the nearest camera he could find. He stopped talking to Brian Zane over some dumb shyt that girls get mad about. And then there's this colorful quote: " [Trevor Murdoch] is the only man I've ever known that can strap a bucket of fried chicken on his back and ride a motor scooter across Ethiopia."

I can't wait to see how his bootlickers try to come to his defense this time. fukk Jim Cornette and motherfukk Vince Russo too.

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

Tell me how you really feel, breh

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

he could've easily scooped up an ex-porn chick

Cornette let other wrestlers fukk his wife so he wouldn't have to.

 

[mattw1313]

Just me, but I really don't care. Pressure or not, if you're a grown man and you go in and have sex with a man's wife, you chose to do that

I don't listen to his podcasts cause I think he's a role model, I listen because he's extremely knowledgeable about wrestling and entertaining in the process

I fully expect all cacs to be sexual deviants. Doesn't affect me

 

[DanielAlfredsson]

Seems pretty believable, as others have said Cornette has "the look" of a guy who'd be into this.

I'm just waiting for a name we recognize to confirm this shyt.

 

[The Rainmaker]

Let Cornette and Russo fight and kill each other

I think it's more that with OVW being the gateway to the top of the industry (WWE), Corny and his kinky ass wife were using it as leverage over talent to get their rocks off. That's predatory in the grand scheme of things - no matter how grown a man or woman you are, that power dynamic exists as a barrier between you and potential success, and if you really wanna get to that highest point, you might just do it. I'm not saying I'd do it, but I feel empathy for anyone who feels like they would be forced to just to achieve something they really wanna achieve.

If they were just swinging just to do it, nobody would care - there's probably a hell of a lot of swinging going on on the wrestling biz (I have a hunch that Rusev & Lana in particular are on that Hotwife shyt ). But adding the carrot of the contract ahead of them is just a bit insidious.

 

[Box Factory]

Only a couple pages in to the thread, so no clue if it's been mentioned, but I've heard Bruce prichard and a I think a few other ppl make vague jokes alluding to the fact that Cornette is into some different shyt behind closed doors

So this doesn't shock me

 

[Batter Up]

I guess that dispels whatever's left of the narrative that Cena never paid his dues for his spot

 

[Hoss]

If that many wrestlers were involved, it's just surprising to me that this was kept quiet for this long. Especially considering how predatory it is.

This sounds bad, bruh.

I mean, at least the shyt he did with the banana wasn't predatory.

 

[The Girl From Innsmouth]

This case is particularly insidious because when Cornette ran OVW, it was on a two-tier system. There were the Ortons, Batistas, and Lesnars that WWE was paying OVW to train. And then there were the local guys who actually paid their money for training and to be on the developmental TV in hopes of getting fed up to WWE. It seems like the guys who are speaking out now are the more vulnerable second class of students.

Which fits the profile of people who abuse their position to fulfill their sexual fantasies. If Jimmy and Stacey were just on AdultFriendFinder, or whatever swingers were doing in 2002, that would be one thing - nobody's business. They were using (on the one hand) the promise of more exposure to high profile people and (on the other) the threat of having your Kentucky athletic commission license pulled by their pals in the office to coerce trainees.

(This is probably the only post I make on all this. Being confronted with all this stuff has been heavy on my own psyche, and I'm taking a little break from wrestling.)

 

[Rosecrans]

Can’t believe this cuck piece of shyt has been so vocal given the skeletons (next to him) in his closet

I can think of a couple of reasons why (besides some of the obvious such as shame, the need to distance oneself from the event and process it, not wanting to deal with the fallout of your claim going under scrutiny, etc.). A lot of the behaviors are normalized, and are used as punchlines to jokes as opposed to indicators of systemic problems in the business. There are about 8 million jokes about possible sexual practices in Titan Towers, but we don't really discuss them in terms of sexual harassment and an unsafe work environment. They're punchlines. Same for all the stories of sexual deviancy in the business. Ribs, quirky, but not seen as the crimes they may be (see that Michael Elgin video I posted in another thread recently. Elgin clearly thinks it's the funniest shyt ever while Steen/Owens is vaguely horrified).

Also, if you're a large, strong-ass man, you're not always going to think of a situation like "get invited to fukk my booker's obese goth wife in front of him" as anything other than bizarre, as opposed to a quid pro quo situation, most likely because you don't always feel physically restrained by it. It takes time for that realization to hit for some people.

There are probably others I'm not thinking of, but those are two that immediately come to mind.

And by the way, Cornette probably wouldn't be in the top 25 deviants in the business if this were happening in, like, 1988. Think about THAT shyt.
