Jim Cornette's Double Or Nothing Review
- Thread starter The Ruler 09
- Start date
I heard he got in trouble for saying something about Sonny Kiss.
I don't know what he said. I haven't listened to Cornette since I heard him talk about telling the boys to "get that fukking ****** outta here"
The Memphis carnies are always the worst

Nah he uses male pronouns, he's just gay afEven as someone who is cool with all this and tries to be respectful, it's confusing. shyt changes on a dime, and folks are READY to get at you for being disrespectful, when in most cases people just didn't know.
My understanding is that Sonny Kiss isn't trans, but they just want people to use feminine pronouns when referring to them. For all I know, I could be wrong as shyt.

This was his best review. The only thing he liked was Cody vs Dustin, MJF, Adam Page And Lucha Bros. He basically called Kenny and The Bucks fakkits.

Cornette bores me to death when he leans into his "modern wrestling mostly sucks" schtick.
Now, I don't think he's a homophobe, but he sure as hell leaned into some base level gay stereotypes when he was criticizing Sonny Kiss (would it have been so hard to just call the dude an "exotico," as opposed to talking about how he "just came back from the drag show" and all that nonsense). Same shyt when he was saying that it was improper for Aubrey Edwards to be reffing the second pre-show match because she was a woman (his excuse about size doesn't hold water because Brian Hildebrand was 130 soaking wet holding a brick and no one cared about him reffing in WCW. She's probably bigger than he was, honestly): I don't think he's a sexist, but that was definitely a sexist viewpoint. The hectoring self-critique of Twitter activism is also kinda bullshyt, but a little examination of why he's using this language to articulate his dislike of these parts of the show wouldn't hurt.
If Sonny Kiss and his fiancee were mad about this, fine. But Joey Ryan using this to try and get him fired from MLW because they have long running beef is a sucker move, and I'm deeply annoyed that anyone fell for it. Calling for someone's livelihood simply because they slightly stepped wrong (not when they have and continue to engage in explicitly and virulently racist/sexist/etc. behavior a la Hulk Hogan) is just ridiculous, especially when your reason for doing so has nothing to do with the aggrieved community in question.
Beyond that, I'm getting really sick of Cornette's "wrestling didn't need to evolve past 1986" viewpoint. It's sad, because he has a lot to offer the wrestling business given his wealth of knowledge, but he really needs to get over his hatred for modern trends and understand that certain aspects of the business have changed forever, and one should seek to either push the business forward or build the best version of the current framework. He seems to want regression, and that combined with his histrionics makes me not want to bother with him a lot of the time.
It's a shame, really.
