Jordynne Grace says that wrestling is an art and not a sport; Cornette fukkery ensues

[JerseyBoy23]

I think it's both but you have a lot of people in the business who want to do either or, and that's what's killing the business.

It's part art because the moves/work have to look good, there is a certain aesthetic to be adhered to in terms of "good" pro wrestling, otherwise we wouldn't have the term "botches". You also need to be able to cut a promo, sell yourself to the crowd, and have a good gimmick. So yeah in a sense it's an artform. And it does require talent and skill.

It's part sport because these people are athletes competing against each other and themselves for the biggest reaction from the crowd and thus the biggest bag. So it is a sport in a sense.

The problem is when you have people who think they are bigger than the business. People who can work their ass off but don't know how to cut a promo. People who don't do what's necessary to actually be good in the ring. People who have not actually trained to be able to do the shyt but think that because they can talk shyt on a mic or play a character, that they deserve to be pro wrestlers. And just people in general who have not paid their dues, but think they should be elevated to the level of people who have bleed and sweat and shed tears for this shyt.

This is why I laugh at people who do the smug ass "wrestling is fake" shyt. You know how many people say that but have never seen the inside of a gym or even work out? I look at a person like that as fukking peon on the same level as someone who is like "Serena is not that good I can take her" or cats who say "LeBron ain't even that nice, let's see him play a pick up game at Dyckman or West 4th?"

It's funny because in Mexico, their wrestling looks like a live-action superhero show while in Japan they treat it like a sporting event that just happens to have a scripted finish. Ironically both scenes are doing better than the American wrestling scene right now attendance-wise.

I'm not saying that's the sole reason but the fact that the view on wrestling is so divided in this thread and on Twitter explains why so many people are disappointed with wrestling.

I'm so glad you point that out and that's one of the things I'll always admire about Japanese Puro

The Japanese recognize and understand the level of damage that one does to their body, just to be able to be good enough to be on television and do this shyt in front of 20,000 people let alone a fukking Wrestlemania where there's a small city in attendance....and they respect it as they should.

 

[Reality Check]

It's mind blowing how progressive politically Cornette is and how much he shyts on Conservatards and Trumpanzees yet he's probably the most old school individual in pro wrestling today.

Bingo. He goes to aew and immediately is the top heel but these dudes rather cry on twitter than make money

I'm with AEW on this one. If you have a guy who shyts on you for years (like he's done with the Bucks and Omega), and you wind up being in a position of power and want to create an organization that is different from the past, why in the world would you want to employ this old man yells at clouds motherfukker? There's a better chance of Vince Russo and Cornette forming a wrestling promotion together than there is of AEW ever bringing in Cornette.

 

[Hey_zeus]

I just found out cornette hates Republicans/conservatives he's alright in my book

He's the perfect example of a liberal racist.

money>>>feelings

the fact that this fukkery trended on twitter shows there is heat there

 

[BlackAchilles]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Sidenote

If they want to have a legit women's tag team division, they need some big monsters to flesh it out ... And between Faye and Jordynne thats a lotta flesh

Big women=Big Money in the 21st century

 

[Grifter]

Chris Jericho didn’t wrestle on every livable continent in nearly every company in the name of art.

He did it to not be home.

 

[Beautiful Bobby Eatin]

Bingo. He goes to aew and immediately is the top heel but these dudes rather cry on twitter than make money

I get that point but Cornette also seems to rather cry on Twitter than make money too so were either at an impasse or were being worked

 

[TheAlbionist]

Of course James E. Cornette with his large online footprint, social media accounts and podcasts hates IWC hipster wrestling.

Just like he hated the Rock n Roll Express.

Al..ways..work..ing.

Why does Corny care if marks like him? He's a heel. He's always been a heel. His whole life has been about pissing the public off so they buy tickets to see him get the shyt kicked out of him. Maybe if one of these kids bit back for the culture instead of just whining and exposing shyt they could actually draw some cash together. Dude would take Priscilla's bloody tampon to the dome if he had a big enough house. He's just constantly testing the waters to see if he's still got heat.... and he... does... even the think-they-smarks get worked by Corny.

 

[JerseyBoy23]

at Cornette and Grace already monetizing this.

Yup, they should stay away from all polarizing old school acts like Cornette, Russo, etc.

 

[Art Barr]

only people who make all these takes on calling things art.
more than likely can not draw a cot damn thing.
if i gave them a pencil and sheet of paper.
only people who can not draw call everything they do art.

if you can not draw you not an artist period.
that goes for painters too.
you can not draw the human body from your mind.
you not an artist, period.

To be honest man, Professional wrestling is looking more and more like Broadway theatre these days.

Maybe it should. Broadway actually makes money.
