The people who I know who are into wrestling absolutely hate him and think he's so past it. Which is kind of emblematic of the issues of today's characterless, suspension of disbelief destroying wrestlers.
When I was still into it I used to listen to his podcasts. I'm glad to know I'm not his only fan.
I understand your perspective, but I can't say I feel anywhere near as strongly as yourself. It's only wrestling. When I stopped liking it as much I just stopped watching; there's no point getting angry over something that's supposed to be entertainment.No, they just don't understand how wrestling actually works. AEW should just be renamed Abject Entitled Wankers, special guest starring appearances by half a dozen people who actually know what they're doing to try and lend an air of credibility.
A billionaire's play thing but the difference is this billionaire doesn't have 40 years of industry credit in the bank.
watched 55 seconds and I already hate Orange Cassidy and can confirm Jim Cornette is completely right as usual.
Dreadful parodical shite.

Yeah that's like Cornette isn't it? I completely understand your position.I've watched part of the clip, it pissed me off, I will never see it again.
It's only anything in life, I just dislike people who make a mockery of stuff I have enjoyed.

Finisher spam, a million near falls, spotfests, characters like Joey Ryan, King Meltzer, constant kayfabe breaking (this is what the straw that broke my back), over emphasis on athleticism, the rise of entitled smarks, shitty/no selling, 50/50 booking, cool heels, wrestlers who look like shit, wrestlers who look like I could beat them in a fight, 50 suicide dives a match and probably more. If I'd grown up watching the stuff of the territorial days I'd be in despair watching the modern stuff.
Like I've said personally I can't get too wound up. But I 100% get your perspective, if I have it right at least.
Actually you're wrong mate. Wrestling is back! ;)
That's the kayfabe I've missed haha!really hates that god damn mat.
