      I revisit the old Cornette rants sometimes when I smoke. Makes for good listening. And I laughed when he said that thing about meltzer. Jim was in wrestling during the real rock and roll days when coming across a straight edge guy in the business was an uncommon occurrence. He knows there’s a difference between smoking a spliff and snorting heroin. Also it’s a nicer and more articulate thing to say than: “meltzer is desperate to stay in-touch and feels bad because they name moves after him so he finds nominal things about this cartoon wrestling that he can praise, gives them their stars, and doesn’t say anything about the lows of the match.”

      Honestly, I think the analogy would apply more to the kayfabe era of wrestling since the scandal with them stemmed from the fact that they were presenting themselves as something they were not.
      Modern wrestlers (especially Cornette's talking about here) tend to freely admit they're just putting on a show and it would be more akin to Milli Vanilli openly billing themselves as a karoke act.

      Jim is still hung up in wrestling being seen as "legit" and it never will be again, it's just entertainment.

      Not really. Wrestling has been a joke since the early 80s. It is just entertainment. Jim prefers old school but the thing is that's all been done before a million times and everyone knows it's fake. The new guys don't have much to work with.
      Jim has worked with organizations that have done stuff just as dumb. Jim wants people to respect wrestling the way he does and that's never going to happen. He's going to have an aneurysm the way he gets worked up over this dumb shit.

    I must admit that this does my heart good. Over the years, my son and I have met many wrestlers, and they've almost all been great. I won't even try to list all of them that were gracious, patient and humble. I do want to single out Roddy Piper as the most gracious one of all, and mention Melina, who was a sweetheart despite what I've read of her reputation. But there were two exceptions. One, very surprisingly, was Tommy Dreamer, but I can excuse that because he was quite busy trying to run a House of Hardcore event. The one I can't excuse was Chuck Taylor. He was a straight up prick. When I approached him, I mentioned that I had been following Dan Barry in a local promotion and thought, since they both did comedy on the side, that they might make an interesting tag team. I was brushed off in the snottiest, most dismissive manner, only to see, maybe a year later, the two of them doing some talk show together. Taylor looks like a clown when he comes out from the curtain, and contributes virtually nothing. So, Corny, thanks for this bitch slap, it's well deserved.

If you don't believe in God that's perfectly fine but he just never misses a chance to rattle on about how stupid and disconnected he thinks people are for believing in it. When it comes to that subject by all means state your opinion, but say you're an atheist and leave it at that. I don't rattle on about how stupid I think people are for thinking that the whole world and universe just materialized out of nothing and that people just popped up on their own. I respect people's opinions on that subject and leave it at that. Naturally jim doesn't give a shit he speaks his mind with no filter, and that's fine but that's one thing that turns me off from his videos and why I don't watch them so much anymore.

    One of the only things about corbette that bugs me is that he always goes to the milli vanilli example and doesn't understand how pro wrestling that story actually is. He doesn't know that everyone involved were actual, tallented musicians just with bad physique or just not in the right place at the right time. That the producers hid the ugly singers with a couple if body guys so they could get over. That the grammy's don't matter and the music industry is all phonies anyway. That everyone was lipsyncing anyway.
    And last is supposed to be a big music guy and has never talked about this.
