Jim Cornette on Kenny Omega, Video Game Wrestlers & Twitter

If Cornette thinks people are fans of him in 2017 because they are "like minded" he's pretty fucking off base. Cornette's semi-relevant because he's doing an angry man gimmick online. Like anyone agrees with Cornette.

lmao, Joey Ryan look a like in bad 80s porn flicks.

I've seen Omega get a great match out of Toru-fucking-Yano. Cornette has NO point about him. Absolutely none. He just calls him a "video game wrestler" without even TRYING to point out why that is. Look, he has legitimate critique of him, but, for fucks sakes, he has more than redeemed himself by having amazing matches that are, by the way, TREATED 100% LIKE A SHOOT (Him vs Ishii NJCUP, him vs Okada at dominion, him vs Naito G1 26, etc. etc.). His promo-work with New Japan is some of the best in the business right now and he's done more PR Work for NJPW than NJPW could ever have asked him. HE IS THE ENTIRE REASON NJPW WAS ABLE TO HOLD AND SELL OUT AN AUTHENTIC SHOW IN THE USA.

Cornette, if you can't see how good this guy is for business, you're blind, ignorant and egocentric.

Jim you know half the locker room in Memphis wrestled eight year old girls and they are gods to you, Kenny does it actually with pants on and he's a bad guy?

Jim cornette is the Donald trump of wrestling

I agree with what Brian Last said 100 %. Joey Ryan is the one that needs to be the focus of Cornys rants. Omega was young when he did his dumb shit and we've all done stupid shit when we were young. Ryan however is constantly doing his b.s. and dragging real good talents like Cody down to his level of disrepect for all that came before.

just desperate for pr, which is why he is using Omega´s twitter handle in his tweet. This has nothing to do with a ddt match from 7 years ago . Its just Corny needing to be noticed.

That email xD The guy is still a mark.... but a Cornette mark^^

Even Brian is disagreeing with Jim on Omega now.

I'm surprised that in 20 minutes he didn't mention that Kenny Omega isn't a good worker, but he's an incredible WRESTLER. Not that Kenny doesn't work, he does, but it's usually shit like the Young Bucks do. There's a lot of shit that Kenny Omega CAN do that most people just can not. That's why Kenny is going to have an audience and make money as long as he holds the monopoly on having those kinds of matches.

dang Jim cornette is right

I agree on Japanese wrestling, went to an wrestle event, there were good matches, but there was a match with the Jonusu brothers and there 20 finishers and they were not selling it, at that point i had enough and left.

I'm 21 so as a young wrestling fan I guess I fall into the age range of fans that like that hokey silly stupid shit yet I don't I definitely agree with Jim I don't wanna see pro wrestler making an ass of himself and the business wrestling a blow up doll or a little girl if I was in the crowd and saw that shit I would've raised all hell till I got my money back

video game wrestlers?

What the fuck does he mean by 'video game wrestlers' ????

i HATE how cornette says " on THE twitter"... smh. sounds like an old fogie

I agree with 90% of the stuff Cornette says on his podcast, but he is wrong on this one and he didn't get it. It's 2017 and wrestling is no longer what it used to be, everybody knows it's fake, but in his mind is real.

So has anybody simulated Jim Cornette vs Kenny Omega in Fire Pro World yet? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

"They just go off the deep end whenever somebody rattles their fucking cage" Says the man who is known for being an over-reacting angry little bitch about anything that upsets him in the slightest and holds grudges for years against people who don't care about him, interesting..

It's more the fact that the business is not as healthy as it used to be in Japan and North America. Wrestling is cyclical, it's goes through high points and low points... we're still in a low point because of all the hot shotting and exposing of the business in the late-90s, it was the highest point of all time that has been followed by probably the lowest point of all time. There's the ease of access due to the internet for people to be able to watch nearly anything they want from the past, that has become a smart venture for WWE and New Japan with their subscription services but otherwise, no, wrestling just doesn't draw at the box office like it used to.

The only people who stick around are the core wrestling fans who just love the business and can't get enough but within that group, you do have a lot of dumbshits who aren't as "smart" as they think they are so you can't get everyone on the same page to back an ideal or philosophy of wrestling that we can put out there to present to the casual marks as respectable or widely entertaining. Yes, everyone knows it's fake, but you still have to show some respect to what traces of kayfabe are left.

It's illusionary performance art that's supposed to be presenting a believable simulation of a real fight between two individuals we're told hate each other's fuckin' guts. Once in a while someone still gets it right but otherwise, it's treated like a hokey soap opera with cartoon characters and/or it's a bunch of 5 foot tall midgets that no-sell everything and just move from one meaningless flippy floppy high spot to another... and/or it's fuckheads like Joey Ryan with comedy spots and skits that are just fucking embarrassing for everyone involved, including the audience. Endorsing this bullshit is just making the next high point for the business take that much longer to happen because it looks like a sorry pitiful joke that's only digging that hole deeper.

Well Jim 1920's professional wrestling was real before you and all the fake wrestlers came along and made it a job and a show. So is all the fake wrestling that came after that junk since it's all fake? The people now are doing what you did back then making a new era of wrestling and adjusting to the times. Don't be such a hypocrite. You did the same thing when you were young.

that sucks. been a videogame game player for over 30 years too. But if I have to pick, hmmm...well I used d to be a wrestling fan like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee. peace..

Watching all these fucking Japan marks deepthroating Kenny Omega is hilarious.

Mr. Cornette, stay out of politics and stick to wrestling.

Jim Cornette is one of best and respected on air personalitys. Huge fan from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦👊🏾. I agree with you with the start of the Aew battle royal . I didn't buy it after witnessing that. AEW and MLW have put on better shows and ppv then WWF recently...!

The problem with Jim is he thinks he's always right if you don't share his opinion you're stupid whether wrestling or politics he doesn't know how to disagree, he can essentially be classified as a "bigot" (shocker since him and the left like to throw that word around a lot). With Kenny Omega, video game wrestlers, and comedy wrestling I stand with Cornette I agree with what he says however, he takes it too far.

Riho the aew womens champ had here first match at 8 and Kenny Omega had a match with a 8 year old girl >>>>>...... Riho the aew womens champ do we think ??????/

Fuck Kenny o'ninja

Cornette doesn't speak English he speaks wrestling. He calls tagging someone putting someone's gimmick in there

What makes me laugh is it’s republicans who cant stand these indy video game wrestlers. Jim, its 2020 now, the Democrats are the cancel society you grew up hating as a liberal. Its been switched. Leftists are the ones offended by everything and all those little bitches on Twitter sticking up for Kenny Omega, are probably Bernie Sanders supporters lol

Wrestlers want people to think they’re tough but when somebody criticises them they cry and say “if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all.”

start of Kenny Olivier in Corny's cult hahaha

Take her to fucking Chuck E Cheese!!! lmmfao

There is no room for video games in pro-wrestling, the wrestlers should be better than that.

If Omegas punches look any limper he'd be able to get a prescription for the little blue man pills for them.

Imagine Mike Tyson doing the Cabbage Patch when he fought Lennox Lewis. Lewis would have knocked him unconscious even faster than he did. The next time an opponent starts dancing during a match punch them in the fucking mouth.

God, what is it with old, white dudes and hating video games lol?

I'm a video game fan and I think Omega sucks... I'd say it's more the anime/cosplay crowd that love the idiot.

I love the way Corny pronounces fuck

I clicked this but don't want to sit through it. Does he actually talk about video games in this one, lol?

Me right now: Ohhh... Jim doesn't get it. It's not that he hates it because he's smart. He hates it because he's old!

Where it all started

It’s pretty simple. People get upset when cornette lies. Which he does all the time. He’s an old man yelling at the young kids to get of his lawn. Act like there wasn’t stupid bs in the “good old days”. Kenny was just apart of the single best story told in wrestling history and despite what this antique thinks wrestling has always been about telling stories.
The entire point is to get over. Get a reaction. Just like all the heels who live to get that crowd riled up cornette is just proving he’s the biggest Kenny Mark out there.

Is it just me or do these email sound like Jim writes them ?

Like the libtards Jim that just go off when they think they right ??? 🤭

Wow Brian cover my arse what I like last lol fuck double talk king

So true Japanese wrestling was ruined when it was Americanised. It use to have a feel of a big fight now it’s just whatever

Can we be honest for a second... @KennyOmegamanX is a pretty badass, Verified name to be envious of lol

Here we are 5 years later and virtually all of the EVPussies, Jericovid, and Job Botchley's marks are neo nazi's 🤣🤣🤣🤣
