He is right. One good example is Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar in 2002 before the Hell in a Cell match. It was such a good story and rivalry until they had to come up with some soap opera bullshit about Taker having an affair with a woman and cheating on his wife Sara or something. That rivalry DID NOT need that at all.

I'm not a big fan of Cornette, but god dang he is fantastic at this. I disagree with most/all of his match reviews, but I do agree some of these stories are forced. I think the writers forget that the wrestlers are just that, WRESTLERS. In order to convey a contrived complex story like Jim says "burning someone's house down, and kidnapping their dog" you'd need to hire professional ACTORS to convey that story. 97% of professional WRESTLERS are NOT professional ACTORS, so it's hard to make a story like that believable.

The problem with stories, is no new talent can ever come in. In the old days, the opening matches were just up & coming wrestlers. The curtain jerkers and jobbers. Eventually one of them would slowly move up the card. Now, a wrestler can't come onto a show without some kind of story and something to pop a rating.

Boogeyman and Leviathan were never depicted to have supernatural powers or any of that kinda shit in OVW. Boogeyman was just a crazy person who thought he was the Boogeyman. Then he went to WWE and the TV writers gave him magic powers. The Ninja Turtle thing is another good example. It was a one off untelevised spot show for charity where a chicken shit heel manager got his ass kicked by a guy in a Ninja Turtle costume to get a pop out of the kids. TV writers would have put it on TV in front of the world week after week having competitive matches with actual wrestlers, and they would have played it off like it was a real life Ninja Turtle. There's the difference. It's all about presentation.

He doesn't travel anymore, it could only happen if they go where he is.

The reason PPV BUYS ARE DOWN is cuz they cost too much. The era of buying a PPV is dead. AEW is learning that the hard way, people don’t have 40-60 dollars a month to watch a PPV every month. Smartest thing WWE did was go the streaming route, all wrestling promotions should do the same

Cornette was really passionate about that miscarriage moment, and repeated it many times. I wonder if he and his ex had to endure that back in the day.

I didn't think he would do another of these. This is awesome.

I dont care if he's right or not sometimes, I just love hearing him go off lol

Kane is a great example of this. During his introduction, he was a disfigured monster assumed dead coming to the wrestling business as a means to have his vengeance on his brother he believed set the fire that disfigured him, and he wanted to kill the Undertaker, set him on fire and didn't care who he burned or crippled in the process. Then the Katie Vick angle happened and Kane got a new backstory where he was in high school getting beaten up during wrestling and his girlfriend Katie Vick being his only support who he apparently he murdered (later revealed to be a car accident). Kane already had multiple attempted murders under his belt, was anyone supposed to care he might've killed someone in the past? Then there was the Lita rape, pregnancy and miscarriage storyline.

Jim cornette is a legend but if wrestling stayed the way he wanted there would be virtually no companies left today

I like Corny. I really do. WWF was losing to WCW in ratings because of the way he wanted to book. Wrestling was getting boring because of booking like the 80s. Everyone can sh!t on Vince Russo but man. Wrestling was so much fun when the attitude era was in effect.

Bottom line, all the tricks have been compromised. Like a magician that exposes all the secrets. It's also redundancy, same stuff over and over. But these are just casualties of time and technology. The wrestling shows have one thing going now, that is the new or newer generations of fans, that pretty much is it. Today's shows is all they know. One thing that I felt worked or use to was controversial storylines with real life similarities. If it is realistic people can identify with it. So much is so unrealistic. There are a few good ideas, the Bloodline is another faction, a good one and original, in other words, it isn't a relauched Four Horseman or NWO thing where immediately the revamped is not as good as the original. Or trying to make things a gender equality venture like Horsewomen. Men and women are not the same in the wrestling business and fans that think it is are just pretending it is. I don't like pretending something is good. It either is good or it isn't.

The fired and retirement angles were ruined when Vince started 'firing' people from 1998.

I half agree with corny. Yes, stories are stupid now, but doing simple stories doesn't sell. People doesn't have the same attention span and is not attracted to a tv for something simple, people love multi character arcs and shit. Also, ppv buys are not necessarily disappearing only because the product is bad, also because the model has changed, no one buys ppvs anymore

AEW and WWE need to start putting a strong focus on the main event scene and actually have angles like The Bloodline storyline and The New Elite storyline, but making it the main attention of the show. Now and days, talent waste their ring ability on meaningless matches only a handful of people whom watch nothing but Tokyo Dom 7 star rated matches in the weekly shows instead of preserving that for the PPVs.

The Godfather was a more legit gimmick than most people would ever think, especially in the late 90's. Look up the "Player Ball". It's an annual event where pimps from all over the country gather. Gpdfather isn't a stupid gimmick at all. Golddust was a stupid gimmick. That whole gimmick was legitimately a rib on Dustin Rhodes. It was Vince McMahon's way of saying "Ha ha! How do you like that, Dusty?!" I don't care if it had people laughing or not, wrestling isn't supposed to be a comedy show. Organic comedy is fine, but bullshit like that is low rent and makes the whole business look like a clown show. The reason shows are like that these days is because too marks have been allowed to book shows. For the most part, people have completely lost the plot on what the pro wrestling business even is. I can promise you this. Today's wrestling business is not the same business I grew up loving. It's dead and gone unfortunately.
