Seriously what the fuck jim.
he has been an awful piece of shit for years now. hopefully this time it will stick
anyway I am going to the Dynamite “mudshow” tonight in Indianapolis and the card is so stacked. looking forward to it
drop dave lasagna and billy corgan next please https://twitter.com/nwa/status/1197167033974218759
the show isn’t even live, they pre-taped it and decided it was alright in the first place before taking it down and re editing again
i couldn’t get into NWA Powerr knowing Jim was on it, there’s already enough good wrestling to watch these days (with performers this guy talks shit about all the time), so i didn’t need this. they hired this old asshole who makes suck ass tweets to get people talking and sure enough it succeeded.
this might be a cynical thing to say, but it seems more likely to me that they’d always intended to upload it, get a bunch of attention and quickly say “oops sorry” and upload the version without the line. though maybe that really is just cynicism, since the show was somehow pretty popular already.
i know a lot of people won’t agree with this, but cornette spends years telling everyone else they’re making a joke of wrestling, then he’s commentator on a show that’s in the exact style he’s been championing all this time, and it’s like an ill-informed comedy sketch show making a parody of wrestling. plus the crowds are significantly smaller than the ones in the nightclub outlaw mudshows he says will never ever draw a dime.
augh

I’m one of those people who refuses to believe 205 Live or NXT UK actually exist and tonight I finally realized why: every one of the alleged-humans who wrestle on these fake programs looks like they were made in the Dark Souls character editor.

That or they look like they are the lead singer of a pop punk band from 2005

i’ll take Mauro’s infinitely more entertaining reference work on the call 100 times out of 100 over Corey Graves yelling at Renee or being a smug prick dipshit about “the rules of punk rock”

Yeah Corey’s schtick was fun like 3 or 4 years ago, but has gone nowhere since then and only gotten more irritating. Mauro is just so much more entertaining and even when he gets out a groaner, that is still more of a reaction than I can muster for most other commentators ever.
Mauro and Graves have both devolved to the point that we’d likely be better off if they both just went away, but I think that is just part of the lifespan of a WWE commentator: someone gets in your ear, you turn up the stuff you initially did well up to 11 and make it annoying to even sit through, etc. Like people forget that initially JBL was a wonderful breath of fresh air on commentary, I think the only one who ever maintained their level for any stretch of time was Booker T and that’s because he’s always been flawed and bizarre in a way that I think is immune to those specific pressures.
TNA! TNA! TNA!
I found a video copy of one of my favorite little known matches (favorite is distinct from good, but I love it) so if we ever do one of those wrestling group watches again when I’m around I’ll have something to share with said group.

We doing a Wednesday night thing this week? I am pretty sure I am down for it if so.
I am likely not gonna be around early enough on Wednesday evenings for at least the next couple weeks, but I don’t think the vid is going anywhere so… someday.
I’ve been sick the last few days but if I’m healthy enough I’d really love to

We’ll see if we can get a stream going but if not…picture-in-picture time, maybe?
Edit: Good news there’s a totally legit Russian stream going.
think about this a lot
