Moderators PowerButchi Posted February 16, 2021 Moderators Posted February 16, 2021 A marvellous thread
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted February 16, 2021 Author Paid Members Posted February 16, 2021 Fucking brilliant!
WyattSheepMask Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 First we had ‘Is Test Still Dead?’, now comes ‘Is Teddy Hart In Jail?’
Paid Members Chris B Posted February 17, 2021 Paid Members Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Having not heard of her until last week, I am now a huge Maki Itoh fan. She's hilarious. Foul-mouthed and emotional, consumed by her failures but convinced that she will be even greater. Her introductory tweet to AEW was 'HELLO MOTHERFUCKERS'. She also has complete (and rightful) disdain for her fanbase, particularly her male fanbase. She is happy to put up thirst/weirdly-fetishy pictures, but calls all her fans simps (including Jon Silver, and she's now retweeting lots of calls for her to be involved with the Dark Order). And it turns out Jim Cornette, shockingly, doesn't get her at all. Her (NSFW) response: Spoiler Cornette is not ready for someone this good at social media. She couldn't make much more clear how little his opinion matters to her. Brilliant stuff. Edited February 17, 2021 by Chris B
Moderators PowerButchi Posted February 17, 2021 Moderators Posted February 17, 2021 He's probably made up about this at the moment. All those shiny new views on youtube for his opinions he has for ad coin.
The King Of Swing Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 Itoh and Cornette both know their fansbases. "Twinkletoes" fucking hell that's shit.
Chili Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Of all the people to still bust out the phrase 'J**' about an Asian worker, I absolutely would chuck a fiver on Cornette accidentally rolling it out while he does his million word rant. Cornette, he's like the wrestling uncle we loved because you knew no better and he knew all this cool knowledge and was a bit of a character, now some people would have preferred if his laptop had been raided and he vanished forever than a weird ranting bloke. He's got no goodwill left to piss away. Still, it's a living. Not an attempt to body shame here, I don't want it seen that way, but Cornette is such an odd shape for a human too. Watch him, I can't figure it out, it reads weird. Edited February 17, 2021 by Chili
The King Of Swing Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 Does his YouTube channel actually make money? Just had a quick scan through his channel and he rarely seems to break 70k views anymore (best I've seen being about 100k) and doesn't even have 200k subs. Maybe someone with more knowledge will correct me but isn't it basically only massive and long established channels raking in the cash, these days?

He wouldn't be doing so many adreads if he wasn't.
The King Of Swing Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 Oh yeah adreads, good point. I got them mixed up with basic YouTube ads.
Yakashi Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 Cornette is a very, very smart man. He knows exactly what he is doing. There is an anti AEW and moves and flips audience out there that he aims this stuff at and he’s making a packet from them. He’s tremendous on the historical stuff and then he goes into his gimmick and I just turn my brain off and marvel at how easily he achieves what he wants. So many people saying how he’s irrelevant yet they can’t stop talking about him. He’s obviously a complete prick. But when he goes into his gimmick I just see him as a fake wrestling character, no different from the berserker.

He's aiming at the people who love that stuff and flip their lids everytime he takes the piss out of Marko Stunt. Because they can't help themselves. Edited February 18, 2021 by Devon Malcolm
Moderators PowerButchi Posted February 18, 2021 Moderators Posted February 18, 2021 He's an old carny. Considering he pretends he doesn't watch anything unless Brian Last shows it him there's very few names he's not familiar with when brought up. And the chance of having a pop at a Japanese woman who's a bit avant garde is money for him, and will be money for her going forward. Fair play to them both. Twitter and podcasts are the few places it's still a work.
