Topic	Jim Cornette fired from NWA for racism
EverDownward 11/21/19 7:36:32 PM #62:	Southernfatman posted... EnterTheTekken posted... It is a fascinating dichotomy between what Cornette said and the consequences that followed, versus what Vince McMahon said back in 2005 on national television. Or what Randy Orton said a few weeks ago, but it's not really about racism and what's right and wrong, it's about punishing someone for wrongthink. People have been trying to get him fired for his opinions on a lot of modern wrestling and they just can't handle it. They tried months ago trying to make him out to be a sexist, but it didn't stick. They tried to make up some bullshit about him joking about suicide a few weeks ago, but it didn't stick. Now they got this and it worked. mustachedmystic posted... Isn't he popular though? I've never been a big wrestling fan, but I always enjoyed whenever I saw him. Jim's definitely popular, but he's of a mindset that doesn't necessarily exist in pro wrestling anymore. Especially with the fans, the fans (and especially the smart marks) haaate Jim because he represents an era that modern smart marks loath. He doesn't care for the indie darlings, so they go after him. And like southern said, they finally got him on something and can now gloat about it on twitter and wherever else. I personally fucking love Jim, it's just sad that he's such a target in this day and age. --- take me somewhere nice <cite>EverDownward posted [p:930498984] in Jim Cornet...
