With apologies to T.S. Elliot, please behold Kenny Omega delivering the politest and most Canadian burn in the history of ever.
"Like a patient etherized upon a table. . ." Kenny Omega on Cornette.

Cornette always talks like he knows what's good for "the business" when his promotion failed horribly in the 90s (with a financial backer) and he hasnt done shyt since "Shooting" on Hogan and Piper 20 yrs ago

said what he said
I'm inclined to want to like a fellow liberal atheist from Louisville, but Jim makes it incredibly hard sometimes.
He doesn't understand puroresu in Japan, so he holds this childish grudge...he bashes one of the world's best, based off Delirious's word...and he clings to territorial wrestling conventions, when we're in a new era.
He's so off the mark on Kenny, he crossed into self-parody.

Cornette and Russo should be buried together, side by side

And the thing is, he had his chance to do it his way in the modern era with a great roster…and Cornette Era ROH is the company’s low point. And honestly, ROH’s reputation has never recovered to where it was before (though to be honest, not all his fault, that slide started at the end of Gabe’s run). So like, him continuing to harp on his same points despite being proven wrong is just the worst.

Cornette has a rigid definition of what pro wrestling is and should be. He sounds detached because of this - prowrestling has constantly re-morphed and evolved and he is simply left in the stage of evolution that he belongs to. Kinda like past NBA figures and their adversion to the 3 point shot.

Here's the thing. I'm not completely opposed to Corny. When he's right, he's dead right. But he's got some major blind spots. Starting with the fact that the jig is up. Pro wrestling's attempts to look like a shoot fail because the UFC has shown us what shoot grappling/shoot fighting look like. And it's either short and ugly or long and boring. Pro wrestling doesn't have to be either. The fact that it's not a sport, but a performance artform should be pro wrestling's glory. But Jim can't see that.
