Exposing The Hypocrisies of Jim Cornette
Exposing The Hypocrisies of Jim Cornette
April 21, 2016
By Ryan Porzl
Jim Cornette is a legend in the wrestling business and has been involved in the business for four decades while becoming sort of a messiah to the internet wrestling fans largely for his entertaining shoot interviews and DVDs where he unleashes his verbal venom on certain targets. However, Cornette shown also be known for being hypocritical as well as very outdated. In the last ten years, he's burned one bridge after another all the while talking about the death of wrestling and whining about one thing after another. Don't me wrong, I can find Cornette entertaining as he can be funny and is never boring but after the same thing for 10+ years if not more, it's old. What's even worse is that Cornette and old school wrestling isn't pure as snow. Like a lot of people, Cornette views the past through rose colored glasses but it's gone too far for so long. I probably should've wrote this a long time ago but I finally decided to call Cornette out on his BS as I'll go through his talking points and debunk them while showing he & old school rasslin isn't any better than the wrestling he despises today.

Prince - Trust (Batman, 1989 Soundtrack)
In tribute to Prince and the fact that this year will be the 240th birthday for the United States, we should do a Joker Parade.
Batman (1989): Joker Museum Scene
Can't say I was a Prince fan but I'll always remember him for the songs he did for the 1989 Batman like Party Man and Trust.

JJ Jackson MTV 1984
Today would've been the 75th birthday of original MTV VJ J.J. Jackson. Jackson was one of the first MTV VJs along with Nina Blackwood, Alan Hunter, Martha Quinn, and Mark Goodman. I never watched much MTV but from the clips I've seen, Jackson seemed like a cool dude who knew his stuff but I'll always remember him for hosting the segment where KISS took the makeup off on September 18, 1983. Sadly, he passed away on St. Patrick's Day 2004 which prevented him from reuniting with the other original VJs on Sirius Satellite Radio.
Jake Roberts interviews BlackJack Mulligan
Sad to hear about the passing of WWE Hall of Famer and former WWE World Tag Team Champion Blackjack Mulligan at 73. Mulligan, of course, best known for his tag team The Blackjacks with Blackjack Lanza but also had lots of success in singles competition. Mulligan was also the patriarch of the Windham/Rotunda wrestling family which includes son-in-law Mike "I.R.S." Rotunda, sons Barry and Kendall Windham, and grandsons Bray Wyatt & Bo Dallas. Here's an awesome clip of him. Before CM Punk was talking about ice cream bars, Blackjack was the king of pimping WWE Ice Cream Bars.

Saw Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice last night and I really liked it. I was a little worried given the negative reviews but I didn't think it was bad at all and didn't get why so many critics hated it. I thought the acting was good, the visuals were good, the costumes, and fight scenes were all good. Ben Affleck pulled a Michael Keaton as people were skeptical but in the end, he did very well. Don't get me wrong, Keaton will always be my favorite Batman but he still did good. Cavill was good as Superman and Gal Gadot did good as Wonder Woman though we didn't see as much of her. Doomsday looked great though I wish he had some costume or his green shorts as he reminded me of Dr. Doom from the original Fantastic Four. I kind of enjoyed Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor as he's kind of nutty and goofy which he does well and I like they tried something a little different then the same Lex Luthor we've seen countless times since Gene Hackman. It reminded me of Penguin from Batman Returns where they tried something different instead of the same old, same old. The stuff with Batman was a huge improvement over Christopher Nolan's stuff. The costume looks way better instead of the DK and DKR ones where he looked like he had a skinny neck and fat head. The Batmobile looked awesome and The Batwing looked good too. I also liked the time. Unlike The Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises, I felt this movie needed to be 150 minutes and never dragged while telling the story. I also liked how the movie was dark as it seems like the DC Universe will have a different tone than Marvel and thus won't come off as a ripoff. My only negative was Hans Zimmer's score. I've never been into his music with the Nolan trilogy and it's very forgettable. Having also done Man of Steel, this is his fifth DC Comic movie and I think they need someone new. They should try to find someone that can capture the magic of Danny Elfman's amazing scores and have that brooding music but also stuff that's blood pumping, sad, beautiful, and epic depending on the scene. As for those who complain it was too dark, I would ask have they learned anything from Batman & Robin? If not then go watch that or the 60s show (which is good but still). I recommend Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Not the greatest superhero movie but still good.
