This week’s episodes of The Jim Cornette Experience and Jim Cornette’s Drive-Thru podcasts have some real humdingers. Jim Cornette shared his thoughts on Seth Rollins’ recent comments on CM Punk, as you can see below:
“So it sounded like he [Seth Rollins] was mocking the people that say he’s [CM Punk] a cancer and he should stay away at everything because of the funny voice. If that was supposed to be a burial of somebody, it wasn’t a good one because everybody was still asking, ‘He really mean that or is he just saying it?’ Because it’s so cartoony in such a way that… Again one would assume that Seth “Freakin” Rollins would know that if Punk was to show up in that company, probably he would be one of the first people he’d work with, and it would f***king draw mega attention. So I don’t know if I’d be pi**ing Punk off before he even has a chance to happen.”
Cornette also reviewed the latest developments in the feud between MJF and Bryan Danielson on last week’s episode of AEW Dynamite.
You can check out some excerpts from the podcast(s) below:
On MJF’s promo announcing Timothy Thatcher as Bryan Danielson’s opponent: “It gets old when we say this, but he’s [MJF] two levels above everybody else verbally. It’s his own material, he delivers it with emotion – in a lot of cases you can buy that he’s rattling it off the top of his head. That’s what happens when you’re doing your own s**t, not something somebody else told you to say. Nobody else is this good at cutting a biting heel promo.”
On the backstage brawl between MJF and Konusuke Takeshita on Dynamite: “After what I saw next, nothing means as much. Because now MJF – the one guy that ought to be protected – they’re in the back of the arena, him and [Takeshita], and a bunch of people run in and pull them apart and suddenly here comes Renee Moxley Good with a microphone and everybody stops to listen. The way it was done was so visually and obviously phony.”
On Bryan Danielson vs Timothy Thatcher on Dynamite: “From the bell on this one the professionalism of the work, the approach, the presentation was ten levels above anything else so far on the program. Both these guys know what they are doing. They had the wrestling, they had the striking, they had the little things, the timing and the pace. It was an athletic contest.”
