"Jim Cornette on Travis Heckel Quitting"
Jan. 9th, 2026 12:22 amThis is the first Jim Cornette podcast clip (from back in August) that I've listened to in good long while, and it's one of the saddest things I've heard in a good long while.
Context: Travis Heckel was the thumbnail artist for the Jim Cornette Experience for many years. He was friends with both Jim and Brian Last for many years. At some point, Travis Heckel apparently decided that it was a good idea to start posting incredibly asinine and ludicrously looney Trumpanzee dogshit on social media. At some point after that, Jim Cornette found out about it. Travis Heckel decided that posting MAGAt insanity on the Internet was apparently more important to him than continuing to work for Jim Cornette (as in, Heckel chose to quit rather than to stop being a fucking jackass). As such, Travis Heckel no longer works for Jim Cornette. This video explains the whole thing, at least from the perspective of Jim Cornette and Brian Last, anyway. (And, honestly, I don't give a flying fuck about what Travis Heckel's perspective on the matter may be at this point, because fuck him.)
Also, in this clip, Jim Cornette is, to put it mildly, as characteristically unkind toward the current President as he ever has been, which was nice to hear. The sad part was that they talked about Travis Heckel almost as if he was a victim of some terminal disease, more than a villain or, you know, just some stupid dipshit saying stupid dipshit things, which is... probably not entirely inaccurate, to be charitable. The RWNJ lie-manufacturing apparatus has had a very long time to corrupt people, way before Trump ever came down that goddamned golden escalator, and it's still running to this day at excess capacity, after all.
Anyway, in conclusion, to hell forever with Donald Trump and with those in charge of maintaining the perpetual RWNJ lie-spewing machine that inflicts brainrot in people like, apparently, Travis Heckel, and the sooner the better, as usual.
