None of this is surprising, really.

With all of the above said, it makes absolutely perfect sense that Vince McMahon and Donald Trump are essentially two peas in a pod (and are good friends in real life). If only that were the case as far as consequences for one's actions go, too.

Also, let me check, because it's been a while...

...yep, sure enough. Jim Cornette has done a full review of each episode of this thing, too. I haven't watched those yet (which I'll probably do... pretty much starting as soon as I finish this post, so I might edit this or make it its own post later).

Nor have I watched the actual documentary itself (nor do I really have any plans to do so), for what that's worth.

"This week on the Experience, Jim pays tribute to the life and career of his friend, legendary Midnight Express member, 'Beautiful' Bobby Eaton."

Just check the tags on this post. That's all that needs to be said about this video segment, really. It was great.

I'm way more into the Internet and technology than Mr. Cornette is, and I'm not as computer illiterate as he claims to be, but he's still not wrong. And I fucking loathe the telephone, too.

I don't personally give a shit about Twitch myself (aside from the one time I watched Starla Huchton play Skyrim for a bit), but more power to the ones who do. That said, I think that the WWE is full of some Jurassic Park levels of shit here and they have my full permission to eat an entire bag full of dicks.

(EDIT) Also, I don't really agree with Jim Cornette's strict adherence to kayfabe so much, either, especially given that Vince McMahon himself destroyed kayfabe decades ago. So I'm glad that Jim and Brian agree, for the most part, that WWE is in the wrong here. (/EDIT)

(EDIT 2)

Here is where they talked about it before, where Jim was bitching way more about kayfabe or whatever and was way more on WWE's side than he was above:

One of the things that greatly intrigues me about Jim Cornette isn't even directly about Jim Cornette himself. It's the fact that if you (ill advisedly) look in the comments under any of his videos, they are full, just chock full, of the exact sort of asshats that Cornette himself rants against on a regular basis. The Trump supporters, the MRAs, the MGTOWs, the incels, the redpills, the channers, the Irredeemably Toxic Shithole-types, the racists, sexists, homophobes, transphobes, and so on and so forth, yadda yadda, blah blah, ad infinitum, ad absurdum, ad nauseam. These people, for whatever reasons, are simply swarming under most Jim Cornette videos.

And now, here, when Cornette is actually on their side, for once, maybe... tangentially, ostensibly, if you tilt your head and squint really hard... because, in the above video, he is ranting, at least in part, about all the extremist types that live on Twitter, and about how they're all maligning the 80s without having actually lived in the 80s, in the case of most of them... now all of these diametrically opposed numbnuts shitbags are coming out of the woodwork to blast "PC culture" and "SJWs" and... you know... women. Just women in general. I'd say upwards of around 80%, probably, of the people in the comments under any given Jim Cornette video are the types of people that Jim Cornette himself claims to regularly block on Twitter.

And that's just highly curious to me. Cornette has ranted in the past, at great length, about how much he utterly hates Donald Trump and the kind of people that give Donald Trump his power... and yet, there they are, those very same people, always in the comments under his videos, spewing their asinine "Trump 2020"s and their moronic "Liberalism is a mental disorder"s and their imbecilic "So much for the tolerant left"s and their various infantile rants about how women suck or how black people suck (or any non-white people, really) or how gay people suck or how trans people suck or how liberals suck or how Muslims suck or whatever, too often apropos of nothing at all that was actually being discussed in whatever video under which they decided to spew their dumbfuckery.

Now, granted, I know that a lot of them, probably even most of them, are there solely to troll, but a not insignificant number of them seem to genuinely believe that if they can just, like, persuade Jim hard enough, then he will, apparently, finally renounce being a liberal and hop on board the Trump train. I just find that kind of ignorant, delusional nonsense to be highly fascinating. Tiresome and frustrating, too, of course, but highly, morbidly fascinating, all the same. All it really indicates to me, though, is that neither Jim Cornette nor Brian Last do any sort of moderation of the comments under their videos at all, ever, nor have they hired a third party to do it for them, because if they did even a little bit of that, most of these dipshit motherfuckers would have been perma-banned from commenting long ago, just like how Jim claims to block them on Twitter.

Spoiler alert: Mr. Cornette thinks the whole thing is just as asinine (and as hinky) as does anyone else with two brain cells to rub together and even a smidgen of a sense of ethics/morals, which doesn't, apparently, include Vince McMahon or whoever it was he bribed in FL to get this to come to pass.

(Also, just as an aside, lately I've been listening to a metric fuck-ton of the excerpts from the various podcasts that Jim Cornette is a part of. It's rather interesting, whether he and Brian Last are talking about wrestling or politics or food or whatever else. Between Mr. Cornette here and Botchamania, that is all the wrestling content I have consumed, at all, for the past decade or so. I haven't even bought any of the games since probably 2009-2010 or so, and the one recent time I tried to buy one of the newer ones, it didn't work out so well.)
