>>13827488Cornette's obsession with realism in a fake sport is why he's always going after japanese wrestlers. Japan embraces the cartoony and over-the-top aspect of wrestling, while Jim runs from it because he's a con man carny in his heart. AEW fans like Riho BECAUSE she's ridiculous, the idea is that she's some kind of abnormal schoolgirl-looking chick that weighs 90 pounds that can somehow beat trained fighters. That's the APPEAL, which he hates and cannot see because it's the evolution and consequential inverse (because of the internet mainly) of pro wrestling of the past. The Undertaker, who he totally loves and respects, was a step in that process, but he has severe cognitive dissonance and can't admit that.
Anyway, everyone is in on it now, it's over Jim. You can't protect the business anymore because it's not what it used to be, which was, while beautiful in its own way, something created to fool people. WWE on the top level somewhat keeps that flame alive so he should just stick to jerking off Roman Reigns or whatever
