>>14463918Pearce shoot hates the Elite and Adam Page in particular, to the point that his retirement angle in ROH basically was him ritually humiliating/brutalizing Adam Page because Page was THAT much of a piece of shit backstage that rather than have Pearce put over Page, they forced Page to job to Pearce in humiliating fashion in Pearce's last match.
So yeah, of course he's a huge Jim Cornette stan since like him, he knew the Elite back when they were obnoxious nobodies and can't stand how they've gaslit everyone into thinking they are the second coming of Bruno Samartino.
