>>19705910I don’t really like Corny’s promos. It’s all some variation of your sister was the town bicycle, your think you’ve been in a fight before well this Wednesday at the Sportatorium you’re gonna get a fight and you and your incredibly ugly mother will never forget it. I can appreciate it for what it is, but it belongs to a bygone era I don’t really engage with.
I think he’s much better with a mic just talking on a podcast (with a cohost to play off of) than he ever was as a promo in the ring or in a pre taped segment. He reminds me of a genuinely funny person that’s not very funny as a stand up comic. There are comics who are much funnier just shooting the shit but when they do their material on stage I don’t find them funny. That’s what Cornette reminds me of.
My main exposure to him was WWF as a kid but then going back and watching stuff from Crockett and southern territories. Maybe I’m missing the really good stuff but nothing impressed me. Surely nothing that seems like it would cause a riot.
