Zeus 02/11/21 1:27:48 AM #169:	The Wave Master posted... ** Cornette claimed he came up with the idea for the "Montreal Screw Job" which effectively killed Kayfabe forever. Before that night very few people knew Vince was behind WWE, but after that night the secret was out, and if he did have a hand in the plot for what happened, then he created the monster of modern day pro wrestling that he claims to hate; which is fine and ironic. While I can't remember him claiming that (nor was the idea new), it wouldn't have been his fault either way. The people who exposed the business were Brett -- who Cornette criticized for doing -- and, after Brett had talked, VKM. And Cornette was adamantly against VKM exposing the business (when he should have just called Brett a liar) and thought his handling was idiotic, so I can't imagine he would claim to have suggested that. More importantly, that did less to expose the business than Duggan & Sheik getting caught smoking pot together or the Curtain Call, both of which happened earlier. The Wave Master posted... Basically Cornette is the old man yelling at the young kids to turn down their rap music and to get off his lawn. Things will never go back to the style of wrestling he prefers and he just needs to accept that reality. Mainly because that style of wrestling wasn't that great to begin with, and kayfabe further died with the internet age. Sure it got pushed forward that night in Montreal, but it was going to happen sooner or later anyway. Instead now it's the style that most people take one look at, laugh, and change the channel. The Wave Master posted... AEW is the best when you combine story and quality wrestling. lolwut? The Wave Master posted... But don't listen to Cornette spew his hatred and out of context stupidity. There's no context that would make a lot AEW's stupidity palpable. The Wave Master posted... Watch a show from beginning to end and then make a decision. Where are the full episodes available? I don't see the full ones listed on the YT channel, just clips. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:950513278] in Geekacea: ...
