Zeus is a Jim Cornette mark,

No, it's the other way around. I listen to him BECAUSE he shares my opinions on shitty wrestling. He draws in listeners who have eyes. Before I learned AEW was a thing, I kept getting shared clips of ridiculous botches and stupid nonsense, which I hadn't realized was all from the same promotion. It wasn't until I saw a clip of Jericho with Top Flight (who are so fucking awful, by the way) that I wound up learning AEW was a thing and re-discovering Cornette.

is thus morally obligated to hate Kenny Omega and everything he's even remotely involved with, no matter what it actually is.

Dave Meltzer and the Kenny marks are what first got me to dislike Kenny. They hyped this guy up to the moon, then I watched some of his shitty matches.

Kenny Omega could save a dozen orphans from a burning building, and Cornette would accuse him of setting the fire, then complain about the invisible man and 9-year old Japanese girls for a half-hour.

And even after we learned Kenny set that fire while wrestling a 9 y/o girl, you'd defend him and point out all of the fires he didn't start while getting handsy with children.

But my point was, it doesn't really matter how unreliable the original source is if much more reputable people come out later and say "Yes, I verified this with my own sources, it's true."

No, almost all of them are circling back to the same awful primary source. If it was coming from Meltzer -- who is to close to AEW these days he's widely believed to be on the payroll -- that'd be one thing. However, all of this is coming from the same disreputable source.
