Skye Reynolds 12/29/17 12:41:43 AM #23:	Speaking of pro wrestling, Jim Cornette hates anything having to with religion and he's one of the most entertaining wrestle talk personalities. I don't listen to him on his ridiculous assumptions about religion, but I enjoy hearing him talk about the territory days or what he sees as being wrong with the current state of pro wrestling. I don't always agree with him, but I'm almost always entertained by him. It's not like I make a list of musicians, actors, authors, etc., and only partake in the media featuring like-minded individuals. <cite>Skye Reynolds posted [p:893047448] in why do Jes...
