You'd never let Cornette run a modern company. Even without his personality faults. That being said, a lot of what he says is right. There is a lot to be learned from his podcasts.

This is a man who thinks the Omega vs Okada matches were bad for "exposing the business".
Nice. I'm hoping they finally run a show in Denver since Sinclair is buying Tribune, who owns the local Fox and CW stations. That's usually how ROH decides which new markets to run; they wait for their parent company to buy a TV station there, put ROH TV on it, then see how the ratings look.
Uhh I'm pretty sure he's never claimed that those matches exposed the business. He thinks Omega is a goofball who has done stuff to expose the business in the past (DDT comedy matches). I think he also hates omega because he cancelled an roh date back when cornette was working for them, only to show up on that date booked in Japan.
As far as the angle cornette uses to claim Omega exposes the business...I think he's kind of grasping at straws. I'm pretty sure Omega's 6-Star classics aren't any of those straws.
Okada & Omega 2017 will be viewed same as Flair & Steamboat among those in Carolinas in 1977. Reaction is identical. Most loved them, big business, old-timers said they were fake & killing business with all their high spots. Kids grew copying, became template for great work.
Flair & Steamboat were grown ass men, hitting each other hard & working at the highest level in the sport, & never exposed the business in their matches or outside the ring. These jackoffs are kids playing wrestler & laughing at how they tell people it's fake. They're a disgrace.
No, he literally said it

That wasn't a criticism of the match itself.
Doctor Doom Cody Rhodes was awesome.
I've been saying it for years but NJPW is head and shoulders above the second best promotion in the world right now. And as the second best, ROH is head and shoulders above the third best.
Lucha Underground is on the same level but that's really just a TV show and not a proper promotion.
WWE is a plague on this business. All they do is take great talent from better promotions and immediately get to work ruining what makes them special. Like Karl Anderson. Has he done ANYTHING entertaining since he got to WWE?
Ricochet
Officially?

Has Karl Anderson ever done anything entertaining in his professional career?
