Wow Cornette's last comment about the UFC was stupid

Nothing on the murder of LaParkita and another mini-luchadore in Mexico? That is bigger news than Kim Kardashian's fat, cottage cheese filled ass.

"Wow Cornette's last comment about the UFC was stupid"
Really? The UFC treats wins and losses like they mean something like pro wrestling used to do. Pro wrestling does not now and, hence, any creditability is shot.

I normally agree with Cornette, but this time he's 100% wrong. We know it's fake, Jim. The fans keep watching anyway. This isn't the 50's, 60's, 70's or even the 80's. The type of wrestling he longs for would result in a dead industry today. It's a conservative mindset, the "we fear change" belief. Things DO change. The fans have become more aware of the product and it needs to evolve with the times.
Wrestling has always been backwards on this. Despite the FACT that it is scripted, despite the FACT that it is choreographed, these performers want us to act like it's real. I'm sorry, but that's as retarded as me seeing Keifer Sutherland somewhere and asking him why he's goofing off and not tracking down terrorists.

Wow they are just getting around to burying him now? They should have had HHH handle the funeral cause he can bury anybody in five minutes flat!

I think cornette is right...all of these little things are so important in and of themselves, but the combination of them mean that the wrestlers see themselves as performers instead of wrestlers. and if they don't make it seem real, fans wil care less. our most favorite wrestlers are the ones who made it seem more real...Flair, Hart, Benoit, AJ, Samoa Joe, etc. I think cornette right on the money

um.....that news story was on 411 a couple of days ago.
If you are such a KNOWLEDGABLE wrestling fan, how come you couldn't come up with the other guys name??
And what does Kin Kardashian have to do with anything?

ROFLMFAO!!! Well DONE, Sir!
HHH = The REAL Undertaker . . . Too bad Vince handed out the gimmick before Paul got to the E.
