Jim Cornette / Mick Foley

Comparing practicing comedy wrestling to being a practicing Nazi is an absolutely braindead assessment.

I haven't seen Dunne's promotion, so I can't comment on that. I do disagree with your assessment of Cornette and "his" business. Cornette is one of the least selfish dudes in the industry. I think that's a huge part of what pisses him off today -- the "kids" are selfish in trying to "get their shit in" and undercut the main event guys, for example. It's selfish to "go into business for yourself" and do comedy stuff while the main event dudes are trying to get seriously over. "Fuck the positives?" Maybe. I think Cornette sees the positives pretty clearly, but what are the positives to swinging your dick around like it's a magic rod? I think Cornette has effectively weighed the "positives" of that approach against the positives of another approach, and demonstrated how it's not that positive.

It comes down to 15-year-old boy syndrome to me. There are people who think that bad for the sake of becoming good is good, but it's really just bad. Or, if it does effectively masquerade, it's only good until something good comes along.
