Oh my, that is Corny's wife? He forced his OVW Superstars to have HER? Good gawd.

I strongly feel that nobody should be banished and lose their job for a dumb ass joke from 4 years ago

Maybe they legit "fine" him if they have to but I really hope they don't actually fire him... incredibly bad precedent to set... And punishment is way too severe for the "crime"... People who want to ruin people's lives for a joke from years ago are psycho imo... I'm sure he's "learned his lesson"... Some people are just out for blood though...

Apologized... Hopefully people will let it be... Lots of people attacking him in the replies of course... what more do they want...

That being said that was an insanely dumb thing to say in 2k16 . . .

He admits to Hot Tub Parties. He admits to being a swinger (which I am going to need a shit barrel of brain bleach for). He denies the allegations. And... I think that's the reason why I believe him. He admits to so much crazy shit he has done (up to and including threatening to kill people), that why would he lie on this? |

Mm... I like Jim and he's innocent until proven guilty. But I listened to a bit of him on the matter, and he immediately relied on discrediting the people and just really petty things to prove he didn't do any coercing.
I hope he's proven innocent in all this shit, but his side of the story isn't all that exonerating in nature. |

Everyone could be lying.
Everyone probably is to some degree over the Corny stuff. |

"Still getting heat after 40 years"
That's definitely a Cornette response to allegations of sexual abuse. |

But Khan has to do something. Firing might be harsh. Just do what WWE did with the forgotten sons and their push (a different topic) but send him down the ladder a little bit and have him work his way back up. |

According to the many worlds theory, there exists universes where Cornette had a lawyer run through his statements before his podcast.
I imagine that, in all of them, the lawyer said something to effect of "Okay, say absolutely none of this." So I can only assume this is his lawyer: |

i agree with the anti AAA crowd. Mob rule is the way to go. The angriest person is right. Accusation is truth.

It would be one thing if Sammy made a threat or was insinuating violence in some way. He was clearly joking. It wasn't a particularly tasteful joke but it was obvious to anybody watching that he clearly was not serious.

Sasha Banks and nobody else would have ever heard of this random podcast interview from 4 years ago... Seems more harmful to suddenly make it go viral in an attempt to get someone in trouble

Its also important there is no path to redemption. We should label them irredeemable scum and black list them from any meaningful existence.

I've always said that if you're cool when something happens like this to somebody then you'd have to be alright with it happening to yourself. I'm willing to bet at least half of the people that cheer this shit on would shit bricks if it happened to them. It isn't implausible for somebody that has posted here since they were a teenager, for instance, to suddenly gain some public notoriety. Somebody with 50k posts has surely said something fucking retarded at some point.

But I understand why his firing might happen. I'm not big on cancel culture, but surely Sammy is responsible for his own actions. This is the free market y'all love so much. It could benefit AEW to cut ties, so that's what they might do. It might not be worth the headache to them. |

Cornette's podcast is fucking wild...
Corny just openly talking about his wife's ass pictures and their open marriage. "Groomed by Manscape" He seems pretty confident, no hint of any fear. Hopefully it is just a load of shit. |

I think Sasha accepting his apology was enough. But if the company felt the need to take action, that's the way to do it

Cornette calling everybody “marks” whilst also claiming his name has been dropped in all this shit because he has “legit heat” GTFOH

Also, I've said some questionable shit in my days. And I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure even at my dumbest, that I didn't go on a public forum and start making rape jokes. I mean Jesus christ that's dumb. I might have, in which case, color me a moron. But I have to think I was never that flagrantly stupid. Then again, I've said some fucked up shiznit on the wrestling forum that's pretty mean to people. So god knows how that would be construed. |

The problem w/ cancel culture is it will come for everyone at some point....Live long enough to die a hero or see yourself become the villain
Everyone, absolutely everyone, has said or done something stupid/offensive/cruel at some point. I went to high school w/ people who dropped the f word daily and now are very Pro-LGBTQ. People change, people grow. It's not instant. If you cancel everyone for everything no one gets to change or grow. Twitter, in particular, does not separate when it comes to people saying offensive/dumb things and committing horrible things, like assault/abuse. Cancel culture wants them all gone. Hold people accountable for what they say - but do NOT crucify people for crimes they didn't commit. |

I was like “what’s the link between saying ‘fuck’ and being pro-LGBTQ?”

People also clearly get off on canceling people, which is a big issue.
Literally, the moment something "cancel-worth" happens, some of the replies on Twitter are bonechilling. They def get off on the power. |
