I never used to listen to Cornette every week, but I do now. Can’t get enough of his podcasts, honestly.

I burned out after listening to every single episode one after another in a few months. I still listen but it can go a few weeks without. This never happened with Bruce Prichard because of his Vince McMahon impressions.

I liked the Funk vs. Lawler match that was posted... Still very good despite them mostly just "brawling" and punching
The Funk vs. Flair match was cool I guess... Rock n Roll Express vs. Midnight Express match was alright... Lots of "rest holds" / weak submission attempts... Re: the "doing things that look fake" argument, wrestling rest holds are one of the most annoying things to me because guys are mostly just lying or standing there with completely free arms or legs and mostly not trying to fight out of submission attempts despite clearly being able to if it was a "real fight"... on top of rest holds being really boring to me if there are too many of them.

But speaking of women, he even still gets a bum rap about not liking women's wrestling, in spite of consistently clarifying that most of it is hot garbage not because they're women, but because they can't work worth a damn, and when you have a situation like currently where WWE scoops up a majority of the ones who can actually work, it makes everyone else's women's division look that much worse by comparison. He's praised a lot of the shit with the women in NXT as of late (especially Rhea Ripley, even though I think there's a slight bias there given some of his expoused predelictions over the years), except for the out of the ring ladder spot that got Mia Yim injured a few weeks back. |

A lot of people would have. He is capable of two things that would have made him golden as a manager: he can talk and he can bump.
Any of the outside, personal stuff aside, Enzo is actually a perfect WWE guy. If they didn't have some kind of irrational dislike of managers in the last 20+ years (seriously, how many new managers have there been since the 90s) besides Abraham Washington and, if you stretch it, Ricardo Rodriguez I can't recall any "pure" manager (someone who isn't also an active wrestler, so Zelina doesn't really count) that hasn't been a throwback, like Paul E or "Zeb" or Paul Ellering. People talk about bubbles being in other places, but sometimes, there's a WWE bubble, too. They have talent or angles occasionally that would only work in WWE. Enzo is that to a T. |
