He could've. And I'm sure he may some in there. I just find Cornette hard to take seriously anymore. Not because he isn't a wealth of knowledge, but more because he just seems like he's hanging to a time that's long past.
My citing of him rattling off these 30 year old matches just indicates to me that he feels that a certain era and certain style is "pro rasslin", and I disagree with that
Maybe in that time it would've worked. But itv won't work now. People are in on the rib. They know it's a work. Trying to present it the same way it was 30 years ago isn't gonna work.
He makes valid points. I don't think he's a loon and I respect his opinion. I just think, similar to Jim Ross, he's hung up on a certain era and doesn't move past it.
