When Austin inducted Hart into the HoF, it was weird for a lot of us that remember their feud. You had a hard time believing they truly didn't hate each other. That kind of heat is nowhere to be found today
Jim is 100% correct, and this was 8 years ago and to be fair he hasn't changed his opinion. It ain't complicated.
Wrestling is a story telling medium. And like any story telling medium, the more everything makes sense, the better you can emotionally connect with your audience. Jim has a thourough understanding of this.
Some will say wrestling is booming right now. But for me at least, social media killed wrestling. It affected other industries too, you have to go out your way now not to find toxic influencers, hate chats, leakers and spoilers in anything. But with wrestling it gave fans a voice. the problem for me was wrestling was better when they didn't have one unless it was inside the arena
I didnt realize that this was in 2014, if it were 2022 I would still agree with every single word Jim said
Modern wrestlers look to perfect
Wrestling doesn't really work without big personalities and those personalities only work if the talent can make them convincing. Whether it was Hogan, Austin, Rock, or even someone like Bret, you could see a little bit of their real selves into their character which really helped those personalities work and translate well to the screen, it felt organic and you can see that whenever you pull any of these guys into a shoot interview or something like that.
Biggest thing that killed wrestling was social media. Period . Look at the crowds and fans before social media - they were soo invested in the product! It was easy to be a heel and get heat and to make people believe what they're seeing is real. There was REAL emotion. Nowadays fans spend all their time filming matches on their phones, checking social media, and spreading their opinions across the net. Now people comment on how they "like their work", rather than how much They're emotionally invested. Any surprise or unexpected event such as storyline twists, returning wrestlers etc is also dead now thanks again to social media with all its spoilers. Its such a shame. I miss the old days hugely.

You see guys, he doesn't rip on your favorite guys just to rip on them. He does it, because many times he knows they can be safer, and thus lead to better matches, without making everyone in the company look like ECW rejects.
Kayfabe no longer exists in wrestling. That's why it sucks. No more mystique. Everybody knows people are acting. They know the person behind the gimmick, who comes in and who goes out, etc. Also, wrestling is over produced imo. It no longer looks realistic.
The biggest difference with wrestling today is too many guys wrestle the same using the same moves back in the day the majority wrestled so you could distinguish them from one another
He's completely right, look at Rey Mysterio Jrs angle with Dominick, Dominick literally went on a shoot talk show, talking about how he likes the prison Dom gimmick. He literally exposed the whole thing 😂and not to mention Rey photo bombed Rhea tattoo session in real life and they weren't supposed to like eachother. Imagine if The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin were caught in a picture hugging and drinking beer giving eachother high fives drunk after their promo with Jim Ross before Wrestlemania 17.😂

"Jim Cornette on why he's angry about something"
I'm pretty sure Cornette is refering to Russo by "TV Writers".
A majority of the best feuds I can think of come from the plot lines of: 2 guys fighting over the top championship, 1 guy being bad and screwing the good guy over out of spite which usually involoves a title anyways, or 2 really talented guys simply trying to prove who is the better man. Taker Michaels, Taker Batista, Taker Edge, Michaels Bret, Michaels Angle, Angle Lesnar, Cena Styles, McMahon Austin, Rock Austin, heck even Omega Okada, nothing had to be over-the-top complicated, just guys who solved their issues in the ring doing so for gold, respect, or honor.
I grew up with 80's and 90's wrestling. I miss when wrestlers had a gimmick. Super heroes have gimmicks. Wrestlers were real life superheroes.
