"Why would anybody watch this? Who cares?"- Jim Cornette slams 'Rhodes to the Top' show for exposing business of AEW
Jim Cornette is chastising Cody Rhodes' new show 'Rhodes to the Top' for completely exposing the wrestling business of AEW.
While speaking on his podcast, The Jim Cornette Experience, the wrestling legend stated that it felt absurd to have QT Marshall and Cody feature as friends on the show, given the intense rivalry that ran between the two earlier this year.
Cornette jokingly added that the Factory leader might have again turned on AEW's Rhodes before the production of the episode:
"They're showing Cody and QT are friends on this show, but QT has since turned on Cody and made an *** out of himself while trying to get even with the Nightmare Factory vs. Solo, Comoroto, Ogogo. But now they're friends here on this show. And I think he (QT Marshall) turned on even before this show, so it's just insanity," Cornette said.
"I've done a lot of things in my career, but I'm telling you right now, this I'm gonna refer to it as the weigh in from hell" - @PaulWight #RhodesToTheTop https://t.co/KLk8Uat021
Jim Cornette further took a massive dig at The American Nightmare for openly breaking kayfabe and exposing wrestling for "being a performance."
He further explained that nobody wants to know about the current happenings in Cody Rhodes' family and that the presence of Starks and QT Marshall, two AEW heels persona portraying babyfaces on the show:
"He's talking completely openly about wrestling being a performance then he's talking about Starks' broken neck. So they're basically with this show they're driving home the thought. Everything we do is phony, but it's still dangerous. So, you're even stupider. You're taking a chance on hurting yourself to do phony sh*t instead of actually really do something. Cody goes to Teil's house. His sister, she's still didn't like Brandi. They talked about how to raise a daughter. I fast forward to this. I fast forward anything to do with the family now because it's people sitting around their kitchen table talking about sh*t that I don't care about if it was happening to me. Then Starks and QT show up at Cody's house. Now I know Starks was a heel even if QT were the babyface. So they're good friends, and they show up at the house and try to put Cody and brandi's baby buggies and sh*t together. And they couldn't put the baby seat in the car, they couldn't figure it out. Why would anybody watch this? Who cares?," Jim Cornette said.
