"Clownishness"- Jim Cornette takes a massive dig at AEW
Jim Cornette recently slammed AEW for producing an underwhelming main event on last week's Rampage episode.
While speaking on Jim Cornette's Drive-Thru podcast, the wrestling legend, in an amusing way, stated that the company might have learned about Jack Evans suffering from 'Lice' or parasite infestation that needed to be rid off so, they produced hair vs. hair bout.
"The only reason that I can think of to have this match is that they found out Jack Evans had lice or some other kind of parasite infestation that needs to be exterminated, so they decided to shave his head and do it on television. But guys, this is still national TV before 11 pm. There's no reason to just waste 15 minutes up. They started the show with a former WWE Champion, and they finished it with guys who before AEW went on the air were job guys on outlaw shows, and they were doing phony wrestling and bad comedy. This is the biggest problem they've got with growing their audience, nobody who wants to look, who wants to watch a professional-looking major league wrestling promotion on television would want to watch this clownishness," Jim Cornette said.
No mercy for @JackEvans711 😤 Let's at least get him to a barber? #AEWRampage https://t.co/SN74zQMnJe
There's no doubt that the match between Evans and Cassidy was predictable and could have never followed the show's opener that featured Bryan Danielson and Nick Jackson. Moreover, had AEW put Matt Hardy in place of Jack Evans, the bout could have been more interesting to watch.
