Key words: out there. He's actually done plenty to disgrace the business and any reasonable person could understand why someone like Jim Cornette would have strong feelings about someone who comes across so fake.

That would seem to say more about the available product than anything else. You're acting like wrestling is music, where the good stuff is there to be found with a little effort. Hes not ignoring good product to shit on bad product. Hes clearly stated what he thinks is good product over and over and over again. If thats on TV and im just not seeing it, Id love for someone to help me out over here.
