• Jim Cornette Ends Friendship With Dave Meltzer Over AEW Wrestler Kenny Omega
Below is a recent heated Twitter exchange between Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer and Old School Wrestling Legend Jim Cornette over AEW wrestler Kenny Omega:
Dave I've been sick all week so fuck it. You call this Harpo Marx motherfucker a goddamn "genius" at match layout, better'n Flair/Steamboat, blah fuckin blah. He wrestled sex dolls & kids, he's a phony clown & embarrassment. Fuck him, quit swinging on his dick or fuck you. FUCK!
— Jim Cornette (@TheJimCornette) February 4, 2020
It's a goddamn embarrassment to me I've told people for years you're a smart guy about wrestling & now you got these phony play rasslers so far up your ass that you're making an idiot out of both of us. If kids playing video games in the ring is what wrestling is now let it die. https://t.co/1Vo9cF2L7L

Neither Flair nor Steamboat ever wrestled asex doll in front of people nor continued to make a joke out of the business 15 years later. I'd get banned off here for saying what I wish would happen to Harpo & the rest of his ilk but you know how I feel so imagine it.Fuck all y'all.
— Jim Cornette (@TheJimCornette) February 4, 2020
Ladies & Gentlemen, I apologize for ever defending @davemeltzerWON against people who said he was an idiot. Dave, I hope the Balding Fucks & Olivier sucking up to you are worth you looking like a lunatic. Better than Flair-Steamboat? How about smellier than my dog's shit? #FUCK
— Jim Cornette (@TheJimCornette) February 4, 2020
Dave you're fucking senile. It's not "too many spots", it's blatant phony silliness and mocking of the business right out in the open, and you KNOW that, but you can't get off Olivier's jock and just admit it. For fuck's sake act your age, not like a Japanese schoolgirl. #RIHO

More like an asshole who lies cause he desperately wants to hang out with the cool kids so people don't say he's "out of touch" , and sacrifices all his credibility to say Harpo Marx is Frank Gotch. You know he sucks Dave, and I guess you do to. Fuck you, lose my number.
— Jim Cornette (@TheJimCornette) February 5, 2020
Lies? You only have name calling to back you up. I only resort to facts. You're getting more and more desperate here. One of us does a modern business analysis of the value of demos and rights fees. The other screams AEW will be out of business by the end of the month. https://t.co/axrcUaI8Kp
— Dave Meltzer (@davemeltzerWON) February 5, 2020
One of us understood the marketplace. The other was clueless. I had hoped every week you'd come around but now you can't because you dug yourself in a hole. Please dig up and escape rather than continually dig deeper. You have a lot to offer and your hatred is throwing it away. https://t.co/axrcUaI8Kp

Cram your "business analysis" up your pussy that needs powdered. Their invisible man pockethanded video game cosplay bullshit is stupid, disrespectful & offensive to wrestling. Did I underestimate the amount of stupid pricks like you that tolerate it? Maybe, but it's still stupid
— Jim Cornette (@TheJimCornette) February 6, 2020
Neither one of us has to lie and say this shit is good. One has respect for the business and tells the truth, one lies his ass off cause he's flattered these assholes butter him up and doesn't want to lose subscribers. One has integrity, one is an old slut. Don't be a slut, Dave.
— Jim Cornette (@TheJimCornette) February 6, 2020
Oh, back on here after he jacked off to his doll rasslers on TV tonite, how cute. Not my fault lot of stupid people listen to your opinion on what a "good wrestler" is these days. Stick to your "business trends" & I'll make the stars, sunshine, cause you're an amateur in my world
