4. “That is the most heinous horse sh!t that I’ve ever seen in my life” – Jim Cornette on Lucha Underground
Jim Cornette recently gave his views on Lucha Underground Season 2 Premiere and had a lot of negative things to say about the show. Below is what he said:
“This fu*king Lucha Underground horse sh!t. That is the most heinous horse sh!t that I’ve ever seen in my life. We joked off the air and I said “well I’ll probably like the match, but I won’t like the concept of the show because it has writers.” I didn’t like nothing. This is more embarrassing than anything I could have dreamed of. Its a TV show. Its a movie. Its not wrestling. It’s not a sport. They make no pretence of even attempting to make this s*** believable. The production is incredible. It looks like Scorsese directed it. The cinematography is wonderful. It looks like a John Ford western, whatever the f***. I cant say enough about the production. And its another nail in the coffin of wrestling to being taken seriously as a sport or anything that’s not completely predetermined.
There’s nobody on the face of the planet that could watch this s*** and believe that there is any legitimacy to it whatsoever. It shouldn’t be called pro wrestling at all. Its a movie and they’re wrestling in the movie. That’s all it f***ing is. That backstage horse sh!t that obviously takes multiple takes to shoot something like that. Nobodies believing these people. Its a scripted performance of a movie or a TV show. That’s all that s*** is.
And then, good God. I watched Prince Puma and Felix. I know Lucha is obviously acrobatic. But this was a choreographed f***ing Chinese acrobat Olympic gymnastics tumbling routine. That’s all that f***ing was. And the three-way ladder match is more garbage horse s*** hardcore wrestling where they’re beating each other up with furniture that doesn’t work with you and somebody is going to get killed. And just more of this ladder goofiness. And the recap of the year, where there’s Vampiro hitting people with light tubes and thumb tacks on the ground. And John Morrison, I like, he was a OVW guy. I like him as a person. I’m sorry to see him in that atmosphere instead of real wrestling.
The only way to save this god damn horse s*** is if they get everyone in that f***ing Temple who is associated with Lucha Underground and all the tapes of everything they’ve ever shot and put it in the same place and then drop a nuclear f***ing bomb on the whole god damn thing. That would be the best way to treat Lucha Underground if you are a wrestling fan who has any pride in pro wrestling as a performer, as a professional or as a fan, because its more writers happy horse sh!t making wrestlers phony.”
