Why does Chris Jericho feel the need to attack Jim Cornette so much?  Do you agree with Jim that Jericho and others in AEW are trying to cancel him with the comments that they make about him?

Because of the questions you asked, I went and listened to the clip on Cornette’s YouTube channel (which I highly recommend).  Why does Jericho say what he did about Cornette?  Well, I think that it is definitely in response to the criticism that Cornette has about the AEW product.  At this point in his life, Jim is no different than I am, he comments on the business and says what he thinks.  Jericho seems to take offense to that, which I find to be pretty thin skinned.  I don’t know anyone that likes being criticized but when you step into the public eye, it will happen.  Hell, it happens to me and I am not on TV like Jericho is.  I get that Jericho doesn’t like it, but I think him responding is a mistake, for two reasons.  One, it makes him look a baby and two, it sends people to Cornette’s YouTube channel and makes him money.  If Jericho’s goal is hurt Cornette, he’s failing.

I heard on Jim Cornette’s podcast that Chris Jericho’s wife was at the Capitol disputing the election results on January 6.  Are you surprised that he would let her go?

First off, as a man married for almost 35 years I can tell you that most marriages don’t have someone who “lets” the other do things!  According to what I was able to find out online, yes it’s true.  The reports state she was there with her mother, disputing the results of the 2020 Presidential election.  As I said above, if she wanted to go it was her choice.

Cornette also said that Jericho donated to the Trump campaign.  Is that true?

I checked online and it shows he did donate to the Trump campaign.  You can look at the report by clicking here.

And if it’s true, does it surprise you that Jericho is a Trump supporter?

Nothing surprises me, either way.  People feel how they feel and believe what they believe.  Trump got almost half the votes so that means out of 10 people, five probably feel as Jericho does.

Would you like to see Tony Khan hire Jim Cornette?

I would LOVE to see what happened if Cornette went to work there.  He doesn’t pull any punches because he has no Fs left to give, as the saying goes.  I truly believe he would try and work with everyone on the roster but I also know that if they didn’t show him respect, well it would get super interesting for those of us that cover the business.
