During the latest edition of his “:Talking Sense” podcast, Jim Cornette revealed why he can’t watch modern wrestling. You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On His Issues With The Lighting: “It’s always driven me insane, because the lighting should be the ring and the ringside area. Now, in between the matches, I was always in favor of turning the arena lights on, even in the places where they didn’t, because it was easier for us to get to the ring and back without being killed, instead of it being in the dark. But once the match starts, all the focus, all the attention in the arena should be on the ring and the ringside area… I’ve always hated the [WWE] lighting. It’s so distracting, and I don’t want to see all those people, I don’t want to see the arena. I want to see what’s going on in the ring and I want to lose myself in that.”
On Wrestlers Doing Too Much: “They can’t scream any fu**ing louder. What do you want them to do? Take a knife and cut their fu**ing arteries [because] they’re so excited? They’ll bleed out!”
