    I don't agree with Cornette about everything. But I def agree that Cornette is not a homophobe in the slightest. That said, if Sonny Kiss does not like to have his sexuality commented on, he shouldn't be salaciously ramming Tommy Dreamer's face into his butt. Doing something to get a reaction & then being all pissy when you GET a reaction is the surest sign of a
    useless whiny hypocrite.

      Know I’m a year late but I agree. Sonny needs to stop his gimmick. I’m not asking him to stop being gay and I’m not against them in the slightest but he needs to stop equipping it in his character so much to the point where his whole character to the point where all it becomes is “look at how gay I am!” Nothing against him personally but he needs to stop ramming peoples faces into his ass. I feel it’s part of the reason why so many people now a days call wrestling gay and stupid.

    Jim, as a gay man I've always been thankful for how great you've been in respect to our community in the past. I didn't find what you said offensive. Thank you for always putting over gay marriage at a time when next to no one in pro-wrestling was being a vocal ally, plus you're always courteous to gay people. Big respect. Keep up the good work.

      Agreed. As a dude from the younger generation, I'm bisexual and I'm thankful for how Jim has been in support of our community being able to live our lives free of oppression.
      As someone who's bisexual and wants to one day train to become a professional wrestler, I'm thankful for Jim's contributions to the biz and how he's not bigoted or hateful.
      I'd didn't find what he said horrendous or offensive. Especially compared to what people like Ultimate Warrior or Val Venis have said about gay or transgender folk and It's very big of him to even apologize if he offended Sonnt or anyone else. Not many people would give it the time of day, but it was so big of Jim to actually say what he said when most people wouldn't even bother. Jim is a real one and I'll always be thankful for the guy.

      @@SpiralPoliFemboy totally. Theres plenty of his podcasts that support us, whether about same-sex marriage or the advantage to the business of having gay wrestlers and he's spoken about just how many important men in the business have been gay, amongst other things.
      ... and Jim is man enough to apologise when he thinks he's may be had something misconstrued. Frankly I think his comments only got traction because their are a lot of the former - and at that time current/currently - independent wrestlers who he'd slammed or slammed their style of wrestling who wanted to throw some sh*t at him.
      And if there were any actually gay guys who were offended I'd tell them to lighten up and pick their battles more carefully ('cause they are enough real ones we face). Gays used to have a reputation for having the best sense of wit and humour, never being afraid to take the p*ss out of themselves, but some (not a majority) younger ones - who didn't have to fight for their rights 'cause they came along after the major struggles - are letting the side down by being killjoys (for Christ sake gay means happy - f*cking act it 14yo whiny Brandon on your goddamn keyboard).

    As an openly gay wrestling fan, I grew up watching gimmicks like Rico and wishing for some kind of gay character that wasn’t stereotypical and kicked ass and wasn’t some kind of flamboyant caricature groping their opponents in the ring. So while watching Double or Nothing, the harsh reality of Sonny Kiss hit me right between the eyes, and I had a reaction of “what the fuck is this shit?”
    So unfortunately, this Sonny Kiss schtick is what will pass as a “gay wrestler” in the mainstream because white knights can pat themselves on the back for being inclusive for supporting them because anything more subtle or unexpected wouldn’t give them the same social justice points as cheering a male Naomi. Imagine in the 80s, a bunch of wrestlers calling out social media users for calling Earthquake fat? Why should Earthquake be bothered since he could come to their door and kick their ass? And that’s why everybody comes to the poor little gay wrestler’s defense - because he’s just a harmless gay wrestler with a face full of makeup who can’t do anything to anybody. Nothing sells wrestling tickets like a “harmless wrestler” living his best true life.
    Wrestling fans critique gimmicks all the time, but this guy is untouchable because....the gimmick may be a shoot? Or because he may be an “inspiration” to people like me? But his sexuality in real life has nothing to do with his wrestling character - even if both are gay. Jeez, I guess Lacey Evans shouldn’t be criticized at all because she was a fucking Marine - even though the Sassy Southern Belle gimmick doesn’t reference that. Or I guess Chris Kanyon should have been a career babyface back in the day. Hey, the fans were amazing toward Darren Young during his time with WWE. The homophobia here is coming from these social justice fucks that are protecting this Kiss dude from criticism because they assume he can’t handle it the way other wrestlers can. And if you’re that soft, you shouldn’t be a public figure in a world of simulated violence. Why do we exist in a time where the wrestling FANS try maintaining kayfabe more than the fucking wrestlers on the show? There is too much interaction between fans and the real people behind the gimmicks, and not enough interaction between the fans and the fictional personas. And that is almost exclusively the talent’s fault, and it creates situations like this.
    Cornette is less of a homophobe than I am.

It worth noting that Cornette correctly addressed Nyla Rose during the segment about her match.

    While I disagree with Jim's opinion on Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks, I 100% agree with him on Joey Ryan. If I wanted to watch his horrible act, I'd go watch porn. This is professional wrestling. His garbage has no place in any major wrestling company. He is a total disgrace and embarrassment to this profession. Fortunately, neither WWE nor AEW have been stupid enough to sign him and I hope it never happens. Hypothetically, if it did, that company would reach an all-time lowest point in professional wrestling that has ever been seen. Fortunately, it won't happen for very financially logical reasons. Fox Sports Network (where WWE is moving to in the Fall) and TNT (where AEW will start their weekly telecasts in the Fall) would significantly lose viewers, sponsors, and advertising revenue (in WWE's case their stock would fall) because none of them would want to associate with a show that has such a horrible act like Joey Ryan. I think both WWE and AEW are smart enough to know that. So, Joey Ryan will continue to prosper in those horrible Independent Wrestling Mud Bars while we will never have the displeasure of seeing his horrible act on national cable television.Also, Jim said nothing homophobic and the Battle Royal was awful, deserving condemnation.

    What's the issue with a Luchador having a stylized dinosaur/reptile mask; is that anymore ridiculous or puzzling than the masks of Tiger Mask, Thunder Liger, Psicosis or La Parka? Somehow a dinosaur is too much but a dragon, tiger and alien are neither "ridiculous" or "puzzling"? No explanation needed for Liger. Dinosaur mask, too abstract for the audience.
    What explanation do audiences really need for a Luchador/Wrestler's mask?
    I do not care to defend Orange Cassidy, staple gun spot or the quality of any wrestling on Double or Nothing. However, it comes off ill for Cornette to frame his critique on the basis audiences require elaborate explanation for rather simple concepts like a dinosaur mask on a wrestler.

And the fact that the commentators didn't explain one thing about the wrestlers,the shows and the feuds(Dustin vs Cody is an exception but you get it more from the promo package before the match).

    Here’s what it boils down to: Cornette never made an issue with Sonny Kiss being gay and that’s because HE DIDN’T KNOW HE WAS GAY! His issue was that it wasn’t explained! You can probably assume from how he presents himself as a wrestler, but as we’ve heard from Sonny Kiss himself, there have been flamboyant wrestlers before. There have been wrestlers whose sexuality was veiled presented as homosexual (Rico, Goldust, Kwee Wee). How is ANYONE who’s never heard of this guy know that, in his words, it’s not a gimmick and this is his life. There is nothing wrong with Sonny Kiss living his truth, and everyone should support that. But Cornette isn’t making an anti-gay statement because he’s never seen this guy and only knows what he sees on the television and then never gets any clarity over why. Sure, he doesn’t need clarity. We don’t have to out someone as soon as we see them so that they “make sense.” But then the outrage also doesn’t make sense why we’re trying to figure out who this person is.
