Comedy is fine in professional wrestling and specifically World Wrestling Entertainment, but the attitude wrestler is the main reason a lot of people do not take the art seriously, lawls!
@jdrhjr thats greatest chant in the world. Only Steve Austin can create a chant with a simple word like that and years after hes left the ring people are still using that. Nobody else can do that or re-create it.
There have been times when I've laughed so hard I've cried watching wrestling.
He says comedy doesn't sell tickets, but look at Santino's pop at HIAC. Look at The Rock every time he cuts a promo. Look at the Steve Austin feud with Kurt Angle. Jim Cornette's a dipshit.
@Walrus373 thats after all these guys were established. having a new guy as a comedian is bs i dont want to see wrestling as bad comedy i agree some guys can do it
I agree, for example Colt Cabana is not going to reach a main event status being a comedian, but when he gets serious, just do a youtube search for his promos agains Homicide back in 2005
I agree with this to an extent. They should trim out the overtly goofy shit, like men wearing dresses and fart jokes... but it doesn't have to be 100% serious all the way through.
Comedy has always worked in wrestling, but like alot have said only in little doses like Santino is doing now, one comedy sketch per show is perfectly fine. remember back in the day when the midget wrestlers were booked on the show solely for their comedic matches? I do.
comedy used to work in wrestling....in small doses and when done right.....but today, its too fuckin stupid and its just plain BAD ACTING, but then again back in the good ol days....the story lines were much more over the top and comedy worked better a long side them......the world of reality TV should have stayed out of wrestling
This guy is such an over-opinionated negative douchebag. I've known plenty of jerkoffs like him... I've also had to beat the hell out of plenty of jackasses like him for not knowing when to shut the fuck up. I guess that's why Cornette is always getting his fatass beat by people - because he doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut.
Comedy in Wrestling works. It only doesnt when the writer's write bad jokes or corny segments. The Rock always had the crowd laughin when he was doin promos, but when he wrestled, the crowd new it was serious time.
Shit they could give Santino the title right now and he would be hugely over, anyone see the Smackdown Chamber match? Look at Mick Foley!!! Comedy in wrestling is fine as long as its done right, look at Kurt Angle in his 1st couple years in WWE he could whip your ass in the ring and be hilarious on the Mic, kind of miss that old Kurt Angle character!!! Even The Rock used a great deal of comedy, at the expense of others of course!!!
Sorry bullshit on his part. Humor is an intregal part of wrestling. You wanna know my most memorable moment of cornette ? When he got caught between the road warriors and jumped off the scafold. it was hilarious! I can name a hundred examples.
Comedy sells PERIOD. Thats all that matters from the WWE corporate side of things. Maybe Shane & Stephany grew up in the business & maybe Vince is a 3rd generation wrestling promoter whose been doing this all his life. But WWE's corporate organization is probably filled with a bunch of fuckers who don't know nothing about "rasslin" and couldn't care as long as they can make dough by the truck load. They saw how the Rock "ELECTRIFIED" with comedy and now think they still gotta have a comedy show.
Wrestler aren't good comdeains, What about the Rock, or DX & HHH or Shawn Micheals, the NWO. Wrestlers can be good comdeains. I know what his saying, their is too much of it & in inapropiate times. But Wrestlers can be funny, its one of the good things about Wrestling.
This is my second time watching this, Jim Cornette is so spot on and awesome. Vince has lost his mind with his expansion from wrestling to sports-entertainment.
santino, r-truth and others are the reasons why people still watch WWE. there has to be comedy. r-truth is sooo funny but his such a great wrestler too!
@frankatank2111 Yeah, and a farting diva and fart jokes are so funny when they weren't even that funny in 1992... Anyone who finds that shit funny, really needs to be lobotomized
@SadisticScott yeah did i say a farting diva was funny? no i didnt i just said r-truth (who actually is fucking hilarious) and santino (again fucking hilarious) are funny. if santino wasnt in elimination chamber it would have been shit and you no it!
@frankatank2111 Hell yeahs if that underdog story wasnt a part of that match it would have sucked a big one and I thought that match turned out great and all of them dudes except Khali busted there ass.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
goddd shut up jim cornette always talking shit about everyone like youre the god of wrestling. just appretiate something for once u unapretiative cunt
If I were ever to start my own promotion, I'd beg Cornette to come be my consultant and he'd have the power to do whatever he could do so I could get my company afloat. I mean, his House comparison is spot on. House the character can be a smarmy asshole, and is funny....but he never cracks a joke or says something witty when a life is on the line; he just does his medical thing.
@voteforcanman He does. What he's saying is that the WWE is placing comedy forward at the expense of seriousness. His "House MD" comment was a good comparison; House can be funny at times, but it's never at the expensive of the drama. That's what he's saying here; the comedy has to be timed right or else it'll take away from the rest of the product.
@jdrhjr that got annoying but it wasn't the worst...its hornswoggle...the hornswoggle vs chavo feud was the final straw that broke the wwe camel's back
@jdrhjr The Rattlesnake kicks ass, and is one of my favorites, but I will NEVER forgive him for the What? chant. I hate promos anymore, because the second anyone takes a breath I hear that chant. I did love how CM Punk addressed it to Austin. "Annoying isn't it?" Yes, yes it is.
@jdrhjr The "WHAT" started from Stone Cold as a heel...which was great. It's not Austins fault that chant has now turned to a chant against heels when it originally started to piss off the fans.
Yeah, yeah, yeah...I know the history of that stupid "catchphrase". I was watching every week during that time. Still, he started it, so it's his fault.
Look, there's comedy in wrestling that evolves naturally from the performers and the angle (good) and there's comedy for the sake of comedy on a wrestling show (bad). To drag it out further, the Rock is Han Solo blasting the communication console and saying "Boring conversation, anyway", Santino is Jar-Jar Binks. It's meant to be an aspect of one's character, not one's entire character.
the only reason why santino marrella doesnt wrestle, and is more of a comedian is because he used to be one of the top ten mma fighters in the world. he suffered a knee injury and his life took a downward spiral. he was picked up by wwe to develop wrestlers, and he is were he is now. i know this because my father used to work with his mom
RODDY PIPER!!! Jim Nedihart, Dusty Rhodes, Dustin Rhodes as Goldust, The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Randy Savage, Iron Mike Sharpe, Steve Lombardi, Kamala, Mr. Fuji, Adrian Adonis, Jim Duggan, Andre the Giant, Iron Sheik, Freddie Blassie .they were all hilarious Come on. Yeah, I agree with the goofy skits today being stupid as hell, but you have to admit, back in the day there was some good stuff.
Theres a difference between being hilarious and serious at the same time (The Rock was awesome at that) and trying to be funny and wind up being uncredible (Eric Bishoff's midget wrestling).
Here's a good example. When The Rock cut his promos they were always serious but had stints of jokes in them. At the same time, he would be so serious and passionate about what he did that people paid to see him do it. Now flip to a midget beating Chavo Guererro...hows that funny
Cornette never said that wrestling should be without comedy, he just said it's used in bad spots. Too many people, like normal, are misinterpreting what's being said.
And by the way...wrestling would be MUCH better with the territory system. It's where all of our legends came from. There weren't farm systems used to make hundreds of people the same type of wrestler...all were original and unique. There's none of that now outside of the guys coming from Mexico like Del Rio.
@TheAmpdradio truth. Jim's own example of House is perfect. House does have comedy, but its black comedy that mostly comes from how big of a dick House is, and it's used properly. You use comedy to diffuse tense situations, but you have to be very careful about it, especially when you are putting on what is ostensibly a drama.
@mikej690 Dean Ambrose was already contracted by WWE in Heartland Wrestling quite a long time ago. Heartland was a developmental system. Seth Rollins hasn't even made it to the main roster yet and is wrestling dark matches, and Abraham Washington hasn't really been seen outside of FCW since 2010 in ECW. Just saying...unless they are farmed, which even CM Punk and Danielson has been to some point (Punk in OVW and Danielson in FCW), the WWE doesn't want much to do with them.
@TheAmpdradio Meh, territory days were overrated. The promoters were essentially con-men trying to pass things off as being real. You don't need them to make unique stars, you just need to stop trying to make everyone the same.
I see, you were saying you don't really need territories to make unique stars, instead as long as you make sure none of your wrestlers in your company are the same, it's good enough.
@TheAmpdradio Watch Smoky Mountain Wrestling and you'll see how he booked the comedy stuff appropriately and even worked it into the serious angles properly. Al Snow getting the crap knocked out of him and then going on a goofy, concussion fueled rant about how there are 'a dozen guys a couple with guns that did this to' him was one of the best.
@TheAmpdradio He never said it but he implied it. He never gave a good example of comedy in wrestling. Why? Because he doesn't think it has a place there.
@ManicRaider Or YOU THINK he implied it. If you ever watched Smokey Mountain Wrestling, or even skits that Cornette did as a manager, you would know that not be true. Managers are usually at the center of many comedy skits in wrestling.
@TheAmpdradio Good point. At the same time, all the titles that were used in different regions overexposed the use of titles AND it also meant pro wrestling was regulated. However, I'm not saying one way or the other is bad but I don't think the majority of people, in the US particualrly, would buy that again since Vince decided forget the territories and regulation--that way it saved money. It's almost as if you're damned either way.
Jim is having selective memory problems. Back in his day there was plenty of comedy. Bugsy McGraw, Boogie Woogie Man Jimmy Valiant, Dusty Rhodes certainly could be very funny. And there was this skinny loud mouthed mama's boy who managed a tag team...dang what was his name?
I think Santino is funny, it's really sad when people lose touch with the child inside them, Santino is awesome :D. Wrestlers aren't funny, the comedy doesn't go over? Hmmm how about The Rock, DX? Stone Cold is also fucking hilarious. Jericho? Punk? No validity in Jim's comments here.
Well then the same argument could be made that wrestlers are not good actors or charismatic but they have to be able to do promos and connect with the crowd.
I usually agree with Jim, but I think I'm going to have to pull him up on this one...
@chrisbenoit123 and that's why WWE sucks these days. I mean just look at the funny shit the APA did and than look at Santino shit. You will is what real comedy and the other is just for little kids comic(bad) relief
@WilsonT011 Wait- whoa. WWE sucks now because they have a few comedic wrestlers? I don't know if you know this, but WWE has always had comedic wrestlers. Weathers it was Goldust, or APA. Comedy isn't the reason WWE sucks. Infact, WWE is becoming better than it was since 2008.
The most embarrassing comedy angles were with Chavo Guerrero. He's a veteran who's had lots of awesome matches and feuds. Then he gets beaten up by Bob Barker and Hornswaggle.
Jillian's singing gimmick wasn't funny in the first place. Why did they make it go on for years? She should have been a serious wrestler and not a jobber they use for comic relief, which isn't really comedy when it's not funny.
To everyone arguing comedy in wrestling.... i think the main point Cornette wanted to get across is all the "accidental" comedy. Stuff being put in at inappropriate moments. Also, I think he was just generally shitting on everyone in the current business for having NO talent whatsoever and storylines that have NOTHING to do with wrestling. IE Jillian singing.
Jim what the hell is wrong with you? Wrestlers are not good comedians? Bobby Heenan is probably the best comic heel there ever will be, Santino is amazing at his comedy because he is so unpredictable, and the Empire Wrestling Federation has a coward heel known as Eddie Mattson who complains about his opponents hurting him and the crowd laughs at him for that. Also after he loses a match, he rolls out of the ring and lands face first on the concrete and crawls all the way to the curtain.
Cornette is spot on again. When guys like Savage, Flair, Piper, Warrior, Austin, etc. cut promos, they did it in a serious tone, yet there was still humor there because they were so over the top. The humor stemmed from the characters and storylines. Nowadays on WWE/TNA, you have guys trying to comedy acts and crap out catch phrases all the time. Just like in theatre, you can't beat them over the head with the joke, you have to live it.
You gotta love JC - He tells you it's all a work - But takes it so seriously. You gotta have respect for a man who loves his work. He is wrestling knnowledge all in one man. A bigger legend then some in the HOF.
ok Jim now i know u a dumb ass Santino is super OVER and he is funny every promo the rock did funny and he 1 of the biggest if not the bigest wrestler ever Stone Colds "WHAT" funny ppl still chant it Kurt Angle YOU SUCK... FUNNY, Kurt Angles whole loveing milk thing funny the Jay Lethal Ric Flair promo FUNNY, Goldust Booker T tag team promos FUNNY as Hell Mick Foley FUNNY Comedy dose work in wrestling
Comic relief is one thing, but letting bad comedy dominate a program that's supposed to be about wrestling is just bad business. This is why MMA is kicking wrestling's ass.
Examples of my point being Macho Man, Dibiase, Mr. Perfect, they could all be very funny in their promos, intentionally even, yet they weren't breaking character simply to throw in a gag, often times it went along with their arrogant charismatic personalities or helped build heat, where as in so many segments now its treated like sketch comedy without focus on building characters, or relevence to storylines or possible negative impact on fan reaction to the product. Imo :)
@torgocalgon Thumbs up to your comment. There's a big difference between Macho Man talking about "cream of the crop, yeaah!!" while talking himself up as IC champ, and say, some monster heel getting in the ring to do a dance off with Hornswoggle or something dumb like that. I've found a ton of funny promos on YouTube going back to the mid-80s and none of them were of the nature of a Tuesday Night Titans skit.
I think people are missing the point a bit, I don't think Cornette is bashing superstars that are funny in their promos on other wrestlers and such when they are relevent and true to the character. The Rock calling people roody poo candy asses or austin making vince piss himself or whatever isnt the problem he refers to, it's out of character (or mic skill) gags, and blatant comedy acts like marrella or festus that cheapen and tarnish the more serious angles that sell the ppv's and draw houses.
I blame The Rock for a lot of the bad comedy in WWE. Yea he was great with promos, but no entertainment entity dares let one guy do his thing, they force it and force it until it doesn't sell anymore.
This guy sported a tennis racket for years,like that has a place in wrestling.michaels was also a great comic maybe he wasnt watching at the time.some guys were naturals like Booker T,who the more serious he tried to be the funnier he was.
I question Cornette's intelligence. Its kind of fucked that he's mocking WWE for trying to be funny when he was there during the Attitude Era with DX, Austin, Rock, Y2J, E&C, Foley and many others. He saw first hand how important the entertainment side of wrestling is but took nothing away from it. Back then WCW had much better wrestlers but WWF had better entertainers. Maybe his reliance on wrestling alone is why Cornette has never/will never be in the same league as Vince, Eric and Heyman.
@JonLambert89 Once again, you still don't understand what he's actually saying, he's not talking about comedy in wrestling in general, he's talking about when they use it in INNAPROPRIATE SPOTS.
I both agree and disagree with what he said. But I get what he means. Shouldn't combine drama and comedy in 1 plot. Most wrestlers need to focus mostly on wrestling and drama. Comedy should be something for a special occasion or like EY does. EY is the single funniest wrestler of all time. Damn I wish he was pushed more. Some just need to be more serious though
I agree with Jim. I personally HATE how Raw guest hosts come on, punch a wrestler, the wrestler sells the punch like there is no tommorrow, and then we are supposed to beleive that wrestler is a serious athelete?
@milincoln Why agree with him when you could easily do what the rest of the commenters have? i.e. put a load of words in his mouth that he never even went remotely close to saying then bitching about said words.
Guys , he's not saying you can't have comical moments in wrestling... he's saying it shouldn't be a comedy show full of "backstage antics" with very little meaningful in-ring action.
The Rock, D-X, Stone Cold - they were all funny. And don't even talk about Stone Cold showing up at 11:02 like "whats the point?" Those were some of the most exciting moments when Stone Cold shows up at the last minute and charges into the arena and the show ends with him beating the shit out of someone and J.R. is screaming that we'll see you live on PPV this Sunday!
This is really wrong in my opinion. There needs to be comic relief in wrestling because most families wont pay to see a show thats all aboutbrutal violence and horrifying storylines. PG or not, they want familes to attend, so they need to balance out the serious stuff with some light hearted stuff.
Also, it's a given fact that Jim Cornette hates Santino, ever since his days at OVW, where Jim slapped him for breaking kayfabe, so its no surprise it sounds like alot of this is directed at him
@treker999 I can agree that there needs to be comic relief. The problem is, damn near the entire program is comic relief. You can have light hearted stuff in the middle of a match, while still having good matches.
@treker999 Theres always been a somewhat humerous aspect to WWE. Hell, in the A.era, Raws were dominated by the likes of Austin and Rock insulting wrestlers and amusing the hell out of fans. Its just that now WWE has stooped so low to please their demographic, it is embarassing to be a fan of the product. Guys like Santino are hugely overrated and as long as Vince keeps pumping BS segments, pro wrestling is not looking good anytime soon.
@treker999 The problem is that WWE is 60% comedy these days. It was worse years ago, but it's like matches are just a vehicle to get someone's lame catchphrase in (e.g., I am...AWEEESOMMME!) or some silly backstage hidden camera video of wrestlers doing something goofy. Comedy has its place, in spots, but not as an overriding theme.
@treker999 I agree 100% with you, balance is everything. The main problem with comedy in wrestling (or maybe it's just the WWE and TNA), is quite often, it isn't funny or engaging. Comedy also relies on the strength of the wrestler's character and if his/her personality gets changed every five minutes then the humour is merely superficial. Another flaw with wrestling promos, regardless of comedy content, is their predictability, usually ending with someone either getting humiliated or beaten up.
@wildfootfan94 Its the money it brings to wwe. Way more mech is bought for kids than adults. They need to keep that part of their audience happy or they'd lose a shit ton of business
@treker999 Jim Cornette doesn't hate comedy in wrestling he hates when wrestling is made to look silly or when it hurts the credibility of wrestling. I'm sure he never had a problem with someone like Bobby Heenan (who was extremely funny) because it didn't hurt the overall product. He's a fan of building heat in wrestlers (especially top tier guys) because that's what sells tickets. Too much comedy goes against heat.
@HGeneAnthony I must say, though. I'm a massive Cornette fan, I agree with nearly all of his opinions, and I agree with this, to a degree.
I only say that because CHIKARA is an amazing promotion to me. They're small, yeah, but they put on some great matches whilst frequently being funny and often times breaking the forth wall. I'm sure Cornette would hate it, but I love it.
On the other hand, I'm a huge fan of the realistic approach of old World of Sport and most Japanese promotions, etc etc
Jim Cornette could have articulated his point a little better. I don't think he's saying there should be no comedy whatsoever in wrestling. He's saying there shouldn't be stupid segments just for the sake of a cheap laugh if it interrupts the rest of the show. If you have great drama with HHH or CM Punk, for example, and then there's a silly segment with Hornswoggle, it just interrupts the flow of the show... plus it's a waste of time. But some comedy is good, like promos to build matches.
@sneak2attack Yeah one guy in the entire company not to mention that the one is arguably the best wrestler to have ever been in the business, give The Rocks schickt to the guys headlining today there's no way a single one of them could pull it off.
@sneak2attack santino was funny but really stupid. but yes the rock was the king of improv comedy. its bullshit as cornette said. hail cornette and fierro.
The Rock seems to be the only guy who gets the "green light" to be a little edgy/use profanity. His return practically guaranteed that I'd buy WM this year. I almost marked out during Survivor Series. That was the first non-WM ppv that I'd bought in years.
I love Jim and his opinions, he really speaks my mind 99% of the time. But Austin was known for always being there on time, even hours before the shows would start. So there must have been a legit reason for Austin's late arrival, if it were in fact him.
@craigawesome1 yeah the legit reason for austin late arrival was that an angle must have gone on to show that he was late but in fact he was their all off the time.
jim cornette is very old school, i kinda agree but the rock could make people laugh, stone cold could make people laugh. i think its when you see people try to hard to be funny like cena.but truth with his lil jimmies are funny.
Jim is usually right, but not this time. Wrestling is not Drama. Its Drama, melo drama/soap, horror, action, comedy, thriller. Its all forms of entertainment in one. Thats why im a fan, because you can be entertained on all levels. Something for everyone. Its the timing that they need to improve on. You can start the show off with a funny skit, but end it with action and drama, because thats what will get the fans to tune in for the next show.
Cornette doesn't understand the power of humour in wrestling. If it wasn't for Eddie Guerrero's Lie, Cheat & Steal gimmick, he probably would never have rose to championship status.

@voteforcanman He does. What he's saying is that the WWE is placing comedy forward at the expense of seriousness. His "House MD" comment was a good comparison; House can be funny at times, but it's never at the expensive of the drama. That's what he's saying here; the comedy has to be timed right or else it'll take away from the rest of the product.

Look, there's comedy in wrestling that evolves naturally from the performers and the angle (good) and there's comedy for the sake of comedy on a wrestling show (bad). To drag it out further, the Rock is Han Solo blasting the communication console and saying "Boring conversation, anyway", Santino is Jar-Jar Binks. It's meant to be an aspect of one's character, not one's entire character.

Here's a good example. When The Rock cut his promos they were always serious but had stints of jokes in them. At the same time, he would be so serious and passionate about what he did that people paid to see him do it. Now flip to a midget beating Chavo Guererro...hows that funny

Cornette never said that wrestling should be without comedy, he just said it's used in bad spots. Too many people, like normal, are misinterpreting what's being said.
And by the way...wrestling would be MUCH better with the territory system. It's where all of our legends came from. There weren't farm systems used to make hundreds of people the same type of wrestler...all were original and unique. There's none of that now outside of the guys coming from Mexico like Del Rio.
TheAmpdradio 3 months ago 35
@TheAmpdradio truth. Jim's own example of House is perfect. House does have comedy, but its black comedy that mostly comes from how big of a dick House is, and it's used properly. You use comedy to diffuse tense situations, but you have to be very careful about it, especially when you are putting on what is ostensibly a drama.

@TheAmpdradio Good point. At the same time, all the titles that were used in different regions overexposed the use of titles AND it also meant pro wrestling was regulated. However, I'm not saying one way or the other is bad but I don't think the majority of people, in the US particualrly, would buy that again since Vince decided forget the territories and regulation--that way it saved money. It's almost as if you're damned either way.

Also after he loses a match, he rolls out of the ring and lands face first on the concrete and crawls all the way to the curtain.

Cornette is spot on again. When guys like Savage, Flair, Piper, Warrior, Austin, etc. cut promos, they did it in a serious tone, yet there was still humor there because they were so over the top. The humor stemmed from the characters and storylines. Nowadays on WWE/TNA, you have guys trying to comedy acts and crap out catch phrases all the time. Just like in theatre, you can't beat them over the head with the joke, you have to live it.

Examples of my point being Macho Man, Dibiase, Mr. Perfect, they could all be very funny in their promos, intentionally even, yet they weren't breaking character simply to throw in a gag, often times it went along with their arrogant charismatic personalities or helped build heat, where as in so many segments now its treated like sketch comedy without focus on building characters, or relevence to storylines or possible negative impact on fan reaction to the product. Imo :)

There's a big difference between Macho Man talking about "cream of the crop, yeaah!!" while talking himself up as IC champ, and say, some monster heel getting in the ring to do a dance off with Hornswoggle or something dumb like that. I've found a ton of funny promos on YouTube going back to the mid-80s and none of them were of the nature of a Tuesday Night Titans skit.
peterp21 4 months ago
I think people are missing the point a bit, I don't think Cornette is bashing superstars that are funny in their promos on other wrestlers and such when they are relevent and true to the character. The Rock calling people roody poo candy asses or austin making vince piss himself or whatever isnt the problem he refers to, it's out of character (or mic skill) gags, and blatant comedy acts like marrella or festus that cheapen and tarnish the more serious angles that sell the ppv's and draw houses.

I question Cornette's intelligence. Its kind of fucked that he's mocking WWE for trying to be funny when he was there during the Attitude Era with DX, Austin, Rock, Y2J, E&C, Foley and many others. He saw first hand how important the entertainment side of wrestling is but took nothing away from it. Back then WCW had much better wrestlers but WWF had better entertainers. Maybe his reliance on wrestling alone is why Cornette has never/will never be in the same league as Vince, Eric and Heyman.

This is really wrong in my opinion. There needs to be comic relief in wrestling because most families wont pay to see a show thats all aboutbrutal violence and horrifying storylines. PG or not, they want familes to attend, so they need to balance out the serious stuff with some light hearted stuff.

flightsnhike226 4 months ago
@treker999 The problem is that WWE is 60% comedy these days. It was worse years ago, but it's like matches are just a vehicle to get someone's lame catchphrase in (e.g., I am...AWEEESOMMME!) or some silly backstage hidden camera video of wrestlers doing something goofy. Comedy has its place, in spots, but not as an overriding theme.
peterp21 4 months ago
@treker999 I agree 100% with you, balance is everything. The main problem with comedy in wrestling (or maybe it's just the WWE and TNA), is quite often, it isn't funny or engaging. Comedy also relies on the strength of the wrestler's character and if his/her personality gets changed every five minutes then the humour is merely superficial. Another flaw with wrestling promos, regardless of comedy content, is their predictability, usually ending with someone either getting humiliated or beaten up.

Jim Cornette could have articulated his point a little better. I don't think he's saying there should be no comedy whatsoever in wrestling. He's saying there shouldn't be stupid segments just for the sake of a cheap laugh if it interrupts the rest of the show. If you have great drama with HHH or CM Punk, for example, and then there's a silly segment with Hornswoggle, it just interrupts the flow of the show... plus it's a waste of time. But some comedy is good, like promos to build matches.
