Jim Cornette: "There's things that have changed. Obviously, gas used to be 65 cents a gallon, and things change. But people go, well, that's old school because they're wrestling on the mat, or that's new school because they're flipping off the top rope, or whatever. It's not old school or new school. It's good and bad. "If it's good wrestling, that means that you're watching it and you're liking it, and people are buying tickets to see it. If it's bad wrestling, that means the sh*t sucks. It's boring, and you're going click, and you don't want to go to the building. Otherwise than that, it's not much difference. Old school and new school should be replaced by sh*t’s good and sh*t sucks, because that way we clearly understand what's going on. "In 1985, every match wasn't on the ground in an arm bar at a rest hold, which I never heard that term till it was coined on the internet or in the sheets or whatever. But it wasn't — ‘Nobody was breaking the rules, and there was no blood, and everyone was wrestling, and they shook hands, and they kissed babies.’ No f**k, there was blood, and there was guts, and there was furniture. But it was believable, and it was executed by people who knew what they were doing, and it was orchestrated by bookers that knew what they were doing, and it was telecast and broadcast to people who were enjoying watching it. And even if you knew that something is kind of off, you didn't know exactly what was happening, and that's the difference. "Now everybody knows every way to do everything. It's all over the internet. A lot of the guys, and this is not a knock on the performers of today, because a lot of them haven't had the experience or the place or the opportunity to learn or to be taught or to just get it. But a lot of times, it's not being executed properly. It's gone over the top. "It's like nuclear disarmament. You've got to f**king agree that the whole business as a whole is going to stop doing this sh*t before, because then you just find, well, in the other promotion they whack each other with chairs five times harder than they do here. So that means the other promotion's better. No, it means the guys in the other promotion are getting brain f**king damage. Jesus Christ! "This is an art. The art is to look like athletes, to come off like stars, and to engage in simulated combat in in front of thousands of people who can't see through it and don't know how it's done. That's an art."
