Outspoken pro wrestling commentator Jim Cornette recently discussed a Malakai Black segment that he was not a fan of on AEW programming.
Speaking on the Jim Cornette Experience podcast, the former owner of Smokey Mountain Wrestling stated exactly why he was not a fan of the Black and Varsity Blondes segment on Dynamite.
‘Tony Schiavone is now there with Griff, Brian, and Julia, she’s just a cute, adorable little thing, cuter than a brand new speckled puppy. However, again, Tony asks Griff a question, Griff says 2 words and then the lights go out” Cornette began.
“When the lights come on, Malakai Black has appeared there in front of them, I would estimate about 6 feet in front of them. And he blows the mist at Julia Hart, but he is too far away, and it doesn’t get there.
‘She screams and sells it anyway, and drops to her knees in pain while the lights go out. Then the lights come back on and Malakai has disappeared, and they have left poor Brian Pillman next to her and kneeling next to her, with nothing else to say other than ’˜Somebody get somebody!’ That’s a quote folks” Cornette noted.
‘[’¦]This was as phoney as a football bat” Cornette continued. “Every time that Malakai Black does this he gets less over, because he doesn’t know how to do it and no one is explaining to him how to do it, and they are not selling it afterwards. Either get it right or don’t do it” Cornette concluded.
