watching jim cornette break down hurts so much but what hurts even more is hearing him say wrestling was the funnest he had in 84 with ray traylor and the midnight express and after that it wasn't fun anymore. he's seen so much loss i cant even imagine.
the more these stories come through about amazing people who gave everything and died young just makes me hate the business so much (but mostly just hate shitty doctors who took advantage of desperate wrestlers in clear pain for a quick buck).
I don't think it's as bad as some of the episodes they made. The story about him passing is rough, but he didn't beat his kids or pull a gun on his wife or anything, if that helps you at all.

There's plenty of things I don't like about Cornette, but amount he cares about the things and people he loves isn't one of them.
It does seem like for the most part current wrestlers are taking better care of themselves, so I really hope we see less and less die young.

I got into this game through early 90s Colosseum Video tapes, I love me some Bossman.
Don't know if I want to watch this though, some of these are tough to watch.
