I don't think Lance Storm was ever a star although it's arguable based on what you consider a "star". He had a very brief window as an over upper midcarder who maybe could have been one but that's about it.

Corny's OVW had the last class of guys who actually became stars and not NXT's version of sign ROH guys, re-name them and call them up. (Orton, Cena, Batista, Brock, etc) You can argue in the weeds that Brock was a NCAA stud and Cena had the high profile indy run and was in a wrestling doc before WWF, yada yada...

Nobody knows who Jack Evans is. Lance was on TV in front of X million of people for several years in ECW, WWF/E and WCW.

Jack Evans worked on tv in front of millions of people in mexico and aew's ratings are not much different from ECW's. Dying WCW ain't either and Jack is on AEW still is he not? Jack also isn't arguing he's a bigger star than Lance is he?

Roman Reigns. Never worked for anyone else went straight to developmental and is absolutely a star.

1 guy in 15 years sort of proves the point when 2002 alone had 4.

As far as Storm goes, Storm was part of one of the biggest drawing wrestling PPVs of all time, the Invasion -770K- (which had basically zero to do with his position). Evans is just a guy on the card too, but he's a guy on a show that is struggling to hit 1 million viewers on cable, with a fervent 100,000 people who buy every PPV.

I was picking an example but sure. Also We just saw that AEW isn't struggling to hit 1 million from the DVR numbers that came out.

I don’t catch all the Cornett podcasts anymore. They’re kinda all the same. Most of the episodes base around AEW, and it’s a lot of “they did a spot I didn’t like in the match. So I fast forwarded. This person did something dumb years ago. So I fast forwarded. Two women were wrestling. So I fast forwarded.”

I don’t watch wrestling anymore. I still read about things and watch a clip here and there. He’s given everyone in AEW nicknames to the point where half the time I really don’t have a clue who he’s talking about.

And the whole co-host screaming as loud as he can bit has gone on long enough. Whenever he gets to plugs I just hit the skip a bunch of times until I think he’s done.

Mandy Leon being a Cornette stan seems out of character but Idk her that well outside of helping ruin ROH's women's division (not that there was a lot to ruin) and dating the booker (which is probably only reason why she has been employed by them for 5+ years but I mean she has also dated Delirious for 5+ years so good for her?)

Anyway, as always I simp stan Thicc Mama Pump

That's just more lame than offensive. He's not even trying.
