It’s fair to say Jim Cornette was not a fan of the Extreme Rules clash between Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan.
At Extreme Rules the long-running feud between Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan finally came to a head. Although Morgan entered the match as SmackDown Women’s Champion, she was undoubtedly the underdog against the former UFC star.
In the end, as many fans expected it was Rousey had her hand raised to become the blue brand’s Women’s Champion for a second time.
Speaking on the latest episode of his podcast The Jim Cornette Experience, the former manager, promotor and commentator gave his thoughts on the match. Cornette pulled no punches in breaking down the action, commenting that it made him want to take drugs.
“This is an inmate from a women’s prison against a girl scout. And the girl scout brings a baseball bat out and leans it in the corner and then they’re facing each other and she tries to go for it, Liv Morgan, and Ronda stops her but 15 seconds later she gets the bat anyway and Ronda just takes it away from her and tosses it out of the ring.
So the babyface in this equation is trying to use a baseball bat against the heel but the heel keeps taking it away from her and throwing it away. But God I want to take drugs. How about a new drug one that won’t make me watch wrestling? [Brian – Which drug is that?] Whatever drugs these people are f*cking taking.
So anyway, then Ronda beats up live for a while and Liv was under the ring and came out under the apron skirt as well and came out and did the fire extinguisher spot but she almost missed that because she started squirting the extinguisher while it was still underneath the apron skirt. And every time Ronda did something to her, the judo throws or she gave her a Piper’s Pit at one point on the floor, Morgan just jumps right back up.”
Cornette continued with his rundown before revealing that he couldn’t face watching the end of the match.
“Finally, Rousey gets the bat and hits six shots with a baseball bat on Liv. Now they looked like sh*t, you couldn’t tell whether she was trying to working hit her hard and couldn’t, or was just taunting her with the bat by not hitting her that hard. But Liv Morgan rolls in the ring after getting hit with a bat six times, starts a comeback and then Liv gets the bat and hits Ronda Rousey with it nine times.
A 120 pound blonde Barbie just hit Ronda Rousey nine times with a baseball bat. But fortunately, she couldn’t do any damage, because Ronda just went and got her Judo gi belt and whipped Morgan with that and Morgan sold the gi belt more than she sold the baseball bat.
Then Ronda got the bat again and hit Liv Morgan another five times. And Liv Morgan just posted Rousey to stop her from beating her with the baseball bat. And by now they’ve started just swinging it so effortlessly you can tell also it’s a f*cking wiffle ball bat anyway because there’s no weight to it. And then Morgan goes and pulls a table out from under the ring and I say you know what? Life is too short. I’m done. What happened? Where did they go from there?
Following her victory it has been reported that Rousey will be positioned as one of the top heels on Friday Night SmackDown.
