"Most absurd thing I've seen" - Jim Cornette slams AEW segment involving former WWE Superstar

Jim Cornette has slammed an AEW Dynamite spot involving PAC, stating that it was the most absurd thing he has seen.PAC teamed with his Death Triangle teammates Fenix and Penta Oscuro to take on United Empire's Will Ospreay and Aussie Open this past week. The match saw the trios compete for a spot in the final of the AEW Trios Title Tournament semi-finals.Featuring a handful of wrestling's best high-flyers, the match naturally boasted high spots and acrobatics aplenty. One of which saw PAC climb from the top rope to the tip of the ring post, before performing a moonsault into Aussie Open who stood below. The former WWE star had a small margin of failure from such a height and such a small surface area to stand on. He took his time to nail the move but some fans have maligned the fact that he took 32 seconds to do so. Wrestling legend Jim Cornette agreed with the criticism as he questioned the believability of the spot, slamming it as absurd as he posted to Twitter.&quot;This is the most absurd thing I've ever seen-- WHY WERE THEY STILL DOWN THERE WAITING?&quot; - Jim Cornette via TwitterJim Cornette@TheJimCornetteThis is the most absurd thing I've ever seen--WHY WERE THEY STILL DOWN THERE WAITING? twitter.com/WhoIsDonSteven…Kenny Olivier@WhoIsDonStevensIf it takes you 30+ seconds to execute a move...might as well not do it lol 1358133If it takes you 30+ seconds to execute a move...might as well not do it lol 😂😂😂 https://t.co/mEynkn2l66This is the most absurd thing I've ever seen--WHY WERE THEY STILL DOWN THERE WAITING? twitter.com/WhoIsDonSteven…Death Triangle would eventually lose to Will Ospreay and Aussie Open, after PAC was attacked by Kip Sabian and Fenix and Penta were left outnumbered.Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks emerged to confront their semi-final opponents, with Kenny cutting a heated promo towards Ospreay.Did fans agree with Jim Cornette's assessment of the AEW segment?The wrestling fandom is a cornucopia of opinions, thoughts and feelings towards particular matches.
