Taking to X.com, Jim Cornette has unleashed sharp criticism on Ronda Rousey’s lightning-quick submission victory over Gina Carano, suggesting the bout was a blatant, scripted cash grab. After Rousey secured a 17-second armbar win at the Netflix-backed MVP event, the wrestling legend mocked the fight on social media with a satirical exchange implying both fighters had already secured their pay before the bell even rang. With combined purses reportedly exceeding $3 million, the suspiciously rapid finish has sparked widespread doubt about the legitimacy of this high-profile comeback clash, although most believe Carano was simply outclassed.
Fight fans have savagely condemned celebrity boxing and MMA spectacles in recent years, branding them as glorified cash grabs lacking true competition. Notable examples include Jake Paul’s controversial victory over a sluggish 58-year-old Mike Tyson, Logan Paul’s exhibition against Floyd Mayweather, plus KSI’s bouts with Tommy Fury and Logan Paul. Detractors argue that these overhyped events shower participants with tens of millions in purses while frustrating hardcore audiences who demand authentic skill rather than faded stars going through the motions.
