That OVW class of 02 Will probably go down as the best developmental class in the 21st-century. The amount of main stream star talent developed in that class is incredible
Cena and lesnar alone makes that class legendary
Of all time
thats about when i stopped watching actually
@@sublime90 And millions still watched
@@kamfisher1714 I want a younger fully roided Lesnar vs. roid Overeem rematch.
The story Corny told about bringing his Mum to a sold out Louisville Garden is amazing. Brought a joyful smile to my face😊
A great “Hey Ma, I made it!” moment. Warms your heart 😊
Proof that Jim Cornette has a heart.
had to scroll the comments rn to see if anyone else got touched by that moment. that was great
What Vince did for Mr Cornette about that house, was nice. It shows how grateful and genuine Cornette is by bringing it up.. Respect
People want to believe Cornette is just a out of touch grumpy old man and to be honest he can be at times but he’s only grumpy because he CARES about the business probably more than anyone in the business today and hates seeing the state it’s in and not being able to do something about it. He will give someone a lashing for sure but only if he thinks it’s deserved and he doesn’t hesitate to give someone their due if they do something good/great. That’s why I love listening to his podcast
Despite all the shit Corny has said about working with WWE, he never hated Vince. And Vince loved Corny. There was never any bad blood between them and Vince even gave Corny a hug and welcomed him home when Corny was in the HOF. Corny only hated the people that worked with Vince.
Jim Cornette and Danny Davis’ OVW made an entire generation of stars. Im sorry but WWE will never be able to recreate it. As big as NXT and FCW were, OVW probably did the best for Vince and the WWE. To bad it took so long for them to realize.
@Blaine's Wasteland Now that class is full of hall of fame worthy wrestlers.
A nearly 1hr monologue on how a proper westling school should be ran.
They can sure learn a thing or two! Lol
For free too!
Jim Cornette made an amazing throwback to the Ruthless Aggression Era
As someone who lives in Louisville and enjoyed OVW during the Cornette era, I can't stress how special it really was. So many names, outside of Orton-Lesnar-Batista, etc came through the system. There were countless talents who were worthy of being promoted or were misused and didn't make it due to WWE creative.
I could listen to Cornette talk about OVW for hours.
MNM were great
The fact they turned someone like Nick Dinsmore into Eugene just goes to show how shit WWE Creative was
@@Dustindonahue01 yeah
@@Dustindonahue01 was?! Still is shit
Johnny Jeter was legit
For me Ruthless Aggression was as good as Attitude Era since I was old enough to understand a little more while not too old and critical yet.
HHH, Cena, Orton, Lesnar, RVD, Hardys, Batista, Eddie, Kurt, Taker, Mysterio, Torrie Wilson, Edge, Stacey Kiebler, Rikishi, Trish, JBL, Lita, King Booker(Bookah), and Goldberg finally coming over. Plenty of other names as well including Vince and Shane on screen characters. Teddy Long and those SmackDown tag matches 🤣
Edit : the older and bitter smarks need to take some blame. Y'all pushed for every underrated indy guy to get a chance and helped drive actual superstars and character away. Even now when someone has a potentially over character you want them to be serious.
@Awesome Sauce a 50+ year old boomer Smark? I named more people than Cena and he wasn't super Cena then. Dude was midcarder at the time. And I didn't compare them to anyone besides the Attitude Era and didn't say they were better than Savage or Luger. I'm pretty sure smarks like you were shitting on Lugar and Savage hoping for a Barry Horowitz push.
I actually feel sorry for you grandpa. You've seen the greatest wrestlers ever but now you're old and bitter in YT comments talking about the good ol days. I am glad I missed out on being 50+ in YT complaining that wrestling doesn't give me the kayfabe feeling I had from 40 damn years ago. TNA was also great but topic about WWE Ruthless Aggression.
Smackdown Here Comes the Pain on PS2 fits the names perfectly.
@Awesome Sauce ah the classic Vince is out of touch defense. Every star wrestling gets smarks try to run away. Cena was certainly a bigger star than Magnum TA. You hated Hogan too I'm sure. Smarks always hate who is popular. You're a 50 year old man or the typical smark who is just rattling off great names to discredit current wrestlers.
Saying 3 of the top 5 greatest wrestling stars (Austin, Hogan, Flair) doesn't take some elite level knowledge and is akin to naming Jordan, Rice, Babe Ruth during a sports topic. It's blatantly obviously none of the people I named are as great as the wrestling mount rushmore. But this is Cornette video so I expect people to not be able to do anything more than say something sucks and bring up unnecessary comparisons just as an excuse to argue and bury something. Imagine being an old ass man calling people kids and being indignant about professional wrestling after admitting it hasn't been popular for over 15 years.
@Awesome Sauce “Super Cena” no it’s called being one of the biggest draws ever. If that’s the case there was a “Super angle” and a “super sting”
@@davyjones2032 Cena in 2007 alone was better than tna, stop the nonsense. They couldn’t do his schedule with his great matches. TNA is Little league shit.
I watched this documentary on the WWE Network the other night... and the messed up thing was that I got an ad where it was a documentary about Keith Lee...
the ad had Foley and Regal talking about how good he is... wasn't Keith fired? lol that's F'd up
Trouble is, Jim calls out Ciampa and Breakker as exceptions but that's because Ciampa was an indy guy, the type they don't recruit anymore and Breakker is second generation. So there's essentially no hope for the future of their home developed stars because their process can't develop top talent from scratch and few times it does, turns out it wasn't really from scratch.
NXT 2.0 is basically OVW during this period. OVW had indy talent in the company but it was the college athletes that were recruited who were the stars who had the longest careers and the indy talent rarely made a big splash when they did get called up compared to the recruited non pro wrestlers. It's hard for people to see the positive because the OVW years weren't televised nationally to see how the big stars were made to recognize when it's being done right.
@@jasonfrost64482.0 is a worse, watered down version of ovw
If only Stephanie, HHH, and Shawn Michaels wasn't so busy trying to get their friends jobs down in Florida, and Johnny Ace wasn't in charge of talent relations, maybe OVW could have actually progressed through the 2010s
I miss the ruthless aggression
era and I miss when wwe had actual stars on their weekly programs and stage designs felt unique and everyone had a certain look. Now everything feels stale from the wrestling to the storylines.
Everything? You need to pay more attention.
Nostalgia is why these eras are liked.
I miss those cool stages they came up with.
@@garyhen1707 same here it made the ppv's more special and each one was different than one another. Now all we great is a giant led screen no effort put in to make it look different than a regular TV show
@@jjbjjb273 very true! I really wish Vince would let shawn, hunter and a couple others help him with this stuff now. Could be a very pleasant change.
The Ruthless Aggression era was the last good era of WWE. I dont think it was better than the Hulkamania 80's era or the Attitude era, but in many ways was better than New generation era. It was the last time WWE created a big star in John Cena and stars like Brock Lesnar, Edge, Batista, Randy Orton, Jeff Hardy, and good runs for older guys like Undertaker, HBK, Eddie Guerrero, JBL and Rey Mysterio
Pretty low bar to be better than the new generation era
@@maxxdahl6062 IK
I'd add Benoit to that list. Also sucks punk and Bryan came in a tad too late.
@@garyhen1707 No, it’s actually a blessing that Punk & Bryan didn’t come in earlier. If they did, WWE probably would have put them in the Cruiserweight division for 18 months and then sacked them, because they were “too small”.
@@james_the_animator I don't think so, because they got over on their own, the fans would've done the same thing. If the fans demand it at shows, the wwe would have pushed them, they were forced to do it when the fans were overwhelming behind those guys both times!
Cornett can always take credit for that just having just one Cena, Orton, Lesnar, Batista, let alone 4 at the same time is gold. That's like 4 Diamond records then to have Benjamin & Haas sheesh.
I have great memories of seeing OVW at St. Therese's school gym. It was tiny but it was personal. Used to enjoy that quite a bit.
Jim Cornette is definitely one of the 10 most important people in the history of the company. Without him, Danny Davis and OVW, WWE would be screwed post Attitude Era.
I really liked during the episode that John Cena made a point of shouting out Cornette and explaining how vital he was.
Don't say to Dave Meltzer on Twitter or he'll say how out of touch you are and bla bla bla.
I'd say top 5! Jim cornette, Along with vinnymac, Eric bischoff, Paul heyman, and the Jarrett family tied with jerry Lawler
@@brandonwhite4992 Yes! Unlike goddamned Seth Rollins who could’ve give Cornette credit without also publicly mentioning heat he currently has with him.
@@broussard41 that's because Seth is like a lot of these modern wrestlers who are big Marks. Cena was not only a fan but a student of the game. Whether u hate him or not. Cena always remembers and praises all those who helped him in the business. Let's not forget Cena tried talking Vince into not screwing OVW over for years.
Tough enough produced Maven.... OVW produced Batista, Orton, Cena, Lesnar, Punk, Lashley, and so many others... Nuff said
Punk was an ROH original. OVW made the others, but not Punk.
Wow! Jim has suffered a lot because of his love for pro-wrestling. Yeah, he may not get some of the new stuff but still even today he's one of the greatest mind in pro-wrestling.
Very true!
He was there during the golden age that will never be surpassed. What a life!
At 8 years old, all i could watch was OVW. My fave wrestler was Seth Skyfire. His theme was headstrong.
I miss those days
I SEE YOUR FANTASYYYYYYY
I really think HHH and Cornette would be a PERFECT pairing if we could've got them together for booking/training. I picture the perfect blend of old school wrestling and modern big time production with the right guys getting pushed... with NXT underneath talent BS of the past 3 years not existing because we'd get a more well rounded show
WWE owes OVW, Danny Davis, & Jim Cornette a huge amount of debt to them! Without them, we would have been where we are now in wrestling Without stars. They kept the tradition of wrestling alive and created new stars to shine and carry the torch after the attitude Era ended. Since then nobody's has been able to pick up the torch since then. Sure, Roman, Kenny, Offspreay, Okada & a few others are hot rn. But they aren't recognized worldwide like the folks before them. Whether you like or hate him, Cena was the last big star in the wrestling business and nobody's been able to carry the torch since he stop wrestling full time. That's mostly WWE's fault. However the fact that no other company was able to take advantage of that window is proof that there's a lack of stars in today's wrestling. I really hope either WWE, AEW or hell even the NWA really focus on building the next biggest star in wrestling.
I was just baffled that they actually showed Benoit in that episode.
i think for video of him they are relaxing but not saying his name, bc they realize when they show the history they can't dance around him without scrubbing full matches with HHH or others
@@spookerredmenace3950 I hate to be negative ( for real and not my heel promos ) but I can't think any other person in the public still adored long after what happened with Chris. I wasn't a big fan of his either way because I secretly root for comedic villains for some reason, but once I got the truth on Benoit In real life I was done with him .
@@jeffmac9642 no no fair play, i agree, what he did was horrible, but there IS so much video of him that when they do show past matches , he is hard to get around like The Radicalz coming in from WCW, they have to show him, i doubt his son is getting money from him from wwe,
@@spookerredmenace3950 Agreed. I never watched the network. I actually found some old Memphis stuff on RUclips. I guess Bobby Eaton beat Jerry Lawler to become King Bobby. That's so classic. Once a week I watch an episode of The Littlest Hobo on RUclips. You ever hear of it? Canada had a series in the 70s with a dog 🐕 smarter than people . Classic.
@@jeffmac9642 adored is a bit much. For the most part I see people respect his talent. Some people can separate the art from the artist. Some can't. Neither is wrong.
Jim talking about Mark Henry and Paul Wight shows the value of having knowledgeable people doing the training and teaching guys the mental as well as the physical. Mark and Show from what I've seen throughout their careers could tell a story in and out of the ring, they both had some of shit Stains influence on some of their storylines and angles, but they got it and became hall of famers because of the basics they learned and it sounds like in Henry's case especially gained a better understanding and appreciation for the business and all the other guys involved in it. Mark seems like a genuinely sincere human being who loves what he does and cares about the people in it. He ain't no mean Gene doing interviews in the back, but in time I think he'll keep getting better. You can tell guys who were trained to respect the business by veterans. Imagine if Keith Lee and Karrion Kross had been brought up through developmental like Cena and Orton were, I think we'd be looking at a much different but better product because of it.
Long-form Jim is the best Jim.
Thats what his wife said ! Heh . Naw . But for real i agree . I love when Jim goes in depth on topics ! Ive listened to every pod every youtube spot for years ! I listen to more Corny than actually watch wrestling these days !
Totally agree....I'd love something like this and less reviews of modern wrestling at least once a week or every couple of weeks.
@@KClouisville You from the Ville ? Im from Lex ! HAHA ! killer man ! The cult alive and well in KY !!! But yeah , I agree too ! Jim gots a wealth of wrestling Knowledge and hes NEVER boring no matter the subject !
Corny is a national treasure. When it comes to understanding the business, he's playing chess while the WWE and most of the indie crowd is playing checkers. I feel like truly great pro wrestling will never be seen again once his generation is gone.
Great listen. I always like Cornette's history lessons, especially when it's something he cares about in the business. He's honest, he's a great talker and he has a fantastic memory.
The big 4 on mt rushmore! VinnyMac, Eric bischoff, Paul heyman, jimmy cornette, without these great promoters we would have no wrestling currently. These are the 4 guys tony needs to emulate if he wants to be the 5th on the mountain eventually.
That '02 class is a prime example of how important it is to take time properly training wrestlers, that group looked the part immediately when they moved up to WWE, at least in terms of ring fundamentals.
I love listening corny relate memories of OVW, Midsouth, JCP, but when he starts telling stories about OVW you can hear it in his voice how much he loved that time and revered the business as a whole. I didn’t get to see much OVW being that I was living where I was at the time. I would have loved to have taken the amateur class when I was in shape. I could sit here and listen to these stories for days
O loved going to the OVW shows. WWE made a huge mistake leaving Louisville
Jim, where were you when I went to Wrestling school? If I could’ve found a school like yours and would’ve known any better to find a school like yours, I would’ve been there in a heartbeat and paid whatever I had to. I ended up going to Jimmy Dio’s dungeon in Reading Pennsylvania and was only ever trained in the ring once by him. Every time I ever showed up after that, it was just me and the random person who would stop by his gym like Mick Foley or Wahoo McDaniel or somebody like that, who would get in the ring and teach me a few things. But other than that, it was essentially me teaching myself the moves… For which I paid $3500 to do so, something I have been learning since I was in high school with some of my buddies on the wrestling mats at lunchtime. For which I didn’t have to spend $3500 for. My friends and I were setting up rings in my yard from the time I was eight or nine years old and that was back in the middle 1980s. So I generally already knew how to take a bump and already knew most of the holds without killing somebody… I just needed somebody like you to teach mom what you were talking about with this broadcast. I was born to be an entertainer, always had that outward likability. In fact, it’s what I ended up doing throughout my life so far is entertaining people. Whether that be in bands or comedy or a random wrestling show that shows up in the area. It’s always been something along the same lines.
Which is irritates me that back then, there was very few ways to know any better and any local wrestling school that was around certainly didn’t want you knowing about anything better. Because they were staring down the barrel of that $3500 per student and not giving a crap whether or not somebody went on to make a career, especially WWF or WWE. Since they were never able to break through themselves. The crazy thing is, the one school I didn’t know about was Chris Adams, when she was running with wahoo… I spoke to both of them on the phone about it before I chose, stupidly, the place in Reading because it was close to me. And I could’ve paid them $5000 and been wrestling in WCCW or WCW. Getting all of the real world experience I need it, as opposed to Wrestling in Hamburg many years after WWF had abandoned the place. Which, by the way it was still a great Wrestling town when I did my matches there. But, obviously I gave you no TV exposure or the know how to take the cameras into account.
Thankfully, people have the resources to check out the viability of the schools before they go to them now. Many more decent trainers out there today who were once a part of WWE. So they know how to teach you the WWE ways, in order to get a better grasp on what to expect if you get a chance to go there.
In any case, I thank you for your extensive knowledge and the fact that you remember all of the stuff so many years after. Foresight you had to write all of this down and keep all of those records, just amazing. Show us your love and commitment to the business. Something very few people have anymore.
As much as Corny hates Rick Bassman (probably because he got the Ultimate Warrior his start with Powerteam USA), Cena DID start out his promotion before OVW. Shit, that's where Samoa Joe got in with Hashimoto and ZERO ONE. A bunch of wtestlers went through UPW before they got big like Victoria, Aaron Aguilera, Sakoda, Mike Knox, Heidenreich, Kazarian. I worked in the production side of things and it was nuts!
Yeah I saw an episode with a young Miz starting out with a tag partner, and saw DDP as special guest wrestler of some sort.
Screw the secrets, it’s doesn’t matter what business you are in, it is really stupid idea to have unnecessary people running into your training sessions distracting and interrupting the class.
CM Punk did talk about John Cena being one of the few guys to tell Vince McMahon "That's bullshit!". And a lot of the OVW guys did tell WWE they were leaving, unfortunately most of them didn't go to other wrestling promotions.
WWE has lost touch with reality, or at least the owner and management staff. Older territorial wrestling was so much better and believable. Maybe..to go forward, you need to go back!!!!! Back like it once was!
I have listened to this whole thing and Jim essentially answered this, but I just still don't understand: how did WWE see 4 mega stars come out of ovw, including 3 possible top 20 all timers and say, well let's switch it up now and be more like the NFL. The answer is ego, but I just don't get it.
watched all of season 2. very well done for the most part. Pat Mcafee did a great job narrating. I hope he is on more stuff. they had some never before seen behind the scenes clips. they could do season 3, other potential topic episodes covering that era.
McAfee is annoying.
@@danielburger1775 i find people either love his delivery or hate it.
Im sure one of the wrestlers being interviewed mentioned Rip Rogers
I know jim has the deep dives on ovw. I think or HOPE jim can get out the old books and do a deep dive on ovw from 02-05. I think that needs a further look at those talents and changes and Jim's booking at the time.
I've always wondered. If Corny had such an issue with WWE interfering in OVW, why didn't he just cut ties with WWE completely and run OVW as an independent territory?.
They were too interconnected. Corny could have, on a much smaller scale,; but, it probably would have ended up like Smokey Mountain. The WWE involvement gave them more opportunities for bigger shows, tv, etc and also the odd star come through to help boost attendance, to showcase the trainees, both developmental and home-grown. It worked best when JR was head of talent relations and gave Corny advance notice of when they were bringing guys up, so he could write them out of tv. The problems didn't start occurring until Laurenitis took over and kept yanking people without notice. JR understood what Corny was doing and agreed with his philosophy. Laurenitis was a yes man, who kowtowed to Kevin Dunn. JR kept the balance between "wrestling" and "sports entertainment," as much as anyone could.
Wwe owned part of OVW, wwe was paying corny during this time.
That's crazy both Big Show's and Mark Henry's first match was against two of the best professional wrestlers (Jerry The King Lawler & Hulk Hogan) of all time on Pay Per View.
Even crazier Big shows was main event and for the belt I believe.
I remember the monster truck match. And Giant got pushed off the roof. Then he was on WCW the next week like nothing happened lol
@@MrJjburgess11 Hogan was like “I’m sorry Andre.”
@@romewilliams3526 😂😂
Ruthless Aggression era was very funny because you had the Lie Detector segment with Hogan and Vince and then you had the reuniting of DX that messes with Vince's Mic which was one of the funniest segments on RAW and the Segment where they dumped excrement from a Porta John on Vince and Shane and the Spirit-Squad. Among other funny stuff.
This is very insightful as always, from Jimmy. I appreciate how he really breaks down why it was important to keep things basic, too bad folks up there in WWE land never listened, bothered to listen, wanted to listen, or understood why listening was invaluable to the future of their product.
I laughed when he said "SOMEBODY GET SOMEBODY!"
And I realized that's probably what I would've said 🤣
I watched the Hollywood Rock & Shawn Michaels episodes and really liked them. Too much Bruce Pritchard for me personally but that's just my opinion haha. I was surprised they didn't have a modern Rock interview though. Is the relationship not good right now? No video packages or anything on Survivor Series either, no tweets from Rock, nothing. I would say that's a bad sign.
Well they spent all of Survivor Series talking about him.
@@leemarshall674 yep but it was all 1 sided and all signs point to the fact that he couldn't give less of a shit about Survivor Series. That's odd.
Rock is a very industrious man. He is on the move 24/7. WWE might be his home, but fitting a wrestling appearance on his schedule must add to the harshness of the grind.
Was Sawdust the Rhodes brother that didn't make it?
Completely under rated comment. You win the comment section!
Let say WWE honored Davis in hof and they asked Cornette if wanna induct him would he accept or decline?
Well, Jim induced the Rock And Roll Express in the WWE HOF a few years ago. So I don’t see why not.
Yes.
37:17 - the first wrestling show I ever attended was in that high school gym in Oolitic Indiana! It was so rad as a child to see Mark henry and Paul ( big show ) in a little no name town in Indiana. Immediate nostalgia overload!
The small gym setting, without the big production and fluff. Just raw, real wrestling.
I wish things like that still happened around here -so I could take my kids
Booker T ROW is pretty much the modern OVW. From the USOS to the new nxt signing Draco Anthony. Draco Anthony is not a performance center talent and made it to nxt 3 months after being signed.
They didn't bleep fuck but bleeped C U Next Tuesday twice lol.
Vince and his WWE couldn't be farther away from that era 'talentwise' if they were based on Mars.
The sad thing is that WWE have had guys who could have been huge if they had been used properly.
Instead, everybody has been used incorrectly.
@@danielburger1775 AGREED
And all those big spots are great. When you are paying off a big story line(like hell in the cell Foley/Undertaker).
Or just paying off a story line now. Those big spots arnt supposed to be used regularly or they get stale.
The good old days of no indie charisma vacuum fncks given a chance and actual real life stars. I grew up with the RA Era and it will always have a very special place in my heart. Thuganomics Cena, Benoit, Mysterio, Angle, Lesnar, Undertaker, RVD, Eddie Guerrero, Orton, Hollywood Rock.
WWE and AEW better listen to this
If I was crazy enough to create my own wrestling company. Instead of on the game, Jim would definitely be my go to guy. Hell he would be the the I hire.
Off topic, i watch and like Nwa, but this weekends event was horrible. Trevor is my fav of course. To be honest without Nick aldis, they wouldn't make it at all
Is this the same Danny Davis that was a referee in the wwf in the 80s?
Yes.
Maybe no.
No
58 minutes of Cornette! Enjoy everyone!
*clicks immediately*
Cornette is dropping so much good knowledge about the business in this clip
He'd be an invaluable advisor or coach to some younger talents..
I am glad Jim got those last years with his Mom while he was living In Louisville.
Vince left fans without shows to attend Dick the Bruiser's old territory is non existent.
Clarksville seafood is the best. Grew up in Sellersburg in the 80's. Live on 22 in Crestwood now.
First the Chucky series and now Cornette. You can say fuck as much as you want, but can't say the C word lol
Kevin Dunn aside. 😂 😂 😂
Anyway, I love how Jim can talk and is never at a loss for words. These are his best videos.
In my opinion, *Bray Wyatt* is the best all around pro wrestler & character to come out of developmental since they moved to FCW & NXT. He’s one of the few guys that were truly home grown WWE talent. Most the other guys, like Seth Rollins & KO, were already doing their thing before WWE, they just cleaned em up to fit their product better. Bray/Windham created something truly special.
This didn't age well.
Best class ALL TIME in the history of wrestling is the class of Brock, Bautista, Cena, Orton, and Shelton… The reason I say of all time, it’s because these were all men built like Vikings that could cut promos, fly like eagles, lift like Arnold, and sell like Wall Street..
I used to work at Wicks pizza, I can't remember what year it was but wicks used to sponsor the OVW back then, all the wrestlers at that time would come to wicks before the show and would eat pizza, I remember seeing mark Henry there as long as several others I think it was around the time that C. M punk was at OVW before going to WWE
The OVW? Brer Hart, is that you?
@@StoneColdSergio a winner is you!
Wick’s Pizza Party Zone!
Vince McMahon Jr. is turd that won't flush. I quit watching wrestling after the territory days.
Compare the people signed under Jim Ross to the people signed under John Laurinaitis.
"You cant have-ah the Mango!"
Someone get Jim Cornette to watch an episode of “Tough Crowd” with Jackie Mason. 😂
This is awesome content. Love this stuff.
This will be good
TWICE i tried to watch this vid and it jumped to 2 other vids. I can't win.
I started this video and after 20 minutes, was totally lost on what the subject was. But, Jim is such a pro that I'll listen to him for hours. Also: LOL @ "Big Fat Bucket Headed Fuck"
BTW the Msrp is the manufacturer's suggested retail price lol
Won't lie, I popped when Jim says McDonough, home town!
One of these days someone's gotta ask Big Show & Mark Henry about who bought the air conditioner.
In my personal opinion. Mark Henry became a hall of famer working with you jim an danny. An learning at ovw. Love the show.
I listen to Corny for the epically humorous shit he says, off the cuff. But hearing him expound knowledge is top notch too. He'd be a great 🛎 advisor or coach to some younger talents....
"Lewavl", Kentucky
Weather you like Cornette’s opinion or not, he’s got some great stories and he’s even better at telling them
OVW is currently owned by Al Snow, Matt Jones, and tge mayor-elect of Louisville, Craig Greenberg.
My back s hurting jim i cant count 3 ,thats the danny davis i know
The sequel to the FCW documentary. The finale of the OVW Omnibus.
Is the Danny Davis you talk about the old referee
No. Look up Nightmare Danny Davis. He wrestled in the Memphis Territory back in the day and lived in the Louisville area.
Man I came up around wrestling WWF house shows at the gardens uswa at the gardens in your house ppv etc but there was never a more fun time in my life around wrestling than when cornette was at ovw
We get the CCK 🤣🤣🤣
Kenny Bolin sighting
Yo Yo yo Cornette! My Man! I think I got a great idea for Wrestlemania this year! Of course it involves you having a match with Russo in a street fight. Here is my idea, please consider- On Raw they video you visiting the grave of Bobby Eaton when all of a suddent Vince Russo, his two sons, and Scott Steiner roll in on a truck. And Steiner hits you with a pipe and puts you in the Steiner Recliner. Russo then says "Cornette, either you admit wrestling is fake right now to the cameras or my two boys are going to relieve themselves on Beautiful Bobby's grave! "NEVER!!!!" Is your retort. "Let him have it boys- (his sons then begin urinating while you shriek out NO!"). Eventually you pass out to the pain of the Steiner Recliner. The next week on Raw Russo does an in ring interview gloating about making you pass out. You storm out to attack when out of knowhere Rikishi hits you with a samoan drop on the ramp. Steiner and Rikishi then drag you to the ring where you receive 3 or 4 Banzai drops. Steiner then positions you in the corner and holds your arms down while Rikishi gets in position for a stink face. Russo demands "Admit wrestling is fake right now in front of all these people are yor getting the worst stink face ever." You mumble (because of the internal injuries) no. Rikishi proceeds to really lay it in there. ( You then stay off Raw for 3 weeks nursing the injuries). But demand a match at Wrestlemania in a cage! (to keep Steiner the boys and Rikishi out). At Wrestlemania the cage is lowered and it is just you two. When all of a sudden, one of the cameramen puts the camera down and takes off a fake wig and mustashe to reveal himself to be Stan Lane. Stane lane then stands by you and pats you on the back like he is on your side. He then low blows you and yells "SWERVE" into the mic. He then pulls out a poster that reads "Midnight Express". Russo gets on the mic and says "admit wrestling is fake or Sweet Stane is going to burn this poster." You say never again. And the poster is burned and spat on. Finally, Vince McMahon comes out to the ring and says "Thats enough of the foolishness- I demand a strete fight now!" And while Russo is pleading with McMahon on the ropes to not have it happen, you sneak up from behind and school boy him for the 1 2 3. As the referee is raising your hand a banner is lowered that reads "Wrestling is Real You Dumb Republican" as the credits begin to roll. I hope yu like the idea and consider it for your comeback- if not that is okay too! Just keep rocking these great interviews man! DIG IT!
Lmao I think you're very lucky Cornette doesn't know how to see youtube comments.
I wish he would consider it. I think it would be a good way to finish his career and lead into him entering the HOF@@frostedbutts4340
If it wasn't condusive to learning in ovws environment,what about away,and Verne garne and his unheated barn?

OVW had a better pedigree in producing talent compared to NXT where only a few became stars.
Jim cornette is the best personality ever in wrestling
Only one thing I disagree with and it has nothing to do with wrestling. Jim mentioned you don’t put comedians in a room with other new comics for a show but that’s exactly what happened and Jackie Mason was on it a few times but was outshined pretty much every time. The show was called Tough Crowd, it pulled up a lot of skirts and showed which ones are truly funny people.
Danny davis the worlds most dangerous referee he was an iter
That’s a different Danny Davis
That's DANGEROUS Danny Davis.
OVW owner is NIGHTMARE Danny Davis
@@TheMagnificentMongoSlade Which one was in the Galaxians?
He was an interesting referee i use to like watching matches he refereed
IIRC, "Nightmare" Danny Davis was a completely different person then WWF Referee/Wrestler "Dangerous" Danny Davis.
Jim always gives it Rick Bassman
Nxt should have been a modern day ovw
Imagine WWE since about 2004 without that OVW class. Honestly, probably the luckiest Vince had ever been stumbling into that.
One think I liked about the episode was Cornette’s explanation about “wanting to get out of Connecticut” in a family-friendly way, whereas on here he’s more like “I’m aggravation eating and I just wanted to get the FUCK out of Connecticut before I strangled Shitstain with my bare fuckin hands!”
