And this boys and girls is how you cut a promo on the fly. Jim Cornette is the man.
Even worked Stephen P New into the angle!
@@garrettmillerdrums That was epic.
I don't even know if this is true or a work now! 😄 Man I love this!
I don't think it was on the fly, but who cares, so good.
Wwe/f fucked up by losing cornette. They should have kissed his ass to stay . Wwe would be in better shape i guarantee it
A promo off the top of his head makes Jacob Fatu sound like even more of a monster.
Jesus Jim. You sold me on a hypothetical feud. Can we just send writers here to listen to this man?
I bet they do
@Jaime Dale 100% agreed
The writers don't have the passion and belief in what they're ostensibly selling the way Cornette does, that and great talent for the art is why this is so much better than anything a team of random TV writers can come up with.
The man has talent. What more can you say.
I’m sold!! Now I’m looking up Jacob Fatu. That was better than any WWE promo since Mark Henry’s.
Cornette is nothingless than pure genius. A top of his head promo makes me more want to see this guy fatu more than anybody in wwe in 5 years.
He's also a bigger carny than Vince.
He had me sold on JF
All I could think of during his Fatu promo was "take my money!" Genius level promo
Made me so intrigued I had to google him.
Fatu will be in aew in 2 years when his MLW CONTRACT IS UP
"He [Fatu] doesn't have any grudges here... but I do." that part gives me chills
"He [Fatu] doesn't have any grudges here... but I do."
That's a great promo.
Jim's heat instantly becomes Fatu's heat.
Then six months to a year later after being pushed to far by the manager, Fatu turns on him and becomes his own man. Instant face turn OR unleashed monster who's a threat to anyone and everyone.
Majin Buu after he kills Babidi
I'm on board for this.
and when he turns face put Lana on him and do a divorce angle :D ??? PROFIT!
@@V3rmundr hell naw, keep that shit out.
Hey bro thats a good ass angle u just came up with. I would watch that and I've never seen Jacob Fatu lol. Even listening to corny was my first time hearing about him. I dont watch today's wrestling.
Holy crap that promo. I may not agree with Cornette all the time but my God he's amazing at promos.
Just Imagine Jacob Fatu with Jim in AEW as Jim's hitman going after everyone he hates.
Bye pockets bye kenny
That's an awesome idea
Him and The Revolt could be Jim's stable.
Omg I'd die to see it, and I like some of those guys but cornette cutting promos on them and fatu killing them would be amazing
Poor marko, orange cassidy and oliviviei🤣🤣🤣
Holy hell! Goosebumps on cornys promo when he said “ I do” on his grudges
Cornette is damn near the biggest heel in AEW and he doesn't even work there
Vince McMahon will always be the #1 heel in AEW.
@@Ticketman99 nah. Vince knows his product is dead.
@@rjskum688 Yet nearly everything done in AEW has an anti-Vince tinge. It's partly justified, but we saw what happened when TNA did the same thing.
@@Ticketman99 I see what your saying. When TNA tried to go head to head with WWE, WWE was still a wrestling power house. Today the WWE is in pretty bad shape.
@@Ticketman99 The sad part about TNA is before they tried to go head to head with WWE they were actually putting on a better wrestling product, they just got too big for their breeches.
They had the right balance of household names and up and coming young talent, and had a roster that you could pull two names out a hat and you'd have booked a 4 star match.
I actually think early TNA was better than current AEW they just didn't get as much media attention.
Damn that promo as Jacob Fatu's manager just gave me freakin chills... I miss shit like that... Beautiful!!!!
I would become a fan instantly.
Damn he's good. Best promo I've heard in a while and he's been retired for years.
Right? Now I really wanna see him manage Fatu, lol
Mike Mirch I didn't even know who Fatu was but now I want to see this angle.
100th like
Pure genius, a promo off the top of his head like that! Cornette is national treasure!
Nick aldis is the national treasure
Cornette giving us the high ...that we miss so much in modern wrestling.
We really need managers back in wrestling. I think that's a big part of the problem today. There's often a disconnect...But when you have a manager like Jim Cornette, Jimmy Hart, Gary Hart, Bobby Heenan, & they introduce a new guy that person is pretty much instantly over & at least recognizable & you know they must be somewhat legitimate. They're also able to cover up the weak spots.
No point unless they stop backwards booking heels shouldn't be cool and faces shouldn't be bitter and whiney
Mainly it's having a personality that you're good with "vouching for" somebody new/to-them. It's a branding exercise. Back in the day if someone got with Heenan you know they meant business.
Only thing is nowadays that doesn't work cuz you now remember Paul Heyman with Curtis Axel.
Amen to that.
We need managers who are willing to stay managers. " not wrestlers who still want to be" wrestling.
As well as we need consistent tag team who are willing to stay tag teams. WWE needs to put a stop to, taking two superstars out of the blue and making a tag team having having. run over consistent tag team when they were put together with no real meaning behind it it would never going to last.
Go Back to Basics consistent Good Guys consistent bad guys.
If the going to have professional writers let them come up with real reason "why this bad guy or good guy with turn"
There's real no purpose for managers
Try even finding a Bobby Heenan nowdays though...
In 3 minutes on Jacob Fatu, Jim came up with 1 year of a story/feud. Shit aint rocket surgery
To those who say Jim is out of touch. This is why we laugh at you, dude is a wrestling GENIUS.
Also shouted out to WALTER, Dragunov, Theory, Starks, Hobbs, etc
Call Jim a dinosaur, if you wish - but he knows the business inside out. I heard of Jacob Fatu the 1st time - but I instantly had to look on YT for this guy. I miss guys like him in Wrestling today, he can make a guy look like 100 Million Bucks in a flick of a second.
I still come back to this clip, and when Jim says "But I do....", I wish I could see him in the middle of an AEW ring saying that with Jacob Fatu snarling at his side.
We need to protect Jim Cornette at all cost.
The Fort Knox of Wrestling.
Who else came back here after Fatu signing to WWE.
🙋🏾♂️🙋🏾♂️
The simplicity (yet genius) promo honestly got me more pumped than ive been in yesrs for pro wrestling
Man After Promo On Fatu Proves Why Cornette Is The Goat.
Yep, love it.
Jim cut a promo on a relatively unknown guy (I watch MLW but not many do) off the top of his head in 5 mins better than what two teams of writers can come up with in 2 weeks at WWE 🙃
Vince would change it as they go down the ramp.
I always thought Jim Cornette would be great with Mark Henry
A couple months ago Mark got pissed with Cornette over that 30-year-old joke on NWA Powerrr. He probably wouldn't want anything to do with Cornette anymore, which is sort of ridiculous because Cornette's delivered the line multiple times in the past, and nobody gave a shit then, and yet social justice warriors today had to make accusations without looking at all the evidence. Personally, I don't think Cornette should be directly involved with wrestling organizations anymore, because somebody always wrongs him or is a complete tool to him to the point where he leaves.
@@hankthetank8039 Wrestling was ok until social injustice warriors got involved I can't watch it now, specially the likes of RUclips wrestling channels who think they could make it better, have literally destroyed the business.
@@mojojojo4865popular youtube wrestling channels talk about wrestling in such a way I just don't think they understand wrestling, but do a great job of validating other stupid fans, it's how they've gotten so popular. They then teach new fans how to misunderstand it and there's no going back lol
@@hankthetank8039 Not only that but other ppl commentators and even comedians have been making that joke for decades
Wrestling is a joke now, the new generation is so much better than the shit we get now.
Here 4 years later.. Jim spinning his presentation of jacob Fatu is genuinely more compelling than anything currently on AEW
They should have made Shelton Benjamin a Cornette guy instead of a Heyman guy.
cryospiral I agree with you. Shelton Benjamin is a technical guy. Cornette would be perfect for him. Paul Heyman is great for the big, destructive monsters that destroy the competition. Imo, Heyman is perfect for guys like Brock Lesnar, Goldberg or The Road Warriors. He’s great at building up guys to be unstoppable.
@@39Hundred facts! SB should've been billed as a technical marvel & with Cornette by his side it would've been perfect..... WWE, so many missed opportunities.
@Giggzi999 Heyman has been working with the WWE people as t the top of the food chain recently. Lynch, Lesnar, McIntyre, etc. Heyman definitely still has it as well.
@@39Hundred Agree 110% His run managing Sabu has to be some of the best promo work I'd seen.
cryospiral - Definitely
Benjamin could’ve been a main event guy if he had a real manager and not his “mom”
why is the damm near the best promo I've heard in almost the last 3years, and it's a hypothetical promo...damn I miss what wrestling once was.
Josef Samael is a fine modern manager for Jacob Fatu but Cornette is just on such a different level.
Shame Jim's forgotten about WALTER though.
OMG that Fatu promo was fucking Godly. Shit got me so hyped that i forgot it wasnt a real promo and was drawn in like it was audio from an actual show. Your a fucking Savant Jim damn.
All I can say about that Jacob Fatu promo is...YES PLEASE!! Jim may be the only man that can save wrestling 🏸
Same.
That promo for Fatu is a hidden gem, holy hell!
(Great ideas for the other guys too)
I rewatched Macho Man's WWF debut the other day. After the match started, all of the heel managers came out to watch him. That was a tremendous way to give instant cred to a wrestler that the audience might not be familiar with. Having The Brain, Freddie Blassie, Fuji, and Jimmy Hart come out and offer their services to him made Savage look like the real deal.
I love to hear Jim do promos on the fly, it amazes me how easy he does it.
Jim really does love this business I hope things change and we get to see him manage again ❤️
Scary how this video popped up on my recommended after that awesome match between hammer & fatu last week
It's 2024. Fatu and Hammerstone have both appeared on WWE TV
The art of storytelling is lost nowadays but Corny still got it.
I remember being a child thinking Jim Cornette and Arn Anderson are pretty much the back bone of wrestling. Now I’m 39 and they both have podcast... and I still feel the same way. Thanks for some of my best childhood memories.
Hammer is a great talent. The dude is so damn good, and has all the tools. Don’t know if he even needs a mouthpiece but Cornette could make him a top guy day one guaranteed
I don't know which one of these guys are better hammer & fatu. Jim Ross is gonna try to sign these two.
I am surprised AEW or WWE hasn't signed the guy yet
@@gamechanger700 are with MLW for another 5 years
Jacob Fatu with Cornette vs Roman Reigns with Heyman would be such a money match
Too bad this guy was chased out of wrestling. He is still so passionate and sharp.
He wasn't Chased out of anything he voluntary left's because the state of pro wrestling.
I think you should listen to this
ruclips.net/video/t1UEcDxduQE/видео.html
@@jumboincredible I mean the Ethiopian chicken joke response. That was close enough to chasing out to me.
@@brandonwhite4992 Corny didnt let the backlash from that joke bother him at all. He actually won in that situation.
@@brandonwhite4992 I get what your saying though. Pro Wrestling needs Corny.
Can't wait to hear Jim's reaction to his debut, this promo would hold up if he was to say that about Jacob fatu right now it would work perfectly
Jim Cornett is the king of booking, this is genuinely unhinged levels of character build that AEW Mary Sues can’t ever begin to comprehend
The promo on Jacob Fatu was the most I've been entertained (wrestling wise) in at least 2 years.
Damn!!!
Jim off the cuff cut a hell of a promo for Jacob Fatu so awesome that he's got me cheering for the guy EVEN THOUGH I KNOW IT'S A "WORK!"
Can you imagine that Jacob fatu promo today???
"But i do"
I come back once a month for that line alone😂
Jim is a genius. Made me want to look up Fatu and Hammerstone.
And now he’s signed to WWE, and it looks like someone heard this and they’re going to implement exactly that lol. Someone owes Jim money!
I love listening to this man. A freaking genius of wrestling!
I haven’t watched wrestling in decades but Jim Cornette just hooked me on a wrestler I’ve never heard of in less than 7 minutes.
Jim just of the top of his head came up with a better story and promo than 99% of current WWE creative's stuff
C'mon Jim, 1 more time! Don't let Heyman take your crown!
Not possible
Hammerstone is great. He does the moves that a lot of the modern guys do, which I guess is unavoidable these days, but the guy looks like Thor, is just jacked up, has a perfect face for being either a babyface or the asshole heel, and has some great power moves. Plus he’s got the size, in that 6’3” 265 area.
At first I thought the image depicted Jake "wannabe Chewbacca" Hager and was disappointed.
I had no idea who Hammerstone was. Glad I stuck around. That dude is BEAST!
After Jim Cornette's off-the-top-of-his-head promo for Jacob Fatu, I now need this program to happen for real.
I was sold on the Fatu promo
After listening to this I need to go watch more MLW.
They have a good diverse roster, some big dudes like davey boy jr, hammerstone, holiday n the vonerichs, good heel factions, a few martial artists, pillman jr and lots of luchadors. Plus its got a great look to it, bright lights, and tightly packed venues like old ecw. Its very good.
Kurt Shastany Major League Wrestling vs. Ring of Honor. Which promotion is better???
Cornette is too smart for WWE so they don’t like smarter people
@@Mr.Majestic77in my opinion mlw has been consistenly better all of the last 2 and a half years.
MLW is awesome
I saw Jacob Fatu at an indie show a while ago, and while I really enjoyed the matches previous, the second he came out it felt like he was a star. He has that amazing presence, he looks fucking mean, his moves look great. The dude has the IT factor in abundance
that fucken freestyle promo was amazing
Cornette can just freestyle an amazing promo. Wrestling still needs him.
GOD I wish AEW had you running the booking and stories
Damn straight, there is no question that there are a lot of really talented people on the AEW roster, they just need to learn how to add a bit of realism to the product and take out some of the goofy shit, and learn when enough is enough, know when to use a squash match and learn that not everybody ought to be portrayed as a top guy. If you have a nobody going about able to go 20 minutes with your main event guys then you've just killed your main event guy. Just because they can put on a great match doesn't mean they should.
I mean I'm sure there are extras in Hollywood movies that are capable of putting on award winning performances before they get their big break, but when they are just man at bar they shouldn't be given a long drawn out emotional scene with Sandra Bullock, and if Batman upper cuts one of the Joker's unnamed henchmen they shouldn't K'up 3 seconds later and body slam Batman.
NWA and TNA and MLW and AEW should ALL just pay Jim to consult.
I Agree
Well he worked for a few of them and it didn't go well. Maybe if they let him make the decisions but the there's always someone to put heads with
🏍🐓🥤🍟
But then Jim might say a colorful old phrase/joke/etc during a taping and it airs 6-8 weeks later and low and behold you have an instant controversy cuz omfg Jim how could you say such horrible things all Willy nilly off the cuff that cast the NWA in a bad light? If you hadn't blindsided them with that during their taping 6-8 weeks prior they could have edited it out and saved your job and thus kept you commuting to Georgia once a month or so! And we all know how much you love to commute!
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 impact had Cornette back at the time they got bought/out by the Canadian company and moved their operations/tapings up to Canada.
Outside of the fact Cornhole would never commute up to Canada and back, he technically can't go to Canada cuz [reasons/stories]
Cornette had me sold on that killer promo. Bravo sir, bravo.
Hammerstone vs mjf in mlw best match I seen in ages
He mentioned The Masterpiece...reminded me of one of the most awesome stories ever...Chris Masters pulled a tree out of the ground to use as a battering ram to save his mother who was being held hostage in her burning home. Dude downed a rooted tree..and used it as a battering ram...well, I think it was more of a Hulk Smash type thing. ""Chris then called the police, who had trouble getting into the house via
another entryway because a tree was blocking the windows. Desperate to
save his mother, Chris “bear-hugged” the tree and uprooted it; he then
used the tree to break the window and pull his mother out of the house
to safety!."" That is from one article about it. I saw him by the downed tree. That was a large root ball and a good size tree he pulled down
Damn Cornette sold me on the backstory and he told me he was going to mix fiction and facts
Hammerstone is the man!
That Jacob Fatu promo was a thing of brilliance.
also 100% agree with War Machine having endless potential.
Thanks for the Jacob Fatu promo as manager. Love the show gentlemen!
Jim's quick Jacob Fatu promo is the reason why Jim Cornette is maybe the greatest manager ever. Make a come back Jim, before they f it up for Jacob Fatu.
Wrestling needs Jim Cornette
Hammerstone and Fatu are two major stars in the making and def deserve to be on the main stage. I recently watched that pacific whatever wrestling on amazon and went on to tell my buddy’s about how good both of these two are. I’d seen some of Fatu previously, but watching him some more just reminded me how great he is.
Outside of Jake Roberts, Jim Cornette still has the better promos of anyone in the business.
Jake Roberts' promos often depended on a menacing vocal inflection and creeping horror feeling that set in when he was saying his clever shit. Nowadays he doesn't have that vibe anymore, so even if what he says is technically pretty good it just doesn't have that "total package" that's like giving Liz a drink or 20 and a pill or 5 on movie night!
@@sinicalypse Yeah, jake's not a degenerate anymore, lol
Jimmy Hart was solid too
@@sinicalypse what in the flying fuck are you on about lol,Roberts still has it,maybe now more than ever
Heyman is a better promo. Cornette is a great ideas man though.
Man, Jim cutting that promo...hell yes, ALL day! 🤘😎
Corney and jacob fatu vs roman and paul heyman!!!!!! Holy shit!!!
I can't stand watching pro wrestling now. But if Cornette managed Fatu, I would be watching it every week.
I don't really watch AEW, but go back and listen to the couple of promos Jake Roberts has done this year. Dude still cuts a fire promo.
Stopped watching it a couple years ago. Only wrestling that I watch now the old matches on You Tube,. Preferably videos from the original broadcasts.👍. If I see an old school video with the WWE Network logo, don't even bother watching it. They going to edit and cut out anything not PC in 2020.
@Mr G check out some of Jacob Fatu’s matches. He vs LA Park was a great brawl.
They need Jim to be the Wise man of the new bloodline branch
Corny still has it
Now apparently he signed to wwe
Cornette’s epic fake promo and angle is better than anything on WWE or AEW.
My god, corny still got it. I'm all in on Jacob fatu and I dont even know who he is lmao
It's kind of wild that MLW has two of the best workers not on national TV and they seem to be doing absolutely NOTHING with them
Fatu and the guerrilla's of destiny! Vs Roman reigns and the uso's
Jim, you HAVE TO get back in the biz. That promo was the shit!!!
jesus, man!! jim never lost it.
i was feeling that promo and i aint watched wrestling since 2000's Jim could bring me back off the top promo crazy
that "promo" for Jacob fatu what the FFFF youre the GOAT!
That Fatu promo is just ridiculously good!!!!
The black sheep idea for Fatu is interesting, but the rest of it just feels like it would come off really phony. The Hammerstone idea is pretty similar to what they already do with him in MLW.
Amazing promo...no writer needed...on the fly. 👏👏
Damn. I sure do miss the managerial prowess of Cornette.
We need to start a petition to get Cornette in AEW, either writing or as a manager.
he could phone it in over Skype or something from his house
Cornette on AEW is best for business
Impossible. He needs them to stay relevant but instead of calling them and thanking Kenny and the Bucks for keeping him afloat, he needs to continue to shit on them because that's all he's got at this point.
Corny wont do them this favour
@Joe Greene sure Joe. That's why they were beating NXT regularly and signed a 3 year deal with the network. You don't have to like the product, but trying to insult it and their fans for existing reeks of insecurity and sadness. Don't watch and don't comment.
Or if you do comment, be confident enough in your own cognitive abilities to formulate your own opinions rather than parroting the ramblings of a bitter old man who has lost touch with the present day.
@KaneMagus it makes up more than half of his podcast content so yes, yes he does need AEW.
Not. Gonna. Happen. Yeah it could be fun, especially if he was allowed to "shoot" with some if the things he's said on his podcasts (just imagine him cutting a promo on Kenny Olivier and calling out his jazz hands) but yeah, you know the bucks + oliviet + friends have had their fee fees hurt too many times over the years to let Cornhole hop on board of their $$$GRAVY TRAIN$$$ that is AEW.
He needs to get with the Revival.
Don't you mean.... Uhh fuck was it. The Retort? The Revenge? Oh fuck what was that trademark they filed for their new name?
The Revolt
Epic promo.
I watched Jeff Cobb in New Japan and instantly thought that he should be a super Kurt Angle/Tazz suplexing machine. C'mon, AEW. Get your shit together!
Great promo Jim. Wow just seen it.
And "Reigns"... I see what you did there. Helluva promo
Wow I was listening and forgot this was a podcast. That promo was so damn good!
And, that right there Ladies and Gentlemen, is why James J. Cornette is the best manager ever.
