‘If you’ve ever heard Cornette talk for more than an hour…’ hell thanks to the magic of RUclips people these days actually sleep to considerably more than that Conrad 🤷♂️🤣
I remember in the early days of youtube whenever I discovered a Cornette shoot interview it was the greatest thing ever. I never imagined back then that we would eventually live in a glorious world where we would get 7 hours of new Cornette content every single week.
@@adamweishaupt2846I remember the first you shoot video I saw of Corny ripping into Johnny Ace, and looking up other videos! Man!!! Corny is very entertaining
Dream scenario: Bischoff, Cornette, and Russo meet up to finish it once and for all. Then you hear "Reporting live, Dave Meltzer." They turn and look right him.
@@Ziomaletto What are you talking about? Russo got a restraining order on Cornette for Cornette calling him out to meet up face to face to end it all. Cornette signed and sold the restraining order too!
I met Big Show when he was very young and in the WCW, in the Opryland hotel. He was extremely nice and friendly, he took a funny picture with me too, posing like he was about to slug me. Great guy, great athlete and great performer
Cornette is one of the greatest minds in the history of the business. You can hate him you can love him but you can’t deny him. Everything he says comes true sooner or later.
I absolutely despise his politics, but he definitely knows, and understands professional wrestling. I would watch any wrestling program that he was part of.
Agree with everybody. He knows wrestling history probably better than anyone. And he is very consistent in his views. There are people he personally hates, but mostly he looks at wrestling for the way it is done today more than the who is doing it. My opinion. Now, when you get on his s list, you stay there.
nah, he is pretty often full of crap. Yes, he is a great mind. But imagine him doing Attitude Era. He would cry about tits and asses everywhere, why people swear so much, why this, why that. Russo was great for that time. But Russo is too egoistical. And Cornette is too stubborn. They really should work together, but they hate each other too much.
JR and Cornette collectively have SO MUCH experience and wisdom in this business. It's really beyond the pale in terms of how much they know. I truly hope the younger generation of talent soaks all of that up like sponges. Because when these guys are no longer with us the business is going to have a difficult time. That's how important they are to it in my humble opinion.
JR I just want to say u are a living legend have watched u in every company u have been in. Ur a pillar of wrestling and there will never be another commentator that will ever live up to ur name Thank u for all the hours of fun.
Cornette is a person who when he talks you can't help but listen. He k ows his stuff and I'm a old school fan I haven't watched in years but I do listen to Cornette talk about the program
Not only about the business but I enjoy the bits of the show when he talks about everyday life like problems with his broadband or trying to pay for a ppv...
The irony is, if you read the reviews of AEW/WWE from the past 5 to 10 years from Russo, and Cornette, without knowing who said what, they essentially have the same take on modern wrestling. 😂
Thanks JR for always being a stable pillar in wrastling. I regularly re watch UWF and always look forward to your commentary. Fun fact, I used to watch UWF on a TV with a set of rabbit ear antennas that I had to continually adjust throughout the broadcast.
Big L from Conrad. Russo and Dunn almost NEVER come up on Cornette's shows anymore. Only when something on social or something topical happens. He hasn't really spoken about either in years unless they're in the news.
Im so glad we’ll always have these. One of my favorite parts of modern wrestling is getting all this information, stories, insight, and informed speculation. Guys back in the 90s early 2000s wanted this kind of stuff so bad! It’s awesome and it’s a way for them to keep working and making a living.
It's good for the business too! I actually started tuning in to AEW because of Cornette knocking it. I must be watching the wrong show because I love it.
Love Cornette he is the most talented at what he does and has amazing talent and knowledge and is very relavant on the industry past and present. He is 100% accurate on Russo and Dunn.
I always wished they would have tried to create another Andre the Giant type with The Big Show or even The Great Kali. Someone who was used very selectively and never pinned. So when that finally happened it shook the wrestling world.
There was one very big issue with Khali which was that he Couldn't work and had awful mobility. The big show could work and had Great athletic ability and mobility for a Big Man . Khali was basically Giant Gonzales 2.0
Not 1995 for sure...and not for parts of '96 either. He didn't actually go "full time" at WWE until 1996...and even into that year, it wasn't Cornette who was giving a guy like Steve Austin "The Ringmaster" gimmick.
I'm a Jim cornette guy I'm actually wearing that shirt right now He's the man nobody can deny it He's as funny as any stand-up comedian that ever lived but I may not agree with everything he says but you can't deny the guy is a genius
No one is going to take AEW seriously with jokes like that Orange Pockets or whatever that thing is called. Also u have Tony Khan, the jabron with the book that talks to himself at press conferences while the reporters are talking to someone else.
Big Show was a 24 year old D-1 athlete & Vince saw the next Andre the Giant. Bret was 40 years old, had considerable leverage in his contract, & Vince didn't think Bret fit in the direction he wanted to take the company. Bret may have been earning a million per year, Big Show it could have been something like 250K a year for 4 years. Basically Vince didn't think Bret was worth the investment anymore.
@@dantecarroll2435 it's also funny how all three of those business decisions turned out to be the right ones, regardless of salty fans feelings. It's an objective fact that he made the right call. Bret was the only one and even then he probably had 5 years, 2 years at his absolute best. Keep hating on Vinnie Mac but he's honestly batting like .800 on Talent evaluations
What's never talked about during all of this is Hogans WCW contract was coming up at the end of 1997 and Vince was in negotiations with him trying to bring Hollywood Hogan back to the WWF. Just speculation, although I have heard others allude to the same, Vince unloaded Bret to free up money in an attempt to poach Hogan from WCW.
More people watch Cornette's audio only videos than the second biggest wrestling company on the planet. I assume "polarising" is code for "I don't like him".
You do know that the wrestling business is dying right? So there aren't that many people watching wrestling related content. You IWC marks are notorious for gate keeping with your alternate accounts so that's why the wrestling business is dying.
Im watchin late 90s early 00s wwe now, and the Big show just doesnt connect. IDK why but non of it seems to land and his promo work isnt great then so it doesnt draw anyone in. I assume it gets better since he was there for so long and I wonder what they could have done differently
He never does, he had no motivation. Paul Wight went from World Champion and having PPV matches with Hulk Hogan at 23-25 years old, to being kicked down to OVW developmental because he was a lazy fat ass.
WCW got it right at first, making him an unbeatable monster and giving him a mouthpiece. Eventually they dropped the ball with him, but even still, WCW Giant is a thousand times more interesting than anything he did in WWE. You would have thought that having a guy who came in to wrestling as Andre's son, and WWF having actually had Andre there for years, they might have been able to actually use him properly. The made him just another guy who happened to be big.
Wrestling may be one of the few industries where guys that work together hate each other's guts. You hear of co workers not getting along in other industries, and, Wow.
@@thelordismysalvation3870The league would have lasted if he was good. He is a wrestling historian, but he never did anything good as a manager or writer.
@@thelordismysalvation3870 Was maybe him smashing a car with a baseball bat and pulling a gun on people one of things that screwed him over. The guy was a good Lt in a booking commitee, but he sure as heck ain't a General. He talks about indie mudshows all the time. I guess he never watched SMW or OVW products.
When they were commenting on Monday NIght Football's ratings dropping around 1998-99 time frame due to wrestling on cable TV, it reminded me of a comment made by Howard Eskin on "The George Michael Sports Machine" during the 1999 football season where Howard claimed the NFL talked to Vince McMahon and offered him $100 million to move Monday Night Raw off of Monday nights. I truly don't know how how true that rumor is but without a doubt pro wrestling did a great job at luring younger fans away from MNF.
At least I get to see and hear J.R all the time here on YT. Man, I wish they got rid of most of those flippy guys, have JR and Schiavone call AEW and had a nice old-school programme.
That is crazy to think big show jumping ship to wwe was discussed as early as dec 1996. This is before montreal screw job before mr mcmahon character before austin really became austin (you could argue austin became austin as early as 1997 with his feud vs bret hart but he did not become box office stone cold until 1998). I do think wwe did misuse big show he never really found his purpose in wwe. Part of it though was just there at the wrong time with legends like austin rock undertaker hhh easy to get lost in the shuffle. It would be interesting to see what Big Show could have been if he was born 8 years earlier and given the Diesel gimmick in wwf and the kevin nash part of the nwo with hall wight and hogan.
Thing is they were outsiders but he explained that he tried to help them understand pro wrestling and they were not interested in his opinion or his expert knowledge of what works and what doesn’t.
I absolutely love Jim Cornette's wrestling mind. Does he have his mistakes?.... Absolutely. And I have gone on record to call Jim out ON VIDEO for his mistakes. But damn, does he understand the business! HOF worthy!😊
"A Heel should not be the funniest guy on the roster" Exactly, and that's why the Rock is pandering too much, and only being a dastardly heel part of the time, while playing up to the crowd and trying to be liked the other time.. Really wish he stayed Hardcore Heel, all of the time
Jim Cornette loved wrestling to the point the business was his love child, he's been there way before the big boom along with JR they are both the same pedigree and have the same love for the business.... now throw in Vince Russo who is absolutely clueless and just wants women in the ring laying down making sex noises. Russo is a cretin. I'm so glad A&E show that revealed Russo as who he truly is happened, so everyone now knows how much Jim had to put up with. The fact Russo isn't dead and Jim isn't doing life in prison is truly unbelievable. Imagine the favourite thing of yours in the world has given you the ability to help improve it, then along comes a clueless idiot that just throws 500 ideas out and your boss takes some and amends them to somewhat work. And you gotta deal with that guy everyday.... everyone would absolutely hate him.

JR needs a better cohost.
I'm a simple man; I see a video about Jim Cornette, I watch.
Jim Cornette loved wrestling to the point the business was his love child, he's been there way before the big boom along with JR they are both the same pedigree and have the same love for the business.... now throw in Vince Russo who is absolutely clueless and just wants women in the ring laying down making sex noises.
Russo is a cretin. I'm so glad A&E show that revealed Russo as who he truly is happened, so everyone now knows how much Jim had to put up with. The fact Russo isn't dead and Jim isn't doing life in prison is truly unbelievable.
Imagine the favourite thing of yours in the world has given you the ability to help improve it, then along comes a clueless idiot that just throws 500 ideas out and your boss takes some and amends them to somewhat work. And you gotta deal with that guy everyday.... everyone would absolutely hate him.
CONRAD NEEDS TO GO AWAY! He has no product knowledge at all 😂
Corny always refers to him as shit’stain. 😂😂😂
JR acting like he wasn't a cheeseburger away from neediness his own plane.
IMO Cornie could have been the Steven Spielberg of wrestling shows but couldn't make the film because of politics.
The Rock has been the funniest guy before and was a great heel.
Steph had TWO talents.
Cornette rules
8:35, so Hogan was a stooge all along to put WCW out of business
LoL. Hogan haters will spin something fierce, no matter what. It couldn't possibly be that Hogan and Paul Wight were actually friends.
This had almost nothing to do with Cornette. Nice to know that JR'S team likes clickbait titles so I can stay away from the channel
I really wish Jim Ross wasn't such a shill and would just be completely honest.
Cornette is GOD!
He is a CUCKHOLD to THOUSANDS of Rasslers over years.
Corny should’ve gotten inducted this year with Paul
Might as well seeing how the WWE HOF is a joke so might as well bring in a failure like Cornette.
@@ElAssoWipe-o cornette a failure? Who do you think was running ovw when cena orton Batista Benjamin cm punk and lesnar was being trained?
@@veganpenguin9857 Cena was never a draw, liar.
@@veganpenguin9857 How do you not know that Cornette was fired from every company that he worked for?
@@ElAssoWipe-o you’re literally retarded
Well, Paul Wight SHOULD have gotten Major Star pay; he IS, after all, Andre The Giant's son!
If you listen to Corny for more than an hour he explains in detail why he despises bucky beaver and shit stain
Cornette looking like a prophet rn with the shit show AEW has turned into 🤷♂️
JR is too nice sometimes. Just tell us what you mean man. Vince Russo sucked Jc is right
The mortgage provider has had his run
