The subtle brilliance of Corny is on full display here. So young, but so polished. So precise. He drops a good joke in here. “I’m doing push ups, sit ups, chin ups. I threw up one time but I’m okay now…” then he kept rolling. No pause for the laugh. Cause he’s a heel. He wasn’t telling a joke. That little pipsqueak is proud that he trained so hard he made himself throw up…. To fight a woman. Corny trusts the audience enough to get it and enjoy it without him hanging a sign on it. That’s confidence. That’s how you do comedy.
That's something a lot of modern heels/heel managers today don't understand. They need to occasionally turn around and wink at the audience to make sure everyone "gets the joke".
For those that didn’t know why we listen to Cornette when he explains how to cut a promo and how wrestling SHOULD be in less than 3 mins he gets more heat than all the wrestlers combined on 3 hours of Raw
When the WWE/WWF (Monday night) RAW starts, there is usually a long 20 or 30 minutes promo. Jim Cornette's / Corny, here, is like the 1980's "Micro Machines" guy, "Motormouth" John Moschitta, Jr. from New York/Yawk City
@@TheWarmupLap This program was two hours long, with plenty of interviews to drag things out. Still, it wasn't all interviews with a few matches thrown in as window dressing.
Cornette: "Cause I'm gonna show you that it takes a good man to beat you, but it don't take him long" Sunshine: "Hey, hey if it's gonna take a man to beat me then why don't you bring one with you" I love this promo!
Him, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, "The Fashion Plate" Freddie Blassie, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, Paul E. Dangerously (Paul Heyman)..... Men like these made Wrestling what it was back then-GREAT!!! Now? Not so much....
After years of watching and listening to Cornettes interviews, podcasts, altercations and run ins with the law I firmly believe everything Cornette did as part of his wrestling character he would or has done out of character. There is only one Jim Cornette😂
Don't forget David Manning. Since he was a booker, he always made himself a center of attention on camera. Here, he leaves Rick Hazzard to face Sunshine's wrath alone.
Low key not bad here, although you could tell she was expecting Cornette to show up. But she displays a lot of confidence here...sadly, she's in the ring with the quickest wit in the business.
Ladies in NWA were overhyped in their hey day if you ask me. They were just eye candy for 1980s knuckle draggers, and had no real impact to promos or storylines.
Modern heels/ heel managers would do well to watch and learn from classic heels like Jim Cornette on how to get heat, make fans absolutely hate you, forget that you're just a performer, and make them foam at the mouth to see you get your comeuppance.
@@chadzard4 For a joke to make people laugh, they have to play a part, to "get" it. If you say "sold on more street corners," it is like explaining a joke and people don't have anything to put together as the joke.
Last time I checked, a heel in wrestling is a bad guy. You don't expect a bad guy to say the nicest things. It's like George Carlin used to say - it's not about language or jokes. it's how they are constructed. if you're a heel, you're not a role model. So if you're trying to censor a heel character, you're a moron, because a heel character is supposed to be a jerk. That's one of the problems with wrestling today - nobody's a true heel - they're just lame, faceless nobody's.
No... that wasn't acting. She couldn't keep her lines straight but can have that type emotion on cue. The enraged and expressed albeit forcibly controlled aimless walk lol
I think that match with Sunshine may have been Cornette's last night in World Class. He and the Midnight Express were with Crockett by the end of July.
When he was born, and the Doctor smacked his little hind end... I wouldn't have been surprised, if he reached over, and slapped the Doctor... Whilst still hanging upside down! 😜🤪😜🤪
By the way, credit to Marc Lowrance for not saying or doing anything that would have ruined that segment. He very subtly helped get that angle over. He may not have been an elite announcer, but he was underrated in my opinion.
LOL I love Jim and Sunshine here! No offense Jimmy but why do you look like an eight year old trapped in a 21 year olds body? LOL. I'm kidding great promo
When Cornette says "lemme tell you something" it's already too late for you.
😆😆😆
Fact 😂
Babyface, lawn maintenance guy, or seller of spoiled mayonnaise…you’re done 😂
His mind works so fast and his mouth keeps up with it. He’s truly once in a lifetime
I ain't never seen anybody any better at it...
Except for maybe Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.
In my book, they're both tied for first place!
"I threw up once but I'm okay now." LOL

Well articulated. There can be comedy in wrestling when it's done right like this. Not that goofy shit we see these days...

@@Yoni123Even when I was a kid and he was in the WWF and I disliked him the way he was going for, he still made me laugh
The way Sunshine sold that drink to the face was epic. It was like she'd just been shot.
She acted like it was a cup of piss with the fury she put on.
Yeah like that was the first time she. Taken it in the ( FACE ). Lol!!!
It's like she wasn't told he was going to do that
@@ParticleLarry he walked out with a cup lol if someone walks out with a prop they are probably going to use it
She sold the spanking from David Von Erich well too
For those that didn’t know why we listen to Cornette when he explains how to cut a promo and how wrestling SHOULD be in less than 3 mins he gets more heat than all the wrestlers combined on 3 hours of Raw
He certainly knows how to get heat. He also knows how to cool em down too.
More Street Corners than the Dallas morning herald.... Now that's a money line, and positively scandalous for mid 80s Texas
I'm from Dallas. This is an underrated comment
Yep..us Texans with the "oh Lord," and then look at our kids "YOU BETTER NOT REPEAT THAT!"
@@ddave7026 And then all the kids went to school and repeated it
Crazy that her outfit is ultra modest by today's standards
I was repeating that at school in the UK Deep South in 1991 lmao
Jim's Experience segment on this brought me here. Classic! 🤣🤣
same
@@bakedape5867 yep
Same.
Same.
Real fans watch this every day
That’s how you do a promo for an angle. Quick and to the point . Go out there get “ heat” and leave. Don’t drag it out like they do today.
I agree. But If TV shows were 3 hours long then they might have done the same.
All they do these days is run out and beat up the person talking

I love this promo!
Awesome stuff.
"The Jim Cornette Experience number 536" brought me here 😂
did he now?
“Fighting for air and fit for nothing.”😂
To me corny is easily in the top 10 greatest promo/talkers in wrestling history.
Top 5 easy
Him, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, "The Fashion Plate" Freddie Blassie, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, Paul E. Dangerously (Paul Heyman).....
Men like these made Wrestling what it was back then-GREAT!!!

Not so much....
Who’s better?

It is a miracle he is not locked up. He admits to trying to kill Terry Landel with his car.
@@JEGFL85 Not to mention the restraining order that Vince Russo put on him a while back.
It's true 😀
@@damightybenstein telling Brock Lesnar to his face that he’ll pull out a gun on him without hesitation is another classic one. Balls of steel
They always say the best wrestling gimmick is that same wrestler’s personality just turned up to 11!
I love how quickly he bails after the water shot LMAO
Quicker than Earl Hebner after the Montreal screwjob lol
classic heel move
Gotta get out before the crowd gets a chance to jump
Beep beep
Don't forget David Manning. Since he was a booker, he always made himself a center of attention on camera. Here, he leaves Rick Hazzard to face Sunshine's wrath alone.
The threw up once line is quality
Sunshine never got the props she deserved
She got a nice zinger in and sold that water to the face like a champ

The little headbang when he throws the water is fuckin epic
Ha. Like he is so evil and enjoys it so much. Taking a mental snapshot. Thanks for pointing that out. Laughinh
Lmao
Haha

That's something that Dominick Mysterio is great at.
The audiences hate on him, like no other!
They are all too beta now
@@ronaldshank7589lol marks
Man she was pissed when he threw the water in her face. 😂 dammit Jim! 😂😂 Sunshine did a great job!
Old school heat. Love it
Yes, absolutely
The promo god himself...
"If it's gonna take a man to beat me, why don't you take one with ya?"
Great comeback
“Bring one with ya”
"YOU'VE BEEN ON MORE CORNERS THAN THE DALLAS TIMES!
HELL LOOK AT THAT OUTFIT YOU GOT ON"
Jimmy's a fucking scorcher
I loved Marc's response lol (he's a preacher) water out of that Dickie's barBQ cup
He should have said SOLD on more street corners than the Dallas Time Herald!
He said it correctly.

Saying that about a women in Texas at that time, Corny was lucky he made it out the building alive

I don't think she was expecting the drink to get thrown in her face....her reaction looked real to me.
That means they both did their job
No... that wasn't acting. She couldn't keep her lines straight but can have that type emotion on cue. The enraged and expressed albeit forcibly controlled aimless walk lol
Sunshine made this seem completely real ! I was captivated
Cornette was great as always, but give credit to Sunshine as well. The way she reacted when Cornette threw the water in her face was incredible.
Someone send this to Tony Kahn so he can learn to book wrestling.
Without his glasses and gaudy suits Corny almost looks like a normal guy. 😆
The Jim Cornette Experience brought me here!
This is awesome. Thanks for posting.
Here before the experience crowd
Cornette looked like he was 35 years old from the time he was 20 until he was 50.
I was pretty young during this era, a pre-teen, but something told me that Sunshine was something special.
Cornette's promos are next level, fo real😅
........."More street corners than the Dallas Times Herald"......🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Corny was 🔥🔥🔥
That was a perfect precision water splash
Corny... Always the best. The dark mix of southern diplomat, shock jock Perfect promos
I hated how Vince treated Scott Casey when he finally made it to NY. Sunshine was Sunny before Sunny made it big.
Like a machine gun of hurtful words…
Brilliant! So much heat here, loved it World Class!!
"You know about Richard Simmons, personal friend of the Cornette family." I spit up my orange-vanilla smoothie onto my keyboard when he said that.
OH MY GOODNESS..... oh my goodness. Ive seen it all! Lol jims head bob he does after he throws the water had me dying!!
The second I saw the cup in his hand I knew where it was going.
I think that match with Sunshine may have been Cornette's last night in World Class. He and the Midnight Express were with Crockett by the end of July.
Sunshine was so underrated
"I threw up, once but I'm okay now." So quick witted. One of the best promo men in the business.
Corny is a wrestling god.
That drink idea was a good idea Geno!!!
With the old school Wendy’s cup
Corny in another life would have made a excellent battle rapper. His ability to come up with insults and colorful language on the fly is unsurpassed.
The whole video was less than three minutes - about a tenth of what it takes for a Seth Rollins promo, and ten times more entertaining.
Sethy is a clown.
Great segment
One of the Best to ever do it.
Look how he just cuts the promo with ease.
Jim is a national treasure. Protect this man at all costs!
“You been on more street corners than the Dallas Morning News.”
I sware that's a Wendy's cup Cornette's holding.
You WHAT?!
Dickie's BarBq cup lol
One of the best talkers of all time. 2nd best manager of all time
No way she was expecting that
Fuckin' Jim got heat
He looks like Chris Prat !! Lol
That’s how you do a heel promo. At the end of it, the audience knows she’s gonna kill him, and we all want to buy a ticket to see her do it.
Cornette is something else 😂😂😂😂
He's been a great talker and could draw heat since the day he was born. 😆
When he was born, and the Doctor smacked his little hind end...
I wouldn't have been surprised, if he reached over, and slapped the Doctor...
Whilst still hanging upside down! 😜🤪😜🤪
Cornette is a living legend period dot
They can’t put that on CBN!
Her promo on Jimmy Garvin/Precious is one of the greatest promos ever by either gender
Awesome! Saw this as a kid.
Sunshine was so cute and cornette is a genius.
Why would this promo be "infamous"?
It's quite an iconic promo from that era, and for all the good reasons.
1:49 the look on David's face.
Yep "This gonna be good😂!"
By the way, credit to Marc Lowrance for not saying or doing anything that would have ruined that segment. He very subtly helped get that angle over. He may not have been an elite announcer, but he was underrated in my opinion.
I've seen it all. We'll be back.
Would have been a lot more effective if her outfit wasn't actually pretty conservative.
For the time it was very escort, the gloves the jewelry
Glorious lack of political correctness.
He is speaking the language of gods!
..now that's a silver tongue lol
How does he do it????
Classic Corney
Those were the days.
Promos don't get much better than Corny.
I occasionally binge watch coryns promos
I was waiting for this to pop up in the algorithm.
Cornette was a dynamite heel and so sharp on the mic.
DUDE THE FOURTH OF JULY IS ON THURSDAY
Jim cornette drive thru 8/10/21
Thank you
Holy... That's heat.
Where’s the blindfold “match”
Is that KC from the Sunshine Band?
Look at that outfit you got on!
[Sunshine is dressed like your grandma]
You know about Richard Simmons personal friend of the Cornette family....😂🤣😂
1:57 lmfao
Oh man now days they hardly use the Tarrant County convention center
Oof…Cornette has always been savage even when he was fresh faced XD
LOL I love Jim and Sunshine here! No offense Jimmy but why do you look like an eight year old trapped in a 21 year olds body? LOL. I'm kidding great promo
