Jim has thrown a lot of negative comments about a lot of people he's been associated with but he's never thrown anything personal at JR. He's always talked about even their disagreements with an appreciation and respect and he champions JR in any circle where JR is being disrespected.
And still calls him the greatest announcer in the history of pro wrestling.
Cuz Jim always loved JR
Yep, not a chance Cornette would ever be sideways with good ol' JR!
He has said he is disappointed in JR when he announces AEW as they ass off though.
I listen to both podcasts. Cornette has never said anything bad about JR in any of his shows. The only closest thing that might be disparaging is that Cornette said JR is doing AEW for a nice paycheque before he formally retires. Otherwise Cornette has always been positive about JR.
Jim had a stand up fight with Ed Ferarra for mocking JR’s Bells Palsy. That is friendship!
I'm still pissed to this day for Ed doing that
Facts...
That suplex Dr Death gave him is so satisfying in hindsight
To be fair, he wanted to fight him anyway...
@@lunakitty1990 why? He didn’t do it to you
I don't agree with everything Cornette says but I think he is the absolute best at explaining why angles and matches were brilliant or sucked. His understanding and knowledge of wrestling and its history shouldn't be ignored.
agreed... he's still a leftist turd..
@@billybadass3056 hes not a safe space type. hes more a realist and not religious which is the basis of most all the dumb shit the right is doing. that or smoke screens to get idiots to vote against their own well being
@@MrSanchez159 Well said, sad but true.
I always tell myself he is a very particular and attention to detail type. His critiques need to be taken with a pinch of salt cause he was a ball breaker. Man kept a diary of his life for a start. He's got a lot of recorded beefs and decisions that niggle him it seems.
Him as a person should be ignored.
Jim definitely talks positively about Jim. He actually hates when people tries to bury Ross.
Jim approves
Seriously, he destroyed the Young Cunts and Brandon Cuntler for ignoring Jim Ross's real ass advice.
Hold up
Jim likes Jim and Jim likes Jim. It’s simple Jim and Jim are cool
Too many pronouns pal
The Jims are two of the greatest minds in wrestling history.
All hail the Jims
That is the truth and hopefully people listen to em just for the jewels of experience and wisdom they can share.
@Jacob Bradford it would be stupid not recognize the brilliant mind Corny has for wrestling. He’s right most of the time, but the way he says things shouldn’t be a reason to deny his knowledge
@Jacob Bradford you do realize that it is possible to dislike someone and still acknowledge their contribution to wrestling, right?
@Old Man obviously Jim Crockett and Jim Herd
Cornette is a genius both in wrestling and in the podcasting. I don’t always agree with him on everything but god damn does he know the business and is damn entertaining.
I love corny. Disagree with him so much but man is it charismatic
@@nickw7235 JR should've just be in the podcasting business than still calling matches, he's just as talented as Corny tbh
@@jamirimaj6880 well theyve been in the business for 40 plus years, JR more obviously by age.
@189KansasCity and thats why you skip a head some. Us cult members do it alot lol
Correction, he knew the buisness as did alot of people. Now he doesn't. It happens. I love his historical memory and could listen to him talk about the history of the buisness for hours. But when it comes to what works in modern wrestling, he's a clueless as Bill Watts in 90's WCW.
The Cult is always watching
I listen to both podcasts regularly so despite not agreeing philosophically the fact you share a large portion of each others fanbase shows there's a middle ground you guys could collaborate on.
Jim is a man child idiot.
Jim Cornette has a genuine love for the wrestling business that most don't. JR & Cornette are the cornerstones of the wrestling business.
You’re dead right, and I know you mean it as a compliment, but it probably breaks their heart.
Drinking game: Read the comments and everytime someone says "I don't agree with everything Cornette says but...", Take a shot
I don’t need alcohol poisoning thank you very much lol
You'd die 5 min in.
It'd be like taking shot every time 'Taker says "y'know" in an interview.
Bruh I'll be dead if I did that im good lol
No, Leary, mister ossifer! I only had one or tea martoonis!
I'm drunk now, thanks
I listen to Corny daily. JR has been part of my entire life. Two of my favorite people in the world. I would love if you two had a sit down, a good 2-3 hour podcast together, just telling stories, discussing opinions. I believe the Smithsonian would preserve that conversation in the archives.
JC AND JIM ROSS DOING SOMETHING TOGETHER ON MONTHLY BASIS FOR AN HOUR OR TWO ON A TOPIC THEY BOTH WERE AROUND TO WITNESS. THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!
I CONCUR WITH THESE SENTINEBTS OP WILL SHURILY DELVR
Corny respects JR an JR respects Corny! And that is all they need.
ive meant jim cornette a few times and if you can get him off his soap box his actually a nice guy will talk wrestling with you all day do i agree with everything he says no but thats what makes wrestling fun
I've never really seen him be on a soap box before. You're right, he will talk wrestling all day long. He's really knowledgeable on the subject. He knows more than most. I don't think that puts him on a soap box though. He just knows his shit
He's made it clear he doesn't like being on a soap box, people just give him too many reasons to rip something apart.
Whenever he talks politics its soap box nonsense
@@kennedywilliams2280 He often brings up politics out of nowhere, too. I really don't get it. I mean sure, bring up wrestling politics, but I can guarantee no one is listening to him for his political opinions. Guess he just can't help himself.
The other thing with him too is that while yes, he has very legitimate criticisms of modern wrestling, he has little to no solution to these problems. All of his best ideas require it to be before 'the business was exposed' as he likes to put it. It's like Kevin Owens said. A lot of his ideas just come off as hokey in today's world.
@@Cableguy15 man, it's pretty sad that trying to present a believable product that makes sense is now considered hokey in today's world.
I listen to both on their podcast. Cornette hasn’t said anything negative about JR. In fact he has deep respect for JR. The closest thing to disparaging would be that JR is in AEW to get one final paycheque. Otherwise he has been very complimentary about JR overall over all his shows whenever JR is brought up.
Yeah I don’t think he’s all the way wrong with saying that either.
JR knows aew and wrestling as a while is generally a shit show now. JR has been in the business since the late 70’s I think, he knows how poor the product has become since the glory days. Jim is just one of those guys that consistently points it out and the truth hurts a lot of people. Either that or they just don’t like his politics so base their decisions on that which is narrow minded as hell.
I love Cornette, I agree with a lot of what he says and a lot of the time he's misunderstood because people have an agenda. Nice to Jim and Jim not bash each other purely because they don't agree with each other
If you had a wrestling federation controlled exclusively by Corny and JR you would have absolute gold. They are perfect contrasts of personality yet still connect so well and the spectrum of emotional investment they could cover with the right talent would be the goose that repeatedly laid the golden egg.
It almost happened Tony Khan got Jim Cornette to come in for a meeting but he was such a Money Mark and listened too much to The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega that Jim Cornette was horrified... but if Tony Khan got rid of those Executive Vice Presidents and actually ran his own AEW company without it being a SPOT-FEST where sloppy luchadores botch moves left and right J.R. and Jim Cornette could've worked together back when All-In first happened.
Facts
So a guy who was fired everywhere and had a 4 year failed promotion would be one half of an absolute gold promotion?
He also doesn’t have to tiptoe around upsetting an employer or “platform” if not blowing sunshine up their asses. So it goes in the working world, though. He is at least able to speak his mind unfiltered. Doesn’t necessarily mean he’s trying to be controversial in a contrived way. Pretty sure he believes what he’s saying not trying to be like Stern to generate attention.
Precisely. He calls it like he sees it.
I partly agree w you. But I DO think Cornette still plays the heel for views....
I'm a conservative Christain and there's Corney, a liberal atheist. Who cares, I respect his opinion, expertise, and knowledge of the business. Yes, he's the second best manager, right behind Bobby!
That is 100% me. I always say that I agree with 99.9% of Cornette's opinions on wrestling and disagree with 99.9% of his opinions on everything else. Glad to see another fan like me! :D
Oh, and imo the best manager ever was Gary Hart. Both Cornette and Heenan are top 5 for sure though!
Right there with ya. Corny has convictions and he's very vocal about how he feels, nothing wrong with that. He's 💯 honest and that I can agree with, he doesn't sugar coat anything and I totally respect that.
Haworth Lowell the thing is once cornette finds out you're a republican or conservative, he automatically dismisses you as a bad and evil person. He only lets that pass if youre someone whose helped him out in his career. I don't care if he's a liberal and a hardcore democrat but his views are very hypocritical.
He don't respect yours.. He's said in interviews he will hate someone just because of political and religious preference.
That's funny considering he is from the bible belt. Probably go tried of hearing all the I presume.
I wish more people with adapt the mentality that JR has about having a difference in opinion. I can disagree with you without bashing you or hating you.
Unfortunately that is so rare these days. And I agree with you 100% the culture of the current generation is "agree with me or get cancelled" it's hypersensitivity of the softest era in human history
Problem is Cornette can't get past that. He doesn't like AEW so he makes it personal and accuses Kenny Omega of all kinds of vile shit for no reason other then he doesn't like comedy wrestling
@@sammysam2615 Especially JC's political party.
@@sammysam2615 good lord people have disagreed for years. you only think this is the softest era in history because you haven't lived in many other eras
@@skippythealien9627 I would say every generation is softer than the previous one. The 2000's was softer than the 90's. The 90's was softer than the 80's. 80's softer than the 70's and so on its a cycle that every new generation becomes.
Yet every time cornette says how he would do an angle that he's seen, his version is almost always better.
True
Not sure who is shit worse. Cornette or Skip Bayless. They both are out dated as Fuck! It's almost 2022. Good Grief
@@jaybatt4507 is watching and simping AEW makes you this unintelligible?
@@jaybatt4507 And yet oddly enough, there is a reason that when ever wrestling stick to its tried and true techniques, it gets over with the public and booms, and when it veers from them, people stop watching and longing for the "good ole days".
@JayJoeJameson yeah cause even with the cheesy shit they did they still for the majority did the old tried and true methods
Gotta love J R his voice is absolutely iconic love his his wrestling commentary simply one of the best - and another great yarn Conrad
And I know for a fact that Corny still has major respect for you and definitely sees you as a friend, he speaks very highly of you on his podcast and even talks positively about some of the disagreements you have had with one another
Loved when JR and Jim did commentary in NWA WCW together
The most surprising thing about this clip is finding out JR is a smoker.
I think he's quit & started up again dozens of times. I remember on his old podcast discussing it. Hell, he's a widow, WWE fucked him and as much as he tries it's obvious AEW ain't listening to his or anyone else's opinions. If it makes him happy at this point in his life to have a butt every now and again...fuck it. And I hate smoking. JR though has paid all the dues twice over. You do you Jim.
The older I get, the more I realize how much I relate and love JR's outlook on life. His old podcasts had the whole "Our tomorrow's are not guaranteed." And I'm in a weird space in my life right now that best friends I've had for decades are falling out of contacts and the friends I didn't put nearly enough energy are sticking around and picking up momentum.
I came here for Corny impressions but got something more valuable instead.
Preach
Mr. Ross hits it dead on right here. You don't have to agree with someone philosophically to find them entertaining!
I couldn't wait for the road warriors to throw Cornette off the scaffolding but only because he knew what he was doing at drawing heat as they say. Later I can see he was a genius who knew how to mess with people.
As a Kentuckian, I wholeheartedly approve that “Kentucky fried Howard Stern” comment
@Old Man How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, Old Man?
That was brilliant!!
@Old Man What made Stern stand out is the way he used to treat big time celebrities..he would flat out ask them "So when you're on the set, do you meet a lot of hot Interns and get to bang em now that you're the star?"..the Michael Richards (Kramer from Seinfeld) interview is the epitome of it. He cuts into the typical scripted media-trained answers with questions that deep down we all want to know! "Now that you got the Kramer gig, you're getting a lot of p*ssy?"..Lol..Cornette would cringe at that and consider it low-brow and disrespectful. Cornie isn't offensive for the sake of being offensive or even random..there's a reason for his attitude. He isn't a shock jock, because there's always a legitimate reason why he's upset.
I’m a fellow Kentuckian... Lincoln county... 20 miles above somerset
@@baloothepibble8421 Boyd here!
Cornette is politically incorrect while also being an extreme democrat which is controversial in itself
an odd combination
He would be kicked out of the party if he ever became mainstream. Then he'd suddenly be hit with the realization that the political climate has drastically changed over the last decade or two. It's not 2008 anymore.
You say that like 2008 was several decades ago or something.
There are no extreme democrats when you figure it out you vote 3rd party.
He's not an extreme democrat at all. He's a staunch anti-republican, but not on the left. He just recognizes bullshit people and says so.
Jim Cornette still being mentioned to this day. Momma Cornette would be proud
Jim loves Jim, and Jim will always love Jim, bottom line.
JR is one element of AEW that Corny will regularly stand up for, end of the day they haven't worked in the same place for a while.
Exactly. Cornette may not be the biggest AEW supporter but he doesn't knock Ross.
I love Corny on wrestling, but his takes on politics is horrible.
Because he doesn't agree with you.
What’s his takes on politics?
@@canucksfan7332 He a far left democrat. He cant see that both sides have some good ideas. Im an independent and cant stand people that only see left or right.
@@mitchellbaker9434no he literally doesn't know anything about politics and crys like a bitch and I'm a fan of his. And not even American and I can tell he has absolutely no clue
@@Game-ib3ql His position is absolutely not far left. It's centre left and when I've heard him talk politics, nothing I've heard him say was wrong
Jim Cornette makes valid points about AEW and modern wrestling in general they are valid less and less people are watching it as proof
Obviously more ppl don't watch modern day wrestling because they're on the phones watching tik toks and on RUclips etc. That takes away from live viewership...you can also watch it commercial free on a streaming site for free...any wrestling fan can see that i don't need cornette to tell me anything about modern day wrestling...those same valid points that he makes you can also make the same points towards cornette his self....its hella shit he did in smokey mountain wrestling that was stupid as shit...only difference is nobody had internet back then to talk about it and its soo irrelevant in today's society that nobody even brings it up
@ShadowAngel lol. Their first show got about 1.2 million viewers. They now sit around 950,000-1.1 million depending on how the last show was. They lost half their viewership when they moved to Friday nights for a month or so during the NBA playoff, but almost immediately gained that back when they went back to Wednesday. They are also consistently in the top 5 cable shows for the week and have been the highest rated cable show of the week a couple times.
If you don't like AEW fine, but there's no reason to misrepresent facts. Just say you don't like it.
Cornette is doing what he has always done. He's working the marks and making money. This time he's figured out how to do it from the comfort of his own home. And I listen to him all the time, but you can tell at times he's just burying spots cause that's what the WWE fanboys wanna hear. Cornette acts like he didn't paint Bautista blue have him come out of a river and call him Leviathan.
What's funny is he also buries the WWE which they're ok with. They know it sucks, they just wanna make sure AEW sucks too.
In reality it's not working. AEW is slowly bringing back a generation of fans.
@ShadowAngel they've been above 1.1 million 3 out of the last 5 weeks. Over a million 4 out of the last 5 weeks. Their 10 week average at the moment is 987,000 that outdraws it's closest competition by 300,000 viewers on Wednesdays. The average viewership year over year is up around 18% and hasn't been below twenty in 6 weeks. 18-49 viewership is up 9.7% year over year.
If you wanna compare a show to it's highly anticipated premier, fine. But you do know what you're doing and you are misrepresenting facts.
@ShadowAngel 1st of all i was born in 92...I've been watching wrestling since i was born and i grew up with this best era of wrestling....the attitude era which had the best storylines and the most stars...even a low mid carder the Godfather was over because of the hoe train....there will never be another era as popular as the attitude era...yes the modern day wrestling is filled with too many thigh slap superkicks, dives and no kayfabe...but the 70s and the 80s wrestling in jim cornettes era is boring af ive seen plenty of the von erichs matches...wasn't impressed...hogan just got the shit beat out of him then automatically wins the match with 5 moves a couple punches,irish whip,big boot, leg drop...the only good actual in ring technicians was flair macho man and steamboat...everybody else was slow with stupid ass moves...regular suplexes and finishers like the klaw 😂😂😂😂...they had dumb ass spots...let me stick this guys head between my legs and jump lmao...and yall was watching like it was amazing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Im glad the attitude era has hbk, brett, hart, taker, kane, stone cold, the rock, vince McMahon as 1 of the greatest heels ever, mankind, hhh,the hardys, the Dudley's, edge and Christian, the new age outlaws, a.p.a,d generation x,y2j,and kurt angle...the Montreal screwjob...the best introduction to a wrestler of all time at bad blood 97 with the 1st hell in a cell against hbk and taker where kane comes out...the double turn at wm13...the best wrestlmania wm 17 the tlc match...austin vs rock...and many mor iconic matches...jim cornette wasn't even a good manager he was just a loud ass annoying dude with a tennis racket
I agree with how JR says it. I don't always agree with what he says and sometimes he goes a little too far with things but he's a legend that has great knowledge about the business and some of his takes are entertaining and thought-provoking. Not all of them, but a lot of them are.
As respectful as I can be it is like a younger clone of J.R. is interviewing J.R.
Corny is passionate about his chosen profession
imagine a star wars nerd that can tell you every excruciating detail about some minor ship
thats Corny, but for wrestling ;)
Well, you see, Princess Leia Organa's Blockade Runner in the opening scene of A NEW Hope....
@@bradpaton3927 LOL
JR knows AEW is the drizzling shits. It slips out every now and then.
😂😂😂😂😂
So True. He kind of shifted on JC. But JC is on point about AEW. He doesn't hate everyone on AEW . JC is mostly right about all modern wrestling. Aew fans know it's shit that's why they keep getting old guys that were popular 20 years ago in WWE. If their new stars were so over you wouldn't bring in old guys.
@@eblount55 wwe has dropped a ton of their talent in the passed few days and simultaneously brought back goldberg. You're sure you're not getting things mixed up. JC will always be a wwe shill and thats why he dislikes aew, plain and simple.
@@PKFireFawx LOL you've obviously never heard even ONE of JC's podcast, nimrod. Corny doesn't even watch WWE he calls it 'boring' and sterile, it's a 'safe' and fake way of doing wrestling. He almost exclusively only watched AEW because both he and his co-host Brian Last BOTH THINK IT'S MORE ENTERTAINING THAN WWE. He's said this multiple times, he gets so hot about the stupid angles because AEW could have been a real contender against WWE instead of just doing 1M views a show (WWE gets 2M views at least for Smackdown and sometimes 3M on RAW per week)
If you had bothered to listen to his podcast instead of talking out of your ass about things you CLEARLY don't know thing 1 about, you would know that Corny painstakingly goes out of his way to TEACH AEW how to improve their show, segment to segment. He breaks down silly angles. He exposes rotten talent. He gives advice on how to use Legends instead of having them stand on the apron and yawn out of boredom like Mike-fricking-Tyson did cause NOBODY TOLD HIM WHAT TO DO.
Do some research and think for yourself before you show how stupid you are talking shit about Corny when not even Jim Ross would, AEW fanboi.
@@PKFireFawx He hates every promotion that isn't WWE. He desperately wants one more job.
Corney and J Ross will always be friends forever. You two are of among the greatest in the industry and more.
Cornette has made many wrestlers better than they could have been, without his help. One of the greatest minds in the business
Jim Cornette's love for the business is truly genuine.
4:36 True Jim. 🙏 Life is too short.
“Kentucky Fried Howard Stern” 🤣
I’d say that’s a hell of a compliment actually..
"Kentucky-fried Howard Stern." XD
I would love to hear someone recording JR and JC discussing wrestling.
I respect Cornette and his work is amazing but in fairness he doesnt make it easy , he certainly doesnt stick to the idea of respecting people of differing opinions etc
Has he ever? Thats what makes Jim Cornette,Jim Cornette.
He doesn’t have to and is that not his own opinion?? Everyone hates his but preaches to the choir that everyone can have their own.
@@murrlandmac6340 my point was more about his opinions on wrestling today, specifically AEW. In my opinion he has let his views on AEW get awfully personal and he has lost all perspective. I've actually stopped listening to his podcast as, much as I love his stories from his past his endless rants about Omega and AEW have got really tiresome
Yeah, that's the benefit of being right. 😆
@@swfcocs1 he actually criticizes the show pretty fairly. He gives praise to several of their roster.
The intro is so badass 🤘😎🥁
I followed both Jim Ross and Jim Cornette careers for about 30 years now I've👌 learned so much from BOTH of them but they do have a difference of opinion on 😡😲 some things neither one will give an inch I respect that.👍
JR and Cornette are two of the smartest guys in pro wrestling. I wish we could get a 3 hour interview of the two of them because I love their mindsets even though Corny isn't my cup of tea when it comes to outside of wrestling. I think Corny is so innovative and has the ideas of how to figure out wrestling, his track record proves how good he is. JR is so cool and a legend to me. Both men when it comes to wrestling deserves so much respect.
Would love to hear a podcast hearing JR and Jim sharing stories and talking modern wrestling. Two of the greatest ever
I seem to remember one interviewing the other on one of their podcasts, more than 3 years ago.
If Conrad could do a podcast with Cornette...it would be majestic. Not sure why this hasn't happened yet.
Chat me up?
I'm a f/ckin heel!
I have always been a huge jim ross fan. Thanks for what you have done for my childhood. One of the most iconic voices of all time.
Cornette and Ross have always been respectful of each other that comes through in their podcasts I agree Cornette is like Ross one of the most knowledgeable people on all aspects of wrestling yes Cornette is divisive yes he is opinionated but he is also an excellent raconteur who always leaves me chuckling.
The problem I have is not because of a difference of opinion. Corny is just constantly insulting people and not showing any respect himself. And in turn he's motivating his fans to behave the same way towards stuff they don't like.
Dude literally said he hoped Kenny Omega would get crippled because Omega had the audacity to say ‘hey could you stop tagging me in posts about me’
I bounce between J.R. & Cornette show & they are great only downside I find is a low amount of toxicity in Cornette comments either from blind followers or proudful ignorant mofos but doesn't stop me from seeing/commenting his content.
Loved when JR was interviewed on The Dan LeBatard with Stugotz👍
HE SAID KENTUCKY FRIED HOWARD STERN!! LMAOOOOO!!!
Nobody expects people to agree on everything, I certainly don't base my friendships on if they agree with everything I say, sometimes we disagree on certain subjects quite loudly, but in the end we're still friends.
Kentucky Fried Howard Stern 😂
This is my first time seeing Conrad … did expect him to look like that
I always wanted to meet Jim Ross when I was a kid 😂😎 he was awesome. I'll never forget hearing him call Undertaker vs Mankind hell in a cell.
2 old southern boys who worked territories and have that old fashion wrestling business style to them, no surprise that they can disagree on 99 things out of 100 and/or not talk to much for a while and still remain on the better side of things. sad they dont talk as often but im sure JC is gonna see this or get asked about it and see it then it'll prolly lead to a catch up of some sort down the road.
Jim cornette jumped in defence of JR when the AEW lockeroom started talking negatively about him when JR said they dive too often.
Great thumbnail choice lol
I want a friendship as strong as Ross and Cornette, that's true friendship
He tells the truth, and that’s it. I love people saying he is doing it for publicity. I guarantee he doesn’t care about pop.
He talks about how good the shows he produced did in the ratings and how many subscribers he has on here and for his podcast quite often
@Youtosux I have listened regularly and still do listen on occasion. And there’s lots of videos that he’s put out there that will demonstrate that I’m not lying
Jim Cornette is now forever known as the Kentucky Fried Howard Stern.
Hoo Hoo Robin, where's my Sprite?
Them ALWAYS saying that he just "says" the stuff as a "shock jock" is hilarious. THEY stick to their scripts to deflect any form of criticism. 🤷
But jim cornette really is nothing but a shock jock.
@@pierrelemagnifique205 u don’t know what that word means bro
@@pierrelemagnifique205 No you’re just “Shocked” by the things he says because you’re so used to being bullshitted. What does Cornette say thats so bombastic abd outlandish pertaining to Wrestling other than critiquing what doesnt make sense or have logic in it. A “Shock Jock” says ppl are dead when they arent. A shock jock ridicules and wishes death on babies. Saying that WWE IS 2hrs of bullshit all to get to one match that means something isnt SHOCKING. Saying that AEW booking is rotten and makes absolutely no sense from week to week isnt SHOCKING! He gives an opinion…an honest one but because yall are so used to having your feelings coddled and talking in the twitter echo chamber,its “Shock Jocking” …no its reality.
Coming from a guy with SKULLS in his photo, damn you must be very dark and brooding! EDGY
@@TheeCoachg doesnt cornette wish death on the small children of the AEW roster?
There ain't no point asking Jr about cornette until aew stops paying him...he won't give any honesty about how right jc is...
Some sage life advice in this video. Life goes by fast and we get busy. Manage the friendships that mean something to you. We wont always be here. Conversely, it's normal to drift apart from people. We all change. Doesn't mean things ended badly. Lastly, the internet is not real life: You don't have to agree about everything. The reason you are friends is because you have something in common. A shared past has a whole lot of currency when you get older.
I feel like this question gets brought up every 14 months.
Tbh, Corny's not even hating the WHOLE AEW company, just some parts of it. Trust me, people were pissed off at the Elite especially the Young Fucks WAYYYYYYY before Cornette started talking about them
But he doesn't need to get personal. If he said "I don't particularly like that kind of wrestling" no one would have a problem.
Instead he degrades the women on the show by saying they can only be champion if Omega is fucking them, comparing Omega to Hitler, and all around making shit personal
I think Cornett is great at explaining things. He’s great at creative. His memory is phenomenal. He knows what sells and what doesn’t. Play caller is his perfect job. He should have HHH’s job.
Cornette is a wrestling genius and should be treated as such. His political views are goofy but he's a great wrestling mind.
Goofy? He's a marxist socialist, if he had hia way he'd have gulag death camps around the country
All that I wanted to hear was J.R. do his "tale of the tape" on Jim Cornette; 6 foot, 235, 3-Time PWI Manager of the Year, 2-Time Slammy Award Winner, Louisville Kentucky.
People love The Attitude Era, Love Jim Cornette but hate Vince Russo. The irony 😂
Ive had a lot of friendships like that too. We just kinda drifted apart over the years. Kind of sad, but thats life.
2:12 Conrad must have little to no time to himself with all the podcasts. Some work ethic. Props man 👍
With all of that eating, no kidding.
@@michaellandon1960 🤣🤣🤣🤣
work lol sure
How does Conrad find the time to do all these podcasts, spend time with his family and help Americans save money on their mortgage? The guy is superhuman.
I’d have to assume Conrad’s at a level, business-wise, where he’s probably managing a lot of his obligations from his phone.
He listens to the band L.A. Guns which gives you lots of headbanging energy
Sacrifices are made for the greater good.
Conrad kept it clean but one or two of J.R remarks here are not gonna go down well with Cornette wait and see. He'll either say absolutely nothing or he'll say it all.
I love listening to most of the major wrestling podcasts that are on today, actually much more than watching the current wrestling shows that are on the air. I really enjoy all of Conrad's podcasts (Arn's is my favorite of them), but Cornette's is my favorite of all. Since Cornette isn't currently working for WWE or AEW, i think you get his true opinions unfiltered. Most of the others are either directly working for one or the other, or at least still involved or possibly be hired by one of the big two orgs, so they lean one way.
Do it Jim, reach out when you can, I'm not gonna go to far into the weeds on this, but I had a falling out with a family friend almost 10 years ago and he recently passed. Been regretting not reaching out. There's a finality to death that just doesn't care about regret.
I'm sorry about the passing of your friend. Just reach out. You'll never regret it even if you are rebuffed.
I remember Jr from the UWF days with Cowboy Bill watts when they used to do shows with WCW. Great time in wrestling.
I don't agree with everything Corny says, but I agree with the vast majority of it. Though I am not fans of them myself, I think some of his vitriol towards Twinkletoes and the Bucks are due more to his personal feeling about them as people, rather than their performance in the ring. I would love to see someone start a serious professional wrestling company, and make Corny a part of it. He has so much to offer, but simply no one to offer it to that will listen to what he has to say.
Wow how has this video got do many more views than anything recent
I listen to both JR & Jim Cornette regularly and they're both very entertaining.
Cornette definitely knows wrestling, but I can’t blame people who don’t like him
And I don't blame people for hating the people who hate him.
Because he calls it as it is without worrying about snowflakes that get offended when he shits on their favorite wrestlers? K
"I don't have to agree with someone to find them entertaining".
My thoughts exactly. I don't agree with somethings Corney says, but he ALWAYS explains his position and puts it in terms where you can understand why he has the beliefs that he does.
I don't have the disdain for Omega and the Bucks that Cornette does, but I also didn't work in the business and fight to keep it "protected" for a guy to come in and wrestle at little girl and a blowup doll. I'm also more forgiving and don't hold that against Omega or Takeshita (both were in their mid 20s when doing that), but Cornette comes from it at a different angle, even different than JR as Corenette is coming from the perspective of a manger who used to have people try to attack him for promos that he cut. JR may have been from that same era, but he didn't have that same experience.
I'm not against women using weapons in matches, but Cornette explains that if a woman kicks out of a chairshot, what does a man have to be hit with to keep him down" So, again, it's about protecting the business and not making the job harder (physically) than it already is.
I do enjoy when a wrestle attempts to discredit JC and he takes them to task over it.
I like Cornette's podcast. I'm sure that he and I could find things to argue about, but that's cool. I put Cornette neck-and-neck with Bobby Heenan as the GOAT managers.
Conrad is right the younger fans need to agree with everything someone says to like them.
JR thinks so highly of Cornette that even thinking about his relationship with him gives him an existential crisis.
Jim cornett should start his own wrestling company and hire me
Love JR and Corny. Both amazing people in wrestling.
3:03 i dont know if you said it before Jim but I do remember a commentator saying "Controversy is cash" I think before. in wrestling thats pretty true once its within the laws of kayfabe and executed well.
Eric Bischoff said that.
@@josephrother7950 thanks Joseph 👍
I think that's a title to one of his books too lol.
@@toxsun Correct.
Both Jims lighting it up on Utube.
JR just describe Cornett to a damn "T"... Damnit that was creative. Good job JR.
Is JR smoking a friggin cigarette!? 😂😂😱 I didn’t know he smoked
I think it’s a joint lol
I know that's very surprising.
It's why his voice has gradually gone to hell over the last 30 years, hell you can tell he was a heavy smoker back in the late 90s
It's a J.
with all the nonsense they do on AEW id want a joint every now and then to.
Like the ECW billboard in Conrad's room
I’m a Kentuckian and I can’t stand a lot of things about Jim- I.e politics but he’s damn entertaining and I listen every week because I can fast forward through his crap to get to the good stuff. One thing I appreciate is that he’s a proud Kentuckian (even if he’s a democrat lol)
Yeah, you should be real proud of Turtle-Face Moscow Mitch and the ignorant pinheads like him.
@@locustjohn3865 when did I say I like Mitch McConnell?? I can’t stand him. Apparently they just can’t find anybody to run against him that can beat him. Don’t assume anything or put words in my mouth ever. You don’t know me.
@@christy4421 I know enough about people (and I use that term loosely) like you and your ilk to not have to assume anything.
