Jim Cornette is a different type of legend in the history of wrestling
In the history of real Wrestling
@@powerviolencestanley7781 facts real wrestling
He is known for 2 things. Falling off scaffolding and getting b slapped by Vince Russo lol.
@@dudebro3250 when was he ever b slapped by russo?
@@ryannelson7407 when Russo got him fired from jobs lol.
Jim Cornette retired from actively working in the industry years ago, but is still one of the most talked about veterans of the industry.
He's awesome. I don't always agree with him, but the man is unquestionably a genius when it comes to wrestling, and he's funny as hell.
Agree, there not one person that you will always agree with
Oh man, this is a treat to listen to. Never thought I'd hear Jim on a Conrad show, and whatever one might think about Flair and his inability to grow old gracefully, he's still one of the greatest ever and listening to Flair and Cornette is just awesome. It's a shame actually that Jim doesn't get around more often on other people's podcasts.
Nah he's smart enough to do it "Legends" style. He's an attraction. He's got draw. He'd cheapen all that, plus detract from his own shows, if he'd just go on the podcast of any Tom's Dick is Hairy.
This show is several years old.
@@gordonbelle1375 yeah but still gold
It’s great to listen to Conrad not able to hold in his groans when Ric starts talking over Cornette or saying stuff that could get them in trouble. 3:44
Also hearing Ric try to talk Conrad out of marrying his daughter is amazing. This guy is the king of saying the wrong thing and he gives no F***’s. 8:52
Jim Cornette is incredible. Not one boring word came out of his mouth and the time just flew by. WOW
Jim has the best pro wrestling podcast on the planet!
Amen to that. Last of his kind. Pro wrestling, not Sports Entertainment. Too much soap opera wrestling out there. Bring back the territories any day.
Jim Cornette is such a Legend. Even during years I go without watching wrestling (like the past 2 years) i still check on whats going on occasionally from Cornette.
Jim is the BEST!
2:39 “He got a sodomy charge against me reduced to tailgating” 😂🤣
that line killed me too
Fuckin A man! 😆
I spat out my coffee on that one haha.
It won't be the first Cornette-ism I try to use regularly. Dount it'll be the last either.
@@patrickwilliams6143 LOL I think my favorite Cornette saying is… “He couldn’t say “suey” if the hogs had him.”
You hear these Dons tell tales and you remind yourself that they are irreplaceable.
Totally irreplaceable
History has shown that is entirely untrue.
And how are they "Dons" now?
@@Rjensen2 youre the only one sober here
The live and tv shows combined with all the wrestling magazines and most importantly Kayfabe , made pro wrestling epic from the late 70s until the late 80s for me. It was the best time ever to be a fan
I can listen to Corney talk for hours. Dude is a legend.
these legends from 40 years ago have more charisma than the current crop of talents world wide
I can listen to Ric Flair all day with his interesting stories…..
Me too 😊
I could listen to these men everyday for 30 years and not get bored.
Yessir
Some people have and continue to do so.
Most perfect introduction for a most perfect manager “a genius “ damn right cornette and nature boy forever Whoo!
Do you know when this was recorded i am guessing that it was around 2014 or so
agreed, but wooo, not whoo. lol
@@nikkiLee-hf6gx my bad wooo lol
"Jimmy you fell so fast" I'm dead. LOL
Both of these guys brought us must see tv back in the day 💪💯😎❣
Most definitely 🎉
Two gods of professional wrestling
The young bucks?
@@MrTeamBringIt123 😂😂😂
The Gage brothers.
When you have Corny away from politics and Brian Last, I could listen to him every day. I love hearing about the "old days", the Crockett stories in particular. Great episode!
I like Cornettte alot,he was one of my favorite managers as a kid..Straight hilarious 💯
Saying, "You're one of the great memories of my life", is one of best compliments I've ever heard. Well said, well put, etc. That's just beautiful and I intend to borrow it lol. This podcast was amazing.
hands down the best dusty rhodes impression on earth today 🤣🤣🤣🤣
And Stevie Wonder still puts his suits together -Arn Anderson
Cornie and the Brain were my two favorite managers. What i think seperates cornie from the rest was his natural ability to generate pure hate .fans wanted to kill him!people have threatened him, attacked him, brought weapons to shows to use on him and he still came out to the ring and antagonized them.hes a legend
Corny is still a machine gun on the mic.
@@ferox965 hasn't lost a step
The 2 greatest personalities ever to grace a wrestling ring
Bobby hennan is one also
I was scrolling thru RUclips when I came across this video, I read Flair and Cornette's name, I was sold, I clicked on it immediately, and I'm glad I did, it was an enjoyable listen
2 of the top 5 “best promo’s in my opinion on the same show.
Good stuff🎉
Flair
Rock
Bobby Henaan
Cornette
Bockwinkle
Pfft. Hogan had half those guys beat. Bockwinkle, really? Lulz. Hogan was better than The Rock too. Macho Man was as well.
@@davidmurray6949huh,

Jake the snake roberts
Arn Anderson
Dusty rhodes
Hulk hogan for wrestlers
I can listen to Jim Cornette all day talk about wrestling.
Unfortunately he also talks politics way too often and makes a fool of himself.
@@VaniFoxOfficial Exactly! When he's away from politics (and Brian Last) there's probably nobody better to hear about wrestling, specifically the "old days"! 👍👍
@@karlepaul6632
I wanna see a Debate between
Jim Cornette ,
Donald Trump,
Young Bucks, &
Vince Russo.
@Karl E Paul
I feel like Last is stirring up the spite in Cornette prior to every recording - especially towards Jericho. I noticed how Cornette called Jericho "Chris" for the first time in years and was generally more favorable towards him when another guy was hosting the show (due to Last taking some time off because his father died or whatever). It was very noticeable.
This was awesome had me laughing straight away. Imagine we actually had an alternative universe where Ric Flair was managed by Jim Cornette on Raw.
I'll do you one better :
Ric flair Managing Jim Cornette in Smokey Mountain Wrestling
Wouldve been awesome but ric flair never needed cornette. Maybe in wwe but he had heenan who was the goat at the time
Jim did a perfect Dusty impersonation.
Jim cornette is a legend 🐐🐐
7 weeks in a row where they're digging into the 2016 archives. And Naitch is no longer doing the "Save With Conrad" intro commercials.
8 weeks in a row old content.
Yeah that AI shit is awful.
Based off how the prior pod ended it seems like this one is done with anything new too. Ric didn’t seem to enjoy doing the thing again when it relaunched to begin with honestly. Seems like he’s either making enough from all his other stuff that he doesn’t need whatever the show makes him to do it anymore or that it hasn’t been earning whatever he thought it would and he’s decided he’s done with it like he did before. With basically two months now of old stuff being uploaded it seems like they may just be throwing a show up for however long they have to fulfill whatever contract Ric probably signed when he relaunched the show. And maybe they haven’t confirmed the thing is done because of that. Obv I’m just guessing but it wouldn’t be surprising considering the past.
Woke big g9verment ric strikes again
Are we ever gonna get a new show or is Ric done woth podcasting again?
Don't get me wrong I like the best of Ric flair and Jim cornette Conrad Thompson thank you when are we going to have new show Ric flair to to be the man show
Seems like it’s ending again. This is kinda what I remember happening when the Ric Flair show ended back in the day. Out of the blue old stuff started getting uploaded and after some weeks of nothing new it eventually was confirmed that Ric got tired of doing the show and it was ending. We’re approaching two months without a new episode so I have a hard time thinking it’s going to continue - seems like they’re just gonna keep throwing up old stuff to fulfil whatever is left of the contract that probably got signed for the show when Ric launched the thing. I don’t think Ric has ever enjoyed doing the podcasts and just got back into it since there’s more money to be made in it now versus what there was back then and now is ready to be done with it because it isn’t earning as much as he wanted it to. I could obv be wrong but it feels that way when you look back on how he dumped Madden like he did and pivoted over to Conrad. That came off to me like he wasn’t making what he wanted with Madden and figured Conrad could help pump up the money for it and maybe now he’s just over it. He’s never really seemed like he was into doing the shows since he returned to podcasting, mostly with Madden and how he would give super short answers or never really dig into anything to make it entertaining. He was a bit better with Conrad but he just never really branched out about stuff to make it entertaining. And it seems he’s making a lot with his other stuff so it kinda seems like he either doesn’t need whatever it makes or it wasn’t making enough for him to want to keep doing the thing. Again maybe that isn’t the case but with two months of nothing new after he’s already dropped the thing suddenly before it’s hard to not think that’s the case again.
Conrad said it’s coming back, Ric was holding out on saying a lot cause he wanted to win an Emmy for his documentary. Wait a week or two and hopefully you’ll see some new stuff!
Where did he say that?
"the cops were getting knocked out by fans swinging chairs" Tulsa Oklahoma. That story of the fairgrounds in the early 80s is nuts
I guess they wanted to record it, but the cameraman was knocked out 😂
Someone once posted audio on YT that started at 48:03 and I thought it was some of the best wrestling-talk of all time. I'm glad I found this and can come back to listen again!
The whole interview was awesome!
I enjoyed this immensely. Was cool to hear these two trading stories.
Wow this has been under wraps for awhile...Harley was still kicking..rip King
i was thinking, what is happening here...harley passed away in 2019.
Jim’s book that he mentioned was published in 2015, so I think this is a very old podcast
Great stuff , does it get any better can’t wait to see Ric on Jim’s podcast
This was Great Really Enjoyed The Interview... Wooooo!!!!
Jims story. On the scaffold match. Is priceless. Lmfaoo👋🤣
Maybe it's just me, but I find it more than a little strange to hear Jim Cornette and Conrad Thompson on the same podcast. I wish Brian Last was there too. That would probably be some interesting interaction. 😅
Harley is still alive and Jim is traveling again this summer. This is great news!!!!!
Greatest episode yet
#1 RULE IN WRESTLING WHICH IS LOST IN TODAYS PRODUCT. MAKE IT BELIEVABLE!!
I REMEBER THESE SHOWS WHEN FANS BELIEVED IT WAS REAL AND TOOK MATTERS IN THEIR OWN HANDS!
As someone who's main time being into wrestling was the 70s and 80s, yeah i can agree with you big time.
Nowadays when you start taking matters into your own hands , you're considered a escaped mental patient.😂
What Happened To Ric Flair Doing New Content For The Podcast With Conrad Thompson ????? Now We Have To Listen To Old Recorded Versions Of The Podcast ?????
Assume he must be tied up with traveling for shows, ect.
He did a call in while on the road during one of the recent WHW shows.
Evidently he must be ok 👍
@@_sabathia_5929 OK enough to be promoting weed 😂 and won't be going without a 🎉 liquid refreshment.
It’s absolutely hilarious to hear back at this time Ric saying he’s convinced Conrad to never get married because a man of means should never risk half his shit only for Conrad to eventually marry Rics daughter 😂
This is pro wrestling gold!
There will never be another Ric Flair. What a legend.
Can listen to Flair and Cornette for hours. Good stuff.
I’ve been waiting on this one!!!
Yeah the wait is over
Not sure what you were waiting on. This episode is from the archives of Rics original podcast from 2015 or so that was called Woo Nation. So it’s a fun reupload to listen to again because Corny is about as entertaining as it gets but this one has been around for 7-8 years now. There hasn’t been a new episode of the podcast since the wrestlemania recap episode they did so it’s been almost two months now since anything new. Based off of history at this point I am guessing that the show is done with new stuff and is just going to keep uploading archive stuff to fulfil whatever contract that got signed for the show when Ric launched it with Madden. Both the previous podcasts Ric did back when ended out of nowhere too. The first one didn’t end per se but went on hiatus out of the blue and when people started asking what was going on we learned they’d terminated their contract with their first network and we’re looking for a new one and the show relaunched a couple months later. But after it relaunched it was only around for maybe six months or so and before it was confirmed to be ending it went through a time of old episodes before Conrad eventually confirmed that Ric just didn’t want to do it anymore. Seems like the same thing is happening now.
Flair and Corny off the leash! This is great!
This is monumental.
Thanks for using Jim's Bar Mitzvah picture!
This hour long video went by in 5 minutes. That’s how good it was.
That was 2 LEGENDS and the GREAT Conrad! What a treat to get to be alive and here this!!
It is indeed a privilege to be listening to these great legends
WE NEED MORE CORNETTE!!!
I love to listen to Nate when he’s sober ❤ Corny is the greatest ever 🎉
Cornette is a legend in wrestling. Great manager, Great ideas for storylines , tells it like is and doesn’t care who likes it or not. Cornette and that tennis racket was great on the mic
His knowledge is unmatched
Im 48 yrs Black guy Oakland, Ca Rick Flair is my favorite going back to Starcade 88 Me and my boyz started our own wrestling league Becuase of this man
Bet my ass you've called it THE NATION OF DOMINATION
The thumbnail looks like an early 90s comedy movie cover.
You and Jim are truly 2 of the most enjoyable and entertaining people in the world. I think a lot of both of ya. But Flair you're the best of all time my step dad knows you and said you're a great guy
Horse collared…….😂😂😂😂
15:58
3:45 when Flair for some reason insists on continuing to talk over Corny, and Conrad in the background groaning...hahahaaa
This is gonna be a good one.
@13:07 PURE FIRE
Thank you for still being alive. Aside from his backwards (I hope just a working Heel gimmick) Political opinions, James E. is one of the most enjoyable personalities to have shared time on this Earth with. Keep at it. Outlive that nasty Vince Russo.
Why bring that up?
Are you that insecure about your beliefs? 😂
@@Rjensen2 are u
@@gtf2584 I was thinking the same thing 😆
Spot on 😂 Slippin Jimmy is one of THE guys out there
CANT WAIT TO LISTEN
I love being able to rewatch these promos are on wrestling bios- reliving the Monday night wars . I'll leave her so good evening now just re hearing them 25 years later. Still amazing
Hey Ric, Can you do a podcast on The Mulkeys 😅
James E Cornette is the all time Greatest Manager ever
No
Bobby heenan
This was made many years ago this interview. Now Conrad and Corny are rival podcasts.
Yep, Jim Cornette is just like Bill O'Reilly.
Jimmy should be running the WWE
Love listening to Corny… takes me back
Holy !!!!, Jim is on!
Damn I didn’t even know flair had a channel/podcast. I’m here because RUclips recommend it bc I listen to Cornette I’m guessing lol.
Same brother , 😮
Houma Lousianna & Tulsa Oklahoma had to be the 2 worse places to wrestle. Flair & Corny are 2 of the greatest. I would have enjoyed to seen how a Ric Flair managed by Corny would work out.
Two legends.
I wish Jim would do video podcasts. would get way more views
I don't think he knows how to use a webcam to be honest lol
More interesting than anything on WWE or AEW today.
Flair telling Conrad not to get married and Conrad is married to Flairs daughter Megan.
Hey Champ, who are your top 5 you worked with throughout your career? Also, my friend, if you was rebuilding the Four Horsemen in WWE, who will your team be? You are the best and also Queen Charlotte..I love you Ric.. Love Toddinva
He's answered both things
Steamboat sting are always 2 of them
Dusty rhodes is another
Conrad mentioned Cornette on MLW Radio as a plug... when was this episode recorded?
2016
This is 8 years old
yeah race died long ago
I wonder what Brian Last thought about this lol
right away, this is good
Was surprised to hear Jim on one of Conmans shows doesn't his boy Brian have heat with him
This is fucking fantastic
King of the one liners!
Wow! Thought Corny and Conrad had heat.
When i heard running around with the wrong element, i thought he said wrong elephant (bolin)
25:21 Jim Cornette explains Dennis Condrey leaving JCP & The Midnight Express after 3/24/1987( JCP) Lincolnton, NC ( Tv Taping) show. Never return 3/25,1987, Quit.
You can hear Conrad's frustrated sighs when Ric keeps interrupting and dragging on the close of the show.
Flair is obviously from Wisconsin
These damn Conrad commercials
when was the interview conducted
I have an awesome WWF collection. I have tons and tons of figures and autographs. Where can I find a Jim Cornette autograph.
Curious how old is this? enjoyed hopefully yall will have more guests. Ric let your guest talk honey pls otherwise great lol
Cornette will be 62 in september, Ric is 74
This was around 2015. It was just a couple years after WWE fired Jim Ross.
