@@jaydav6521 Absolutely, and I think he meant it too, but to the FANS the message was "hey guys, this dude is just as dirty as me!". Bobby Heenan was awesome. Always hated seeing him in WCW though since he just obviously didn't give a shit anymore.
@@jaydav6521 They booed because it was Bobby Heenan! He's a heel. We love him, but you're supposed to hate him. He's a sneaky little cheating asshole, in character.

I had no idea who Jim Cornette was being from the north east and a WWF kid. So that was my introduction to him but I loved Bobby Heenan so much that anyone who was cool with him got my attention. In retrospect it's a pretty classic segment.
Heenan’s reaction to that was priceless. I’m glad you noticed that too, that was my favorite line of that segment. It was delivered so quick that you can easily miss it the first time around
@@jshudo44 haha yah!!! I probably spend way to much time analyzing or obsessing over jim Cornette and bobby Hennans promos or Any time they've been on tv. But yeah he says it so fast you almost miss it and me being an artist Im so ocd about details and it's the little things count in life they say. It's such a greAt line and Jim says it so seriously and quickly that you almost miss it but it's an absolute gem of a line if you truly think about it and another time Jim mentions his mother's butler and that's another super quick priceless gem you almost miss. Thanks for recognizing that as well. So hilarious one little line can make all the difference in the world. Hysterical 😂👌
One of the all time greatest moments in RAW history. Absolutely historic moment because it was the passing of the torch from Heenan to Cornette as the top manager of the WWF. 1993 honestly is one of my favorite years for the company. The Smoky Mountain invasion, Bret vs Lawler, Steiners/Quebecers, Crush heel turn, start of Owen’s heel run, Yokozuna as a monster heel champ, Corny as the American Spokesman and the crossover with the USWA. It was a overall fun year.
RUclips just started randomly recommending the clip to people with wrestling videos in their watch history The more people that click it the more it gets recommend, its a snowball.
First of all, this is Anfield Annex. Secondly, this brings back very fond memories of old school, pure wrestling with talented wrestlers (not character actors) wrestling. Lastly, you'll never walk alone.
For me its such a moment because the torch is LITERALLY being passed. Bobby knew he was on his way out and Cornette was just absolutely perfect to take over for him. Bobby’s real laugh is almost a cackle from the gut,which Jim does also when something is rottenly funny to him lol and everytime Jim got on the mic,Bobby would just hoot in laughter. He loved Corny as a professional and for your idol to give you ultimate rub,it has to make Jim just feel so joy inside.
How were Jim and Bobby able to speak to each other for several minutes without scripted dialogue written by a college-educated Hollywood screenwriter? Thankfully the WWE is a bit more professional these days, as reflected in the ratings. 😏
When Cornette talked about his segment with Heenan a few months ago, I couldn't find it anywhere on RUclips and two weeks ago someone uploaded it to RUclips. That is why it's trending. First time we saw it since 1993.
I literally just came to this moment going through Raw chronologically. I have a whole new appreciation for this moment. Heenan was outstanding and Cornette does it like only he can.
What I love so much about that debut is Bobby's priceless reaction to seeing you walking into the ring. That's what made your five minutes with him so genuine because he humanized the both of you as over babyface heels at a time when WWE was struggling to keep up with WCW.
This promo was fantastic. When Bobby sees Jim he goes nuts!! Bobby gets all tangled up in his headset wires. Two legends of the industry and two of the absolute best talkers on the planet, just an awesome moment in wrestling history
This clip was not available on RUclips until the last week(?). I tried to track it down months ago and only found it on Dailymotion. Hopefully Vince’s lawyers leave it TF alone. Early 90s WWE is considered a down time in the business, but it gave us Ric Flair confronting Hulk Hogan on the Funeral Parlor in 91 and Bobby Heenan embracing Jim Cornette in the ring on Raw in 93. Historic stuff.
@@TheSportsfan35 after JJ I would say "General" Skandor Akbar, Percy Pringle, Teddy Long, Gary Hart, "The Doctor Of Style" Slick, Adnan Al-Kaissie, & Jimmy Hart.
@@gregorylevi1826 I have no argument with any of the names you mentioned. I can tell you that if Fritz would've sold his territory to Vince back in the 80's, I think Ak would've done well for Vince & wouldn't have had any heat between him & the other managers there like Heenan or Blassie or Valiant.
I only got to know Bobby Heenan as a commentator but my dad was a big fan of him back in the day. He used to always tell me "nobody got beat up like Bobby Heenan" :)
Yeah I got the video as well and watched it. A lot of it I hadn't remembered, but it was so awesome. Heenan really lifted Cornette up by being so amazed he was in the wwf. Good stuff.
Jim and Bobby had to be great friends when I met Jim when I was 17 I told him my mom went to school with Rob Conway and were friends and Jim used Bobby's joke the hardest 3 years of Rob's life was repeating 3rd grade 3 times. Jim's a class act and great person to talk with
I had this clip suggested to me nearly a week ago, guys. Seeing The Brain gush in such a meaningful way at introducing you, Jim; it was so heartwarming, it was so wholesome and it left me awestruck. You and Bobby truly are the greatest managers of all time.
I uploaded the clip 2 weeks ago and its got 140,000 views since then. Crazy how viral it went, i thought it had been linked somewhere but its just been recommended by RUclips for some reason. Anyway my channel has loads of old cornette videos if anyone is interested.
@Bon Louis, Fuji was a great worker, BUT I wouldn't put him in the same league as Corny, Heenan & JJ Dillion. To me, Fuji was like Harley & Ole, a great worker, BUT not a great manager
@@TheSportsfan35 you haven't seen Fuji as a manager in his prime when he had "The Magnificent" Don Muraco. Especially when they terrorized Ricky " The Dragon" Steamboat
@@gregorylevi1826 Sure I did, I grew up watching him in the last few years of his in-ring career before he decided to go full-time as a manager. Like I said before, I have all the respect in the world for Fuji as well as for Freddie Blassie & Harley as workers in the ring, BUT when it comes to managing I wouldn't put those guys on the level as managing as I would Heenan, Corny & JJ. & then underneath them, I would put Gary Hart & Skandar Akbar, & then anyone else who worked as a manager. Just my opinion.
I think the reason the clip took off is because so many of us had no idea it existed and it just grabbed everyone's attention. I know when I saw it I had to stop what I was doing and watch it because I had no knowledge of it. Seeing Bobby and Jim work together like that was a treat. It was like seeing Ric Flair walk into a WWF ring and Hulk Hogan welcoming him like a long lost friend.
Something similar happened on the debut of Brother Love. Heenan came in and gushed about how great he was one week. Next week, Ted DiBiase gave him a bunch of money to fund his enterprise or whatever. Basically, the vibe was "These guys are terrible and they like this guy, so he must be terrible as well." The Key though, is the person being talked up as to hold up their end of it. And Corny and Love both did so.
However nervous Jim was pre show, must pale in comparison to him walking into ring hearing/seeing Heenan putting him over so profusely; talk about EXTRA pressure!!!
Heenan talking first is obvious genius. Set Jim up so he can barely fail. Don't let him talk and agree with him. Cos we know Heenan, so he GIVES the rub, Jim can't "take" it simply saying he knows/is excited to work with Heenan. Heenan is the legend, Jim the "protege"/future Beyonce tweeting about my music > me sending her demos
It's popular because as I said when I posted my reaction to it on the last video I commented on. It's popular because, it's more genuine. It's more real in a way. No scripts no B.S. Then, you add in Vince's reaction by calling out another promotion. Where remember, he punished Sammy Zayn for calling out AEW? I mean, just everything in that four minuets. Jim's reaction and Bobby's and just the whole thing. It was flawless.
Hah! I've had that clip on my recommended page for the last 5 days! Bobby Heenan put over Cornette huge in that segment and basically passed the torch. I think pretty much everybody who is subscribed to this channel or has watched these cornette video's was recommended the segment.
I only just saw that the other day. Never got to watch 80s wrestling and wasnt even born during that time but it was a good watch. Bobby played the "oh my god" thing well too. Got everyone even more invested into jim
I was born in 85, my family use to watch wrestling all the time. Earliest events I can remember is when Barry Windham turned on Lex Luger, ROad Warriors turning on Sting, Great Muta Vs Sting, Flair beating Steamboat and Terry Funk pile drivering him afterwards. Halloween Havoc 89 Flar/Sting vs Funk/Muta. Ultimate Warrior , Hulk Hogan , Macho Man , Rude and that Wrestlemania game on NES lol
I just randomly came across that clip earlier today & the even bigger coincidence is I came across this video maybe a few hours later, gotta love RUclips suggestions
I grew up watching both NWA & WWF...so when the 2 best managers & talkers from each show started hugging on national tv, it was like Christmas Morning!
I watched the clip today randomly. Then RUclips recommends this today. The algo is strong. I didn't know Jim Cornette at the time. Bobby Heenan was the man so his word was gold. If he said Cornette was good, he was good with me. Ever since then Ive rode with Corny.
RUclips recommended it to me too. Somehow I don't remember this at all though, despite watching regularly at the time, and going through every old RAW from 1993 up to like 99 recently.
Bobby's reaction to Jim was awesome. He really did a great job of putting Jim over.
uh... kind of more like putting him under? Which is sort of over? He made the fans boo, is my point, which was the goal.

Even the crowd popped with heat, amazing clip corny was on fire.
@@vipy4309 it looks like they had RAW in a parkade that night !! 😂
He sure did!!! I remember that!! Bobby interrupted Vince and said " Do you know who that is!!!??" The Greatest!!
Bobby Heenan. The greatest of all time. Devastated when he passed away.
Absolutely he was also the best all rounder in pro wrestling he was a great wrestler, the best manager and a brilliant commentator (in the wwf).
@Lol Lomao Shut up.
Agreed. He’s 1 cornette is 2
Sad when you watched some old matches, and everyone in and out the ring are gone!
no more pain though just peace

YES!!!
ANYONE that can make Brain pop is a somebody - woman, manager or wrestler.
I knew him from Crockett/WCW and I was shocked to see him there
I didn't know Cornette yet either. I was quite young. And I eventually hated Cornette with a passion. Brother knows how to draw heat!!
I love how Corny debuted and INSTANTLY hugged Bobby Heenan, the most hated man in the company.
Fan are already like "Aw fuck this guy!.
Hence why he will never show up on AEW and hug Punk, biggest heel turn for Punk
@@TimeBomb014XI'd love to see him show up on Collision. I know it probably won't happen, but damn it would make some waves.

1993 was awesome as a kid, and still awesome in hindsight. I was at Survivor Series 1993 lol.
Bobby Heenan was really happy when Jim showed up in WWE
As an old school fan of the 80s it is STILL surreal to see Bobby Heenan and Jim Cornette in the ring together!

Heavenly Bodies sucked after Stan Lane retired

RIP The Brain❤️
Everytime I watch that or think about it. I get serious body chills. Those two had a genuine love for each other.
The two best.
I could watch that moment over and over. Bobby was just ecstatic and Jim was signaling to Bobby to come into the ring, and that hug is priceless.

Yup. That same video appeared in the recommendations section lol
That segment shows the genius of Bobby Heenan and Corny to shoot from the hip and make it a classic.

Jim looked SO sweaty/scared.
WE LOVE YOU JIM, IT'S A GREAT MOMENT THAT DESERVED A RE-AUDIENCE.
Don't ask "Why?"
This was a huge deal for me. The two best (not to mention the two most entertaining,) managers in the business in the ring at the same time.

It randomly popped up on my RUclips suggestion a few days ago and it is amazing
The video on RUclips went from under 1K to about 100K in a week.
Literally a legendary moment in WWF. Stuff like that just doesn't happen anymore.
The Steiner’s vs Heavily Bodies is probably my favorite tag team match ever. Definitely top 3. PS I wish Bobby was still here 😢
It was a great match, definitely! I haven't watched it in years now but I used to love it at the time, watched it many times.

"Plateful of Piss" would make a great album title or a band name.
It was a great moment for Jim. Hearing Boos while walking down the WWF Ramp makes u instantly know u are more well known than u think.
RUclips recommended it to me too. Somehow I don't remember this at all though, despite watching regularly at the time, and going through every old RAW from 1993 up to like 99 recently.
A Duke University style Blue Devil? Terrific subtext acknowledging Jim's Carolinas history!😂B.W.
coming to this late, which proves Jim's point - great work from both Bobby and Jim (RIP Bobby Heenan).
