      Agreed! His enthusiasm is so infectious and, dare I say, pure? Some of us are nerds for comics (like myself) or action figures or sports. Cornette is a true wrestling nerd and I LOVE it! And hey, how many people can say that not only are they nerds of a certain subject, but they actually contributed to the very culture and history of the same subject in a significant way?

      There are only groups of people that dont seem to like Corny:
      People that think Vince Russo is the greatest thing to ever happen in professional wrestling, and conservatives. So people that either have Russo's balls in their mouth, or Trump's.
      Either way you look at it, a trait shared by Corny haters is that they love the taste of balls, and only take them out long enough to tell you how great they taste.

I love Jim Cornette and am glad that his knowledge is in a video that we can all watch. I watched the kauffman/lawler angle on tv when i was young. I lived my week to wake up saturday morning and watch wrestling. Great stuff. I cant wait to see the video.... Thanks Jim (if you read this) for your encyclopedic knowledge of wrestling and sharing it with us! Also Jim, when I was a young kid, i really "hated" you when I would see you on tv. You did a great job! Would like to shake your hand someday if I get the chance. You helped to make my youth fun.

      I grew up in the right era but the wrong area.
      Zero wrestling presence here physically and nothing easily accessible on television back then.

    Any person training to be a professional wrestler, whom has a serious passion for the business, should BEG to sit with Jim in this museum and just soak it in. It's worth the drive!

      I don't think it was a shot saying he learned to wrestle from that book. If anything that shows how good al snow was to learn how to work from a book

    Always cuttin promos haha love Jim!! You can just see how excited he gets about anything wrestling, thats his life and hes dedicated to it and wants to share it with anyone that wants to learn or anybody that will listen. Would love to meet the man. He'd be a hoot to hang out with.

    Passion for something that is genuine is worn on the persons face and Jim is a great example of this... you mention wrestling history in front of him and he comes alive

    Mr.Jim Cornette Thank you so very much for this video and all the incredibly entertaining stories you shared. I greatly appreciate the time you spent recording this and giving people the opportunity to experience just a small taste of some of the uniquely special souvenirs you've collected over time. In the harsh time we are living in now,you have taken me away from it all and helped me enjoy a moment of peace free of stress. Thank you.

  • @antoncheung5948
    @antoncheung5948 Před 3 lety +1

    When I was a teenager who thought that pro wrestling is real, i hated this guy to the bone. His mouth never stopped talking. If I'm not mistaken there was a match between Steiners Brother vs The Heavenly Bodies back then. When Scott held Jim's coat... wow i was so excited and hoped Scott would punch his face. Whatta magical time. But now after i learned that Jim is a pro wrestling expert if i may call him, i really love to hear the way he tells a story. God bless you Sir.

  • @glennrobbins2372
    @glennrobbins2372 Před 5 lety +3

    If there is a wrestling museum, that should be it. It just shows how passionate Jim is about wrestling. I could listen to his stories all day. He should seriously train new people in the business, how to work and cut promos. Maybe pro wrestling would be more interesting than it is now.

    The more i watch Jim cornette the more I like his videos. I always wondered what that frame of kane was when bobby henanan was there.
    For those u don't know the undertaker had a red glove attire in 1996 but that was used for a video game and wished he used it.
    JUST IMAGINE WHAT THE UNDERTAKER WAREHOUSE IS LIKE AT THE WWE HEADQAUTERS AN ENTIRE WAREHOUSE DEDICATED O THE UNDERTAKER WITH ALL HIS ATTIRES FROM 1990 TO 2019 TO ALL HIS STUFF. I WISH WWE RELEASED A VIDEO SHOWING ALL OF THAT.

  • @2Phaktz
    @2Phaktz Před 4 lety +1

    Jim may not know this, but with all of this historical information, collected and sorted in library form, he actually owns the business. He he owns the history has the ability to interpret it. Jim has his opinions but he has the right to voice them as he is a walking, talking encapsulation of pro wrestling history and acknowledges it...it isn't 'sports entertainment'. I hope he is smart enough to ensure the McMahon family will NEVER get their hands on this collection after he passes.
