“Jim Cornette on Dave Meltzer” *48 minutes*
Oh boy
My thoughts exactly. I may listen to this bit by bit.
* small cough * _"Let me tell you something about Uncle Dave real quick ..."_
I think Jim and Dave just need a sit down together to work out this friendship
"HERE WE GO!"
@@theskeeboo thank you
"I'm not socially awkward, I hate people to begin with."
Preach, Brother Jim!
LMFAO, fucking had to replay it bc i had to double take my hearing.
🤣🤣🤣
Same bro. Same.
When Brian said, "Dave is in a mid-life crisis in a wrestling bubble." - what an absolute put-down. Brutal.
It's so accurate, it's like his take on Matt Hardy and Chris Jericho, absolutely spot on, these C list washed-up celebs, or in Dave's case, a never-was, pseudo-celeb who are completely out of touch with reality, including their own job.
Exactly
You could describe so many of these wrestling "journalists" the exact same way. It's so pathetic.
Ruthless
But pot meet kettle, amirite?
I was dying at jim describing how Dave "no sold" him ending their friendship haha
That's the most standard wrestling phrase going. No selling is a state of mind backstage.
"Dave has become the 60 year old man going to the K-pop concerts trying to fit in." - The Great Brian Last
“He can barely get through a sentence!”
Dave responds: “Well, you know, I mean, you know, basically, it’s like, I mean, you know.”
'...which is fine..... but, uh....'
...and another thing is uhh, like well, what I find interesting is... y'know well really what I mean is...
shitting on how someone talks is punching down and is not funny
@@matt92550 the point is Meltzer didn't always talk like that and his inability to effectively communicate is a sign of his overall deterioration.
@@matt92550 "well, like, you know, actually, well, ok if your, and here's there thing"
Dave Meltzer legit sent Corny a "well actually" email LMAO
Nah, it was just trivia 'from one obsessive to another'. Corny didn't have any issue with that. He saw it as cordial.
Kenny: "Jim Cornette is deplorable because he says things"
Also Kenny: "Chasyn Rance? Don Callis? Look I dont know what you're talking about "
One has to ask if Kenny is just as guilty as Chasyn and Don.
@@joshuabrown5123 Would it be a surprise to hear he knew about Joey Ryan's bullshit before it became public?
@@theatheistbrony9332 Not at all. I'm just hoping someone can push these incidents in the media so that it puts TNT in a position to address them. And by addressing them, forces AEW to remove Callis, Omega, Jericho, etc. from the show.
Kenny is deplorable because he’s taking a Cluess man money that doesn’t know the business he’s makes Dixe Carter look real smart and the cokookamaga twins is bow down to their senile Uncle Dave
@@joshuabrown5123 what happened?
Imagine 1991 Dave Meltzer reviewing 2021 Dave Meltzer in the Observer. Negative two stars at best.
Dave Meltzer used to speak more clearly.
@@misterpinkandyellow74 it's like night and day hearing Dave from the 90s to the Dave in 2021.
MINUS FIVE STARS! jk
@@supergluehotty 1991 Meltzer wasn't wasn't better. His feigned outrage over the Persian Gulf was as much of fake news as I've ever seen it. That stuff with Slaughter was too campy and comedic to be taken seriously. Pro wrestling has always been exploitative art. I don't see the issue
He also wrote long columns lamenting about snitching on Jake Roberts, signaling his virtue by citing Bruiser Brody's advice to him that he's to always tell the truth. Yet did he ever talk about the gross sexual assaults in wrestling that I'm almost certain he knew about? He apparently knew about Bill DeMott's hazing, then said nothing. I understand the need to protect your sources as a journalist, but don't go on about being a truth teller. He never was and he has always had an axe to grind. Even his anti-steroid nonsense about McMahon was fake news as well. The Feds had no case, and it surprises me that it wasn't dismissed in pre-trial motions upon discovery. Meltzer, of course, blamed that on prosecutors for not understanding the business. But it wasn't that. The best he could argue, which is highly tenuous, is that McMahon conspired steroid trafficking by rewarding bulked up, chemically enhanced bodies. Somehowitt escaped him that people like Akeem, Andre the Giant, and Earthquake, who all had top programs, likely weren't juicing.
His journalism isn't wholly worthless but it's vastly incomplete. I'm not surprised that insiders tend to dislike him given how much weight he's (wrongly) given
Did he still overuse writing tropes like starting sentences with: “the bad thing about…”?
Once everyone goes back to realizing social media isn't real life, everything will get better for everyone.
Or, if people start treating others on social media like how they would treat them in real life.
This is what I've been saying! It's just an app and people take it as life and the law.
I agree but that bell cannot be un-rung.
@@notgonnapay People are garbage. Thats not going to change. Expecting them to will only lead to your disappointment.
Unfortunately, it is real life for sooooo many people
I'm with Team Corny: He's been in and around the wrestling business for over 40 years, and he's still DRAWING MONEY......he's seen wrestling from EVERY ANGLE u can see it from.....when he tells u something is good or bad, he also explains WHY it's good or bad......he puts u right in the action from the perspective of someone who's "been there"........😏
The best part of this entire vid is how much Jim and Brian stand up for each other. It's the best.
It is so cutw
I'm seriously considering getting Jim saying "fuck you" as my text alert tone
It'll be in Corey's collectables next week lol
I'm stealing this idea
Better: Later on in the show he gets a phone call, and just fires off a burst like "Don't Have None, Don't Want None, Don't Do None. Take your pick and F*** OFF!!!" - that might even be worth using on an answerphone message...
"Fuck you fuck off" is the ultimate funny
@@CaptLoquaLacon Thanks for the heads up haven't heard the episode yet lol
Well now I know what I'm listening to once dinner is ready.
I thought the same thing but on my break at work! Lol
I listen as I cook, meal comes out better lol
I'm listening as I'm making dinner. Pan pizza tonight, folks!
@@messey12 I’m on til 10. Save me some! 😂
Already ahead of you.
This was personally my favorite rant from Jim! The way he says bosom get me everytime! 🤣🤣🤣
They have taken him to their boosom. 😂
That little bit at the end about Jim and Brian not knowing why they get along was the most wholesome part of any podcast Jim Cornette has ever done
Meltzer is just disillusional. The fact he thought jobber Nick Jackson had a better match than HBK vs Taker at WM25 is hilarious.
Delusional* is the word you are looking for lol
@@davey3884 *deleuzianal
That’s insane
@@cwright-noche I know right, it's subjective all right but still
@@davey3884 Yeah.. Because the grammar was really the thing that got people confused right
I literally have a playlist for Jim and uncle Dave
can you make it public so I can save it in my library?
@@RoadsterExpress yea I got you bro
@@RoadsterExpress I made it public
@@RoadsterExpress you can save it
Me too
Jim: "We're not friends anymore! Thank you, fuck you, bye!"
Meltzer: "Well... you know... plans change."
One of my main 'triggers' is being told that I don't 'really' mean it, when stating my opinion.
It is so insulting.
Don't worry, that means those douches don't care about their own opinions, that means they represent nothing.
Uncle Dave will say and do anything to remain relevant in a world that needs him less and less
He’s such a creepy weirdo.
I wouldn’t burn an (AEW)Observer because that means I’d have to buy one. 😂😂😂
Is that still a magazine? 😂
Dave is useless. Remind is Cornette booking shows? What is he doing exactly from the same bit over and over? It's very odd how people listen to the same Corny rant over and over and over and over.
"Fondling HimSelf While Thinking of ReeHoe Matches!"
😂
Loved this clip, but I can't stop laughing at the "people started eating cow shit off the side of the road and liking it, but he won't.. he's out of touch!" Best thing I've ever heard.
jim went in as always but holy shit, absolutely LOVED how brian precisely dismantled dave. I liked how jim really emphasized his decades-long friendship/relationship with dave, but brian with his third-party perspective had a unique catharsis to it.
A 40 minute segment on Meltzer, yes this is gonna be good. And its becoming like a monthly thing now 😂
By Meltzer's logic, Sam was responsible for the Son of Sam.
That dog was persuasive though😂🤣
Just like that time Jodi Foster got that guy to shoot Reagan by......... existing.
But did he eat green eggs and ham?
3 things:
1. I appreciate Jim and Brian defending their listeners and FU Omega.
2. I love it when Brian goes off on someone it's subject. Makes me proud to be a NY/NJ guy who now lives in Maryland.
3. Fuck modern wrestling.
You know Jim still cares when he actually gives credit where it's due while burying someone for 48 minutes.
Meltzer’s going to start talking to Russo to make Corny jealous. “Heyyy bro…”
Yep, Meltzer is going to go on the brand with Vince Russo, just to trash Jim loli
@@TheFailedmessiah it clear jim and russo are the same lvl of shit you just dont want to see it
Russo hates Meltzer too but might use him to get at Jim
@@calikid05 you people need to realize that jim and russo dont matter its a running joke everything they say and do is one big joke
@Aaron Lassiter And BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE
I hope we get a Dark Side of the Ring episode of Cornette vs. Meltzer in the future
or just Meltzer vs. The Truth
A Dark Side episode on dirt sheets in general would be very entertaining
@@ASwagPecan Meltzer vs Reality.
Miss Elizabeth had a really hairy muff and so does Debra
Only when one of them dies / suicide
The "bank addicted drug robber" is now in AEW can't wait for that reaction 🤣🤣🤣
I wanna see Travis art on that
And his reaction to that
I really don't know why they want him. I'm tempted to blame Joey Janella for this being as I know Gage wrestled on at least one event which he promoted.
@@tempestfennac9687 Probably Moxleye set it up.
@@micahjohnsonboxing6409 Good point. I forgot about Mox praising him on that documentary until after I blamed Joey.
Jim Cornette is the master of the promo. He is just honest 😆
Whenever Corny talks about one subject for nearly an hour it's always great.
Especially when he tries to defend people that sexually harrass people while only giving scorn to people that happen to wrestle in a way he doesn't like. Great guy.
Lots of sharp breaths and aggravated interjections lol
22:30 So basically, what he's saying is..."Nobody should give this guy any attention, while I give him attention in my Newsletter." Great job Uncle Dave.
Right? Such a self refuting argument.
Cornette just wants someone to listen to him and validate what he grew up watching and participating in, which is why he always found in Meltzer a ready audience. Meltzer has always had a shallow, algorithmic view of wrestling, whose ratings could be predicted by AI, and who amounts to a Ralph Nader consumer advocate of wrestling.
It's hard to feel bad for Cornette given that he long has had an axe to grind. More dignified people would just retire instead of watching wrestling he hates, then whining about it every week. I'm sure he has more than enough to retire
this literally sums up Dave Meltzer
@@fruitjoosh9555 If you were remotely astute (you're clearly not), I'm a woman and I watched maybe 2 minutes of AEW in its entire existence to know that the product isn't any good.
The factions in this aren't a binary and this isn't a football game, though that might be beyond your cognitive grasp. Cornette is the most guilty person of breaking kayfabe since Eddy Mansfield. He also has been a snitch to a shallow autistic character like Meltzer for years. It's pretty clear that Cornette is motivated by promoting a certain brand of rasslin to which he's drawn and that arguably has not been marketable since 1987. That he got burnt by his own yard dog is more poetic justice than however he's trying to frame the issue re Meltzer.
Meltzer only likes MOVEZ. That has been obvious for decades. That Cornette was too much of a mark for himself to notice that is no virtue on his end. Meltzer didn't change, as Cornette maintains. Meltzer has always been that way.
As for my words, well, unlike you, I read and listen to arguments carefully. I set up premises, claims, arguments, evidence through many different methods, and conclusions. You, on the other hand, are clumsy, intellectually and otherwise. That's why I was admitted to top universities, and you weren't. See how that works?
It's so ungodly amusing that you'd think I'd be interested in some incel, neckbeard smark promotion like AEW. Get a grip. Cornette is a hypocrite. For all his whining about how others expose the business, he sure likes to get himself over by doing that and doing it more than just about anyone else I can think. Look at his 1997 shoots on Raw and tell me how any of what he said made any sense without a kayfabe context. My brand of wrestling hasn't been around in 30 years.
Please work on your reading comprehension as well. I'm actually teaching the GRE Verbal later today.
I swear, Johnny D's reply makes even less sense upon my having read my initial reply. He sounds more confused than Gino Hernandez on a blow binge 🤣
Just wanna take a minute to appreciate bryan for standing by jim in this situation, we see Dave's stabbing jim in the back, but its easy to miss that Bryan is stepping up and standing with jim here rather than sitting back and ignoring everything
Meltzer is turning into Stacy from Wayne's World, "We broke up months ago!"
Dave: "that doesn't mean we still can't go out..."
If Cornette isn’t careful he is gonna lose Dave.
YOU WIN
When’s Meltzer going to give Cornette a gun rack?
@@neversatisfied4123 I don’t think Cornette owns A gun, let alone many guns, that would necessitate an entire rack.
Andre the Giant V Hogan
Brett V Shawn Michaels
Undertaker V Mankind
Stone Cold V Rock
Jim Cornette V Uncle Dave
Cornette vs Russo is better
@@bennywatts4174 It's the prequel everyone loves before the sequel tires everyone out.
@@bennywatts4174 how about a triple threat match... Cornette vs Russo vs Meltzer... in a HELLLL IN A CELLLLL MATCH!!!
Dawg, he’s just spoiling us today.
Cornette always finds the weakest link. Lol
I’m more interested in the heat between Brian and Conrad Thompson
That would be interesting. I'm not a fan of Thompson.
I listen to Cornette pretty much every day. I have no clue who "Dorf Dong Sucker" is but, it sends me into hysterics every time he says it 🤣🤣
"I have no clue who "Dorf Dong Sucker" is"
Marko Stunt(ed Growth), he did a spot at an outlaw mudshow where another wrestler was working to force him to gag on a dildo in the ring.
Marco Stunt got forced onto a sex toy by a wrestler in the indies.
Anytime Jim talks about Uncle Dave, it's always a must watch video here on this channel.
After decades of Meltzer believing he knows more about booking than every other promoter (without ever actually running a promotion himself) there finally comes a company that shares most of his takes on modern wrestling and now he feels a personal need to safeguard it to prove that his opinions were objectively true all along. So much of his ego is wrapped up in AEW that if it ever fails it would tank his reputation.
Good point. I still think AEW/Tony Khan is also paying Meltzer, but doing it by bulk subscribing to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
So true
@KaneMagus Where are you getting "most people" from? I don't like Meltzer's behavior, but he's still one of the most influential writers in wrestling. He's the main reason any U.S. fans even know who Kenny Omega is.
I can't wait to see Jim's reaction on the "Bank addicted drug robber" making an appearance on AEW
It doesn't hurt my theory that the biggest surprise of all will be Marty "I like 'em Young, Dumb, and Drunk" Scurll.
I bet they will start putting him over like mfer because he was on Dark side of the ring yet they pretty much did absolutely nothing with Brian Pillman Jr, a talent that any booker with a brain could make something out of.

Hello from the uk. I absolutely love everything on this show. Every episode. Only to say, this isn't a ancient regional news letter. This a world wide superb show, with a world wide audience. You are an amazing tag team. Keep up the great work. Thanks
Dave and Twinkletoes are just using the modern media techniques, somebody criticizes your craft, you attack them using moral points. Fuck them. Go Corny, we'll always be behind you.
Twinkletoes is omega?
@@gabrielxbb723 yeah
For all you young folks out there who don’t get the boiling rabbit reference, there was a scene in the 1987 film Fatal Attraction where a scorned woman (played by Glenn Close), seeking revenge on her ex-lover who she fell in love with during an affair, (played by Michael Douglas), places his family's beloved pet rabbit in a pot of boiling water when he is away from the house.
Right on bro yea i didnt get it i figured it was like the horsehead from godfather or sum tho
I knew it was from an 80s movie, just couldn't remember which one.
thanks dad.
I was just looking up a series called fatal attractions when wild pets attack and got that movie a day ago lmao
its a very good movie reference, plus fatal attraction is a very good movie :)
I’m a Cornette fan and I don’t have a low I.Q! I got my doctorate in quantum physics from Cambridge University in 2005 and have an I.Q of 173 and have all the paperwork to prove it, I can’t speak for every Jim Cornette fan but I can certainly speak for myself. I first saw Jim Cornette in 93 when he joined the WWF as WCW wasn’t on Sky TV (satellite tv) until 95 when Nitro started on TNT and back then I hated Cornette and it wasn’t until I was an adult that I ended up thinking Cornette is absolutely amazing
The "Dave the Dynamic Dude" face always makes my day better
Damn, Corny's rants on ol uncle Dave are approaching Russo length
The hatred is building lol
I swear I got Russo hate vibes from this lmao. Guess Cornette going to try to outlive both now?
@@popo0129 He could. He's younger than both of them.
I love how Cornette pronounces bosom like "booze-um".
Lightest comment of this whole ordeal lol
LOL....WOW!!!! Brain really laid the hammer down on Meltzer in this one. I've never been prouder of Mr. Last for speaking the cold, hard, brutal truth.
Kenny Omega calling Corny's fans "manchildren"...I wonder if he understood what "irony" is...
Nope

Jim Cornette is the best thing left in wrestling.
I have had friends like Meltzer. They don't know when they have pushed someone too far, and can't grasp someone may be too angry to deal with them
I got family like meltzer...drives me fucking nuts
0:35 The music in the background playing was hilarious.
I was done with Dave Meltzer once he proclaimed the Young Bucks are the Best Tag Team of their Generation?!… 🤷🏿♂️
Meltzer is out of touch and The Young Bucks are the equivalent of generic Hardy Boys
He actually compared them to the Midnight Express, you got to be ribbing me.
I can't figure out how much the Bucks are paying Uncle Dave to suck on their hemmorhoids. They're the true dwarf dongsuckers (why does Jim hate Marko Stunt so much when Marko isn't pushed seriously?)
@@brad3042 Because fucking look at the state of Marko Stunt 😂
@Ronan The Accuser he's a comedy wrestler and seems to know it. Now, if they push him toward more serious opponents or a mid-card title, then you have grounds to complain.
I started turning on Meltzer way before a lot of people did. Why? Because for at least a decade, he couldn't shut up about MMA. He wouldn't say five words about wrestling without going on a tangent about how great the UFC was, how wrestling needed to be more like it, more 'realistic', and so on. Ever notice how he stopped that right about the time AEW came about?
The ironic thing is he's now pushing something that couldn't be less realistic
That's from a time MMA was way more over than nowadays. Dave sways with the wind. A hypocrite. A liar.
Me too, I was surprised to learn that Cornette was friends with the douche.
Meltzer has always been biased for certain promotions over the years in phases or binges. All Japan through the 80s and 90s, ROH and Mexico in the early 2000s, New Japan for the last 15 years or so.
Very true and I never thought of that.
I do not agree with Jim politically and I don’t think Omega is a bad wrestler but he critiques wrestling so well, especially the modern stuff. I find it hard to disagree with most of what he says and at the end of the day looking at viewership he’s right, hardly anyone is watching it. Blaming Jim for a mad fan is crazy, Meltzer has lost the plot I think he is on the AEW payroll tbh.
I agree with why Jim hates Omega. And its not because Omega is a so-so overrated wrestler, but because Omega embarrassed the business.
Also I vote republican, and when Cornie talks politics I just roll my eyes and hit fast forward
Lots of us do that. It's not us Republicans trying to get Jim cancelled. I just skip to his wrestling talk and see him as politically ignorant. We can see past these things.
When Jim sticks to wrestling, he's great. A lot of what he said is true. Meltzer is out of touch. I don't think Omega is bad. But I get his critiques.
@@paulearl8203 You actually think the capitol wasn’t attacked
Agreed. I'm from the party that thinks the big two are all crooks lol sorry Corny and Omega can put on some great matches... Don't mention Marko or Riho though lol
I think I speak for most of us when I say we would never jump the rails at an AEW event because that means we paid to be at an AEW event in the first place.
Brilliant comment 😂👍🏽
Excellent comment :)
Highly underrated comment
Finally, wrestling content on a Wednesday
It's Wednesday, you know what that means
🎶Wednesday Nights I like to stay up late 🎶
I know what you did there 😂
Wednesday is "What Happened Whrn".
Meltzer finally feels like hes one of the boys when they name a finisher after him and actually hang out with him that's why he will defend them till the end he had a crush on them and I still would not put him past him that hes on the aew payroll the guy is delusional
This is probably the most accurate thing ever.
I love how this feud is way better than anything on AEW or WWE.
Everything Cornette says is fact and just pure gold! I'll pick any random raw or nitro from the 90s on CZcams over the garbage on nowadays any time I want to watch wrestling.
Wrestling yes but politics no he’s very stupid on that subject and is a big moron on that subject
"Hey Jim! I'm gonna talk shit about you on the internet, but also send you trivia via email!" - Uncle Dave
At my job, I will occasionally have some older wrestling on in the background while I am working. I will hear from customers sometimes who used to watch wrestling but haven't in many years. The general consensus from people outside the wrestling bubble is that it's boring now.
Yeah I only have one friend who likes to watch with me but few others will just either do or not depending on their mood and if there is anything to do. AEW, no one will watch at all after like two shows they just really don't want to. I only stuck around just to see if it would get any better or worse and just laugh at some of the stupid dumb shit they do but even that got boring and I got more annoyed by the end of every show.
And just to show how serious they are about being a legit wrestling company, they've brought in Nick Gage...
Goddamn I cannot WAIT to hear Jim talk about the bank addicted drug robber debuting on dynamite 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They keep trying to make sense of someone that is clearly not a rational adult. Whether he’s on the spectrum, or suffers from borderline personality disorder, there is something going on with Dave. His inability to understand boundaries and his rapid switch between idolization and contempt all point to something being wrong. To try to make sense of his actions is futile.
Not even trying to say this as a diss, but when Corny was reading that trivia e-mail from Dave it sounded exactly like how some of the kids with autism I've worked with in the past would speak and write.
@@PKHalford Lmao that is kind of true. I remember one I think teenager who had autism was in the video store I was doing my co op in and he basically knew every Dragon Ball Z episode and everything that happened in them. It does remind me of the Meltzer email where he just randomly explains everything even though no one asked for it. I don't mind the Dragon Ball Z guy because he was in the store looking for one of the season DVD's and he wasn't disrespectful at all. Dave on the other hand still knew Jim hates him and doesn't want him to talk to him but just emails him anyways.
@@PKHalford I'm on the spectrum myself and yeah, that email registered as classic spectrum infodumping to me, the kind I had to sort of teach myself not to do because people don't like it
To be fair, Jim isn’t always the most rational person either. When he’s constantly threatening to kill people, talking about how happy it would make him to kill certain people, making threats on camera, that comes off as a bit messed up in its own right.
Have to admit, I tought about the spectrum too. If that's it, and the Bucks and co make profit of that, is a new level of low
HE'S A PLANT GUYS, they are trying to show how tough they aren't.
When Brian said “Let me stop this”, I LOST MY SHIT
32:15 is honestly where I damn near died laughing. Seriously considering putting this as my ringtone for undesirable contacts so I know not to answer.
So Meltzer buries him online, but emails him? Wow.
I 100% agree with Jim on everything but try to stay agnostic on the feud (I do enjoy hearing Jim talk about it though) but as someone who got the Observer religiously in its early years my one big criticism of Meltzer is he seems to be Working more than Shooting since the internet came around hence the emails as if he and Jim are working an angle (shades of the Young Bucks being incapable of telling the difference between the two).
Funny how you hear others say Jim and Paul fed him info for his dirt sh!t lol.
Actually both Jim and Melt are milking you sheeps by creating controversy. I'm sure they both are in good terms and have an agreement to bad mouth each other to stay relevant.
@Youtosux you are bit of a dimwit aren't you who lives in a world of his own. Look I'm not going to outright attack or call you names because I stand nothing to gain from this digital war of words 😘 bye
@@TheGreatVivek7 nah this is how someone who is schizophrenic views the world. To believe that Jim is not an honest man is to not believe in anything you hear. Good luck bud.
I'm used to Brian being the calm collected one. It was weird to hear him get real hot. He's not wrong though. I'm 22 and prefer to watch pre WWF territory matches than anything all elite has ever done
The old WWF days was actually entertaining.
@@chadk890 oh I agree. But God I could watch the midnight and flair all day
Listening to Brian get madder than Jim was bizarre, but learning the context made the whole situation sad. Dave's just... gone.
@@richardpreston7333 it's true, and I will say I 100 percent agree with Brian and Jim. How the young fucks weren't ran out of the business years ago is shocking to me
@@chadk890 Old WCW was better.
Listening to this while eating dinner had me rolling .
The heat Dave gets from Jim is fantastic
After decades of having a meaningful place in the wrestling world, I think Dave's afraid to accept the fact that that world is long gone. Which means he too is gone. And because there is nowhere else to go in wrestling anymore, he's willing to take whatever is thrown out in front of him to avoid having to let it go. The wrestling world is what gave Dave his identity and made him an important figure practically his entire adult lifetime. The thought of not having that identity anymore, or not being significant to someone anymore, is what I think he's struggling the most to deal with.
Not being relevant (at this stage in his life) to a modern wrestling world that has past him by is probably so scary for him that he will literally do or say anything to be considered "hip" or in the "now" by a company full of brats that don't give a damn about him at all. But hey...they named a wrestling move after him so I guess that means they "care." And because of that Dave is prepared to lie to you and betray you in their names. That makes Dave sad and it makes Dave dangerous. Which is exactly why Corny went off the way he did.
Yeah hat a little dull, when basically every Match is a 0 Star Match. But i guess dave always eated the acrobatics anyway.
Oh boy, time to fetch the popcorn. This one gonna be good.

Meltzer is that older guy that hangs out at gas stations buying teenagers beer so he can be the “cool guy “
Dave’s situation is VERY easy to explain…he’s not “on the payroll”, he’s not this or that. He wants to be right. You see it everywhere nowadays (especially with political issues 🙄). Everybody doubles down, nobody examines their “team’s” outlook or offers a dissenting opinion to its dominant narrative. That’s what’s happening here. Dave has surrendered to his “team’s” groupthink, therefor he MUST defend their honor at all times.
I agree with that. That line of thinking is everywhere, and I'm beyond sick of it.
"Out of Touch" is Matt Hardy vs. Christian Cage 20 years past the date.
@KaneMagus It's because both men know how to actually tell a story in the ring and not just do flips and dives
they talk about it during Dynamite, saying it's a classic rivalry. When did that happen? before CC left for TNA?
the battle of the Jannetty's
@KaneMagus but honestly still better than most RAW matches and some Smackdown!! WWE has fallen into such a horrible shitty pattern of booking and ruining NXT call ups that AEW is more entertaining all around!!!
I felt it was a great match. Both Christian and Matt Hardy were on fire 🔥
48 minutes!? I watch the CZcams videos because I can't commit that amount of time to listen to full podcasts. Guess I'm just going to have to suck it up
Corny sounds ready to turn into Busta Rhymes in this so far as I'm listening. Stay in 😂🤙🏽
He mostly says the same thing over and over and over again
Plenty of fantastic long-form content on here.
The full Corny podcasts are worth it.
@Youtosux I didn't mean the podcast, I mean this specific 48 minute Snippet.
All these months that Jim was reluctant to say "fuck you" to Dave made me know we would eventually reach to this point. Shouldn't feel this way, but this feel cathartic.
He’s so nice and heated he forgot to called Russo by his real name 🤣 love this
Holy shit!! Did Uncle Dave just go out of his way to insult my I.Q.? Lmao 🤣 😂
The fact that Dave is emailing Jim like nothing happened is weird, but I am enjoying the mental image of Lou Thesz surfing.
I don't think anyone has buried Meltzer the way Cornette just did.
😂😂😂 I've only got up to 2:45 and i'm already in danger of breaking ribs through laughing too hard.
So when did people start to realize Dave was a putz?
When AEW started for a lot of fans.
So, you're a grown ass adult who follows wrestling and doesn't think they're a putz? LOL. Good awareness.

Yeah I think he has problems, when he talks about omega and young bucks he sounds like a child trying to talk nice about someone to be friends. He has a child’s brain.

'member when Cornette diagnosed Meltzer with autism? I member
Had to come back and watch this classic clip twice. 😂
Cornette said that the Jim Cornette business makes more money for him than the wrestling business.
Dave Meltzer has been in the Dave Meltzer business for about 5 years now.
Crazy Uncle Dave.
Old Tuna Meltzer
Reminds me of Wayne's World. "Stacy, we broke up two months ago." "Well, that doesn't mean we can't still go out." "Well it does actually. That's what breaking up is." Next Dave is going to give Jim a gun rack as a present.
Seriously though this was sad to listen to. It's a friendship ending over one guy not liking something the other guy does and the other guy getting defensive about it. It could be as simple as "Jim doesn't like this but we're allowed to have different tastes." Wrestling is entertainment, it's subjective. Jim can dislike AEW and Dave can like it.
"What would I do...with a gun rack?"
"I don't even have A gun."
The Dave Meltzer tongue-hanging thumbnail gets me every time
Yea Dave is whacked out. He lost all credibility as a journalist with his overly biased writing and radical support for AEW.
He lost credibility as a journalist the moment he kept reviewing matches of people who have named a move after him - that's pretty much textbook conflict of interest! Not that I'd wish GamerGaters on anyone, but if that movement had genuinely been about journalistic integrity you'd have to think they'd have some interest in Dave...
@@CaptLoquaLacon Good point. I've always thought that Dave lost any credibility many years before AEW came about.
Then again Jim is stuck in the past and has pretty bad self-awareness at times so they are both weird but just like different things. Jim is better at forming proper sentences while talking though.
@@storkfletcher821 The INDUSTRY is stuck in the past. AEW are trying to poorly imitate ECW with bits of FMW and the attitude era thrown in, trying to use lots of nostalgia (CM Punk, Chris Jericho, Sting, Matt Hardy, CHristian...). The only thing they have in their favour is WWE seems to be trying to revert to the 80s!
Jim goes to the past when certain fundamental things were done better like match psychology and booking, but listen to the praise he has for things like Ilja vs WALTER - it can still be modern and good. The trouble is wrestling has become like Michael Bay movies with lots of spectacle, but without the logic to make it engaging for an even mildly discerning audience which is one of the reasons why both companies would kill for the ratings that TNA used to have!
@@CaptLoquaLacon The industry isn't as stuck in the past compared to Jim since he can't handle most of the indie style, which is certainly more modern than what he keeps talking about.
He's also twisted in his idea of realism, often advocating things that still aren't realistic, and complain about things like how the V-Trigger supposedly isn't a good move despite that it's one of the more viable wrestling moves if we look at what works in real fighting.
He also complains about goofiness, while at the same time laughs merrily when he reminisces his times running around with a tennis racket and being goofy. Not the greatest self-awareness.
It's of course fine to not be a fan of something but since he's completely ignoring the changing context of the entertainment scene when he's talking about that AEW isn't sucessful, despite just having been around a bit over a couple of years, it becomes pretty weird.
It all really falls into place when you realize that he gets much more upset over the fact that Kenny Omega exists in wrestling than that Flair sexually harassed a woman. For the latter he kept trying to soften the issue by that there was no ill intent meant and it's just unfortunate circumstances. So I maintain my position that Jim's credibility is very much in question as well, if Meltzer's is because he's biased.
Dave and Bryan Alvarez were nerds and now taken seriously.... The wrestling fan base had shrunken to the point that they feel important now
💯 he keeps talking omega and the bucks success. Being the big fish in a mud hole that used to be an ocean isn’t success.
@@troystaunton254 He isn't even a big fish, Impact rating has been shit, even with Omega appearances and matches
