Darn. I was hoping Jim would comment on Mickie James coming out with that title belt. Can't believe Vince ok'd that.
Hardcore Country!
Separate video probably
She had ONE elimination just one!
Some kinda Champ Vince is smart as shit
I think he was okay because impact isn’t no competition.
Thanks. I was wondering if I should keep listening....
Ronda: comes out at 28
Bryan: I would have brought her out at 28 instead
Well, the original cut of "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" was 202 minutes long. And in my opinion one of the best comedies of all time. But I have to admit, you have to watch the movie multiple times to get all the jokes. The more I saw the movie the more I liked it.
🧐🧐🧐
That movie was hella classic. It is the best comedy of all time.
Where can I watch it?
It ended up inspiring the movie Rat Race!
It’s the big W I’m telling ya!
Ronda was gassed and looked out of shape. They covered it the best they could with her gear, but that cameo does not not excite me for another Ronda-Becky WM match 🥱
Ronda/Charlotte match
Maybe the dumbest Rumble moment of all time happened when, while on commentary, Sonya Deville "discovers" that Cameron was Naomi's tag partner, which suddenly insults her and gets her in the ring finally. "Cameron was Naomi's tag partner" is literally the only thing that is known about Cameron by anyone.
Sonya didn't know that. So what?
Sonya’s character of having on a jacket means she can’t be touched lol. Terrible show. Everything is bad.
Worse yet, Cameron and Naomi feuded before Cameron got canned! Kayfabe-wise they weren't friends anymore, although in real life they maintained good relationship from what little we know.
@@horgh_japan When someone returns from "exile" all is forgotten when it comes to ex-tag team partners apparently
@@MrSniperfox29 Or when they get moved from NXT to the main roster (DIY reuniting on RAW while in the middle of a blood feud in NXT).
"OK Rhonda once you get in throw people in the corner and give them the worst fake punches you can come up with then repeat but you're winning"
Sir, if you had seen her boxing before you'd know that was her best real punching.:p
@@coachmikesfilmroom3111 Excellent point.
She's terrible I never liked her she ain't nothing but a one trick pony.
adam cole looks smaller than most of the women in the match lmao
Cole is the Riho of men's division
WWE gave more exposure to the Impact Knockouts roster in one night than AEW did in nearly a year of active partnership.
I really hated that Molly and Melina and Ivory got to do absolutely nothing in the Royal Rumble match. I loved the return of Ronda Rousey and I loved that Mickie got to do her natural gimmick/entrance and even got to wear her Impact belt to the ring and be introduced as the Impact Knockout champion.
Consider their ages, it was the safest way to work with them. It was great to see Ivory and Molly again, sad Melina was only first
Melina was supposed to last longer, she fell off the apron when she wasn't supposed to.
@@jdixon390 both Molly and Melina are younger than Lita (44, 42, and Lita 46). Lita is in the middle of a return and lasted a bit in the rumble. Now Ivory is 60 and her appearance was just that. But it was nice to see her anyways.
Rhonda returning is what killed it all lmao because it became predictable af
This is Ronda’s first Rumble. Her rumble debut was when Ronda came out after Asuka had won the rumble. Ronda’s first match was at WrestleMania where she tagged with Kurt Angle vs HHH & Stephanie
And she was champion by the following Rumble and gone after that Wrestlemania
Wow really nobody knew that but you huh
@@charlierobles316 Apparently Corny & Brian didn't recall.
I’m glad Jim mentioned it. It felt like everybody forgot to feed the guy/girl who just got in. They’d do a few moves and fuck off into the corner. That really might’ve been the worst part of the rumbles. Zero energy.
Right?! Guy comes in ready to fight, laying people out left and right with finishers and signature moves and moves on. It's really not that hard to come up with xD
One of the problems is that everyone is playing dead when the new person comes into the rumble
It’s cause Vince rewrote the script 20 times the day before the show
@@bootneyfarnsworth2844 yeah it’s hard to suspend disbelief when it’s this outrageous
It was more entertaining than the men's match, I'll give it that. And I popped a few times for Melina, Lita and even a RTC Ivory lol
Can’t work, can’t cut a promo, and nobody likes her. Ronda is perfect to main event WrestleMania.
She got the biggest pop in the women's rumble. She's a UFC hall of famer, and an olympic medalist in judo, which means she actually has the potential of being a great worker. Why so much hate ? I don't get it.
@@hamzac11 Nobody cares.. She's just an opportunist. She's not giving it her all with full respect like Kurt Angle.
🤣🤣🤣 I bet she could kick your ass
Dawg she is real the biggest star by far and and knows how to do what these women fake. Ronda rousey haters mind as well not even be smart fans. Some ones who hate charlotte
@@joshkennedy2868 she’s 130 lbs and can’t take a punch
Spencer Tracy was Captain Culpepper and rocked the whole of IAMMMMW. Jimmy Durante was the ‘plot’. Fantastic in spots; Keaton’s 10 second bit was great and Jim Backus as the piss-drunk millionaire pilot is still hysterical.
"momma.. don't worry momma... your boy is on his way"
@@contour157 What is this infernal obsession with bosoms?
Sadly, Groucho was asking for too much money...
Jerry Lewis running over that hat, the look on his face LOL!!!!!!!
Been waiting for this! Love this show.
There was a lot of twerking and shaking ass in this match. I loved it.
Glad to see Melina still looking super thicc
For a “PG” product, there was a lot of ass shaking in this match.
At times I wasn’t sure if I still had the right program on or not
@@KendallCove It was a sight to see that’s forsure
Yeah was a good thing. All that was missing was Bayley's and Toni Storm (smh)'s dumptrucks
@@davyjones2032 not to mention asuka.
@@jamesvanderbeek19 Asuka got ass? I may have to check the tapes lmao. Molly Holly used to have that Bianca Belair or Rhea type booty back in the day too
Mickey James coming out to her music with that title was the best moment to me. She looked great. The sound was great. The reaction was great..
Its always funny when Mickie James comes out with the impact title because she always as to walk down holding the belt up with one hand and one leg up, must be passing some Hardcore Country Gas. Lol
The Rumble is so easy to book. Wrestler comes in, does their special moves, builds a friendship or feud, then get tossed out. Somehow in this match they all just hung on the ropes and no one got their shit in... embarrassing.
Love Mad Mad Mad World! As someone who lives in LA, it was hilarious to see the road they drove on, Pacific Coast Highway, all the way to Malibu and the area wasn’t developed at all! A stark comparison to today’s west LA!
Michelle McCool's performance in the rumble was 100 times better than 95% of the women in the match. Her explosive start to her entry was great.
Unpopular opinion but I always thought Michelle did the Styles clash better than Aj.
@@eiephants I can agree with maybe wwe aj styles but there is something different with indy AJ. Just has an extra bit of grit to it
@@The_Omega_Studio Indy AJ is doing the Styles Clash to people that are smaller than him. Those barely exist in WWE. McCool's version looks good because she's bigger than almost all the women there.
@@bigfella6898 fair point but no AJ Styles slander shall be tolerated lol.
It does boggle my mind how Michelle is still as good as she is and she retired like a decade ago.
I'd rather see Michelle McCool back full time than Rousey .
Some of the entrants were obviously well past it , with no descent skills .
I was actually thinking the same thing
Michelle actually does still look like she can go in the ring that's for sure
I always give her credit for being one of the first modern versions of a woman wrestler if you get what I mean underrated
I will say, shockingly, Alicia Fox’s work in that rumble is the best I’ve ever seen from her. Looked like she finally figured out how to use her athletic frame to maximize her success
It’s crazy that Michelle McCool hadn’t been in a wrestling ring for a decade and she’s still got it.
"Woman's Royal Rumble. 30 Women. Will probably take 45 minutes" - Jim Cornette
Honestly, between the bad finishes to the world title matches and aggravating Rumble winners, Mickie's appearance was probably the highlight of the night.
It’s like Christmas morning when I get a notification for a new video!
LIKE MUSSOLINI! And Ronda Rouseyyyyyyyy
Brian: Ronda was out there too long and it exposed her. I’d have brought her out around 28 or 29.
Ronda entered at #28.
Also I’m no fan of Ronda, but the girl had a baby like 4 months ago, and hasn’t wrestled in 2 years. Its not surprising she didnt look peak form. The year she was in she had great matches with Charlotte, Sasha, she even made Nia Jax look good.
Yeah man it's harsh people don't see that. I thought she looked good considering. Her boobies are bigger like alot of mothers shortly after giving birth but other than that looked pretty trim but not peak trim. Give her time I say she had a run of great matches last time.
I also didn't get the weak finish. When Charlotte entered the rumble, the announcers mentioned that if she won she could pick her Wrestlemania opponent. So, when it came down to her and Rousey, why didn't they play up that angle? Saying the last person Charlotte wants to face at Wrestlemania is "the baddest woman on the planet," and this her chance to do what she came here to do tonight...then they have a few really intense spots to tease how crazy the match will be if Ronda wins, and then when she does win, youve built up some anticipation.
Because long term storytelling is no longer WWE's strong suit and it was telegraphed soon as it came down to Rousey winning who she would end up challenging and thats Becky Lynch
@@CLM1987 and yet she ended up picking Charlotte.
The outlaw roadhouse barfighter was throwing those sloppy punches like it was last call
There are some things that are predictable and inevitable in wrestling: Ric Flair will spend money he doesn't have, Rey Fenix will injure himself, Nia Jax will injure someone somewhere, Lio Rush will run his mouth and retire... and Ronda Rousey is a headcase that will pout and throw a tantrum when something doesn't go her way. Her upcoming meltdown will be glorious.
Oh yes. IT'S COMING, FOLKS!
Ronda isn't even a big deal ....it's 2022
It isn't 2014/2015
She's a crybaby that went to wrestling because she got beat up too much in MMA and couldn't handle it
@@el-youtub3r402 Yeah that is why i contest Jim saying she is a star still. Her time is well past now.
Hit every nail on the head with this one
@@MrRjh63 The thing that made her a star was that she was UFC's first female star. Now they have 100 women who are more well rounded and more professional.
Baszler should have won the rumble , and Rousey should be winning the upcoming womens chamber match starting and eliminating them 1 by 1 b4 the next competitor was released from the pod
Cornette has such a hard on for Charlotte & Rhea that it's completely nauseating. The reason why the crowd was dead until Ronda showed up, is because when Charlotte appeared everyone knew the mission was to make her look more dominate than everyone else. Why do Bianca & Rhea need to double team Charlotte when both of them are much stronger than her? It also killed the crowd when Sasha was eliminated, which i'm assuming was because they didn't want her in there too long with the ankle injury still healing. The final four should've been Bianca, Rhea, Rousey, and Mickie just for the intrigue.
That sounds awful.
What an awful idea
Bianca and Rhea double teaming Charlotte isn’t a need it’s them remembering their history with Charlotte all the way to NXT and even last year’s rumble. They know they need to get her out and then they can control the match. Also the crowd came alive before Ronda with Mickie at 20
@@thelinedrive They came alive for Mickie and then died shortly after.
@@bigfella6898 It's a lot better than what actually happened.
My gf doesn’t watch wrestling much but we watched this entire match and the end of Roman’s match. She liked Melina’s entrance, Naomi and Charlotte. Her jaw dropped when the Bella twin eliminated the other one. We were both surprised when Ronda showed up. Her only complaint is that it felt obvious who was going to win after Ronda came out. She liked the diversity in the girls, so from an outside perspective I guess that’s a good thing.
Your girlfriend sounds corny
@@estebanjones5402 she must be pretty good if she sounds like Jim :)
@@deftfkaubgup4669 she probably got pretty toes too
@@estebanjones5402 At least he has one, unlike you.
@@rodycaz8984 That's right. POLYGAMY IS A SIN!!
Ivory was my favorite part of the Women's Rumble.
And Rousey's performance on RAW wasn't the best. She just looks like she does not want to be there. Can't really blame her tho.
I actually liked her promo, she seemed just business, straight to the point.
Didn’t even watch yet and the thumbnail made me laugh out loud! 😆
Been waiting for this take for a long time 😀😄😀
Ya been waiting Jimmy. You should go live after ppvs
PLE's (Premium Live Events)
Someone should tell Jim it's not really a "review" when you skip half the match.
"fans don't care about Internet gossip"
Oh Brian. ...lmao
I’m not sure we should be shaming refrigerators like that….
Thank you so much. Jim is the man!!
First full wwe show ive seen in years. So much fodder for jim.
@Dwin same here! I was surprised I watched as much. I didn’t match the Miz and Edge match tho
Usually the rumble is at least good entertainment, but these rumbles (especially the mens') were so boring and angle-free.
Bahaha I was wondering right til the last minute what the fridge in the pic was..Nia Jax..the couch 🛋 😁😆😆
I love these drawings. So funny 😆
always liked It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, but Jim has a fair point
The thing that I hated about this match was Lita looking clueless and out of place with women like Charlotte, Bianca Belair and Reah Ripley
Jim actually being nice to the Women's Royal Rumble. The Women's Royal Rumble was actually good. Had great surprises. But I do agree with Jim. WWE exposed Ronda and showed how green she is. Now I can't wait to hear him review the Men's Royal Rumble.
What? Rusty maybe but not green. Did you watch Ronda's Mania match with Kurt Angle vs HHH and Stephanie? Even her matches on Raw and other PPVs were solid Ronda is actually good in the ring. The punches certainly are bad but she also struggled with real punches in her MMA career lol.
Ronda "green"? WTF? Did you happen to miss her entire year-long run she had previously? She was one of the best workers they had. Arguably the greatest performance in a debut match in the history of the company.
@@rodycaz8984 Best workers? Buddy, gimme what you're smoking because that shit must be fire.
@@getreal2592 LOL!!!!! Watch her matches vs.:
*Steph and Triple H
*Charlotte
*Sasha
*Bayley
Plus, carried Nia to TWO decent matches.
Get a clue.
@@rodycaz8984 I said she looks green now. Not then.
Nia the antivaxxer vs Ronda the Sandy Hooker denier is a money match. 🤑
Is Rousey really a sandy hook denier?
@@thepapatootall9982 She retweeted a Sandy Hook conspiracy video saying "interesting"
Better than the mens rumble but still pretty bad.
Half the entrants were either brought back from retirement or fired.
Ronda coming back and winning did nothing for me, does she even want to be here for another year to begin with?
It's like the Brave Little Toaster. Dammit, Travis! Lmao!!!!
“It come down, Brian.” Haha.
Ronda Rousey and Nia Jax already did have a match, and it was honestly the best match that Nia Jax ever had.
I was shocked at how good that match was lol. I don’t know how those two pulled it off.
Honestly if you're competent enough it's that hard to have a decent match with bigger opponent.
I'd say her best match was with Bayley at NXT Takeover London though
Nia..
Would beat the Real Life REALITY Sh💩t out of Rhonda!
Rhonda did come in At 28 🤣🤣🥺
Rousey will be completely done with wrestling once the fans clown her again, she has the weakest will I’ve ever seen for being the baddest, sorry Ronda that is Mike Tyson’s gimmick.
It was the shits.Rhea Ripley or Shayna Baszler should've won.Heck Asuka should've returned and become the first woman to win it twice.Maybe even have Belair do it or have Piper Niven come out and win it.
Ahh I love movies, and i really enjoyed when Jim and Brian talked about It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
I was waiting for this lmao
Cornie reviews the women’s royal rumble
Proceeds to skip 90% of it
Never change cornie 😂
Yes! I've been waiting for this reaction from Jim so good!! :)
is a 1963 American comedy film produced and directed by Stanley Kramer with a story and screenplay by William Rose and Tania Rose.
The woman's rumble was one of the worst I've seen in awhile. They still haven't figured out how to properly time the women's rumble yet and it really hurts the overall match.
Nothing will top the 1st one they did. It’s as if they were all serious about it. And every rumble since has been “meh”, “eh”, “💩” 🤷♂️
Jimmy Durante was the older guy in It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad world that gave the clue in the beginning of the movie
Osceola arkansas thanks for the mention
People in the mma community are still mad at her for not acknowledging her defeats to Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes and giving them their respect. And instead chose to run away. So people will always find something to be mad at her about
For me the breaking point was her saying doing Playboy would “prostitutes her sport” and then doing nudes in Sports Illustrated. Just be honest-they coughed up the number you wanted.
I haven’t watched a full wwe show since stone cold was an active wrestler. Starting the night with reigns and rollins helped me sit through it.
Not like you’re a valued fan but okay
Wwe doesn't care about fans so don't worry
@@emanuelfer456 nobody cares about fans idk what world yoh live in where you think anybody cares about fans
@@Maxx_d13 a company or product of course has to care about its fans/users, whether its entertainment or any other field.
@@emanuelfer456 you’re an oblivious fan that believes that bs and that’s why they sell tickets
I don't understand the picture yet but can't wait to 🤣🤣🤣
The Royal Fumble.
What we’ve all been waiting for
Before listening to the video, I thought that the refrigerator with a cape was a rib to Holly Molly and Nicky ASH
Rousey was in fact #28. If she can't be out there for 10 minutes without being totally exposed, what are they doing here? Either way can we just be rid of the women's Rumble? This was an hour long and had no point to exist. Rousey could have come back on Raw and got in Becky's face, or on SD and challenged Charlotte, and it's the same exact thing and we cut the PPV down to a nice 3 hour show.
lol the thumbnail. if i remember correctly the fridge with a cape is nia jax right?
1st thought on the thumbnail was , how did I miss NIA JAX in the Rumble
We were happy to be a part of something special, her return.
Nothing about Mickie James with the impact world title and her impact theme.
He's still mad about the storyline where someone was shot on Impact. What an absolute mark he is.
And rightfully so. TNA has been irrelevant for 15 years.
The expression on Jim's face says it all.
Fun fact- This podcast was about half as long as the one for the mens rumble.
It’s all from the same podcast
@@joeylane2408 It still got about half the time when it got broke down!😂
Time to get my popcorn ready
I love It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World.
Was Mae Young in the ruumble?
Ronda vs Nia was fun at Mitb. Hint of Vader vs Shamrock
Jim, spencer tracy was the cop, jimmy durante was the guy who crashed and left the clue. It’s my father’s favorite movie.
Thank you Corny even a avid supporter of rousey before giving unbiased views and takes on his performance, so looked off in that match
Ronda is actually a very good wrestler might I dare say the best wrestler for the limited time she has been doing it. However she clearly had a lot of ring rust, not in the best shape and more importantly the rumble (type match) didn’t really let her show her strong suits. SHe is incredible at rolling and chaining submission that looking flaws. That ground type wrestling with a lot of cool reverles. I think she will have a great match with flair or whoever she faces.
Ronda and Nia Jax already had a match at Money In The Bank 2018. Maybe someone should show some of those clips to Jim, so we can get his thoughts lol
Not gonna lie Nikki trash going crazy on super holly was my favorite moment it was hilarious an unexpected
Ronda should of never came back tbh. Jim should review her cringy promo from RAW. She cannot cut a promo to save her life. Lita had to save that segment.
This rumble match was slightly underwhelming, and it was "better" than the main event. That's how weak the Royal Rumble was.
Excellent show and this was the 2nd best match on the card.
Repetition sucks.
I wonder why you felt like you'd "already watched a Royal Rumble match"?
And if you realise it's because you DID!!
Most of the women can't even reach the top rope. It's ridiculous to have women be eliminated by going over the top rope.
I think the royal rumble sucked
I saw it’s a mad mad mad world hung over on LSD with my grandparents in the mid 2000s, I always remember that movie because it was the last movie I watched with them.
Kinda sad to hear Corny doesn't like It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. I'd have thought it was right up his alley. Sure, it drags in places, but I really like that film.
I agreed on everything Jim said about the film, which I was shocked about. It definitely meandered & the ending was meh. The worst thing about the movie for me was the mother. Annoying and things that happened with her really didn't work.
Thank God santina marella didn't win 🤣
The Women's Rumble was The Rhonda Rousey Show.
Yeah, Stanley Kramer. And Jonathan WInters was in it too.
It felt so long how long was it it felt like a 4 hour High Holiday services that never ended.
A refrigerator with a cape on
11:21 🤣🤣
You know what, I didn't think Jim would have this reaction.
Very cool. I loved Rousey in the Rumble only yeah, she should have
had a great shooter spot with Baszler. That whole moment got ruined
so bad. (An English pronunciation for Brian it isn't RUNE for RUIN pal,
It's Rue-IN. Got it?)
0:26 Thats gonna be my text message alert
It's quite interesting that the two Rumble matches kind of mirrored each other, particularly in terms of what they said about their respective rosters. There are ultimately two on each that the company cares about and the rest can sit patiently and wait to see if creative have anything for them for Mania
