full gear: 13:15
1:56 We need a compilation video/audio/deep dive of Corny yelling at telemarketers interrupting the podcast 😂😂
Am I the only person who prefers listening to the whole episode
I love the whole episodes. I’ve been doing plumbing, painting and window repair in my bathroom and it’s so enjoyable to listen as I work.
no
Do they release clips on CZcams before the actual episode? 🤔 when I listen to whole episodes it feels like I've already heard half of the content due to the clips I've already stumbled over.
@@moodammitmoo Yeah, they do it ass-backwards.
I listen to the actual podcast on player fm there is content that gets cut on CZcams.
I catch myself singing the Steven P New jingle often. Fantastic stuff.
Eddie Kingston looks like the guy making pizzas at a pizza parlor yelling at you, that it will take 5 minutes for your slice! Next in line!
I've always said he looks like he should be working in the electronics department at Wal-Mart, but sells stolen DVD players out the back door from his underglow Honda on his lunch break, while smoking clove cigarettes and drinking Monster energy drinks.
@@pazuzuritter3987 lol he would be like I got the new Spider-Man movie
, two for 5 dollars come on! I’m throwing in candy too!
Jim Cornette: "Someway or another i can counteract the negative influence that Russo will have on the product by being so good on the other side as a positive influence that we will balance each other out"
Matt Striker: "And ?"
Jim Cornette: Well"
Matt Striker; "Did that happen ?"
Jim Cornette: "No"
His name is Brian Last
51:28 Holy Fuck, I haven't heard of Ripple since the last time I watched an old episode of Sanford & Son.
That was my Grandfather's second favorite show after pro wrestling.
Yea, don't climb the ropes if you don't have the agility to make it look smooth. Steiners are the exception.
If we go by Jim's logic on submission holds, then Charlotte and Britt Baker both need new finishers. Neither of them are shooters working a body part to get to the finish. Charlotte just copies her dad and hits a chop block at some point, then locks in the "most dangerous figure four in the history of everything."
C'mon.. How many of you grew up disliking Jim Cornette? I never thought I would enjoy and actually look forward to a Jim Cornette video.
I was at this show live. It was the greatest wrestling show I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been to quite a few. Amazing atmosphere. We all just had so much FUN.
I love the part when he says how do you turn Danielson heel ummm idk let me kick the shit and beat all the dark order hahah love it. Danielson is amazing
I do have to agree with Jim on Pac doing the Black Arrow - it takes him 25 minutes to get set so it looks off. Back in the 80s, Macho Man would get up the ropes, double finger point, and leap for the elbow in what seemed like 5 seconds total.
PAC still wrestles as his old indie self back when he was like 20 kgs lighter... Ive been watching him for almost a decade and although he has toned down his high flying in favor of his mat game and striking, he could be even more grounded. He is just THAT good. If AEW was any smart theyd make him the leader of a 5 person stable alongside a decent tag team, an up-and-coming future world champion and a woman.
@@Ramekink is this a joke or ?
@@elizabethmccleary7331 not an argument, next pleaseeee
I hope that Jim comments on Punk saying, Soloooo Agogooooo Camaratoooo, on Rampage.
43:01 - I have heard talk that the finish was dictated by AAA because they wanted their tag champs to have an out.
I think what's been lost is that lower card matches used to be won with moves like a sunset flip or a powerslam. The great thing about that was that you could buy them as false finishes in main events.
Now, since everyone wins with their finish, it makes the main eventers' job much harder. The match is just a way to kill time until they start hitting finishers.
Don't say "i think" because you're spot on there. Well said. You KNOW
Dax got rocked in the tag-match and was loopy so Cash got in there and worked most of the finish.
And when Cash ran in on PAC, Dax was getting his brain examined for lucha-botch-concussion.
Don't confuse signature offence with finishers. when William Regal came to wcw from world of sport he did not have a finisher because he wrestled in a rounds system. In a round based contest you can't beat the opponent with the same move 3 out of 7 rounds. It would kill the interest in the match
The Star Ratings from Dave Meltzer in Full Gear:
+Hikaru Shida and Thunder Rosa vs Jamie Hayter and Nyla Rose - 2.5
+Darby Allin vs MJF - 4.5
+CM Punk vs Eddie Kingston - 4.5
+Bryan Danielson vs Miro - 4.5
+Jurassic Express and Christian Cage vs Adam Cole, Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson - 5
+Cody Rhodes and Pac vs Malakai Black and Andrade El Idolo - 4
+Britt Baker vs Tay Conti - 3.5
+Inner Circle vs American Top Team and Men of the Year - 4
+Lucha Bros vs FTR - 4.25
+Kenny Omega vs. “Hangman” Adam Page - 5.5
The bias for uncle Dave is bad. The best match on the card is 4.5 while the matches with Dave’s favorite wrestlers get 5 and 5.5. It’s crazy
@@jwolf2254 all 3 of the objectively best matches with the best talent all got 4.5… seems sus
@@unknowniam121 he's on their nuts.
Ugh ppl that do long comments I swear annoying
Murder Hawk is a great heel
Or can be
Amazing Podcast Travis Heckel is the best artist for Jim Cornette! This is so amazing!
I like the other articles where great also
As commentary teams go I might be crazy but after we watching early 96 wcw I really enjoyed Heenan bichoff and mongo
The first electric bread toaster was invented by Alan MacMasters in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1893.
Brian (to Jim): Well, you've stolen so much from Heenan, why stop now?
Jim need time stamps on his shows
Figures that when Jim says it makes no sense for Page to be champion that AEW actually does it. Here's hoping Page actually gets a proper run.
It would be a crime if AEW makes him a short term transitional champion.
AEW also couldn’t keep the belt on a 55% Kenny Omega and weren’t ready to put the belt on Danielson
@@craziyayaa6505 you’re out of your mind if you think they are going to have a champion, they just spent two years telling the story of, drop the belt on his first defense. Bryan can lose and still be Bryan so there is no way they take the belt off Hangman right away.
Brian will get the belt from Page dirty and lose it to Punk clean. Then Punk will turn heel, then he'll drop it to Page.
'Fuck Twinkle-Toes' totally works as a chat. Just need to have the right rhythm! XD
I really feel bad that Danhousen got hurt at the wrong time. AEW is not gonna pick him up with that leg
good
@Bruce White naw, common man. It sucks to see some one get hurt right before a huge opportunity comes up. If they wouldn't take him because of professional reasons that's one thing, but because of a fluke accident..that sucks.
@@Bipolarama sucks the guy got hurt but he has the unfunniest gimmick ive ever seen
Goddammit! Best ending to a Drive thru yet! I was laughing my ass off at that!
Corny is such good shit!!! People in the comments as well as the podcast are right about Meltzers rating being watered down, but what we need is a competitor thank can actually rate unbiased match results. Jim probably is too old school but if he could come around to twinkle toes and the bucks being one of the best out , he could have the most respected opinion. Which I already see Jim as one of the best commentators on the buisness ever.
When he gave that Omega/Okada match at WK 11 everything started going to shit. Not because the match wasnt good but because he broke his own system. He couldve savaged his reputation by doing what most game devs do when an expansion pack comes out: Level scaling.
He shouldve gone ALL the way back to the first 5 star match when WON was established, Dynamite kid vs Tiger mask, and start re-rating everything from then.
I really like New Japan while AEW doesn't really click with me the same way, and I have a theory for why. New Japan is clearly booked over the long term and gives their huge moments focus, and time to breathe. Like it's booked from the philosophy the NWA stuff Gedo loves, to be a long term sustainable promotion. Like they had their roster poached by WWE for years, and Gedo was easily able to slot new guys into the main event.
AEW feels like it's booked with the philosophy the Monday Night Wars had. Trying to top itself, and that's not sustainable. Like I think about that show where Adam Cole, Bryan Danielson and Ruby Soho all premered at the same time. It made that show feel gigantic, but the fans know they're coming and you could pull in more casual fans to your tv show drip feeding and building up excitement. It felt like blowing their load on top of minimizing Adam Cole and Ruby Soho, just by Bryan Danielson showing up. Like you should promote them each as big stars, and it just felt like a wasted opportunity.
What about the build to Hangman's title win? They built that over years.
Or the MJF vs Jericho feud which included weeks of the 'Labors of Jericho'.
Also even though you have some valid points, in my opinion, AEW has more sustainable long-term storytelling than modern day WWE does with their hotshotting of talents for a month or so before burying them in obscurity etc
Oh and I love how they've booked Danielson, even without him leading the YES chants. In every match he has won with a different finish!
...but yes Ruby and Adam Cole ermmm yeah can't defend that lol
Believe it or not, water skis were indeed invented in Minnesota
From now on I'm callling the RKO, The Randy Cutter.
@OfficialJimCornette My girlfriend just started watching you, and she loves your videos so much. She thinks you (Jim) and Brian are fucking hilarious. Your amazingly uniquely scorching quippage and ability to tell detailed and factually reliable stories about wrestling history has piqued her interest in the sport and history of wrestling. You have created a new fan in her, and that's awesome.
A like for quippage!
At 10:36 you can feel "THAT BITCH!"
A toaster may have been invented in Minnesota. THE toaster was invented in the capital of Scotland. The electric toaster. Non electric toasting methods are probably as old as bread itself.
That one guy he was talking about that fought Freddy Kingston......his name is PM Junk or something like that. He used to fight for WWF.
I took my girlfriend to this show for her birthday as a gag, but she loved it. 6th row $300 a piece, floor seats are worth it. Miro vs Danielson was my favorite of the night.
I feel like Jericho doesn't realize he's in the twilight stage. We all know he's fat and rich, but I wonder if he recognizes that. I assume he gets drunk on those cruises and hears fans say "I love you man, love you so much. My childhood, my childhood!" And he thinks that means "I like you in your current form, keep going." The guy saying that is just happy he finally got to meet Jericho and is starstruck. It's Jericho's job to know what that truly means, but he doesn't, seemingly. I hate wrestling and I hate the business. It creates morons. On both sides. Yet here I am commenting on it. Who cares. Fuck it.
Jericho >>>> Your entire life 🤣
@@jeffmac9642 Your comment made you cry laugh and tilt your head? My life >>>> your's & Canada.
Did you just type out an argument WITH YOURSELF?
@@thomass789 sure, why not, Tommy? Now, break time's over.
@@ChuckTreble Says the guy arguing with himself, on a public message board.
Ahh bedtime listening.
Earl Skalel would be a great guest for the podcast talking about the Iron Shiek Roast Rumble, his podcast with Piper, or the time he met the Ultimate Warrior. Earl is awesome!
2:30:31 - "The last thing we want is to be around any trim." Brought to you by Men of Wrestling.
The Cody turn is like the Rougeau Brothers turn. I think the point is he won’t overtly turn heel, he is doing things to make the fans hate him but while playing a ‘face’. He’s Hollywood, you should love him, etc. That’s the role he’s playing. I saw it this way from the start, I’m surprised Jim and Brian don’t see this.
Youre giving them too much credit. He was just that big of a narcissistic and pretentious asshole to begin with.
Taz went from sawed off monster heel to cuddly Muppet and I'm happy for him
According to Jim , Hawk once whispered to Dennis Condrey that the warriors were not going for the agreed finish. Whatever happened to that? Tell someone like pockets your not selling his signature offense because it looks stupid
This PPV was awesome no doubt about that
I love how Punk referenced Corny
How?
@@cwrisgood On the last "Rampage" episode, he said, "COMOROTO, SOLOW, OGOGO!" in a deep voice just like Cornette does. I've been told this may also be a reference to a Homicide impression he did in a shoot interview next to Samoa Joe years ago.
@@steveboston7519 it sure sounded exactly like Corny does it.
12:53 Brian's epic burial of Cornette: "Well you have stolen so much from Heenan, why stop now?"
30:46 In hindsight Adam Page as Champion wouldve been SO MUCH BETTER for everybody involved. Omega wouldve had time off to heal and treat his injuries. The Bucks wouldnt have devolved into completely idiots. We wouldve gotten a Mox vs Page program and multiple matchups that couldve elevated both the wrestlers involved AND the title. Hangman as the belt collector as a tweener badass couldve been great as well.
Awesome content about Michael Cole an Kevin Dunn! LOL,WOO!
just starting this. hoping booker t, titus o’neil or ‘the ratings bonanza’ david otunga get mentioned
"It sure Grinds my Gears" - Jim Cornette
That's an old saying....
Reminds me if family guy
It's from family guy
@@jasonswift5675 it's not From Family guy only but yes family guy definitely had Peter hosting a show called Grinds my gears.
A Omnibus of Corny Sings is all I want.
This is a perfect listen while I work at home today. :-D
Yes a ford Aerostar mini van. Early 90s.
I think BC may have mentioned it is a sort of pecking order If you have wrestled with the Bucks Omega and others in the indies Japan or wherever you get the most title shots If not you are screwed He says it is basically the reverse WWE
Been waiting on this one 💪🏽
Dax stayed under the ring because he got concussed or injured during the match. So the finish was supposed to be disputed, blah, blah, blah... But it wasn't because of the injury to Dax.
I was getting tired around the street fight match so I set a 20 min timer to take a nap. I woke up and it was still on... so I just went to sleep and watched the main event the next day
Heenan show had 2 episodes before cancellation
1970's 80's wrestling mentality: If you didn't get stabbed, you didn't have heat!
i like listening to his opinions even if they differ from mine, but honestly, it seems like jim seriously has blinkered views when it comes to omega and the bucks, pretty much everyone ive seen pr read loved the ending of omega vs page (i did to) because of the nuances of the bucks, like, these guys were friends, the bucks fell out with page because page cost them, but he only did that because they had stopped being as friendly while ftr were playing minds games with page, so now that page apologised and explained his head space at the time, they wont attack him, they basically said they accept his apology, they arent going to get between their friends fight
Exactly
Thank you Jim and Brian,, Saturday mornings haven't been this good since they took cartoons off
SOLLLOOOO COMMMORROOOTOOO AAAAGGOOOOOOggGOOOOOOO
Actually excited to hear Jim pop for that
Saying Omega might work on games isn't that big of a stretch, given that his finishing move is named after a song in FFVII.
At this point I’m just tuning in to hear him rip on Twinkletoes and the bucks.
Nowadays they can't show the Terry Funk promo when he slaps the shit outta his horse.
Hello, fellow Cult of Cornette members 👋🏾
".... Yea....ya take me where I..."
Well let's call it an ace crusher...cuz that's what that move is. Jim can't see the forest cuz all these trees are in the way
Blazing Saddles, I'm so tired lolz.
this was a legendary kevin dunn rant
"Litch Rittle" hahaha
I blame Oprah for making studio audiences feel like their opinions are as important as the show on stage.
Now they have to do WWE Survivor Series next I can't wait to see CM Punk vs MJF that is going to be a possible match of the year candidate
Billy Jack left WWF the first time in 1984 or 85, due to his Father having health issues. I don't think he worked any matches at that time for WWF tho.
2:50:30 - Didn't Vince do the same thing to Linda? Maybe they were trying to copy this angle?
Excellent PPV, especially the opener and the Main Event.
I think "downward slide" after the 1st match is a ridiculous statement.
Hello again friends
Truth Martini should be all elite
1:57:53🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂☠
Cody should call it the code cut lol
I dont agree with everything Jim thinks, but he does make a lot of logical points. While AEW is giving a good alternative to WWE and giving fans some good quality matches their biggest problem is small details things he talks about in this podcast that stops certain things from making sense and the biggest one for me is lack of storytelling which is a simple solution if you hire a good booker and writer instead of any of the wrestlers or Khan writing it.
I think the Cody thing is a very slow work and he will be heel or he is creating a new persona for himself that will never turn heel but will work as one
The iconic spectrum origin story.
FINALLY! been waiting for this for a week and a half!
playing witcher 3 and hearing if Corney and i are on the same page about the ppv so i dont have to watch for a while :P
Lambert, Lambert - What a prick
bbq cheezeburger macaroni break.
seems like im on the same park. though... if they keep improving at this rate i may actually care enough to watch now and then... is that crazy?
AEW is great now. You're missing out by not watching IMO
@@Deanof316. i watched a few... saw Punk turn heel. saw Brian work like he was suddenly from the 50s. seeing a lot of early WCW going on. I'm liking it.
seeing dark order, ftr are the job crew with nostalgia feel good. seeing wrestlers going out and expecting a reaction and posing for it with out the audience giving it to them. and I take a break now and then. if jimm says something amazing happend ill watch that episode and decide further.
if aew was a lady. I'm not calling her. but if we bump into each other and are both hungry, we can go for a date and if she doesnt misbehave we can set a time for another visit... but no. she cant leave her toothbrush at my place.
Four pillars of wwe attitude era- Steve Austin, rock, triple h, undertaker.
Honestly I'd put mankind instead of Taker
@@gagato92 4’s not enough should be a 5 or 6 pillar
1:57:43 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Any chant based on nanny nanny boo boo is a testament to how juvenile and annoying the modern marks are.Can't go to a live event without nursery rhyme crowd participation
2:13:41 😂😂
Paul Wight is pretty good on commentary on Dark... reminds me of Gorilla Monsoon.
Blazing Saddles!
About the street fight. They don't care about how it looks on sports show if they host laugh at that. All they cared about was Jericho winning his "feud" over Cornette.
@10:35 😂
Hey Brian, how many times do you have to apologize to your sponsors?
Britt vs Tay Conti was sloppy and slow, yet Brian Last will never say anything negative against Britt. Britt Baker is all promo and nothing else, but for some reason Jim & Brian give her a pass.
Because she's the only woman who can cut a promo. Thunder Rosa is the exception. They both love her.
Jim gets a torrent of a ppv hell yeah
And how many fucking times is going to tell the earl skankel fucking story this is like the 80th time
MJF is a star man. Got super hyped up for Lethal. The tag matches were wack. The women's title match was good. Say what you will about Omega but that was an excellent main event.
Does…… does Jim think the lyrics “cult of personality” are “you take me where I wanna be”??
Because I kinda think he does.
Like Mussolini and Mondegreen
Like Joseph Stalin, and Seth Rollins!
What really bothers me about wrestling post-Sports entertainment is how seemingly arbitrary the IWC's reactions are towards some wrestlers' or promotions' in regard or certain comments or actions. It's that obvious bias against the perceived enemy what completely destroys any type of objective comment even when is a good one.
Lonesome Cowboy Page, speakin' atcha....
