I remember when Batista said that he wears shades and sunglasses when doing promos to hide his fear of public speaking.
That's why Macho started doin that
This is 100% a thing. Any sort of mask can give you comfort in social situations. You see it in action a lot at comic cons
@@randyruger9063 This
wearing a mask made me much more confident during interviews
Bret Hart did the same thing.
There's a rapper named Fabolous that does the same. Stage fright CRIPPLES me. In school I would happily take a F over standing in front of the class to give a 5 minute book report. Will never forget when my English teacher called my mom and told her, "I KNOW he has done his report, he is in the library everyday but he is going to get a 0 if he doesn't complete the assignment"....she ended up giving me a 70 for doing it but man, that shit was killing me. Then after HS I wanted to make music, but I couldn't get on a stage in front of 20 people who were my friends let alone 200, 2000 people I don't know and man I hate that I could never break out of that. I love playing with cameras, doing skits, vlogs, etc, I guess because I don't have 38 people watching me try to execute. It's just me and the camera and maybe 2 to 5 other people so there's not as much pressure. I hate stage fright because I know it has crippled me from performance but I just can't shake it. I did the sunglasses thing once and even then the performance came out shaky.
Jim's a natural I've been watching him since I was 10 and 40 years later he's still great
💯 agree
Corny is a professional stage guy. It's his talent as a talker
Corny can work a stick like none other bro bro
Jim Cornette knows what we are ALL waiting for and is just Teasing … 👀
God I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!
@@Snakeman612 what is it?😂
@@gamebred2094 Cody supposedly heading to WWE. It’s gonna be gold.
Jim starting an only fans page?. Ha.
@@gamebred2094 only fans page by Jim. Ha.
I wonder how Jim would've fared if he had gotten his start in front of a crowd that was conditioned to yell "What?" all the time. I hate those people.
@Noah 1217 Smith I remember that. It was funny. It did temporarily shut them up, at least for that promo.
It's like trying to talk to grandparents. "What?"
"Speak up, Sonny"
"Is it dinner time?"
Why are some of the CZcams videos censored, when others let us listen to all the hilarious curse word rants?!
Has to be censored in the first two minutes or so or else the video gets demonetized
@@kreepinmcstabby ah ok thanks!
Not everyone can be a natural like Jumpin Jeff Farmer
YIP. Hardest promo ever had in his life....
You got me.
Mad now.
That Eaton story reminds of that all-time Owen Hart flub. "I KICKED YOUR LEG OUT FROM UNDER YOUR...leg."
I hate to say it because I'm a huge fan, but Bobby Lashley suffers from stage fright. His promo last Monday, (when lesnar took the selfie w Theory), he stumbled a lot on the mic.
i noticed, not sure if it was stage fright but it wasn’t smooth
I can’t even remember what Bobby Eaton sounded like, come to think of it. lol
"NO!" I believe Jim. I think Jim could do a 1 man show off broadway.
I saw him do a one-man show in Detroit a few years back. Bruce was sitting beside him but it was a one-man show. Heeeeey-Ohhhhhh. [RIM SHOT!]
Saw Corny put the blade in his jacket pocket after the paul e promo
Cornette was such an incredible performer, it's hard to imagine he would be nervous.
I don't think it's that hard to imagine. Incredible performer or not, most people do get stage fright the first one or two times they perform.
Jim’s character at the time was a so ‘wet behind the ears you need to mop the interview area afterwards’ manager wannabe. His nervousness actually helped to portray that.
Gimmick, not character
There's no "Statford" in Ontario but there is a Stratford.
It took until 1981 to count the votes for best wrestler of the previous decade? Yikes...
Must've been a lot of 5 ⭐ matches
Well, there were runoffs and recounts and audits.... You have to take these things seriously.
Trump was sulking claiming he really won
midnight lopsided ballot dumps had to be counted
the better question is did he have a heart attack or heart scare when cutting promos? lol
He did bust a blood vessel in his nose during a promo in SMW
My dad and his buddies for years have claimed Paul Jones used to forget his lines during promos but I've never found any evidence of this nor have I heard anyone that was in wrestling at the time attest to this idea either.
I would be a horrible promo. I couldn't get up and speak in front of a classroom.
great question thanks to the mouse curser-goes to show the great questions Brian breezes past to get to his inevitable "Hey Jim, we've had lots of questions about this, let's shit on Hulk Hogan!".
Jim got lead though the nose by Banana Nose
Lance Russell on the CZcams art, 🙌🏾
Lance Russell i was wondering about tbt pic thoght it was pedicino
Anything that links back to the midnight vs midnight fascinates me
It’s different story when you go from small town arena, to a giant indoor arena in a big city, that’s a lot of people and you can feel the electricity in the air! You don’t get that so much in a small place with far fewer people. I’m sure it easy to flub something up under pressure!
It should be "Stratford" Ontario. I've been there a few times, and it's known for its theatre, so that's probably why this person asked.
I've had a terrible fear of public speaking since I was a kid. Just being looked at could turn my face red. I just suddenly got past it in my first year in the military. Now I host d&d games for strangers at my gaming store
Yeah I remember as a kid getting up in front of the class to talk about something. Was the worst. I would get so nervous it was like I was on autopilot..not even knowing what I was saying but yet I was talking. lol.
"How nervous do you think Paul E was?"
Not at all, sociopaths don't get nervous
Jim Cornette on Ranking Sargent Slaughter
Kind of a dumb question. Asking Corny if he gets stage fright is like asking Ted Williams if he gets nervous while hitting.
I'd give anything to see a picturesque Corney elbow drop just one more time 😂
Kallisto, who can't stop thinking about Baron Corbin and makes good lucha things.
Cody Cody Cody!
If it was gonna be a big angle , id rather juice too much than barely a squiggle of color ! Your fart in church reference comes to mind heh !
TBH I think Cornette's nervousness in that first promo actually fit in with his gimmick at the time.
my last bass player had stage fright - he just could not get out there - so i had to play bass and do vocals at the same time - first time we played as a power trio in 15 years.
Cornette isn't infallible, but he was made for promos. Some guys just ramble, and it's a thing. Herc Hernandez wasn't the Rock, or Paul Roma, two guys who were fun in the ring but stunk up a promo.
Hercules would eat Paul Romo for breakfast
@@yoholmes273 or team as Power and Glory.
It would be awesome to hear some fresh Bobby Eaton stories...I'll bet Corney remembered some he had forgotten in these last few months...We all could be a little more Bobby Eaton and a little less Jimmy Garvin...
Yung corn
TGBL: Question not from Charlie Starkey, ergo bad
i always get stage fright
Kid Mysterio
Is Jim aware he's got the greatest standing elbow drop of all time tho

I refuse to listen to this edited crap! Bleeping the cuss words, no beeping on Jim genuine pod casts. I'm out of here.
