Cornette going off about Bischoffs money is hilarious
When Vince is put and prison and His family are also prosecuted the fall of WWE will make wcw look like a magic trick
I always liked Larry Nelson , IMO he's the voice of the AWA
Jim can be a whiny bitch a lot of the time. The shit is about the final death of WCW. This mf thinks they should talk about the period not too many people alive care about anymore
“Good looking Heyman” is a great nickname
WCW and AEW are very similar, and I feel their fates will ultimately be the same.
Ric Flair tweeted that Bischoff, Herd and Russo killed WCW and then deleted the tweet a couple days later 😛
I just watched the second episode of this series, and it made me a lot more sympathetic towards Bischoff. Dude had to deal with execs rooting against the show on top of all the wrestlers's egos and demands. Anyone would go off the rails in that environment.
I always like Tony Schiavone’s story about an executive insisting Tony put together a proposal for running the company after Watts left but Tony was so depressed he didn’t care and Eric got it instead. WCW literally told Tony they wanted him to run it.
Also, GREG GAGNE did a shoot interview with THE MASTER AND COMMANDER Jim Cornette. Greg says that he gave all of the ideas to Bishop. And Bishop screwed him over COMPLETELY! People say wrestling is fake, you can fake business in the wrestling business. Lol.
It started getting old when everybody and their dog joined the NWO.
I think this channel is behind the times and unaware for YouTube strategies. It's more lucrative to release the full podcast ASAP and then put out clips. Not wait 2 weeks to release them. Maybe release a few clips right before it comes out. They're just losing money and making it inconvenient to the consumer
I'm reading Eric's book, "Controversy Creates Cash" and he speaks nicely of Jim Herd. He says Mr. Herd was heartbroken and had tears in his eyes when he was fired. He really paints a sympathetic picture of Jim Herd.
During the last years of WCW I imagine them all saying 1-2-3 Cancun before the show starts kind of deal.
Im going to have to disagree with cornette on a couple things…. I remember watching wrestling as a kid and remember bill watts didn’t let wrestlers go outside of the ring which was like ehhhh this shit is boring …. (Just my opinion on my wrestling ). Also bill watts as you said couldn’t talk to executive of a corporation so that means he wasn’t fit for that job because like it or not … wrestling went corporate. I’m not sure as a kid I loved nitro because of all the mayhem and especially the sting storyline but it could just be me
What’s wild is Turner sold it to WWE for a steal
We should all be so lucky to never have had any financial difficulties.
Eric's television personality was like an actor playing a politician. And I loved (to hate) it.
He is polite and well spoken in perosn but he's definitely a bit of a slimebag so it worked so naturally for him, just like Jim being an obnocious rich southern boy. Art imitating life a bit. 😂
They didn't have electricity in Kentucky before 1983
Love Jim but I hate when he twists the truth to bash who he doesnt like. Everybody in wrestling was a con artist and bullshitter,Bischoff just had a look and suaveness that Turner would’ve seen in Jim Ross,Bill Watts or even Jim himself. I also have my critiques of Bischoff but acting like just because he wasnt a life long,die hard fan of wrestling made him any less successful is just nit picky and stupid.
Corny needs a special episode of "Where did all of the AWA talent go in 1991?"
No shade because I love Jim and an a long time Cult member but you let Jim Herd run you off. Jim Ross and Ric Flair left when they couldnt take it…you cant hate on Bischoff because he was a better salesman or bullshitter to get the position he got.
When sh1t stain (Russo) got rehired in 2002 by WWE, he wanted to rehash the invasion storyline with wcw guys who missed the invasion as they decided to sit out their contracts with Time Warner. Russo was let go 2 days later.
WCW screwed WCW
I never thought I’d hear Jim and Brian say Gat.
Vince McMahon wasn't "competitive." He flat out sabotaged Crockett with his indirect ban of Starrcade. Vinnie Mac deserves everything he gets and then some.
Why does Corny never bring up when he did the table for 3 show on the network with bischoff and Michael Hayes when he tells the story that he's so proud of that he almost blows his load every time he tells it about wiping the booger on Eric's car. And found out that he was the stooge being played by another stooge?
Bret Hart screwed WCW
