I dont think Jim Cornette knows how documenting history works
BRO,
@4:15 The Personality I'd Really Tuned in to see at the End(2000-2001) was "The Big Booty Daddy""Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner and His Genetic Freaks.Vince Russo AOL/Time Wanrer/WCW Dropped The Ball on Scott Steiner had White Hot Heat.Think of Brock Lesner,Stone Cold,Kurt Angle,Superstar Billy Graham all rolled into One.Would've been Awesome as a Tony Soprano type Heel😍💚😠💔👍
corny is entertaining but he comes across as jealous of bischoff, who totally changed the way television wrestling is done, for the better. also, guy evans did his due diligence researching the material in his book.
I was already excited about seeing Duckman but I just now realized what shirt he’s wearing
Goldberg is the biggest meatball and anyone who ever liked him is a plugger.
Travis continues to hit my childhood bull's-eye like the green arrow. First The Tick…now Duckman?
Interesting they use don't use Alveraz as the talking author head. He wrote a book on WCW's demise as well.
And where's Dave? I guess word gets out about how you're a full of TK's BS (or money..who knows?) and you're no longer what you use to be.
I think you referred to it often as "Father Time has past (so and so) by" when crapping on wrestlers' past their prime. What about Dave?
He's clearly not the go to anymore. Father time past him by. He knows it, he's jealous there's a younger generation that actually studied business and other sports before delving into wrestling. Not some teen hanging around locker rooms and parking lots on Friday nights trying to talk to guys.
In fairness to Russo, he wasn't referring to Nash. Hogan, Flair and the other elite guys when he made his "…80%…" remark!
Bro
I was just confused (even back then) why everybody feels that David Arquette was this big star…
Brian growing a hatred for Russo is the funniest thing to watch develop over the past few years, it’s even funnier considering they’ve never met it’s just watching this creature function makes you hate it more
37:17 – 37:21 😂😂😂😂😂
For those who think russo killed wcw you're delusional. Those contracts,the fact the executives didnt care for wrestling,and eric bichoff killed wcw. Come to think of it Russo did have a little hand in ending wcw when he worked for wwf🤣
45:09 – 45:20 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cornette just couldn't stand the attitude era and lets be honest russo was very successful with the attitude era. Not saying russo did it all himself but at the end of the day numbers dont lie and that era was the most watched era in the history of wrestling. Had McMahon stuck with cornette and the old ways over russo and the attitude era we might be talking about the death of wwf
I love that Jim is finally vindicated by this series and has not been overreacting or needlessly holding a petty grudge. Russo is actually the worst, still, why are you like this-is it a Long Island thing?
57:02…
"Who's They?!?"
– Palpatine –
(RobotChicken)😜
Idk why the hate on Bischoff. Dude has made very good coin and has had wonderful success for 25+ years in the business. Eric never once said he was a fan as a kid or a historian. I’d take Eric’s career over Russo’s any day.
Gimmick bro 4 life!
I for one would love to see the Rolling Stones do Hamlet mid show, especially at their current ages
Episode 3: "Bro the Vince Russo show.
This thumbnail is like a fever dream.
On the ratings. It was also in part because he axed the first hour of Nitro. But then didn't compensate it with higher ratings in the other 2. So yeah his actual work did nothing even at the start.
vince russo turned mike awesome into that 70s guy, i just cant get over it
Go on Jim 👊🏻💥
Duckman was awesome
A duckman callback? I gotta know.
English is not my first language.. but I don’t think I ever listened to somebody(in any language) who sounds more annoying to me than Vince Russo..it’s brutal…
41:00
What a shame 😮💨
Hate to be the PC police but it’s pretty much an open fact that Kevin Sullivan beat on Nancy, zero need for him to have been a talking head here
Jim has soften in his older years. Not that he hates him any less or doesn't verbally obliterate him. Just that he's a lot less crazy about it.
Cornette with the Bernie taupin analogy is next level
Russo and Bischoff trying to make people believe Billy Kidman was a credible opponent for Hulk Hogan will always be funny to me.
Cornets talks about Russo stabbing people in the back
When cornette was back stabbing constantly asking people why they hired Russo.
Russo is a clown but Cornette also takes wrestling way too seriously. Wrestling is a joke, it’s supposed to be funny.
Duckman!
In all fairness, Jim had his own promotion go bankrupt and he has been fired from most the places he had worked. It all depends on how you look at it 😂
Cornette is too butthurt over Russo.
Take a shot of whiskey everytime s#$tstain says "bro."
Nothing is more infuriating than a man who is delusional and believes his own lies as an absolute truth
Especially if he is a extremely slow talker and says bro every other word
Imagine being in a room with that all day fucking torture 😆
Jim fitting in bros every once in a while makes me laugh so hard.
Vince Russo ruined everything he touches. He can’t get STD’s cause they refuse to go into his body.
Russo didn’t respect wrestling, the wrestlers, or the fans.
Jim’s takes are normally miserable but I fully agree. I was very young but I remember seeing Arquette win flipping from wwf and thought wcw was officially a joke. I was one of the few who changed over to raw when schiavone announced mick foley would win and never came back. Was sad to think about looking back bc before all I knew of wrestling was wcw until that point and I was a huge little wolfpack mark. Glad AEW is usually the best parts of wcw now with their own tinge.
