Jim Cornette on AEW's New Rules & Restrictions For Talent 

Lol

You think The Machine is really on the juice? I was wondering..

😂 he's natty bro

@@_meangreenjersey973 just like The Rock! Never took so much as an aspirin, i bet :p

Or any big wrestler for that matter.

Moxley was bleeding while reading the rule

Doubt it. He'll probably get permission. He is a favourite.

No Moxley has written permission to bleed; written in his own blood.

Isn’t that the only move he knows though?

Dont give us Hope

Agreed. Joe power slamming Roddy in the chair seemed like a huge deal!

@@Nediablo right. You get desensitized to it if it's constant

Did you watch Collision? A top-rope superplex in the FTR vs. BC Gold match made the entire arena jump out of their seats. Sometimes, less is more.

@@notgonnapay i did, and it was great.

I think it might be too little to late for AEW

I read "because they are immature". I guess both works

​@@RelifordAgree! Immune of punishment and Immature to follow rules. That Blood and Guts match will send this list of rules go straight to hell and will be a big "Fuck You" to the network and their Medical Team.

Donate "DUMMY" Martin anyone??

No more spike piledrivers from the apron? How will they keep getting all the no name indie scrubs that their fanbase demands?

​@@Goosemcqueenoh no they might have to learn how to do a collar and elbow tie up 😂

​@@megsleydon't forget how to do a drop toe hold

Everyone still cheers the ECW days, or crazy Foley bumps, nobody actually cares about people, they just want to be entertained.

That's not dope!

He still will. I'm sure the "rules" only apply to some of them.

His "that time of the month" is the entire month. He will bleed for sure

Last night's Dynamite seemed like a big FU to whoever thought up and is trying to implement these rules. That or this was some weird last hooray for the extreme era. That main event looked like a G.G. Allin show.

​@@rl318blood and guts? That match was great

@@Dooodeeeeaintfreee That match was such a mess two of the participants walked out. It was overbooked, late '90s backyard wrestling, so it was good if you like that sort of thing.

@@Dooodeeeeaintfreee it wasn’t though

No lawsuits

Stop parroting Corny and talk and think like yourself. Agreed they took far too long, but better late than never

Good, the young talent will stop going to the usless EVPS and Moxley and instead go to Punk and ask him how to put an actual match on.

@@NYC_Goody The cries of an angry AEW snowflake.

I doubt these will be enforced for long or for everyone on the roster equally.

And have been smacked with chairs on the way.

I read that in Cornys voice

Or after the barn burned down.

Like in Rocky 4

​@@Gothy420That's dope😅

I can imagine now Brian saying this in moxley voice

@unknownsample4801 when I typed it, I heard Brian's Moxley impression

@@alphatoddio rocky 5

That's what it sounds like to me as well. This is Discovery's business Q1, so probably laid down some new rules/'suggestions'.

Agree 100% This is just like when you're at work and something happens to an employee or a customer to potentially get someone in trouble, then the next day you go to work, there's a meeting with new rules in place.

Absolutely what I was thinking when I read the list earlier. Someone's fearing a lawsuit!

I bet they have a lawsuit going on right now that's not been publicly disclosed which would not surprise me. This list sounds like "settlement terms".

@@chloeirnes Maybe they've already had to settle one, or a few.

Couldn't agree more. Most likely Mox will be the first one cause it seems TK is scared of that crackhead

If i had to guess, its sting jumping off shit that made them put this in place

Trick question, no one doea. Not his world champion bising his time to leave with the company belt, nor the guy he pays the most who just csme back because he saw how much a gutless weasel he is, and not tue EVPs who been bleeding hom dry

too bad it took Year 4 to get there.

No one. And he won't do a damn thing about it either.

I'd be genuinely surprised if this idea is to give agents power, this shit seems more like an insurance policy.

I have a feeling there won't be any consequences unless Discovery steps in. This is just for them negotiating the TV deal. Once that blows over, they'll go right back to it rather than lose their fans. To actually change requires the TV/advertisers to step in like USA network did with the attitude era.

@@gjfwang didnt advertisers or the network one. Step in after some kinda "pizza cutter." Incident as well?

Problem is, this should have been the norm from the start, not 4 years later

​@@gjfwangthe rules were put in place before someone died.

I have a strong hunch that the Collision booking assistance crew is Punk, Ace Steel, Samoa Joe, Bryan, double J, with shepherding from JR & someone NJPW USA. Maybe even Billy Gunn chimes in. He seems to be keeping the Acclaimed from doing extra dumb things.

What's WBD?

@@S_EvenwarWarner Bros/Discovery

They know Tony can't say no to the wrestler, so WBD interfere and do it FOR him

AEW needs to get rid of the Bike Rack Crowd Barriers and switch to the padded version WWE uses.

waynecolvard3804: So who is their Joe "Batman" Clark" as in the Morgan Freeman Biopic about an inner city School Principal? Potentially speaking, that is.🤔😉😏🎤👨‍🎓⚾️B.W.

@@madbrowniac7871 yes. AEW Middle needs a man like that. All Principal Khan probably says to the kiddies is "hi guys" and "thanks guys".

and that's how you lose you're freedoms folks. Goes from "stop stealing gum" to the products/services need to be completely taken off the shelf.

@@Reliford what lmao

No offence but aint it time aew moved on from the daredevil high risk exhibition moves. So is Tk finally learning he cant have some wrestlers out for 6 to 12 months injured its bad for business

Almost as if , if they knew how to wrestle and were credible ....they wouldn't need to do such stupid high risk shite.

Case and point; FTR vs Bullet Club Gold on Collision this week. They went for 58 minutes and as far as I can remember there wasn't a single needlessly dangerous spot or piece of furniture used, nor did anyone bleed.

@@syko2695 yeah but FTR or bullet club are high risk or high flyers dax is the only one remotely high risk if jumping of the top turnbuckle for splashes, leg drops or suplexes he aint doing 450s or the crash n burn stuff sammy does The high risk taker wrestler just has to wrestler more smarter than take the acrobatic stuff to limit and botch it.

@@1kizhun Uh, that was exactly my point, but thanks anyways

Those upset are the kinds of fans hoping someone gets hurt because they still half believe it's real and that would add to the realism. You know the idiots that think Moxley bleeding in every match is kewl.

@@toddtaylor6506 you're probably right.

No....I don't like it not because I want people to get hurt. But it feels like everything thst made aew different in a good way is being stripped away. Part of the allure of aew was doing the things wwe are too scared to do. This list is more strict than wwe. I have no issue with safety and toning down a few things but I don't want a situation when tna tried to be great value wwe. And I don't want WBD interfering to a level where you don't recognize the show anymore. Its a slippery slope especially when you got a potential billion dollar deal looming but I've been watching how wbd moves and zavlav is a moron and I don't want him ruining aew like he's doing with DC That's my issue. If I didn't care about people getting hurt I'd be advocating for unprotected chair shots.

@@madddoggnogood1491 I hear what you're saying but isn't everything on the list things that would be unsafe?

@@InfectiousGroovePodcast anything in wrestling can be unsafe even when you do it properly. Look at Danielson he got hurt from a top rope elbow drop from Okada. Two of the best who know what they're doing and he got hurt from a basic move. Like I said I don't mind toning down certain things and nothing is being banned really they just need to tell people b4 it happens. But this seems way too familiar to how AOL got involved with wcw and how bischoff ruined tna cause essentially this thier attempt to cater to a "mainstream audience ". Since wcw and ecw closed Whenever a new company gets to a certain level the powers that be whether it's a TV company or management itself begins the WWEfacation of the product and in the process the company loses the identity of why people loved it to begin with. No one wants these wrestlers to get hurt. I hate that narrative The wrestlers are the ones who want to do that dangerous stuff. I'm not advocating Moxley blading every match or Sammy Guevara thinking he's Spiderman jumping off the statute of liberty. But like I said I like aew because at timed it is raw and rough around the edges and not so polished and pristine looking. The wrestlers for better or worse are allowed to be themselves. And I dint want that to go away judt for the sake of being thinking this will make wbd happy

Then the sponsor and WBD would tell Tony, either they stop or all the show gone. Tony WOULD be forced to offend his friend or gone from WBD and TNT

They fired that moron from Taco Bell. Hilarious.

Wait, what is it called?

@@andrefromelpasotexas3236look up “Cornette Indiana Blood” and it’s the first video, about the garbage wrestling health scare.

I’m pretty sure that they no longer operate in Indiana anymore

With all the concerns about hepatitis and Aids, I really can't believe that any halfway serious wrestling promotion even allows deliberate blading. Obviously intentional bleeding is just disgusting carny BS anyway, but given our knowledge of basic health and sanitation it really shouldn't be allowed.

He can play Lance Von Anoai?

Booker of the year

Dudes the most clueless unaware pos booker and owner ever.

​@@Immortalangel14I literally come here to say that 😂

Damn.. it's been 4 years already

@@lasselippert3892 technically it's been five because the first pay-per-view was in 2018

or trading chops...every AEW match they trade chops...its boring now

Agent: "Stop finger poking eachother and try throwing an actual punch!" AEW roster: "We ARE throwing punches!"

@@johngotti489 Maybe Gunther should go to AEW too.

Well judging by the average size of the aew guys that would be an effective move.

Oh please... get some tougher skin🙄

They aren't going to enforce any of that crap. They even had "no sprays or aerosols" after they just gave the Outasts the gimmick where they spray people in every match. The no hanging looks like it directly targets Brody from house of black cuz he's the one that does those hanging spots where he puts someone in the sleeper and hangs them over the ring apron. of course Mox was probably bleeding just from thinking about this stuff. and don't forget Dustin... he bleeds in every match as well. he just doesn't wrestle as often as Mox so he goes more under the radar. but bleeding is literally his thing.

If WWE came calling for the TV rights to TNT, you think they won't drop AEW in a heartbeat

Watching Osprey try to murder Omega probably finally got TNT/TBS to actually watch the shows more closely and realize these idiots are going to kill a worker or fan on live TV and we're going to end up testifying in front of Congress.

Definitely, look at WCW. They fired both Dustin and his opponent because they both bled on the truck match

I'm 99% sure that's the case. If it wasn't for the network, Punk wouldn't be back

The same type of networks that let sid rick etc get fucked up or the ones that let angle get perced up and let rob Terry take unpros to the head? Those kind folks? They clearly aren't about capitalizing on people. They really care about their safety.

When they give you time 3 nights a week they can tell that idiot Tony to dance at the top of the 9pm hour.

I low-key want Seth or Roman to use this during their promo for their feuds to subtly mock them for it

@@marvinleong5902 yes!!!

Collision will be fine

​@@John_Smith420I wish they would put collision on Wednesday night for more viewers and put the dynamite show on Saturday. Collision is a WAY BETTER SHOW

@@John_Smith420 Sure, if you consider a show that's struggling to get half a million viewers "fine".

@@decepticonxhunter4850 I do not care about the ratings, its not my money. I'm just saying Collision will have plenty of in-ring talent that will not suffer from these new rules. Plus, I doubt many people are watching live television on Saturday nights and most are recording it to watch the next day.

If he get pinned for B&G then it probably true 😂😂

Oddly enough, you never know that it's time to take the toy away until something happens that teaches you that lesson.

Yep, and in which case, no "better to apologize than to ask for permission" crap. They SHOULD STILL punish them for: a) not notifying them, and b) still going ahead and doing it. Like start cracking the whip, even if they apologize. Make them realize that there's no tolerance. It will either get them to do what they should be doing, or they go back to being an Indie scrub, and AEW can actually become a legit serious product that's ran properly and professionally.

You think they can’t tell a fake seizure?

@@BB-ed4om That attitude kills ppl in the medical field.

Cornette "bad" when he's been saying this for 4 years. AEW "good" when they actually institute these rules. The diehards are insufferable, and I say this as an AEW fan

Or if you get the yes every time . What's the fucking point

What's Tony gonna do? Send em home with pay? Tony doesn't have the BALLS to actually DO anything about it.

Quite the leap logically you just took lol

I'm starting to wonder if these are kayfabe rules or if the default answer for approval will be "yes"

they can do a 720 shooting star press of the top rope into a Frankensteiner into a Boston crab but they can't do a basic collar and elbow tie up 😂

They will end up like Thumbtack Jack who did some of the dumbest shit as deathmatch wrestler, but then got concussions and a career ending injury when he started to do regular matches because he didn't know how to take bumps safely 😂

​@@megsleyThe mental image 😂😂

It’s gonna really have that backyard wrestling feel now.

They’ve still got the pro wrestling chimpanzees around doubt theyll be serious anytime soon

Not with Tony's booking.

they grow up so fast 😂

Let's call it developmental brand.

No I love it, the collective nervous breakdown of their audience is quite entertaining!

They have to. They’re running out of money quick and AEW isn’t helping.

Jeff Jarrett

@@alphatoddio yup, forgot about Jeff. As long as Karen is there to potato me with the guitar that's fine with me 😂

Somehow he gonna blame all of this to the list
