Jim Cornette on Austin Aries 

1:18 "You whiny, little, turnip-eating fuckin' bitch!" That is GOLD.

Imagine if Austin Aries was a tolerable human being, he’d be in an aj styles position

Austin Aries and Teddy Hart should form a tag team and call themselves the Greatest that Never Was.

I'm still mad at him for what he did to Johnny Mundo in Impact wrestling. Whether it was for Impact, ROH or New Japan is irrelevant he still went into business for himself and ruined a main event by no selling the finish.

Jesus christ Jim is a national treasure 😂😂😂😂

Gotta love that no matter how much Jim hates a wrestler, he'll always give him credit if he was a good worker.

Austin Aries doesn't just burn bridges,he burns towns.he can't get along with anyone.

This is one of Jim’s most underrated rants. Aries was a great all around performer, who, if he had a few more inches and lbs would have been a main event guy in WWE but it seems his attitude held him back. He said in an interview he had to have a bigger ego to “stand on in this business” so to him, maybe he felt he had to be the the squeakiest wheel to get some grease.

This really puts AA’s “belt collector” gimmick in a new light 😂

11:16 I cant stop laughing man, wtf

Aries definitely seems like the epitome of a "Locker Room CANCER"

Never bought Aries as a top guy anyway, then he no-sold a MAIN EVENT FINISH ON A PAY PER VIEW. Dude should be blacklisted after that

Austin Aries the modern day Shawn Michaels minus friends and the same amount of talent and twice as intolerable

It's too bad that AA is so hard to get along with. He's a very talented wrestler.

That's what attitude does people. Look at two of the best small vegan wrestlers: one is Tiny Turnip-Eating Man who almost everyone doesn't want to work with, and the other is the World's Toughest Vegan who won the main event at WM30 and is one of the most popular wrestlers in the world... quite a difference, huh?

I listened to the interview Aries did with CVV. His mindset was interesting to hear but it became obvious why he’s had issues everywhere he’s been. Basically every opinion he spoke of that he had pushed for in a company or the way he explained why he did something was always fully self-focused on whatever thing would be the best thing for himself. And of course looking out for yourself is to be expected in wrestling and you need to because nobody else is going to do it for you. So that aspect you can’t fully fault him for because that’s reasonable to try and do things that benefit you and your role. But the key thing that causes the problems he’s had is that it’s always self focused. Through a two hour interview he basically never had an approach of why whatever idea he had or was pushing for benefitted everyone in his match or the company as a whole. The one or two times he even mentions things being better for the company’s business it immediately reverts and focuses on being best for himself and how it keeps him valueable going forward. And that is what the issue has always been I would bet. Sure it’s one thing to present ideas that you think are better but it’s different when you present them as being better for everybody versus being better for yourself. It demonstrates that his attitude always focused on what was best for him and that he really didn’t care about if things were beneficial for the company or the person he was working with. Even if an idea would be better for everybody involved it’s clear that for him that would be a nice thing if it ends up happening versus something he was focused on being the case. And if you were managing a person like that I can see why you’d eventually tire of them being around and dealing with them on a regular basis. You can deal with people who push back on things because they’re focused on the company being better but when you can see that it’s all about them and that they only care about themselves eventually you’re going to get sick of putting up with that person. When you hear his attitude about things you can start seeing where the issues likely were when dealing with him. At some level you can focus on yourself like top stars always have but if you aren’t explaining why you think it’s best for the business as a whole you’re going to eventually let that person go knowing they’re selfish.

C'MON CORNETTE - DON'T HOLD BACK - TELL US HOW YOU REALLY FEEL BUD

I loved Austin but then I start listening to his interviews and social media abd Jesus. Theres a difference in knowing what you are capable of bringing to a company and just stirring the shit

Jim Cornette...you are the FUCKING MAN!!! Do you know how refreshing it is for someone who grew up in the '80's to hear someone who swears like myself and all my buddies back then!! Your honesty is very much appreciated. And I WOULD NEVER have guessed that AA is a fucking turd in the punchbowl!! I just can't believe it!! And he's not just miserable, he's got that short-man's complex.

God bless you, Corny.

Jim went OFF on that man

Jim is still the best promo in wrestling

He also left Impact twice the last time he walked out on the match.

Remember the no sell when dropping the impact title to John Morrison

Austin Aeries is the intolerable version of CM Punk

Jim you are just the best!

Yo Jim is funny as shit I always loved listening to his story

Thanks Jim and Brian for the great work! I get a big kick from the comments of the people that think they are as intelligent and knowledgeable about a business you spent your entire life in! It’s very amusing! So many self appointed experts and people that think their opinions are gospel! Keeps me entertained!

"Smell that dairy air!" 💀

Impact is always doomed to kill their locker room from Aries to low ki to el patron...they seem to love the controversial bridge burners. Just amazed it went relatively friendly with davey Richards!

I’ve always had a soft spot for Austin Aries’ work. I just enjoy the way he moves in the ring and handles himself on the mic. But there is something about being a decent human being.

"A teeny tiny little turnip eating man"🤣🤣

This is amazing lol thank you Jim!!

He was doing so good his last run at Impact, they even made him World Champion & it worked, but he ended it so unprofessionally. He can even wrestle big guys, he & Bobby Lashley believe it or not had a great match couple years back. Put Lashley in the Brain Buster from the 2nd turnbuckle , great match.

Tiny turnip 👏👏👏👏👏 Tiny turnip 👏 👏👏👏👏

this promo is solid gold!!!!!

Aries is a "great 'little' performer"...thats as backhanded as ya can get...

Always found him to be good in the ring, but he seems to burn bridges in every promotion so he has t be doing something wrong.... this kinda fills in some of the issues.

Jim Cornette is the man. Wrestling royalty

Jim Cornette is a walking talking wrestling Encyclopaedia,any promotion would be lucky to have him.

Get em Jimmy

Jim Cornette wins. FATALITY!

Aries is a fantastic wrestler. Such a shame the way he's burned just about all his bridges with his character flaws. Reminds me so much of Teddy Hart, but less dangerous.

Awesome Shoot Today Jim!!😎🐐🐐

Hahaha "still looked halfway like a man back then" oh corny you made my day

I can understand bigger now why WWE/Triple H let him go years ago!

I can't believe Aries actually thought that beard looked good

Austin Aries was at a house show in my town Morgantown West Virginia in 2013 he was signing autographs and had a look on his face that screamed please hurry up and get me outta here

Just Roaring Lmafo listening it in June 2020..

"Turnip Eatin' Bitch" would make a great outlaw country song!

Jim, you'll always be one step above of Austin, you're taller than him.

Always felt that he was just a CM Punk 2.0. Talented in the ring, but a major whiner backstage whenever things weren't going his way.

Now, that is a rant. LMAO!!

Damn! Jim went in.

So....Shawn Michaels? A guy so good in the ring that he became an undesirable pain in the ass in the ring to everyone?

It makes you wonder why Thea Trinidad broke up with him because they were engaged

An 18:16 burn Corney style. I love it!

Cornette has the best goddamn one-liners this side of Henny Youngman.

Jim and brian, keep up the great work!!!👍

I was surprise mlw worked with Austin Aries. Seems like his last stop anywhere.

I love when jc shoots on a guy thats done the business wrong. Just says it how it is.

The only thing I find interesting about Austin Aries is that he looks like Kano from the recent Mortal Kombat games.

Shawn Michaels loses his smile, Austin Aries loses his turnip-flavored, vegan-friendly, non-GMO, gluten free & taste free, soy tofu shake.

It appears AA wasnt very honorable during his time with Ring of Honor

Jim been watching you since the 80s you are the last link to real wrestling don't you quit on us we need you

I wonder if Jim Cornette ever realized this, and if he will ever address this in his Experience: Jim Cornette leaves WCW on bad terms, Jim Herd gets kicked out, WCW tanks for a while and it takes the NWO 6 years later to keep them alive for a few more years. Jim Cornette leaves WWE in 2005, product goes to shit shortly afterwards. WWE is too big to die, but the product is basically a zombie. Jim Cornette leaves TNA, TNA dies shortly afterwards Jim Cornette leaves ROH on bad terms, ROH dies shortly afterwards.

I love how Jim get people TFOH lmao

Best artwork yet btw. Hankel.

Austin Aries is so miserable, even Debbie Downer couldn't stand him.

Aries couldn’t even cut it in WWE so Jim is right about him not making it in a big company.

I forgot what episode of TNA IMPACT Wrestling it was but AA got pissed off at Christy Hemme for botching his name during a tag team match intro that he cornered poor Christy into a corner and puts his "junk" on her face in front of everyone on TV.

Great freakin wrestler but its kind of an obvious hint when ROH, TNA, and WWE want nothing to do with you.

He’s a vegan. That dairy air in Wisconsin would just make him more irritable

I don't know much of Aries outside of his NXT/205 run, but given he asked for his release after his booking with Neville (Pac) on 205 Live, I knew there was something off about him. I never realized he was this bad.

lol that dairy air.....just like chattanooga.....a shit river runs thru it.

Back in the day we have Wild Slapnuts. Now we also have Wild Tiny Turnip Eating "Double A AUSTIN ARIES" 😆

I’ve seen a Coach kick a kid’s A*s ‘ (Coach) went to jail’ but messaged delivered 🤣🤠🤣

That drawing is perfect! #ART ME

All my respect for him left with the Johnny Mundo no sell... I thought his tna champ run was the shit.

A slow motion whack a mole 😂

“The Dick Cheney of wrestling... emphasis on the Dick.” Golden!

Austin Aries was one of the main reasons I began watching TNA in 2011-2012 his mic skills are great and his in ring work is excellent, he’s explosive, hits hard, and has good in ring psychology it sucks his WWE run didn’t go well

That's too bad If Aries is a d-bag. He's so good in the ring.

I cant stand aries he been let go or fired or left everywhere

Hungry ppl are often angry

The Kyrie of wrestling

Is Austin Aries hatred the only thing Cornette and Russo agree on?

When I found out AA was from Wisconsin it explained alot about the stories I heard about him. Tons of miserable pricks from there. Understandably so if you ever spent an extended amount of time... especially southeastern Wisconsin in the Milwaukee Racine Kenosha areas

Agreed. As of may 2020 Austin aries took his ball and went home like a child. Do you think the stars of the 50s 60s 70s and 80s acted like this? How about the midcard doinks or even how about Barry Horowitz? Entitled children.

Is it me or does Austin Aries looks like MK11 Kano ?

Aries, like Low Ki, is one of those guys that should be a bigger deal in the business but can't get out of his own fucking way.

When Austin Aries was on wwe commentary, he would always have a banana in his front shirt pocket.😂 I use to pop at that.

He could be a manager but at the same time he can also be a commentator as well

17:20 lmfao

If it makes Jim Cornett feel any better I was at a Melbourne Australia show and the Austin Aries had "Get out of the arena" heat. I know that because he got booed out of arena and ended his part of the match quickly, it was an elimination between Brian Cage, John Morrison and Austin Aries. everything Austin Aries did, the fans wore booing him telling him they literally hated his guts and to go home. was crazy..

Something about cornys anger calms me down

I remember seeing him at an ROH fan Q&A in Dayton Ohio and him being a dick to those asking questions, and then abruptly ending the Q&A for no particular reason. I wondered if he was trying to turn heel, but now I think he was just being himself.

1:18 LOL

Aries is the definition of misery loves company...

Now I know why he won't answer my questions. 😂🤣😂
