Jim Cornette on Domino's Being Upset With AEW Over The Pizza Cutter Incident 

Wait a minute, Dave Meltzer gave Chris Jericho vs Nick Gage 4 stars only because the crowd was into it but he gave 3 stars to The Rock vs Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania 18 where fans were jumping and throwing babies in the air ?

Dave Meltzer: I didn’t like the match, but I don’t trust myself to have an opinion

If there was ever a "well, wouldn't you know who won the pony" moment, this is it.

Since Meltzer rated the match so highly because the crowd loved it, he must've given Hogan vs Andre 5 stars. *checks notes* Oh...

I still can’t believe they did that on national tv

AEW fans: “That was the greatest thing ever!!” Domino’s Pizza: “Yea…………….no.”

So no offense to Travis but how did we not get Jericho as Pizza the Hut from space balls?

These days it's more entertaining to listen to Jim Cornett rant about modern wrestling than actually watching it.

To be fair, Domino's around these parts could use a lesson on how to use a pizza cutter.

What shocks me is that a lot of AEW fans don't understand why a company wouldn't like having their ad run next to that match!

I started watching AEW to enjoy these reviews. Jim is AEW's most effective promoter.

“This was the worst thing I have ever seen, I have to give it a solid 2 thumbs up” - Ape Meltzer

A good street fight a few times a year was always exciting. Now when you do it every week it gets old fast

As long as Jerichozuna isn’t banned from Domino’s, we’re all safe. Otherwise he’s going to break their walls down like the Kool-Aid man.

THIS was the Cornette Rant the world has been waiting for and badly needed!

When I saw this video, I prepared a meal for it

Jim doing good Looney Tunes theme song 😂

AEW stans are actually blaming Corny fans and WWE stans for "telling" Dominos lol i would guarantee you, if Domino's supported the spot, the AEW stans would say Domino's is one of the best pizzas... now they trash Domino's lol

Rock Vs Hogan didn’t get praise like that from meltzer , and it was a better match with a better crowd.

That was THE greatest thing ever! Such a clusterFUCK when I saw the pizza cutter side by side with DOMINOS!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Grab your popcorn and cold beverage folks 😂😂😂😂 this is gonna be a good one

I hate Nick Gage and the pizza cutter, but goddamn.....because of that Domino's ad, that's funny sxxx.

AEW fans are now boycotting Domino's Pizza 😂😂😂😂

50 year old man and a bank addicted drug robber.......................I am done, I am dead

They can start advertising weight loss or exercise equipment any timeJericho is in the ring.

The fact that a guy who isn’t even on the roster was responsible for them losing advertising is hilarious

Id love to see WWE get Dominos now and give Corbin a job to get him back on his feet

They already have the bearded lady as their AEW Champion.

Chris Jericho is now Mickey Rourke

“Are we actually going to show the freak show?” Jim tnt literally had a freak show and Cody Rhodes was a judge for it.

died at 'Shaq drives up in an ambulance and delivers Papa johns' xD

I remember reading a post on this and people going "oh Dominos needs to chill out" and "ok it's just Dominos they can just get another sponsor". That is a short term way of looking at this and I find thinking this way is stupid. This may not evolve to anything severe for AEW but it is a warning that if they fuck up again like that, it could literally get worse. Some people point out the chill out part because how would they associate Dominos with this hardcore match, it's just an ad. Well, their picture in picture mode is why. When you have two things shown to you at the same time in the same window, you will usually apply a relationship with the two because that is how a lot of people have done advertising and sponsorships and that is also human nature where closeness implies relationship. So yes when Dominos sees their ad beside a guy pulling a pizza cutter to cut someone, that will imply that, hey we endorse this show and the material you are watching. The other argument about, "well get another sponsor". Put it this way. Relationships and trust are important in the business world. If Dominoes drops out because of this, how many others follow suit? Like Cornette said, suddenly companies pay close attention to AEW and if they don't like what they see, they may go to TNT and pull their ads out. You literally had Moxley speak out on Twitter too telling Dominos to chill out. Moxley, shut up you are literally a marketing and public relations team's worst nightmare. Also, AEW doing this shit with the ads also makes it even harder in the future potentially for other promotions. Say ROH wants to grow. They need sponsors but companies are afraid because they will remember what AEW did. Say someone else wants to start their own promotion and air it on TV. Now they have a harder time because of AEW. The last point only applies in a worst case scenario I feel where most companies pull ads but if they don't pay attention to these things, it can lead to this.

AEW will learn what WWE and other wrestling companies have learned, sponsors have limits and rules. But hey that got another sponsor that will probably pay them less.

According to Meltzer's logic almost every match deserves 5 stars because "it works for the audience". But he also said the star rating is infinite, so 4 stars is really low. Why not 6 billion stars?

An iconic moment in pro-wrestling history. The dominos incident.

Jim nailed it. Every week someone is bleeding. Doing sloppy dangerous spots..someone will get seriously hurt on live TV and tnt will tell aew to chill the F out

Just when you think Dave Meltzer's reputation can't sink any lower...

Jim mimicking the Looney Tunes theme killed me, I've been chuckling about it all day at work 🤣🤣

I can tolerate ECW, but the CZW style legal-snuff-film can never acceptable in my brain.

This reminds me of after the local news reported a dog getting killed in a microwave the channel went to an Oscar Meyer hotdog commercial.

Just a thought: Jim Cornette needs to copyright "Outlaw Mudshow" before AEW gets an idea and copyrights the name and make it a hardcore deathmatch themed PPV 🤣🤣,

I laughed too hard when he called outlaw mud wrestling torture porn.

BUT get this Corny, "they" say WWE did this, that a WWE reporter said something and that made Dominoe's mad, cause you know, AEW can't do any wrong or take responsibility for F ups.

I love you Travis...I remember watching that WB cartoon as a kid. "The problem is...I can only do this once!" Also, aggravating Domino's is really not a good idea.

"you got me there daffy, i can't top that" LMAO

When I heard about this on WhatCulture I knew Jim and Bryan were gonna fry them for this.😂

It seems Vince McMahon’s prophecy was always right. AEW is just “Blood & Guts” right?

Tell us Tony Khan has nobody around him to tell him no without telling me Tony Khan has nobody around him to tell him no.

If Dusty Rhodes sees whats happening in the late show of AEW, he might be dissapointed on his second son CODY.

When "The Noid" is annoyed...

Indie show with a budget, and a tv deal and sponsors. The last two might not be around much longer.

"There's no creativity in it, it's just gore and blood for the sake of gore and blood." - Eric Bischoff

Totally agree with Jim there is no way that match between Jericho and Gage was anywhere near the level of flair and steam boat. Meltzer is smoking crack if he thinks it gets a higher rating.

I heard AEW fans trying to boycott Dominoes, ok, first see how long it last and then it what, still won't be much, few hundred thousand against millions worldwide, but you know how they see numbers.

I just wanted to add my two cents worth about the Jericho vs. Nick Gage match. 1) It was a TERRIBLE idea to have Aubrey Edwards ref that match. If you're going to have an outlaw, mudshow, blood and guts match with broken light bulbs and broken glass everywhere, DON'T PUT YOUR ONLY FEMALE REFEREE IN THERE TO REF IT. What if she would have gotten hurt? I bet that would go over like a lead balloon. Imagine if she would have gotten glass in her eye and lost an eye. Oops. 2) Those light bulbs contain MERCURY. Very toxic heavy metal. It does horrific things to the body, and it very difficult to detox. And Jericho, Gage, and Aubrey were all 3 inhaling large amounts of it every time those bulbs broke. They might not know the effects of it for months or possibly even years. 3) I don't know anyone who enjoys outlaw mudshow wrestling. That hardcore garbage is NOT wrestling. It's lowest common denominator violence, it is not entertaining, and I wish they would quit doing it.

I rather watch a brilliant storyline unfold between wrestlers then to see Wrestlers legit open themselves up to awful injury.

The AEW fans threatening to boycott Domino's Pizza are in for a rude awakening when their mom isn't home to cook their dinner, so they have to starve themselves on principle by not ordering Domino's.

The fact their was a pizza commercial in the middle of this video made this epic rant even more epic!!! LMFAO

I’m high as fuck. When he said “4-legged fetus in the glass jar” I lost it lol 😂 😂

I am not gonna lie, that timing was hilarious, and suspicious. Almost as if even Gage was in on it. I can't imagine Domino's was in on it with their reaction, but it certainly seemed *planned* and *coordinated* by TNT and AEW (or whoever is in charge of ad timing).

Tony Khan has said in interview in the past that any time they are going to do anything "questionable" that could cause problems with the network they get it cleared ahead of time. Which means that if Tony put it on Dynamite it was cleared by TNT.

Yea if I owned a pizza company I would probably be mad too if a tool that’s specifically used for cutting pizza was used on someone’s head. I mean……it’s not like there’s some sick twisted people that may actually try to duplicate stuff like this.

Shit made me want to order dominos lol

9:31 On a related note, Sting vs Bret Hart Backstage Brawl was awesome. It was one of the bright spots of Bret Hart's WCW run.

Jim Cornette always talked about Sponsors not liking their Products to be associated with Garbage but AEW cannot seem to help themselves and soon Bray Wyatt will be joining this Circus … 🕳👀

This would of been a great opportunity for AEW fans to say “you know what? This whole Nick Gage and Dominos thing has been awful and let’s never repeat it” but no, they’re not only defending it but actively attacking other fans on social media who called it out for being embarrassing mess

So the match was ugly, drew heat with the sponsors, and even Meltzer himself says he hated it, and ut gets 4 stars? And Meltzer has the balls to get salty when people say he's a shill for AEW

Why would anyone actually choose to eat at domino's when real pizza places exist

Domino's first introduction to an outlaw mudshow.. Only now do they realize it's the company they partnered with 🤣

I can just tell this episode will have me in tears thanks Corny

AEW fans were doing gymnastics to talk about how Domino's was wrong on WrestleTalk's RU-vid page.

Interestingly enough AEW fans are running with the story that it was VINCE of all people who called Domino's to blow the whistle on AEW, maybe because Dave Meltzer hinted that WWE had a "concerted campaign against AEW". Hilarious.

Someone check Crazy Uncle Dave's meds again!

Travis missed the opportunity to draw a Corny/Noid hybrid character

Shaq showing up with Papa Johns would pop me 😂😂😂

That Shaq Idea with Papa Johns is hilarious and perfect! Dave Meltzer is a joke but we all knew that already now that we have better critics on RU-vid.

Dave Meltzer's opinion on Wrestling goes to show anyone with the right equipment, and can ass kiss pro wrestlers can be a dirt sheet writer.SMFH, sad.

the looney tunes comparison cracked me up real good... LMAO

I have started to believe cornette gave that Looney tune ending music 😂

Dominoes' in Australia is actually pretty damn good. (this is not sponsored, I'm just saying). Also Dave is DEFINATLY on the payroll, no doubt

Amazingly, Jim and Brian didn't comment on the fact there was a movement of AEW fans commenting about what a genius move it was to have the pizza advert there.

The laughable thing in the UK Domino's sponsor's the ITV hub that show's AEW

He should have followed the "where's the rooster crowing?" With "get Terry Taylor on the phone."

Domino's is the worst garbage pizza in the market.

Jericho used to be one of my favorite wrestlers. Now hes no better than the worst of ecw blood bath matches. At least that was on st midnight for a reason

You'd think the son of a billionaire businessman would know better than to get into legal trouble with another company over something like this. This seems pretty basic. Don't they have a team of lawyers who clear this stuff? WWE wouldn't make this mistake, and I find myself complimenting them more and more as time goes by, and they were the reason I stopped watching wrestling regularly in 2002. WWE is terrible, boring TV, but they're not complete idiots when it comes to business. I wonder now if the Jaguars are making any money?

Domino's out, Little Caesar's in?....🍕

Aye I’m high so I thought the thumbnail was Daffy Duck at a glory hole.

Gonna be hilarious when AEdub has to start giving TNT a run sheet. Shits gonna change.

Jim should have started this with “I’d hate to toot my horn but, TOOT TOOT!!!” 😂

Nick Gage used a pizza cutter and then a Domino's commercial comes on. Talk about a coincedence. 😁

Who could have possibly predicted hangman drinking human blood live on PPV lmao

what does cutting someones head open have to do with wrestling...i haven't watched aew since matt hardy's teleporting and i don't get it.

This is what the AEW acolytes don't see - when you start getting bigger, you have sponsors and networks to answer to. This sort of outlaw promotion won't last on mainstream TV.

When is a fucking grown up gonna finally, straighten this shit show out? At this rate, Tony is gonna blow his Dad's money, fucking everything, into the ground... At this rate, All the sponsors are all gonna leave this train wreck...

Extra pizza sauce and blood please!

Absolute best Cornette rant of recent times.

I’m upset with Domino’s for being absolute shit. And I still remember that time in 1999 when it took them 3 hours to deliver. I was 6 and I love pizza. It’s shit pizza but I wanted it.

In Australia, Dominos is cheap but still tastes fucking good. Loaded pepperoni👌👌👌

I used to work for Domino's Pizza and I know that if I were the CEO of the company, I would be so angry at AEW for this garbage wrestling. I like wrestling shows that are combat fights between two wrestlers without screw job endings.
