Jim Cornette on Guys Who Should Be Banished from Wrestling 

To be fair, Rotten is in his name

Lol who was this

@@countof3everybodyOD Shitty fat garbage wrestler who's only claim to fame is working in ECW in the early days. He sucked then too. You probably know who Axl Rotten is. Ian was his kayfabe brother.

@@billywiththebulgingbaloonb5105 ah thanks man but the funeral whose frigging funeral did he pull that at

JC Bailey

probably after he found about their trump support

@@account9434 the Bucks are Trump supporters? Yikes...

@@FireBreatherMP1 i remember Jim saying that

@@account9434 I now dislike those no-selling bastards less

@@FireBreatherMP1 you mean more. You dislike them more. If you disliked them less you'd like them.

@solstus Act Yasukawa actually had a fractured cheek, nasal, and orbital bones following the shoot assault from Yoshiko, she had to get surgery for these injuries. Few months later, Yasukawa retired from professional wrestling.

@@fadetoblack7908 reminds me of the time Justin Gabriel did a front flip out the ring and fandango basically dropped him on his neck. He raised his hands a little and as justin fell lowered them way too early. What a piece of sh

Akira Maeda should also be blacklisted for pulling a similar shoot incident in the 80s.

I guess in addition you'd probably put Nanae Takahashi as well since she basically gave her a job at Seadlinning

@CroWeaper Sheffield sucks dick

Championship team

@CroWeaper Did the kid juice it up?

The kid got juice

And it was safe

😂😂😂😂 at least they sold it

That was priceless! Cornett is too good!!

have you heard him talking about Vince eating / driving

TheRosswise Lol epic comment. It was Vince Russo. Cornette's most hated enemy

The way Russo tells the story, it was Tony Schiavone that came up with it, Russo just went with it. Blacklist everyone in that meeting, I say.

Russo

+TheRosswise that was fucking years ago get over it

You first fuckwad

u give him way too much credit

"Thank you, fuck you, bye!" lmao

He is though. Rhodes REFUSED to even allow him in the building for All In. McMahon will have nothing to do with him, (even though Russo emails him and HHH constantly), and Global figured out what good he did for them and won't let him back.

@@levibradley5098 Russo is as thick as a f'ing brick. He kept stalking Rhodes AFTER he stated quite clearly Russo was persona non grata? WTF?!

@@Beatles0223 I know. It's actually kinda sad really

Good call.

Also, it doesn't bother him as much anymore. He doesn't care that much.

Or when WWE protected Pat Patterson for life because he was Pat Patterson ....we could all go on. Excellent comment. Thank you.

Yeah. Every death is, in a way, but Bruiser Brody was awesome. And to get done the way he did, that is genuinely awful.

@@TheRealDannAlexander excellent comment by you as well. The disgusting things I have heard about Patterson make me sick. What a horrible human.

You’ll frequently see me leave a comment “pretty sure Vince is going to hell” and while there are many reasons that one is top 3

@@TheRealDannAlexander the "Fabulous" Moolah.

shoutout Sean Ranklin

INVADER #1 MUST DIE!!!!!

If you want tp ban people who have committed felonies IRL and got away with it, that would be Snooka, McMahan, Austin, Lawler, Moolah, and a dozen other "superstars."

Yes, Snuka!

@@pumpkinsdontcry I agree

Hogan is the reason why the business is as big as it is today

I bought that PPV. That was the last one.

@@MitchLyskKane nah

Good point

@@MitchLyskKane True, but also responsible for the crap that's on today. Hogan, Nash, Russo, Jarrett drained and killed both WCW and TNA taking alternatives away from fans leaving the wwe to put any shit they want on tv

Stephen Mahala hey man. Never really heard dirt on garvin. What was he into?

Lol. Moolah is dead so maybe she doesn't need to be banned.

Pat Patterson kept Vince from his worst impulses.

Pat Patterson??

@SlimBack121 he’s accused of molesting little boys. Look up ring boy scandal.

Should be booked alright...but, not on a Wrestling show.. should be booked in prison for murdering my friend. Rot in Hell Gonzalez !

It's even worse what happened to his son Geoffrey when he was in prison for drug related charges 😔

​@@1986Martinezwhat happened to him??

@@RobVanDelay_WholeFnContest I don't know all the details, but last I checked (which was like 2020), he was sentenced to prison for drug related crimes. I believe he has since been released.

I’ve hope this as well. A master class of kayfabe

The ultimate work.

@@michaelallanrubin2376 wow, you actually can't comprehend life can you

What, just because you MURDER somebody means you should be banned!? C'mon man, you're being too harsh!

Pedophilia would have gotten ALOT of guys banned... especially in Tennessee

@Elliott Lebron You are a piece of sh**.

Everyone get a load of this guy

@Elliott Lebron bet you're TOUGH aren't ya. Sit the fuck down child

Elliott Lebron You still in the first grade buddy? English seems to be a bit difficult for you.

Chris Gonzalez just cuz he was a bully doesn’t mean he deserved to be murdered, Jose Gonzalez murdered him cuz he wouldn’t put him over. That’s some cold shit right there

Mick Foley is a special case I feel. He was such a giving and generous dude.....so idk.

@Richard Croteau yeah, cornette has said he likes Foley

@@richardcroteau1733 I feel like Terry Funk is also an exception because he did a shit load of hardcore/death match/garbage wrestling

Andrew Clement HHH Killed the industry

McMahon never killed wrestling.

It's his company can do whatever the fuck he wants to do with it

;---)

The WWE iSN'T "Wrestling" it's sports entertainment! Anyway, I do owe Vince an apology! In the 80s PWI had a transcript of an interview Vince gave in which he called Jimmy Snuka a "basket case"! I said Vince was full of crap! Now, I realize Vince didn't go far enough with his comment!

Well, SM was of more value to the company at the time. They needed Shawn and couldn't afford to "punish" him properly and still sell tickets. HHH on the other hand could have retired at any time during his career without many people giving a shit.

Jobs from the bottom? He barely did a job for anyone. Losing a match isn’t “doing a job” . Besides the warrior match he wasn’t ever jobbed out . And any other mid card would have done the job for warrior too. He didn’t claw his way out of anything

It wasn’t on tv either

@@ayewhaddupdoe Triple H carried the company while Austin was out in late ‘99-2000.

By that point if you didn’t know it was a performance and these guys who worked the best feuds were friends... you’re f’n stupid!!! Duggan and Sheik got caught smoking weed together years before and Vince came out with Sports Entertainment. Not to mention, as much as I loved wrestling, by the time I was 6-7 it was obviously not actual fighting.

That's why I think the UT-HBK WM25 and 26 matches are overrated.

23 and 24 were Taker's best

Ok boomer

Like all things, its good when used in moderation. It does go too far sometimes nowadays though.

​@@jamesgentry13get a real insult

I get the impression that Corny gives the fans enough credit to assume that he doesn't believe that murderers are less reprehensible than people who exposed the business. Plus, he's an entertainer, and it's hard to be entertaining when you're talking about murderers.

jainubeezy1 you are seriously fucking stupid.

Corny????? What have you been buddies with the guy for 10 years?

Corny calls for those who exposed and/or disrespected the business to BE murdered.

"Lol. Cornys more pissed at the ones who exposed the business than the murderers.' He ALWAYS is, and I've commented on that before. He's perfectly fine with New Jack, who has four "justifiable" homicides that he saw fit to commemorate with a tattoo on his fucking body, because he values human life so highly, and then damned near killed people in front of paying audiences, but hates and wants Vince Russo to die for things done in the wrestling business. It's a trait common among liberals to so demonize bullshit while embracing those who are ACTUALLY outright fucking demonic subhuman shit.

I read this as Mike Tyson.. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Agreed.

@Sgt. Giggle Mittens no its just everyone knows thats bad.

Who?

Yup

Well if you listen to Jim Cornette react to the allegations against the Velveteen Dream you'll see that he's way more interested in Kayfabe than Child Molestation.

BlueWaffle1929 it was almost 8 ears dumb ass

@@1andonlyjohnnelson81 "it was almost 8 ears dumb ass" Well well well. If it isn't a spelling error directly adjacent to accusing someone else of being dumb.

Marty Scull should never be booked also

Because he wasn't convicted until 2 decades after the AWA went out of business.

@@GetBenched2010 he was also locked up in 1986, which is what OP is referring to 1989 too, apparently. Jesus, Verne

This….. If Dark Side does an episode I want this question posed to Greg Gagne.

I agree new Jack should be tourchered with a fucking chain saw

new Jack has said on many many occasions that he is not a wrestler he himself says he is a thug which is why you see him on independent shows and gym's with 10 people in the crowd and not any creditable promotion you get in the ring with new Jack you should expect that you might get stabbed

Some of the incidents he's known for aren't entirely his fault (Gypsy Joe completely no sold and stiffed him, so no sympathy for him. Mass Transit asked to bleed and was shown facilitating the whole thing ion tape.), but after Hunter Lane, yea, New Jack should have been blackballed. He does a good promo, but that doesn't justify doing blow and carrying a fucking knife to the ring to kill someone.

He never killed his wife and son.anyone who got hurt with Jack had it coming.hes a good dude.jhst a real one.xross that line and he's going to get you.he doesn't work stiff and takes care of the workers y til they show that lack of respect and care towards him.for every bad thing someone can say he has 100 matches with nothing but love from every side

I guess you missed him stabbing a guy multiple times ,no one should have that coming ,how the hell he didnt get arrested is anyones guess ..

Schultz gave Kayfabe at least another 5 years of life. It probably would of been exposed fully by the 90's if he didn't show people that those people in the ring, scripted or not, can make the average joe's hearing go bust from two slaps.

9 times out of 10 he's 100% correct wasn't expecting steiner math in these comments, but I'll take it

General Sherman HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

General Sherman "You are half the man I am..and I have half the brain that you do" -Sid Vicious😂

He's a leftist nazi

He's a bigoted moron who thinks if something in wrestling isn't what he loves it automatically sucks He's right every 1 out of 100 times like all idiots

Yeah because having a 70 year old give birth to a hand, a guy have sex with a corpse, and having an 8 year old win AN ACTUAL tag team title makes a hell of alot of sense lol

Not to mention they actually hired a one legged man for a fake ass kicking contest.

@@godlevel5495 First off, Nicholas was 10, not 8, he also didn't actually wrestle in the match and Make Young giving birth to a hand was great TV.

Yeah he does seem to be a fan of him always putting him over online

nAmE7056. Not a chance! The only reason he keeps talking about that piece of garbage is people keep asking him questions about him. And Jim is loyal to his fans even if they like garbage like that.

If you knew then what we know now.. lol

I only liked him before I really paid attention to him because him and Candice Lerae were awesome together

hahahaha up up and square lol

They blocked me for calling them low budget Hardy's 😂

Won the IC title the next year and married Stephanie McMahon and help how many world titles? Never jobbed to Bob Holly? Yup he was sure punished

The curtain call ended up being a blessing in disguise yes HHH got punished but we also got stone cold Steve Austin

@@niteporter he did get squashed against warrior and was in hog pen matches

@@Dan-cl1zg The squash happened before the curtain call...

He wasn't fined at all

Yeah but unlike everyone else new Jack would have track down cornette well you know what happens next.

Eric Kulas asked New Jack to gig him 🤣🤣

​@darionwillams6510 nothing is funny about that

Dixie is top of my list. how can someone be that stupid ?

On one hand I disagree because he clearly cares about the business. But on the other hand he did completely beat up a man in his 60's or 70's for not selling. And of course the Mass Transit incident.

@@Jasonvoorhees57469 well here's something to think about. If you're pushing 70 years old, you should know how to sell and what to sell, and you should know better than to wrestle new jack and think he's gonna sell your weak ass bullshit. Not saying what Jack did was right, but it wasn't entirely wrong if you ask me

Cant believe he's not rotting in jail forever.

Mass transit was the kid and the father's fault not new jacks

@@hardingryan42 How about the old man being beaten up? I know Jack's hardcore, but still...

Yeah that sounds stupid

Eidenhoek Fucking Mark

@@diablosportscreme 😂😂🤦

It's because Jim is friends with him. It doesn't matter if the guy is a Scumbag.

I don't like accusing Jim of hypocrisy, but in the case of New Jack I'm really puzzled at Cornette's attitude towards him.

Because for everything that he's done wrong, New Jack has also done everything right by the business. When have you ever heard of him being so selfish that he would never put another wrestler over? New Jack understands that his persona is far more compelling than any win or loss record he has. The other people that Jim mentions are those who have repeatedly put the business at risk for selfish reasons.

@@shindean Beating up Gypsy Joe for real

@@spac18 you know what else is real? The brain damage that he suffered that has caused him to go blind in one of his eyes during a match, and he didn't blame his opponent for landing on him he blamed himself, being accountable like a professional and a man. Being accountable in this business for your own actions and detriment of character is rare, just look at Lex Luger, he basically helped kill Elizabeth and he never took responsibility for it.

All during wrestling events, with other wrestlers (or professed wrestler). Who do you think is the mark here. And they say that kayfabe is dead. New Jack proves that you CAN still convince people that wrestling is real.

Princeofcups Poc didn’t he almost murder a 17 year old for real in the ring? that’s not kayfabe, that’s just being a psychopath.

@@Slop_Dogg didn't he also try killing like a 50 or 60plus year old wrestler who wouldn't sell for him?

@@VillaFanFTW he did. I want to say his name is "Injun Joe" or "Gypsy Joe" but I'm not sure what his name was but I saw both the "Mass Transit incident" & "nearly stabbing and old wrestler to death over selling on that old "Swap Meet" with Ross "Im Drunk Vegas & "Hot" Johnny August.

Exactly! How many matches has he had compared to how many “incidents”

He was only losing until about October , the warrior match was before the curtain call

Good. Fuck HHH.

Nailed it.

I thought Omega/Okada match was great, but not worth the 6 stars. Everything Kenny touches seems to be overrated nowadays

I don't understand what gets Meltzer's dick so hard about him...

What I don't get is what the fuck is wrong with selling? Wrestling is live theatre, telling a story of contest that human beings have told since we were huddling in caves. That's being lost and its sad. There's a place for everything in wrestling, Omega's style is impressive and cool at times, wrestling has always been a circus and guys like Omega are the acrobats. I just hate how prevalent all the flippy shit is now like its the be all and end all.

Not gonna lie the no selling thing is really only consistent with the Bucks and Kenny. If you watch other matches their opponents are in that don't include them their is a clear difference between the amount of no selling. Not saying they are the only culprits (Cough Cough NXT) but they definitely do drag their opposition into their shenanigans. Okada matches are long but most are methodical and due have a large deal of selling and meaning behind each move.

Brian really made Corny look like an asshole with the context. lol I love how Corny's reaction is to throw out his more important picks due to what amounts to a technicality in the "exercise" smh

Meh I think murderers were too obvious a choice. They clearly shouldn't be booked again and we know Corny would agree.

I loved the line. Because to Jim someone who wrestles with dolls is as bad as a murderer because they murder the wrestling business. Classic Corny.

@@noahlewissmith190 classic angry manchild lol

@@noahlewissmith190 That's what I love about Cornette. ....He knows exactly what he thinks and says it with little regard to anyone else's morality. I've always aspired to be that way, but then again, I dont risk very much......just being a normal Schmo and not famous.

He has plenty of Ian rotten rants lol just search on RU-vid

Not like that. They totally broke character. That night was the birth of the attitude era.

No it wasn't they asked b4 hand and it was at a dark show at a time when no-one had video cameras and had wwe not put the video out no-one woulda seen it besides at that time the buissnes had been exposed a thousand times and not to mention those guys made wrestling popular again in the 90s with the nwo and dx the two biggest factions ever

No-one ever talks about Bret hart going on national news and exposing the buissnes to the whole world after he got his feelings hurt for not wanting to do a job

hell that not just him

@@markdejonge937 problem is i've seen people who was high as a kite but still put on a hell of a match. Jeff HArdy though couldnt even look like he remembered who the fuck he was in that match.

Jeff Brister That was one time and he got clean afterwards....

@@KiddsWorldEntertainment he still tanked a world title match on pay per view because he decided to get high.

Jeff Brister There has been way more egregious actions by other wrestlers. If you’re seriously gonna ban a guy for that you might as well throw away the whole wrestling business

It's hysterical. He honestly thinks Kenny omega is worse than Hitler. Lmao

@@drunkensailor112 And then in pretty much the same breath hemakes up excuses for Snuka, who is the only suspect, and then has the gall to shit on the victim's family after being screwed out of their court money.

I left Joey Ryan off the list because he basically is blacklisted since this recording was made.
