Jim Cornette on If He Was WCW's Backup Plan To Be Lead Heel Manager In Late 1991 

Corn E. Dangerously

Waiting for Jims take on the execution of Paul on smackdown 😂😂

So Meltzer lied about WCW offering a position to Cornette that went to Heyman? Color me shocked.

30 years ago and Meltzer was just making stuff up even then.

This artwork is what happens when Corny and Paul E do the DBZ fusion dance 😂

Jim E!!! Dangerously

King Kong (1960s cartoon) and Godzilla (1970s cartoon). 21:21

Meltzer been spouting bs for decades😂

This may sound insane but if Jim Cornette and Eric Bischoff could've gotten along, that could've saved WCW's ratings in the long term.

Would have been interesting to have had The Cornette Alliance. Corny again managing Bobby Eaton. And then the addition of Rude, Austin, Zbysko, Arn.

Oh shit and now we straight up have Hanna Barbera Godzilla and what looks like that old King Kong cartoon from the 1960s! Travis has to like these 2 on some level because the art is clearly inspired by the old Rampage games but he could have just gone with the Gorilla and giant Lizard from those games but specifically went with these 2 for the thumbnail, good man! 😃

"Don't worry I just left a cartoon wrestling promotion and I'm not gonna join another one" - Jim Cornette

So we were robbed of Mullet Corny, those bastards.....😂

Rude never wanted a manager, including heenan in wwf … so I’m not sure how things would have worked out with corny if rude wasn’t into the idea

Dusty = Kong Watts = Godzilla *If you wiiiiilllllllll*

Rick rude was part of the tag team the midnight express made debut against in mid south

Uncle Dave has always been a grifter.

these sponsor blurbs are the best ever, I'd pay money to hear Cornette sell shit on the Shopping network or infomercial lol

James E Dangerously

Imagine Tony khan running the actual WCW oh wait….

For anyone curious, pretty sure the show he went to with Bobby was on March 18th. Not exactly a ripsnorter, I can tell you that.

“And they burn the city down” and queue the Brian laugh. 😂

Ironically Godzilla & Kong are working together now & they are allies. But yes, they have destroyed a few cities along the way. But still saved Earth each time in the process!

If WWE had real vision, they would have offered contracts out to all the stars of ECW, WCW, and Smoky Mountain when they bought out WCW and opened regions up again under four groups: The Southwest, The Northwest, The Southeast and the Northeast. They could have used the AWA if they had a right to the name or just NWA if not for Northwest. They could have used the WCW name for Southeast. ECW would have been the flavor for the Northeast. Lastly, the Southwest could have been under the WCCW banner and they could have featured Rey Mysterio, Mark Henry, Undertaker, Booker T, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold Steve Austin and other hometown heroes as well as brought Kevin Von Erich in for appearances at commentary or just to wave to the fans. Each area would have been homed inside a themed wrestling amusement park like Six Flags or Dollywood. I know who I'd want running the Southeast territory if that had been the case: Jim Cornette with Arn and Dusty and others from that region working on committee. The wrestling would have surpassed any other territory even with those big stars I mentioned in Texas. Alas, it took the WWE some time to figure out their development system and many of the stars of the 90's when wrestling was the hottest thing on television were dead and gone. The era and opportunity had literally passed us by and all we got was that horrible invasion angle. Sad.

Corn E Dangerously!

WCW really pushed the Dangerous Alliance. They were even in the Marvel comic. I was thinking about Turner at the time and remembered Captain Planet: was the Yuppie villain on that show based on Paul E.? Had the pony tail, cell phone, and everything.

Rick Martel and Jim would have been a World Champion duo

Isn't it crazy how Corny can remember almost everything in his 40 year career, but Bischoff and Shitstain can't remember facts from 25 years ago.

Cornette needs to come back to WWE and be Solo’s wise man

Twenty thousand usd monthly gross in which is two hundred and forty thousand usd annually gross should be the minimum to travel for any business.

Cornette managing Rude would've resulted in riots.

If ever there was a guy who was way better off without a manager, it was Rick Rude... Same goes for Austin, he finally got over when he was allowed to speak for himself

These are the moments that reinforces why I am glad I never ruined wrestling for myself by subscribing to a gossip column.

Other than getting 🥔's from Samu In the SST, what connection does Cornette have with Samoans? There is only one "Wise Man", stop trying to put Cornette somewhere he has no place being. Nobody gives AF about a three decade old manger feud that fizzled out in less than 3 months.

Bro the last 10 minutes of this show is comedy gold. What an advertisement lol

I could list to Jim talk all day

Until Jim mentioned Heyman and started talkin bout bein a ringside manager I was thinking this video was goin be what if Jim was WCW general manager like Eric was 😅🤯

Hey Travis, liked you with Marvin and the gang last week. Hope you come back as soon as your schedule permits!

world cornette wrestling

Jim cornette was such a good heel manager lol he's a heel now I hear that in bruce Prichard's voice i hope I'm not the only one 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Corny Dangerously

I now see why Cornette always love going to The Township Auditorium in Columbia, SC , a certain ring rat lol

If Jim Cornette's was the main manager in wcw, that would have lasted longer. Plus, Bill Watts would come in later, and Bill liked Jim more than Hayman.

Corn E. Dangerously

Neither being exploited by nor exploiting the company doesn't compute with Paul Heyman.

Well Bobby Heenan on who shoot interview said that he hated work with Rick Rude who got that Bob was trying to steal his spotlight

Based on the timeline I’m totally picturing Rick Rubin meeting with Cornette and then driving to Red Hot Chili Peppers practice for preproduction of BSSM.

19:59 “See? TWO pictures on the cover” killed me

I honestly don’t believe Jim would had been good with watts cutting his pay at that time! I don’t know anyone that’s happy to have money taken away from them and their families

Paul E. Corneey

Kinda glad Cornette didn't come back because "The Corny Alliance" just doesn't have the same ring to it 😆

This has been one of the best bits! Made me laugh out loud!

You all still answer mail Questions?

King Kong vs Godzilla. The King Kong Show. The Godzilla Power Hour. Godzilla vs Kong.

Here's a question for Jim, is it possible wcw kept Bobby Eaton just to mess up any of Jim's plans

I enjoy these stories👍

I miss charlie from starks Mississippi or i think that was he name. I haven't heard that name in a long time.

Jim Cornetre could have saved WCW back in 1991 after he left in 1990

We all need Cornette to manage Jacob Fatu.

I’m trying to imagine Jim with a ponytail

The artwork!!!!

20:46 (tinfoilhatemoji)

I'd love to have seen Jim with Rick Rude.

Jim would fit so well as Solo’s wise man.

Now I need to find out why this artwork and what it has to do with the other monster flick artwork

Jim and Brian have savant-like memories about this stuff. 🎉

AEW needs to Hire Jim Cornette

You’re correct!!

Travis you freakin genius

hey brian

You should do video podcasts, your look is what sells everything.

Cornette was already out of date in 1991. Wcw was looking to the future not the 1970s.

I hate Harry’s

Jim I got a question for you. Why tf does Russo have a wrestling podcast show? I thought he hated professional wrestling and wants nothing to do with it..... bro!

Are you guys gonna discuss Paul Heyman getting powerbombed through a table? Brazzers even got in on it.

wyatt sicks came by

Rampage

Y'know maybe Dave has always been full of shit.
