Jim Cornette on Seth Rollins Being Attacked By A Fan In Brooklyn 

I was there live and it was a wild scene. As security was escorting this guy out another fan actually attacked him! They escorted both of them out and let the second fan back in about 10 to 20 minutes later. This is the second time something like this has happened in Brooklyn with the first being the attack on Bret Hart at the Hall of Fame in 2019.

I just hope the day comes that someone tries lesnar. It'd be the greatest 5 seconds of entertainment since the dawn of time

It's the Dimebag Rule. Keeping the public away from the performers has to be a near-top priority, otherwise the security team is doing it wrong.

*When it happened on raw my immediate thought was "HOLY SHIT... Eddie Kingston listened to JIM!!!*

It's been stated that the fan who attacked Seth got scammed from a fake Seth Rollins account and took his anger out of Seth himself.

Came to listen to Jim & Brian's take on the incident, and a 45minute history lesson broke out. Now that's a Thanksgiving!!

Meng would have done every form of Mortal Kombat fatality except friendship.

If that fan would have done this in 80’s Mid South in a locker room with guys like Hercules, Butch Reed and Steve Williams, it would have looked like a friendly snuff film.

Yeah, Seth Rollins went too easy on the fan. If he wanted to put the fan to sleep, he could have just showed him a Chavo Guerrero match.

Could genuinely listen to Corny telling wild ass wrestling stories all day long. Incredible upload as usual.

“Your jugular is mine!” - Haku 😂

I was apart of the security team for this year's Wrestlemania and I can say this with all truth and honesty, majority if not all of the security teams that are contracted for these arenas are absolute trash. Most of them are old/out of shape and in no physical condition to prevent any person from committing things such as hopping a barricade. A few of them are only there to see glimpses of the wrestlers and have no genuine care for the safety of both the audience members and the in-ring performers. And then there are the ones who are only there for a easy paycheck and will do everything they can to do as little as possible. If WWE wants to prevent further incidents such as this from happening again, they are better off hiring their own full security team or doing a better job of vetting their contracted security team for the arena that they will be performing in.

I really have to compliment Jim on his memory and recall. I don’t remember things that happened to me last week with this much detail!

People tend to forget how Dimebag Darrel was killed, a nut jumped on stage and shot him point blank during a show, what if this guy who went after Seth had a gun? They need to step up security, and stop acting like all the fans are nice people.

Yeah Haku wasnt exactly the best example lol. He would've moved the security like children and done a Mortal Kombat fatality on the fan in front of God and everyone.

“Can’t afford to hire more security, pal. We’ve got shareholders to pay!!” 🙄

18:00 let us not ignore the visual of Dusty Rhodes crossbodying 4 cops 😂😂😂😂

Brian laughing is a real mood lifter 🤣🤣🤣🤣

HE DID IT FOR DAH ROCK !!

I laughed till I cried hearing Brian laugh when Corny called Babydoll a F.F.P 😂

I was at a show in the 80s and saw some idiot fan jump Ole Anderson on the way to the ring and legit thought Ole killed the guy.

Travis's artwork stays UNDEFEATED! Great work

If a mark tried that on Haku, Haku would have killed him, brought him back to life, only to kill him again!

This is the 2nd time in 3 years a WWE star has been physically attacked at the Barclay's. If I was Vince, I'd probably wait a couple years before going back there, until that building gets their shit together

The first thought that crossed my mind was, "corny called for this." Legit like a week before it happened. I have been waiting for this episode.

Did anyone see that the attacker’s backstory is that he was catfished by “Seth Rollins” for money, and dude legit thought it was the real Seth who stole his money. Crazy.

I liked how Seth came out later looking around on the ramp.

That would be a slow day in Mid South.

I am hardly Seth's biggest fan, but I cannot see how you can fault him in this instance.

I remember back during the Attitude Era they'd have these random moments of plant fans getting smacked around by wrestlers. I remember Kane and the Acolytes had moments like this. I wonder because of the audience going back to a more adult age group if it was like some warning to say, "don't try this or else."

Tacoma Dome, 1987, Huge rocker dude ( about 6'5 300lbs) Blindside's Rude with the hardest punch I'd ever seen... Security had to stop Rude.

One of my favorite stories is by Kevin Nash talking about Jaffa Mosque. A fan went for Corny and Jim used his racquette and nailed the guy right down the center of his face. Kevin's impression that it was "old school" and shit was on lol. You can watch it on one of those Wrestling's Greatest Managers or worst heel videos. They are in RU-vid. It's a countdown from 5.

it's to seth's credit that he didn't get hot and attack the guy in the heat of the moment. he somehow did the minimum, keeping himself safe and not roughing the guy up, which would be bound to have bad optics if it emerges that there's mental health issues at play. really the best outcome anyone could have hoped for. Just hope WWE see it that way

19:50 lmao 🤣 😂 😂!!

The fact that Chavo tried to mock Rollins for getting blindsided is sad. Too bad they don’t let the stars retaliate. I understand why tho.

This is the same building where the fan attacked Bret Hart at the Hall of Fame 2019.

i was there at the Barclays center were it happened. He was sitting 2 rows ahead of me, he jumped from the side and it’s a straight path to the entrance way the wrestlers come out from . Jim is exactly right . But what made it more easier is that the area was EMPTY I wish I could attach a photo. The area is dark because the seats were empty

Anytime we get a Brian Last laughing fit, it’s a good clip.

Props to the refs for jumping in there. And damn, Brian almost died during that Babydoll story. 🤣

The 'impulse' word Jim was looking for is 'spontaneous'

Bro I dont even watch wrestling anymore, but I'll listen to Jim Cornette anyday. Man's hilarious.

I know they won't let Jim do creative ever again, but at least let him do a seminar for wrestlers on being attacked by fans. Few have more experience.

This entire spot was a Stephen P New ad. Fantastic promo! 🤣🤣🤣🔥

The John Madden of fan attacks. I feel like Brian isn’t getting enough kudos for this jewel.

Brooklyn was apparently a wild crowd. they had the incident with Seth and that guy. then after the show during the dark match. Montez Ford and MVP dared another fan to jump over the barricade to fight.

When the “It’s Still Real to Me!” Meme is still real to someone. Glad Seth wasn’t stabbed or worse.

That art of the cop looks like the cop from the sandlot... FOREV-ER!

First think I thought when I saw it, Corny is going to be mad Tyler Black didn’t fuck him up 😂

From what I understand, and this could be wrong, the guy who did it got scammed by a fake Seth Rollins account on social media and then ended up blaming the real Seth Rollins. He went live on Facebook or Instagram before the show started and you can hear him saying "This is how I'm gonna do it." and he's talking to security guards and stuff.

"Nobody has real heat today any more" - Jim Cornette

Gulf Coast Coliseum description is highly accurate. 😂🤣

For the record seth was trying for a gullitine which with him not expecting it, the guy being gassed and seth being so strong he could of hurt him badly he didn't just lie down

Dax Hardwood was daring fans to jump over at last night’s Dynamite during the commercial break

I could listen to Cornette talk about the old days of when guys would get REAL fan heat. So fascinating, and told with gusto and exuberance!

J&J security must have had the night off

I agree with Brian to a point. “Wrestler beats the shit out of idiot fan who jumped the rails” has a better look than “poor, helpless, scared wrestler gets attacked by fan :(“.

Pretty funny that shortly after Jim Cornette mentions how wrestling fans no longer get so riled up to attack the wrestlers (as was common in the 70s and 80s)... that very thing happens.

I can see this being a two-parter. The mental aspect is definitely correct from the promo that the guy dropped once he got out of lockup, but the backstory is just so weird of him getting scammed and his girlfriend getting locked up because of a setup by the scammer. Then, throw in the fact that the guy had been brooding on social media for two years without people taking notice to what was happening. It is a sad situation, and I don't know that the fan has the mental capacity to ever understand the truth.

Can people give seth rollins credit for staying in character after the melee. Very professional on seth

"Like Mussolini and Seth Rollins!"

I saw his social media page. It had FATU on the name. He did it...for...THE ROCK!!!

Jim talking about getting taken down is like going down in a mosh pit. Once you realize you're going down, that's scary shit. Luckily, most real pits - someone will instantly get you back up.

13:59 to 14:29 cornette is doing his best to explain the situation and brian is in full tough guy mode lmfao

Id like to hear a compilation of interviews from those police from back in the day in various territories ! Probably be hard to track them down , but would be interesting to hear their side !

rumor has it the fan screamed out "i did it for jim cornette!!!" right before he exited the barclays center in handcuffs what a savage!

Pat Mcafee asking Brock if anyone had done that to him. "Oh I fucking dare someone to try it"

The cop in the thumbnail looks like Sgt Slaughter

I’m no fan of his, but I have to admire Seth’s restraint in not laying in to the guy - I’m pretty sure that Seth could have knocked this guys teeth down his throat in a shoot fight situation, and the instinct to do just that was probably there, but he chose to no-sell it and let the crew deal with it instead - hats off to him for that, because most wrestlers would have lost their cool and wanted to save face in those circumstances

It's a good thing the guy didn't have a weapon on him. At least there were no serious injuries, but WWE really needs to do something about their security of lack thereof. There will always be a couple of idiotic, drunk fans out there that can't tell the difference between fiction and reality. I wouldn't be surprised if the guy wasn't all there to begin with, either.

The private security had the Patrick Swayzie Road House rules of taking out someone. "Be Nice"

I saw people talking about this just after it happened, but I missed it. I did manage to see the clip earlier today though.

That fan actually speared Rollins pretty damn good.

19:50 That is one of the the best Brian Laugh Outbursts on the show I've ever heard

I read somewhere that if you’re in fear of your life you are allowed to defend yourself with no legal repercussions in the state of New York.

In a month this "fan" will be All Elite!!! Was it only me when I thought that "fan" attacking Seth Rollins was actually ROH's Shane Taylor's debut to the WWE? Maybe the Vine McMahon and the WWE let this fan come out because the WWE did not have anyone other performers available with all the talent being released.

Saw a guy rush Terry Funk back in the day it didn't end well for the fan.

One of the fans should jump the rail and try attacking Brock Lesnar.

35:27 Did.... Dennis & Corny give that fan a.... **wait for it** ..... ... . A JCE-Trigger?! 🤣🤣🤣

Imagine if it would've been Eddie Kingston instant 😂😂😂😂

Anytime something happens in wrestling I’m excited to hear Jim and Brian talk about it.

If Seth would've hit that fan once the staff had the situation under control, it would've been just like Jericho taking his cheap shot on the AEW fan. Unneccessary and proves nothing lol. Good for Seth for showing restraint

I thought the guy in the suit was Jimmy Wang Yang

The security should be fired...first the egg was stolen and then, this..

Even if he did see it coming, in this modern era, you can't get into a brawl with fans, even if it's the fans' fault. That way now leads to a lawsuit and possible criminal charges. I'm no particular fan of Seth a lot of the time, but that's not his fault.

Why's cornette getting arrested by joey ryan? Did he refuse to TOUCH IT?

damn theres a commercial every 6 mins....Your killing me Last

Happy🍁Thanksgiving Corny!!!!

Special Ed took Seth out!

I was attacked by a leprechaun one Saturday morning back in the 70s while watching Isis for being magically delicious.

Vince: "We need to hire security to watch those dark corners of the building? Where will that money come from? I guess we'll have to release more talent.

The mental image of corny battling with fans is hilarious

I can't believe Jim had another fan run in the show. Its always Jim's fault.🤣 If Rollins had a bad ass manager with a tennis racket maybe it would have ended differently.

WWE and AEW need to tell the people in charge of the arenas that they need to tighten their security more. Wrestlers shouldn't be subjected to the stupid actions of fans like this. From what I heard on Twitter. This is the same arena Bret Hart got attacked when he was getting inducted in the HOF.

Hehehe Brian's New Yorker came out right there. They are holding him kick him in the face!

"Thats when you kick him in the fucking face." Amen.

This is at least the third time a fan has tried to fuck with Rollins by jumping the rail. You can’t help but feel bad for the guy when this kinda stuff keeps happening.

he took advice that was for Eddie Kingston

I was born in Brownsville. Also, is that Joey Ryan in the thumbnail?

If Seth attacked the guy while the guy was being restrained that would be assault, but if he attacked him while he had him in the headlock that would be self defense. The key difference is opportunity, restrained the guy has no opportunity to hit/hurt Seth, but unrestrained (being restrained by Seth himself does not count, because that is still the 2 engaging) the guy has an opportunity to hit/hurt Seth.

I've been dying to hear Corny talk about this since it first happened
