Jim Cornette on The Fake Razor Ramon 

I haven't cared about wrestling in 20 years...Corettes's stories have brought me back. Shits funny.

Cornette doing the Diesel horn in the entrance theme. LMAO.

The 4 worst words in professional wrestling ....."Vince had an idea"

RIP fake Razor aka Rick Bognar.

This caricature of Bogner has me crying laughing

Fantastic Vince impression

As usual, the artwork is perfect!

I'd love to go for a Wendy's triple with extra cheese with Jim

"I didn't even know this guy was still alive to be honest." Well that aged well.

This wqs the best Vince impression I've ever heard

The idea is from Vince's lawyer Jerry McDivitt from when they sued WCW because Scott Hall was acting like razor when he showed up on Nitro. WCW ended up paying out $2 Million from the suit, which Vince would later use to buy WCW.

Funnily enough, after Fake Razor left WWF...he looked and acted much more like the real article.

Corny does a better impersonation of Vince than Pritchard lol.

Mike Awesome was the Gladiator.

I'd rather watch fake razor today than anything WWE puts out today

Obscurity, Alberta HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

FYI ,he was Big Titan.

"Have him 2 of the stupidest gimmicks " 😂

Hey mister Jim cornette my name is David King have a big wrestling fan as everybody is that will probably listens to your podcast I think you do a great job and I enjoy listening to you talk about all different topics on wrestling PSU give me a lot of confidence being a person that's born with Cerebral Palsy in the wheelchair thank you very much

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

The Gladiator was Mike Awesome

I remember watching the hunting show that aired before livewire in anticipation for it. As a kid, I never managed my time well (as expected) and livewire would fill me in on anything I had missed.

There has been a couple more Razor Ramons since Rick "Fake Razor Ramon"/ "Razor Ramon II" Bogner though these Razor Ramons are part of Japanese wrestling. The ringname of these Razor Ramons? Razor Ramon HG (played by Masaki Sumitani) and Razor Ramon RG (played by Makoto Izubuchi). The two of them met each other in college through pro wrestling and they would later form a comedy duo called Razor Ramon after being inspired by Scott Hall's Razor Ramon character.

But my employer gave me a roll to play

Coincidentally as of this comment he no longer is alive

Fake diesel should've been called unleaded

Was it Cornette or Lawler who made Glenn Jacobs a walking Christmas tree? Seriously, you have a monster on your hand and he is a tree?

I love how he calls Shit stain just being a Mark. Lol

It was because Vince saw the wrestlers as characters so in his mind he was recasting Razor Ramon and Diesel. Just like in movies when they sometimes recast a character with a different actor.

I honestly think Vince just gets a kick out of wrestler impersonations. The WWE has done it countless times. Sometimes with midgets, sometimes with comedy jobbers like Damien Sandow

brian last sounds like matt striker

I think Vince was thinking along the lines of a Hollywood Movie.... like how James Bond can be recast and the franchise can keep on going. Fans will accept a new actor as James Bond. Seems like he thought that recasting Razor and Diesel would be like switching from Sean Connery to Roger Moore.

The story about the Fake Diesel is better

RIP Fake Razor.

theres more than 1 internet and their various? how do i get to check those out?

Jim Rick Bogner was Big Titan and he lives in Calgary. He was once my boss at world health club

I was like 14 and a total Mark when Nash and Hall went to WCW. Razor Ramon was my favorite wrestler, and when he showed up on the other channel as Scott Hall, and then a fake version of him showed up on raw, honestly that killed being a wrestling fan for me.

RIP Rick

Ironically, Fake Razor actually had a better Cuban accent than Scott Hall and Fake Diesel was a way better wrestler than Kevin Nash 😂.

Such good shit!

He was in USWA as Rick Titan

"He did get the most you can get out of that name, Diesel." Well, Jesse Pinkman got a temporary rep as a murderer by ATM out of it on "Breaking Bad".

i kinda liked the rip off gimmicks... good fun and a good piss take. Live Wire in the uk use to be a Raw highlights show which was great because not all of us were able to watch Raw due to the extra subscription costs.

1:20 Mike Awesome, he was one of the dudes, who tried out for WWF on Beyond the Mat, right ? Actually, Jim Cornette watched him wrestle in one scene and was pretty complimentary if I recall. It was the first time I ever saw Cornette and I remember thinking, "what a nice guy ! Giving this young new wrestler some big props, and in front of Vince McMahon no less". I was like 12 years old when I saw it. And Jim is still a very decent individual. He's definitely straightforward, but the fact that he was so cool to a clearly nervous Mike Awesome on what must have been incredibly nerve wracking night, that is just a good move. Dunno how Russo reacted. Or what he thought. But the way Cornette - and JR too - treated those two wrestlers trying out for the WWF, shows that those two were, and are, good people. Good hearted. Just don't keep him waiting in a Wendy's drive thru.

He just passed away recently

He was Big Titan. Lol

Wow......The artist portrayal of Fake Razor actually looks like an artistic interpretation of a Fake Razor Ramon......without reading the Title.

Poor bogner got the verbal smackdown in closing

Down in Obscurity, Alberta.

(Looks at pants) FUUUUNNNKKKK!

"Shit-stain" - ROTFLMAO

Rick Titan, Big Titan

😂🤣 Shit-Stain= Vince Russo

"He says you're a loudmouth & think you know everything?" accurate.

Chico Ramon

This is stupid because Rick Bognor AKA Rick Titan joined the NWO Japan. He only had to quite wrestling because of a neck injury! He would have made it bigger if he didn't get hurt. May the poor man RIP.

Rick Hunter was the original Gladiator...

"Oozing machismo?" More like LOSING machismo.

RIP Rick the fake razor

You know you hate somebody when you keep bringing them up in a story that has nothing to do with them

I guess I am the only one that didn't mind the angle of fake Diesel and Fake Razor. I thought it was a great knock, for them leaving WWF. Oh well, people always say, I am a little off.

Vince thought he could do like a 007 style switch...He should have known better but especially with Scott/Razor. Scott Hall had an edge. The way he walked, talked, just everything about him worked for playing the Razor character. (The more you learn about his personal life it's not hard to see why lol but that's another story). Not to mention he was one of my favorite workers of all time. It looked so damn real when he was in the ring. He's a one of a kind talent. Glen Jacobs could have had success with a Diesel type character had Kevin Nash never existed, but neither Bognar or anyone else could have been anywhere near as huge as Scott Hall/Razor. No one.

The Gladiator was Mike Awesome. Big titan was fake Razor.

That's so werid that in May of 2019 Bognar came out and said that about Cornette. By the time October came about that year, he was dead. That so weird he popped up and made comments like that just months before he died. So strange.

He was taller than Scott Hall because he was almost the height on Kane

I got a kick out of this gimmick 😄

6 moves with the hair flip

Ric Titan was his name.

Funny Pic alert.

Idk what Cornette is talking about once again, Livewire was a great show. It was designed to get certain characters over and to show their promo skills. Also it gave fans the chance to interact by calling in.

I'm literally, the only person that enjoyed fake razor and diesel back in the day. Cant explain why, I just did.

The horrible angle terrified WCW and they bumped up Hal's and Nash's already lucrative salary by an extra 500,000 dollars a year lmfao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Bruce’s impression of Vince is way better than cornettes.

For cornette to say he didn’t know that he was still alive.... with his contacts in the business... that guy stopped wrestling

RIP Rick Bognar ...i guess...?

Cornette face would have made perfect sense

I actually liked this idea. It should have worked

420th comment! That's to RVD

He actually died in September 2019.

Fake Diesel was kane

Rick is in bootlucker, oil worshiping Alberta.

Vince was sitting on the toilet. I would blame this on shit stain. LOL!

Hey, YO. The REAL Razor would jab that fake, wannabe chico up.

I thought Bogner died a few year ago.

Jim cornette sounds like a foul mouthed tent preacher.

As a kid. I really really hated Jim Cornette. Hated him. A testament to how good of a heel he could be. Now I love hearing him talk about wrestling. The stories are my favorite. Today's wrestling shows are so bad, I can't stand to hear someone recap them. Even if that person is knowledgeable about the business, and an entertaining speaker.

Brilliant fake razor drawing with fat chin and all

Nothing to do with Russo, can't stop mentioning russo... that's a mental thing yall, he's obsessed

Hey flooooooo....

Calls off work for his dead rat

Bogner is dead

Huh... I just realizedbthat back in the AOL days, one of the admins on the WWF on AOL section was WWFRusso. I had no clue who Russo was. I could only think of Renee Russo. I even spoke with him a few times through instant message. I wonder if I was talking to shitstain. Man AOL was fun as an 11 year old new to the internet.

RIP he died.

The Fake Razor and Diesel thing is arguably the worst thing the WWF ever did. I still don't quite understand what the idea was. Were we supposed to think these were the real guys when any idiot could switch the channel to TNT and see the real guys on Nitro? It wasn't like Hall and Nash had vanished from wrestling, quite the opposite in fact. And it isn't like Razor and Diesel are masked or face painted wrestlers where you don't quite know what they look like. It was obvious these were different guys. Were we supposed to know they were fakes and JR was a dastardly villain because he said he would bring back Razor and Diesel but lied to us? And is there anything more bush league then giving a gimmick to another guy? Can you imagine if when Flair went to the WWF that WCW just put some blonde guy out there and said he was Ric Flair? It really came across like the WWF was scared because they had never appeared to really care that a member of their roster had gone somewhere else before. Earlier in the year they had the Huckster and the Nacho Man so they did a parody, which they had never done before, and then moved on to just outright counterfeits. It was pathetic.

What was Diesel's gimmick anyways?

R.I.P. Big man Richard Bogner. Known as the fake impostor razor ramon. Its sad he passed away at 49 years of age way to young and had full of life. I enjoyed his time in wwe when he teamed up with kane as the impostor versions of diesel and razor ramon in the 90s. To many young wrestlers passed away to young from Brian Adams aka crush to Sean ohaire to the renegade to Adam firestorm to viscera aka mabel to Mr yamaguchi San kaientai manager from the wwf attitude era. Richard Bogner you will be missed and I hope u are at peace now. I hope one day wwe inducts him in the hall of fame and have his former partner and friend kane to induct him.

It's kinda funny how Bogner died a few months after this segment, especially since Jim remarked how he thought the man was dead, lol!

hes no razor ramon hard gay thats forsure

They give you a role to play and it sucked

Didn't fake razor go on to be deuce or domino in that bullshit getup?
