Jim Cornette on Wrestlers Acting Like Idiots On Planes 

Absolutely

Yip 😂

reminds me of and old "dirty johnny" joke

Yup!

For sure lol

pfft security, this was the 80s

People actually had freedom back then

Well you lay out Corny's schizophrenia perfectly: If kayfabe kept wrestling real, then it should have demanded they make a scene everywhere publicly...and once that con ended and it became above board showbiz, THAT should have kept wrestler in line because everybody knew that TV was just an act.

That cruel ol stagger Lee!

Did something happen recently?

@@DaBears08 Other than that flight that was held up in Saudi Arabia, idk.

I don’t know why they hold people on the plane like that for 7 hours. Like let them off and back in the airport after an hour

You heard what ole jim Ross said?? Old

Not defending the boys (especially Flair) but any group of people having to wait for 7 HOURS would go crazy. And they drank the alcohol to pass the time, they would’ve still been restless and rowdy even without the alcohol. There wasn’t going to be a positive outcome at all

That was a good one

@@trahapace150 That was a good one

@@-nWo that was a good one

I would have love to see the pop that happened!

That was a good one?!

Shane Douglas went in.

Eh, Shane Douglas and Paul Roma aren't exactly the most reliable narrators.

@P1 Styles no what’s endeared people is their childish nostalgia

@P1 Styles history has proven Shane correct though so 🤷

@P1 Styles I don’t think Douglas is jealous at all. He really didn’t care about wrestling the same way other guys did. He was more than prepared to make money outside of the business. I’m not even a fan of his, but boiling all of it down to “he’s just jealous” is such a simplistic view. There’s much more nuance to this, but there’s always that section of wrestling fans who are only capable of simplistic thinking. The same people who think wrestling means as much to everyone else as it does to them.

Vince and Bischoff would usually let some guys get away with absolutely ANYTHING, like Shawn. Watts, Verne, and hell probably Fritz Von Erich would have fired him without much of a fuss.

Even just hearing the H-bomb stories floors me. I used to take a low dose of Halcyon for insomnia and that stuff knocked me on my ass for a good ten hours. I'm not a small guy either. I don't even want to know the doses those crappy doctors were giving these guys, and they're drugging each other's drinks with them?

@@TheNeonParadox Looks like I might need to try some of that, I get insomnia pretty bad sometimes.

@@maxxdahl6062 The grogginess and occasional blackouts aren't worth it, IMO. I'd recommend CBD or a low-moderate THC cannabis tea. Does the job for me these days.

@@TheNeonParadox I usually try sleep aids or tylonol pm or something like that but hasn't done much lately or just drinking myself stupid.

Tommy dreamer was salivating at it

@@thesupremepizzaking Roll tide!

Given this current timeline, Jim ain't wrong.

i ve heard people say that but i dont buy it he was in charge of the wwe wrestlers on that plane the buck stops with him period if knew the boys were going to act like cunts he should of said one of you fuckers drinks your history laid down the law what they going to do punch JR not a smart move for your career at that point in time.

He was with the company, he was just in developmental. He was there until 2005-06 I believe, then he slapped Santino which is what got him fired.

@@bjbawesome you're correct 2006. He would also still do WWE tvs on occasion until around then too. He just wasn't on the creative team with the Two Vinces or doing house shows with WWE because he was running OVW with Danny Davis

They would have behaved

Andre and Piper, yeah. Iron Shiek would fucking spend the whole flight cutting promos on some spilling something on him.

@@NEMtvOfficial the best part is Glen actually still used the quotation marks AFTER saying quote unquote.

I think it was Curt Hennig.

Nash said it was Curt. Funniest part is Kid had a photo shoot the next day. WWF didn't do that too often so the pics of Kid with no eyebrows went around for a while.

Savio Vega it was as he did it to Scott Hall too

@@kevthegoat8774 Nash said Savio cut Scott's mullet not eyebrows

@@bigchief5023 sorry for being so sensitive. And my sister ending her life has nothing to do with wrestling. But .. It makes me really disheartened the way people on that episode of dark side of the ring talk about those things. Sexual things they did. Because it destroys life's. I can tell you that first hand. And sorry again to you.I'm still mourning. Peace

Sorry for your loss, I can’t imagine how difficult that must have been for you and your family.

@@NickPoeschek She was a great friend and sister. And extremely smart. Anyways thank you. God bless you

@P1 Styles listen.. Rick flair in his hall of Fame speech made a reference to the plane ride from hell. And the stewardess is a convicted felon? But that's just part of it. Everyone on the plane said it happened!! Dustin , Gold dust ECT.. But my biggest problem is what rob Van damn said. Watch it again. And don't insult me. That's bullshit. That's why I apologized to the other guy. Don't say strong words hiding behind a phone or laptop

He sure sounded like it in that interview!

"Back when I was in college I did a spread for Playgirl magazine. And I mean SPREAD, like I pulled my butt cheeks apart and everything."

@@Cruising_On_Lake_Havasoma Mike Honcho

@@Cruising_On_Lake_Havasoma I like when the since deceased Peter Steele, the singer from Carnivore & Type O Negative posed for Playgirl. He later found out its audience was primarily gay men and he was a tall good looking guy and was hit on quite a bit. He had a twisted sense of humor, you should look up the lyrics to his song "I Like Goils" in response to being hit on by gay men.

Nah, go for the raunchiest gay porn mag you can find...watch Corny pee his pants when he wakes up and sees it...

Yeah, but you (or someone you know at least) would have had to buy the magazine first.

Because he's not the first (X-Pac with Sunny and Sable for instance) or the last to do it. And compared to the things others did, dropping a 💩 in a 👜 ranks a 2/10 at most.

A racket bent sideways to their head.

I would too. I hate heights, but I'm usually pretty comfortable on planes. That would freak me out pretty quickly.

@@vasili1207 He's usually the cause of shitty things happening. So probably a good idea.

@@maxxdahl6062 Yeah, like a functioning economy and not foreign policy disasters. What a travesty 🤡

@@SpaceGhost92 Lol yeah he recieved a functioning economy and managed to give the rich another tax cut. Such wonderous presidenting. lol

I'd make an effort as well to at least dress up on the few times I've gotten on a plane. And then I see someone in front of me wearing a wifebeater shirt, floppy shorts (not quite boxer briefs but still above the knee) and in flip-flops no socks.

Exactly 💯😂

Or a undisciplined kid next to you kicking, crying, jumping up and down in the seat then spills a whole cup of Sprite in your crotch!! And I was looked at like I am the a-hole by people around me when I said to the flight attendant to let me move. 🤬🙄

That’s because they let wild chimps on planes now

What a shame. I miss the days when getting on the bejeezing bus was an exercise in seeking approval from guys like you. Now we just get on the bus without having our outfits inspected by anyone and go to where we're going. We really lost something there.

That’s baby shit compared to the band Mayhem.

@@mecharidley and GG Allin sneers at Mayhem.

@@charleybarley914 Nope, nothing tops Mayhem. GG Allin is top 5 though.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@mecharidley If your talking shit then GG Allin is the all time champion. Mayhem gets the nod if it is murder and church burnings.

It’s too bad it didn’t stay good natured and low harm like the stuff he mentioned. Joking around is cool but the shit from this plane ride is insane that a person ever thought it was cool to do.

@P1 Styles If that means you would pull your pants down and expose yourself on an airplane you being nuts is your problem, not everyone else's. The people who work at the airport or for the airline's or the cab and van drivers taking them to and from the airport are not in the wrestling business. They do not need to know about wrestling ribs and do not have to put up with morons whipping their penises out, trying to drug people, getting into fist fights or whatever other juvenile nonsense someone with arrested development wants to get into.

Which wrestlers brings there kids to the planes?? They had pedos flash aka a fan and was ok with it

@@fightsports66 if you are pantsed you do not pull your junk out. Someone being pantsed in front of me would not make me angry. If someone intentionally puts their own junk in my face then anger. You seemed to have missed that distinction in your reply to him. And cornette talks about that. Pranker(pantser), the pranked(pantsed), and innocent bystander(seated person) make it funny. There is no sexual gratification, so nobody should care if a child sees it. The child has likely seen their own and/or dad's and it will not traumatize a 0-13yr old, and older than that has gone through sex ed. TLDR version. Nobody is harmed, quit whining.

@P1 Styles Your the one who will be crying when they put you in a padded cell for flashing people, weirdo.

Don't involve outsiders in your insider crap. It's as simple as that. You're nothing but an annoyance to them. Nobody thinks it's funny or "charming" to be dragged into other peoples' insider group dynamics and "rituals". It's obnoxious. I don't know why that simple rule is so hard to process for some people. It's like nobody taught them anyting as children, including how to behave in a public environment. That P1 Whatever guy sounds like he's socially retarded, in the actual sense of that word. Nobody wants to have any "natural part" of yours in their field of vision on an airplane. Or in any other public environment. No wonder the majority of wrestlers, at least from the era discussed here, are nothing but pathetic fuckups in real life when they have to leave the wrestling bubble.

Go into the air and SPEEEEEEEEEN

Flew back from Viet Nam twice. It was quiet the whole time. It was a time to reflect. Men behaving like men.

Anytime we flew back from Iraq we never acted up. Our NCOs would kill us if we did. We tried to act like professionals as best we could.

I doubt it, all you have to do is not come off like an asshole and your fine. Had dreamer not said that one part he would have walked away just fine. Plus there are a ton of wrestlers who want to get their story out there....they love to talk

I doubt it. Guys that are smart enough to know it could jeopardize their contracts or runs (like Flair, Hall and Xpac) already don't appear. The idiots like Dreamer who legit don't see anything wrong with sex assault are going to stooge themselves on TV just so they can be on TV, then wonder why they get suspended the next week.

@P1 Styles “all the time”

@P1 Styles He said if she wanted the truth to come out she should have gone to trial, not take a settlement. He did not state "it never happened", he hand waived it as being what wrestlers did at the time. He also stated Flair always did that and it was to be expected. I love wrestling man, but the people we grew up idolizing for the most part were horrible fucking people. Blaming someone for not wanting to relive a traumatic experience by having to go through a long court battle isn't an automatic dismissal of their claims. Dreamer essentially discounts what she said because she didn't. Fuck em, he's a relic.

They will still get guys who are bitter at the WWE and want nothing to do with them, there are plenty. Corny for one. Others like Shane Douglas, Rene Dupree, Honky Tonk Man offhand come to mind and I am sure there are countless others.

All those guys had stints in WWF in late 80s early 90s. So your theory doesn’t hold up.

@@fritzer84 The connection is they were AWA scumbags

Hayes and Bradshaw were among the worst too so might as well blame Texas too. An A Hole is an A Hole no matter where they are from.

You would imagine. Seems like all of them have skeletons in their closest. But I think a lot of the reason this hasn’t really happened before is because usually these episodes are about people who are dead. So there isn’t someone who’s pissed off to then expose you.

@Joshua Sharwood Apparently that lawsuit got thrown out cause none of the other wrestlers or SportJet employees could verify her claim.

Im sure there’s still some dark shit going on, but you can’t argue that it’s much harder to keep shit secret these days so it behooves them to tone it down. Plus, from what little bit I’ve seen, this new generation is just different, “softer” if you will. You know how many wrestlers action figures collections I’ve seen at this point? Hahaha. These are the kids that grew up on the mainstream, prime time product, not crazy, smoke filled house shows in bumfuck Arkansas.

@@henrygvidonas9573 actually I listened for 2 minutes while eating. It was boring

There is a difference between defending someone and theorising why they could have done it. Although Jim and Brian do operate on a lot of confirmation bias and favouritism, so I really can't fault anyone for branding them as hypocrites sometimes

@@CaptainMonotone448 I get it, but it was absolutely defending him because they pointed out several times Ric didn't mean any harm by it and he would be mortified if he ever thought he hurt or offended someone.

Exactly! I wouldn't have put up with any of that bullshit if I ran the company! But from what I got from the episode, JR was essentially Vince's bitch. Vince would tell JR to go and sort stuff out rather than doing it himself.

Even still the boss and HIS WIFE are on the plane! You would think Linda would have said something to Vince .

@@dab7547 I know! But that just goes to show the culture in the WWE that Jim is talking about in this vid. Vince probably had the attitude of "boys will be boys" and seeing as there's stories of him getting up to jokes on flights he set the standard. I mean the fact that Mr.Pecfect got fired and Brock Lesnar was not only left alone but also still given his push and the title says it all! Yeah mr.perfect started it but Brock took it too far!

They were definitely on the flight to the U.K., I am not sure if they were on that flight back.

@@fightsports66 I'm pretty certain Terri Renals said in DSOTR that she was in the first class areas with Vince, Linda and JR on the way back. I'd have to watch the episode again to be certain.

@Joshua Sharwood yeah I was talking about Jim's and oh okay that makes since

@Joshua Sharwood A lot of times they flew from one show to another, then flew back to yet another closer to their home base/area. They didn't always fly to go directly home afterwards.
