Jim Cornette Picks His 2021 WWE Roster 

I died in that part lol

@@chicken31947 hi brian

LMAO

I immediately thought of Dan Lebatard when he said that.

@@tylermcnally8232 you don't even have that

I know Jim is not a game guy, but when I think there's a video out there where 2 guys play TEW with Vince Russo and nothing with Jim Cornette.... yeah, it sinks in.

​@Lord Mortimer it's awesome because we see why jim was correct about how bad vince was a booking

Ikr I was expecting Drew in Top 8 but when I heard Bronson & Damien I thought it was interesting & very fresh

@@RafaelSantos-di5yw Yeah, cos Drew's wouldnt be hurt if put in his position, he'd still be credible and since how now how to work even if he'd be older he'd definitively adapt his style and would be able to work at least one more decade.

1 singles title

@@brianwait5458 no midcard titles?

@@calinmarian98 no, check out the previous video where jim and brian goes through the wwe roster then their is like 20 champs and he goes on a rant. He wants one male champ, one female champ and one mens tag champs

@@brianwait5458 no 24/7? You've got some guts.

@@dotard0075 the 24/7 championship is garbage

You should also check out the smackdown 6.

@@GromitTheLegend smackdown 6 was so good one of my favorite periods of wrestling

@@GromitTheLegend Yeah, literally the same mentality and it's widely recognised as the best era of the SmackDown show.

@@GromitTheLegend that’s why I loved my childhood wrestling you had stone cold the rock, undertaker, Kane, brock lesner, hhh doing all the major stuff and then directly underneath you had another 6 guys who were tearing the house down and could easily be elevated to face off in a good match with the main top guys.

Need more than 4 in a division cause rematches will get boring fast. And there needs to be heavy talent rotation with people having *real* opportunity to move up based on fan reaction.

I got that same vibe about Brian . Was nice to hear Jim was really into it.

You guys are being more optimistic about Brian's level of interest than I am (haha and you're NOT being optimistic at all) because I think Brian was really annoyed with this whole concept, and was hoping that Corny would just drop the whole thing after they spent SO MUCH TIME on it last week. If I remember, last week they spent 45 minutes on it, correct? Brian seemed irritated when Jim brought it up again. Lol

Crazy thing is, Corny comes up with little things off the top of his head that make you say "Yeah, I'd actually like to see that", like using Bayley "as Charlotte's JJ Dillon" while she is out injured. He really does have a great mind for creative.

@@thomass789 Some of Corny's "throwaway" thoughts are gold.

Austin is a potential mega star IF booked correctly. He looks like a million bucks, he's a great worker and his character work is awesome.

@@marcespinoza6068 Needs to go back to the short hair, long blue tights, and the old theme with “All Day” at the beginning

I bet you do

@@chicken31947 It looks like they're bringing him up to the main roster.

I've said this before, take Edge, Orton, Theory & Riddick Moss (who's still on the roster) and make them a new version of Evolution. Just bring Edge over to RAW via the draft. Orton's already there. I suspect they're calling up Theory from NXT. And just yell down to catering and have Moss join them.

He wouldn't understand how to work it

@@mulletman6298 have him just do EWR

As awesome as this would be, I cant imagine Jim figuring out TEW lmao

@@RichboyJhae hell Brian could do it for him and Jim just tells him what to do and who to sign and stuff. Imagine him using a 1995 mod and saving SMW Fr it’d be great

Fr, now I want to see Cole & O'Reilly vs the entire tag division and Orton vs Theory.

If Jim gets to book again, rest assured Omega and The Bucks will counter and try to prove him wrong.

When they were hyping up the "BIschoff vs Heyman" thing with Smackdown & Raw I was hoping for Cornette to take Bischoff's spot.

Guys used in the way Jim described are the ones you use as Face or Heel depending on what they need to be at the time.

They weren’t thin for very long we’re they!

are those the parents of Dominik Mysterio?

She looked like a lesbian singer name K.D Lang when she was getting radio and TV plays in the early '90s.

I think of it more as an Inoki chin

You realize he doesn't draw it right? It's created on computer. But yea they are good ones

She got the green Goblin chin

dont know why im getting shang tsung vibes from the bayley image 🤣

Lol 😂

Can't forget the Briscoe boys on the tag list

Kyle and Bobby need to be a team again.

I would take Jay Lethal in a heartbeat no questions asked

Many podcast ago he did say he would be open to making one of these rosters of outside wwe talent.. he never did it, but now that he did this wwe one and if he do an aew one next week as planned i could see him doing an overall roster of all wrestlers 😉

I would pass on Jay Lethal due to all the accusations against him over the last few years

Guessing wildly he cuts Bucks, Omega, Pockets and Dwarfo

He would close it

He'll fire everyone and start fresh😂

He likes FTR, Britt, Hangman, Scorpio, Kaz, Daniels, Christian, Darby and a few more though

He'll fire everyone immediately and close down, fastest fantasy booking video

Nah, he'll job out to Swerve just to spite us.

If he loses to Theory he’s definitely buried lol

Its nxt it doesn’t matter what happens there. Usually those used less on nxt, have a brighter future on main roster.

Wasn't he one of the guys called up for the dark matches? He's way less green that Omos and General Whatever, so if those were called up prematurely, maybe we'll see good ol' Oddisey Jones in the main roster sooner rather than later.

Odyssey?? Ohhhh, the big dude in the NXT Breakout Tournament. Gotcha.

Aew can stack up against wwes roster anyday only difference is wwe has taller people

@@scooterduncan3262 neither active roster (not counting wwe's attractions like Brock, Cena and taker) has any real stars

@@mulletman6298 reigns Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks are stars. My mom knows who Becky Lynch is

@@jgeorge2693 Not on the level of Cena or Brock, they move tickets and are wide mainstream

@@envi2273 punk and Danielson

No let John Cena comes once a year Brock has a personality as stale 🥖 John Cena has personality

@@franklinrichardson757 wouldn’t make it more effective to have him once a year And cena more often

@@franklinrichardson757 boombox Brock was lit

@@franklinrichardson757 but brock has better in-ring work. If only we could combine them. Someone with Cena's charisma and pull and Brock's technical proficiency.

I know Brock has a ammeter back ground and he can do the mat game and he can be a shooter I know Cena isn’t that great when it comes to the basic skills at his age now he can still can go at 45 but if Brock can cut some weight maybe he can last longer in the ring

When he starts going into things like this and booking and psychology of how to run it and how he’s going to get people over and make them stars is some of the best content he puts out! I really enjoy this stuff too

@LJ54 It actually is. Nobody believes Raw and Smackdown are two different companies, they are all under the WWE umbrella. There should not be multiple world champions because then that devalues the belts and confuses people. The NFL has dozens of teams, but they only have one "championship".

> legendary He had Dixie Dy-no-mite, a Confederate luchador, as a babyface in SMW in the 90s.

I choose option no.2

He has talked about them teaming before and being confused that they broke them up

Would they though?? It wouldn't last long. Jim is totally ignoring the huge child audience that shows up to WWE shows. You have to have something to also draw them in because THAT'S where most of your merchandise revenue comes from: kids who get their parents to buy their favorite wrestling merchandise. That's why the New Day and John Cena got so over and both made a TON of money off if merchandise sales, especially the New Day. Jim complains about their "goofy gimmick", but misses the fact that those 3 guys were over like hell, could put on good matches, were entertaining and drew money. That's why Vince kept them around because they brought in cash. Jim misses this, and his views are too stream lined in the old ways. Love Uncle Jim, but sometimes he doesn't see the forest for the trees.

@@danthemancushecan Yeah I completely agree with this

@@danthemancushecan There's some truth to what you said. You have to think about the younger audience and have things that draw in the next gen of fans. Even in the attitude era characters like the hurricane were there to make the kids happy. As much as we love "serious" gimmicks, we need some goofy stuff like nikki ASH, new day, cena and nxt bailey to pop the young fans.

@@JungleBunkRootsMusic2022 exactly!! Young fans buy up merchandise. Remember those Shawn Michaels glasses from like 1995?? They sold like crazy that year; younger fans eat that stuff up. That's what helps bring in cash. A company can't survive off of ticket sales alone!!

@@danthemancushecan love this convo guys, I completely agree with both of you that’s why I would say (as much as I love them) if you have too drop Ziggler and Roode use Kingston and Woods instead and have Big E be a manger for them or start to work in the mid card. Also I just wanna add to the merchandise thing guys please, please please please! God see Odyssey Jones, as I said in my comment a easy (in about 3 to 4 years after establishing him) Top babeface in the company

Why would a wrestler who can talk very well need a manager to talk for them?

@@gothard5 U R Right But It Fits Her personality..U Know Like Queen Spokesperson..She think that she Is so Good That None Of Them can reach that Level..where Charlotte need to interact..

@@gothard5 Ric Flair talked very well He worked even better with JJ Managers aren’t just for giving poor spoken wrestlers mouth pieces. Managers interfering in matches allow for a whole load of finishes and spots.

I hope Jim takes this further and does an AEW version, Impact version, and a hybrid ROH & NWA version

I like Jim but Brock playing second fiddle to Roman makes no sense he is 10 times a bigger star. it also doesn’t fit his gimmick and real life persona to play that role so that is shitty booking and I didn’t watch the rest of video cause that got me disinterested

@@siddharth1200 Brock is over 40 and a part timer. It makes sense.

@@siddharth1200 he did say brock is in that role because he works 3-4 times a year. So he has to be second fiddle. The main fiddle has to perform every night.

Jim is great but any 6yr old with a GI Joe set can book a better raw program than these current clowns.

@@EazyE11 eh, you go try

I wish the forbidden door would pay Jim whatever he would need to book aew

@josh massey there is, jim just wont work for him

@@rottenrose121 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ really????

What

Dey took his job!

😂🤣😅

Baron Blart Mall Cop is a gimmick I can get behind

I did too

Both Toni Storm and Bayley are SUPER THICK!

Mandy is on NXT

Give Mandi back her original gimmick and stop having Corey Graves sweat over her and she could be something

Make it a trio and add Naomi

@@gdarippa69 Naomi got them yams they must be sleep on black women lol

Back in 2014-16 brock was kinda a like that, a guy who showed up and kicked ass

Is it

'"And suit jim" the man has never once played a video game whatsoever, what the fuck makes you think a video game suits him....? Do you understand how little that suits jim at all..? When has this man ever gotten into technology? He fucking prints out E-mails to read them for his shows for fuck sake. A video game suits Jim 🤡🤡 no.

Still waiting too. I'd love to see how it would play out.

no, no, no, no, yea, no, yea, no, no = Omega, Balding Buck, Road Warrior Buck, Dwarfo Stunt, Jungle Boy, Luchasaurus, Trent, Chuck Taylor, Pockets

Exactly, Finn needs to be a singles.

Walter is really good

Never heard of killer Kross before . Is that some new wwe guy? I heard of karian Kross. Is that who killer Kross is?

Should we see more than one match from him before we push him to the moon?

Yeah I agree and going by Jim's booking sasha would be part of the 8 women who would be feed to the women he mentioned which is rediculous

Pushing Priest ahead of Drew

Sasha sucks bro

Although I agree, but Seth Rollins should go away for a year or longer I agree with Brian last. I need a long break from him.

For some reason, Cornette doesn't like him cause he's too white

Rollins could be let go as far as I'm concerned.

No!

I love Sheamus, but he doesn't belong in this conversation.

Walter is a great talent and hope he never comes to the "main" roster and gets buried.

@@nerdgiant4101 I thought part of the reason was he didn't want to ever live in America. That's why he does NXT UK

@@bigc181 If hes ever gonna go somewhere else it would be NJPW in my opinion.

@@bigc181 welp apparently he has no problems coming to America, especially as a german U-boat captain lol

Total disrespect to Walter's purpose

WALTER had it worse than Kross in his debut.

Only Vince, in Vince's very odd working mind, can make sense out of jobbing out a potential future top star in his debut as a way of "testing him". Completely mind blowing. "Let's squash him to a damn near jobber himself, in less than 2 minutes, and set his standing in the minds of the fans back 10 steps pal, before we start blaming him 6 months from now for not getting over." What. Da. Fuq?

WWE already made WALTER look stupid 2019 survivor series at least Jeff cheated to beat Kross

I like Odyssey Jones a lot, but I think Big E could be more of a JYD type than him.

People think Cornette's time in the business is done cause he can't be bothered travelling, but if you offered him a nice paycheck to work from home and just watch the program + book it. It's easy to do with todays technology.

You are sad

@@distantandvague am I?? Can you let me know when it dips down to depression or improves.

@@WyntonJonesMusic 💯 I wouldn’t put him in a role he has to travel for. Or perhaps once a month meet with talent so he can get to know em so he can give better angles. But I’d have Bret cover the agenting of matches so Bret would have a lot of travelling.

@Youtosux girls rolls off the tongue easier

@Youtosux yeah, clearly nobody calls the guys in the locker room the boys...

"Something about women." -Uncle Fill

I thought he said the same thing too!!! 🤣🤣🤣

When you have 8 top guys, 8 underneath guys 6 tag teams and 8 women 6 tag women that’s 48 people. Plus managers/valets and announcers,

That's the thing, who cares about brands? I mean, you may (and that's cool) but I want to see the best roster on both shows. You can make one show feature the tags more and the other show feature the singles more, but I don't think you need two separate shows with a bloated roster.

Well... you don't need novelty acts imo... none of that aew crap. 50 is too many. Think about moving them over snd over. That's like ecw dreaming there... gonna cost you more than you'll turn profit.

Jesus H Christ people. Y'all need to chill. I didn't include a women's division because quite frankly there's only an amount of women that I would bother to see that I would count on one hand. But yeah if I wanted to include a women's division, then I would just pick 8 top guys, 8 midcarders, and 4-6 tag teams along with 8 women. And plus, injuries happen so obviously you would need a couple extras to have ready to go just in case or a developmental "brand" to bring up to the midcard (so that the mid carders can go to the main event) as the top guys head out or retire.
