Jim Cornette Reviews AEW Forbidden Door 2024 

The real shock in Brian's voice when he thought Jim watched the pre-show is fucking hilarious

The absolute opposite direction both companies are going in is crazy when you look at them both objectively

The ability AEW has to kill its own stars has to be studied 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Tony cares more about cagematch ratings then actual viewers

The "Britt has been in the gym for Adam Cole" line made me spit out my drink it was sooooooo funny

The hypocrisy from Meltzer and Alvarez commenting on the Sol v Kelani match is hilarious, hope Jim calls them out

I hope Cornette talks about how Kevin Nash called out CM Punk for not rushing back after he tore his triceps, AND saying that no one knew he tore his quad. He's more in denial than Aaron Rodgers was on his Egyptian vacation.

It's amazing how badly AEW has bungled things. At their peak, they were competing against a WWE making some of the worst tv it had ever made. 2019 WWE was legitimately abysmal. A bloated television program, bogged down by Vince making some of the dumbest booking decisions of his life, seemingly out of pure stubbournness and resentment of the crowd. Then 20, 21 and 22 weren't all that much better. WWE was vulnerable. As vulnerable as it had ever been to a major, competition program with money behind it. Tony had it made. What did he do? Well he let his evps run Cody Rhodes and CM Punk off to the WWE. That's what he did. And then he went all in on those evps that no one outside the bubble likes and then he tripled down on the wrestling bubble and called it "booking for the sickos" as if that's a thing to be proud of. Now WWE is white hot, with stars up and down the card and several angles the people are way into, running massive live shows and ppvs with great tv ratings. Their tertiary developmental program is competing with, and sometimes beating, AEW's flagshow. Meanwhile AEW is dependent on a 10+ year old bad sitcom to still do less than 800k ratings weekly and the matches they so pride themselves on are mostly being laughed at outside the wrestling nerd bubble. And that's just the flagship show. Collision and Rampage are about as important as old WWE Velocity. Anyone else remember Velocity? Gonna be what we say about AEW Collision and Rampage in a few years.

Yes! The only reason to watch AEW is to see what Jim and Brian is going to make fun of!

the runescape music right out of the gate

NXT has been doing better Forbidden Door stuff than AEW lately. Just showing Joe Hendry's face for a couple seconds after the NXT title match created more hype.

Man, Hechicero when from "HeCh-Ch-Ch-Chia" to 'ole Hech in 2 weeks. That's a meteoric rise in Cornyland.

Marko stunted growth return is going to be amazing.

MJF a proven ratings mover… to 500k

This one should be called "Forgotten Door" this event was a waste of time

Lmao, where does Brian find those time travel noises. 😂 they get weirder every time. 😅

Listening to Jim break a match down and how MJF could improve his selling is ridiculously good

I.... actually liked Metallica's version of Turn The Page. Not better than the original version, by any means, but in general, I always thought it was pretty all right.

Even Alveraz was saying if you haven’t seen Okada before he join AEW, you would be like why’s this guy getting paid so much he just stand there doing comedy and having mediocre matches

"Danced around like 2 drunks at closing time..." one of the best descriptions ever

AEW please SHUT THE DOOR.

Well as bad as Forbidden Door was, Raw will certainly put Jim in a good mood. Mami's back!

The only reason I want AEW to survive is I love listening to Jim and Brian shitting on AEW. It's very funny segments and I think we all would miss if AEW goes under

I love that Brian stopped calling Pockets Orange Cassidy and calls him by his Jim given name which is Pockets. 😂

AEW is the lolcow of sports entertainment 😂

15 matches on a PPV card is ridiculous.

There's a reason the door was forbidden

Are people still saying "If you don't like AEW, you don't like wrestling?" It started off as barely watchable, then proceeded to be absolutely insulting. Just shameful, what they present, as professional wrestling. Any show, wrestling or otherwise, shouldn't be put together, this way. I tried. I really did. I gave AEW a chance, a few chances. It gets worse, every time it's on.

Breakker would break slowkada in half very quickly lol.

TRAVIS DON'T GIVE JIM CORNETTE ANY IDEAS 😂😮

I was a lapsed fan watching no wrestling - I was there for AEW to grab yet now here I am on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens next in WWE with guys like Jacob Fatu & Drew haha.

I remember when the AEW preshows were an hour and if that wasn't enough, they added 30 more minutes?! Just what everybody wants, more Excrement yelling at the top of his lungs about nothing. Where's WWF Free for All and WCW Main Event when you need them?

"The word 'drivel' is not used enough in today's society."

AEW Forbidden Door the annual event where the Yakuza and the Cartel join forces to shake down Tony Khan

Just reading about this ppv makes me wonder how any casual viewer could figure out who's who and what's what anymore. Intro music also sounded like Mortal Kombat on a doorbell greeting

Id take a known criminal over a senile criminal

53:50 - I want Brian and Jim to put their bets in now for who's going to be the inaugural TruTV Champion in a few months when AEW gets shunted over to that channel by Warner-Discovery. They're already setting up for it; they're moving Impractical Jokers over to TBS to join the comedies, and loading up TruTV with more sports like MotoGP and Bellator - I'm sure they'll sell it to Tony as a good move for his "sports-based wrestling" approach, and he'll think his new deal is just _great_ (ding!). My money's on Daniel Garcia since they keep trying to push him for some reason...

That take about the young bucks is 100% true it’s all go away heat

Austin aries will tell you what the difference is with pre show and show. Pre show is working wrestlmainia for no wrestlmainia money.

Maybe Bootleg Adam Peirce hasn't been around, because you can't miss him if he doesn't go away? 🤣🤣😂🤣

Creatively, O’Cody’s Green Hornet character in TNA doesn’t look so bad now

I miss the Sunday Night Heat PPV pre-shows, they had video packages or footages of what happened in previous weeks for every single match on the card and at the end there was a short match with preliminary guys, that was on free tv and to me it was also one last attempt to convince more fans to buy the PPV and I can confirm it worked with me 😂 I believe it was Bad Blood 2003

“I had he whole goddam roof!” Holy Shit! Jim is a national treasure!! 😂😂

TDS is strong here.

This is the 2nd year in a row MJF has led off forbidden door. Last year Punk was on 2nd. They both know or knew what was wrong with AEW, and it’s why they wanted to be on early before the rest of the card waterboarded the crowd into being impressed by nothing because everything had already been done.

I feel bad for subjagating Jim to this crap, but thank you for your service so i don't have to watch it. 😑

Sounds like a wiggly Yokozuna entrance 💀🤣

I thought the MJF match was one of the weakest matches It felt like an AEW Rampage match Lol

I wish I could defend Bryan Danielson's work lately (he's one of my all time favorites). But Jim and Bryan are pretty much spot on on him for his match here.

Travis, thanks to you, I have to go back and read The Cask of Amontillado.

That music sounded like a game I used to play on the sega genesis called Alien Storm when it loaded onto the main screen 😅

The door was indeed forbidden

For those of you who watched NXT Heatwave: Je’Von Evans just turned 20 years old a couple of months ago. I hope every person involved in Shawn getting to him before Tony is having a good day.

Jim should watch NXT Heatwave

'Alright you dont gotta do tricks on it'

Oh, look! It's Kilroy!!! If you get the reference, you're welcome! Oh, wait until Cornette reacts to seeing Marco Stunt being back!!! Oh, good god!!!

No one in their right mind would give "the learning tree" a ten year contract. What was Tony thinking?

Just realised that naming a PPV "Forbidden Door" is like calling a PPV "Kayfabe matches" Isnt it more forbidden or rare or secretive or more special if you know about Forbidden Door but you dont fucking talk about the Forbidden Door. Its something you know exists as an underground, classified type of business transaction but you dont legit advertise it as such.

They should make an onubus about Brian leaving Jim hanging and Jim asking ' are you there ? " and all the times of the few seconds of dead air. Lol

I know Jim hates Kenny and Okada, but every Kenny/Okada match in japan looked like Flair/Steamboat compared to Moxley and Naito

1:10:10 I think TK knows the style he allows in AEW is damaging to his talent's bodies long term so he keeps hiring or utilising other talent to compensate for all the constant injuries.

"Ive heard 3 Goddamns in a minute"😂😂

Corney Montresor is taking his revenge on Tony Fortunato.

Brian’s disgust for what TK did to women’s wrestling is both hilarious and sad. When they try to move on from AEW no one is going to take them seriously wherever they land

Trying to make the young bucks the top heel team is like trying to make too cool the top heel team .....the main difference is young bucks don't have the look, booking or the talent of even too cool.....and most importantly they don't have Rikishi 😂

For the love of God, Montresor!

I love when Jim says Hetch

Why is Jim's left hand some sort of a spear tip?

I always end up falling asleep whenever it’s a Sasha banks match

If AEW was just PPV only, they'd be a great monthly thing cuz Dynamite, Rampage, and Collision are awful. You gotta treat each AEW episode like it's the first one ever seen to make it through.

The one spot Jim complimented in the main event is the one where I noticed obvious co-operation - when Swerve stomped Ospreay through the table off the top rope, you could clearly see Ospreay jump up so he could take Swerve's feet in his chest instead of his face

Brian Last almost had the NES Batman Theme going 😮

When Last asked Corny If he thought it was great 😆 I was reminded of when Jim Mora was asked about "playoffs?!!"

It’s so amazing watching the crescendo of Jim and Brian’s heat with AEW. It’s the hottest angle in wrestling.

It's crazy how much AEW fans on their subreddit have turned on the Acclaimed... sometimes I think it's because these two guys are actually in shape and have a gimmick and look like goddamn wrestlers

Jim pls for once react to nxt heatwave

What lasts longer Jericho aew contract or aew and Warner Brothers working relationship

Who’s here after turning off Raw?

Shingo rules and I love him and I loved this match

I watched this just to see if any of the AEW Wrestlers outside of MJF would get a bigger pop than Larry Punk. Larry Punk would be the number 2 guy in AEW right now.😂😂😂😂😂

I agree with Jim about how the forearms in pro wrestling look like garbage. Barely any of the modern day guys seem to want to learn how to throw a punch. I know I will sound like Glen Gilberti but I agree with him. The point of a pro wrestling match is to make a fake fight look real as possible. Nobody in MMA is throwing forearms to people's faces while standing on their feet. They may throw elbows in grapples and on the ground but in a stand up fight, people are throwing punches, kicks, or going for a grapple

Wanted this more than I wanted to watch forbidden door

Wembley is not ostriches hometown, Essex is not London

This video gets thumbs up just for Jim’s excellent Poe reference

As a wrestling fan, I'm not looking for the girls to do much of anything but talk trash and wrestle. If they can do anything else well, that should be an added bonus, not the main attraction. Why else watch wrestling then? It's not like it's the only form of entertainment I can put on my screen.

Was this the originalmistico or the guy who replaced him when he went to WWE

Vaquer had a ppv match for AEW and a week later decided to sign with WWE over AEW, i think that says it all

This is the synopsis of modern wrestling either too many moves or too much drama and you pick which one you can deal with.

The consistency of the Elite storyline is the worst part of this whole thing because I swear, a few weeks ago commentary said that TK had to approve a Bucks match/decision, thus, if that's true, logically, this makes no sense from any angle you look at it.

Loved as Brian blacked out when Jim started explaining the MJF match, dreaming of ways to create a Cornette Master-Class.

Only saw a glimpse of this event, and oh my, I'm keeping it that way. Side mention: Brian Last's previous time travel melody sounded almost identical to Flashback: Quest for Identity's opening credits.

It's beyond me why Statlander was on the pre show...

Jericho will out fat himself from in ring long before his contract runs out.

Time to retire Forbidden Dooe. Tony raided all NJPW's best talent... but instead they are doubling down with two major shows now.

Fuckin Shingles do hurt like a bitch, never thought I’d get it at 37 lol just got it last week, surprised Jim mentioned Shingles

"Take me back." Yeah Jim, yeah. 😂😂😂

A Poe reference?!! Fuck yeah

Whenever I see Lio Rush, I always imagine that Terry Funk is going to come back from the dead so we can have the 'Ultimate Retirement' match. Where the loser has to stay retired FOREVER! FOREVER! FOREVER! FOREVER!

I honestly don't care what people say... that Ospreay v Swerve match was f'n great
