Jim Cornette Reviews AEW's Casino Ladder Match at Double Or Nothing 

It’s such a memorable line and that’s saying a lot

I said the exact same thing. I literally leaned over and told my girlfriend ‘I hope Jim’s alright.’

I expect "Jungle Boy vs MJF" was his only break from the "torture."

I said the same. It was between that or, "damn, Cornette is shitting a whale right now."

@Prometheus 2019 Haha oh yes, is it this one? 😂 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hj3fkRF9wvY.html

Same

It was the only good match from the Souled Out PPV

U know ur shit 👍

God that PPV was awful.

Funny thing is that Eddie did not liked that match, I think it was his first one. Then he had classics like vs RVD, Rey Mysterio and Edge.

It's not underrated at all. It was featured on a lot of DVDs considered the best ladder matches of all time. Like someone else said as well, it was the only good match on the PPV.

Looks like the Basket Case

I didn't even realize it was a cartoon

I laugh every time I see it. He looks like one of those little M.U.S.C.L.E. figurines from the 80's.

@@rawsewage196 haha, nice reference. Haven't heard of that one in years.

@aaron anderson No one will ever put Joey in that list.

I grew up watching fake Diesel and Razor...

@aaron anderson what you been smoking pal? HBK one of the best ever

aaron anderson if you’re gonna troll at least try to be some what realistic. Michaels is one of the greatest ever if you can’t see that you just don’t understand wrestling.

I grew up watching Mantaur

He said he "looks like a beach crackhead u ask to imitate a wrestling promo for some crack rock".....That is so hilarious and kinda on point. Idk how cornette comes up with this ...

Joey isn't cool enough to actually do the hard street drugs, he just sniffs glue.

Nutella is a fat slob who looks like he eats nothing but pizza for breakfast, lunch, dinner and midnight snack.

🤣🤣 This whole comment section is gold. Cornette ain't lying though. That Janella 'promo' if we can call it that was embarassing. And you ain't a bad, bad boy when Enzo pulls your fuckn card.

Yeah. Sometimes there is fun, but the fun is watching it for the violence, competition, etc. I can turn off my brain for a comedy match, but it has to have some sensibility.

The UFC sure as hell isn’t perfect but Cornette was correct years ago when he said that Dana White is running the most successful pro wrestling company in the world.

Exactly

Remember the build up to survivors 95-96,wrestlemania 17 , etc that's the type of build ups I love that's pro wrestling

👍👍👍👍

You forgot Kenny "Olivier"

All it needed was Michael NakaNaka knock the fuck off and his baby oil to make it a true out law mud show.

More like "let's dump all our shitty underneath guys here in this one match out of sight" match

@@tmerchead1 I swear, Cornette would've climbed to the top of a building and jumped if NakaNaka climbed the ladder and slid all the way down cus of baby oil.

They should get their own 24/7 title and put all these clown to compete for it. They all belong there. Together. In the piss-break matches.

Well they should listen to his show so they can produce a better show it’s free advice

@@karlhart9276 I agree, but at this present time I'd rather they do a shit show so I can enjoy listening to Jim. Imagine him praising the show, it'd be boring as fuck!

Interesting theory. Perhaps they're trying to give Jim a heart attack from watching it.

Peter James hopefully they’ll get serious after the pandemic is over...

@@karlhart9276 even without the advice...its still the best product right now. Nobody gets everything right.

You would also be surprised just how much even the marks don't like him. That's how bad he is.

Bamethyst 38 can confirm that as a mark I hate janella.

@@Antlover420 agreed...sloppy...unprofessional, unathletic. I am 107% a mark for this business, and have been for over 30 years...Janella is embarrassing.

I can literally imagine Him begging in his ring gear Fucking Jersey crackhead

dude.. its sad.. im a wrestling mark and im more in shape than joey nutella. that guy doesnt look like a bad boy or bad ass at all. looks like he never picked up a weight in his life

Not brilliant, and also not a quote as no one in the clip said those words.

that was just back in December i think not too long ago

@@tw475 it still happened

Tweet it to him

I need this rant injected into my veins now

It's not? And here I was hoping for a guy called patches to show up so they can form a tag duo called two p's in a pod

"As u ask him to do a wrestling promo on ur video camera in exchange for a crack rock"

Ya we know what he says bro

@DevilKaz Shame on her, bro. She is an absolute Goddess.

jigyoda everything is better than her face. That includes Dana’s face too

@@o.w.omarquito2047 If that's your definition of a an ugly face, you need to rethink everything in life.

What is "dishwasher" a euphemism for?

@@igorivanov299 his wife.

Igor Ivanov his gf or lady friend

His penis

i will listen while i unload my load . if ya know what i mean

I agree with the first part of your sentiments but...Do you want to have a real conversation about the 2nd?

@@Mrderful There is no way in hell the 2012 Olympic team is beating the 1992 one. 2012 era rules, Laettner (by the far the weakest link) would be as OP as he was at Duke and everyone else on that team would be completely unfair. Lebron is a genetic freak so he'd be fine but a lot of other guys on that team wouldn't hold a candle to the rest.

If you're comparing it to WWE/AEW, though, yes I did see they started using NXT guys in the crowd albeit with more extreme protective measures. I hope somehow that plexglass gets wrecked, just have the NXT "fans" shooed away while whatever No Countout match would allow that.

@Rondough Howell Even if Durant got past a then-over-the-hill Bird he's not doing anything to stop Malone. Barkley is a matchup nightmare at either the 3 or the 4. Apart from MJ you have Clyde (a worse Jordan according to Game of Zones). Mullin at that point in his career was as lights-out as any other shooter, and Robinson and Ewing are easily better than any big the 2012 team could field. At the point you have Magic and Stockton, the latter was an elite defender and we all saw what happened with Westbrook got pressured even slightly by defense in the clutch (Rubio back when everyone was convinced he was a bum). Kevin Love, as I stated before, if Laettner came into the league back then rather than when he did, he'd be a huge commodity very similar to Love. Kevin Love wasn't enough the worst guy on the 2012 team while Laettner was far and beyond the odd man out on Dream Team I. All of that outside shooting from 2012 makes zero difference when a 1/3rd of the 1992 squad is known for ripping the ball out of dude's hands and diverting shots so that their elite rebounders get easy boards and fast breaks.

I be forgetting there’s even rankings that’s how “important” they seem to be lol

Exactly Brodie got a title shot after a month and a half now Brian cage gets a title shot after 1 match

The ranking system is stupid to begin with.

Dat Natural Herb If Okada came to AEW he wouldnt start with wrestling the librarian would he?

@@antimaster1007 wait the librarians still there? I haven't watch AEW since after mania. I only watched this ppv to see what's new.

was it worse than the money in the bank 2020 match?

@@jessebowman161 yes, and that's saying a lot.

@@jessebowman161 money in the bank This year was very good

Leem Wills Well it appealed to the entertainment fans and wwe gave the fans the winners they wanted to see win but I wouldn’t even call it a match

Doesn't make any sense? It's just a money in the bank match with a slightly different coat of paint. What is there to get?

I agree. You can hear it in JR's voice when you listen to his podcast.

@Jon Tucker I've noticed that. Funnily enough in a mid 90s ppv JR chastises Vince on commentary for not calling a suicide dice a tope suicida...times change

Sadiki Akil that is true, but what is the point of calling a maneuver two different names even if both are correct? It feels like a lot of the commentary on AEW matches consists of JR or Tony calling a spot and then Excalibur screaming the lucha or Japanese name of the move. He’s a walking talking thesaurus that parrots calls made by his colleagues, and I preferred the few weeks that Jericho replaced him at this point

Just like heenan in WCW

@@billmoroski9032 The Brain checking out was probably the worst for the biz. 90's killed kayfabe

Well getting something like that is different, but still this match was fucking terrible

He lost to a woman. The end.

well wouldn't u say that's a win that mattered. i mean he got a title shot after he won

The stipulation was the winner was a #1 contender.. he won, thus hes the the #1 contender. How is this hard to comprehend?

@@Joe-bs3pb he had no prior wins and losses, making someone's win loss record meaningless. Get that?

THIS. Yet they claim it is long term storytelling. Nope, thats not it. Stop-and-Go kinda deals aint long term sotrytelling

Me too and the Dustin and spears match was terrible

Shawn spears thinks he is shawn michaels..And his reaction to every week matches sitting beside is awful..

I think Jim does it for the attention he gets and because everybody looks forward to his reactions and comments. This is not the 80s wrestle he grew up on so he hates. Things change with time and so does wrestling.

I do agree with a lot of what Jim thinks and believes (wrestling-wise) but I enjoy watching dynamite and AEW ppv’s because I like wrestling and don’t think too much into it.

mixednegro55 I agree. But I can also see where he’s coming from when he talks about legitimacy and believability in wrestling. When the curtain call happened, it just snowballed over time to the point of EVERYONE knowing that wrestlers are “performers”. People playing a part regardless of how believable they are in that part. Obviously that’s just a small part of his gripes with wrestling nowadays and I can name a lot more though it’s probably unnecessary, but he just can’t accept that this is wrestling NOW, the cats out of the bag and it’s not going back in. People need to be ok with it cuz wrestling isn’t going back in time

But you also have to realize the century we are in its not 1980 anymore so of course wrestling has changed and it will continue to change. Jim is still stuck in the 80s wrestling so he will not like whats being presented today

Same only complaints I had 1. Marco spot killed momentum of match 2. Cody match was terrible way to long 3. Matt Hardy changing characters under water

Corny has always respected Shawn's wrestling ability, it was just his attitude he couldn't take.

He also said Hall was a good, but not great wrestler. Sounds pretty accurate to me

I think he should never win a title, and should only be used for comedy spots. MAYBE one day make him drop the act and get serious for a few months, then maybe he wins a midcard title, but his current gimmick should never be a main event player no matter the reaction he gets.

I thought he was great. His match with Pac at Revolution was super entertaining but without an audience to hype his antics he's gone stale quickly. He was supposed to be laid back not a complete fucking moron. That ladder match killed him completely. He's done.

Im a Cassidy fan and i think he should stay in the lower mid card because he is just a comedy gimmick.

@@sammmm87 Crazy thing is that's basically AEW in a nutshell. Cassidy could've been slow built as a hyper laid back guy who acted like a major match wasn't that big of a deal, he was just having fun & trying to be a friendly guy to everyone, etc., but eventually it turns out he's actually very cunning & has been waiting to take advantage of people underestimating him in some capacity. Or however they'd want to flip his early image around, even with a heel turn or something. But that would take time & a lot of effort to carefully build up to that & it's easier to just make Cassidy a total moron who doesn't know how ladders work for the cheap laughs. AEW is more interested in the quick payoff for every angle they have. Which actually means within the next 5 months they'll probably have Cassidy get thrown off the roof of the stadium, return as a serious guy wearing suits all the time, win a title, get drowned at sea on Jericho's cruise, & return again as himself.

@@CM-jc7gk i disagree there as long as he is not in championship level status im happy. Because he is the AEWs R truth comedy gimmick just their for fun and to have a laugh nothing major. I find him funny and entertaining as hell so i put trust in AEW they don't do anything stupid because the only time they haven't done long term booking is Hardy mabey.

🤣... oh, you're serious...

Exactly. Reminded me so much of a WWE version of Lucha Underground

at least lucha libre has the excuse that it's always been kinda weird.

Second worst, but only because IWRG had a ladder match where all of their ladders broke and they had to get a ladder for a bunk bed at home depot while the match was in progress.

n0m4nic you gotta be kidding me

@@5150scottie5150 It actually got worse for them. The latch on the belt got stuck so Dos Caras Jr tried to break it by jumping on it. It didn't work. He ended up hanging from the belt and causing structural damage to the historic arena's ceiling that would shutter it for two weeks.

@@n0m4nic Really? That is hilarious.

Given your name I would fully expect you to say that!

i think we all have

This match is so phony... It should be over after 10 seconds. SCU look like the dumbest idiots in the world being in the ring together and not just tossing a coin or whatever to decide who just takes the fucking chip. Now none of them got it.

I'm looking forward 2 what he has to say about the tnt belt

I loved about 90% of the show and laughed through a lot of it. So much fun. But listening to Jim rip the show apart like only he can, is equally as fun to listen to.

The ladder match was ok. The ppv was good.

that's the contract between wrestlers and fans. the wrestlers need to make us try to believe it and we need to pretend that it's real. when one side breaks that contract, the whole thing falls apart.

pockets and marco stunted growth..wow

And Kenny Olivier

Hey dad look at me I'm Freshly Squeezed!!!! Oh yeah well your grounded because I'm better than you and you know it!!!🖕🖕

It’s either this or two hours of Old Time Road.

Squ1rr3INutZ barely

Squ1rr3INutZ NXT crushes AEW when it comes to everything, yet people watch AEW because it’s still the new thing

Kids aren't watching this. Wrestling doesn't attract new fans nowadays.

Better than the actual PPV & it was for free to boot

Even bad matches, to some degree

@lamry2j Check out Booker T vs Saturn at WCW Superbrawl 98. Immediately after wrestling Rick Martel, Booker fought Saturn and it was all improvised. They made it look great.

@@Smokey1419 thanks for the tip !

I think the issue was the “casino” aspect and having 2 minutes for each entrant to come out they should’ve had all 9 men in the ring for the match and then everyone could come out at separate spots in the match.

The Stampede match wasnt horrible. It wasnt great by any means, but I've seen way worse. The Adam Page drunk and not showing up seems like a shoot on wrestlers with legitimate substance abuse issues of days old (Hall and Hawk come to mind), but the actual spots they did weren't completely stupid, with exception of Matt coming out of the water as WWE forms of himself, which will probably end in a lawsuit.

The key is don’t look at those as matches (stampede,boneyard etc)look at them as angles or mini movies. I personally enjoy them because I don’t consider them wrestling. The problem is hardcore AEW are so desperate for it to succeed they kid themselves.

@@trailerparkchief I mean it's in pretty poor taste to do a needless comedic bit about drowning a wrestler the same week a former WWE guy, who several of the AEW guys knew, did actually tragically drown to death.

Yes, this is how it is rated. How entertaining it was. That's the final aim. To entertain. And ppl loved it

Don DiMello it was filmed before hand. are you that dense ?

Because he’s reckless and relentless. That’s his gimmick

because no one told him not to

Correct me if im wrong but someone was on the ladder and then moved as he jumped.

@@justino5222 Correct. Kazarian was slumped over on the ladder bridge that Darby set up.

IDK...it was the shitz..

😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

It's lazy sports entertainment booking. Btw love the profile pic. Out here in Vegas hoping they get the health situation together enough that I can see the two Jets games in LA

As soon as he was the mystery man I knew he was winning

That considering that the mystery entrant came in last an you already probably assumed he'd win at that point..

I like it...changes the tone after the kids get their fun. Face change is great. Like that you have him in early. If he's getting a title shot out of this it would be better he served some longevity in the match.

How is Sabian a goof wrestler to me there’s nothing different between him and Finn Balor

I'm all for any instance where Cassidy gets squashed and made to look like the low mid career that he is

@@christophersuswal9544 that's never happening, plus tbh he is good

This is how I’d have debut’d Brian Cage....I wouldn’t have signed him at all because he sucks!!!

I do not have any hope for aew its going to keep going but its going to keep going as it is

ROH was as close as we'll get to a NJPW style production in the West.

Sad to see

My interest might totally be gone after watching the entire event

@@RK-zf1jm even if it keeps going as it is, im down to watch .. i like it alot more than wwe .. hell, i would watch njp, tna , over wwe anyday even .. tna frickin sux horribly n id rather watch that then wwe. hahahaha .. but the wwe marks can have fun watching the eldertaker and oldberg
