Jim Cornette Reviews Dark Side Of The Ring's Chris Candido Episode 

Heymans really a slimey MF man.. an ya know he's makin bank now an im sure doesn't offer to payoff anyone he fucked over in the past..

This is a late reply, but yeah, that ECW phase in the episode really irked me. I was like, "damn, Paul really did that to them?" Adding what Tommy Dreamer was plotting for Paul at WM17 and why, I really see Heyman differently, or at least keep that in the back of my mind.

😂😂😂😂😂

I’ve heard him cry when Bobby passed away but to actually see him cry hurt to watch

During the Owen Hart episode he cried as well.

The Bobby Eaton episode is tough to listen to with how emotional Corny was. He also gets emotional when talking about Owen and Yokozuna. Anyone that he gets emotional for, those are the legends to pay attention to. Go back and watch their stuff. They all hold up today.

also talking about jay briscoe too

Lance Russell episode might be the first.

My brother is my best friend, I couldn’t even imagine losing him young.

@@manmadeaids Mine too, I'd be messed up if I lost my younger one, especially after losing an older one already.

His brother look like Moxley after retirement

Yeah, I felt so bad for the poor guy.

He cried when Jay Briscoe died

Owen Hart episode, from memory

⁠@@ksdnsdkumar1375so what? Saiga is talking about his/her experience watching the show. Also, we didn’t SEE Jim get emotional when Jay Briscoe passed, we HEARD it on the podcast.

Jim's a good dude always has been and always will be.

His tribute to Bobby Eaton is one of the sweetest eulogies you’ll hear.

I feel the Candido one was worse as at least Eddie got to be the guy sadly Chris never got to be the guy

and scky for the wwe

Very true.

the only reason the episode focused on Chris was that Tammy didn't agree to be a part of it

@@joeramos4489 Doesn't matter, sometimes things like that make something better.

I saw a Candido shoot and she was off in the background probably after blowing the producer and she wouldn't shut the fuck up so then she comes over cause he finally says "You wanna get in on this" and then she does and she just could never let the guy have anything for himself. She always had to shoe horn her slutty ass into whatever he was doing. I don't hate Tammy but she is sick. SHE IS. She has a major sex addiction too.

She ruined his career. Whether it was intentional or not. I’m not saying he didn’t have issues either. During their WWF stint, she outshined him and made him the locker room joke. After he left she followed him to ECW and got him in trouble with her drug issues, and finally in WCW, she got them in trouble again with her incident with Kimberly Page.

Yep. I can hardly revisit these stories because the amount of double standards an excuses made for Tammy when everybody knew how she is.

And Melina although her life isn't that great never got close to Sunny levels in terms of sleeping with the boys and addiction.

@@wizzerwiser2056 That's True

I watched the Snuka and Gino episodes...they are way to heavy for me .

@@johngallagher72the Benoit and Owen episodes broke me

I was weeping after watching the ghrams last night

I was holding it together but when they got to the part where Jim and Lance and I think his brother said they needed a moment, man I broke.

@coryfusting9294 i hear you, loud and clear

Christ, autocorrect has me wondering what kind of moveset I'm forgetting... :P

Definitely an overlooked talent, he was pretty darned good in SMW.

Yeah. Specially with the locker room not liking him. And then everything he had to deal with personally while on ECW and Heyman pretty much taking advantage of him and humiliating his and Tammy's addiction.

he was a tragic beta cuck with no balls, couldn't stand up for himself and kept going back to her. and they dedicate an entire episode to that mope...

There was a clip of him doing a top rope powerboat to Lance Storm from an ECW match. That bump looked horrendous!!

No partner is worth your self-esteem.

If someone cheats on their partner, they clearly don't love them and aren't worthy of being loved in return

Not being critical or arguing but its fascinating how people have certain perceptions and Chris is painted like the poor good guy who got treated badly by Tammy who everyone sees as trash. Id imagine the reality of the situation was quite different to what we all think we know. Life is complicated and if were honest we don’t know anything about what goes on behind closed doors.

@@userjim83 Perhaps you're right. But there have never been any stories that have come out about Chris abusing or mistreating Tammy. And Tammy herself has never said anything about it. So who knows for sure.

⁠@@Partyboy22 that’s true, they were both clearly very troubled people with serious substance problems in a toxic relationship. There’s no doubt lots we don’t know etc. Just find it fascinating that the narrative is Chris was this poor guy and she was evil when it was probably a lot different than what it’s portrayed as. Cheers for the sensible reply, rare on youtube 👍😂

Chris is one of those people sadly that the WWE was one of the worst things to happen to someones career.

From what I've been told that also have her one of the T.N.A. Tag. Belts that she draped over his coffin at the funeral.

@@cronsmans I've heard the same regarding the tag belt. He was managing the Naturals at the time, and she apparently got one of them and the office kept the other. That she turned around and sold. Also, that the ham was from a restaurant and part of a whole meal. It just sounds way cooler to say "all I got was a ham". The cheque thing makes total sense -- unfortunately when you die, any outstanding money is put in your name and goes through the estate. It's not TNA's problem at that point she couldn't cash it.

I’m not surprised. TNA screwed Daffney over just because she wanted to file a workman’s comp claim regarding the three concussions she suffered on their watch. I hope Dark Side of the Ring eventually covers her too.

Agreed! Brian met Chris, but he didn't really know him. Normally when you really know someone, it's because you have been around them for large periods of time. Not because you met someone once for five minutes at a convention somewhere.

Just a Jew doing Jew things.

to be fair he is a great wrestling mind. two things can be true, hes both a good wrestling mind and a P.O.S

They wanted to be Sunny’s lawyers said no to being interviewed

@@pleaseshutup7053 yeah a sunny hour and a Chris hour would have been good. Kinda the way they did Chris Benoit but also put a big spot on Eddie.

@@Gary-su8sb yeah I know this was the candido story but sunny story is just more interesting

​@@VicRattleHead28Spoken like a true chode.

Jim Cornette and Chris must have bonded over being cucks.

Lol I thought it was moxley at first

Yeah…Rocky III

Crash got over in the WWF with his comedy 24/7 gimmick. In 2000, he was one of the most over guys on the roster in terms of crowd reactions.

Agreed, someone should for keeping cm junk from being cut from OVW.

Look up what Tommy Dreamer had planned to do to Paul after everything. He had a murder/suicide planned for during Wrestlmania 17. He credits Jim Ross with unknowingly stopping him. It's a crazy story

@@darkstars-torpedoes-of-truth Douchebag.

Tommy Dreamer was going to murder him at WrestleMania X7 but Jim Ross called him and told him to hold on. Tommy was gonna put the bullet at the back of Paul's head and kill himself.

I don't believe for a single second that Chris would've been a major star in AEW or the modern WWE. It's great that he sobered up near the end and got a brief push in TNA, but we ought to be honest about the fact that he was a lot closer to being a journeyman talent than being a major star in the U.S..

There are like 2 confirmed pictures of him online, and they’re all pretty old.

Why? Do you need a pic for your dating profile?

@@taylorsmith9629 To be fair, it IS a little hypocritical that Brian goes to such lengths to try to hide his appearance (going as far as to ask Travis Heckel not to draw him in the thumbnails) considering he very regularly bashes the appearance of others

I just imagine a fatter, balder Paul Heyman!

I think 4 Brother Corny thats normal stuff.

@@babakahba2258 haha oh yea, thats probably why he liked Chris so much

Yeah, Scotty Flamingo totally wouldn't make stuff like that up to have something to sell in his 528th "exclusive shoot interview". Absolutely nothing carnie-ish about that guy, he's practically Honest Abe. I'm not saying it isn't true, I'm saying people need to understand that "shoot interviews" are cheap entertainment, not serious journalism - pro wrestlers/pro wrestling personalities lie as often (or more) than they tell the truth. I wouldn't believe Scott Levy any more than Tammy Lynn Sytch. And I don't take anything Tammy says at face value, unless it's confirmed by more believable sources.

@@henrygvidonas9573 You got a point but other people have said similar things. Even Brian mentioned hearing about stuff happening back in the day. Raven was just the one that came to mind. I mean I think a lot of these guys are into some weird sh-t. You listen to Cornette long enough he's came out and said he's basically a swinger.

@@jamesedwardclard It's just like with Chris Benoit. Nobody wants to stir shit up or be disrespectful, so they dance around the truth and go for the easy explanations. Tammy fell for Shawn. Chris had CRT. It's only when you get someone on the outside like a Raven or New Jack who's willing to say what's what that you hear the truth outright.

She gets no pass from me. She’s a POS and the way she treated him was awful. But I do have less sympathy for him at times for seemingly allowing it to continue on and on without ever leaving her. I get it’s hard to leave but eventually if you keep allowing it to happen it is partially on you. I get not going after HBK because you can’t but that doesn’t mean you stay with her and allow it. Especially because it seems everybody knew she did this with many people for years and years and frankly he’d have to have been delusional to not have been aware of it. So it doesn’t give her a pass whatsoever but it does lessen to an extent the sympathy for him to continue allowing it because harsh as it is to say you teach people how they’re allowed to treat you and he taught her she could treat him like absolute dog shit and he’d always stick around.

There was a reason why Tommy Dreamer pondered killing Heyman.

It said 10k

@@pleaseshutup7053 oh ok, yea I can see that. For sure. I wanna say Tammy in past shoots was talking 50-100,000k in various shoots. Maybe I’m wrong

If cheating on him didn't drive him to suicide then leaving him wouldn't have either. I'm sure Chris would've moved one from her and realize it was a blessing in disguise.

Awkward since his brothers nickname for him was cuck 😬

Raven said that in different words

@@chrischar9428 Oh wow, well I'm not the only one then.

I don't think had a cuckold fetish. If he did he would've talked her into porn when they were barely making money on the indies. He knew and just accepted it.

Oh ok

@@chrischar9428 like the 20th suspicious thing I’ve seen about the Benoit case

​@@pleaseshutup7053congrats for thinking. There's definitely truth in that line of thinking.

😂😂😂

@@gobo6175it's foolish to blindly believe and deny just to go along with what supposedly is truth

Brian’s criticisms of the show are accurate but unreasonable. As far as leaving things out, Vice gives these guys 60 minutes. There’s only so much content you can fit in that time. A lot of the stuff Brian wants to hear about us the kind of stuff that would be more realistic in a 2 hour episode or a 3 hour deep dive

Bash at the beach? Magnum TA?

@@pleaseshutup7053 the former is Hogan's karma biting him on the proverbial, the latter: the average rassling fan would go "who?"

@@Forever_Thatter how does that make them snoozfests clown not everyone knows these stories.

I'm looking forward to the trainwreck that's Matt Borne lol

@@mecha2001 I can't wait for the cm junk episode. That will be a car wreck aka collision.
