Jim Cornette Reviews Matt Hardy's Confrontation With Chris Jericho 

Still

Like a fine wine.

@@SpaceshipRocketFueleven better

....I thought the 2 did great.

@Metropcs Metropcs No he will keep going with Broken Matt Hardy in AEW and if you don't like it you had better start watching something else.

@Metropcs Metropcs he's very horrible and takes away every bit of seriousness he had as team Hardy or V1. Broken Matt is garbage

@Metropcs Metropcs Time for you to watch NJPW,NWA Powerrr,Impact or ROH.

Great advice to all professional wrestlers. "STOP GOING OUT OF YOUR WAY TO BE NOTICED" Lol

These rants age like a fine wine 😆 Interesting to hear Jim's opinions of certain people both evolve and devolve 😂

Amen brother.

Here after matt and Jim beef

This reminds me of the Cornette shoot promos from WWE.

Every week🤣

Haha he speak to drone. Drone is not person and cannot smoke cigar but is funny cause wrestling man offer him cigar LOL

When he called it a piece of shit, I fucking lost it 😂😂😂

This segment was hilarious. I loved it.

Better than anything WWE has done in a while!!

Me too 😂😂 was hilarious 😂😂

I thought of him when Jericho started talking to Vanguard 1.

Jamie whites can’t say bro? LMFAO they basically started that shit, what are you on

@Jamie bro

@Jamie You want evidence of a white guy inventing the word "bro"? Dude we are in a pandemic, isnt there other things to worry about?

Jamie Get off your soapbox because ain’t nobody listening to you. No doubt in my mind you’re not even black but just a self hating white who thinks they’re “woke”. People can say bro if they’re white, black, green or purple. Who are you to tell them they can’t. Simp!

literally me

Why? Do you not have an opinion of your own?

@@timothygraham4304 yeah bro of course I do. I was just curious how Jim would react... as I stated. Tf

@@timothygraham4304 don't be an asshole buddy

Same here 🤣 right before I turned the shit off

I did

Pretty much

Very accurate

Absolutely

And I was not disappointed lol

That's right. Yetay, as they call it in dubya cee dubya, lol

He never said anything of the undertakers weird shit from back in the day

They yetaaaay!

@@jamielynch8267 I have heard him criticize it lightly. Real lightly, but kind of glosses over it.

Tony's just working with what he's given. How else is he supposed to call this without shitting all over it ??? LOL

Couldn’t agree more so many fan boys

Except the Nightmare Collective is an example nobody got behind, and what happened? It was dropped.

Phillip Silva the thing is AEW promise to be opposite/an alternative to WWE when in reality it’s very similar just another brand

Some Guy thought I was the only one,it’s just small scale wwe

@@christophermoreland50 AEW has fanboys and WWE has old boomers and criminals selling fake insurance to senior citizens over the telephone. I'm not sure what's worse.

So Cornette had no problem with dressing Batista as an Atlantean or watching The Undertaker as a deadman monster but Matt Hardy's gimmick is unrealistic?! Matt's taking Sullivan's Prince of Darkness even further! Toldja, Mr.Cornette's selective memory strikes again! U want "realistic"? Try ROH, if they're still on television!

This ☝

Pulsar Stargrave Matt can’t even compare to Undertaker. Tells you a lot about how much he made it work that he’s been that gimmick for 30+ years

What blew my mind was honestly just how obviously shittily made it was. Like, literally any idiot with a camera in their phone and Windows Movie Maker could have done just as "good" of an editing job. LITERALLY ANY idiot. "Community theater", like Brian put it, is the perfect description. It's what I'd expect from a couple of high school kids messing around, not from the two biggest stars of a major international wrestling promotion. People would be shitting on this segment SO MUCH if WWE happened to do it.

@@wloffblizz that's part of the gimmick the shitty production

@@mbrennan27 It was also just one guy pulling it off.

Man...back in the attitude era we would have loved it, instead of critiquing the technical aspects of the show, I mean there were all kind of technical flaws back then but, we kinda shrugged or laughed that shit off.

Dagon Briggs ...And Michael Hayes is suing for gimmick infringement

Alot of people dont

Thats because he is old af and doesnt get the broken character

@@TheUltimateVoid what is there to get ? It's not that entertaining

@@MrJjburgess11 it is if you know the background of the character and if you have seen his segments in wwe and tna, the character is supposed to be silly, absurd and over the top, thats what Corndog, doesnt get

Void Get what? Some of us get it. It’s not that complex of a gimmick. It’s just stupid

I thought the segment was amazing

@@AliHusnain522 Me too.

@@AliHusnain522 .....I loved it & swore Jim would too.

Ali Husnain teleporting is amazing ? You smarks are such hypocrites if TNA or WWE did that y’all would let em have it. But cause it’s AEW it gets a pass? Nah fam.

Verbal_Soulzzz I loved the broken universe in impact

Except they Ross didn't act as if Taker teleported. The lights would go out giving Taker time to get there. Not the same, really.

It is different with Undertaker because you don't actually see him doing it. It was the fact that they used that freeze frame that made it awful.

The Undetaker is a living dead guy Wrestling is a carnival

Remember when The Undertaker wasn't a midcard jobber?

Yeap..he did that

Joe A yeah, that was stupid Russo bullshit

@Anthony Cruz True they don't like WWE's style, but Jim has never spoken ill of Undertaker or Kane, at least not that I've heard or in anywhere near the level of hostility on display here, for doing very similar things all throughout their careers to what Matt did last night.

Remember when he used to summon lighting bolts from the sky?

....Maximillion.

Creighton Chaney 1941 Yeah, Martin Luther King did have a dream, & we know what happened to him! Same damn thing that's gonna happen to AEW if they keep this goofy shit up!

An American Dream.

To have more Smokey Mountain Wrestling on the WWE Network? Yes that would be a dream come true!

and he loves him some good ol' wrasslin' because he was there!! Did you see him?? I didn't know he was a Jericho fan cheering like that!

I really think it's all a plot from the Elite for Jim to have a heart attack

😂😂😂

Honestly that's a good strategy lol

@@jherikomark if yout stuff can piss off cornette, you are doing the right stuff

@@Lobsham it's not really their ratings are still shit

The promo with Matt was kinda meh but it had good lines, the promo with the drone was perfect yeah

@@crowns9966 Agreed, the Matt stuff would have been way better with a crowd, they went too far too soon with him. That damn drone though I cant get enough of that.

Puree le reddit gold

i laughed hard when jericho replied to matts you knew id come, jericho saying, yea we booked the segment last week lolol.

Oh lol 😂😂😂 you smart fans are so clever. It takes real intellectual prowess to read stuff on the internet and listen to podcasts. Wish I could be a smart fan. Oh yeah not, smart is a term used to identify a section of the pro wrestling audience. It has nothing to do with intelligence. The very idea that such stupidity could be defended is tragic. It's because loser fans want to somehow feel like they're "involved" rather than sit back and watch the product as it's presented without snooping around for details online. The only thing worse than a "smart" fan is a fool so deluded that he refers to himself as a smart fan.

you mean hilarious to smarks. it sucked

@@ronmilitello4934 granted yes, but it was funny to hear jericho respond to matt that way. matt also held a smirk in. but sometimes that type of comedy doesnt belong in a segment they were pushing to be so serious. it prob would have been different or not as over the top as it wasnt this bad in impact if their was an audience. but yes it sucked.

This whole segment was garbage if this was wwe yall would shit on it

boomers gonna boom, this shit is too funny

@@Fofo-808 facts

I think people that support it expected Jim to praise it. Stupid of them, I know.

@@wrapwraper8777 I was mainly waiting to see how he felt about Matt after this segment. He respects Matt, so I wanted to see how much patience he had with the gimmick

@@wrapwraper8777 he probably liked it but because this went so far off the silliness chart that if he say liked it, he would look like a hypocrite

and able to turn on the lights raising his arms but let's not talk about that being "phoney bullshit"

Nah but there’s a certain performance aspect to it that we can buy. It’s almost like those movements are cues for the team to do his bidding. His never acknowledged dead historical figures

Similar. Both teleporting. But very different visually. Undertake is just flicking the lights on and off. Very fake but simple. Forgivable. Matt Hardy was literally “teleporting” all over the place blatantly right in front of our eyes outlandishly. It was WAY too much. Edit: plus AEW isnt suppose to do this stuff. It’s suppose to NOT be sports entertainment and be “sports centric” hahaha.

Loser Brando AEW switched that whole sports centric mindset many months ago when they saw it doesn’t draw (someone show HHH the same thing lol) However, can’t compare undertaker or even fiends teleporting AT ALL. Show a non fan all 3 of those and they will be laughing at Matt’s teleporting so hard. Corniest shit I’ve ever seen

Jordan with that logic, Brock sets off pyro by throwing his arms down. Cmon man that teleporting was BAD. Doing it lights out style made 100000% more sense, it is at least more believable. If you think they are the same thing, go back and look at Chris clearly shifting between scenes and try and tell me that isn’t insulting your intelligence. Would never throw on AEW when I’m hanging out with non fan friends if they are gonna see abysmal television like that. Even non fans find undertaker interesting because they make it work. Only phony thing about taker is the cgi lightning

Exactly I like the broken universe I thought it was amazing

Humor has a place in wrestling. This isnt wwe dick and fart joke crap, this is the broken universe and i love it!😁

Where were we supposed to see it?? That's like Shaq talking about British basketball...

Bruh!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I laughed so hard

I laughed till I cried.

Its the....."OK OK hold on" that killed me😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂 ikr

So true, the best angles are always the most realistic ones. The Undertaker gets a pass tho cuz he’s literally the fucking Undertaker. 😂

Lol there's literally a sport called wrestling that's awesome and the US has a ton of stars right now. And there's UFC that consistently has had better storylines than any wrestling promotion for years. Why would anyone give af about sports based fake wrestling with a bunch of character-less nerds fake fighting for no reason outside of a few that have a chance at the belt😂🤣

The Fiend and Alexa, Demon Balor, Broken Matt. What got them over was never the supernatural shit, its the aesthetics. The Psycho Clown and his Harley Quinn, The Sprite from Hell, the Pompous Goth Aristocratic...

He's AEW's Phill Mushnick!

I love that analogy

@ALMIGHTY IRONHEAD25 woah man, what's wrong with being gay?

@ALMIGHTY IRONHEAD25 what a fucking crybaby lol

Holy fuck, perfect description of Corny! I love it

I knew this would be hilarious 😂😆

vs. Broken Matt Hardy! Take my money!!

I don't watch wrestling anymore but I'd tune in for Bugs Bunny. Now there's a draw!

Space Slam!!! Bugs bunny must form a tag team with jazz hands Olivier to defeat the MEGAPOWERS or else the looney tunes will be slaves in moron mountain

@@AMoran95 stooooop! Can you set up a Kickstarter?! I'm in!

It would work if it was MeatCanyon's version of Bugs Bunny. "Hey Matt.....ya got a tight little manpussy on ya, dontcha? *sniffs* aaaaah! Stinks. Nice and good"

TheSaveme1 I feel like Jim would either have an aneurysm or just refuse to review it

@@elliotaddler2302 Especially if it was the one The Rock 'n' Roll Express took part in.

He would probably have a heart attack first lol 😂

@@TheSaveme1 Oh I would totally pay to see his reaction. He'd be so angry watching the Express in it!

I want him to review Invisible Man vs Invisible Stan

Jim Cornette on his next video will probably be calling AEW a Mud Promotion LOL

Yep he will......on patreon

He can't help himself but to continue to watch his points here are valid

It view needening

Because he'll lose a shit ton of viewers, lol.

Still love him though!

That damn Jim "wants some credibility in wrestling" cornette..

@Rafael REALLY!!???!! Game changer.. Thanks bro... now that I know it's fake, let's have an Omega vs giant dildo match..... that'd be HILARIOUS..

Lauchie "Let's Teleport Tired Ass Jokes" Maddaleni.

@@The_Eastbound_Hyena hehe!!

Same. I couldn't wait to hear his take

Agreed. I liked the rest of the segment except for the teleporting.

Something that is overlooked is that Wyatt, Kane, Undertaker and the likes have all been billed with supernatural powers when they debuted (the characters, not the wrestlers) but for an adrenaline junkie to become this supernatural god is a bit iffy

Jim hated the Undertaker teleporting. I don't know why you think he was okay with it.

@@richiehunt5097 I Don't Think It's Unreasonable To Think They Didn't Just Hack The Cameras And Stage Pyro, That's What My Whole Family Assumes When We See That Stuff.

Matt fucking Hardy is not the goddamn Undertaker.

@@richiehunt5097 maybe he hated it, i dont remember him saying so. The greater point is he called it and acted as if it was real the same way he's complaining schiavoni is doing for hardy. He's done it himself but rips others for doing it. That's the hypocrisy. Not that he liked or hated Taker doing the twleport but that he played it as straight then as tony s. is doing now.

@@TheKyleMark Annddd whats your point? I mean, no shit hardy iant taker. But hardy is now using a gimmick most famously used by taker so if you hate the gimmick and think its stupid for announcer to put over, then you are being hypocritical and disengenuous to not admit that at one point you were putting it over yourself when a different character used it. Why was it ok for you to put over taker teleport but tony cant do same for matt?

"I dont like your political opinions on social media" Jericho has on point comedic timing

Matt Hardy sucks that's why

Meltzer, the guy that is so up the arse of some of their talent that they could take a shit on his chest and he would give it 5 stars. So yeah, if Meltzer didn't like it, it's really bad, and it was.

@@jimjiggles1474 Alvarez didnt like it either

it wasn’t bad fuck meltzer honestly🤷🏽‍♂️

@Rafael really? Critics usually have devoted, cult like followings that tend to take their word as gospel. But Rafael knows all.

Right the CHARACTER he played... NOT the ACTUAL guy in ACTUAL charge of the ACTUAL promotion making ACTUAL decisions.

Bahaha

MLW

NXT fucking sucks. Nothing but skinny twigs doing flips. You want sports based wrestling? Watch Olympic wrestling.

AEW announced they would be "sports based" when they launched

@Ezio Auditore probably cause hes old and white. U know them type.

@@KokoTheGorilla69 and look what there booking now

100 percent agree with you.

christopher olivarez Agreed. I loved undead old west Undertaker.

@christopher olivarez the teleportation was super janky tho, it wasn't even done that well

Having him be crazy would just make him generic and unfunny. That's literally all that WWE did for the most part with their stupid "Woken Matt" run, which nobody liked except for the Utlimate Deletion between him and Bray, which was also the only thing that resembled the original Broken character from his run in TNA. I think your take just shows that you don't understand the appeal of the Broken gimmick. If you had Broken Matt Hardy just in a room and didn't have anyone else to work with? He wouldn't be able to make gold from nothing. But the true entertainment value of Broken Matt Hardy, or Undertaker for that matter, is seeing characters that are more based in reality work with them. That's where the gold comes in. It's not enough just to see Broken Matt speak to a boat. But when you see that boat break up a pin, and then the heel wrestlers go nuts over it and start attacking the boat shouting "fuck you boat!" That's the gold. The "Broken Universe" is something that is exclusive to Matt Hardy and his storylines, and it doesn't impact the realism of other characters or feuds. In fact, in order for the Broken character to be truly great, he has to play off of characters that are built upon realism. Just like Undertaker. When you see Undertaker do that slow walk to the ring, there's not a lot to it by itself: but let's look at Summerslam 2008's Cage Match with Taker and Edge. What made Taker seem so great during that match, was Edge's acting. Taker is such a destructive, horrifying threat in Hell in A Cell, that it's enough to drive a normally calm and collected wrestlers like Edge, Shawn Michaels, hell, Triple H: it's enough to make all of them almost shit their pants, and they almost become different people. It's like knowing that you have to actually go and fight a supernatural force. And the greatness of him came from the fact that it wasn't just a facade. He wasn't just some tough guy who everyone was scared of: he was a *phenom*, an entity of pure destructive energy. Up until Lesnar, every wrestler who didn't take that seriously quickly perished, and rightfully so. In order to have even stood a chance against Taker, you had to believe in what he really was. I guess my point is that, you don't have to necessarily be obsessed over be into a supernatural gimmick for a storyline *involving* a supernatural character to be interesting. And just making Matt Hardy crazy would make him generic, because there's already too many great instances of crazy or insane characters that exist right now, let alone in the past. The Broken gimmick is truly unique, and it's definitely one of the most original things that was produced in the world of Wrestling for the past decade. Hell, I'd say past five decades.

@@toadysp it would not just be crazy, it would be schizo crazy, he'd actually think he was all these different people and then he'd eff with everyone but it wouldn't be janky teleportation, it'd be smoke and mirrors and actually have some realism to it so that the hokey bs wouldn't detract from his character.. and then you'd have him "break" that 4th wall like he wasn't really crazy so you'd have the audience wondering if he really was a bunch of personalities or was just doing it to eff with people and thus the circle keeps turning and he's essentially the same character but at least there's the "I could see that" at play

Kane debuting by tearing the door off of the cell was Jim's idea!

Jason Garfield Bardy then there’s the hypocrisy of Cornette. Some unbelievable supernatural thing outside of the ring that no human being could really do. Yet when he’s in the match he has a match just like anyone else would.

@@jonl13 Yeah, Taker can summon lightning at will, but insists in playing by the book rather than electrocuting even is worst rivals.

@@mangrove well.. there is a difference of doing something that requires incredible strength.. and teleporting

death-by-ego There it is: Kane and Taker were both 6’10” or more, and physically imposing. I’m sure that if it weren’t for the mask, the fans would’ve been less likely to buy it, as well. They might’ve recognized him as Issac Yankem/ Fske Diesel, and that could’ve killed it.

Yeh the drone was barely forgivable because it was kinda funny but the teleportation bs was too much.

Yet you can defend Undertaker's dis/appearing with a gong?

@@eastwaters4082 we all know that he hides below the ring

@N e g r i t o [tenfold] AEW is supposed to be real wrestling not sports entertainment! They lied to everybody!

@N e g r i t o [tenfold] And don't mention Orange Cassidy! I think his whole gimmick is that his a troll! Nobody in real life can teleport! At least not yet!

You'd think he could travel back in time and prevent all of Jeff's legal issues

@N e g r i t o [tenfold] Yes really. It was funny. It was the right amount of Jericho "playing along" with the Broken gimmick

Yeah gold if you're a stupid idiot or just don't like pro wrestling. Harley Race would have twisted the little peanut head off any stupid fool that suggested such idiocy. You don't sell tickets with stupidity. You make people suspend disbelief and buy into the emotion. This is why the AEW audience doesn't grow. They have the same fans that have been there from day one. That don't cut in on network tv. You have to grow the audience. And non fans and lapsed older fans aren't getting on board with the silly stupidity.

@@Michael_Chandler_Keaton 👍 Hell yea!

@N e g r i t o [tenfold] The "real" Chris Jericho? Armbar? Stupid hair guy? Festival of Friendship? Running around Washington with a WCW camera man looking for Dean Malenko? That Jericho? Yeah, he's a super serious badass. (I realize it doesn't come across very well on the internet but that was sarcasm)

@N e g r i t o [tenfold] How the fuck did I prove your point? All you did was spout some nonsense about the "real Jericho" which ignores most of his history. And no one has called me kiddo in at least 30 years so I'm going to take that as a compliment.

If there was anything redeeming, it's because Jericho carried it.

@Preston Snow you

"Fanboys" "Marks" I suppose you are "one of the boys" huh?

They didn't when it happened in wwe.

@Kevin Stanfield Definition of a “mark” is someone that loves to watch 40 minute wrestling workrate matches with alot of kick outs and no selling. You know what you are , fat mark.

@@ronaldcole6101 how many times did the fiend kick out after Seth's finishers and sledgehammer shots? The definition of a mark is somebody who insults others on the internet because they like a different style of fake fighting. Keyboard warrior mark.

@@ronaldcole6101 lol that's not what mark means you kid. Mark means over obsessed fan even when knowing it's fake. Taking everything serious about wrestling.

@@AJ-xv7oh What's the difference? A zombie mortician that spent too much time in a graveyard is believable over an entity that has lived thousands of years and occupies different bodies?

Yes it's sports entertainment! AEW was supposed to be real wrestling!

@@eastwaters4082 Yeah i remember the 1000 times the Undertaker has disappeared and reappeared in differant, poorly edited camera shots. Oh wait..... thats never happened.

@@AJ-xv7oh You're cherrypicking one little difference in character compared to the amount of ridiculousness is in both.

Considering Kane was Jim's idea I am guessing yes. And oh yes, how could we forget Undertaker's drone? This Broken stuff is cringe.

@@akeminakajima449 He's complaining about the magic while Undertaker does it too.

@@akeminakajima449 Yes undertaker being buried alive multiple times, teleporting into the ring, summoning lighting etc is very believable in comparison to Broken Matt.

No because they could pull it off and Matt can't. He can't even pull off a fake english accent for fux sake.

No it's because both Taker and Kane actually looked intimidating while doing it. Matt looks like a regular human.

It was never once sold as teleporting, it was sold as if he snuck into the ring to scare his opponents.

I don’t think it’s double standards as much as it fits their gimmick. Taker is this undead mystic entity so it works in that regard. But I’d rather he just came from underneath the ring. Kanes whole gimmick is that he was burned in a fire and embraced it and is one with it. Not to mention taker only “teleports” once. Matts was pretty dumb. One teleport ok weird but sure but a bunch? Ok no.

@@taisou108 Eet ees not supposed to be an Eenglish accent, obsolete mule.

@April Mc I agree with him in many respects that when you do these massive dives out of the ring every match or multiple times in a match, it delegitimizes the move. But yes if a match is left as just the standard 10-20 wrestling moves/holds, it does make a match pretty boring.

@@MrPicklescoop Cody and Dustin done a match basically from the 80s. I don't think a boring match will bring fans to tears. They told a great story in the ring and it got over. It's by far one of the best matches in AEW history.

@@Wadzillia agreed, it was a kickass match. The key is making sure to tell a compelling story with the match, which they did with the story going in AND the story in the ring. That's a perfect example of how to use the true techniques of wrestling. Often when wrestlers stick to the basics of wrestling it does come off boring, maybe they aren't telling enough of a story to me? But on the same note, I don't need EVERY match to have the "giant leap from the ring onto a gaggle of people" move. It makes it seems less impressive, especially when it's overdone.

@Quake: Destroyer of worlds so they are supposed to love every piece of crap aew shits out

Do you also dislike undertakers lightning from his hands and kanes fire? Better stop watching anything in wrestling past the late 80s like Jim

A McDonald I will not do a comments war. I was an attitude era kid and yes I disliked undertakers lightning (to be honest ministry taker was best taker to me ) and I don’t know if I would call Kane’s pyro him controlling fire , but to each his own . Regardless I forgot when it comes to wrestling especially AEW (Which for the record I love a lot of what they do , sorry jim I enjoy pockets , ) you can’t dislike or question anything they do or you’re considered old fashioned

joseph abbazia The segment really wasn’t that bad. And yes Kane’s Pyro was him controlling fire just like undertaker could control the lights. It’s really not too far off from Attitude era stuff which everyone seems to think was perfect I don’t see why it’s getting so much backlash. The woken character has always been weird. Everyone love it in 2016 so what’s the issue now

@@josephabbazia6135 Nah Im ok with negative for example this weeks aew with 10 people in a room as crowd was terrible. People need to remember this company is in it's very early stages and just like WCW and WWE it will make mistakes on gimiick and segs. AEW try to learn from the mistakes and adjust to fan feedback. What I do not like is Jim shitting on anything that does not mimick 80s wrestling. If the average fan wanted that style of wrestling NWA would be on cable tv with over a million viewers. It is not and no show like that will ever be. Jim just does not understand that. Also ministry taker tried to sacrafice steff on a cross..... really?

@@ChildishOVO If I was to give a negative as an AEW fan I would say he teleported to many times. Once from the top to the middle to the bottom was fine. He went a bit trigger happy with it.

In that case, he most likely would have been hidden under the ring and came up during a blackout.

There was an interview (or maybe that's not the term, it was a sit down between him and Paul Bearer) he did with Paul Bearer a long time ago, where he mentioned that he always felt Undertaker and Kane were the exceptions, where you can go over-the-top beyond reality or something like that...

To be fair, Undertaker and Kane's supernatural stuff was at least presented in a serious way. Matt Hardy's stuff is comedy based which is obviously going to piss Jim off more.

@Rafael for a guy who wants something like that isn't it strange having a podcast where he expose the fact that wrestling is fake every week?

@Rafael exactly!!! But it's the only way to stay relevant i suppose...

Andrew Undertaker and Kane are sports entertainment. AEW said sports entertainment was lame and they weren’t going to go that route. They said they were not going yo insult the fan’s intelligence.

To be fair, Kane was doing that since the debut of the character, it was established that Kane did that. Matt Hardy debuted as a high flying adrenaline junkie, so it starts to get a little weird when you see the same guy suddenly having supernatural powers

I think that, to a certain degree, you have to consider a wrestler starting at a new promotion as something of a fresh slate. Wrestlers have changed their gimmicks when changing companies, and we have to let that go and not necessarily consider that it's the same person, so to speak. The Ringmaster isn't The Rattlesnake. The Rhodes' aren't Goldust and Stardust. Brodi Lee isn't a member of the Wyatt family. Now with Matt Hardy, he is now the vessel for Damascus.

don't forget undertake and his teleportation is absolutely okay, but someone else? NAH let's all freak out and trash it

@@dewolx7411 is undertaker a tag team jobber or a 30 year vet?

@giftofgab247 Given the amount of coke that the hardies have consumed, I would suspect teleporting is the least of their super powers.

Tony Khan is a mark. He is the male Dixie Carter

And what did air, aired with a warning to viewers about its stupidity

But was Abraham Lincoln there?

@Snoop Frogg Lol!

Taker made the ring explode with Kurt angle standing in it

@@RJTheAlternative1 yeah and Jane commanded fire lol

Kane lol

Kayfabe was still somewhat alive in the early-mid 90s, and particularly the Undertaker character was SO protected and maintained the same exact tone with everything he was involved in, that you could buy into the commitment to all of that death schtick. Hardy was normal two weeks ago and there’s no real explanation as to what all of these “side characters” like the drone have been up to since the last bit of Woken stuff. And the Undertaker character was constantly evolving and became more and more realistic over time. We’re in year 5 of the Broken universe and all that’s really evolved is the color in Matt’s hair.

don't fucking compare this to Undertaker

@@sgrshnshw ok.. I'll compare him to a "Kane" style paranormal push, If your ego was hurt or something?

@@CarloisBuriedAlive Too be fair to me, I haven't been following the "broken Matt hardy" thing before about a couple weeks before he was rumoured to join AEW. So I may be missing some vital storyiline stuff. I did also say I didn't agree with the push... To be fair to my point, The Undertaker (one of ifnot the greatest) Starred along side a chicken emerging from an egg, he was deep in the age of the gimmick, and even his immortal streak was about 60% low card matches, and half them against bullshit characters. A great gimmick evolves organically, and this may be the garden their choosing. All that aside, looking foreward to how this evolves. hope it get's better

Vrandack Undertaker faced Diesel, Kane, and Sid in the 90s, all WWE world champions, and ended his first streak decade beating Triple H and Ric Flair, and once the streak started becoming a part of his Wrestlemania storylines, the vast majority of those matches starting with Randy Orton were very well done. So the idea that the Undertaker’s streak is “mostly low card matches with nobodies” is exaggerated, but I do understand where you’re coming from.

I enjoyed it and thought it was great. Broken Matt Hardy is an excellent character.

Matt wasn’t being corny it’s his gimmick!

I thought the whole segment was amazing

I want implying that corny was a bad thing just that in order for your to do it you need the set to accept it and Jericho was playing it smark straight. That's not how you sell

Exactlyyyy. You can't cherrypick that one is ridiculous over the other. Both are ridiculous yet people will defend one because its "established."

I Assume He Hacked The Cameras Or Used Chris Angel Bullshit And Kayfabe Wise I Hope That's How They Take It. So Far No One Has Suggested That It Was 100% Real

@@fatherceltics2379 This is my problem with so many wrestling fans. They don't realize that EVERYTHING has to be spelled out for them. Sometimes you have to think for yourself and help the story along.

@@siranthony3711 No Entertainment Should "Spell Things Out For Them" That's Ridiculous And An Insult To Everyone's Intelligence. Yes They Should Explain That Matt Hardy Is Supposed To Be Crazy But They Shouldn't Have To Tell You That He Isn't Actually Possessed By A Fucking Ancient Entity.

His recent video explains that were holograms projected by his drones

Lior Solid 5 Keep up crap like they just served, they’ll have empty arenas in perpetuity.

@@likewhoaitstrent6925 crap? Are you even watching the show? Sure, it was a wacky segment but I wouldn't call it crap.

@@likewhoaitstrent6925 Hahaha! Someone is bitter that AEW is doing so well. People still tuning in every week to watch Reigns eat dog food or that cringy love triangle? Or to see their favourite young talent get buried for no reason? WWE has been consistently serving you crap for years and you write your comment thinking it holds any weight. Rofl, fuck off.

Snake you know what sports entertainment is right??? You can kinda get away with the goofy shit WWE pulls, it’s a tv show, it’s about telling stories. AEW is a wrestling promotion that’s doing stupid shit that WWE does. That’s what makes AEW looking pathetic.

Jason Woot .....nice gymnastics. Better than WWE’s lol

Hell yeah they will, this old fart is hypocrisy on its purest form 👌😎

Of course. Corny basically is the podcast replacement for Bruce Blitz.

I wonder if it was meant to be a little tongue in cheek that the editing was obvious, because they knew it'd be near impossible to make it seamless throw in a big obvious edit as a knowing wink (given there were a few knowing comments from Jericho and the commentary) but i may be given them too much credit. Personally I would have done something like that so maybe I'm assuming it's a fun nod to the reality of it all so in projecting onto it but either way I'm willing to let it go because I found it a load of fun

I did not enjoy it, but it was shoddy

@@davidmc5762 i think it would be easy to make it seamless tbh. All youd have to do is cut up the matt teleporting then film jericho seperately and just overlay it and cut out the stands.

@@Jaggybabs in an outdoor setting you'd still see lighting changes as they can't control the sun & Matt can't truly teleport so the whole process would take time. Also you'd still need to blend those shots and given the time frame and the fact they likely don't have any SFX specialists on hand it'd still likely appear pretty obvious

They switched out video clips in a timeline instead of using masks and fading with clips laid over each other. The camera had a fixed position so it would be possible, even if the lighting on Hardy specifically would be slightly off it would've been better. Not a knock on the production team though, just a suggestion for improvement

Kovu Lion “forces people to play his puppets or he’ll beat them up” made me lmao. Agreed tho

So watch mid south or wccw and watch wrestling done right

@@cameron3578 I know what "wrestling done right" looks like but to me wrestling is art/ theater so saying there's only one way to do it just sounds limiting and close minded to me

There’s too much other bull shit. We want it to look real. Back in the day you always wondered if it was real or not. Nowadays there is no doubt that it’s fake and jt sucks dick.

@@supervado7962 duh, once wrestling become a complete work it became nothing more than a Shakespearean type morality play dressed up as a combative sport. People still took the sport aspect of it seriously, even if the people suspected the fix was in ... yet that's when wrestling was at it's best. It's been a "play" since at the very least, the 50's. It was a very successful one up until very recently. Most rational people don't care that it's a work, they just don't want their intelligence completely insulted like the silly wrestlers do on a very regular basis.

Well I see your a wwe fanboy who has to pretend everything. So all you have done is say that it’s something kinda dumb but great for you.
