Don't forget this was also during a show called "Fight for the Fallen" to honor the people affected by what is happening in Maui. Snowman Khan is a genius.
“Ok guys, how about this: A Midnight Express match but everyone in the match is dressed like the Midnight Rockers and you only win after hitting 10 super kicks.”
If only Robocop and Chucky could have somehow been involved, we may have had the greatest wrestlecrap match ever. C'mon Tony.. you know where your Dad keeps his checkbook......
This past Dynamite was the worst one they’ve ever had. I was extremely high and had to rewatch it the following day to make sure it wasn’t because I was close to being torched by the sun.
I haven't been this excited for a Cornette review in a while. I had to sit through it live and I was thinking "I hope Cornette rips this match to shreds."
I say it is about time. This hag is past his retirement and he was only sometimes good in his "prime." I can't stand Corny defending this muppet. OPEN YOUR EYES not just for this match but all the shit he has done especially in AEW.
The very first horror video game was Texas Chainsaw Massacre on Atari 2600. So, its been done before all the way back in the 1980s. Thats your fun fact for today.
Not trying to start an arguement but Haunted House for the Atari predated Texas Chainsaw Massacre by a year. There were other horror video games earlier. There was a computer game 3D for the ZX1 called Monster Maze that could be considered the first horror game released in 1981. If you want to go father depending whether you consider the Magnavox Odyssey a real video game system, the Haunted House from 1972 might be the first horror game but that's stretching it.
@@bw3230 Yes you are right im foiled again. However, its called haunted house but it doesn't have much going for it In the horror department. But it was the 80s. Maybe a giant orange ball scared kids back then. I don't know.
This is one of those times you can totally tell Little Tony was sitting in front of his TV late 80s/early 90s just loving what WCW was putting on. Just storing up ideas in his diary for when he has his own wrestling fed one day.
@@justint8635at least Russos booking could be entertaining in the same way you watch a car wreck you can't keep your eyes off it This is just bottom of the barrel bargin bin DVD C movie that kids make for their parents and they tell them it's good just to be nice when in reality it's crap because they don't know what they are doing
LMAO! Although I agree this match was the shits and that Cody's career is definitely better in the WWE. The bottom line is that Cody was a bitch in AEW. He booked himself like shit, hardly showed up for work (because he was too busy trying to be like The Rock and get Hollywood to notice him) and single handedly destroyed the reputation of the TNT title. As bad as AEW is, it would have been much worse had Cody stayed. The man had serious (dead) daddy issues.
When Cody Rhodes coulsnt be the fake Leatherface in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre match, that's hard times, when Cody is making millions headlining PPVs against stars like Roman Reigns & Brock Lesnar, that's Hard Times!
@TimeBomb014X Losing to Roman Roids and Mania and a pityful victory over a part timer like Lesnar, oh yeah Cawdy's definitely winning, lmao. He'll never get out of his daddy's shadow like his half-brother could never.
@@Birdman669 cut the fake tribalism bullshit. Just because someone is critical of AEW doesn't mean that they think WWE can do no wrong. Christ on a crutch.
Funny story: One Halloween many moons ago, my friend's dad (RIP) put a Jason mask on and was scaring little kids revving up one of those small, not full size, chainsaws with no chain. We got the cops called on us in about 20 mins. But those kids' memories probably lasted a lifetime.
I can’t wait to hear them review the MJF and Adam Cole segment, Tony Khan yelling at them like everyone doesn’t know he’s a joke and a push over really did it for me 😂
@@DavidOwen-yv8wz That was comedy gold, what was worse was the moment he opened the door and saw the camera was on he smiled and broke character going back coked out mark we know he is.
You're right, Jim. I play video games because I have too much time on my hands. I'll keep that in mind the next time I think about whether or not I should listen to your next 4 hour podcast episode.
On the plus side, at least we now all know exactly which match is definitely going to be on the AEW Dark Side Of The Ring episode AND the Rise And Fall of AEW, WWE special.
I have a private hobby of keeping track of those moments for AEW and you’re right. If WWE were smart they’d reuse the Mike Graham “Never drew a dime” clip about Jeff Jarrett.
As a kid on Saturday mornings we had video games and cartoons. As an adult we have M-rated video games, and this beautiful podcast ripping apart stupid stuff on wrestling this past week.
It’s funny how Jim shits on video games and says they’re “for kids” but he sells action figures to grown men and is known to appreciate comic books. 😂 It’s just as updated form of entertainment, Jim.
I was in the building live for this & God did it bomb live.. Aew also pumps the sound up for the TV show. It was dead silent in the building during this match ( & must matches) You could easily hear the Wrestlers calling spots all night
Im actually on the flip side of this as I've gone to a few shows. Aew production is actually kind of crap at times from the music sounding not as clear in the broadcast and chants actually being toned down. You can tell from this match though that the crowd was bored and the sound reflected that but I've been to shows where I can't hear myself speak and the broadcast is has this wierd muted sound to it
Now this is how you start off Saturday morning to hear Jim’s review of the worse AEW match in history, that Texas Chainsaw Massacre death match. Although the proceeds went to charity, it was an awful match that would turn any potential wrestling fan off from ever wanting to watch wrestling again. It was WCW 2001 awful. This is why I DO NOT watch Dynamite.
That’s where I disagree with Jim. This was really dumb, but not as dumb as a group of actual zombies eating Morrison and the Miz (just for them to be fine the next day of course). Really, it’s splitting hairs, but I’d still put that as more ridiculous, even if it’s by a small margin.
Both were dumb, but WWE always said they were an entrainment show first and wrestling second, so it’s not so bad. AEW claims to have “Real Sports Feel” 😂
Of course, Meltzer wasn't going to rate this match, but he remembered to shit on the Miz/Priest match. Also, Meltzer might be in time-out, he gave the Buck/Gunn Club match 3.75 stars. Remember Tony threw a tantrum for not giving Jericho a 5-star match.
@@chuckles9767 yeah, he didn't rate the women's match either on the show. Yet he rated the zombie match badly, which was a normal match for the most part with a silly thing after the match.
@@matthewhostetter8974 Bucks vs Gunns got 3.75? How? Even the mark-site and dirt sheet apologists couldn't bring themselves to say anything positive about that match.
the funny thing is. considering how much cornette loves comic books, if he was born in this day and age he would 100% be a gamer. 😂cuz then little jimmy could play as all his favorite heroes.
Cornette is baffled by the idea of grown men playing videogames yet comes from an industry where grown men were extremely passionate about fake fighters play-fighting.
I caught the end of this match and some of the clips and the first thing that came to mind was, "why in the world would someone want to pay homage to the bad ideas of early 90s WCW?"
I was completely dumbfounded and speechless. Jesus fucking christ!!! Texas death match in NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE. The intelligence level of this company is mind boggling
Yes! When l first heard from flabbergasted comments on here, l was all, well, neither of these wrestlers are from Texas, and they aren’t in Texas? Silly me, not knowing it was a particularly poor way of promoting a video game….
Hey Jim, I manage a warehouse in Florida. Every day is 93 feels like 110. I listen to your show the most when I relax AND PLAY VIDEO GAMES after work. In the words of Shane Douglas to Taz in 1997 - "calm the fuck down"
They make money mocking half naked people rolling around on tv, not to mention all of the forced 'political/social' influence push that evil wants one to cover.
I mean, it's an AEW show you went to. At this point, you didn't expect something that would make you feel embarrassed? They're a joke. How more instances do people need?
this match hurt me jeff jarrett was one of my favourite wrestlers as a kid, in the teenage years TCM was one of my favourite movies and the game was even made in my home city, i went to school with one of the devs, this cut deep
This “match” was EXACTLY what I had expected the minute I saw the promo of it the week before. I only watched it for the LAF level they were reaching out for.
This whole review was a box of awesome, but Jim's "what's the frequency Kenneth?" Iine at the end was the cherry-filled icing on the cake, topped with a kiss of perfection😅🎉
It’s sad to realize that Jeff Hardy’s DUI’s are more entertaining than his matches, and Jeff Jarrett can’t carry a tune to save his life anymore. What an absolute abomination.
@@jeepernj99 I don’t know about a tube - I said tune. LOL! It was a euphemism on my part to describe how he no longer seems able to have a quality match.
@@REVIVALFitness He probably doesn't have to though, everyone else in AEW seems to have creative control, so there's nothing stopping him from telling TK to book him in something that isn't an embarrassment.
Give Tony Khan credit he managed to create an event which was so poorly done that it took attention away from an actual natural disaster happening in Maui.
Oh man… i have been waiting for this lol. I’m glad Jim caught the fake chainsaw noise over the PA system lol. Don’t get me wrong.. this match was BAD… but for me, it got so bad, that i started enjoying it. Much like how Brian enjoys Moxley for how bad he feels he is. I found myself just laughing my ass off at how absurdly ridiculous and bad everything was, i was rooting for it to get worse and worse lol. This match will forever hold a special place in my heart 😂😂😂
I remember when Leatherface was actually a wrestler in USWA and made his debut. At least then he was using an actual chainsaw (minus the chain of course).
I'm convinced Jeff Hardy wants to die in the ring, and Jeff Jarrett thinks he can get ANYTHING over! If you liked this, you're why people think wrestling fans are idiots.
I didn't watch this, thankfully, but from the picture I saw, it looked like a Ryobi chainsaw, which would mean it's a battery powered chain saw. Assuming there was even a battery in it, you'd need to pull the switch back to get it to run, it doesn't stay running like a gas powered chain saw and it doesn't sound like a gas saw either.
