Jim Cornette Talks About His Experiences With Bullying In Wrestling 

I guess he was wrong about the nuke war thing.

The way he talks about most things if i didn't already know he was a Liberal I would assume he was Conservative af.

Grown adult men acting like children.

Pro wrestling was never ever meant to be corporate. You gotta be a man. You gotta have thick skin not everyone will like you. That guy should have whooped JBL with a bat.

Do have to disagree on 1 point. Adult male? yes. Adult men? Subject to debate.

Still waiting on that nuclear war

Why doesnt jbl ever pick on people like big show, lesnar or steiner! Why is he always after people who are decidedly weaker then him?

Corny is deceptively a big dude. He is like 6 foot and 250. I mean he was a little pear shaped but he had the racket and a temper and Condrey and Bobby to back him up

Nuclear War ? lol, Cornette falling for the Fake News

Anyone else remember that huge nuclear war that Jim is talking about?

As I like to listen to Jim Cornette, I have to disagree with his stance on bullying in wrestling. The main reason why is because WWE is still big on their anti bullying campaign hypocrisy. I worked with a guy that the entire place would take bets on how long people would last with him. He bullied me and pushed me on a nightly basis. I was smart enough to know that he had been there for a very long time, and that I could listen to what he said but not how he said it. The man was 6'3" and 275lbs. I seen him break a weld that held together the steel beams that kept forklifts from hitting the back of the machine with his foot. He said something to me one night right in front of the supervisor. I looked at the supervisor and said that if he didn't stop pissing me off, I was going to hit him in the head with a 2x4. We got along great after that. Worked with him as a great friend for 9 years when I was only supposed to last a week. Even though it worked out great for me, that is not the way you should handle problems like that. I would have hit him with a 2x4 if he said one more thing that rubbed me the wrong way. It could have gotten one or both of us hurt. We were about the same size and we were working in a factory. This wasn't like one of us was 6'3" and the other one was 5'0". We didn't have fans watching us and wanting to be like us. We didn't spend a whole lot of money putting advertisements out there against bullying. If any company does that, then ends up with an employee that gets called out publicly for bullying people, it makes it seem like they really are not against bullying at all in the first place. I've always known that WWE mostly full of shit when it comes to their public persona. Don't do drugs. How many wrestlers die early because of the drugs that WWe and other promotions claim to be against? We listen to the WWe universe. That's why nobody likes the wrestlers they are pushing, but they keep pushing them on the fans. Don't be a bully. That might just land you a high paying job on television and we will refuse to do anything about it when you get reported. I am glad that I don't watch this g rated shit anymore.

The final part is gold. Speak up if you're being fucked with, and if that doesn't deal with it then you take to the next level.

Who was the flat tire guy Jim was talking about?

AMAN JIM i agree with you 100%

Asking Jim C about bullying? Mr Temper Tantrum himself?

I was always an easy pick for bullying in my life, and made a lot of reports about a lot of people, and I understand Cornette's message here. If you cannot make your own form of peace deal with your tormentors, they will most likely never respect you, and even if they outwardly cut it out as far as can be proven to any authority source, they will possibly never stop trying to screw up your life when an opportunity presents itself, which can hurt even more. They are not entitled to the freedom to do so, but they will very likely find a way to have it.

I’m just wondering about that nuclear war you’re talking about. 2 years later. We’re still here.

I'm trying to find the episode where they read my question/Alice hate mail. it was on an episode of the experience. I talked shit about Alice being terrible,then I asked about that offensive looking man Tim Horner supposedly being an owner. Jim even said I half ass got back over with him due to my reference as Tim Horner as that offensive looking man. think it was episode 80 something. Hate mail from Brandt. Looks like I started the Alice and Horner hating years before it was cool.

I'm curious if James Mark Cornette would tell us what camera he used when he was a teenager taking photos at ringside?

The motor out of the car... That's actually funny

As a wrestling personality Jim you are a LEGEND! As a political commentator, you are a wrestling LEGEND. I listen to Jimmy as an escape from all this Bullshit going on and have for years. My only issue is with political comments like this bc no matter who it is about it is going to split the audience down the middle and nobody is going to agree 100%. I love you Jimmy, but can we just leave the political bullshit to the political bullshitters. Nothing but love for ya sir

As usual Jim wrong on politics.

Oh teenage boy photographer, maybe one of Pat's boys..

I enjoy listening to Jim but in this case,I can`t agree with him. Espically involving a trained wrestler bullying a non athlete announcer.

How did that nuclear prediction work out for you, Jim?

He's talking about Rene Dupree when he's talking about the young guy in ovw

Jim, all respect, but there's been a few times when you probably should have admitted they were pissing you off and quit rather than letting them wind you up to the point that you smacked Santino Marella upside the head and got fired instead

It’s 420 miles from Charleston sc to Charleston WV

In an industry with a bunch of testosterone filled guys with big egos, telling on their boss isn’t going to stop them from bullying you, the way to stop it is to show them you’re not one to be fucked with, and if they start again you just have to remind them that you’ll beat their ass again, that works better than any of that telling on them crap

Lighter fluid in someone's asthma inhaler! That is CRAZY , but funny as hell

There's a difference between "bullying" because a guy is misbehaving and the other roster guys see no other solution but to teach him a (nonviolent) lesson and the stuff the Kliq were up to, physical violence and verbal abuse for no reason. On the one hand, going to the office is probably your best option, but I understand what Jim is saying, if you're treating wrestlers like high school kids. No kid who knows anything is going to an authority figure for help if they're being bullied. That will only make things worse. Everyone who has ever been bullied knows that. You find out why you're being bullied, and if it's for something stupid you're doing, you change. If not, then it's just a toxic environment, so get out and expose the company after you're out.

my theory is that cornette just hates trump cause of that wwe appearance

Still waiting on that nuclear war 😆

I Am totally lost on this!! gimme sum feedback

Who is Jim talking about in the beginning?

Id bet money it was Kenny Dykstra

...Hey Jim.... WHat President has brought us to the brink of war... Let's Go Brandon

What nuclear war, with what country? stick to wrestling. Your great at it. Not so much the politics.

I love listening to Cornette but he was better off not even talking about this issue. If he wasn't cool with JBL he would NOT be saying this. I don't care what profession you are in, NOBODY should accept any type of unwanted harassment from anyone. And to end it by saying if you can"t stand up to the bully don't blame anybody is ridiculous.

This is what giving everyone participation trophies gets you lol

Cornette is one of the world's biggest hypocrites, and he seems clueless about it

Cornette bringing out Trump in damn near every video gotta be some Kayfabe shit to piss off a good portion of wrestling fans. I've never heard a Southern guy talk like that for real.

There is nothing "professional" about professional wrestling.

This dude can't go one Episode without bringing up Trump. Trump is living in his head rent free.

Jim speaks the Truth these are wrestlers not kids. We are a world now where everyone gets a trophy. Men are not allowed to be men. Anyone 50 and over has to be terrified in the direction we are going. Btw Brock Lezner is a tool as a person imo he shows up at main events while most talent busts their ads up and down the road 320 plus days a year. Lezner has no respect for the other wrestlers who paid their dues even though he had smart representation. Jim sees things and forms his opinions from the inside my opinions are mostly just conjecture. This channel is great.

Good point Jim! This can also apply to ALL people at all ages and may life issues!🤔

Who was the "kid" Cornette was referring to? He couldn't possibly mean Brock Lesnar, right?

Does anyone who who the OVW story was about? I'm guessing Renee Dupree.

Seems like solid advice to me.

You’re so close Jim - how about we say All bullying is bad. It’s not about whether it’s done by kids or done to women - It’s that it’s wrong and it should be called out every time

Pushed the cage over lol

On the inside it's taken care of once and for all. Plenty of black bags for you to take your last ride to freedom. First question entering the Penn, "In case something goes wrong, where do we send the body".

So who was the guy who got the air let out of his tires?!

I'm just saying if every wrestler had a gun which being in a different town every night i would suggest because is a danger there already being very wealthy and famous and people trying something, I would carry a gun like Kamala used to do when he worked with Andre then no one would mess with you.

Is he talking about Renee Dupree?

1:15. That aged like fine wine or a sticky laptop. Stick to wrasslin Jim.

How many times can you clear your throat in 15 mins? Holy fk!

I used to bully Haku when I was in the wrestling industry

I was just becoming a fan of this guys rants and then he drops his political view which turned out to be 1,000,000 % incorrect, dude just lost all credibility,.. Now I realize he is just jealous of Shawn

Lmao! What are you doing? We're letting the air out of you're tires. Why? Because You're an asshole. Are you going to help me blow them back up? uh.. well no we won't be doing that because as we mentioned you're an asshole" 😂😂😂😂 I love Jim

Jim's gotta take a shot at Trump and that's when the video stopped for me. Grow up Jim. We're not on the brink of nuclear war.

I dont think Cornette is blaming the victims, rather giving them an advice. In his own southern way

Love Jim but his Trump DS was unnerving.

You guys think Jim will talk about Hana Kimura? I understand what happened to her is unfortunate but am I terrible for thinking that she could have heeled it up to the reality show marks that send hate towards her over social media to get these suckers to buy a ticket and go to a wrestling show she is at? Am I a piece of shit for thinking is a missed opportunity of generating legitimate heat like in the old days where fans used to legitimately hate the heel's guts and be willing to buy a ticket to watch them get their shit kicked in?

I have been bullied 3 times in grades 6 - college. Each time was a one time deal. Lost 2 times and won once. It is better to lose your own battles than have someone else do it for you. Else your spine will never forgive you....probably why all these kids are depressed

Ribbing, Harmless pranks, Playful banter.. It’s forms of hazing that’s been around for generations. Some bully because they’re just mean, Wanna establish they’re the Alpha. Doesn’t matter the situation. The “Wrestling” Business is predicated on Bullying. The Heels making life hell for the Babyface’s. Then, after weeks and months the payoff. The Good Guy vanquishes the dastardly heel. Why this is still even a topic is beyond me.

Would love to have dinner with Cornette and listen to him all night. Two rules: No F-bombs, and no politics. He needs to realize most of the fans who lined his pockets with money over the years likely voted for Trump.

Jim's extremely unenlightened political takes have certainly aged poorly on these older clips. The dumbass remark about nuclear war may be the worst considering recent events.

let's be real here Jim is friends with JBL and doesn't even know Mauro Ranallo If JBL had done that to Jim Ross it would have been a completely different story sorry, somebody needed to say it

Cornette..I love you but you're wrong on this situation. Times have changed. wrestling business has changed and needs to continue to change.. get used to it..

Wish he would leave his Chef Boyardee Moron politics out of it

BTW how is that Trump nuclear war going..? Haven't heard of it..

Oh I didnt know O'BombA was still in the White House when Cornette recorded this video

🎾🤓

Your Trump bashing is hilarious to listen to a few years later.. all of it turns out wrong. “This idiot is about to enter us into nuclear war” Good call Jim

Two years later, no nuclear war, and peace with North Korea. Same president, too. I love ya, Jim, but stick to talking about wrestling.

Funny 4 years later and we’re still under threat of nuclear war from Russia, but with an actual lunatic in the White House.

So Cornette is all about blaming the victim.

this all boils down to "that man was mean to me"

Think of being bullied as an opportunity to grow stronger and earn respect. Just remember to fight back because it you just take it you'll keep getting it.

Look at all the dorks commenting. Trump has "threatened" nuclear war more than once confirmed by his own public statements and his former advisors. Conservatives are so precious.

Jim is a man's man and by no way a snitch

Being a man or a woman has nothing to do with it, Jim. Nobody should be subject to bullying at the workplace. Practical jokes are a different thing, though in some cases it's a fine line.

Love ya Corny but u had it all wrong on Trump.

Somehow, someway Cornette will find a way to blame Christians, conservatives or Russo.

Support your president jimmy

That “Trump is gonna start a nuclear war” comment has aged horrendously. XD
