The Jim Cornette vs Russo Incidents 

"And if there´s a afterlife I`ll come back to haunt his ass" Fuck, I started laughing so hard. Gotta love Jim.

I would at least mention the Brawl for All and how Cornette feels about that and how Corny blames Russo for Owen's death.

The fact that somebody like HBO hasn't tried to create a documentary or a dramatized documentary about WWE in the 90s and early 00s. Cornette, Russo, Vince, and all the controversies and stories behind the scenes. All the while wrestling was at its all-time high with fans. I'm guessing it's because whoever made it would be sued in MINUTES, knowing the people involved

That email from Cornette got me crying right now oh my god 😂😭😭😭 bro is so verbally wild when he’s angry it’s amazing

I died at the part where he talks about Cornette waking up after having dreams of murduring Russo LOL

The problem with Russo is he genuinely came into the business and wanted to make it better and feel bigger. Once he saw the show he saw it as a joke and ran with it. So in Cornette's and many others' eyes, Russo destroyed what made Wrestling actually good.

It's a small blip on the radar, but the tasteless "Oklahoma" gimmick that Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara (who played the character) created on WCW television was what soured me against the Russo camp. Not only was this a blatant shot at Jim Ross (a close friend of Jim Cornette, and as the Head of Talent Relations in WWE, was responsible for scouting and developing talent), but it also made fun of JR's real-life Bell's Palsy condition. Making fun of a person's real-life medical condition is already a line crossed, not to mention being a malicious middle finger directed at a former employer. Cornette actually confronted Ferrara over it, but surprisingly, Ferrara admitted it was in bad taste instead of following Russo's trademark "it's just a prank, bro, get over it" attitude.

He signed the restrained order "The Stalker" Jim Cornette....I'm dead 🤣🤣

I think these two guys are just from different worlds. Cornette is an old school wrestling "love of the game" type, and Russo is basically a reality TV producer. He's got a great sense of the psychology of television and what makes people stay tuned to a TV show. Jim thinks the psychology of the matches themselves should be the draw and understands what makes a wrestling match compelling. They both are good at what they do, but their mentalities clash. Also Vince is kind of slimy and Jim is kind of crazy.

hearing Cornette go off on a Russo rant always makes my day 😂

Nobody can cut a promo like Corny, absolute legend.

We should see this match at WrestleMania 40 Edit: actually, I think Saudi Arabia would be a better place to hold this match 😭

More like “why Jim cornette hates Vince Russo”

that email from cornette is wild af 💀 how you let somebody get that far under ur skin ur dreaming about murdering them that’s crazy

You probably can add in the culture difference between the two. Jim coming from Kentucky and Vince coming from Long Island.

I think it's so wild that Russo is older than Cornette

I always believed that Russo's style could work if he had a filter, which was at least Vince McMahon at the very least in WWE. When he runs his own show is when it goes to hell.

Russo and Cornette are one of the biggest feuds and hates in wrestling history,and they still hate each other to this day. It’s been thirty long years and they still won’t bury the hatchet. I guess the only way to end this feud is to put these guys in a wrestling match. Now that’ll be a crazy thing to watch.

I actually wanna see a video of you talking about Jim Cornette's hatred for Kevin Dunn.

I get the vibe that Cornette hates Russo, and Russo only cares about Cornette because he keeps threatening him lol

Jim's email is the greatest thing I've ever heard

I think cornette especially recently understands Kenny more than hates him. He understands that in Japan Kenny is so over doing the exact same thing he does over in the States. At frise he did hate him but if watch the Omega vs Ospreay review Jim did, you’ll hear Jim over and over say that Kenny is much better in Japan than the USA

I never agree with murder or anything of that nature. But Cornette was right about what was going to happen to TNA under Russo's supervision. Impact fell hard and to me it was so sad to see because I wanted to see them succeed and become something truly special.

Cornette has a supernatural ability to string together profanity and insults without stuttering

Cornette and Russo 2 people who despise eachother to where one would rather die than be one of the last 2 people alive with the other. Brett Hart and Goldberg eat your hearts out cause you ain't wrestlings biggest blood feud. By this rate the moment Cornette and Russo make up and decide to patch it if it ever happens it'll feel like a Christmas miracle

I wonder how it is now because Russo said that the heat is one sided, he even said that he would give cornette a free shot and even invited him to disscuss it on his podcast

I love Cornette as a storyteller, but no one who writes an email like that is a rational human being.

Honestly, looking back I really think Corny should've handled that better. But at the same time I really can't blame him because Vince Russo damned near everyone ended by DQ; Now I understand that having one or two matches ended in DQ to build heat for heel wrestlers but not almost every match. So, I can understand why Jim was upset.

The way I look at it is Cornette comes from the old school of wrestling, which says "the biz" is professional Wrestling. Russo was new school, which calls it "sports entertainment". Russo wanted to do new things with new ideas, but he spit on all the traditions of the old way, and in so doing also spit on the intelligence of the fans. All the "on a pole" matches Russo kept pushing is a prime example. I am FIRMLY in the corner of Cornette in this feud. If Russo had a bit more respect for the business, it may have been different.

What about a "Why is Dixie Carter hated"?

Hating Vince Russo is the only thing keeping Jim Cornette going lol

It’s rich how cornette harps on Russo not having a job in wrestling when he’s just as toxic to have in a company

Cornette has about 10 times the subs and views that Russo does. There's the irony of Russo considering Cornette old school and out of touch... Seems Cornette has dated well while Russo has run off even fans of his earlier works.

Can you do a video about Bret hart and Goldberg hate each other?

There should be a Darkside of the Ring episode about the beef between these two guys.

Although Russo's booking was bad, by and large, he had some good ideas in there too. But when I watch his interviews and some of his podcast, he comes off as a likeable guy, imo. I love Cornette. Some of his rants are too much for me and I do think he comes off bitter and full of vitriol sometimes. But I love him. He's so goddamn hilarious and has a brilliant and quick mind.

Im gonna need for someone to tell Cornette this: Wrestling isn’t that damn important that you pretty much threaten to murder someone.

I'm training to become a pro wrestler.

I think their problem is they have two polar opposite personalities. Jim is a traditional sports entertainer, and Vince likes T and A and trash wrestling. Jim is passionate, obsessed even, and Vince doesn’t care at all. But that’s his problem he DOESNT CARE. And despite all his obsessive wackiness I’d rather have a guy who cares booking my shows than a guy who doesn’t

Something that people who didn't follow Cotnette's work don't understand is that the type of wrestling he likes is old school, 70s and 80s NWA style. That's the stuff he likes: "sports-based" wrestling. The clownshow that happened frequently in the mid 90s WWF, with all the occupation gimmicks, Mantaur, IRS, the Red Rooster, this is the shit that Vince McMahon likes. By all accounts. All the people who worked with McMahon and are outspoken about it say this. And as Pat Patterson once said, no matter who's on the creative team, the WWF only has one booker and that's Vince McMahon. Look at the lame ass stuff we've been getting until recently when Vinnie Mac was still in charge of creative. Max Dupri, ninjas, Killer Kross, selfie gimmicks, Nikki's Ass, The Rock's egg, I could go on, but I won't. Are people gonna put that In Cornette's tab too? When the last time he booked anything for the WWF was 25 years ago?

Jim Cornette has not liked wrestling of any kind since 1986.

Here is how I see the feud between Russo and Cornette: Cornette is part of the old guard where wrestling was wrestling, and Russo wanted to do more exciting matches. Knowing the type of personalities that they are, Cornette was rubbed the wrong way by Russo, and Russo believed that Cornette is a fossil for not adapting to the times.

The video we been waiting for, cool video as always Tom, you have a great weekend 💯

It’s funny how they are similar to each other but from opposite sides. Russo was right that wrestling needed to get away from the cartoon style that wwf was in but cornette was right that u don’t need to make wrestling as good as possible. Both of their greatest strengths are also their greatest weaknesses.

i saw the last few videos concerning vince and cornette, this has been the first video in a long time that i'v actually been waiting for from a youtube channel, i hope you haven't overhyped it :P was hoping to learn something rather than just a collection of statements they both made about each other and a timeline of when they worked together

I don't think Russo really hates Cornette. Atleast he doesn't show it. Cornette on the other hand lol

The issue with Jim Cornette, he could get over the fact that Vince Russo made the WWE better. Vince Russo told Vince McMahon the truth that he need to give up on the cartoon gimmick. Vince Russo saw where the WWE was heading. The ratings were low and WCW was winning the war. Vince Russo was the only guy who told Vince McMahon he need to change the cartoon gimmick and focused on older audience. Jim Cornette on the only was too damn stuck up, acting like a tough guy, acting like wrestling don't be the change. They need to stick with the old-fashioned way. This is the same Jim Cornette who did the AWA invasion when the Attitude Era was kicking off. The same Jim Cornette who say The Midnight Express the greatest tag team champion ever. And guess what, The Midnight Express got boo at the arena while the New Age Outlaw, The Nation of Domination and DX was making a name for himself.

It brings me joy to know that Russo tarnished his ability to join a legitimate wrestling company because now everyone knows what he's like

You did some great work on this man! This is great

Let's keep it 1000,Jim is the only hater in this situation,Vince didn't say shit crazy to Jim so I feel like Jim is a Hater,I respect Jim Cornette's wrestling mind.

Cornette is 100% right. He's just SOOOO damn white-HOT with his passion. Gotta love it. Russo is like new guy who comes into your job and treats it like a joke but gets paid the same.

I'm pretty sure I would get arrested if I sent this to my job

Cornette has some serious issues. I enjoy listening to him as an entertainer but dude is bona-fide crazy

Between this beef & the 50 Cent/Ja Rule beef it’s hard to determine 2 things: 1.)Which feud has last longer & 2.)Which feud has a likelier chance of being resolved/put to rest

Jesus that email tho. 😂😂😂😂

Jim is, if nothing else, a true wordsmith

There's something about Jim Cornette that just fires me up every time I hear him talk. We need more people like Jimmy C. The passion and tradition flows in his veins!!!

The greatest rivalry in pro wrestling.

Jim Cornette hatred for Vince Russo is legendary! I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anybody hating somebody more! Lmao

The hate is really one sided, Vince has said repeatedly he would like to bury the hatchet with Jim...Jim is the one who cannot let it go.

The part at the end with the restraining order reminds of this dude, who stole a menu from the bar at the Berghain (techno club in Berlin) And tried to sell it on eBay. Of course they found out about and he was send a cease and desist order from the police. Which he then also tried to sell on eBay

I dont think ive ever seen vince russo fan. Vince has more people that hate him than like him where cornette yeah he has a lot of people that hate him but a shit ton more people that like him

Cornette and Russo have argued and clashed several times during their run in WWE(then WWF). You can sense that just from Cornette's interviews. Russo had a booking style that was more storyline over the wrestling. That doesn't work because your working for a wrestling promotion. Cornette's booking resonates with me. Naturally you want more in-ring wrestling action than storylines. In Bret Hart's words, realism is needed for the in-ring action. Performance is what makes the pro wrestler.

The fact that TNA went from being the biggest threat to WWE since WCW to a joke in a few years shows how right Jim was

Am so glad you gave us this video as promised 😍

They both suck, Russo is a man child, and Cornette is the sentient version of the "old man yells at cloud" joke from The Simpsons.

Great content fam. Subscribed

I thought that actually was the hitman and the undertaker in the background, in full ring gear, just watching a chat between mcmahon and russo at 1:38

You can't blame Jim Cornette how he feel about how Russo is with how he look at wrestling but at the same time can't blame Russo how he feel about Cornette & how he look at wrestling. Truthfully both see the way the other didn't & also true that both can't have an agreement on how to run any wrestling company the way they like but in the end it work out fine in their own way.

I don't like either of them to be honest. I agree with some of Cornette's opinions on wrestling, and yeah, Russo is one of the worst things to happen to the wrestling business, but Jim's hatred of Russo is way over the top. Cornette is clearly unhinged and bitter, unable to let go of any grudges. Not liking Russo is understandable, but threatening to kill him and piss on his grave is ridiculous.

Jim said the most over the top things I've ever heard from someone and the only reason people listen to him because he give credit where credits do every once in awhile and while the rest he said is history.

What if we were getting worked ,and they're out on a boat fishing drinking beers and Sprite? 🤣

Why Jim Cornette and Vince Russo Hate Each Other: Part 1. There’s way more than what is here to cover.

Good job

I would love to see a video on Jim and Kenny Omega

I just want all the Jim Cornette feud videos

I often wonder who Jim Cornette hates More, Vince Russo or The Republican Party

As a rib, they should have Vinnie Rue induct corny into the WWE hall of fame. Would be big media, just seeing what might happen

I have followed the Jim Cornette & Vince Russo feud in 2018 and it gets crazier, but heated.

It's definitely an interesting rivalry, and there's no real clear answer as to who's the bigger man. Both of them very much have their faults, and while he's done a lot to harm the product, at the end of the day, Russo was just doing his job. Was he always good at it? No, stuff like the Brawl For All and WCW before its dying days show that, but he was still creative and had some interesting ideas, which I respect him for. And while Jim has a very deep passion for the business, which I can respect, I can absolutely not give him any more respect than that because...why the hell would you want to actively KILL someone because their view on the business is different than yours, even if it's polar opposites in this case? I've never cared for either guy entirely, but I certainly have more sympathy for Russo than I do Cornette

Jim Cornette seems to hate a lot of people. Clearly he's not the problem...

When is your next doc about Cornette's feud?

Just a thought (and I know I’m wrong) but what if they’re both working us? It is wrestling after all. If it wasn’t for Russo we wouldn’t have the attitude era, and I grew up during that era of wrestling. But I’m still trying to figure out what Corny did during that era of wrestling. Sure, Corny was a great manager, but did he book anything memorable? Russo is the victim in this feud.

I would love to be able to give them both unlimited funding, the same time slot on different networks and let them both start a wrestling company in their vision.

I have a signed copy of that restraining order, and it's one of my prize possessions.

Yes more of these please

They may have hated each other but damn they made good TV together. They both came up with good things. They both went back and forth and made things work. That is what WWE needs. Friction in its story telling not YES man that agree to everything

What has been more detrimental to the industry, British fans or Women's wrestling?

If we could harness pure hatred as an energy source Cornette would collapse the entire universe into a black hole.

Man I miss old TNA

Two sides of the same coin

I want that cornette-kenny video even if I heard everything corny has ever said about twinkletoes

Jim Cornette taught me that if you have an official nemesis in your life have a good way with words.

Cornettes hatred of Vince Russo has brought me many years of laughter

Both r set in their ideas of what wrestling should be. Cornette wants more wrestling, less storyline & wants to go back to when Kayfabe was alive & well. Russo wants more storyline, less wrestling & wants to make product that would insult a 7yr olds intelligence. Personally, I think both storyline & wrestling r very important but I lean more towards Cornette's philosophy.

This feud is so entertaining, I love when they talk about each other. 😂🤣😂

That e-mail was dope

I'm never normally one to comment on these videos but hey your content has been getting REALLY good lately 😁 I am like number 420 and I hope people keep blazing that like button because a Cornette vs Joey Ryan video would be amazing!

Cornette vs Russo, the great wrestling feud that has never taken place within a wrestling ring.

You should do Cornette vs Steen in ROH
