I love listening to Corney talk about wrestling history. Especially when its pre 1980s. He should teach a class on wrestling history LOL. Professor Corney.

I'm from the future and I can tell all the concerns that Jim has against aew are true

Whoever draws those cartoons, is talented. 😂

Jim hands down is the best heat talking manager in wrestling that "is, was and ever will be." A true southern gentleman and a class act.

"More for your money folks! ...you're not even paying for it!" Cornette rules.

Very informative and interesting conversation on Wrestling psychology this week. It's well worth listening to. Thank you Jim, Brian and Dave Meltzer.

Soon, we'll get a cartoon drawing of the King on the john when Bret and Shawn start fighting.

Two of my favorite talkers in the wrestling industry. This is one to save.

These thumbnails are just something else. Whoever created these deserves an award.

It's like Randy Savage always said "you win them in the ring you lose them in the ring"

"What is this fucken lost in space!" Laughing hard.

This episode was longer than SD live ,but was still not boring.

I still say Corny's greatest act in the wrestling biz was having the presence of mind to snatch Shawn's hair after his fight with Bret. I just wish he took a picture of that fucking thing before he got divorced.

One of my favorite 'clips' on the ArcadianVanguard channel is Cornette's epic burial of Tim Horner.

Meltzer & Jim > Everybody else

I love hear these 2 talk about The Business!

What they said at the end is so right. People have to care about the product. The last time i was legitimately pissed at a heel was when Paul Heyman and CM Punk made fun of Jerry Lawler after he passed out live on Raw. I had steam coming out of my ears.

This is 2 hours of perfection.

"Poloponies" - Ralph Kramden to Norton (and later Alice too) in The Honeymooners episode where Alice is recruited by the Hollywood talent scout, but Ralph naturally thinks they want him to be the next BIG thing.

Did anyone else hear them suggest a fingerprint lock for a quadruple amputee lmao

"I would hang his entrails around my neck like Christmas garland..." quite possibly the best Corny on russo (and yes, I didn't capitalize that on purpose) line EVER.

Loving the Experience and on VICE, you kick ass!!

25:35 Dave Meltzer 28:05 Double Cross & Expose History 41:58 DSOTR 48:19 Real reason for screwjob 58:32 Bret in WCW 1:09:16 Jim came up with the finish 1:21:01 Who else knew? HHH Knew 1:40:32 AEW Talk 2:10:55 Scrpits in modern wrestling

The 3 episodes i have seen so far have been good in my opinion especially the Bruiser Brody episode i was still living in Puerto Rico when it happen and Brody was one of my favorite wrestlers of all time and the Von Erich episode was heartbreaking to watch i felt bad for the brother that still alive and i feel his pain as someone who has lost 3 brothers it was hard to watch

The Greatest wrestling historians of all time

Watching this while waiting for The NWA ppv to start

Come for the show, stay for the cartoons XD

When the 3 women who were in the wrestlemania main event were being handcuffed and arrested and still fighting it felt real. Like they really hate each other that's what wwe needs.

I've been waiting all week for this. Thanks guys.

Jim cornette is the fucking man. Period.

Enema-matic. Classic. Love this dude.

I remember the Scott Casey Green Jacket angle

There should be more Whooping Belch awareness.

Oh man this is Officially on youtube?! and the drive thru?! there goes my next 2 weeks

I’d love to hear Meltzers story’s from my 18th birthday party, he wasn’t there but I’m pretty sure he knows everything about it

Lmao “hooping belch”

I am god damn certain that uncle Dave bit tongue at 1:45:25, the guy knows exactly when it will air.

Corny is a walking wrestling encyclopedia. Amazing how he can remember dates and places and times.

Agree with the point on levels but I did see Barry Windham give Ricky Nelson a lot in a job match. Lance Russell even called him the determined Ricky Nelson in his end of show summation.

Cornette should be on the Mt Rushmore of anyone's wrestling list. Possibly the Washington spot.

Does anybody remember which podcast or drive through it was where Corny realized he was placing his microphone in the holder incorrectly?

Wrestling fans are the biggest heels in wrestling MeltZer perfectly encapsulates it

"Pat dealt with the boys, the boys loved Pat" odd wording

Triple H always stuck his big nose where it doesn't belong.

They should make this a regular thing "Jim Cornette's Meltzer Express"

I stopped watching wrestling but you're the one that keeps me connected. I would pay to see you at AEW.

Oh, you know, it’s, you know, dave, you know, meltzer, you know.

11:55 "It's Thirsty Thursdee" - Jim Cornette

a feature film length cornette production, god bless it

I’m a big fan of Jim Cornett and Eric Bischoff hasn’t made mistakes in the past. But I wish one of them would’ve actually researched what Eric actually said. I believe the interview that Eric was talking about was the very first time Brett wanted to go talk to WCW in the early 90s. At that time, that being The first time Brett was ever in the go she Asian with WCW Eric Bischoff wasn’t running the show yet but I think that was still bill watts.

"poloponies" mispronounced was Norton to Kramden in The Honeymooners

It drives me crazy that hhh who was 5 years into his career was telling vince what to do for the champion of the company.

"and-and-and, it's like-it's like"

Just in time!

Not sure if he could utilize the fingerprint technology.

I could listen to these two men talk about wrestling all day

Dave "Ya know" Meltzer

Jim and brian, keep up the great work!!!👍

Link the channels in their respective "Channel" sections.

finger print, face scanning phones? What? My phone doesn't do any of that shit....

I swear I think the poloponies gimmick was from encyclopedia brown books or something.

"Match of the year, your know. Abo Zago vs Napo Zegno in the Korokian Hall. Yeah right and you seen it when ? Saw it form f#!king Oakland." - Kevin Nash

Dave "Like, Like" Meltzer

Cornette is sort of wrong that their was no online presence in wrestling in the late 90s. I remember there was a few wrestling websites that had decent readership back in the day like Wrestleline. Sure it was nowhere as big as online today but there still was a good chunk of fans who knew what was going on

50:14 LMAO

I think that was from the simpsons where they couldn't say pony right?

I dont have a smartphone either. Jim cornette for head of AEW

What happened to the jacket??? Thats a collectors item, wish we couldve got some information about that guy. Im interested in the jacket. Remember starcade like it was yesterday

At first I didn't know what that still shot was. It's "Unsafe work environment."

I hadn't watched any Corny stuff (or wrestling stuff at all) for several months. I guess the Bruiser Brody Dark Side of the Ring is what got me to look Cornette up again (had listened to a bit of the podcast and watched some of the shoots in the past). Now, when I search him up, it turns out he's just revealed the screwjob finish was his idea, days before. Amazing timing. Dark Side of the Ring is working better than anticipated, I expect.

Would Jim cornette hate me if I say I respect him and Vince Russo. I think them both are great at what they do. They don't see eye to eye but they both have compassion for wrestling and what they do. Like chefs. Not many chefs will cook the same dishes the same exact way.. will disagree on recipes to use but it's the buyers costumers' opinion matters the most st the end. The chefs are still passionate about their dishes . Same as these 2. Passionate and you can find people who liked and or dislikes their stories their wrestling knowledge wrestling style of story telling. Same time. Lots who dislikes either can still agree when they where around wrestling was way better than it is now.

I haven't listened to this yet, but does Dave go: "Erm... umm... yeah, you know... maybe... I mean things can change... I mean... umm.... yeah, you know... I mean.... I don't know" ad nauseam?

2 and half hours long? Yep, its definitely a meltz episode lol

When will you be in kc mo?

I don't think I heard anybody complain about Ronda I think it was more Charlotte

As fate would have it i just chronologically watched 1997 Nitro and ppvs, all of them, in order, WCW and crossed into 98’. Im thinking that WCW handled Sting/Hogan storyline better than any storyline ive ever seen, EVER and ive seen tons. Ref counts 3 HOGAN WINS, HART INTERCEDES, says previous shady ref counted too fast (he CLEARLY didnt in spite of WCW announcers saying he did) then HART counts 3 STING WINS! Many strange wrestlers to WCW jump in ring to celebrate. nEXT NITE HOGAN STING 2 takes 2 weeks for viewer to find out what happened, that sets up THUNDER,more ref follies where you can clearly see 3 counts.....oh man. LAYERS and LAYERS of storyline from TWO COMPANIES ALL CAME TOGETHER. Absolutely brilliant. Best ive ever seen.SOO frustrating theres more...

Dave must have dirt on Corny since they are friends, he loves everything Jim supposedly hates.

This would be good if it was also video

Just woke up. Just it time i guess.

The same John Arezzi that brought forth one Shitstain aka the Archbishop of Talentbury?

I miss Bruno Sammartino he really brought in a lot of fans to Madison Square Garden back in the day

I wonder if Jim has seen Jordynne Grace lately. She could probably break Kofi Kingston in half with a bearhug. Kofi would probably still win, but I'm sure Jordynne could match him for a while strength for strength.

I thought they would have talked about Bret more

How does Marty still squeeze into these events I don't dislike him but I wouldn't buy a ticket to see him either .

how could a guy with no arms have a fingerprint and or passcode on his phone? how does he use it? I'm not poking or anything. just currious?

Maybe we need more double crosses in order to shut down some of these newbie wrestlers who think they deserve something.

I gotta say, I've been hearing Dave Meltzer radio show since 2001. And if you go back and hear the man around 2000-2003 he was so energetic as a host and later a co-host. The last 5 years has made Meltzer too jaded and uninteresting. Bryan Alvarez is pretty good now, but this is the first time I've heard Dave Meltzer show a level of enthusiasm. Around 1:15:05 he's having a blast. Goes to show you what happens when you watch wrestling for this long without breaks. I can barely watch WrestleMania let alone Raw episodes.

Is Jim Cornette vs The World! an old channel or a fan made one

Who would pay to see Corny & Meltzer vs. Shitstain & The Artful Dodger in a cage?

Alright people, let's see if we can get #whateverthefuck trending

The WWE just has the worst fans.

"I think Vince tried to protect Pat." Not the first time this has happened...

1:14:51

"I remember Vince was conflicted... Misusing his influence... Sometimes I did the same... Abusing his power, full of resentment... Resentment that turned into a decline of ratings... Found himself screaming in the hotel room... He didn’t wanna self destruct The evils of Donald was all around him... So he went running for answers..."

Meltzer cannot wait to interrupt Cornette to show off his great wrestling knowledge.

A little Wild Bill ballpark look at what was really going on the whole time . . . Vince . . . Shawn . . . forcing you to work with Russo . . . all of the "wtf" inring injuries inflicted by top professional athletes upon one another . . . for the last 30 years. The partying, the drugs, the booze, the terrible concession food . . . Paul Wight and Layfield picking on the newbs . . . everything. Every bit--from HGH to some notably unusual out-of-ring experiences. Vince was the puppet master. All you guys . . . every single one . . . were his dolls and the Wrestling business was his doll house. Jim-you know how brilliant, how obsessive, how compelled, he is. Playing the devil, he brought every one of you into a private hell . . . as Sartre did in his immortal "No Exit". Every word, every gesture, every whisper into a receptive ear, every unreasonable or stupid or last minute altered, finish was a work. And still is, because, as you are aware, he just can't let go. Think back--not at the coincidences, but at the whole tapestry of the art and science of making money with sports--like entertainment. Vince is, and has long been, a Marvel Super Villain. He plays with minds, with events, with initiatives . . . even Linda is a work. All that under the table cash makes him irresistible, impossibly attractive. Anything he wastes . . . and he seems to waste millions . . . is done for sound financial reasons*. He always profits. He never loses. Never. I understand that, with your genius and compulsive observation, you are positive I'm wrong about this . . . and even that is a work. Vince's vulnerabilities--the things we joke about--are works. Steph and Chyna was a work. Owen and Steve Austin was a work. Punk and Ryback was a work. Heenan's injury was a work. And you, one of the sharpest men ever, are convinced it's not. Scary, ain't it? 30% of the whole country was conned by a carny and nobody--ever--saw it. Not even the smarks. I bet he'd give Thanos a run for his money. Or Doctor Doom. He might be the greatest Marvel Super Villain of all time. *In business, if you spend almost all your dough, but crush your competitors in the end, then you own the market and can write off all that loss. It is, effectively, free money.

Cornette is the straight 6 pac

Jim...PLEASE LET THE "GUEST" SPEAK!!!
