I love how Goldberg called him shit stain. That just goes to show everyone thinks he is shit stain not just Jim.

Lol oh my god, Russo in ICP makeup. Travis Heckel never misses

I'm torn on Goldberg. On the one hand, he ended Brets career. On the other hand, he speared shitstain into the guardrail.

You just know whenever Russo starts a sentence with "I'm gonna be totally honest with you," he's about to lie his @$$ off.

Goldberg calling Russo Shitstain popped me ngl

The fact that to this day Russo blames everything and everyone else for his own incompetence proves he's full of shit.

I can't wait to find out why Jim is Duckman in the artwork.

Every time Russo says bro, some of my brain cells die

Russo back then: Nothing matters in wrestling but the TV ratings. Tony Khan now: Nothing matters in wrestling but the Cagematch ratings.

3 people killed WCW. 1. HOGANS - Creative control. 2. Bischoff - Swinging on Hogans nuts. 3. Shitstain - For being a shitstain

Honestly, as a kid when Russo started doing a promo, my brother and I couldn't change to Raw fast enough.

Vince Russo is more delusional than the Ocean Gate ceo

I recently learned that the executive that made the call to pull WCW from the stations also cancelled my favorite WB cartoons. Not to speak ill of the dead, but in his life I say: Boo this man!

The death of wcw was a group effort, everybody chipped in, nash, bischoff, hogan, russo, ect. I just find it funny that now all the ones that played a part in it are now saying "well what had happen was....."

So one thing I can vouch for Jimmy without question? Was when I first started Greener than goose shit at Ohio Valley, & wrestling with VERY limited experience, and Jimmy wanted me to bodyslam somebody at the very end of my In-ring promo. BUT Before Jimmy would allow me to do it to the heel during our TV , before the show started, he made me do it to him first in the ring. Showing the multi year heel, I would be safe with him. That tells you all you need to know about Jim Cornette and his respect for our business

If you aren't watching Reliving the War from Wrestling Bios, your missing a hell of a series that covers EXACTLY what happened during this time

After that episode there should be no question in anybodys mind why Jim hates Russo.

I can’t believe Duckman killed WCW. I thought he was an honest detective!

People forget that Russo, even when he was “head writer,” didn’t book the main events for the WWF- that was Vince & Patterson exclusively. Russo wrote for the rest of the card and even that stuff went through Vince first. But Russo smooth-talked his way into WCW and then immediately crashed & burned.

Vince Russo is delusional. That last episode of Who killed WCW left no doubt about it

When Russo said he was better than 80% of the talent at WCW, I physically had to get up from my couch and walk around because I couldn’t believe how ridiculous that statement was.

The stupidest thing about David Arquette winning the title, beyond the fact that an actor shouldn't be given a world title, is he won it by pinning Bischoff in a tag match, and screwing his own partner DDP out of the title. Arquette wins, and DDP is celebrating with him being champion, when that result cost DDP the title!

Jason Alexander did some good voice work on Duckman, lol.

Guy Evans is pretty much the only guy that's actually got Turner execs on the record. His book was the one that actually dove right in to everything, instead of going the easy path of "bad tv killed it" Nitro is absolutely the definitive book on the subject

Corny must love these shows because they make the audience hate Russo almost as much as Jim does.

I like how Russo talks endlessly about how he hates wrestling but can't keep his nose out of talking about it at every opportunity. Get a different job, bro.

Seeing Goldberg spear Russo was joy I had forgotten about.

The KZfaq views on this may outdraw last week's AEW Dynamite.

Shitstain came off just as bad as everyone not named Bret Hart Booker T or DDP in this series lol

"Duckman? A duck could write Duckman!" That broke me 🤣🤣🤣

I'm here for Duckman Cornette and this is going to be a good one I can feel it.

Booker t was pissed at this show and rightfully so. Edit: who killed wcw not the drive- thru or experience 😂

Russo had a chance to save WCW with his “genius,” it was still salvageable at that point. But Russo put on the absolute worst wrestling product in American history.

This whole topic should have been one TV episode. AOL/Time Warner did it. They wanted nothing to do with wrestling, threw in the towel and sold it for dirt to Vince.

When Goldberg called Russo a "shitstain" I asked if Goldberg listened to Cornette. They also didn't mention how Russo wanted to put the WCW title on Tank Abbott.

Meanwhile you have Al Snow on Russo’s podcast acting like a wrestling savant when he never drew a dime and thinks Russo was good at what he did.

An absolute narcissist who lacks talent is the worst kind. Those WCW shows without the editorial guardrails of a Vince McMahon type were putrid. They were fighting for control of the Titanic after it hit the iceberg. Jim is proven right once again…

Russo deserved the kick Bret Hart got from Goldberg

Imagine being in the next room hearing Jim watch this episode, he probably had to pause every five minutes to gather himself and inhale a Sprite.

I 100% agree with Corny. Whenever someone (repeatedly) states 'I'll be honest with you', alarm bells should go off. And yes, Vince Russo was a horrible on-air performer.

I really do miss wrestling magazines from the 80’s and 90’s. Good times.

"You put your down down, you thrust your pelvis, HUH! You thrust your pelvis, HUH!" - Jim Cornduck

At this point I could give two shits who killed wcw it's just sad it's not still here thriving and going up against WWE in 2024. So many mistakes could have been avoided and yet no they get bought out for pennies on the dollar

My shift at work is moving at a snails pace thank you for this Jim and Brian

There's not a wrestling podcast even close to as good as this

I’ll take Bischoff over Russo every day of the week and twice on Sunday

The funny thing is, Ferrara wasn’t even successful enough to write Duckman. He had nothing to do with that show. The peak of his career was Weird Science the tv show…

Ahh just saw this pop up 11mins ago! Popcorn and an iced Coffee on the ready!

12/10 on the artwork Travis

I think Russo believes if he doesn't end EVERY DAMN SENTENCE with "Bro", he'll spontaneously combust or something 😂. Jesus! 🙄

The craziest thing is that Russo wanted to book his show to look like the Jerry Springer show, when Jerry Springer himself has said multiple times his show was the stupidest show on television.

ANOTHER CORNETTE BANGER! I CAN FEEL IT!

This series needs to become an omnibus when it's over.

I heard Shitstain said the word "Bro" 300 times in this episode. Thank god this isn't a drinking game.

This episode made me appreciate my autographed restraining order even more. Russo the demo god 😂

Please have Jim make review videos on russos nitros

Can we get Jim reading more Russo TNA formats, please?! That was one of my favorite segments of all time.

Love Bret Hart quote "he was just another idiot"

Jim Cornette not wanting Guy Evans in the doc while calling every single other person involved a liar or a grifter is crazy.

I love how they retread and wring every fucking molecule out of WCW and the Monday Night Wars because nothing has been interesting since then

Russo said with his own mouth that he was writing a "TEL-LEV-VIS-SION SHOW", not a wrestling show (no one talks like that except Russo). He wanted to write the Jerry Springer Show, but was on a TV show that happened to have Wrestling, so he did wrote Jerry Springer stuff into the show anyways.

Wasn’t the rumour at the time that Scott had a heated argument with Siegel’s niece and then he was done

26 fucking times he said BRO.... B R O !

I would pay cold hard cash to have Jim review each Nitro from 1999 through to the end. Start off at the Humvee and then descend into the madness from there.

Trust me, when they get to the ad at the end, don't cut it off. Listen to the whole thing.

Édouard Carpentier reference! (around 41:11) i actually know who that is now after reading death of the territories and the squares circle

I have never clicked on a Jim Cornette video so fast in my life

The episode was actually pretty friendly to Russo.

Russo claiming he wanted to get the "casuals" to watch wrestling. Yeah the casuals will wanna watch Judy Bagwell on a forklift match. what a clown

I think just putting it all on Russo is giving him too much credit.

Between Arquette and the gimmicked Statue of Liberty that would fall apart in guys' hands without even hitting someone with it, it's no wonder WCW drowned and floundered.

Russo is the Neil Breen of pro wrestling.

Holy shit. Paddy Chayefsky. Jim, I will defend you to the end of my life. That is such a deep cut. God I respect the hell out of you

Guy Evans interviewed over 120 people who were directly involved with both Turner and WCW for the Nitro book, which is somewhere around 600 pages. It's not just a regurgitation of what was printed in the dirtsheets like the Death of WCW book by Alvarez and RD Reynolds. It's the story from the people who were actually there .

The line of the year, " Grizzly Adams in the Insane Clown Posse!" 😅😂

The funny thing about Russo, which is a loaded statement, is that he claims to hate the only thing that ever made his name mentionable.

Been waiting for this damn reaction for like 4 days now 😂😂, dont let me down Corny!

I now doubt the reported Quote Vince McMahon said when Russo told him he was leaving for wCw which was "This is the most devistating call I have ever gotten"

Try taking a shot, every time Russo says "Bro"😊.

Bischoff said it BEST. WCW died a death of a thousand cuts

Jim's Air conditioning analogy perfectly described my workplace atm EXACTLY......Bro

God I've been waiting for this!!.. Travis heckle you're the f'n man!!

Duckman! Missed that show

Corney as Duckman is just chef's kiss.

Duckman was such a weird, great cartoon

Because Guy Evans is the first person to write a story about Monday Nitro that included the Turner network executives. It’s actually a really simple reason why it was so successful. Because everybody else like your boy from the observer, Brian Alvarez, just buried the bookers for demise.you can’t just overlook the time Warner/Aol merger and then when the bubble popped. Are you shitting me?

Since I was one of the online wrestling nerds during this time period, I want to stand up for myself and many others by saying that we also hated David Arquette winning the WCW belt and also did not like seeing Russo on TV.

You know, Jim is actually hitting a wider nail on the head here when he says @20:10 _"What are they gonna do to golf, to get me to watch golf?"_ *"They're gonna fuck {insert hobby} up for the people who (watch) {insert same hobby}"* It's happening with D&D and Warhammer, and it's already happened and too late for Star Wars, ASoIaF, and Lord of the Rings When you try to appeal to everybody, you're going to run off all the ones that made you money in the first place

41:00 Goldberg ended Bret’s career. But Russo thinks Goldberg was intentionally hurting. Just by comparing hart and Russo We can assume Goldberg is right he didn’t mean it.

Why does Cornette think they had anything to do with Duckman? I can't find his or Ed Ferrara's name anywhere on IMDB?

Corny waiting for that RKO out of nowhere while watching golf is something that came to mind. Cause i would watch it for that too

What pisses me off was him saying Bro over and over again dude STFU! 😂

Guilty pleasure, I love Ready To Rumble haha. I quote it all the time. " Cold today, HOT TAMALE "

To be fair, Shaggy's match with Kidd was solid.

An hour? I may have to stop this run to listen intently.

airconditioner man russo would be booking hairdryer on a pole matches

Cornette has to have some of the BEST ad reads in the history of modern man.

73K views in 16 hours? This is what we’ve all been waiting for!

Ed Ferrara DID NOT WRITE FOR DUCKMAN!! He wrote for Weird Science. Draw the Hot chick from that show into the art next time.

Vince Russo doesn't realize that wrestling fans want to see wrestling in the ring. Not backstage drama.
