The way Cornie got hyped when he heard the Batman tune, & talked over Kenny's audio to ask what episode of Batman was playing was funny AF 🤣
Meltzer gave that gaming stream a 7 star rating
Dong eater of the year award goes toooo..to ooohhh... Dave Dic Inna Boo-T Meltzer!!!
You forgot the 867 zeroes at the end there.
Naw, man, only 6 stars; it wasn't in the fuckin Tokyo Dome

“PRO WRESTLING” for NES.
I loved that game.
It’s a great black box game

@@unlimitedrabbit Starman flying forearm.
@@unlimitedrabbit YES or the Amazon headlock scratch or head bite spam
@@unlimitedrabbit heck yes! The Amazon biting Hayabusa’s head always made me mad!
And that's why people like AJ Styles and Rey Mysterio are still so valuable. They are legit workers, not just gymnasts.
I wish I could thumbs up this comment twice.
When rey returns in 2018 it legit shocked with how fast he still can go at his age and despite many knee injuries he suffered throughout his career
Lol all pro wrestlers are basically gymnast and actors. You act like AJ Styles and Rey Mysterio are legit trained fighters. Also Rey Mysterio constantly did flips and other high flying moves when he was younger. Now his body is broken down and he is always getting hurt.
@@googlemyself4091 What? Pro wrestlers are obviously not acrobats nor actors, they are perhaps a mix of the two, which isn’t either.
The comment didn’t call AJ and Rey fighters, the comment called them excellent workers (of which Jim gives a definition of in this video). Rey used to do flips, and it’s incredible how many he can stil do, and guess what? It’s because he is so good that he didn’t wear off his body for no reason. Rey didn’t take leaps off of platforms, Rey didn’t take bumps in thumbtacks. Wanna know someone who did? Look at Jeff Hardy, and where he is at now. Is that the future you hope for Kenny? I actually like Kenny, but my answer to that question is “no”.
@@normandave3429 Rey Mysterio is lame
Brian's transitions from Jim being outrageous are the best .
They are like an old married couple with thier banter .
@Death Adder *rolls eyes*
@@justinsayswtf Jim admitted that they were true.
@@fatalsniper3413 he admitted to being a swinger, which has been common knowledge to listeners for years based on his jokes and innuendo eluding to it. he never admitted to the allegations of grooming the rookie wrestler
They have a slight version of of that Monsoon/Heenan banter
@@fatalsniper3413 I was referring to the allegations that he basically forced a male wrestler to have sex with his wife or face being blacklisted from the industry. Jim never said that was true lol
Holy shit. Hearing Jim trying to comprehend a stream was more painful than Kenny Omega's rehab.
Yeah, he & Brian are embarrassingly out of touch with the grassroots nature of fan (see: monetary) support Kenny has been able to foster through YEARS of FGC interactions
But whatever, gotta grind that axe
I mean, watching other people play video games is a completely retarded concept. Why would any normal man think that that's a thing?
@@HkFinn83 what does a livestream have to do with editing? He did manual editing btw.. sounds like you're clueless too.
@@Newbobdole the only embarrassing thing is to actually donate and spend your own money on someone else's stream. Get a life
@@Newbobdole Brian is more in tune with modern times. Bet he has his own twitch channel on the side
I love hearing Jim laughing in the background while the clip is going on🤣
Awesome "Pro Wrestling" homage to the NES game with the art.
Corn Con vs King Slender 💯
Who want some
Great game!
Heck yeah, still have the Nintendo game
A Winner is You
@@RudeBoyKyle94 Lol
Brian made a great point about workers changing their styles as they get older. Look at the Hardys. They are having the same matches now as the ones that got them over 20 years ago, and it's cringeworthy at best.
Not just cringe worthy, its genuinely *dangerous* to their health, physically and mentally. Jeff and Matt both have brain damage from their style of wrestling, and those incidents happened *RECENTLY* too. They will end up killing themselves
@@JackTheripper911 Not just them but their opponents. How many times recently has Jeff landed that Swanton flat on his opponents? Someone's gonna get broken ribs or a punctured lung taking one of those
@@daleharris3809 And i think thats why Hardy has gone back on the drink, the amount of ridiculous moves he was doing in aew, surely is not good for him at his age, plus he did that Young Bucks match at the PPV where he couldnt even remember it. Its like Tony has got the Hardy's in and told them do your stuff from attitude era circa 2000, not realising theyve aged since then.
And look and Edge and Christian in contrast. They changed and evolved.
@@clifforddavidson7273 Christian's mic work the last couple weeks has been sensational.
Corny's reaction to the Batman sound was priceless XD
it had me rolling lol
If someone told him that was likely someone signing up for a sub, he'd have lost his mind even more.
Lmaooooooo
Seeing uncle Corny discovers about modern times is such a delight.
I know lmao
He was so pissed at the fact people can get money by just streaming on twitch and do practically nothing.
He was livid!
He's so out of touch lol. Like he can't possibly believe that's what Kenny was doing. Like Corny. It's actually very common now. And it's a great way to interact and ya know...connect with your fan base. Which is incredibly important for a wrestler. He probably still thinks they should be doing rounds on morning TV.
The boomer energy is like Sting no selling XD. It's just fun to watch how their gonna react to just people enjoying their downtime
@Deep State A.I. Just because people do that now doesn't mean it isn't stupid
@@michaelhauser6440 it's your opinion that it's stupid. It's not inherently stupid.
It's almost like spending years doing unnecessary bumps and spotfests is bad for you.
Who could've known?? 🤷🏻♂️
Literally lmaooo
Like hogan right???
@@Drollpanther Hogan had bad knees starting in the late 1990s. He could still work though. Omega is ten years younger than Hulk was then and is mulling retirement.
@@Drollpanther Huh?
I saw Kenny Omega talking about Jim and was waiting for this rebuttal.
We'll have to wait till next week, I assume :(
Those statements from Omega were legitimately dumb, uninformed, and worthy of harsh criticism.
This on the other hand, is a big bag of absolutely nothing.
@@henrygvidonas9573 what really reinforces this point is that, considering the situation, I’d say Jim was actually as unbiased with Omega as he could be in this clip. Dude literally veered himself back on track every time he started going off the rails on the insults. Like he says “I don’t wish him further harm” says a few insults but then he goes dad mode and says “Omega really should take this time to consider changing his style and his approach to wrestling if he wants a longer career.”
Kenny made some comments about how that physical style of wrestling needs to change and be more story based. Would like to hear Jim's reaction as they seem to finally be in agreement on something.
Yeah but when he says more story based he means aew story based maybe hell be the final member of the love triangle for sunny kiss
He means wrestling more brooms
All good points!
DUH that's the shit Jim been saying forever that's what wrestling always was about the story Kenny made it about killing yourself in the ring it's his fault wrestling where it is now but now his injured and regrets
But didn't Uncle Dave say Kenny Omega is the best at in ring story telling?
Keiji Mutoh is a great example on how to change it up. Coming back bald with the Shining Wizard in the early 2000s was awesome to me.
LIMITATIONS is how a wrestler learns to work
Scott Steiner becoming the Genetic Freak is another good example
Liger changed it up to a less ariel style too.
The irony of that is he quit doing moonsaults because of his knees to use a finisher that used his knee.
@@tiatripsTrue..Depending on the accuracy ,it would be his thigh sometimes.🤣
It's almost as if the veterans told this generation once your bump card is filled you don't get another one
Yeah, too bad contemporaries of those veterans like Dynamite Kid, Curt Hennig, Brian Pillman, Terry Gordy, Bret Hart, Mick Foley, Terry Funk and several members of the Von Erich tribe never got their memo about expired bump cards either... All dead or complete wrecks. Or Taker Claus for that matter, increasingly stinking up the joint for almost a decade, needing to be put together with spare parts by a surgeon after every one-month WrestleMania cycle at the end.
Woops, doesn't fit the "old people _smaht_ - young people _stoopid_ " narrative.
But seriously, people have the gall to still blame Roman Reigns for their crappy match that should have been Taker's absolute last under any circumstances (it really should have ended with the broken streak, at the latest). I don't give a toss about Reigns and have no reason to defend him - but that's such BS. He was working with a guy who was so wrecked, he couldn't even walk the entire distance from the stage to the ring and had no core strength anymore. In fact, he could barely walk at all. If anyone has ever stayed too long at the party, it's Mark Calaway... and Terry Funk.
@@henrygvidonas9573 If anything those guys you listed could've and should've be seen as perfect example for why you should take care your body for the younger guys. You goof.
Jim brings up a really good point here. Kenny can't wrestle the same way forever injury or not. No one is invincible against time and how it wears down the human body... Another great example just starting to show itself in another sport is Bryson DeChambeau in golf. He got on this kick of being the Russian in Rocky 4, training like a mad man, studying the science of his swing, all sorts of crap to maximize his power when hitting a golf ball. He was hitting drives 400 yards and I'm not exaggerating that number. He injured his wrist, came back, isn't hitting as far and isn't winning. At some point the body just says NO MORE DAMN IT and you either adapt or you can't ever do well again because the idea of going back to what used to work is no longer an option.
Yep, Kenny IF he has to wrestle again, he can't do all that flippy shit anymore.
Imagine doing all that work and dedicating your life to be the best at something, and then one little injury ruins your chances of ever reaching your peak potential again.
That would just be beyond devastating, I don't know how they deal with stuff like that tbh.
@@VitZ9 - Look at Derrick Rose.
Like pitchers in baseball you have throwers and you have pitchers throwers throw hard but cant locate well. Pitchers dont throw as hard but have better accuracy. They say what separates a hall of fame pitcher from a really good one is the ability to adapt as tut hey lose velocity as they get older. Zach Greinke is a good example of a guy who changed he use to throw 95 when he was in his early 20s now in his late 30s hes hitting 88/89 but he adapted by being smart and having great accuracy. Some pitchers just throw hard and once their velocity Is gone they retire others learn to adapt and become legends.
@@jvinson so so many guys.
Jim’s introduction to streaming did not disappoint 😂😂
Looking forward to Jim’s comments on Kenny’s comments on him in this livestream
Wait, this wasn't what this video was about?
@@bluebaron6858 He’s saying that Omega will talk about THIS.
I thought this was that. Listened for nothing
Halfway through and they haven’t addressed the good stuff yet. Weird. Is this not the same stream where he trashed Cornette?
@@kena322 yes it is for some reason Last didn’t play that part. He stopped right before Kenny was about to bring up Corny! I don’t understand why
I love the way Jim unenthusically said "Oh seriously" after Brian said let's get a little more audio about Kenny's injury
You can tell Jim was serious 😂
Brian made fun of the way Kenny talks then did the exact same thing taking 2 and a half minutes to get to his point
Kenny Omega is a lesson of the current style and where it likely leads for many. I'm not saying they need to go back to the 70s style, but maybe don't do 37 dives to the outside every match.
You could add Kota ibushi in this chat too
He doesn’t though lol maybe one dive , just a con hilo … that’s really it .
Umm what, Omega barely does dives.
The biggest problem was the tough NJPW shedule, afte ra few G1s your Body is realy done, just look at Naito and others.
AJ styles has mastered it. Slow it down but is still able to do high spot moves when able to.
"They hit the right button so they gotta sell."
Jim Cornette
Gotta say , this is the most normal I’ve ever heard Omega. If I didn’t see the stream, I wouldn’t have known it was him.
Yep. Sounds. Normal. For. Kenny
Oh Travis, you keep doing it man. You are such a creative genius. Kenny Olivier as King Slender is effing legend!
Lol except Cornette's face looks melted, and half of his glasses are missing. He should have just put Corny's glasses on Starman
The dickeating is crazy
EXACTLY..You'd think with the time off omega would change his game up so he has a longer career. And work on his mic skills..And Brian is right with the baseball logic. Can't throw that 99 mph fastball as you get older , but learn that 55 mph lollipop curveball.. looks at Tom glavine
Greg Maddux topped his fastball at 93 and it was in the mid to high 80s for most of his career
Tom Glavine for the Mets you mean? Sorry Mr. Last!
That's what he's doing. He's said in other interviews that's what he's doing to prevent further knee injuries and on this stream he said he'd be done with rehab, not wrestling. He would just change his style to adapt to his limitations.
@@christophersuswal9544 let's not bring up game 162 of 2007. Please.
@@TuMalditaMadre I'm a Phillies fan. But out of respect I won't. You guys enjoy this season in the meantime
Misawa was the prime example of what Jim was talking about smh, he literally worked himself to death
And ironically Jim has no fucking clue who he is
@@SWWonders which is sad if true but I suspect that he's heard of him
@@leelohaskin7941 He thinks they're all interchangeable.
@@billbird6494 lol more than likely so
Kenny's major problem was wrestling injured all that time. Your body needs time off, and some rest. Some of these top stars need to realize that & maybe they wouldn't have to be gone a year or more to rehab major injuries.
What you said is true but then again him working injured is what probably helped him get as big as he has....kind of like when someone in football gets injured and they are doing the math and seeing if they can rush back for the playoff game, it's madness, common sense says heal up no matter what
@@lillagahnavich7700
Right, only Terrell Owens pulled that off. Then Donovan got tired. 😁
@@genkidamatrunks6759 and Andy Reid wasted like 1:30 off the clock haha
Kenny putting on the quality of matches he was despite his body being broken to pieces is a testament to the man's heart and willingness to put on the best show possible. Never would have guessed he was wrestling injured if I hadn't found out.
@@lillagahnavich7700 Please don't remind me 😭😭😭 still have memories of that Superbowl which was in......Jacksonville. at least my Birds got revenge in 2017
I actually completely forgot about Kenny Omega.
I honestly wish I can forget about Kenny Olivier...🤣
I have for months…this actually reminded me..no cap
Kenny Amnesia?
and be honest with yourself you felt better about forgetting him i know i did
Jim sounds like my dad when I try to explain to him what streaming is. As if that man didn’t do zoom calls for a year.
Thats just how us older folks that ARE with it fuck with younger people..they snowflake and get bitchy and impatient with not understanding how we seemingly “don’t understand technology” 😅 and we laugh to ourselves privately in the next room or later on
he is so out of touch
"They are KILLING the business!!"
@@deedeepilgrim6658 I mean what did he say that was so wrong here? Kenny Omega talks like a weird robot.
@@eazymb. Making fun of Omega for playing video games and saying "[Omega] has too much time on his hands" despite him getting paid to play them.
I love listening to cornette trying to come to terms with modern culture 😅
Who wants to come to terms with dumbsh!+?
@@kirktuss4819 I love that he still refers to all forms of communication that isn't on television or radio as being "on the internet" lmfao.
He is so out of touch with modern things :O
@@raxzar And yet is still mostly spot on with his assessments of pro wrestling.
@@vetdad1807 👍🏼👍🏼
Pro Wrestling from NES. Loved that game.
Yes, a true classic! Still play it often today.
My first wrestling game on the Nes, King Slender was good. My fave was Tecmo's.
I heard the theme in my head for that game as soon as I saw this picture
@@Deeznutzho that theme was borrowed from All Japan Pro Wrestling. Also used for NES baseball
@@Halbared Tecmo World Wrestling is most definitely a classic also. I still bust that one out and play it pretty often too.
Remember when Shawn Michaels was out for 4 years after back surgery and risked it all and proved he was still the greatest to ever do it? Anyone whoever compared Kenny to HBK is an absolute fool and should be ashamed.
Jim is really missing a money making opportunity, by not doing a live promo once in a while. I would send a superchat for that.
With out editing he'd be canceled on Twitter within the month
If there was ever a video version of the drive through/experience, I would pay good money for it. Especially when it’s something we know will be good. I’ve always been curious what his facial expressions and body language is like when he talks about moxley and stadium stampede.
Jim has always done everything for the business, to learn from him and improve to drive the industry forward. If all these garbage wrestlers don't want to learn and keep doing thumb tack stuff every week, it would be a waste of his time.
@@codywhitaker800 Have you seen his old interviews on video that made him internet-famous? He was VERY expressive to the extent a t-shirt was a seller with his facial expression.
He's missing a money-making opportunity by not putting Travis Heckel's work on T-Shirts.
Jim and Brian discovering Twitch is genuinely the funniest shit ever.
"Work has nothing to do with doing the fucking moves".
THANK YOU UNCLE JIM!!
FINALLY someone said it!! These indie marks and wrestlers don't understand this. All they ever care about is doing move after move.
Omega looks like Barry gibb in the thumbnail
I can see that, actually! 😄
Don’t shit on the beegees like that. Ofaga is more like the village people
The Batman stinger was likely someone signing up for a sub.
Even with a simple update about his health this man somehow turns it in a way to make money and draw, Jim you brilliant beautiful bastard never stop educating people of how wrestling is
This podcast needs to be labeled as educational
@@alazkaalazka6087 but seriously,I have learnt so much shit from just listening to his podcasts
YES bro its always about how can they shine and polish the business these guys today dont get it , imagine if omega got announced to show up on aew in a nice suit or professional outfit to discuss his career future it would had done major numbers but he just isnt using his brain
Omega says no one could understand his rehab. John Cena coming back in weeks from a torn pectoral must laugh his ass off.
"Is he just blathering to random people on the internet?" Jim I'd like to welcome you to this generation... where people literally can do nothing without recording it.
It's like...does Jim not know he's on a podcast and he's doing the exact same thing, just without the game...
@@jamalq7533 pretty sure this podcast is more professional than that.
@@L1am21 what makes it more 'professional'. Both setups are talking and rambling on but one has a game playing at the same time.
@@L1am21 It isn't
but kenny isnt like us he is supposed to be a wrestling star there should be some exclusivity , stone cold wouldnt sit down with the guy at the gas station to discuss his injuries and wrestling future past tense of course now would he
Stone Cold had to wrestle differently after his broken neck. He used to fight technical, but came back as a brawler.
The Stone Cold gimmick was that of a brawler too. His character wouldn't ever do a catch as catch can match.
Omega is acting like he’s the first wrestler to ever have an injury
I love brian trying to explain what a gaming stream is to Jim
Jim isn't the only one who thinks streams of people playing video games is retarded.
Once again Travis hits another home run with the thumbnail
thank God, Cena wasn't as dramatic with his injuries and rehabilitations
Cena didn't get injured very often
You and me have different definitions of dramatic
well cena is a grown man wrestler and omega still acts likes he's 17 lol
Omega sucks but uncle Dave called him, when he was in Japan, the best wrestler in the world. What a mark.
Who’s the best wrestler in the world in your opinion?
I hope Kenny heals up, rehabs suck. However, maybe its time he listens to Jim and does less dives to avoid injuries
i'd like to see a change of style when he comes back
He isn't that smart. Come on now
Honestly they all should be. It's free advice from an ex WWE performance instructor. Gotta be abit stupid to just call ALL of his advice bullshit
Knowing that he did this with severe vertigo for a couple of years does make me respect Kenny Omega more. However he has the perfect advice conduit in how to adapt to "ground and pound" in Samoa Joe. And Sir William Regal is no slouch in that department either. Past time that Kenny gleaned the wisdom of both.🤔😔🎤🤼♂️B.W.
@@gapduck3083 He can't change his style because he doesn't know how to wrestle. He just does video game bullshit.
This thumbnail is officially legendary
I'm bummed Jim never commented on Kenny's "Cornette backed himself into a corner..." comments. Those may have come out a little too late for this recording though.
Well he has and the response was what you'd expect
JC "Theory is a guy like MJF"
Me: "Now that would be a good match''
Love the 8-bit artwork! Omega looks like Ric Flair played by TJ Miller and Corny looks like a character from Total Recall 🤣🤣🤣
The last video game Cornette played was Frogger on ColecoVision
Nah, more like Tetris. On a flip phone.
@@Cruising_On_Lake_Havasoma Maybe Snake 🤣
For those that are confused about what Kenny Omega is doing in this clip.
He is playing Street Fighter 5 on twitch. Its a normal thing these days, and its a good way to make money if you have some clout or popularity.
The batman sound is most likely someone giving a donation or following his channel.
We know, tell Jim's old ass that haha
Even I know that - and I yell at senior citizens on e-bikes for their "newfangled hipster crap".
As I said in my other comment: As if there isn't enough legitimate stuff to criticise when it comes to Omega? Ooohh, he makes short pauses mid-sentence because he's doing two things at once here - burn him at the stake!
Good grief Corny, learn to pick your spots! You - of all people - should know how to do that by now...
Theres a part of me that wants Omega to change his wrestling style to a traditional wrestling style, abandon the Bucks and his crew, and have Cornette as his manager. Would cause the IWC to implode
Would be funny tbh
Go back a few years and see Omegas work...then go back a few years and see Cornettes work...Cornette is an indy failure while Omega was drawing 100k fans...
@@ryandavis4448 umm what? Cornette is a legend with 4 decades in the biz, and 300k subs here. Waa a face on global tv, top 5 manager, and booked in the highest ratings ever. Omega is a star while biz is at its weakest, come on bro
@@zell2626 I watched this jackass in my HS gym back in 87 and progressively work his way down the ladder until he landed a forum to brainwash kids that don't know any better. Just remember in his closing moments he "wrestled a TMNT, got fired from WWE, MLW, and NWA for making a racist statement"....thats in the last few years...meanwhile Omega was putting 70k asses in seats and finally starting a company in the US to be 2nd to WWE and becoming champion. You go ahead and put your faith in that "cult" bud...
@@zell2626 I will give him credit tho...he created a funny podcast with funny jokes knowing that the new liberal generation is naive and buys EVERYTHING they're programmed to receive on their phones. He used that knowledge to build a "cult" and its truly genius. But that's where his genius ends...if he were that much of a wrestling "genius" he wouldn't have gotten fired by EVERY single indy promotion drawing 46fans in attendance...
This is taking rent free to a new level.
Twitch would blow Jim's mind.
Imagine if Hardcore Holly in 2002 wrote to Nintendo Power and said "I broke my neck and might never wrestle again".
And the next page would be "sneak peek at next Kirby game"
This is amazing and hits all my nostalgia.
@@ianrocco8453Lol thanks dude
😂 Jim’s reaction when he hears the Batman theme.
I dont think Jim knows the videogame industry is a billion dollar one
Yep, he has no idea lol. The video game industry makes over $180B a year, and is projected to generate over $300B a year by 2025. There are individual games that have made billions of dollars, such as Fortnite.
Travis, you have done it again. The thumbnail is awesome!!!!
This is the most anticipated clip in recent memory. 🤣
Really? I’m excited (players not working for me rn) but over the MJF pipebomb, punk-MJF week to week, FTRs recent revival (bad joke drum), William regals debut, Cody’s debut. I won’t go beyond the first of the year but idk I found myself refreshing the podcast all for those uploads
I personally was more excited to hear him mock Joey Ryan for the Disney land situation
@@alcheman12 yeah Corn having the last laugh on a piece of smeg like Ryan was warm and comforting for me too.
My own pet peeve about this kind of thing is when active talent, who are HEELS, have interviews or go on twitter, or show up on TH-cam, and they're nice. Even Stephanie McMahon did that. She's really a sweet person, but having an interview as herself, when she's a heel on WWE shows, hurts the business.
Man, Keyfave is dead. However, I agree it's phony when it's so obvious.
#1 reason that MJF is great. First time I saw him was after hearing Jim rave about him before AEW started. I watched an hour interview he did with some wrestling journalist in a hotel room. MJF had room service delivered, insulted the bellhop, ate through half the interview while taunting the interviewer and insulting any other talent that was brought up. 100% kayfabe and I was an instant fan!
@@iammine8117 Exactly! Yes, it's a post-kayfabe world, but keeping people mystified as to where that line is would be helpful! And having heels doing heelish things in the ring.
@@thelionsshare6668 correction: keeps the wrestling fans mystified
only the wrestling fans
yep you never saw goldberg or undertaker kissing puppy's on their day off not that they couldnt but they knew or someone did that it would HURT THE BUSINESS for the future
No mention of kenny omegas talking about the old farts just hating on the current wrestling product? Thats odd. Is cornette trying to avoid another back and forth? Really weird they didnt mention anything about that because we all know omega was talking directly to cornette.
That's why Bret Hart and Flair, Ricky Steamboat are great workers. Tells a story, safe and they can do it for years.
who cares about Omega.. that promo last night from the best heel in the business, Christian Cage was absolutely phenomenal 🔥🔥 i give that promo 7 stars 💯💯💯
@Dynasty Christian Cage is coldblooded.
Christian has been killing it lately
The line with Jeff being more sober than Matt….that was gold
Trying to explain what CEO is to Jim would probably make a 30 minute clip. "They make HOW MUCH playing vidja games!"
Not for CEO. FGC is super poverty.
Olivier: *takes a dump on a Japanese grade school student*
Meltzer: SEVEN STARS!
8:42...

Not the biggest fan of Olivier either but him vs Bryan is still my favorite match aew has ever done.
All thanks to Bryan
@@metalheadjake3339 just like Okada
Kenny Omega looked like he aged 10 years in 10 months. If he continues to wrestle like he does he’s going to end up like Captain Pike from Star Trek.

He still looks in better shape with more muscle than most AEW guys.
he's been burning the candle at both ends ; which he thinks fans dont know lol his fans may not but smart people know
@@jamesparker6364 thats like the nicest guy in prison ;compare him to bobby lashley , theory or any real professional wrestling athlete
Love the King Slender pic used for Kenny. I loved that particular wrestling game as a kid
Metzler gave this stream so many stars so fast that Kenny is now the top Mario 64 120 star speedrunner.
The interesting thing is Omega said in that stream that he will have to adapt his style to be more psychology driven and less spotfests. What's funny is that he claims he has already done that transition with the Omega Hangman feud.
But the psychology comes from the personality and Kenny has never understood that. I'm sure Bret Hart could do a moonsault, but what's the point? Kenny has no idea how to tell a good story.
@@shindean this is false. His shit with kota ibushi, the shit with the bullet club fueding. All prime examples of great In ring psychology. Does he do it all the time? No. But don’t act like he can’t.
@@MrThepatient so your argument is that he was good in the country where it didn't matter if he did a promo in English? LoL gee, I wonder why he has to kill himself every week since he didn't develop the promo skills😆

@@shindean LOL AND he had to be carried by Okada (Obviously.)
I love Jim, but his lack of understanding of video game culture is kind of embarrassing. It's the ultimate example of him not knowing how a modern-day audience enjoys themselves away from pro wrestling.

The pauses in his speech arent because he's trying to find the words, its because he's either playing or watching a video game and his attention is divided.
Not to throw shade on Jim or Brian but its clear they don't play video games.
The thumbnail is pure gold 😂😂😂
Damn shame Jim does not realize how good Kenny is. All because he used to help train young kids in Japan and was briefly attached to the comedy promotion in DDT, that is really over in Japan by the way. For better or worse.
I have watched all of his Okada matches and I am yet to realise his appeal. He doesn't even look serious while wrestling.
for better or worse he says lol
I love that nes pro wrestling cover lmfao. Gotta be one of the best ever. Jim as giant panther and omega as king slender
If I didn't see the stream,I wouldn't have known that this was Kenny
sounds pretty normal----for Omega
The repurposed Starman and King Slender thumbnail is great. Many great memories growing up playing that game.
The backflip kick followed up with the spinning forearm to set up the brain buster to make the “victory is eminent” alarm goes off.

😄👍
I think you meant.a Weiner is you 😁
"You're Winner!"
18:40 You are in shape Jim. Round is a shape.
Love the image!! Used to play the Hell outta Nes Pro Wrestling back in the day with my cousins
This clip should have been titled "Jim learns about Twitch" 😂
This thumbnail is straight FIRE
The Pro Wrestling graphic is absolutely fantastic.
I was hoping and waiting for this since I read the Olivier comments
Travis Heckel, you have outdone yourself this time! Great job with the artwork! 😄😄
Strange how Kenny has so many injuries....with wrestling blow up dolls and nine year old girls & such.
01:15 Brian Panicking because Jim is gonna say something controversial are just hilarious 🤣
The batman sound got me 😂
Mr. Heckle, "a winner is you!"
Kenny clearly believes that he’s bigger than what he is. He’s been gone and their viewership hasn’t gotten better or worse….which means that he’s just a guy on the roster.
Since he’s been gone viewership has been down so that’s not a good take.
His streaming is no different than a live podcast

'Thought for sure when I saw the thumbnail this was gonna be Jim's response to Omega's latest comments about him. Looking forward to that one.
You know that Corny clip that you were literally dying to hear?
Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you this week's edition!!
Pro wrestling! As a child I loved that game
Whoever drew the thumbnail is my new hero!!!
Austin was a bigger star after the neck injury when he couldn’t do much than he was when he was putting on wrestling clinics with Bret Hart.
