The real funny thing about that is that cornette is a liberal but the conservatives are his most loyal fans, liberals are always trying to cancel him for all the ludicrous stuff he says but Republicans are always defending him, so yeah....I can totally imagine some of his fans with a confederate flag
Other day russo called corny a p.o.s. for attacking disco inferno on his radio show. Disco didn't care at all he said Jim just likes cutting promos, and Russo was like nah he is a p.o.s. don't make excuses for somebody like him.
If you ever saw some of Russo's promos in early TNA, he was actually great and was incredible at getting heat. We already know how unbelievable Cornette was on the mic. It's really a shame that they couldn't co-exist somewhere to put that feud into action on an actual wrestling show (not that they even had to fight each other but something) because it would've been amazing.
Russo is a way more well adjusted human being than Jim Cornette. Think about what it takes for someone to call your house and say disgusting shit about your children because of fucking fake wrestling. He's a psycho and he's pissed because Russo made a name for himself
Jim Cornette has problems. I agree with Jim but this is just a professional difference. Imagine making a business decision that another coworker doesn't like, and they hold a blood grudge for 30 years. It's freaking insane
I think he could let it go if it’s just business, but Vince Russo writing and manipulation of bosses has cost people jobs and injury’s and caused wrestling to be taken less serious
The clip from the Dark Side Brawl-for-All says it all. Russo's attitude (as someone who had no experience in the business but got into a position of power) was "It's just wrestling, bro". Meanwhile, Corny lived and breathed the business all his life - it was his baby - and someone decided to shit in the baby's mouth in multiple ways with impunity, then went to WCW... and we all know how that ended.
@@RopeDrink it wasn't his baby. Saying something is someone's baby implies they created it. If anyone should hate Russo that much it would be Vince McMahon. He created the current iteration of wrestling. But Vince moved on. Like relatively normal people do.

Cornette has been in the business since he was 14. He lost touch with reality a long time ago. Russo knows this. He knows it's not passed Cornette to kill him over wrestling. Ha!
@@NobodyNewsNetwork Cornette breaks up with people he's been friends with for decades just because they are Republicans. Take Jericho for instance. He's been knowing Chris for 30 years. Now he shits on him every chance he gets. Not only as a wrestler, but particularly as a person. I'm a right-wing conservative. My best friend is a hardcore Antifa member since forever. Yet we love each other. I don't understand how something like different political views can destroy friendships. Some people are so narrow minded. Cornette deserves to be lonely. Pretty much everyone hates this guy for a reason.
Cornette is right a lot of things about wrestling, but he can be one of the biggest assholes ever. Like, he brings up the thing with him and Santino Marella? That confrontation could have been avoided if Cornette actually learned to filter his thoughts.
This is proof they had a gay love affair, cornette is acting like a scorned woman. And he wouldn't be so invested if they didn't already have an intimate relationship.

@Patrick Crain russo is not great but he did his best and Cornette is a cry baby psycho he needs to be gone from pro wrestling ...money is money but all the haters need to be thankful for the attitude era and russo...wwe product is where's it at. Other promotion are just b sides...btw.
@Patrick Crain Russo was only in charge of WCW creative for 3 months before creative was restructured into a booking committee consisting of around 8-10 people that had to agree on everything. That's not enough time to draw big ratings as in a full point. That takes time and consistency as we saw with RAW in 1997-98. WCW in 2000 was not Russo's sole vision but he's constantly blamed for it. Eric Bischoff was there, Tony Schiavone was there, Disco Inferno was there, Ed Ferrara was there, Kevin Sullivan was there, JJ Dillon was there, Jeremy Borash was there and Terry Taylor was there. That's too many cooks in the kitchen, but Russo did push for Booker T to go over as champion, and Nitro's ratings did start climbing again towards the end of the summer in 2000. As for an innovative gimmick I would suggest David Flair and Daphne as the insane couple in 1999. It was a complete transformation for David Flair and they were both brilliant at it. The feud with Ric Flair produced some great segments such as the one at Flair's house. Creative Control was unique in terms of pro wrestling too (it was a play on Steinbrenner from Seinfeld but nobody in wrestling had done it for an authority figure as far as I'm aware). Russo kept Nitro's ratings above a 3.0 for the most part during his first run after they had dropped to a 2.6.
@Patrick Crain Are you suggesting he should have been able to grow the viewership from a 3.3 to a 4.3 in 3 months? This considering the fact that Nitro had been in decline all year before he arrived? Sorry but that's not how television works. Literally nobody in the history of the wrestling business has done that. Even regular episodic television shows can't do that lol. Look at hit shows like The Walking Dead. That show didn't hit its ratings peak until season 5. It took years of steady growth to hit that height, they didn't just make some big leap during season 1. It's much easier to lose viewers with bad TV than it is to gain them with good TV, especially if the show had been in decline to lose the trust of those viewers in the first place. Again, as RAW showed us in 1997 it took them 9 months to a year to start winning the trust of the audience back after years of Wrestlecrap gimmicks following the Hulkamania era. It was throughout 1998 that you really started to see the viewership grow.
I feel like Russo and cornette both lie for different reasons, but Russo seems more down to earth, where as cornette might have a closet alter of Russo that he sits in front of, putting on lipstick like buffalo bob
Cornette is all about passion. I understand it. I even empathize with it. Russo is simply a guy doing a job badly. There is no passion for professional wrestling for Vince Russo. none.
This whole ordeal has to be a complete nightmare for Russo. He might have been controversial, but he certainly doesn't deserve to be treated this way over things that happened 15-20 years ago. I like both Cornette and Russo, but again, seriously, Corny needs to let this go.
Russo fucked Cornette over when they were working for both the WWF and TNA, I'm sure if you knew the sonofabitch that got you fired more than once you wouldnt think to highly of them either.
@@chrishinton9209 Chris, I couldn't agree more. I don't like like the way Corny refers to Russo in derogatory, I don't like he says stuff about urinating on his grave, I don't like how he talks about other people in violence. It's just way to much. When I hear Corny now it's like listening to an autistic bully: It's painful, it's sad, it's depressing. Yet, when I listen to Russo, I'm amused and laugh.
@@jp6046 I don’t believe everything Russo says and I do think Corny is the overall wrestling mind. Personally to me, Vince Russo is the Mel Kiper of wrestling. But if he’s the Mel Kiper of wrestling, Cornette is the Bobby Knight/Barry Switzer. Vince Russo isn’t any more of a liar than Paul Heyman. Corny has become a toxic, bitter old fart that can’t accept that other people are happy and he’s miserable. Corny is a fake tough guy. He ain’t bout it like he claims. Santino Marrella got right in his face in a hotel lobby and dared him to do something and he didn’t do shit. If I was going to start a Wrestling company today, my head booker would either be Paul Heyman (as long as you don’t let him anywhere near the books), Dutch Mantell, or Adam Blamphied.
@@chrishinton9209 So I agree that Corny has a better wrestling mind and therefore a better booker. I like how he hates the goofy stuff that McMahon was doing because I hated the same thing. That being said, I agree with Russo in the "I am not a booker, I am a television writer". Russo's writing and storytelling was the whole reason while I got back into watching wrestling in the first place. It's the whole reason my college friends (who were not wrestling fans) started watching the Attitude Era. His writing appealed to the demographic the WWF was targeting at the time (I was in college). Bro, we are on the same page as far as starting a company goes. I'd totally have Heyman, Dutch, and Adam (I love how Adam would have booked segments). But I need Russo in there. Oh, and Dave Meltzer is the Mel Kiper of wrestling :)
Cornettes pure, complete hatred of Vince is no my favourite example of why holding on to hate is more destructive than constructive. Id argue , quite seriously, his hatred of Russo is up there with the love of his wife and family, which like, goddamn. That’s fucked
And he’s this purported liberal and democratic socialist and everything else, shocking that he’s a total hypocrite and uses that shtick as a front for being actually a horrible person
So heartbreaking that Screwso broke up a 45 year friendship. Yeah Bolin is oily as hell, but he and Jim were best friends...all the crap aside....Screwso destroyed that.
Because russo is a real man, he doesn't hold grudges like spit water on cornette . Russo is telling the truth he made wwf attitude money and yet nobody complains about that. Jim took this personal what a cry-baby and russo moved on...well mass audience I thought the Bella twins needed a mass audience ...
Russo has more Patreon subscribers than Cornette and is earning enough behind his Brand paywall to pay everybody on his podcasting network. He's also interviewing Hollywood legends now.
I used to watch Corny and I still like some of his clips and aew rants. Sick of his hatred and far left ramblings, and starting to ignore him. At this point I wish russo the best, and wish corny could grow up.
I watch a lot of JJ, stone cold, JR, cornette, and russo. I watch random shoot interviews. I honestly love the Cornette memes. I enjoy his AEW takes , but Cornette honestly doesn't seem like someone good to emulate
He sold it because he's a businessman, Russo. People find it hilarious. You're going to die before Cornette, Vince. He'll be there to piss on your grave when you do. It's a mission for him.
Vince Russo is an idiot. Im not sure why he felt it was ok to destroy "only wrestling". You are talking about destroying and costing millions of dollars within an industry...some people are going to be upset. He apparently did not care.
I'm not sure what Russo and Cornette would debate, also, Russo taking out an order of protection wouldn't stop Cornette fans showing up to Russo's house.
Jim's problem IMO is he thinks he's actually a wrestler which he never was like sometimes saying i weigh 280 lbs ya jim of belly fat he act's like just because he's in wrestling he's big and tuff kinda like a ufc fan who thinks he's tuff just because he watches it like flipping out in the drive thru what a clown.
I agree, Jim could be entertaining on occasion but his incident in the drive thru was totally embarrassing, unprofessional and that's something that he should not brag about. 🤬👎
I think the real issue is that Cornette blames a lot of his lifes mistakes on Russo. That is the sad part. It is like someone gets a job that you applied for and by real data improves the business. You get mad and hate the person. You feel you could have done a better job. That is what is really sad.
Fact of the matter is Russo's wrestling story lines were terrible. His writing was subpar and his ideas were even worse. And as an example just look up WCW Bash at the Beach 2000.
WWF was struggling in the mid-90s while Cornette was writing the shows with McMahon. Russo was editing the magazine and pitched McMahon on a change of direction towards the "Crash TV" style that became the Attitude Era. Cornette's writing style and Russo's writing style were incompatible, McMahon had to pick one and commit to it. He chose Russo. Cornette is still bitter about it.
They are two opposites of the spectrum - Vince did Crash TV, which is this: short match, fight in the locker room, vignette, short match. Jim is strictly wrestling and story telling, along with building stories and feuds, with a big payout at a Pay Per View. Jim Ross said it best: “Vince Russo is the sizzle, Jim Cornette is the steak.” Also, Jim has said it best: “We are two polar opposites: he’s a Northerner, I’m a Southerner, he hates wrestling, I love wrestling, if one of us was a black lesbian nun, it’d be all put together.” Also, Russo has said multiple times that he “hates the wrestling business.” and has begged people for a job.
Bro? Have they addressed this bro? Bro, is this still, literally bro, is this still broing on? Bro, is this, like bro, still going on bro? Between bro, Cornette and Russbro? Have they,bro, talked this out bro?
I love listening to Cornette’s wrestling stories but he’s a legitimate nutcase and to hold this kind of anger and hatred toward someone for this long shows how incredibly mentally weak he is. There is no winner in this story but Jim Cornette is definitely the loser. Vince Russo owns prime real estate smack dab in the middle of Jim Cornette’s brain.
Cornette & Russo is the greatest rivalry of our time
It's a bit of a one-sided rivalry though. Just Cornette's bitterness that Russo was chosen to be Head Writer over him.

That's too many cooks in the kitchen, but Russo did push for Booker T to go over as champion, and Nitro's ratings did start climbing again towards the end of the summer in 2000. As for an innovative gimmick I would suggest David Flair and Daphne as the insane couple in 1999. It was a complete transformation for David Flair and they were both brilliant at it. The feud with Ric Flair produced some great segments such as the one at Flair's house. Creative Control was unique in terms of pro wrestling too (it was a play on Steinbrenner from Seinfeld but nobody in wrestling had done it for an authority figure as far as I'm aware). Russo kept Nitro's ratings above a 3.0 for the most part during his first run after they had dropped to a 2.6.
@Patrick Crain Are you suggesting he should have been able to grow the viewership from a 3.3 to a 4.3 in 3 months? This considering the fact that Nitro had been in decline all year before he arrived? Sorry but that's not how television works. Literally nobody in the history of the wrestling business has done that. Even regular episodic television shows can't do that lol. Look at hit shows like The Walking Dead. That show didn't hit its ratings peak until season 5. It took years of steady growth to hit that height, they didn't just make some big leap during season 1.
It's much easier to lose viewers with bad TV than it is to gain them with good TV, especially if the show had been in decline to lose the trust of those viewers in the first place. Again, as RAW showed us in 1997 it took them 9 months to a year to start winning the trust of the audience back after years of Wrestlecrap gimmicks following the Hulkamania era. It was throughout 1998 that you really started to see the viewership grow.
@Patrick Crain Yet you're on here watching shoot interviews and commenting about it lol. Makes sense!
I live in Evansville Indiana, I'll be the referee in that fight
I feel like Russo and cornette both lie for different reasons, but Russo seems more down to earth, where as cornette might have a closet alter of Russo that he sits in front of, putting on lipstick like buffalo bob
Cornette is all about passion. I understand it. I even empathize with it. Russo is simply a guy doing a job badly. There is no passion for professional wrestling for Vince Russo. none.
This whole ordeal has to be a complete nightmare for Russo. He might have been controversial, but he certainly doesn't deserve to be treated this way over things that happened 15-20 years ago. I like both Cornette and Russo, but again, seriously, Corny needs to let this go.
Russo fucked Cornette over when they were working for both the WWF and TNA, I'm sure if you knew the sonofabitch that got you fired more than once you wouldnt think to highly of them either.
I can't support Corny anymore. I used to like him but I can't condone the way he treats people.
@@chrishinton9209 Chris, I couldn't agree more. I don't like like the way Corny refers to Russo in derogatory, I don't like he says stuff about urinating on his grave, I don't like how he talks about other people in violence. It's just way to much. When I hear Corny now it's like listening to an autistic bully: It's painful, it's sad, it's depressing. Yet, when I listen to Russo, I'm amused and laugh.
@@jp6046 I don’t believe everything Russo says and I do think Corny is the overall wrestling mind. Personally to me, Vince Russo is the Mel Kiper of wrestling. But if he’s the Mel Kiper of wrestling, Cornette is the Bobby Knight/Barry Switzer. Vince Russo isn’t any more of a liar than Paul Heyman. Corny has become a toxic, bitter old fart that can’t accept that other people are happy and he’s miserable. Corny is a fake tough guy. He ain’t bout it like he claims. Santino Marrella got right in his face in a hotel lobby and dared him to do something and he didn’t do shit. If I was going to start a Wrestling company today, my head booker would either be Paul Heyman (as long as you don’t let him anywhere near the books), Dutch Mantell, or Adam Blamphied.
@@chrishinton9209 So I agree that Corny has a better wrestling mind and therefore a better booker. I like how he hates the goofy stuff that McMahon was doing because I hated the same thing. That being said, I agree with Russo in the "I am not a booker, I am a television writer". Russo's writing and storytelling was the whole reason while I got back into watching wrestling in the first place. It's the whole reason my college friends (who were not wrestling fans) started watching the Attitude Era. His writing appealed to the demographic the WWF was targeting at the time (I was in college).
Bro, we are on the same page as far as starting a company goes. I'd totally have Heyman, Dutch, and Adam (I love how Adam would have booked segments). But I need Russo in there. Oh, and Dave Meltzer is the Mel Kiper of wrestling :)
It’s never going to end
Cornette is a coward
Stop saying bro FFS 🤣
Bro, This was intense.
Bro we can have a good ol fashioned bro down bro I mean can I be honest for a second bro let's do it bro
Cornette is a legit nutcase.
And the thing his he didn't have to have a transcript..He probably lied,all you have to do is say that you're scared of someone 🤷
Cornettes pure, complete hatred of Vince is no my favourite example of why holding on to hate is more destructive than constructive. Id argue , quite seriously, his hatred of Russo is up there with the love of his wife and family, which like, goddamn. That’s fucked
And he’s this purported liberal and democratic socialist and everything else, shocking that he’s a total hypocrite and uses that shtick as a front for being actually a horrible person
So heartbreaking that Screwso broke up a 45 year friendship. Yeah Bolin is oily as hell, but he and Jim were best friends...all the crap aside....Screwso destroyed that.
Only Cornette is reaching mass audiences, Russo’s podcast is an absolute flop
Because russo is a real man, he doesn't hold grudges like spit water on cornette . Russo is telling the truth he made wwf attitude money and yet nobody complains about that. Jim took this personal what a cry-baby and russo moved on...well mass audience I thought the Bella twins needed a mass audience ...
Vince had a choice between Jim and russo he picked russo
Jim Cornette’s podcast is pathetic lol
Russo has more Patreon subscribers than Cornette and is earning enough behind his Brand paywall to pay everybody on his podcasting network. He's also interviewing Hollywood legends now.
I used to watch Corny and I still like some of his clips and aew rants. Sick of his hatred and far left ramblings, and starting to ignore him. At this point I wish russo the best, and wish corny could grow up.
Cornette vs Russo is the Wrestlemania match we should’ve got but didn’t
Nowhere does he just say, "yeah the truth scares me, but mostly im just a pussy"
Bolin worked this guy so hard
I actually like em both Russo and Cornette
Cornette is an absolute nutcase. This isn't surprising at all.
Cornette is passionate about what he's worked his whole life for.
I love Cornette but I wish he would get over Russo
10:02 i died laughing 😂❤
Dammit, I uploaded the exact same clip but I only had the shoot in audio form. :P
I watch a lot of JJ, stone cold, JR, cornette, and russo. I watch random shoot interviews.
I honestly love the Cornette memes. I enjoy his AEW takes , but Cornette honestly doesn't seem like someone good to emulate
Oh bro, it's unbelievable bro, I'm gonna be brutally honest bro
He sold it because he's a businessman, Russo. People find it hilarious. You're going to die before Cornette, Vince. He'll be there to piss on your grave when you do. It's a mission for him.
Vince stop saying bro you’re 60 years old for crying out loud!
take a shot everytime he says BRO
Vince Russo is an idiot. Im not sure why he felt it was ok to destroy
"only wrestling". You are talking about destroying and costing millions of dollars within an industry...some people are going to be upset. He apparently did not care.
I'm not sure what Russo and Cornette would debate, also, Russo taking out an order of protection wouldn't stop Cornette fans showing up to Russo's house.
I understand Jim is passionate about the business but you don’t threaten someone’s family that’s crossing the line
He was cutting a promo....and he never said some of the things Screwso said he did.
Jim's problem IMO is he thinks he's actually a wrestler which he never was like sometimes saying i weigh 280 lbs ya jim of belly fat he act's like just because he's in wrestling he's big and tuff kinda like a ufc fan who thinks he's tuff just because he watches it like flipping out in the drive thru what a clown.
I agree, Jim could be entertaining on occasion but his incident in the drive thru was totally embarrassing, unprofessional and that's something that he should not brag about. 🤬👎
@@johnzeegler8641 Cornette had worked his entire life in the business and Russo buried it.
What's crazy is that russo is the heel
Russo in't a heel
I would love to see corny give vince that present he deserves.
This is worse than Pac and Big.
Kenny Bolin was lying or ribbing Russo IF the story is even vaguely true. 🤦♂️
Just took my evening Russo
The way he says bro infuriates me
This video should of been named “Bro”
Lol he’s scared of cornette
As he very well should be.
Jim challenged him to a duel and Russo went to the law, he's a stool pigeon and a coward
Maybe the only honest thing Russo has ever said is this guy is such a shit stirrer.
Russo is a Boring Guy...
Cornette is a Screaming Queen...
Basically
Bro! I don't hate Cornette. Bro, bro, bro...
The bottom line is Russo is scared. So sad
Corny is all mouth he'll be getting his face clobbered & most any civilian can do it, str8 bitch
I think the real issue is that Cornette blames a lot of his lifes mistakes on Russo. That is the sad part. It is like someone gets a job that you applied for and by real data improves the business. You get mad and hate the person. You feel you could have done a better job. That is what is really sad.
He has a family. Something that you know nothing about.
imagine sum1 being scared of Jimmy Poindexter
Lmao and Cornette isnt?! Why hasn't Jim accepted Vince's challenge to a debate?
Fact of the matter is Russo's wrestling story lines were terrible. His writing was subpar and his ideas were even worse. And as an example just look up WCW Bash at the Beach 2000.
Now you’re just bullshitting.
Russo 🤏 Jim offered a meeting, Vince chicken shitted out. Jim wins, flawless victory
You got it backwards, Russo offered to a meeting with Jim and Jim chickened out
I would like to know what exactly started the Vince Russo vs. Jim Cornette feud.
Both men are just complete opposites. Cornette also loves the wrestling business and believes Russo helped ruin it.
WWF was struggling in the mid-90s while Cornette was writing the shows with McMahon. Russo was editing the magazine and pitched McMahon on a change of direction towards the "Crash TV" style that became the Attitude Era. Cornette's writing style and Russo's writing style were incompatible, McMahon had to pick one and commit to it. He chose Russo. Cornette is still bitter about it.
@@brainofwombat, based on this alone, Cornette should be mad at McMahon, not Russo.
@@jasonmyers8600 not really true, wrestling was dying and it needed change
They are two opposites of the spectrum - Vince did Crash TV, which is this: short match, fight in the locker room, vignette, short match. Jim is strictly wrestling and story telling, along with building stories and feuds, with a big payout at a Pay Per View. Jim Ross said it best: “Vince Russo is the sizzle, Jim Cornette is the steak.”
Also, Jim has said it best: “We are two polar opposites: he’s a Northerner, I’m a Southerner, he hates wrestling, I love wrestling, if one of us was a black lesbian nun, it’d be all put together.” Also, Russo has said multiple times that he “hates the wrestling business.” and has begged people for a job.
Bro? Have they addressed this bro? Bro, is this still, literally bro, is this still broing on? Bro, is this, like bro, still going on bro? Between bro, Cornette and Russbro? Have they,bro, talked this out bro?
Bro that gets annoying real quick Bro
I love Russo
It blows my mind how far Russo made it in the wrestling business with such paper thin skin
He didn't threaten to have anyone find u 😂
He heard Bruce Prichard’s impression “I’ll kill you moth****cker” and got confused
I love listening to Cornette’s wrestling stories but he’s a legitimate nutcase and to hold this kind of anger and hatred toward someone for this long shows how incredibly mentally weak he is. There is no winner in this story but Jim Cornette is definitely the loser. Vince Russo owns prime real estate smack dab in the middle of Jim Cornette’s brain.
Russo practically lives rent free in Cornette's head
