"hey, you thought I was fucking licking her fucking carpet, but why you thought that I hit you with a fucking dropkick" - actually in tears of laughter
I choked on a some breakfast I was cooking had to replay it.
Brian's belly laugh always gets me 🤣
I wish jim cornette was british, hed be our national hero over here
"Wait, is that actually your mom? She doesn't look older than yo-"
*WHAAM*
I don’t think i ever laughed this hard in my life 😂😂
Jim has called shitstain MANY names over the years . But hearing him call him “you loaf of unbaked dough” literally made me stop in my tracks and start screaming laughing
I'm still crying!
This has been jims greatest rant in a while, i was crying laughing during the entire video
As far as bread related analogies, can't beat Jim calling someone a "half-baked brown n' serve roll covered in pubic hair"
@@nero48 very true. He is unmatched in quality and quantity.
I have to work that in as an insult in the next month!
Sometimes I wake up at night in a cold sweat thinking about how I never got closure on the Beaver Cleavage storyline.
Vince Russo: I'm not going to waste my time explaining to you where this is going.
Also Vince Russo: Writes an entire article trying to explain where this is going.
I hated Russo's booking and hate having to defend him but (a) the website is paying him and (b) I think (key word!) that Russo is just trying to sink into a heel persona. It's phony, like his booking, but I won't fault him for doing it since he's getting paid.
@@manuelper Kind of just reinforces Cornette's point though that Russo will say anything as long as he can draw another check from the wrestling business. It's funny how Russo claims to always be damaged and victimized by this business, yet he's constantly clamoring to get back into it, and this is the only way how he can since no halfway reputable promotion-or AEW-will answer his calls.
@@daleharris3809 Don't disagree, Russo has the proverbial victim mentality.
Even in his article he swerves ppl.
BrO
I wake up to find that I have the day off due to weather, and I find a new anti-Russo Corny rant waiting for me. Christmas has come two days early.
A festivus miracle!
Indeed brother!!
Ha ha!!🤣👍
Fantastic lol
You've come too early by the sound of it
This is just gold. Between Corny’s one liners and Brian laughing his ass off, just put this one in the hall of fame right now.
This one and the one about Finn Balor are diamond tier excellent 😂
@@AxeDharme Which Finn Balor episode?

“Tessa taking a shit”
“The Brandi/Jade Cargill promo”
“The Kenny King story”

Anything involving Shitstain or Jim Herd
There’s a start.
"...the homophobic fear..." I almost choked on my lunch hearing that brilliant expression
Homophobic Fear*, capitals
Headline says 'Russo' on a Cornette video = I click immediately. Don't even care what it's about. This never ever (EVER) gets old. 🤣
Twinsies! I love his Russo rants.
@@savagecatgt Tripletsies! I love his Russo rants.
Oh yeah same Jim's Russo rants never get old.
I was as going to give this comment a like but it's on 69 😅
Constantly hearing Jim say "Capitals" while reading Vince Russo's column had me cracking up laughing. I can totally see Russo typing a column like that.
Can hear Russo voice too
@@harveycryst222 its weird to hear it in Russo's voice WITHOUT (capitals) Bro in the end of each sentence.
@@insignificantaftermathPROJECTS 6:34
SAME!!! I’m over here dying 😂🤣🤣
The way cornette describes Russos writing style makes Russo sound like frank miller.
“Candidly, he’s got serious, serious, and I’m speaking from experience, he’s got serious mental health issues. There’s no doubt in my mind, and I’ve said it for years.” - Jeff Jarrett
This the same Jeff Jarrett who got fired from his previous two jobs in wrestling, one of which was because he kept showing up to work drunk?
That's the Jeff Jarrett lecturing about mental health?
@@eugenen1585 Yeah, that guy is successful in wrestling, Russo is not.
@@eugenen1585 It's called experience and expertise.
What's lovely is, this quote out of context could easily refer to either Vinny Ru or Corny. These crazy bastards deserve each other.
@@pendafen7405 nah, Cornette understands wrestling. Russo only understands 90s crash TV
That line about: "you thought I was licking her carpet, but really, I hit you with a dropkick", when trying to explain Russo's rationale, almost killed me 😂
Absolute gold... I literally burst out laughing in Tesco, queuing up with my shopping
That should be a wrestling meme, I swear....
I’m crying at that bit
Hit, capitals, you with a drop kick...
Marty, capitals, Janetty, capitals.
98 percent of Wrestlecrap's material we're just Russo's ideas
That's not a fair assessment. Only 75% was Russo.
@@Vagajammer The other 25% is Shockmaster
Actually Wrestlecrap use to make fun of Vince Russo alot.
A bunch of Memphis gimmicks as well
I'd say, 75% Shitstain, 5% wrestling in 1995, 5% Jim Herd, 5% scummy happenings that anger the fans, 5% Awful short lived promotions like WWA, WXO, XWF, and Herb Abrams' UWF, and 5% Shockmaster.
"An eggplant would've figured it out" as Cornette would say. Loving this burial of Vince Russo
That sounds like something Cornette would say.
Is Jim calling shit stain a mental incompetent?
@@ronaldbrush4373 don't forget the King of All Dumb Fucks😂
I believe he said this in his during his time with tna vid and somethin to do with eric young scared of his own fireworks and falling
@@atimetraveler4910 I remember that and it stuck with me. Lol
This is gonna be one of those Cornette rants i go back to again and again when I need a good laugh.
@Nero or the epic burial of white lightning Tim Horner
@@Mr.GoldCoast516or jelly nutella setting his foot on fire
Glad Im not the only one who shares theswe sentiments. LOL
i like his reaction to johns return on his anniversary and nikki bellas comments on vader hof induction
I have a playlist of his rants on Russo
Wrestlecrap was the website that first informed me of how insane Vince Russo and his booking style were. They ripped his writing apart in their articles and in two different books. I respected the fact that they brought him onto the show as a guest after they had ripped on him, but I never thought I would see the day he be here a staff writer for them. In fact, they announced that as an April Fool's joke years ago.
Probably, nobody care about wrestlecrap,so I guess they have to use Vince russo ,so that anyone could care about wrestlecrap
True...wrestlecrap used to kick all kinds of ass...;)
@@abcsin6526As they say in Media - There is NOTHING called Negative Publicity and "Controversy creates Cash"- Vince Russo brings both.
Wrestlecrap was a blast to read in the 2000s. It was botchamania in written form with talented writers RD Reynolds and company with hilarious historical takes.
"...but while you thought that, I hit you with a fucking dropkick" hahaha
🤣🤣☠️
Imagine announcers having to explain that shit. "Jack Jackson is bewildered by Beaver kissing the woman rumored to be his mother on ringside and Beaver is taking total advantage of it. Right before the break, Beaver landed a huge dropkick and he's been in control ever since."
It's crazy how he overthinks while simultaneously underthinking
Truly the Pep Guardiola of booking.
OMG Vincce Russo is the best. I still remember the match he booked at Wrestlemania 3. That is when The Honky Tonk Man slammed Andre the Giant. Then the Macho Man ran down to the ring to Slam Andre, but before he could Elizabeth grabbed Andre and Slammed him. Bobby The Brain Heenan was so mad he then slammed Andre. At that point Vince Russo descended from the rafters to the theme "Sexy Boy" and slammed Andre. He grabbed the microphone and said "Wooooo, if you smell what the crock is smoking."
That’s too good to be written by Russo
Vince Russo wouldn't write Elizabeth to slam Andre. He'd write her lie about be pregnant.
Brian Last - "Why is everything capitalized?"
Jimcy- ' I DONT KNOW"
“He was so uncool he didn’t do drugs” that finished me 🤣🤣
Ahh yes, the old "munching her carpet" distraction. Always works a charm.
Some people obviously don't know how to fight. The ole starting the rumor that you have sex with the woman that birthed you is a huge distraction when someone knows of the rumor.
A Christmas miracle!!! A Cornette Russo clip to warm my heart.
I just had a flashback to Tourette's-era Golddust. "....to warm the cock-cock-cock...cockles of my heart!"
@@zlinedavid POP!!
Russo will blame anyone but himself. But if you’re a writer and can’t get your material over, it’s on you as a writer.
Russo single-handedly destroyed the wrestling business.
People can say what they will about Eric Bischoff; but for all his faults, Bischoff DOES at least admits his screw-ups. Russo will throw a hand grenade into a shopping mall and blame the shoppers for being there on Black Friday and blame the pin for not being in the grenade….
When Jim read the quote from Russo "I like to think I wrote a thinking mans wrestling show." and Brian immediately says Oh come on I LOVE that for a moment we hear Jim's normal voice saying "I swear to god". Brian literally was taking the words out of the mouths of everyone who knows Russo's history. Jim's reply of I swear to God almost felt directed at all of us who can't believe Russo would actually make that claim.
It may be easy to criticize Russo but here's what really hits me about this column- Vince Russo describes himself as some kind of visionary with some revolutionary outlook, like "others would have done this but I don't write TV that way!" like he's David Lynch or something- and then, it's a parody/satire of 1960s pop culture that Vince Russo watched as a little kid. How is that visionary or groundbreaking??
He's a moron that thinks he's the smartest guy in the room. Its not rare.
He just happened to be at the right place at the right time for a few years.
David Lynch can and does make fun of himself. Russo takes himself so seriously that he takes every criticism like they're attacking his family.
You must have Homophobic Fear to not see Vince Bro Russos Genius🤣
Hearing Jim's reading causing Brian to break is priceless.
What a GREAT week for Cornette's Drive thru🤣🤣🤣
"Your Loss Not Mine" sounds like a perfect title for the story of Vince Russo at WCW.
Although apparently he spells it “You’re Loss” :-)
Anybody else fell out laughing until crying? You the man Corny
Can I just say that even RD Reynolds, the owner of WrestleCrap, can't believe that Russo is on their staff. That hire should win the Gooker Award all by itself...(but yeah, I'm pretty sure Brawl Out has that award in the bag...)
The Gooker award 🤣🤣🤣
I know this was the Attitude Era and the WWF was the most popular thing in the world but what drugs was Vince McMahon on when he approved of the Beaver Cleavage character?!
Vince was the one willing to do an incest angle with his own daughter. You do the math.
That’s right up Vince’s alley
Sadly, McMahon likes humor like that.
I mean this was the same Vince that approved the Katie Vick angle and Val Venis getting his dick cut off. This was right up his alley.
Brian's laughter is the laughter of the listeners, that article absolutely floored me. 🤣
I remember in an interview one time Eric Bishoff said the Turner executives over seeing WCW told him when they asked him to come back that one of their issues was Vince Russo didn’t understand story telling. I think this “column,” backs that up.
100% I’ve watched a few interviews with bischoff, and he summarised what he was told by the turned execs as
1. Russo has no long term story telling ability it’s just stuff happening.
2. Everything is grimey and dirty there’s nothing clean or easy to digest.
3. He can come up with a match or an incident but no know how or why or where to from there. (Which for mind ties into the no long term story telling)
Bischoff summed it up as russo’s mind never developed past a 13 year old stealing his dads playboy and jerking off behind a shed while smoking a cigarette.
Damn...I'll forever be haunted not knowing what was in store for Beaver Cleavage until my dying day.
Probably would have ended up being that beaver and his mum were actually kane and the undertakers real parents and Paul bearer just kidnapped and brainwashed them, they weren’t actually in a fire at all.
He fucked his mum. Be haunted no more.
Man...Cornette destroying Russo is the gift that keeps on giving. Happy Holidays folks
From 7:55 until about 9:00 I was cry laughing in my kitchen so goddamn hard I almost passed out 😂🤣😭
Jim cornette is the funniest man in wrestling
THIS is how you do comedy in wrestling
I remember the domestic abuse portion. It was after Chaz dropped the Beaver Cleavage gimmick and was going by Chaz. IIRC, it played out on Sunday Night Heat but the one who was the mom, I think was Marianna, claimed Chaz had beaten her up. The wrestlers wanted nothing to do with Chaz and this went on for weeks until Thrasher returned and played a GTV video of Marianna admitting she made the whole thing up and (I might be misremembering) putting makeup on to show bruises from Chaz.
The most unrealistic thing about that angle was that any of the other wrestlers would oppose domestic partner abuse.
I was hoping Jim would review this.
He's gonna do this every week. I hope Jim and Brian continue to review these
BTW, Wrestlecrap was started by an indie manager known as "R.D. Reynolds" and has been around for 22 years and most of the site's reviews line up pretty well with Jim's. For whatever reason, the Reynolds struck up a friendship with Russo (despite their differences in wrestling philosophies) and they get along great as long as they don't discuss wrestling.
I personally would love to see Jim and Reynolds do a panel together at a fanfest.
I used to love WrestleCrap but the last time I went on there it looked like it had serious AEW brainworms. Every bad WWE moment was on the table but I couldn't see Orange Cassidy anywhere, and he should be a multi-time Gooker recipient at this point.
@@youtubeemployeesarestupid3464 It's a shame those two have Russo writing a column as the WCW book is really good.
@@spiraleyes145 wwe better
@N. Jones Re-read. they aren't the guys running the site.
Vince Russo: “wrestling fans are fickle and so damn impatient bro!”
Wrestling fans: *sat in anticipation for the 18 months of builds and conclusions of NWO/Hogan vs. Sting at Starcade 97 and Sabu vs. Tazz at Barely Legal 97*
Add to that waiting two years for Cody to win the belt from Roman. Now the Bloodline angle is really heating up, and will likely lead to the long-awaited Rock vs. Roman at Wrestlemania.
8:00 “You loaf of unbaked dough!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love you Corny!!! You’re the best
@Dishonor The Dawn thanks grammar nerd.
I was 14 when this shit took place. I saw the vignettes and thought "what the fuck is this?".
CAPITALS!!!!
Vince Russo would watch Jerry Springer and all of the clone shows for like 6 hours straight and eat Sbarro in between. Dream job!
In Guy Evans book Nitro: the rise in inevitable fall of Ted Turner’s WCW, he states that when Russo was the editor or writer of the college newspaper in Indiana he went to, he insulted the basketball team in an article and they reacted by getting into a physical altercation with .
So,was he beaten up?
8:09-8:19 I haven't laughed so hard during a Jim Cornette video. 🤣🤣🤣
Its been a while since i laughed so hard that i had tears in my eyes.
Thank you, Jim and Brian. I needed that.
And as much as everyone hated beaver cleavage I'm sure Vince LOVED it
After that McMahon DVD came out about Vince's idea for Steph, we all know why Beaver Cleavage got aired.
Brian cackling at Jim verbally destroying Vince Russo has instantly cured my bad mood.
8:07- 8:18 quote of the year right there 😆
Brian's laugh is the gift that keeps on giving.
If you’ve found his podcast, you’ll know he’s the “grift that keeps on giving”.
Vince has been misreading the room for decades, no one has ever cared where beaver cleavage was going .
As a viewer of all 3 companies of that era on a weekly basis, most were just wondering why he couldn't keep being a headbanger.
Yes, he could have been a singles wrestler but still a headbanger. I could see him doing well in the lower middle card or middle card. Maybe a European champ or something.
@@Deadpool_64 nah screw that make him a motherbanger
@@Deadpool_64 "Maybe y'all shouldn't dance.. maybe y'all should just...POSE" -Mr. Nancy
“Shit stain is now employed by wrestle crap” lmao, I’m in the right timeline.
I like when Russo is all "You actually believed she's his mother? They're the same age, bro!" The truth is the WWF was so stupid at that point that my assumption was that no care was given in regards to the age of Beaver and his mother. I just figured they thought a walking incest joke was funny so they were going to put it out there regardless if it made sense. It's also funny that he's accusing us of being dumb for "falling for it" when the whole end game was apparently to fool the babyfaces. So the fans shouldn't be so stupid for falling for it but it's okay for the babyface to be that dumb? How does coming across as a moron help the babyface?
How does he even say he is a Christian
We know damn well there was no endgame to this angle.
Russo didn't make Stone Cold, The Rock, Shawn Michaels, or Undertaker... the TALENT made the Attitude era. He did help push a lot of mid card guys, but just as often he buried them with terrible ideas like this. Russo's innovation was to push storylines for everyone on the card. Problem is that leaves no time for any actual wrestling matches.
Yeah but you have to remember, russo doesn’t like wrestling. So wrestling on a wrestling show would be verboten in his eyes.
I support having something for everyone on the roster especially in an international program being watched weekly, as you can use the mid carders with interesting angles to make it so that Austin or rock doesn’t have yo work 5 times a night 3 times a week. But the angles have to be not garbage.
The domestic abuse angle, why was i surprised? Remember when Jim read out a booking sheet from russo and his big ideas for sunny was “DX abuses her” and sables angle was “mero abuses her” the clown lives out his fantasy of being able to beat his wife in a fight by getting wrestlers to do it on tv with women who wouldn’t look at russo if he was the last man on earth and the girls were boarding on uncontrollably horny. With russo they’d find a way to master it, and avoid him.
Russo attending Brian's bar mitzvah always cracks me up 😂
The hearty laugh around 12:33, for example by Brian Last sounds like me, sometimes...
I love a good chuckle.
My favorite part is when Jim says “Capitals”
“Gee, I really want to know how this incest angle plays out!”- No wrestling fan ever.
Thank you for this at Christmas. I will treasure these laughs forever.
The hearty laughter around 12:47 & 12:33, for example by Brian Last sounds like me, sometimes...
I love a good chuckle.
Why am I not surprised that Russo capitalizes random words in the middle of sentences like Donald Trump.
The same time Brian started laughing my father and I busted a gut. ROFLMMFAO. 😂🤣😂
I spilled my coffee laughing so hard listening to this.....
It’s not what we didn’t understand about Beaver Cleavage Russo, it’s what we DID understand.
"Would Homophobic Fear be Homophobia?"
"Well, if you're afraid of being afraid, then that's a double negative. That means that you actually are really gay." LOL
😭😭😭😭🤣🤣
I lost it at that line. Was listening to the Drive Thru as I was driving home through the goddamn blizzard last night and had to pull over for about a minute so I wouldn’t lose control when I heard that line.
@@zlinedavid Careful driving out there, buddy.
@@ZZZGGGLLLAAAHHH Made it home safe, thanks.
One of his best friends just said Russos a product of generational trauma and mental illness...which makes all of this that much darker and hilarious
do you have a link for that?
@@TroystonB th-cam.com/video/uGkE20J2KGs/w-d-xo.html
Im interested in the source as well.
I’m crying laughing at every time Jim says “Capitals” lmaoooo 😂😂😂😂😂😂
But he's not saying "Capitols"
I'm getting annoyed just listening to it I can imagine having to read it every week for years
Holy sh*t!!! That part about Beaver Cleavage and his mom distracting the opponent was funny f*ck. 8:03
Russo has become a caricature of himself, a full on parody bro.
He was always a living caricature
A hat on a hat, if you will.
@@robdimambro1674 an absolute nightmare for a milliner.
If you're having a pfffft holiday, use this for a drinking game. Every time Jim says 'capitals' take a shot. Within 2 mins you'll be sloshed. MERRY CHRISTMAS FAM
8:05 might possibly be the greatest bit in podcast history 😂😂😂
I can't believe Russo still has defenders.
I fell upon his podcast last week. Not only was I sad to see some people I thought were OK appearing on that self-congratulatory shit, but I had great fun looking at Russo trying to flog his paintings. His Ozzy Osbourne painting was hilariously bad.
I don't think Brian has laughed this much on a segment of the show as much as he has done here.
The Virgil segments
Watch the video about Hogan's lies over the years. Brian is laughing throughout almost all of it
I swore Jim actually went to college. Guess the rich kid gimmick worked me.
Brian's laugh had me laughing the entire video 😆
"And in quotation marks he wrote ... heat" - Jim Cornette
Just woke up, and here's a new Russo rant. Today is a good day.
Drunk as hell but no throwing up, half way home and pager still blowing up
One of the best clips you have both done. This is gold. 😂
"YOU ARE LOSS," said loaf of unbaked dough Vince Russo. "not mine!"
8:08 bro is the funniest thing ever said bro 💀💀
I remember Chaz. He had the shorts with a big smiley face, grew his hair out a bit and did a variation of the Burning Hammer- one of my all time favorite finishers.
I was cracking up during this part of the drive thru. I just clicked in here to give it a like.
I would pay good money just to listen to jim and Brian try to read one of Russos books
" Well you thought I was licking her carpet, I actually hit you with a dropkick!!!"
OMG IM DEAD!!!!!
I enjoyed the part where Corny said CAPITOLS (capitols)
Spelling it that way makes it sound more like we're critiquing Jericho's wife :D
Hit you with a drop kick… (howling) 😂
I've been behind on the podcasts because of IRL events. I just got to this today for the first time. And just like everyone else. The quote about carpeting eating into a drop kick almost put me in an early grave. I was hysterical and in tears for a bit.
8:10 is one of the funniest things I've heard.
Beaver Cleavage was possibly the worst gimmick in wrestling history.
Vince Russo is like a real life South Park character
Jim hit it on the head. Russo thought he was wrestling’s Howard Stern.
Dude they need to read these as often as they come out
Gold
8:07 absolutely biblical level wit there by Jim.
Bro! I'm glad I was part of the reason this whole gimmick didn't get over 😂
Hola, care to share any insights?
Cornette is a god damn treasure...CAPITALS
“If you’re afraid of being afraid then, that’s a double negative that means that you actually are really gay” 😂🤣💀
I didn’t drink milk for months after I saw the Beaver Cleavage vignettes 😂
Cornettes wittiness is so damn quick it's scary
I’d genuinely love to watch a debate between cornette and David Mitchell. The quickest minds I’ve seen.
