"and Charlotte's still laying there 'cause she wants to be dead"
This was hilarious and really well done. Wouldn't mind Jim and Brian reacting to matches in real time more often.
who is jim? reveal: its not me (i am AxxL)
😂😂😂
It's got to be frustrating for Charlotte, since she obviously can't wrestle Nia Jax, and she sure as hell can't fight her. Once they put her in the ring, there's nothing she can do except try to get out of her contract.
That proves she sucks, a good wrestler can carry a bum through a match. A great wrestler can make the bum look good. Charlotte isn’t great, she’s an excellent athlete with a good look!
@@northernking4787 nia isnt even a bum
@@northernking4787 well it’s pretty hard to work a match with someone triple your size as a woman.
@@northernking4787 step right up folks and see the amazing moron! Seriously, if you can’t see how good Charlotte is just delete yourself. Has Nia ever had a good match? Not great, not five stars, just simply decent? No one could make Nia look capable. Not even Nia.
@@firemarshal2629 against Alexa bliss during their feud they had a few not 5 star decent matches. I get it, it’s cool to say she sucks and Charlotte is amazing.... it’s just not the truth. Charlotte and Sasha he’ll in the cell was a botch fest, she’s overrated and so are most of the women.
Cornette calling this "like trying to do wrestling moves to a couch" is a perfect encapsulation of a Nia Jax match
pin this comment
No because a couch sells better than Nia.
I seem to recall HBK calling Sid a “big piece of luggage” on commentary with Vince once.
More like trying to wrestle a hippo on a couch.
In this segment he compared Nia to a couch, a fridge and whale "blubbering". 🤣
I’m gonna need a Cornette play by play on the worst match of the week, EVERY week.
Absolutely
But he does review Dynamite every week
@@smarkslowplay3512 yea but it’s different then play by play
just see his raw matches reviews then 😉
Yes! Lol
"Wrestling her is like doing wrestling moves to a couch." I laughed at that one.
Someone needs to lay this audio over the match.
I did. That was 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They gave Nia Jax 12 minutes? There's a big part of the problem right there.
and Charlotte will get attention, so now Nia gets 12 minutes of actual attention instead of the normal "meh" reaction she'd get in 5 minutes against a jobber
considering brock only wrestles two or three minutes
Why does this behemoth still have a job? Familia...
Even 12 seconds would be too much
Corny's live action commentary is so good, it's a damn shame he doesn't do more of it.
He and Brian should do a live watchalong of raw.
“It’s like doing wrestling moves to a waterbed.” 😂😂😂😂
Low key one of Cornys funniest lines I’ve ever heard.
I would like to see Jim and Brian do a concept of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and watch WWE and AEW
Me too.
Same.
Both need to be high, not just b last. Ha.
👍
As a representative of the satellite of love I think doing an mst3k riff style watch along would be great
Charlotte: "Tell Tony I'm in"
"Obviously, Nia Jax standing her ground. Because she's as big as a refrigerator." Ha.
Fat shaming.
@@fredfreeman2515 why? It is like It is.
If you look like a Fridge dont blame others for It. 🤪
This is Not like KO whos is a bit chubby but can work and move. Nia ist just Big and cant Do nothing and is a dangerous worker.
Besides having a Famous Family she has nothing to offer.
@@fredfreeman2515 it’s needed. Put the cookie down!
She’s literally doubled in size since her debut. She’s shaming herself
@@scottthegeneticfreaksteine393 Samoans have an issue with weight that many of them can’t help. It’s not all about what you eat. I mean, unless you eat nothing but lettuce. And fat shaming doesn’t help people lose weight. But I guess it makes people feel superior to others.
The female Mabel strikes again. At least she did not hurt someone this time, at least not physically.
FeMabel?
"I thought it was my job to hurt people" LAWLER (kayfabE)
That’s the best comparison I’ve seen yet.
At least Mabel seemed like a nice guy who unfortunately botches. Nia sounds like a c u next Tuesday who purposefully hurts her opponenets.
She seems like a meaner version of Vader. Like at least Vader tried to not be stiff with Shawn Michaels
when corny said “OH MY GOD” I just knew that was the spot I saw on twitter where nia dropped charlotte on her neck
Actual indie wrestlers were trying to defend that back drop. Ridiculous.
@@TheGhostLad1 exactly, a back drop is literally falling flat on your back, not on the neck.
You can clearly see that she fell on her back 🤦🏾♂️
@@Jayiitee_ She landed high on her shoulder because Nia carelessly over rotated her.
@@TheGhostLad1 I've seen people defending it, & after 25 years of watching wrestling, I'm fine saying I think someone is either a complete idiot or is brand new to wrestling to excuse what Nia did.
If you watch it on x.25 speed on TH-cam you can clearly see when Nia releases her right arm supporting Charlotte's back, but keeps her left hand under Charlotte's knee & EVEN LEANS TO HER RIGHT with Charlotte's knee in her hand, before letting go of Charlotte. When Nia fully releases Charlotte, Charlotte is at like a 70 degree angle towards the mat while Nia has done a complete standing sidebend, with her left arm higher than her head, like she just dumped a full garbage can out. It's actually remarkable that Charlotte didn't somehow get hurt there.
The fact that Nia even still has a job, while SO many other, more talented wrestlers have come and gone, is astounding.
Yes, related to the Rock, but still, she is just the shits.
Tamina as well is completely useless and offers nothing to the business.
@@rickytpb2164 And her father is basically getting the Benoit treatment now, so I can't see why they keep her around.
@@rickytpb2164 beat me to it. Never got any reaction she sux
Nepotism and it will continue with rey son
Name female talent they released that you think are "better"? I'll wait.. please don't give me a bunch of NXT rookies either
this vid was incredible!!! I synced the jim and brians commentary with the match and was just in awe. Please do more vids like this!
I did that too. Had to pause and re sync when the commercials started up on Hulu and then again when the TH-cam ads popped up.
Record it and post it bro
" it's like doing moves to a water bed " - jim cornette
14:53
"They went to a break and.. OH MY GOD"
That was hilarious
20 years from now, some over weight and under talented wrestler will be called the Nia Jax of that generation. On that day the ghost of Plowboy Frazier will finally find rest.
Clicked faster than people changed the channels when it was spoiled that Mick Foley would win the title
You and me both. Easily the most anticipated content in some time.
@@retrokoh And that they made it a real life watch-along was even better!
Sweet lord, I’ve been waiting for this for two days
Nia was protected in her tag team with shayna bazler as well shayna took most of the loses.
I knew when I watched this match after the negative hype that this match wasn’t a shoot - that was wannabe smarks calling it a shoot because they haven’t a clue what a shoot is! Jim just confirmed it - Nia and Charlotte indeed did get pissed at each other but it was just a bad match with breakdowns in communication, but never a shoot fight - no woman would want to shoot fight Nia because unless they have an MMA background, they would more than likely get injured
They almost did but not quite. Charlotte bowed up but then quickly decided she didn't want that problem lol
Everythings a 'shoot' to marks lol.
They get injured trying to wrestle her now, forget fighting her!
@@patrickboian8545 Well, yes, within the logic of the business, thats how its supposed to be.
The get injured in normal matches against her so there would not be any that different.
Nia was rushed through training, and has hurt multiple performers and given multiple pushes she did not deserve because she is related to the Rock.
And to think she was getting over the past 2 weeks by acting like Rikishi like she always should have. 🤣
What? Who acting like rakishi? I didn't see any hip-hop music clothes or dancing
the only way she acts like Rikishi is by doing a headbutt
I synced the match and this up and rewatched the whole thing and Corny had me dying laughing. As torturous it may be to him and Brian, I need more of this!
Torturous to them? Imagine how Charlotte, feels!
Female Goldberg??? "It's like wrestling a Gorilla"
- Bret Hart
More like female Mabel, because Goldberg at least was fast and had some high intensity moves like his spear that looked impressive.
I have been waiting on Jim's response to this since I first saw it on TV. I was not disappointed
"1 2 3 press play now" - Ad hits... Nice timing.
Love it.
Yep 😂😂😂
What a heel move
The ad that I had started with a giant scream. The comedic timing!! 1 2 3 AHHH lol
Vince needs to hire Corny to do color commentary. That was better than anything I heard from WWE in the last 10 years.
If only but Jim cornette would have to follow a script. By the way Nia should be released she's awful
@@Hakeem990 Yeah, allowing him to say whatever he wants is a given. And they should give the Yokozuna treatment to Nia. Send her to a fat farm and then release her when she doesn't lose weight. Then they can say they're firing her for her own good.
I think at this point, JC is more likely to take a job as program director for Tony Kahn.
I laughed every time Jim shouted "Oh My God!"
For him to say that tells you how reckless Nia is.
@@mkind7765 its Charlotte's fault
I agree Papa Shango
normally i mark out when it'd be joey styles shouting this phrase. but with jim. it hits completely different lol
Charlotte and Nia both are privileged because of who they’re related to. Charlotte is way better than Nia though because she can work her ass off, I don’t know why Vince hasn’t locked Nia in the performance center and thrown away the key at this point.
Charlotte may have been born with a foot in the door, but she's done as much for women's wrestling as anyone has in the last 20 years. Nia's biggest contribution was breaking Becky Lynch's nose.
Because The Rock
Because Roman Reins.
Its really that hard to figure it out at this point? Like people need to see Nia murder a wrestler in the ring to see that she is only there because of nepotism?
Ric leaving could really screw Charlotte over though. She just got pinned clean by Nia so that's a sign.
more like nia and tamina. charlotte is a great wrestler. i would say shes a better technical wrestler than her father is
@MAH RULES Keith Lee was sent to the PC to learn how to work as a big man.
Nia Jax did this for the ‘Rock’ … 👀
Austin kept the somao down
My god.... I think Corny and Brian should commentate more matches from this era. Please make this a reality Jim Cornette. IF you do I will 100% buy something from the Cornette Collectibles or whatever the fuck it is.
As much as people think Charlotte gets favored and over pushed, myself included, she is without a doubt one of the few women stars in wrestling and one of the best female wrestlers ever
Can't have stars if other talents don't get pushed.
@@aboriginalson can’t have other stars if those “stars” aren’t talented enough to get over. It’s not Charlottes job get the crowd to give a shit. Nikki ASH was over for about a week but even she couldn’t maintain it and the crowd was literally praising Charlotte when she won the title back. Vince gives them free tv time to shine, not Charlottes fault they’re all dull.
You're right. Charlotte is one of the few female wrestlers that is believable. She's ripped, has talent, and has legacy.
Nia jax makes Ahmed Johnson look like Ricky Steamboat
It pisses me off how wwe straight up doesn't give a fuck about the women Nia hurt
What are you talkin about? You know what conversations are had in WWE offices?
Neither does AEW when it comes to Kris Statlander.
Empty Gee it 's evident by the people hurt and still she is around, use your eyes blindy.. Aint gotta be privy to WWE chats to see they keep excusing her indiscretions when others have been fired for way less.
Injures happen. This was Charlotte's fault
@@csq7871 Charlotte at fault for something blasphemy I say
Vince told Nia to drop Charlotte on her head and shoulders a few times to injure her enough that she can't go to AEW.
*shivers!!*
This could be a recurring thing. Ric or Andrade do something cool outside WWE and Charlotte gets jacked up. By the time her WWE contract ends she's on her way to a cane
and cte. ...I don't think Vince is *that* deranged btw. I just find the point of your comment very entertaining.😆
@@Dick_Valparaiso They did the same thing to Lana. Nia put her through 9 tables then Vince fired her.
@@CornBreadtm1 After going through those tables, Lana then beat Nia Jax and I believe Shayna Baszler in matches on RAW and then entered a tag team with Naomi where the commentary team was starting to praise Lana’s improvement in the ring, so it’s not as black and white as them torturing Lana and then immediately releasing her lol
@@CarloisBuriedAlive That's standard abusive relationship flow. And now she doesn't have a job dude...
"An old fashioned, four finger, stinker." Cracked me up so hard!
Jim "Gaaaawwwwd-damn it's like doing wrestling moves to a f**king waterbed!" 😂😂😂lmfao
This was amazing. So much fun to hear Corny shred it up. 🤣
“Nia jax goes for the big leg drop and Charlotte thank GOD gets outta the way” its 1 am im stoned and crying at this commentary 💀 it would be the best thing hearing this instead of byron saxton😂
I knew I wasn't only one that got high af and listened to this shit! Cornette is fuckin hilarious lol 😆 🤣
Why hasn’t Jim reviewed lawyer vs Enzo in a casket match
If lawler didn’t win that match jim will have a stroke
Not enough demanding entitled comments about it
Cause Charlie in Ballsack, Mississippi hasn't asked for it.
@@redspiralray2880 Damnit, should've said that!
Jim and Brian commentating the match is way better than the Raw broadcast team
Two drunks arguing over the last swig of Thunderbird would be better commentary than WWE broadcast team.
@@Cruising_On_Lake_Havasoma they still make Thunderbird?
@@joshuaDstarks I just Googled it and apparently they do! I only mentioned it because it's the first bum wine that came to mind. And its famous jingle:
What's the word? Thunderbird!
How's it sold? Good and cold!
What's the jive? 'Bird's alive!
What's the price? 30 twice!
I'll easily agree with You @Smiley Raw is just getting worst and worst week by week
@@GforceLEVEL1988 i always think. Nightrain but I'm blaming Guns N Roses
I’ve seen Nia in person. I didn’t think she was that big. If she was walking down the street, you wouldn’t stop and look or anything. But I suppose compared to Bliss, she’s huge.
“Having a wrestling match with a person like this, is like trying to wrestle a couch” might just be one of my favourite quotes from Jim.
Cornette and Brian Last HAVE TO do this live reaction stuff more!!!
I didn't realize how strong Nia was until after the second botched Samoan Drop, when she was walking around the ring carrying Charlotte on her shoulder with arm like she was a 2 year old
Look at most of her matches from the past. She has botched a lot of spots. plus, a few are with Charlotte! But this time, we got 12 minutes of it...
@@Blaklyon0 That powerbomb at the end was wicked 🤕🤕 I've never seen it executed like that.
@@dickflair4538 I swear, bruh.... That was a shitty finish... I had to go back and watch this shit and, reply.... How in the hell is Nia considered a professional?
@@Blaklyon0 It's all about the Bloodline 😂😂. If she wasn't related to The Rock, Usos, Rikshi, and Roman Reigns, she'd probably be out of a job. They did fire Lance Anoia , but Nia is the only realistic looking female monster on the roster.
@@dickflair4538 well... To quote Jim Cornette... "Fuck"
Nia usually gets away with a lot because of her size but because Charlotte is close to her in height a lot came in to the light.
What came to light?
Her size? I feel like she gets away with things because of who she’s related to
@@jackconorria4033 that too,but by her size I mean when she goes against smaller wrestlers it doesn’t look as bad as it does when she goes against someone around her height. She nearly killed Rhea on the same night the “Charlotte incident occurred”
She’s not a safe worker and she adds nothing. She doesn’t get real heat. It’s go home heat because no one respects her work
I'm not watching along but it's hilarious that a commercial hit right as Brian said press play
Nia Jax makes Red Velvet look like Ricky Steamboat
I have been waiting for this ever since that match aired
Jim saying "Knee-a" gets me for some reason
thats how it's spelt dammit
Nothing is more entertaining than expert like Jim watching matches and give professional opinion/commentary on in ring performance
You guys should do more watchalongs!
I’d kill to have Cornette call matches from now on
If this is what Vince wants, he can have it. FULL PASS. Chapter 11 wresting.
this^^^ precisely why I dont watch the new york territory.
14:54 Jim’s reaction to that was exactly the same as the commentators and everyone else who seen that spot who understands how horribly dangerous that was. 😱
They probably mentioned that to her, at least once but, she doesn't listen...
I read somewhere Vince was “red hot” with anger backstage on Monday. And the sad thing is, this match probably wasn’t the reason why. Goes to show how shitty Raw has become.
The rock seems to have more pull in www than hhh cause ain't no way Nia Jax should still be employed
so basically a breakdown in communication along with general sloppiness from Nia. when charlotte hooked nia it didn't look good but i figured either she's trying to regain control of the match and calm down before they went too off the rails.
someone on reddit basically likened nia to mabel. and i haven't seen nia in a while but it looks like she gained significant weight. whichever way, she doesn't seem to know how to use her weight to her advantage and is very clumsy.
@@macadamia12 she's not quite haystacks calhoun yet. but given time..
Amazing. Corny called it live and on mute and he hadn’t seen it before - and did a perfect job.
I hope Jim will also talk about Matt Riddle's comments about Roman Reigns being a major superstar due to his family.
I don't think he is worng though..if he wasn't related to rock..he wouldn't have been on the main roster..
He even said he'd kick his ass in a real fight. Riddle is the best, he should be presented seriously
@@skamatixyoutube9597 ohh..that I am not sure...I haven't seen both in real fight..riddle currently is a joke and now they have dragged Randy into this as well..
@@YA-ke5zg Riddle was a beast in The Ultimate Fighter
@@skamatixyoutube9597 that is Riddle tho. Hes an idiot. Its not a gimmick. Also people give Riddle way too much credit for his actual fighting skills. Fought nobodies and looked average. King of punching at air and getting hit.
11:03 brian's reaction is priceless
Another "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" reference. Awesome!
i'd love to see jim watch 90's clips of some MXC (most extreme elimination challenge) stuff. it's not wrestling, but his humor i can definitely see working somewhere.
Nia Jax and the Rock aren’t really cousins their moms were friends or some shit. She explained it once before so they can get rid of her and should.
LMFAO This Thumbnail is Absolutely Hilarious I Can see Nia Jax As a magician if she quits wrestling and this Match Absolutely sucked
I wonder if they where going for Flair vs Vader at Starcade 93 😂
I actually liked the "F U Anorexic Barbie Doll" choke bomb by Nia. Hahaha
To me... Nia moves like she has really bad knees. So that would limit what you can do in the ring.
She has had ACL surgery on her knee. She was out for a year
@@Christinanadia Yes... I know.
It’s Joseph Fatu. Rikishi’s youngest son.- September 1st 2021
Wwe has *three* Samoans named Joe in wwe 😂
And wrestles just the same
If nia gains more weight, you could call her "big momma nia" all due respect to mabel
"Nia...Uce?..." That fucking killed me.
I can’t believe I’ve gotta go find the match now...
I guess some folks like looking at car wrecks. 😂
Not the first time, Nia has almost killed Charlotte... With ugly matches...
I’m gonna get these two one day, for making me have to pull my car over, because I almost crash from laughing too hard. 🤣🤣🤣
Oh you need to, I have, I loved watching Nai not selling to Charlotte. Then heard Vince told them to go out and do that. Hope that was true. Loved seeing Char getting pissed off while Nia says I didn't feel that.
Same here, about time someone didn't just fall down to whatever Charlotte throws at them. Loved that slapping & fists going at each other
Nia Jax doesn't have the physical charisma to get to the ring let alone actually work in it.
Mr. Last hit this observation right on its head!
Last: "Who is her cousin again?"
😏 Exactly!
They not even blood related
@@-JAVY- try and tell that to everyone else.
This is fucking fantastic. You guys should seriously consider doing more videos like this! I love hearing matches be broken down as you’re watching it.
I like the silent celebrity panel guest. You could add in the celebrity saying "thank you for having me" from some other interview. Or add other clips from the celebrity.
When Jim said "UCE" I died💀😂
I don’t think I could look at Hillbilly Jim the same now after seeing Nia in the Hillbilly Jim overalls😂
It was a shoot: Nia was not working at all in certain segments of the match and tried to hurt Charlotte on purpose… dropping her on head, actually punching her. Charlotte was business the entire match and at least tried to work the actual heat in to the match. Nia was plain out trying to hurt Charlotte at several points of the match. Charlotte was only standing her ground.
At one point Charlotte...was just about to give her...a pure right to nia face....but she stopped before she just hit her 😂🤣😂🤦
I know Jim has has some harsh criticisms of Sasha, but she is the only one who has gotten NUMEROUS quality matches out of Nia. If Jerry Lawler was "the Magician," then Sasha is "the Illusionist." She was able to create the Illusion that Nia Jax actually knew what she was doing in the ring. Wait, is this all Sasha's fault?? 😂😂😂
if charlotte was taught how to properly shoot she could have stretched nia right then and there and put an end to her selfish, reckless attitude
@@mastermoose8390 But Nia is sloooooowwww, easy to dodge.
@@mastermoose8390 exactly. Also this is on national television some I'm sure there is a level of trying not to legit fight someone without attempting to play it off.
@@manuelper Did you not see her 3 piece combo? Charlotte is not that quick to dodge all that.
@@mastermoose8390 so nia is a better fighter because she is fat? is that your logic?
Probably would have been hell to pay backstage. Nia probably would have complained like a baby.
Nia hit her with 3 piece and a biscuit smh lmao...😆🤣😭
Was waiting for this one!
I said this before in a comment. Nia Jax is like the Andre of women's wrestling. She's so big and powerful compared to everyone else, if she wants to stop cooperating there's nothing anyone can do but go along for the ride. She clearly got pissed over something here and stopped working with Flair for a while. Maybe Flair botched something, but Nia clearly didn't want to work for a few minutes.
Vince simply like "walking walls" type guys, he thinks they are standouts, if they can't do more than 2 moves, it's ok, it's like "whatcha gona do, when this brick wall runs on you".
It was so well commented, you feel like you already watched the match just by listening to them
The moment we've all been waiting for
My face is in pain from laughing🤣
"Charlotte is still laying there because she wants to be dead" Lmfao
*Barack Obama, Arnold Schwarzenegger...
*Program subject to change
It's basically a hostage situation. Vince is probably dying to fire Nia. But if he did, The Rock wouldn't be taking Vince's phone calls for a long time. Because at this point, Vince needs the Rock more than Rock needs Vince.
I've never bought this narrative. Of all people The Rock and Reigns have probably got to realize Nia is trash and a dangerous and reckless worker. Keep in mind this (Vince) is the man who has employed Tamina Snuuka for over a decade.
I have to agree. Her sheer size and being related to the Rock is an obvious reason to hire her. However, there is ZERO evidence that Vince couldn't show Rock how dangerous she is and he'd be upset. I'm sure the Rock would put safety of wrestlers over a family member that isn't on the level of others in his prestigious family.
Maybe Vince wants some BIG SWEATY WOMEN to go with his BIG SWEATY MEN….he certainly doesn’t give a f about wrestling, much less the quality of a wrestling match
@@MiniLemmy this isn't the 90s relax. The writing is bad and geared towards kids well on Raw at least. Their wrestlers just being big muscle guys hasn't been a thing for a while. Also It's not like many small guys have brought wrestling back to the mainstream.
Completely made up fantasy
I love Charlotte's eyes in the thumbnail!
*😂 LMAO!*
Wasn’t Nia talking shit to Ronda about being stiff and hurting people 😂 ironic
When you create a world of delusional narcissists, self awareness is the first casualty.
Yup. And she’s been on a streak of injuring people ever since.
Yes.
I believe she was talking about Ronda being stiff in her matches against Alexa. Alexa and Nia being real life friends, Nia was pissed dude to the fa t Alexa is so small you needs to work safer with her in comparison to he other women on the roster.
This is GOLD!!! We need more live commentary of matches!! I was laughing my ass off!!!!
If the writers don’t know how to take advantage of this they should all be fired. You can turn this into gold if done right.
They definitely won't. And if they do, Vince will tear up the script at the last minute, demand a re-write and next week they'll be best friends or some shit.
@@lracseroom8286 exactly smh
"...like trying to do wrestling moves to a couch!" - LOL
