Lawler was like a great musician or poet. He spun poetry with his promos and was a better worker than he gets credit for today. When he was a heel, he could draw massive heat with not only his promos, but by the things he would do. Watch his angle with Chris Champion RIP by the way. It was great. Jerry Lawler absolutely deserves the respect he gets. Love Ya King.
to me, personal issues draw money no matter what era your in
piper proved that
Bill Watts leaving an undisclosed turd in that condo might be the funniest thing I’ve heard in quite a while...I didn’t expect that.
Jerry Jarrett was a true “man of the business” The split, Was a huge risk for him. It could be argued every bit as big as Vince going National.
Notice how Jerry Jarrett and Arn Anderson are never in the same place?
no i don't IDIOT
it took me a second but i got it lol
Yeah...he does look like Arn Anderson with hair..
😆😅😂🤣
ah ha ha
Lawler could have sold heaters to the devil with sweaters in hell.
Bruce pritchard as a apple hanging from McMahon's tree jerry jarrett is the fkn tree that's what bruce doesn't get and if jerry ever ran wwf that rotten fruit behind would have been gone
I would love to hear more about the Bill Watts "hidden turd" story.
LMAO
Everybody from Memphis is the greatest according to Cornette
Larry Masullo they beat the NYC jokers.
Perfectly said!
All I’m saying is he thinks wrestling died with the Memphis territory
Ian Totten How's Memphis wrestling today?
Ian Totten 😂 dumbass
A safe condo building for free???? Sounds like hell corny foh
Jerry Jarret got chose by Vince Machon sr
Vince Sr was dead when jr was going through the steroid trial. It was Vince Jr who choose jarrett
@@mysterytrio3372 I'm talking about in 1984 before Vince McMahon Sr died he took Jerry Jarret vto lookout for his son
Jerry Jarrett's mother cared for his future much like Forrest Gump's mother cared about his education... Christine Jarrett parlayed her sexual relationship with Buddy Fuller into owning a territory, rumor has it that the Stud Stable roots(no pun intended lol) go back to her nickname(The Tennessee Stud) for Buddy....
Hearing Cornette complain about apartment living gave my college years some closure
Prichard calls bullshit on this
I like Cornette, but he has a bit of a blind spot when it comes to the Jarretts. It's understandable considering they gave him his start, but it is what it is.
Bruce is full of shit himself so who knows
Gary Hart's book agrees with the opinion of Pritchard with all due respect to Cornette
I agree with Prichard. There's no way Vince would have let anyone run the WWF except for his people already in place.
Jeffrey Riley yeah thats true but Vince is know to do weird stuff like bring in TV writers instead of bookers you see where that has gotten us
Reigns eventually got to where they hoped he could be. But the stubbornness with him delayed the fans being happy with him. They just so transparently made him the top dog and stuck with that even though fans wanted Daniel Bryan so badly. I remember when he started as a singles wrestler and it was apparent that he’d be the next top guy for the foreseeable future that I was always happy that they kept delaying his ascension to the title for a long while.
Initially he came up short and then when he won the Rumble I was not in love with him wrestling Brock. But when Rollins came out I was stoked because by that point I was just wanted anybody but Roman basically. But I’ve been cool with the heel run albeit I’m ready for a change. After more than two years and beating essentially everybody available I’m down to see someone else win it, ideally Cody. But I’ve enjoyed him a lot more as a heel and letting him be himself versus the force feeding of a hero character that we had for so long.
Jerry Jarrett should have ran WWE. Vince should have paid Jeff Jarrett not to wrestle.
Back then wrestlers had to work in different territories to get better and it took a few years now they work at the place in florida and think they will be ready plus they write everything for them and even the match they had to follow. Plus everybody and their moms are bookers and they know everything
There’s no genuine reason why the PC would be detrimental to getting better versus the territories. You get the same things, namely working in front of audiences and learning how to work in TV. You also get coached by some of the best to ever do it. The perceived issues of the PC are largely misguided to the PC system itself. The perception of it not being a good place to learn is partially because people who do well there don’t have continuation to the main show, so you don’t see a ton of stars come out. If those who came out of NXT Lhasa continuity to the main shows you’d see a higher success rate. The other issue with the perception of the territories is the idea that everybody was can’t miss. People remember the guys who became big stars and decide that it means the territories were way better. But in reality the stars compared to the plethora of people in the territories were still rare to emerge. The small amount of stats to emerge is just much more noticeable when they all come from one place versus assorted around the county in various small promotions.
@@Matt-cr4vv do you know that stone cold taker jack and so many more when the wwe was st it's last great run all those guys started in territory and it took at least 5 yo 8 years for them to get an idea how to work in a ring or fo interviews. Since then it's garbage. And nxt and the Florida camp has done nothing to produce stars. Now we have cookie cutter wrestlers who all look alike. And it's terrible Jim Cornette was the last of great teachers to make decent wrestlers Cena, Brock, Kane, and Orton. Now what does wwe have? A guy who has taken 6 years znd pushed down our throats the rocks cousin Roman reins
And now Jeff's in charge of live events.
Randy Hales is an Underappreciated Genius
RIP Jerry Jarrett
Jerry has a mind for the business but unfortunately his son Jeff doesn't
Rondough Howell, Jeff does have a mind for the business, but he just trusts the wrong people. Plus, he made the mistake that bookers like Dusty did in Florida, and booked himself on top.
+eldantethemysterious same thing with Dixie Carter she trusted the wrong people also
Jeff Jarrett has ZERO taste. Just look at the GFW logo... and the GFW name itself for that matter.
Nick Hughes NOTHING WRONG WITH RUSSO, MISUNDERSTOOD
Rondough Howell fake wrestling fans on the internet has a zero mind and opinions about the wrestling business.
Well.....you know(Bruce voice).
Who is Bruce Prichard imitating when he says that phrase?
@@sullyb23511 Jerry Jarrett
I love Bruce Prichard on Jerry Jarrett. No Vince did not want Jarrett to run the company. They just wanted to pick his brain and there wasn't much there. HUH? 😂😂😂
What did he want a trailer to live in? I mean his complaint in the apartment had a couple keys?
Jarrett and Cornette are hillbillies that prefer a shit house over a penthouse
Huhhhh?
ahhahahahahhahahahhaha!
I don't know!
I'm lost.
Chicken Salad...
well, you know
Huh?
I'm sorry, but if Jerry Jarrett was such a brilliant promoter, how come everybody starved when they worked in this territory? If he's such a great promoter how come he wasn't making enough to at least pay the guys enough today eat more than one meal a day?
Exactly. I remember Heenan saying, nobody went to Memphis to make money - you either started there or went there at the end of your career.
Dutch Mantell proves himself a comic genius with his classic retort to Jerry Jarrett about why Memphis guys weren't even "on food"!😂B.W.
Bruce prichard debunked all of this on his show . Cornette is a biased Jerry Jarrett mark
So why did vince want him?
debunked ? what does bruce know ? other ppl give jerry praise Pritchard was just jealous of the friendship Vince had with Jerry. If you watch Jerry interview with Hannibal he knows his stuff.
Jim keeps living under the fantasy that Vince was going to let Jarrett run the WWF if Vince went to jail. He can't let go believing that the WWF was "that close" to being old Memphis.
Jeffrey Riley so both Jim Cornette and JJ Dillon are both lying and Bruce is right? 😆
Vince goes to jail the WWF does not exist anymore. How would wrestling look after that? It would be interesting to see.
Joseph Kerlegon Jr.: Only if the WWF feels the full wrath of the courts. I have a feeling and it's just a gut one that Vince had taken some surprising and probably illegal steps to see to it that his empire escaped should he go down. For years, there were people that thought Jack Tunney was a legit "president" of the WWF. Who's to say that Jarrett couldn't come out as "principal stockholder" or something and "take control". Remember this was back before the Curtain Call finally killed all pretense so who knows. I do agree- it would've been interesting to see what would've happened had Vince went to jail.
I'm not disagreeing with you. It's just that: Who knows what's gone on behind Vince's door? Say what you will but he's one of the most successful businessmen of the late 20th century. He literally conquered the wrestling world. Maybe it's worse off for it now but he did what he did.
He sure did and I remember seeing it first hand. If Comcast does not offer the WWE a new television contract and he signs an exclusive contract with Facebook, just maybe something may change.
Generally everyone but Bruce Pritchard supports the story. Its why he hates Jarrett so very much.
Linda McMahon would have run the overall business. Jarrett would have supervised the wrestling in terms of shows and TV production.
