“It doesn’t take much to rile Jimmy.” Quite the understatement.
Say what you will about Cornette.. but he is not apparently easily intimidated. He comes from the old school where a heel manager could and frequently did go upside a fans head.
He used his racket a few times on fans jumping the barrier to get at him.
Cornette is and has one of the greatest minds ever in wrestling.
And one of the greatest managers.
He'll be the first one to say he's not a tough guy but the decades of not backing down from anyone says otherwise.
He’ll say he’s not a tough guy, but don’t insult him or the business, because he’ll throw everything he’s got at you.
Corny is the original stone cold lol
If you can stand in a crowd of thousands of people who hated and utterly despised you and would jump the rail at any given time just to kill you, you have the biggest balls in the world. The only things I know that do scare this man are scaffolds and heights.
“Well… I’m gonna have to hospitalize him.”
“Oh corny, don’t do that!”
Yeah now you know why Mark Madden avoided him in that hallway and skipped out when he did.
Is there anything I can do to talk you out of it 😂
:46 that's actually a really good Corney impression 😂
Lol for real. Most people do the high pitched corny “god damn” but corny doesn’t even talk like that all the time.
@@jacailou8604 fast forward to 9:40 th-cam.com/video/KDfhDQmh1Gc/w-d-xo.html
I could totally hear Cornette saying that
0:46
I love JR's Impression of Cornette on a plane
Had a guy tell me that he was going, to get a gun & come back to shoot me.
I said that it would be stupid to just let you go then. Same thing
A drive thru incident like Jericho witnessed? More like an incident Jericho instigated
A drive thru episode like the one Jericho "witnessed"? Hell, he was the biggest instigator behind Corny.
👽
Being the man that set up to Brock Lesnar, I am not entirely surprises by the story lol I love it
“The 5 fingers of Cornette”
I’ve got to contact chopPsaki productions quickly and let them know I’ve got their next big hit kung fu movie.
"Cactus....I can't eat anything grilled"...
Corny both agitated and offended.
What about the time Corny got out and yelled at the drive thru lady 🤣
jim's favorite is the Wendy's triple - extra cheese, extra mayo, pickle, onion and nothing else on it........he used to eat those like popcorn......
*_What did the 5 fingers say to the face?_* 🌽🥅🎾
*Conrad did a pretty good Paul Bearer.*
🤘🐲🤘
Loved the midnight express. Top 5 tag team, hands down
What did the five fingers say to the face?
😀
I don’t have five fingers. I have four.
SLAP!
That was….cold blooded….
Can you imagine 2 grown men doing this? Cocaine’s a helluva drug.
Corny in the thumbnail looking like The Fast Food Fiend. lol
When you coming back to Knoebels Mick best food in pa am I right
Knoebels, no joke, has won the Best Food at the Theme Park Awards or something for like 7-8 straight years. It's nuts. I've heard nothing negative about it. It's not only good but it's really affordable which is awesome.
Side note: Dollywood always finishes in 2nd place lmao. Nothing to be ashamed of it's just hilarious that they can never top Knoebels
Conrad ruins anything he's on. Would of loved a Foley podcast otherwise.
he is horrible
Nash was smart in getting Sean Oliver as his co-host instead of Conman. Wouldn’t surprise me if he refused to do it unless Sean was co-hosting it.
Ah shit is that what this was supposed to be? I saw the FOLEY IS POD a bunch on my feed and never clicked until now. Is it really just Conrad trying another podcast? Lmao.
But who will collect the precious precious money?
@@FreneticZetetic he doesn't show himself on the video feed you just here his voice
Hopefully Conrad gets cancelled someday soon so the wrestling podcast world can move on in unison from his regurgitating drawl. I'm sure Mick has a thousand and one genuinely interesting road stories but his sidekick is so utterly unpalatable that he just ruins the fun.
@@PatKhadgar Don't really understand how coping is relevant, just expressing my dislike of that particular fat fuck. Is "cope harder" the only thing you know how to type? Apart from the obligatory "mommy caught me with her panties xxx" you type into Google image search every night of course.
Wonder whatever happened with that lawsuit?

You got to love the CORNEY!!!! I just wish Jim Coronett was in somebody's promotion!!!!
He would be in AEW if the bucks and omega were gone
I just wish more people in promotions would listen to his critiques and advice. He’s giving free lessons from an experienced professional every week on his podcasts.
I love Foley, but every once and awhile you can see he seems to struggle a little bit with speech and such. It's understandable, of course, but sometimes sad to see
*_It's called being authentic_* *jackass!*
My only issue with Cornette is that for serious, he buries HIMSELF sometimes. A lot of his points are exactly right even for today, but... kind of for the wrong reasons? Like he completely missed Mick's point on why there should be a separate women's show, because his type of style of wrestling is not done by a lot of women (exceptions clearly being Charlotte and Rhea) so he thinks there needs to be less of that on a card. But if he thinks women are too inexperienced with his concept of wrestling then why not give them more matches in front of people to learn how? Just as one example. I am TOTALLY on board with his complaint that wrestling works best when it feels like 'two people are fighting for real, just they're capable of doing some stuff your average bar brawler is not'.
Would love to sub for you mick but unfortunately it's guilt by association that won't ever let that happen.
@@PatKhadgar thanks for that pat on the back really needed it like conrad needs your money.
I can’t believe you made your name Ricky Bobby 420 and used bob marley. I cannot even imagine the stench of your man boobs sitting in your chair sweating all day
Huh?
KFC is from Utah not Kentucky lol
That's debatable. Colonel Sanders first place to sell his chicken was his motel in Corbin Kentucky, which eventually transitioned into more of a restaurant than motel. Utah got the first KFC franchise location, but the location in Corbin still has a sign calling it the first KFC. My grandfather was from Corbin and always referred to it as the first KFC. He and all the Corbin residents took some pride in that.
@@SpockvsEgon Sanders first restaurant was in Corbin, but the first KFC was in south salt lake city Utah.
Nobody gives a flying Walinda about KFC anymore besides you three geeks
@@LouSassoleSledgecock_III KFC has actually become a traditional Christmas dinner in Japan relatively recently.
UFC is MMA, not chicken!
jimmy wouldnt have done half the shit he did without midnight behind him. lucky guy lol
Have you heard some of the confrontations Jim Cornette has been in over the years?
He most definitely would have, no matter who was with him at the time; and if he thought/knew he couldn’t whip the guy in front of him, he’d find himself an equaliser to level up the playing field haha.
Just about everyone that knows him, has said he wasn’t one to back down; his temper didn’t always have his best interests at heart haha.
Having the Midnight Express around was obviously great backup for him; particularly when dealing with fans trying to get to him, either at ringside, or on the way back to the locker room.
@@ThisCharmingMan1984 fat boi jimbo couldnt get wendy to give him a single heart surgery.
Cornette is the toughest guy on Earth when it's a young woman working minimum wage at a drive thru suffering his wrath.
So that's where Mick got his shit takes from.
