By that logic Kevin Dunn isn't a "baseball fan", he's part of the "MLB universe".
LMA😂
Hes a part of theBugs Bunny cosplay fanclub-what a loser.
Its not football its the fifa universe
@@jetblack81 well that's actually true cause without FIFA there is no football.
Should just call it rounders and call Football gridiron football
2008: Less is more, use rhetoric to let the fans figure things out.
2020: Raw is three hours long and full of replays reminding you of things you just saw five minutes ago.
On the bright side, at least the WWE doesn't have to worry about anyone using the word "interesting" to describe their shows.
2008 Raw was pretty trash as well
evrbody you forgot 1999
@randy K15
No actually it was still good till about 2006. After that when Angle, Heyman and a couple others left, it started going down the shitter. Once John Cena began his unbearable reign which for no fucking reason lasted for over a year, that was the end of all kinds of sense, logic and quality.
It wasn't until 2011 and the Summer of Punk that we could call it good again. But even that they screwed up after 2 great months. So yeah.
Don't let nostalgia fool you. People will let nostalgia cloud themselves over anything. 10 years from now that Rollins vs Fiend hiac match will be called "epic". I know how this works lmao.
@@AxeDharme it wasn't even Cenas run that killed it for me, It was JBL. Felt like it lasted years
The company is called World WRESTLING Entertainment and their largest pay per view is called Wrestlemania. Yet, they can't use the world "wrestling". Wtf is that shit?
The world's biggest non problem
Notice its rarely spelled out anymore. Its just WWE, only the letters. Much like KFC or EA (Electronic Arts). The letters are the Brand. They dont stand for anything anymore. Or at least that is what they want you to think.
A huge world title match main event at this years Sportsentertainmentmania!

Vince's personal #1 banned word: Retirement
good god thats the truth. Just look at Wrestlemania this past month. A won-out Goldberg putting on a
You've hit the nail on the head here. All this high-handed tinkering with the etiquette of semantics is the behaviour of a managing director painfully avoiding the issue that his lawns need mowing.
Vince don’t believe in retirement 😂😂😂😂
Zach F According to him on the last ride documentary, that was takers last ride
guess what...
Always found it funny that the word “wrestling” couldn’t be used when their biggest event of the year was called “wrestle” mania. Lmao. Shocked he didn’t rename it to just Mania
Rob Miljus I also hate when they point it’s so retarded and hokey
sportsentertainmentmania
Or wwemania.....its retarded
Van Zammerz Right
Even more hilarious when you remember that almost all their shows had the word wrestling in it. Wrestling Challenge, All American Wrestling and PrimeTime Wrestling.
Literally every wrestler is a Superstar. If everyone is a superstar then no one is.
The women aren't
I have said the same thing for years.
@@josiahsterling7308 Actually they are. They removed the word "women" from the women's title and they no longer say diva.
I think the idea is all of THEIR roster are superstars implying that no one else is.
The irony is that none of them are! Hulk Hogan was, Austin and Rock were. Nowadays most of them are barely recognisable to the average person.
"Don't say interesting!" Oh don't worry Vince, when it comes to WWE I'm sure nobody's saying that anymore.

Yep pretty much 👌👌
Lol solid joke. 10/10

Totally got Kevin's teeth confused with the pause button, that's hilarious 😂
Have you been examined
Me too omg 😂😂😂😂
"Entertainer" just makes them sound fake. For god sake, call them athletes, fighters, contenders...
Grappler works
Now you getting it..
I disagree. Want to entertain about it? I will entertain you anytime, any place!
I concur with grappler , and would also like to throw the word pugulist in the ring , if I may

MANTAUR PAL
Vince is fascinating in that his entire fortune and legacy is based on an industry he clearly hates.
j114 out of touch more like it
Lee J. Green is agree with that. I don’t think he hates wrestling, just much more that now there are not any real real top name wrestlers about anymore, he just doesn’t know what to do to get the best out of them.
j114 I can actually understand wanting to differentiate and get away from wrastlin, they just went way too far with it. Vince it’s world Wrestling Federation and your premier event is WRESTLEmania.
The irony is that it's irrelevant now. He, and WWE ARE wrestling. Like it or no, his company is the leader.
Vince is resentful about being unable to break away from his carny roots and being accepted by the mainstream, which is why he's had all those failed non-wrestling ventures.
“They are WRESTLERS, having WRESTLING matches, wearing WRESTLING boots and WRESTLING tights in a WRESTLING ring for a company called the World WRESTLING Federation.. So why the FUCK would we not call them WRESTLERS?”
FINALLY SOMEONE WITH SOME FCKN BRAINS LOL
Imagine Walt Disney reprimanding his employees for using the word "animation."
LOL
I think cartoon would be the banned word here. Animation seems more like sports entertainment.

"Well this is wrestling motherfucker, sit back and let the professionals drive." BEST. QUOTE. EVER.
Yes....this is what I like. A good long video that I can listen to while lying down, exhausted from work. Not sleeping, but relaxing, resting my eyes, listening to a video of a decent length and not having to click on another video for half an hour.
TH-cam does have autoplay. Just a thought.
Damn that sounds so peaceful hope you enjoy it
Until you get hit with an ad and have to get up to press the skip ad button...
I love going to sleep with the soothing sounds of Corny's rants myself ☺️
@@TBrizzle01 Ah but adblock and watch on chrome, not TH-cam apps. All blocked.
I appreciate the fact Jim Cornette respects the wrestling fans' memory and intelligence. The example of Terry Funk is extremely appropriate.
Remember when he said the key to a good con is laying a foundation of truth before you flip it on your mark? That's what he was doing when he said that, ironically.
I love the guy, but he's a conman and very open about it. His new gimmick is this, Jim Cornette: angry wrestling historian podcaster. He will absolutely exaggerate or even outright snow you if he thinks he's putting eyes on the product (the podcast) and butts in the seats (buds in the ears.)
What do you think has changed about his entire profession of lying to people to get them captivated enough they hand over more money to continue being lied to? He said it right to your face in a hundred ways and you still don't believe him, because he's that good.
Did he respect the "real" fans when he waxes on about how you know the money was going to roll in for real if you saw somebody get incensed enough by saying truly terrible things about their home and loved ones to take a swing at a cop trying to get to you, in an effort to defend their home or values, in a situation he helped orchestrate and knew was horse hooey, counting on the target of the con to take it seriously enough he missed his kid's next birthday?
No. He'll say essentially, "I got those people so hard with my lies they left me no choice but to smack a few of them in the face with a horseshoe, even after I had their money." and laugh uproariously about it
If you're not taking Jim with a grain of salt, you're not listening. I'm sure it amuses him the degree to which he can spell out the game to you right to your face and still have you fished in. That sort of thing generally amuses a born grifter.
You are sad

I take it the “Shit Stain” Jim referred to is Vince Russo Lmao.
Anybody loyal to the Jim Cornette talks knows. He doesn't even gotta say his name lol
I thought about it, then New York. It had to be him. After reading and watching what that guy did, and said... I don't agree with Cornette on everything, but I agree on that name.
'In these meetings were Vince, Shane, Prichard, shitstain, and Dunne'
Doesn't take a genius to know shitstain is obviously Russo.
It’s Cornette’s designated name for Russo.
I swear...these Cornette rants are getting me through this lockdown lol.

Yeap allot of WWF loyal Fans that made him rich
well, it isnt really wrestling... is it? some of these guys might have real wrestling backgrounds... but its pretty damn far from actual wrestling.
that’s because Vince and Kevin wanted to be big shot Hollywood Movie Directors most likely
WWE Universe is such a lame term.
yep this term is a complete shit
yeah ill admit even back then it sounded stupid
vince is such a LAME owner.....
I think it's a good reason that everything in WWE sounds so contrived. The branding of absolutely everything makes it all sound unnatural
Definitely is but then again, r&b artists in early 2000's were calling their websites usherworld and all that.
They've probably added "Elite" to the list.

"What is that?! The Entertainer just pulled an international object out from underneath the ring! Boy, this will really hurt the opponent's title opportunity in this contest! The opponent may be taken to a medical facility!"
Later...
"Ladies and gentlemen of the WWE Universe, we have an update for you. The superstar who was earlier taken to a local medical facility is currently in a vegetative state. As you saw earlier, he suffered a terrible attack out at the ringside area. Medical personnel are currently treating this superstar, and we'll give an update as soon as we hear anything."
Renee Young: "Wow. That's something."
@@TheSBleeder The amount of times they said "vegetative state" in the 2010 Kane vs Undertaker feud was unbelievable. Just say coma Vince you utter loon.
"I R HUMAN"
Sounds like something you’d here in a WWE Video Game
Kevin Dunn and all those guys sound like complete nightmares.
They are probably the type of guys to say Vince if they heard you disagreeing with one of their ideas to get you fucked
I remember during Bruno Sammartinos hype package for the HOF a few years back, John Cena kept calling him a performer instead of a wrestler, that’s when I really noticed it. Even the old school guys are getting tarnished with the ‘sports entertainer’ tag even though they wrestled years before VKM took over from his dad in the early 80’s.
Is it bad that the moment he said "shitstain" I knew exactly who he was talking about
Nope we ALL know, and hate the fuckface
I'm guessing this individual uses "bro" a lot
@@MikeyMUnited LMAOOOO he’s his own stereotype
He uses "Shitstain" and "Russo" interchangeably.
Literally anyone familiar with Jim knows who shitstain is. You arent special in that regard kiddo. Its a well known thing
Why is Vince so hung up on banning the word “Wrestling?” I’ve heard this about him so many times and never understood his hatred for the word.
I think I know. WCW was wrestling, ROH, NJPW, now AEW. To him, anyone in his company is above those promotions. Anything they did there means nothing. To him personally just how well a side suplex is executed, or a half crab after means zero. It's about "Can you smelllll, what the Rock is cooking." Nothing else matters. Anything that ties it to the actual sport to him makes it too slow. Compare that to the young lions in NJPW. Just watch it once. Any young lion, any decade. They all got big after, but all started the same way. 1980s pro wrestling drilled into them. Basic pro wrestling. Nothing flashy and fancy yet. To me, AEW needed to emulate it in the U.S. as much as possible. They won't beat the trash by being worse trash. They need to be a clear alternative. The name itself was a horrible idea. You almost knew who was going to be the show. It's not too late though, they need to rethink some things that's all.
@@dodesskiy1 Exactly! I also feel like AEW feels too similar to WWE in terms of their presentation and even writing. When I first heard about the company I thought and hoped it would be different, but it wasn't. I also think another reason why Vince dislikes the term "wrestling" is that he sees himself as the Walt Disney of wrestling. And has always sought to have his company seen as more than just a wrestling company and instead an entire entertainment giant similar to a Disney.
When Corny said Kevin Dunn doesn’t like associating WWE with sports, it made me wonder how much it irked Dunn when Jerry Lawler compared CM Punk’s crowd reaction at MitB 2011 to the Bears playing the Super Bowl in Chicago.
“I am a wrestling fan” sounds like a good shirt idea
Vinnie Mac be like: "I am a sports entertainment fan"

*Prichard

randy K15 it’s subjective, but wrestling is not for me anymore. That’s okay though.
Cornette knows, and I don't know why he won't come out and just say it, the reason for all of this is Vince getting around paying insurance and setting up retirement plans and benefits for the athletes. If it's classified as a professional sport then it falls under the regulations that come with it. It's the reason Vince came out and told the public things were scripted (read as fake) and wants it to be called sports entertainment instead of pro wrestling.
Marc Carran actually he’s right. The main reason Vince put out the now famous “sports entertainment” ad was so he wouldn’t have to deal with the athletic commission and save money.
Marc Carran no, it was 100% about saving money.
Marc Carran I deleted my very first comment where I agreed with you, because I looked up some info on it. Before Vince did the ‘sports entertainment’ ad, the athletic commission was treating WWF and their wrestlers as real sports and competitors, even tho they knew full-well that everything was predetermined. But the commission was making a lot of money off WWF, and the commission wasn’t going to go out of their way to un-fill their pockets. So Vince got tired of having to go through them every time he had a show, so he came out and said it’s entertainment. What other reason would Vince have to go on tv and say, ‘hey this is all fake.’? There’s no other reason to do so, everybody knew it wasn’t real. There was no need at all to announce this....unless, you’re tired of dealing with the athletic commission treating everyone of your events as a real UFC fight.
@Marc CarranHe's right as far as how it was treated by athletic commissions. Since the whole concept was that it was real and all of the talent followed kayfabe and protected the business, the commission kind of went along with it and treated it as just what they were saying it was...a legit sport. Therefore, they had to follow commission rules and pay whatever and so on and so forth. Back then, it was a price willingly paid by promoters in order to further protect the business. If anyone said it was fake, they could claim they were legit because of things such as the commission being up their ass. Also, the commission from each state most likely went along with it because it was free money. What were the promoters going to do back then, claim it was all fixed and potentially ruin their very business? So, in a way, the commission were kind of extorting money out of the promoters! Vince finally had the balls/brains/whatever to say "Screw this, we're not going by your rules and being subject to your fines, etc" and came clean about the business. At that time I think people were on to it enough so it wasn't as big of a deal compared to if he had done it a few years earlier. I think you're confusing what Vince did to the commissions with Jesse wanting unions.
You can’t call it a professional sport. It’s choreographed with pre determined winners.
10:26 "Our Fans Are Not Wrestling Fans." I think what you meant to say is, "Our Bosses Are Not Wrestling Fans."
Our fans....both of them.

@@darrengordon-hill lol true. The whole reason Professional Wrestling was dressed up the way it is now was because legitimate professional wrestling (submission wrestling) doesn't put butts in the seats.

"shot" is strange. One of the most iconic promos in history....
"...and when I get the shot you're looking at the next WWF champion...and That's The Bottom Line, 'Cause Stone Cold Said So!"
Everything that Vince thinks makes his product "better", is what's making his ratings plummet. Why can't he put these two things together? 🤔
Early stages of dementia
It's not that he cant, its that he genuinely doesnt care what the fans want. Because he knows it doesnt matter, he will make a profit regardless
I'm surprised Kevin Dunn didn't say nobody knows who Sting is.
How has no one popped him in those fucking ridiculous looking buck teeth that he has yet. What a jackass.
The entire planet knows who Sting is. One of the biggest singers/composers in the UK. Plus, he was in Dune and other films. And in the TNA Hall of Fame....
Kevin Dunn looks like Peter Pettigrew from Harry Potter.
Also Vince carrying on Wrestlemania is like that Simpsons episode where Krusty desperately finds an abandoned network station to broadcast a show in a shed room.

Can't say performance but Wrestlemania is coming from a building literally named the Performance Center.
They say performing all the time, they don't use terms like "fighting"
Ok, I can understand the PC, many sports would have some facilities focused on improving peformance
Byron Kennedy if the talent will fly there, they can't get wrestlers there for empty arena house shows at the moment.
PerformanceMania!
WRESTLEmania lmfao
This is why I prefer Mid-south Wrestling to the what is now known as The World Wipeout Era of Vince McMurderer
So even jobbers are considered superstars according to Vince smh

Cornette proves a point I have said for years. WWE is thinks the fans are so stupid because they think no one watches any other promotions. WWE actually thought no one was going to know who Terry Funk was? smh.
I have too agree with Jim on this. It's fucking ass backwards too call yourself World Wrestling Entertainment. And yes the very talent can't be called "wrestlers" but rather are "sports entertainers". Just ridiculous and i wouldn't doubt that Vince Sr. is doing 20 million revolutions in his grave over that one thing. Vince has "watered down" what his company truly is for years and its a shame and a slap in the face too the workers/boys. Many of them who used too work in the "territories" and now have to adapt too something they aren't familiar with. And goes against everything they trained too be...!!!
Don’t say Coronavirus Pal! Just don’t say anything at all! WWE Superstars never get Sick!

You'll be charged with racism if you mention "Wuhaun Flu." Nevermind the virus was called that back in December & January. I say "Wuhaun Virus" to my Chinese co-workers who work in virology R&D and no one bats an eye since they called it that themselves.

5:32 I can literally imagine that meme of the corpo meeting and Jim ending up being thrown out of the window when he suggested "wrestler" lol
Vince must be clueless because all my friends that mention it to me, or see me watching it or something, to the non-fan, they refer to it as wrestling.

As somebody that went through the killer kowalski wrestling school and is a Boston native I hate wrestling today. I wrestled in the indies in the late 80's early 90's and back then we loved what we did wrestling was a sport and we damn well will never forget the free birds or the funker.
But wrestling wasn’t a sport. Bottom line…. It’s a tv show with buff actors
FUNNY....I WAS NEVER A JIM FAN UNTIL THESE PODCAST.... HE'S ACTUALLY THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS. SUBSCRIBED
How does he remember all this shit!? Even the dates and times and what he ate for lunch ... 👀🤣
Don't say performance but they have a Performance Center. Don't say business but Triple Haitch said it all the time. Don't say war except when Raw used to be war. Micro managing at it's worst.
The banned list came *after* Raw is war and shit like that 🤦♂️ you cant go back in time and ban a word from use if it wasnt banned at the time. Good lord kiddo, it aint hard to figure that part out lol
@@JackTheripper911 Hey kiddo, how about you learn to read? I clearly point that out.
@@Lord_Bibulous "dont say war except when raw use to br war" implies they should retroactively go back and ban that word kiddo... 🤡 good job, try learning what implication means in the English language before telling someone they can't read 🤡 nice.
@@JackTheripper911 In no way does my comment say they should "retroactively" ban the word. If you were stupid enough to think that, that's a *YOU* problem.
Other than the obliviousness of how great of a baseball player Pete Rose was (and how much people remember him), this is pretty spot on.
So don’t use sport but you can call them athletes?
The one I hate the most is "championship opportunity " instead of title shot. It drives me nuts.
Some of you may be too young to remember this but Vince started changing terms due to lawsuits. From the steroid trials to the world wildlife federation, he has learned to try to avoid these problems by changing terms. That only accounts for a little over half the terms. The other half definitely seems like has been trying to erase anything to do with professional wrestling.
No no, I watched 1 documentary prior to the WWE thing. No, he was saying it before that, making fun of Ted Turner. That lawsuit was an excuse. I think this is why he was eager to get rid of Bret Heart. That's way too much of a pro wrestler, even the later version. Had to go.
I'm a millennial, and I immediately understood the freebirds and brood comparison: it's what they call that kind of triple threat! They were the hottest "freebirds rules" team since the actual freebirds... That's a great compliment.
Mick Foley mentions in his WWF debut that a fans yelled out "Cactus Jack" fully dressed up as Mankind.
Dunn is an idiot if people aren't going to recognize Terry who formerly wrestled against Ric Flair, and had a damn anime character created from his image.
Wasn’t Jim Ross’s catchphrase business is about to pick up!
Yeah but he used it to emphasize that an ass whooping was to go down
Yes, he said that when things were about to get interesting. Ooops. 🙄
@@_Boobear_ Bah Gawd! You’re absolutely right!
Tell me why I knew exactly who "shitstain" was? I guess that's one of the banned words on the Cornette Drive Thru
Because *anyone* who has listened to cornette knows who he means by shitstain... its not exactly different to understand and doesnt make you some special fan for knowing probably the most basic part of Jims vernacular
Lmao names off names then"and shit stain" was perfect I love you Jim.
Jim “I put a booger on Eric Bischoff’s car one time in Atlanta” Cornette
He admitted to Bischoff to his face that he put a booger on his car. It was on their Table for Three episode on The Network. LOL
Lmfao legend
@@wiscounter I saw that. The looks he got when he said that were even funnier. I like Cornette but him doing that is childish. The fact that he brags about it is even worse. When he told EB at Table for 3, it came off as very childish. Again, Cornette is the man but that whole deal made him look bad in my eyes.
Vince and kevin are freaking out of their mind.
