Don't forget that John Laurinatis brought us one of the best quotes ever;
"Thank you! Fuck You! Bye!" - Jim Cornette
Left Foot Laurinatis!
Today, WWE said that to "People Power".
Corny is feeling like a million bucks right now after all the bs that John L put him through during the OVW days.
What did he do to cornette? I am new so don't know many things
@@abubakarsiddik3227 He didn't let Jim yell at the wrestler trainees
@@Yoshiinite johnny is that you pal
@@VincentK.McMahon It's a publicly traded company, Jim! 😒 Lmao
Corny started it by turning on the Dynamic Dudes
A top executive can cost the company $1.5 million and still keep his top job, but let some low level employee commit the tiniest infraction and they are fired immediately.
Of course we need some budget cuts to match the 1.5 million :D
Johnny L is Vince's fall guy. So he'll always find some way to bring him back. Cause 1.5 mil every so often is chump change compared to the power Vince wields.
The insanity of not only having him in the company, but giving him the same job, that saw the company get sued for 1.5 million dollars, is breathtaking. Vince McMahon feels completely untouchable, like some mob boss who gets caught a lot but never winds up in jail. True Teflon Don stuff. He's insane.
Yeah but I think him not appearing on SmackDown when the new allegations surfaced is pretty telling. When this story first broke & on a Friday no less, he appeared live on SmackDown to a huge pop. That had to really make him feel untouchable because he went to Raw a few days later too. But now that mew allegations include in ring talent giving him oral & still losing her job he wasn't so quick to appear in front of a live crowd showing his usual defiance. To think there's still a ton more we don't know that's going to come out
@@arlopear7136 keep in mind that he's the one who made the company successful and a national brand, even if he started losing his touch later on, and also that him and his family own a majority of the company's stock (I think over 50%, even)
That aged well
“BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE”
You can hear Jim’s shit-eatin grin 😂
The entire Vince McMahon nda agreement is a future dark side of the ring episode in the making.
They would have to make it a 10 part documentary 🤣🤣🤣
@@j_mad Yes
@@j_mad How things is going it's going to take a Mini Series to explain everything..
Vince McMahon is a complete dark side of the ring season of its own...
@@ravanpee1325 true
if this was a WCW controversy during the WCW vs WWE wars of the 90s Vince McMahon would have a character called The Paralegal on Raw the very next week
don't encourage Vince
That's Vintage Vince McMahon or Vintage Paul Haymen..
He would make the paralegal come to the ring and kiss his ass.
Vintage AEW!
Jim is right about office relationships...often a bad idea since the vast majority of romantic relationships don't last.
"Laurinaitis should start reading the Help Wanted pages" - Jim Cornette
Nah. He can always learn to code.
One of the restaruants my boss owns is hiring
@@mramos1126 that's right.
Codecademy
😂😂 Damn..
I hope Laurinaitis has practiced saying, "Would you like fries with that, sir?", with a fake smile. It could come in VERY handy... ;)
God works in mysterious ways. From teaming with Vince to fight HBK, to dismantling the turnbuckle saving Roman from a Demon, to now forcing Johnny to seek his own future endeavors
God's a Mark -aew fan boys
"If you don't got fired, get it. And if ya don't get it, clear your desk out."
I'll always remember him as Flag bearer for the Sheepherders
i forgot about that! LOL thanks
@@eatpigsnot Apparently somebody has to get paid for being the worst wrestler of all time.
Bloody lovely Johnny Ace!!!!!
Wow. Yes he was.
I thought Jack Victory was the flag barrer?!?!
"I said John Laurinaitis. Tell your fn creative team to be more fn creative and pretend next time. Thank you. Fyou. Bye" - Jim Cornette
What videos that from?
"Laurinaitis? Wasn't he one of The Road Warriors?" had me in stitches.
To be fair though, Road Warrior Animal was one of John Laurinaitis’ brothers!
@@MohammedSameerSayedHussain Yeah, that's the joke.
This downfall couldn't of happened to a greater guy.
This guy cost the company 1.5 million and this still want him around.
Id say Russo and Ed Ferara would have been better candidates for what they did to JR about his bells paulsy but Johnny wouldnt be far behind those two!!!
“Wouldn’t you know who won the 🐱” line cracked me up 😂🤣
He should write a tell all. I’d read it…
If there's one great thing that I love about this current situation in the WWE hierarchy is that Laurinitis is getting what he deserves. After years of him future endeavouring everybody in sight it's karma at its finest.
Johnny Ace is the man who will bring Vince McMahon down. Funny, it seems like everyone around him tried to keep Johnny and Bruce away from Vince. Should have tried harder. Lol
vince isnt going anywhere. he has too much power and control in that company.
@@michaelautrey6641 you seem to confuse owner with the company.
If Vince remains in power, then more shit will follow.
He won’t Johnny ace is the fall guy and Vince will make sure he is taken care of
@@spokenwordillusions5756 vince owns 80% of the voting stock. he isnt going anywhere until he decides to go.
@@michaelautrey6641 Vince is old, he’s done. How many years does he have left you think? How many good years, because by my calculation he has about -10, which means he should’ve stepped down then
will be forever know as john laryngitis
Ol club foot himself
John Laurentitties
Such a beautiful voice with that man.
Personally, I don’t think anything is going to happen to Vince McMahon. Johnny Ace is another story but I don’t see Vince going anywhere unless he decides to.
For Vince the whole world is a work and only he knows its truth. Scary.
There are ways the Vin Man can go down in this scenario. But I believe he's here for the long haul
@@PontFlair Yeah, unless he has done something either illegal or something the board can use to overrule him on, unless he is physically unable, he will likely die as CEO.
Vince could die tomorrow and still pull strings from beyond the grave.
@@mattm7798 if he used WWE money to pay her off, they can use that
Travis outdoes himself once again 😂😂😂😂 I hope CM Punk sees this😂😂😂😂😂
@Pugna. is that what folks said about the art you submitted while I was out?
I don't get it. Why does it matter if CM Punk sees this?
@@MorpheusASmith the only thing I can think of is CM Punk had some feud with him?
@@travisheckel3788 Pretty much. I remember CM Punk making a joke on a episode of Raw one time about John getting his clothes from Men's Wearhouse lol.
We need a Johnny Ace Omnibus and a Kevin Dunn Omnibus
I wonder if the timing of any - if any - of these NDA hush money payments coincide with Vince selling WWE stock here and there over the years.
It's been weird that Nick Khan hasn't been mentioned in this entire scandal despite being a member of the board. His position and power didn't change a bit.
You can just look at that guy and tell he's a snake.
Pretty sus, I smell a Microsoft buying Blizzard situation. And if you noticed Kevin Dunn is “clean” too.
@@paladinslash4721 Or, call me crazy but, maybe they weren't doing lecherous things and paying people off to keep quiet about it?
You know, like most normal people do (or do not in this case)
Well he’s a Khan, he has to be an AEW spy 🕵️♂️
@@paladinslash4721 Kevin Dunn? No woman wants to take a chance on Bucky Beaver going down on them.
"People Power! All my backstabbing and nut-cutting has finally bit me in the ass! Because I finally got future endeavored today by Stephanie McMahon and Nick Khan! People Power!"
They can't pretend or imagine what a guy looks like bald?
“Laurinaitis, wasn’t he a Road Warrior?” 💀
His brother
@@rickd9951 Yes.
😂
John laryngitis
"It wasn't me! It was the wrong one legged man!"
Tommy Lee Jones
"I Don't Care!!!"
Hope everyone is having a good day ☺️
Trash.
I'm just waiting on Stephanie to fire Kevin Dunn. God, I want to see Jim's video of it, when that finally happens!
Hopefully Steph videos it too.
And Bruce
Well, Dunn appears to actually be good at his job. WWE's production has always been top notch. The fact he disagrees with Jim on the nature of pro wrestling isn't a reason to fire him.
He started his downfall after dating Bella’s momma
Supposedly his affair happened while the Bella's mom, his wife, was fighting brain cancer.
Who's the bellas? You mean nikki and brie laurinitus?
Jim Cornette is right, family dinners with Bryan Danielson are gonna be a little weird.
@@northofnashira2575If the affair happened during 2020 then that's when his wife had a brain tumor. All of this was documented on their show total bellas, which you can see clips of on wwe's youtube. The mom's face was drooping and her face was partially paralyzed (on the right side I think).
@@ShawnMcClearn-Yinzer-At-Heart bet Bryan will try everything to avoid eye contact with his step-father-in-law.
I said in the beginning when John Laurinaitis name came up I knew more was going to come up about him..
If Animal was still alive, id love to hear his opinions on this shit
I am starting to think Vince bought just bought in Johnny Ace so he can be his fall guy. That is the reason why he is even back. Gotta admit Vince is a smart old bastard.
Vince looks like he wants to put hot sauce on his Cheerios.
But.. Could be a work
The person I feel sorry in this situation is the Bella Twins’s mother. The heartbreaking feeling of betrayal she must be going through alongside her health issues she had recently
🤣🤣🤣
I still can't believe the Seahawks lost the superbowl
Health issues?
@@TheLibermania The Bella Twins’ mother was fighting brain cancer during Johnny Ace’s X-rated escapades at the office. Not sure if she’s beaten it already but I can’t fathom being in her position.
@@hellfish1413 I can't believe it's not butter.
I’m dying at how every Vince impersonation is just that gravely as fuck voice 😂
Sister’s wedding: 🧟♂️
Laurinaitis downfall: 🤵♂️
His downfall began when he was born John Hodger Laurinaitis
Plot twist, Vince leaks the NDAs so he can be retire his remaining days. He did it for the Rock, he did it for the. People. Nah real shit, I feel like Vince leaked this because there is no easy exit strategy, with this he puts nobody over and goes out like the heel we love him to be.
What UP G!!
😂
...So it's a sensitive era.
But we'll just quote what Pam Anderson would likely have said about this situation:
"You know what you're getting into when you go up to the room. And if you do go, get the job."
In other words...that girl knew exactly what she was doing.
Damn, Pam was spitting facts.
Among other things
John Laurinitis got sacked 3 times and came back.
@@ithinkaboutthings9052 maybe not randy Savage
@@ithinkaboutthings9052 Vince doesn't give a crap about "redemption". It's about controlling people and always having the last word. And who is easier to control than somebody who already knows where they're going when they get fired from WWE: Nowhere.
Who the hell would hire Motoko Baba's boy toy for any position that requires skills - or a functioning brain for that matter. And Mrs. Baba isn't around anymore.
Too bad this didn't happen much sooner so Corny could run OVW in peace & quiet without Johnny Ace being a nuisance.
I guarantee you CM PUNK knew all this when he was doing a promo on Raw about Laurinaitis and how he sucked as a wrestler.
A lot of us fans who didn't even care about Johnny Ace the wrestler, much less John Laurinaitis the executive, knew all about his various "Why does he still have that job." incidents. We didn't even have to look them up, they came to us. An article about Dawn Marie being fired while pregnant here, a picture of a naked wrestler in developmental stink facing another there, WWE ending a deal with another company after an employee threatened to beat the hell out of Laurinaitis down the street, a Briscoes Brothers promo in the next state. I'm sure someone who actually worked with Laurinaitis personally skull runneth over with bullshit. He's legendary, not just in wrestling circles but executive circles in general about just why?
Vince would have been better to just have a brothel nearby with the money that he spent
And how good of a worker was John to bring him back anyway - did he have worse dirt on Vince?
Man what do these women look like for 12 million lol
Christy hemme got 7.5 from Vince
"I've got an illegal paralegal for you pal" .
He needs to apply to wash dishes at Denny's 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome Shoot Today Jim!!😎🐐🐐
I wonder if anybody else is watching this after learning of Laurinaitis's firing recently?
Dynamic Dudes reunion on the indies incoming. Wonder if Jim would consider managing them again.
Like Remo said in Casino “look…why take a chance”
OHOHOHOHO Corny has been waiting a LOOOOOOOOONG-ass time to make this video.
Let's put the same guy that got in trouble before, cost us money and, bad pr... Back in charge of talent relations? Genius...
He’ll have to move back to the City of Sunshine and take up skateboarding again. The Dynamic Dudes were like Lebowski and his bowling ball. Always saw them carrying skateboards, never actually saw them use them.
love the look who won the pony line Jim.
4:08 “Laurinaitis? wasnt he a road warrior?” yeah thats animal johns brother Joe Laurinaitis
It's getting worse now.
why do I have this bad feeling John will wind up doing a podcast soon?
His podcast will be as widespread as dissent within the CCP
Looks like little johnny won't be the head of talent relations any more. It might be a long time before he gets another head job.
Damn that’s some expensive cootchie!!😂🤣
It’s like Vince only knows 3 or 4 people when it comes to high positions in the company. He keeps shuffling and recycling the same few guys
Apparently paralegals also like the cute Gaijin with the dimples. Lol
That was so surprising and not obvious remembering the history of females in the WWE and the executives. And i mean in front of the camera where luckily no one could see it.
"Pipo Power" Era is now officially over. 💔
So years ago John L was hired back after costing the company money? Maybe John has something over Vince.🤔
Wouldn’t you know who won the p••••? That is a hilarious twist of his own catchphrase.
The illegal paralegal getting passed around like currency.
i'm sure vince will give john a golden parachute if to just shut him up and not have him reveal everything.
Good stuff.
0:31.....BOOM goes the Dynamite 💥 🧨
Do you suppose Joe (Animal) knew that his brother was a bad hombre?
What I don't get is that by all accounts Ace is a pretty good agent. Why doesn't WWE just make him an agent? I'm pretty sure men willing to say yes to Vince McMahon aren't that hard to come by. One of them is bound to be a better fit with talent relations.
I come for the art, I stay for the shoot
Why would you invite employees over for a HOT TUB PARTY?????
Lowbrow joke of the day: That John sure loves Vince’s sloppy seconds.
That’s not even a joke that’s a fact of life
He gave her to him like a toy
Get them all out
Vince bruce dunn laurinitus hayes
Its time for change
As long as the people replacing the surnames don't include McMahon or Levesque...
Oh sure. A WWE ran by Bucky Beaver and Nick Kahn, that will sure be an improvement.
@@ValiantWrestling triple h was actually a good booker for nxt but the rest have either lost it or never had it to begin with.
@@paladinslash4721 would you rather see Tony Khan?
Why Hayes he cool
No more John Laryngitis? Oh no.
How do people understand a word John Laurinaitis says?
Aw come on Jim that's a bit harsh, ol' Johnny Ace is skilled enough to at least make egg wrangler.
Sounds like a glorified "ring rat" got up to upper management level.
The Illegal-ParaLegal...
TheMistress of *Professor CHAOS!*
😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂
Vince and johnny
The dynamic pals...PAL
People power running trains...PAL
You meant Bill Clinton right?
Same with Trump. Don’t act like he didn’t party with Epstein and Maxwell as well. The fact Epstein suicided himself under his DOJ is not suspect at all
No, sadly Jim is completely fucked with TDS. Both of these two are. Happily ignore the bleeding obvious to stay in their little echo chamber of absolute waffle. Jim talks a lot of shit for a guy who's afraid to leave his house.
She broke it off !
Lol I love how people defended Ric Flair, Vince McMahon. But not a single person cares about Johnny Ace!
that's just WWE fans in general
Flair & McMahon have actually given us something of use before. The same cannot be said for Johnny Ace.
Johnny Ave got Sid hurt ended his career
@@jeffferrett2237 he was the guy who told Sid to do a rope move. You're right
@@trevorhembrough1290 johnny ace gave us... I tried.
I agree
PEOPLE POWER!!!
Mr. Laryngitis, ol club foot, himself.
I thought, at least according to that Philly crowd back in the day, that Johnny was in a committed relationship with Shane. Maybe not
Why does no one question the paralegals ethics and morals? Ok once but then she has a second fling and more money for paid out?
I wonder if ol Johnny Ace has turned on Vince yet. After all, he knows where are all the bodies are.
Hello first day on Earth? Rich and powerful people think they can get away with anything.
I don't think Johnny is coming back. But I can see Vince coming back.
Just saw Dutch say the exact same things on a different channel
"How is that make any sense??*
Damn son
Gavin says : always knew that Joe could outshine Johnny Walmart and now we have confirmation that is the case, Ohhhhh what a Rush!!!!!

You don't travel very much, aren't well read as you can't even spell his name correctly. 😂
@@carolinasown who gives a crap.
