Santino took it too lightly. Cornette took it too seriously. People calling Santino "a snitch"? No one should get away with assaulting employees. Staying silent will mean it would just keep happening and getting worse.
I mean, yes. In the modern corporate world, 100% true. However, in the "old school" wrestling world, a slap was... let's just say, nothing. It was common to literally beat the shit out of the talent before they even got a job, and things would "get taken care of" if someone stepped out of line, and it was *expected* and how people got taught how to do things. Problem for Cornette is he didn't realize times had changed.
Lmao “staying silent”…as if Corny was some crazy pred, who was constantly abusing wrestlers behind the scenes. Wild how it’s considered so heinous nowadays, when in all actuality, your favorites probably did a helluva lot worse when they were on the come up
I have a lot of respect for Cornette's talent, Cornette as a Human Being is an overgrown child, if one ever hears on his Podcast how this guy almost in his Sixties lives his life, if I am single the rest of my life, I never want to a life live Cornette's, he's lucky, people pay to hear him complain, lol
Cornette is the ultimate basement dweller of professional wrestling, nobody gives a shit about his lame ass manager run, jim corvette is the new "it's still real to me dammit" guy.
I love corny to death, I don’t even watch wrestling anymore and I listen to his podcasts all the time. But I could never work for him lol. And I side with Santino, you can’t just hit people.
This. I completely understand why Corny was mad and he had the right to be, in fact I think he was right to be angry here. But the second he laid his hands on Santino, that was crossing the line, especially because he knew Santino was not allowed to retaliate unless he wanted to be fired and blackballed from the biggest wrestling company in the world
@@hhbenteeWell no, the OP meant more that it's weird how it blends with his own unique 'fake' Santino accent. I grew up in NYC so I've met countless Italian immigrants myself, and they don't sound anything like Santino. Although I'm sure for you, being used to the Canadian side makes it sound less weird to you.
Good on Santino, if I was in his shoes I would've dropped corny right then and there. That was a completely disproportionate response to a small mistake and as far as I'm concerned it's fcking disgusting that He would lay his hands on a father whose with his daughter. Thats a completely childish, scumbag move.
Listen to what he said though. He could've been deported if he had hit Cornnette. Plus he has a daughter and he was trying to build a life in America. He as being mature about it. I respect the fact that he said if Jim wants to talk things out about the incident then he's ok with that but if he tries to humiliate him like that again he may get a return slap. I saw an interview with Boogeyman out of character and he did say Santino is not a cat you want to mess with. He can really fight.
@@gamesmoney1025go back and watch the footage. NO child was sat with him. He would of been deported over more serious shit than a slap to the face that would of gone unnoticed
Santino was alright lol, i skipped his stuff most of the time, but he wasn't completely awful. His spots at the rumble always got a chuckle out of me. He seems like an alright dude and its weird to hear him without the accents
It seems funny hearing him talk without his annoying accent he did with he was the centineo Marella character he seemed like a really good genuine guy though
What people don't understand about why Cornette was so mad is when Cornette stood up the first time to yell at Santino to "get away he's dangerous!", Cornette unexpectedly shit his pants, as in real drizzlin' shits kind of shit. So from then on Cornette was extra mad ! Cornette tells this himself.
@@yourpapapa8438 Cornette is overtly passionate about the business and Santino was an idiot. But cornette has absolutely owned what happened and Marrela was little more than a fucking jobber and a comedy act.
@@yourpapapa8438 if Santino did that then he might have been fired. He was only 2 weeks in to a beginners course at OVW. Instead he played it smart; he ratted on Jim to WWE and they gave him a job so he wouldn't sue. Jim got fired and he went on to make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
Look Jim Corentte is a legend but he was out of order in this instance. The amount of people blindly defending him need to stop drinking the koolaid. It's pathetic.
Santino showed what he can really do as a serious wrestler when I saw his match on Josh Barnett's Bloodsport show. He used his real name Anthony at that show
Ppl will side with Corny bc they like him but Santino is legit in martial arts. I respect him for knowing he could do something but not bc he wanted a job
Cornette lost credibility with me on the video "Cornette books wcw vs wwf Invasion Wrestlemania", with a straight face he booked Undertaker Vs Terry Funk IN 2002! Also instead of Goldberg Vs Austin, He picked Austin Vs Foley ffs. Foley was known as a wwf guy at the time as Mankind. Funk Vs Taker 😂😂

The only problem he made was thinking that Jim is irrelevent because he's old. He has more fans now than he did when he was in the business. He's more popular than the entire AEW program. Unfortunately for people that don't like him he's more relevant now than he's ever been.
@@MASTAHMELO He's more popular talking about wrestling than any show that AEW does. He gets more viewers and listeners than a majority of their weekly programs. So, how is that an exaggeration that he's more popular than the entire AEW roster?
Why would you be an alpha male beating up an old ass man though? Be the better person. And yes Jim has said he would shoot a mfer 😆 he's not an athlete or a fighter...just look at him.
@Is it over yet? Jim talked shit to Santino and said he would smack him again next time he seen him. Santino confronted him. He screamed out for security. Once security surrounded them he started talking shit again. The man is fake. He can't fight.
I love Jim Cornette but for him to slap anybody for some stupid shit like that. Especially when dude is with his daughter. New wrestling sucks but Santino Marella was entertaining.
Santino had his mind right. Even if he got fired though it would have been self-defense. There were witnesses. Cornette was fired because he hit someone else before. He came off the suspension then came after Santino. The trash always takes itself out.
Damn Bro!!!! Santino sounds totally different!!! Consequential thinking, Santino was Smart. Why get into a mess, because J.C. , although LEGENDARY, Should not have put hands on the guy!!!
He should have sold being afraid of boogeyman, that's why Cornette was upset. Even if it was a goofy sell. Like grab a chair and use it to create distance. Cornette takes wrestling way too seriously. It's his entire fucking life. He doesnt have kids, he doesnt have a religion, it's all his life. It's kinda sad. So when u dont show respect he takes it like you kicked his dog. He takes it very personally.
None of that justifies abusing your power and slapping your worker, this aint the middle ages man would that clown cornette be okay if it was his own family members getting abused like that by vince??? would you be okay with your own son being slapped for a mistake?.
Cornette would be a cop or a c.o in a jail if he wasn’t in the wrestling business lmao those kind of people only lash out when they have the authority angle
One thing I do disagree with Santino on is saying Jim is out of touch with Wrestling. But he should not of hit you. Even if he was mad about something else as he has said. I like both so I don't take sides,
@@brianboyd1437Oh I only seen the part someone was taping in the hallway by the elevators. It seemed Marella was genuinely trying to talk to him then. Different convention maybe?
@@brianboyd1437 Why should he, Cornette was scared and calling passers by for support. Should have dragged him outside and let his shirt get pulled above his flopping belly with his face all red and slap the shit out of the loud mouth.
I always felt like if they had dropped the comedy act and turned Santino heel he couldve been maybe world heavyweight champion. The guy could talk and wrestle. It's too bad he got stereotyped as a comedy guy.
Then he'd be a nobody. He moved merch and was recongnizable because of the gimmick. Wrestling isn't about being taken seriously as a wrestler. It's about having a character that draws money.
Imagine if santino beat cornette up after that .. some people need a receipt. And be Able to have a drink afterwards. But cornette is someone who thinks cause he's so mad he can beat the world up
Cornette definitely shouldn't have slapped him but the way he tells it the whole thing was basically because he was pissed at his situation in general. He blew up at the guy over something minor because he hated his work and most everybody around him, seen it happen to a bunch of people at work. Maybe not as far as slapping but for sure seen people massively overreact because the job got to them.
This just sounds like every job gets to Cornette lol. He's taken things too seriously to the point where his intelligence doesn't even present itself even though we all know he's smart. He blew his lid over that Mickey Rourke movie for exposing the business when the business is only the backdrop of the movie. The guy is too shortsighted and too volatile
Props on Santino he did the right thing and didn’t loose his cool and u can tell Vince like him he love his comedy wrestlers or wrestlers that can make him laugh R Truth, Santino and Helms and Santino had a hell of a career in WWE won some titles had a amazing run with Beth that help Beth get some character and more personality aside from being a strong woman they made a cool combo and can’t forget Santino trying to break the Honky Tonky man record and other memorable stuff he’s a cool dude and help his daughter break into the business he’s a stand up guy
Santino wanted to start a fight with Cornette and egged him on but Cornette said it was the wrong time and place as it was a fan convention. They both got told to leave
Cornette would have been in the right up until the slap. Even though Santino had no knowledge of how to act as a fan in that section men sometimes just learn by getting yelled at once in a while, most of us accept that.
it was a combination of johnny ace being a dick to cornette and lying to him, and them forcing the boogeyman character and it going so shit. Also Cornette has a problem with boundarys and usually crosses lines.
Because he wasn't just an audience member he was in the OVW wrestling class there to watch the show and fill seats, the rest of the class sold the Boogyman but Santino was either too dumb, arrogant, or oblivious to realize the rest of the people around him were reacting but he didn't, even with Cornette yelling at him/them from commentary
I like Santino, but I'm not buying this story at all haha. He didn't think about being deported nor his couch. He was a newbie who was shocked since the boss was slapping him, understandably. Then he goes back to his seat and is like, "a situation happened, but nothing major". I'm not buying this story at all. Edit: and making it a point to say he thanked Johnny Ace for being unbiased and Johnny at that moment realizing he's the Cornette guy is such BS haha. Again, I like Santino, but everyone knows he got that gig because of the slaps, not his talent
Santino's story makes sense, he was in a foreign country, new to a wrestling school with connections to the WWE, would you punch Cornette and ruin all that? I wouldn't. About the idea that he got a contract over this incident, he wasn't signed to the WWE until 2 years after Cornette was fired.
His gimmicks were some of the worst for the reputation of Wrestling world wide . Cross dressing and making a fool out of the women’s division, making a mockery of Jake the snakes gimmick . He’s just not good and his gimmick is stereotypical especially since he’s French Canadian
Cornette is passionate and it shows. Am I condoning the fact he slapped Santino? No, but tbh let's face it: only thing i remember Santino for is losing to Jimmy Kimmel's cousin.
Had Jim Cornette been there longer Santino could have been a legitimate force on the card like they changed Batista, but oh well still worked out for him
Santino got that a little bass-ackwards! Cornette is way more relevant than he is, was, or ever will be. If anybody is trying to cling to relevancy it’s you Santino! You’re remembered for being a comedy act while Corny had a hall of fame career in the business and currently has the top wrestling podcast by far
CULTIST HERE: Yeah Jim was having a rough go at it...... This was the totally "wrong place, at the wrong time, in the wrong event, in the wrong company," etc... Cornette's passion is amazing, but you can tell it got him into trouble. He may have gotten off lightly, to be honest... He coulda faced charges, or gotten spanked lol. Look, It's kinda like "YES YOU ARE RIGHT, but at what cost?" Kinda like telling a young kid that Santa is fake before they're ready to hear it, you know? I'm not calling Santino a kid.... I'm just saying that sometimes being right ISN'T the right choice within context. Anyone coulda called on Jim over this. This is just one of those things where it coulda been worse or better than it turned out. But it is what it is, and its over. THE END?????
People keep pointing out Santino has a martial arts background. Cornette is a heel manager from the late 70. I PROMISE he's got a gun somewhere lol. He's threatened to shoot Brock Lesnar, threatened to beat Russo with a bat and tried to KILL Terry Landell by running him over Richie Aprile style lol
Didn't earn his job. WWE gave him a job on the main roster so that he wouldn't sue. Jim Cornette is a clown but this guy didn't earn a spot, it was given to him.
Ehhhhh...... I dont know what to say. I feel bad for him too. Slapping someone's too much, cornette couldve just lectured him or called him an idiot. On the other hand, laughing at the boogeyman when theres 100s of people puttint the effort to make him sell as a serious character was a shit thing to do. Dude you had ONE job... ONE single simple job that night... DON'T laugh at the guy, look scared if anything but atleast dont laugh. Come on...
Everything that I have seen about this incident makes it clear to me that Santino was absolutely in the right here. Cornette is an absolute nut, even if I like his podcast
The fact Cornette spent an hour trying to rationalize physically assaulting a subordinate is insane. Shows how mentally unstable Cornette truly is and it's terrifying.
Controversial Wrestling Shoots, aw man, u beat me to it. I was gonna upload this clip to my channel. Santino's RF Video Shoot Interview was really good cause it shows the real him and his actual voice.
As much as I like corny, he was 100% wrong on this incident. Corny could have explained what he did wrong and asked him that next time sell boogeymans character.
Yeah the guy standing right in front of him, if I remember right Jim even said about going outside with him to take it further but he never did and you ain't gonna tell me at that moment he was afraid of being deported after loosing his job

This just sounds like every job gets to Cornette lol. He's taken things too seriously to the point where his intelligence doesn't even present itself even though we all know he's smart. He blew his lid over that Mickey Rourke movie for exposing the business when the business is only the backdrop of the movie. The guy is too shortsighted and too volatile
Props on Santino he did the right thing and didn’t loose his cool and u can tell Vince like him he love his comedy wrestlers or wrestlers that can make him laugh R Truth, Santino and Helms and Santino had a hell of a career in WWE won some titles had a amazing run with Beth that help Beth get some character and more personality aside from being a strong woman they made a cool combo and can’t forget Santino trying to break the Honky Tonky man record and other memorable stuff he’s a cool dude and help his daughter break into the business he’s a stand up guy
Worst type of comedy
It wasn't too soon after this that Santino and Cornette met at that convention center , I think Cornette got thrown out.
They both got kicked out.
Santino wanted to start a fight with Cornette and egged him on but Cornette said it was the wrong time and place as it was a fan convention. They both got told to leave
@@gregclark3268 aka Jim was a pussy
@@gregclark3268 Cornette was hysterical and scared, not reasonable and above it.
“ it was a job from my EMPLOYER”
Lmao nobody like Jim Cornette 😂😂😂
Jim Cornett has been wrong so many times about some of the greatest stars of the 2000s era there’s a reason Vince dropped his ass
Imagine had Jim Cornette actually trained Santino...
Cornette would have been in the right up until the slap. Even though Santino had no knowledge of how to act as a fan in that section men sometimes just learn by getting yelled at once in a while, most of us accept that.
I initially thought he was wrestling boogeyman and smiling at him inside the ring, but why would you slap an audience member?
Exactly, Cornette was completely out of line and deserved to be let go.
it was a combination of johnny ace being a dick to cornette and lying to him, and them forcing the boogeyman character and it going so shit. Also Cornette has a problem with boundarys and usually crosses lines.
Boogeyman tried to go through a door Santino was in front of, not scared and not moving, during a TV taping. What's hard to understand?
@@SP-rp4lk ok
Because he wasn't just an audience member he was in the OVW wrestling class there to watch the show and fill seats, the rest of the class sold the Boogyman but Santino was either too dumb, arrogant, or oblivious to realize the rest of the people around him were reacting but he didn't, even with Cornette yelling at him/them from commentary
I like Santino, but I'm not buying this story at all haha. He didn't think about being deported nor his couch. He was a newbie who was shocked since the boss was slapping him, understandably. Then he goes back to his seat and is like, "a situation happened, but nothing major". I'm not buying this story at all.
Edit: and making it a point to say he thanked Johnny Ace for being unbiased and Johnny at that moment realizing he's the Cornette guy is such BS haha. Again, I like Santino, but everyone knows he got that gig because of the slaps, not his talent
Santino's story makes sense, he was in a foreign country, new to a wrestling school with connections to the WWE, would you punch Cornette and ruin all that? I wouldn't.
About the idea that he got a contract over this incident, he wasn't signed to the WWE until 2 years after Cornette was fired.
Jim is very careful who he gets "tough" with. Basically anyone he has power over or that isn't there in person.
That couch must’ve been really comfortable
Why would you be worried about getting in trouble to that extreme if you were slapped first?.......
He should've done this interview with the accent.
Should have brought out the Cobra on Cornette
Cornette is lucky he didn't get his butt kicked. But Vince heard about this and pushed Santino hard.
that’s not true lmaoooo
His gimmicks were some of the worst for the reputation of Wrestling world wide . Cross dressing and making a fool out of the women’s division, making a mockery of Jake the snakes gimmick . He’s just not good and his gimmick is stereotypical especially since he’s French Canadian
I thought he was funny. Try not to overthink things.
feels uncomfortable without the accent
Santino got Cornette back a few years ago at that convention. Jim was screaming like a woman for security. So embarrassing.
Where can I get that story? I haven't heard that one yet 😲
@@zufalllx look for it on here.
Didn’t seem like he got him back, he tried to confront Corny I guess, but Jim stood his ground. Don’t see that as a win for Santino.
Cornette didn't scream for security. He got a few bystanders' attention, but he mostly just cussed Santino out. He stood his ground.
@@NukeCaulfield Santino challenged him to slap him again, but Cornette backed off and just screamed for security.
Cornette is passionate and it shows. Am I condoning the fact he slapped Santino? No, but tbh let's face it: only thing i remember Santino for is losing to Jimmy Kimmel's cousin.
Cornette smacked the accent out of his mouth.
Wipe your mouth when you finish
Had Jim Cornette been there longer Santino could have been a legitimate force on the card like they changed Batista, but oh well still worked out for him
Santino worked for WWE longer and made more money than Cornette. Santino won
@@SmithCommaBenjamin what's he doing now?
@@ICHIBAN-cz8ih Doesn't matter. He made more money in 1/10th the time. He won the game.
@@SmithCommaBenjamin Santino is irrelevant whereas Cornette is still over
@@ICHIBAN-cz8ih Still being involved with the fake fighting business is considered an accomplishment?
Dude still doesn't understand that you're supposed to sell for Boogieman.?!
Santino got that a little bass-ackwards!
Cornette is way more relevant than he is, was, or ever will be.
If anybody is trying to cling to relevancy it’s you Santino! You’re remembered for being a comedy act while Corny had a hall of fame career in the business and currently has the top wrestling podcast by far
He tried to say JC is irrelevant 😂😂😂
CULTIST HERE:
Yeah Jim was having a rough go at it...... This was the totally "wrong place, at the wrong time, in the wrong event, in the wrong company," etc...
Cornette's passion is amazing, but you can tell it got him into trouble. He may have gotten off lightly, to be honest... He coulda faced charges, or gotten spanked lol. Look, It's kinda like "YES YOU ARE RIGHT, but at what cost?" Kinda like telling a young kid that Santa is fake before they're ready to hear it, you know? I'm not calling Santino a kid.... I'm just saying that sometimes being right ISN'T the right choice within context.
Anyone coulda called on Jim over this. This is just one of those things where it coulda been worse or better than it turned out.
But it is what it is, and its over. THE END?????
I have so much respect for him
People keep pointing out Santino has a martial arts background.
Cornette is a heel manager from the late 70. I PROMISE he's got a gun somewhere lol. He's threatened to shoot Brock Lesnar, threatened to beat Russo with a bat and tried to KILL Terry Landell by running him over Richie Aprile style lol
Sure, and if he tries to shoot someone he's getting it back sooner or later. What's your point?
@liquidsnake6879 what's YOUR point?
@@liquidsnake6879getting it back? Cops shoot people all the time and seem to be ok…
What Santino wasn’t really from Italy? NO!
Didn't earn his job. WWE gave him a job on the main roster so that he wouldn't sue. Jim Cornette is a clown but this guy didn't earn a spot, it was given to him.
Nah this sound like voiceover LMAOOOO
Aged like fine milk. Jim's more relevant than ever 😂
Yea with his podcast that gets like 20k views on average lmao
Definitely not relevant
@RANDYSAVAGE1412 he's got almost 400K subs and millions of views cumulatively on his videos. Are you ok?
Ehhhhh...... I dont know what to say. I feel bad for him too. Slapping someone's too much, cornette couldve just lectured him or called him an idiot. On the other hand, laughing at the boogeyman when theres 100s of people puttint the effort to make him sell as a serious character was a shit thing to do. Dude you had ONE job... ONE single simple job that night... DON'T laugh at the guy, look scared if anything but atleast dont laugh. Come on...
What we would give for a show with Santino
Jim Cornette ain’t shit 😂😂
“They never told me I was to do facials.”
“I thought they were taking me backstage cause they liked my facials.”
Nice contradiction right there.
No
I was wondering if anyone else would catch that.
He said that halfway through Cornette yelled at him to show some facials so he did after he was called out
He said in this interview that he just got into the intermediate class but said in an interview later that it was his first day. 😂
Kids know who he is. They wish they didn't because they wouldn't have to hear the truth about their shitty flippy flop ballet.
THIS was heavily edited on favor of cornette
He got the freebee
Everything that I have seen about this incident makes it clear to me that Santino was absolutely in the right here.
Cornette is an absolute nut, even if I like his podcast
The fact Cornette spent an hour trying to rationalize physically assaulting a subordinate is insane. Shows how mentally unstable Cornette truly is and it's terrifying.
@@RobHiguera-hx6fd can't laugh at my supernatural worm eater because wrestling is serious business

@@ceck5155 already bitch slapped santino.
Yeah stepped to the side and let Boogeyman knock him out
Everybody love Santino ❤
Fuck no
Atleast he got a job out of it
Santino was a great talent 🫡
Top ovw stars were able to make it with cornette 🤷♂️
As much as I like corny, he was 100% wrong on this incident. Corny could have explained what he did wrong and asked him that next time sell boogeymans character.
He stooged and became a joke.
Cry
Without a doubt in my mind iknow santino would whoop him but come on why he acting like he wasnt afraid in that clip
This guy is the unfunniest wrestler in history.
Jim cornette is lucky santino didnt beat his ass dude is tougher then ppl think
Yeah the guy standing right in front of him, if I remember right Jim even said about going outside with him to take it further but he never did and you ain't gonna tell me at that moment he was afraid of being deported after loosing his job
@@plonkersbro Santino is an MMA fighter lol Cornette would've got his ass handed to him

I miss santino
