Absolutely; but they are so stuck up their own arses and wanting to play boss Cody; Omega and the young Fucks !! They have no idea really; and just interested in getting themselves over
Not really, they just have a specific idea of what they want to do and it's not what Cornette thinks they should do. I'm not sure either is "right" or "wrong" so much as it is a case of two entirely different concepts.
I dont understand why Brandi is in the ring. Shes absolute shit and shouldn't be on PPV when you have both Kongs, Baker, Nyla Rose, Allie, Leva Bates, (sans her dumbass gimmick) and the other Japanese chicks.
Wow Jim Cornette directly spoke to someone like me I wanna give Wrestling again but yeah MJF I wanted more top of the card. Page match was too long I kinda dozed off and the Rhodes match was long and a bit confusing great matches both Luchasaraus I like allot but damn I just wanna watch highlights bc the matches too long
I would have done Spears/MJF vs Allin/Havoc, that way you have the story of the two heels who dislike each other on one team and the story of the two faces who have beef with them teaming together.
@@clarknapper3933 Or let them go at it solo like he mentioned, so people can actually see who's who and what they're about versus being lumped together with another guy, in another tag match.
Only if 2 matches or lots of time was cut from some of the other matches. Because two more matches woulda added at least a half hour more to the show. Unless you want 2 under 10 min. Matches
Khan, Cody, and the Bucks are confirmed as the main bookers. Omega is working as an agent and works mostly with the females/scouting for joshi wrestlers.
Cactus Jack given his combination of inferiority complex and some of the oddball stuff he has done in the past in terms of “matches” I’m Leary of the guy.
Nick Nil I agree! I do want to say it’s a little better than it seems, a lot of what wrestling WAS is an idea in our head. Re watching the majority of old matches it’s just as botched and gimmicky as the new shit. BUUUUT there are those matches that sold us on what that idea of great wrestling is undeniably better! Here’s a cheers to hoping shit gets better my friend!!
Coming back in time to get the AEW coverage from where it began, now a few EPs in. Criticisms aside, there was so much hope in these early EPs about AEW. It's kind of sad to hear knowing how things eventually end up. I look forward to hearing how things sour on a few of the wrestlers that are praised here.
Fight for the fallen wasn't bad but overall the show didn't have nothing that pop out but the lucha brothers and cody, dustin and the bucks that stood out a little. 7/10
I enjoyed it, but I did think it was AEW's worst show yet. Have some balls to tell your people "you're going to lose in 8 minutes instead of 22, deal with it" and you get a lot better show out of it. Their production is getting better and better though, it's going to look really good by the time TV rolls along.
Atlanta to Jacksonville is about 4.5 hours. About 250 miles. Jacksonville is within an hour of the Georgia border. Jacksonville to Savannah is about the same as Jacksonville to Orlando. Hilton Head, SC is closer to Jacksonville than Tampa
the chop/ forearm trading sequence is a call to Japanese matches. their matches build from the wrestlers fighting spirit. to take an opponents chops or forearms is to show that they are strong and their opponents attacks can't or aren't affecting them. seeings how most of these guys work in Japan, its obvious why they build their matches in a similar way as they build them in Japan.
Right but they missed the point of this spot. A certain type of wrestler should be doing these spots. Tough son of a bitch trades with a guy trying to prove himself, tough son of a bitch normally wins. A striking exchange in NJPW happens every match, but Shibata or Ishii or Suzuki are the only ones really telling people to hit them, because they normally want to draw the guys like Okada or Naito into a brawl by insulting their pride as NJPW wrestlers because they know they can tank hits. A brawl they know they'll probably win or at least use to break them down and hit big moves. Okada wont ever point to his chin, occasionally Naito does but normally follows it up by killing the heat with limb work to get a reaction, always with the low dropkick. My point is Page doing it in a throw away match means nothing, it's just something the crowd reacts to. It makes no sense for their characters.
@@UnexpectedDanger your a moron. Jim Cornette is familiar with American Wrestling. He is not a historian of Puro wrestle or Lucha Libre. He only knows American pro wrestling.
We never had to read a magazine to understand Who hated who and who was who in the golden days of Wrestling. The wrestlers told the story with promos or inside the ring
I'm at work, listening to what Jim would have 'metaphorically said' to Tony if Tony were right there. I'm realizing rather too late I should probably have been using headphones. LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Oh cmon Jim, I'm sure you'd love to work for AEW managing the Revival when they eventually leave. The promos on TNT between Cornette and Janela/Havoc/Bucks/Omega would be amazing.
Lol the revival are tag champs they're not going to leave the top promotion on the planet to go work for these clowns they'd actually like to have a job next year
The reason, why Dark Order went over, is because of the storyline they were trying to build with Best Friends. AEW knows what they have in Two Boys and their Dino, hence why they were out in the ring at the end of the show.
Revisit his days in Lucha Underground. He was incredible. Totally scary. No little kids cheering him, just announcers, audience and wrestlers wetting themselves. Now it's catch phrases and glove tosses. A few years ago, Pentagon would have broke her arm.
I was tired of it since i saw his All In match,plus he doesn't even do much,his Double Or Nothing tag team match he did like 2 moves on the whole match
Fandonfest in Louisville that same year was the year I met Jim and got a couple autographed prints from him. The man is a real people person and a true conversationalist.
Hibbington he must not watch NJPW matches, because they don’t have faces and heels (aside from Suzuki Gun). Best matches ever were between Tanahashi and Okada, and neither were heel.
Honestly, Corny wants to watch the same 10 minute match over and over and over again because "thats wrestling" to him. If you stray from the script and do something that has never been done before, you are shitting on the traditions of pro wrestling.
zim1966+ they are during their feud in impact my opinion motor City machine guns carried that feud to me mcmg were the original young bucks but better especially in ring skills wise
@@chrislewis6488 I agree but I will say there is some good stuff too, although i think MJF fighting Shawn Spears makes no sense and why isnt Cody going after him but not the worst show ever. WWE keeps repeating itself is why its boring
During the six man tag all I could think was "here's five wrestlers and a Marilyn Manson fan named Jimmy". Can't take havoc seriously at all and I'm not really impresed even if some people in the UK love him.
To be fair to him he hasn’t been used in his element yet in AEW. He’s known for psycho death matches, which is scarily kind of fitting for that brooding emo “I don’t care if I hurt myself, I like cutting myself to see the blood and feel something” type. In a regular wrestling match under the bright lights, and no light tubes or other crazy weapons though, he just seems lame as fuck. Him & Janella, their gimmick in a regular match needs to be that they’re willing to do shit that the other guy won’t do / experience more pain than their opponent; otherwise they’re just not believable.
@@lamelama22 when you're only really believable when you're doing garbage wrestling that's not too believable to me. Sorry Jinmy I'm just not a fan. And I hope AEW doesn't stoop too low into deathmatch territory either.
Captain Cornette I am shocked amazed and proud that you are gonestly holding true to your word and giving these guys a chance. You even paid them a compliment. For all their faults they have some guys with legitimate talent. Cody has a Great mind for the business and who knows. You said it yourself you underestimated Jericho maybe you are underestimating AEW
Agree but the show didn't pop out as much but it didn't have a bad pre show matches like fyter fest and show that made the show better overall, but the pre show was basic with sunny kiss doing all the work and no one remembers the 6 woman's tag team match more than likely that was pretty good almost.
I discover MLW a couple of months ago and since then every Saturday night am in front of the tv. MLW kind of reminds me of WCW on the late 80s they may not have the big names but so far they are the only ones doing old school wrestling i don't mind the flippy stuff as Jim would say but i don't want to see it in every match
It's a real shame that the egos of the Elite have got in the way of what could have been a great promotion; but it's obvious that none of them really have a clue on how to book matches other than their own !!! Jim Cornette is absolutely spot on !!! Tony Khan has to hire Jim Cornette !!! MLW is so good because of him !!! It's a catastrophe; Jim !!! AEW needs
@@adriancarlos9155 Yup I'm calling it now All Out Adam Page beats Jericho and the first tv show the Young Bucks win the tag titles and for that I hope AEW fails
Ok, if and when AEW trim the low card mudshow dreck, they will inevitably improve considerably, they do have the tools to go places. Does anyone think that in retrospect, Kenny Omega winning the IWGP Heavyweight Championship was the worst thing that happened to him? His reign was..... underwhelming and it feels like he lost the Aura he had during his feuds with Jericho and Okada.
Anyone that wins it at Dominion has it tough because they don't have a title defence for over 2 months due to the G1 Climax. So that gave him a poor start, then his decision to leave New Japan and go to AEW meant that his reign was cut short and the plans were changed for Tanahashi to win. I don't think it was entirely his fault, but it was definitely a lackluster reign.
@@Time2LevelUp not helped by the choice of opponents for his defences either - Cody? Twice? The irony about him winning it at Dominion is that Okada's 720 day reign began at...Dominion. But point taken about the Dominion thing when you think that Okada had 12 defences during that 720 day reign and yet Tanahashi managed 11 during his 404 day reign way back when.
@@jpmagnus6909 Oh yeah, Cody being involved in two of Kenny's defences was ridiculous. I enjoyed his series with Ishii though. You won't find me arguing that it wasn't a bad title reign, I just don't think it was entirely Kenny's fault. :)
hollywoodliberal1 The whole company is small guys. Moxley, Omega , Page , Cody , Jericho Luchasoraus are the only ppl who are main event size. It’s a real issue. If Cesaro were to come over to AEW when his contract is up he would look like a big guy. Drew McIntyre would be a monster due to his size. Every non WWE promotion has a serious need of big guys.!
Well, Angelico is South African, not American, but I digress. Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus are going to be huge. Absolutely huge. Funny you mentioned Sabian's hair. In his Chris Van Vleet interview the day of the show, he actually said his haircut was done wrong. Love it when you point out the basic stuff, even if it mars things for me moving forward, like the turning your back with theatrics after a failed tackle.
I love being a fan of this podcast and the drive thru. Jim cornette is still one of most entertaining people to do a podcast and so is Brian. I loved to hate him as a manager. But I love to listen to him now. This episode is pure gold
I'm so fkn glad Cornette said this about the Kenny ending speech I was like wtf is this dude trying to say!!! Now u explain it but I didnt even know his catch phrase and the boing shit I get it now I guess but hes just odd n corny to me I dont get it
It was awful and he does seem like a clown. Compare this to Gargano's ending speech at Evolve... such a difference. Omega should just stick to wrestling 8 year old girls and blow up dolls... his microphone work is horrible.
Personally, I found Jungleboy and 'Saurus to be the best thing on the show. Along with Dustin. I found them silly by themselves but pair them up and it's X-Pac & Kane but possibly even better. They both elevate each other and validates their strange gimmicks.
@@adriancarlos9155 Not really. His booking almost ran ROH out of business when they had a loaded roster. He's doing what he's good at, talking about wrestling on a podcast.
Road Story is fucking GOLD, Jim. Really cant believe people skip things just for the review. I just said in a comment, somewhere here, Jim doesnt waste his time on nothing, everything is always worth the wait and listen. You need to make more merchandise!! I need some kind of Jelly Janella Shirt, asap
@@tayojones9460 Lucha Bros are garbage. Flip flops, and no selling, combined with insane amounts of legs slaps. *yawn* Already seen that shit in Lucha Underground.
@@ikill4klondikebars do you hate the tag team or the wrestlers individually? Cause Pentagon Jr is a fucking monster when unleashed into the singles divison.
Me in 2019: It’s not that bad, but I’m sure they’ll get better. JC’s just being himself. Me in 2021, listening to all the PPV reviews again because I’m bored AF: Fuckin’ a, how did I even remotely disagree with him?!
Six man tag is what they do in njpw a lot. Theres a lot of njpw influence on aew. Plus if corny thinks this is the best bucks match, he hasnt seen them in njpw cus they've done this style before and better.
The reason the crowd and announcers were losing steam was because of the HEAT. This event was outdoors on a Very Hot and Humid Florida day. Not making excuses, but I was there and it was tough just sitting there as a spectator, due to the heat.
Corney is not the person to screw over. He is one of the most well known managers ever in wrestling, knows everyone and has shown he is not afraid to go to jail. Lol
Watched the tag team match at extreme rules. Hate to say it but xavier and bryan and the big guy who does the worm would be jobbers on tbs saturday nite circa 1994
I didnt even think about that.in reality that kip vs page going so long degrades Jerico if theyre match doesnt go an hr..well they will hopefully learn from it quick

@@lamelama22 no it’s just when you’re use to calling something by another name you get use to it. P diddy changed his name 3x people always called him p diddy. Snoop dogg changed his name to snoop lion no one called him that. Once you get use to calling someone or something by a name you’re use it and changing the name sounds weird to you so you like calling it by the name you know it by. Samething as jim for the WWF
If aew doesn't listen to cornette every week and steal his ideas their CRAZY!!!
Absolutely; but they are so stuck up their own arses and wanting to play boss Cody; Omega and the young Fucks !! They have no idea really; and just interested in getting themselves over
@@adriancarlos9155 not true..
Sammy` Folden They’ve not proven that sentiment wrong as of yet
Not really, they just have a specific idea of what they want to do and it's not what Cornette thinks they should do. I'm not sure either is "right" or "wrong" so much as it is a case of two entirely different concepts.
I dont understand why Brandi is in the ring. Shes absolute shit and shouldn't be on PPV when you have both Kongs, Baker, Nyla Rose, Allie, Leva Bates, (sans her dumbass gimmick) and the other Japanese chicks.
Somebody please bring a sign to the next AEW taping saying "Jelly Janela" on it.
Watch the last Being the Elite , you can see why MJF is a star with Marco Stunt
@@jessieb9384 I will book him as a jobber. Nothing more, nothing less.
Wow Jim Cornette directly spoke to someone like me I wanna give Wrestling again but yeah MJF I wanted more top of the card. Page match was too long I kinda dozed off and the Rhodes match was long and a bit confusing great matches both Luchasaraus I like allot but damn I just wanna watch highlights bc the matches too long
Instead of the 6 man tag, I would have had Shawn Spears vs MJF, Sammy Guevara vs Darby Allin, and either Janela vs Havoc or leave them off altogether
I would have done Spears/MJF vs Allin/Havoc, that way you have the story of the two heels who dislike each other on one team and the story of the two faces who have beef with them teaming together.
@@clarknapper3933 Or let them go at it solo like he mentioned, so people can actually see who's who and what they're about versus being lumped together with another guy, in another tag match.
Great Cornholio Those are matches to have down line, it's so early you guys don't realize with proper build they can be greater

2:00:40 Jim Cornette on AEW Confirmed!
Coming back in time to get the AEW coverage from where it began, now a few EPs in. Criticisms aside, there was so much hope in these early EPs about AEW. It's kind of sad to hear knowing how things eventually end up. I look forward to hearing how things sour on a few of the wrestlers that are praised here.

A Boy and his Dinosaur were the highlight of the show

I enjoyed it, but I did think it was AEW's worst show yet. Have some balls to tell your people "you're going to lose in 8 minutes instead of 22, deal with it" and you get a lot better show out of it.
Their production is getting better and better though, it's going to look really good by the time TV rolls along.

Lol I’ve been waiting for this. Jelly Janella 🤣🤣 the puppet master does it again.
the chop/ forearm trading sequence is a call to Japanese matches. their matches build from the wrestlers fighting spirit. to take an opponents chops or forearms is to show that they are strong and their opponents attacks can't or aren't affecting them. seeings how most of these guys work in Japan, its obvious why they build their matches in a similar way as they build them in Japan.
But they do that in WWE as well. Hell almost all promotions do that.
Right but they missed the point of this spot. A certain type of wrestler should be doing these spots. Tough son of a bitch trades with a guy trying to prove himself, tough son of a bitch normally wins. A striking exchange in NJPW happens every match, but Shibata or Ishii or Suzuki are the only ones really telling people to hit them, because they normally want to draw the guys like Okada or Naito into a brawl by insulting their pride as NJPW wrestlers because they know they can tank hits. A brawl they know they'll probably win or at least use to break them down and hit big moves.
Okada wont ever point to his chin, occasionally Naito does but normally follows it up by killing the heat with limb work to get a reaction, always with the low dropkick. My point is Page doing it in a throw away match means nothing, it's just something the crowd reacts to. It makes no sense for their characters.
It's amazing how little jim cornette knows about wrestling and the history of it
@@UnexpectedDanger your a moron. Jim Cornette is familiar with American Wrestling. He is not a historian of Puro wrestle or Lucha Libre. He only knows American pro wrestling.
We never had to read a magazine to understand Who hated who and who was who in the golden days of Wrestling.
The wrestlers told the story with promos or inside the ring
I'm at work, listening to what Jim would have 'metaphorically said' to Tony if Tony were right there. I'm realizing rather too late I should probably have been using headphones. LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Oh cmon Jim, I'm sure you'd love to work for AEW managing the Revival when they eventually leave. The promos on TNT between Cornette and Janela/Havoc/Bucks/Omega would be amazing.

Move now officially renamed to "Wingy Dingy Thingy".
The reason, why Dark Order went over, is because of the storyline they were trying to build with Best Friends. AEW knows what they have in Two Boys and their Dino, hence why they were out in the ring at the end of the show.
I like the Dark Order. The gimmick is awesome
Pentagon does that glove shit in every match, It's getting old now
Pentagon's entire shtick is old. Today's indie promotions are booking him like WWE booked Hunter in the early 2000's.
Revisit his days in Lucha Underground. He was incredible. Totally scary. No little kids cheering him, just announcers, audience and wrestlers wetting themselves.
Now it's catch phrases and glove tosses.
A few years ago, Pentagon would have broke her arm.
I miss Lucha pentagon. Fr fr
Yes! Bring on Pentagon Dark!
I was tired of it since i saw his All In match,plus he doesn't even do much,his Double Or Nothing tag team match he did like 2 moves on the whole match
1 year later and the fan boy travel story in the beginning is still one of the funniest stories told. Terribly cruel, but funny when Corny tells it.
Angelico & Jack Evans were a tag team in AAA in Mexico
Fandonfest in Louisville that same year was the year I met Jim and got a couple autographed prints from him. The man is a real people person and a true conversationalist.
Dave's not here sounds like Cheech and Chong
The Librarian is one of the worst gimmicks in Wrestling and needs to be scrapped immediately.
@What a Maneuver! I don't mind that if she gets rid of the gimmick
That's the idea.... pay attention. It's supposed to be a piss take.
They know it is bad but Khan liked it. Watch BTE.
@@TheForeverRanger
Who cares what khan likes its not about what he likes
The librarian proves that Kenny is a booking genius. It's in the top five topics of AEW, and it's a lnside joke. Brilliant!
-Doesn't like standing exchanges
-Doesn't like 30 minute matches
Cornette definitely would not be a fan of New Japan then.
Hibbington he must not watch NJPW matches, because they don’t have faces and heels (aside from Suzuki Gun). Best matches ever were between Tanahashi and Okada, and neither were heel.
Honestly, Corny wants to watch the same 10 minute match over and over and over again because "thats wrestling" to him. If you stray from the script and do something that has never been done before, you are shitting on the traditions of pro wrestling.
Don't compare this to NJPW. Blasphemy.
@@nathanielbaxter533 Right. NJPW has been consistent since 2012.

Alexis Solano I just left that same comment on the dingweed who did the “AEW review starts at blah-blah” comment
I thought Young Bucks suked when they were on TNA motor city machine guns were way better
zim1966+ they are during their feud in impact my opinion motor City machine guns carried that feud to me mcmg were the original young bucks but better especially in ring skills wise
"He's one of these stupid skateboard f*cks" 😂😂😂
The only flaws I saw on this show was the Pre Show and the Allie vs Brandi Match the rest of the show was ok but thats just my opinion
I thought it was good in spots especially the Omega vs Cima match but they need to let some of the trash out.
@@chrislewis6488 I agree but I will say there is some good stuff too, although i think MJF fighting Shawn Spears makes no sense and why isnt Cody going after him but not the worst show ever. WWE keeps repeating itself is why its boring
I agree friends
Jim's road trip tale, that is some superb storytelling!!!! "You just cost yourself thousands of dollars...."
I thought that headphone plug was going to be for beats by Bolin.
During the six man tag all I could think was "here's five wrestlers and a Marilyn Manson fan named Jimmy". Can't take havoc seriously at all and I'm not really impresed even if some people in the UK love him.
To be fair to him he hasn’t been used in his element yet in AEW. He’s known for psycho death matches, which is scarily kind of fitting for that brooding emo “I don’t care if I hurt myself, I like cutting myself to see the blood and feel something” type. In a regular wrestling match under the bright lights, and no light tubes or other crazy weapons though, he just seems lame as fuck. Him & Janella, their gimmick in a regular match needs to be that they’re willing to do shit that the other guy won’t do / experience more pain than their opponent; otherwise they’re just not believable.
@@lamelama22 when you're only really believable when you're doing garbage wrestling that's not too believable to me. Sorry Jinmy I'm just not a fan. And I hope AEW doesn't stoop too low into deathmatch territory either.
@@Caun-88

@@Caun-88 he actually has a great wrestling background but never fucking uses it
I haven't wrote this yet but R.I.P. to Mrs. Cornette losing her father. Losing a parent is tough.
Captain Cornette I am shocked amazed and proud that you are gonestly holding true to your word and giving these guys a chance. You even paid them a compliment. For all their faults they have some guys with legitimate talent. Cody has a Great mind for the business and who knows. You said it yourself you underestimated Jericho maybe you are underestimating AEW
In my opinion was better than Fyter fest
Agree but the show didn't pop out as much but it didn't have a bad pre show matches like fyter fest and show that made the show better overall, but the pre show was basic with sunny kiss doing all the work and no one remembers the 6 woman's tag team match more than likely that was pretty good almost.
I agree, give 6 out of 10 for Fyer and I solid 8 for FFTF
The latter match between Dynasty and the Heart Foundation waa a great match can't wait for this weekend's show MLW
For me MLW is the best promotion right now; no accident that it got better since JC arrival !!!
I discover MLW a couple of months ago and since then every Saturday night am in front of the tv. MLW kind of reminds me of WCW on the late 80s they may not have the big names but so far they are the only ones doing old school wrestling i don't mind the flippy stuff as Jim would say but i don't want to see it in every match
Mlw is awesome can’t believe I have only just discovered it on you tube. That ladder match was sick.
It's a real shame that the egos of the Elite have got in the way of what could have been a great promotion; but it's obvious that none of them really have a clue on how to book matches other than their own !!!
Jim Cornette is absolutely spot on !!! Tony Khan has to hire Jim Cornette !!! MLW is so good because of him !!!
It's a catastrophe; Jim !!!
AEW needs
@@adriancarlos9155
Yup I'm calling it now All Out Adam Page beats Jericho and the first tv show the Young Bucks win the tag titles and for that I hope AEW fails
Kenny has a wing ding thingy!!!🌚🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🙈
Ok, if and when AEW trim the low card mudshow dreck, they will inevitably improve considerably, they do have the tools to go places.
Does anyone think that in retrospect, Kenny Omega winning the IWGP Heavyweight Championship was the worst thing that happened to him? His reign was..... underwhelming and it feels like he lost the Aura he had during his feuds with Jericho and Okada.
Anyone that wins it at Dominion has it tough because they don't have a title defence for over 2 months due to the G1 Climax. So that gave him a poor start, then his decision to leave New Japan and go to AEW meant that his reign was cut short and the plans were changed for Tanahashi to win. I don't think it was entirely his fault, but it was definitely a lackluster reign.
I think Kenny omega being born was the worst thing to happen to him I know it was the worst thing to happen in the wrestling buissnes
@@Time2LevelUp not helped by the choice of opponents for his defences either - Cody? Twice? The irony about him winning it at Dominion is that Okada's 720 day reign began at...Dominion. But point taken about the Dominion thing when you think that Okada had 12 defences during that 720 day reign and yet Tanahashi managed 11 during his 404 day reign way back when.
And regarding that Okada reign.... I think Kenta Kobashi's GHC reign was better.
@@jpmagnus6909 Oh yeah, Cody being involved in two of Kenny's defences was ridiculous. I enjoyed his series with Ishii though. You won't find me arguing that it wasn't a bad title reign, I just don't think it was entirely Kenny's fault. :)
i think if AEW would add a Jr Heayweight / Cruiserweight division Cornette might chill out about the small guys
hollywoodliberal1
The whole company is small guys.
Moxley, Omega , Page , Cody , Jericho Luchasoraus are the only ppl who are main event size.
It’s a real issue. If Cesaro were to come over to AEW when his contract is up he would look like a big guy.
Drew McIntyre would be a monster due to his size.
Every non WWE promotion has a serious need of big guys.!
This Kenny Olivier has a bright future!
Don't just skip to the review. His travel story is crazy/f*cked up.
Just listened to all of it! Jesus on a tricycle, what the fuck. :D
Well, Angelico is South African, not American, but I digress.
Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus are going to be huge. Absolutely huge.
Funny you mentioned Sabian's hair. In his Chris Van Vleet interview the day of the show, he actually said his haircut was done wrong.
Love it when you point out the basic stuff, even if it mars things for me moving forward, like the turning your back with theatrics after a failed tackle.
I had the same hotel confusion with a cab driver my first time in Nashville, back in the mid '80s.
I love being a fan of this podcast and the drive thru. Jim cornette is still one of most entertaining people to do a podcast and so is Brian. I loved to hate him as a manager. But I love to listen to him now. This episode is pure gold
AEW needs its talent to shake the indy syndrome...when ur doing tv or pay per view there is no need for all 20 or 30 min matches
Cornette putting over the Jurassic Express and Adam Page here seems like a fever dream.
AEW really needs to pay attention to Jim. He tried to warn TNA about their mistakes they didn't listen. Corny is the Nostradamus of Wrestling
This episode was worth the wait. As always keep up the Great work Jim.
I'm so fkn glad Cornette said this about the Kenny ending speech I was like wtf is this dude trying to say!!! Now u explain it but I didnt even know his catch phrase and the boing shit I get it now I guess but hes just odd n corny to me I dont get it
It was awful and he does seem like a clown. Compare this to Gargano's ending speech at Evolve... such a difference. Omega should just stick to wrestling 8 year old girls and blow up dolls... his microphone work is horrible.
they thought the cameras had shut off too
Personally, I found Jungleboy and 'Saurus to be the best thing on the show. Along with Dustin. I found them silly by themselves but pair them up and it's X-Pac & Kane but possibly even better. They both elevate each other and validates their strange gimmicks.
Angélico is South African, trained in Spain that's why his name is Spanish
You guys had made a great point about how almost everybody wrestles in the same style ,using the same moves.
Yeah !!! Everyone flying through the ropes !!!
Adrian Carlos Another thing that I hate is how everyone nowadays is doing the Superkick to the point that it’s meaningless in today’s wrestling .
Jim knows what he’s talking about and I think AEW should hire him.
They need him...
@@adriancarlos9155 Not really. His booking almost ran ROH out of business when they had a loaded roster. He's doing what he's good at, talking about wrestling on a podcast.
He's never run a successful wrestling company
He's a good idea's man but the decision making should never all come down to him. He did good at Vince's side in the late 90's
Road Story is fucking GOLD, Jim. Really cant believe people skip things just for the review. I just said in a comment, somewhere here, Jim doesnt waste his time on nothing, everything is always worth the wait and listen.
You need to make more merchandise!! I need some kind of Jelly Janella Shirt, asap
