Brian went full savage!
"Cross eyed goof."
I'm dead.
I laughed so hard i literally passed out
Fucking scorched earth
I'd rather listen to a 3 hour segment of these two ranting about how bad RAW was than actually sit down and watch RAW
@Jacob Peterson Even the best ‘talker’ can’t elevate a shit script. These people are sent to training centers and made into cardboard cut-outs. If those centers are making them this way something as simple and inane as “just talk better” ain’t applicable, Mr.teammaga.
Minus Brian obviously
The Shawn Michaels sewer rat comment was amazing.
Arnold dlC cross eyed goof.
I almost shat my pants when he said that
jaroncreed Have you ever seen RVD's impression of him? Make sure you're not drinking anything when you do.
@@bigburgerstudios It’s so good. Prolly the best Shawn impression. Shawn prolly woulda been better off if RVD asked him to pick a hand back in the day, might’ve knocked that lazy eye back on track.
I was waiting to hear Cornette's take on this travesty.
Garbage wrestling
Vincent Price and Beatrice Arthur’s love child. Classic
Id like to see Jim review shows like this more often. Raw after mania etc. Enjoyed this.
Agreed
lol he just reviewed wm35
That's funny, I am a new Cornette fan, and going back to listen to older uploads. He's listened to you guys because nowadays he is all about reviewing current shows! And it's regularly more entertaining than the shows themselves hahah
A new Jim Cornette post is like getting a present under the tree at Christmas.
Cornette's idea for Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt to brawl from the Manhattan Center to the Barclays Center was better than anything the WWE writers have come up with in years.
RAW25 was awful so its going to be no surprise if Jim hates it lol
Craig Brainimpact
I'm surprised it has this many comments on it though
"Sewer rat" + "10 strands of hair" + "crossed eyed goof"
He lost me with a lot of the shit he barked at the end but goddamn I lost it at that remark. That was terrific.
Speech 100%
Talking about Michaels no doubt
@@trevorhyde3139 listen to the review, Mister Hyde!
Honest to God, Jim's booking of a 'Big building to small building' or vice versa was actually a stellar idea. Having now heard it, it seems unfathomable that it wasn't done. Jim's idea of using Matt and Bray was a stroke of genius. It could have been a running segment through the night as they slowly go from one end to the other..
It's a stellar idea because it's been booked already. Jim has always taken water from an old old well, he's just the only doing it now so it all seems new.
Pitt Burgh there's a difference between reusing an old idea at the right time and using ideas that someone came up with from a video store
@@fuzzydunlop7928 if it ain't broke, don't fix it
I mean that could have been the best final deletion match. Also that would've been awesome if they had the 24 7 title then
Pitt Burgh Stupid ass take...
interesting to hear this in Jan 2023, where we are on year 30 of Raw and how things have changed and at the same time not
I love the switch between Jim and Brian at the end. Great way to end the review lol.
Brian switched with Jim for this podcast. Corny was mostly calm and cool, and even gave the show some high points, while Brian completely pissed all over it.
"Hey, Harvey Whippleman will fuckin' kick your ass."
I was unimpressed like so many others on RAW25. Thanks for providing this content! Love the channel especially these long podcasts!
Justin McGee They managed to fuck up an Undertaker segment. That's how badly they screwed up.
The undertaker segment is when I finally went “ok this shit is gonna put me to sleep” but definitely agree , the longer content is perfect for my morning drives .
I watched the Stone Cold segment and then switched off
No you didn't.
You saw the only thing worth watching.
no you didn't..
I switched it off after Miz v. Reigns!
Best decision all nite
LMFAO @56:19 - "You cross eyed goof"
6:22-6:35 well, that aged quite well
Just as one of the only good things to come out of the Star Wars prequels was the Plinkett reviews, one of the few good things about Raw 25 was Cornette and Last pissing all over it.
I know what this is and I clapped.
Jack Gallagher is the key to all this, if we get Jack Gallagher working....'cause he's a funnier character than we've ever had...'
At least Jack has charisma and screen presence though.
@Kry Kry
Calling the prequels garbage would be an insult to garbage.
I actually dug the prequels believe it or not. Even 7 I thought was alright. But 8 was a huge steaming pile of bloody puss covered shit
The booking of wrestling is really bad. Jim cornette ideas is what makes wrestling interesting again
Good . I'm not the only one who thinks Dana Brooke is Alexandra York.
Robert Ridley they really should have had an interaction between Terri and Dana! I mean damn she was there and it would of made sense.
Terri acknowledged that on twitter a few weeks back
It would have made sense, yes.
Anyone who ever saw Alexandra York would know exactly what Dana Brooke is doing.
Theo Dious I think they might be doing the character because they don't realize how many people watching remember. But it could be the exact opposite, maybe they do know that a lot of people watching would make the connection. I just know that I've both read about, and seen with my own eyes, recycled storylines in WWE. So it makes me wonder if they feel they have enough viewers who weren't watching the original source material for the stuff to seem new.
Raw 25 proved wwe really doesnt care about the die hard fans. Proof of this is the shitty manhattan center booking
Oh you mean the die hard fans who are constantly raving and screaming about Bullet Club?
Sure, it's not like they catered to them at all by having Balor and The Club too sweet DX.
Welcome to the real world. Companies that focus on the customer that will never leave never grow and rarely make money. Ask yourself this: You run a bar and there's 10 guys that come every night and you see 25 different faces every night, do you focus on the customer that needs convincing to return or the 10 guys who will show as long as you have beer on tap?
Because they know the die hards will keep coming back, despite all of their constant moaning and groaning.
mhmmm.... ^ sad
god no. NOT those die hards.
Brian the psychic with one hell of a prediction. Vince had to be removed 😂😂😂
WWE Needs To Get Rid Of The PG Nonsense
Roberto Gonzalez
To what end that's not going to lead to them having guys blade or the women coming out with hands painted on their breasts.
I'll take pg pro wrestling over tv-14 sports entertainment
Roberto Gonzalez Yea, but knowing people these days everyone would throw a bitch fit.
It's not the of rating inpact is the 14 tv is it better
Or just go off the air period.It sucks!
56:14 "Who looks like a fucking sewer rat right now. He has 10 strands of hair. Just fucking shave your head already."
Lol Damn, that was brutal.
Cornette kind of predicted romans push haha.
51:30 That is something I cannot fucking stand (the rare times I do check into watching WWE nowadays). Everytime there a bump, they have to zoom the damn camera in like if they didn't do that affect, the people at home would not "feel" it. It is overproduced, overscripted, and micromanaged to death, with none of the feel of unpredictability and spontaneity that made the first ten to fifteen years of that show great.
I always figured it was a tactic to mask some of their moves, like pulled punches and kicks.. Ever since I had a seizure, that shit has been jarring for me to watch.
So this was basically the MSG curtain call times a million.
55:41 -- Brian called it. Removed.
Fired up Brian Last is friggin gold. Also #justicefortherevival
What does these people being white have anything to do with it?
5 years later and yeah it turns out Vince was removed
Brian last and Jimmy cornette really know their s***
55:43 ,wow brian last predicted this thing ,4 yrs back
Brian Last just won me over with that "sewer rat" comment lmfao
This was everything I thought the whole time I watched the show. A friend asked me about the show and the only thing I could say was "Clusterfuck", because that's what it was. This show should have been loaded with matches and it's so disheartening because when wrestling is good, it's so fun! I kept waiting for the "Big Moment" and it just never came.
It is wwe... What do you think?
that AJ Styles comment from good ol' Corny must've the greatest example of a backhanded compliment that i've ever heard.
Starting the matches with an 8 woman tag is equal to Nitro starting with 3 Count.
bigD5172 recently the only quality matches have been between the ladies.
Diminished returns are guaranteed with a 4 on 4 tag match. Especially when there are 2 commercial timeouts during it. Not much worse that you can book after the great opening segment.
bigD5172
There were 3 commercials actually and the match ended like a good minute or so after the last one.
Get up on your feet
Put your hands together
Sing along with 3 Count
We'll party on forever
Brian Last and Jim Cornette nailed it here. I am a life long WWF/E fan who has been listening to a lot of shoots and podcasts recently and I was REALLY looking forward to this show. Looking for any excuse to get back into watching wrestling. Not only did this show waste all the old stars who came back it did NOTHING to make me want to tune in next week. Awful show.
Rob Babecki Been watching Wrestling since 1983, Raw is still good, but if your trying to find good wrestling and your just not feeling the WWE, watch New Japan...and if your not already listening to it yet check out Something to Wrestle With..
50/50 booking is intended to nullify the wrestling to highlight the story lines. Cutting the nose to spite the face.
Brian Last has absolutely hit the nail on the head
Brian’s rant at 52:11 hit me square in the funnybone! Laughed so freakin hard at that!!!
I would suggest that a late injury or altercation between talent and administration is what led to the expedient of the poker game being the main event. That's spacer, meant for a stopgap, when something goes wrong.
I might have been the only one who saw this, but I loved it:
when Shane is down on the mat, Vince & Austin have their hands raised, everyone is cheering & waiting for Vince to get stunned,
& Vince poured his beer on Shane.
I was on the floor 😂 😂
9:11 Post office playboy LOL LOL
glad somebody else heard this the term immediately caught my attention can you elaborate at all? or is it as it seems
glad somebody else heard this the term immediately caught my attention can you elaborate at all? or is it as it seems
dakota cocchi jim calls him the post office playboy due to a couple of the women at jim's post office have a thing brian and jim likes to play on it which is amusing
I haven't watched WWE since Taker retired. When I heard he was showing up I tuned, but outside of him reminding us who he is, nothing much else to it. Turned it off, sipped a shot of N Rubbens and watched some old Iron Chef, Sakai, Chicken battle ep.
bliss is 5 ft of fury
They aren't lying.
Brian absolutely destroyed Shawn Michaels!
Jim's idea for the Wyatt vs Hardy match was fucking brilliant. A whole team of writers and they couldn't come up with nothing for the 25th anniversary?!?!?
My friend was hoping Damian demento would have done a run in to avenge the loss on the first raw
Is he even alive?
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin's segment and The Undertaker return was the only interesting parts of the show.
Austin said..... nothing.. not one word
Frank D. Garrett
Or didn't do anything remotely original.
Frank D. Garrett he didn’t have to...
Love it Corny, got the Live Aid Phil Collins reference
It's like WWE have the same writers who wrote the Last Jedi, they must be on the same team.
Bloodsport1 my expectations got diverted
What they should of done is split RAW 25 into a month long event. Each Raw in January should of been a big anniversary show with a different legend as GM each week. Wk 1. Austin Wk2. HBK Wk 3. Undertaker? Wk 4. Rock. Throughout the month show a famous RAW moment and have the former superstar that's in the video talk about that night, that moment, what they were experiencing/thinking. They also could of worked former stars in to the shows as guest refs, lumberjacks (Reigns vs Miz with all of DX as lumberjacks?!!), guest commentators, in ring segments like The Brother Love Show, ect. There's so much they could of done other than having talent come out and wave or just get shown playing poker backstage. You finish week 4 in the Manhattan Center, huge main event, babyface getting beat on by multiple heels near the end of the match, hit Hogans music, he clears the ring and the final episode of RAW 25 goes off the air with Hogan and the babyface posing in the ring with Real American playing.
Chase Schleich overkill
Hogan thing just killed your comment
You can't have great, legendary on air talent from days past do their thing! What would it make the current roster look like, lol
Harvey Whippleman would flatten Brian Last!
Brian is fun, just don't take him seriously and he's alright, he sure doesn't. He has some opinions I disagree with utterly but he's a knowledgeable guy and actually really decent people when he isn't playing to a crowd.
ZECTCustomUnit Good pull man, he was plenty tough for a weedy looking little fella. I love hearing behind the scene stories about the refs, some if those guys are characters in their own right!
Brad Nimbus he's called Downtown Bruno on this channel, not Harvey.
Dr. Harvey Whippleman has always been cult...!!!
Douglas Patrick he can stuff his number symbol bullshit in a traffic cone and sit on it. just read the question.
56:15 hilarious 😂 cross eyed goof
I agreevwith Jim Cornette on whst he said on the Undertaker. Should have done his regular entrance, and/Or had him come out as the American Badass Taker, since they recently retired him.
I can't believe I watched the whole show without skipping any of it like I usually do
And great story, Jim. I'm another old time Sci-Fi fan.
36:56 " well how'd the FUCK did they do that??" Lol lol lol 😂😂 CLASSIC Cornette
original bullet club was gallows, Anderson, and styles
I feel for those people who wasted the money on that shit. WWE fans are the type of people who count along with the 10 punches in the corner but keep counting after the spot is over.
Brad Nimbus I give stuff a shot still because it reminds me of my childhood (ruthless agression era) but I’m always left reminded why I don’t pay for tv so I can watch this stuff.
Matthew Juhl ruthless aggression? haha u suck, the attitude era shits all over your little pg 13 crappy wrestling from the mid 2000s, kid
You are right that the ruthless aggression era was better than PG now, but listen...ruthless aggression never held a candle to the attitude era. 1996 to 2001 was just the best years. Those years are gone. I actually feel bad for people who missed those years live. They were, just the best.
What's really sad is that Jim Cornette is coming up with more creative material after the show is already over and done with, and what's even more sad is that I was actually looking forward to this show, and it was the most lackluster episode of Monday Night Raw I've ever seen, especially it being a anniversary show. You've got to be kidding me, this is the absolute best they could come up with? Absolutely ridiculous, they are just doing everything they can to completely drive away fans who've followed this show and the overall product. I'll be lucky to see if there is WWE programming in 10 years.
Just got my I'm a him cornette guy shirt. Thanks again corny. Get up the great work
Gotta say hearing Brian go off on the Bayley thing was just so great
Cybele Ophis almost like the other bryan
I feel that the 1000th Episode of RAW was alot better as a show than the 25th Anniversary one because it had better matches involving Legends such as Vader and Lita. But the Steve Austin Segment of RAW 25 was the only good thing about the show. Man too bad Bret Hart wasn't at RAW 25 either but maybe him battling cancer had something to do with it. Also the DX segement was ok but not as good as Austin's. I laughed my ass off at the Austin Segment and how Vince was begging Austin not to Stun him by saying he was a Senior Citizen but Austin's facial expression told the tale that he didn't give a shit and stunned him anyways.
I like how Brian was the one to get angry. It even surprised Cornette lll
28:57 you don’t hear Brian say that anymore 😂😂
Damn, Cornette must have had the sound turned down with the entire crowd chanted "Walk With Elias!!!" he was one of the (very, VERY) few bright spots on that 3-hour shitshow.
OllieByGolly Elias is the most consistently over guy on Raw.
"It doesn't matter if Matt Hardy just got broken, or woken, why he couldn't have been beaten, or weaten" lol I love corny
The pop Austin got on this show was deservedly nuts. He's the fucking 🐐. You turn this show off after that segment and it's a 7 star classic episode. 😭😭😭
Jeff Hardy, Flair, Miz and Seth Rollins were all at the Manhattan Center
I love Jim cornette😊
I agree with jim on a lot of what he says, but miz is so underated on the roster. Guys promos are always great and he's had some of the better matches over the last year
The Miz is average.. I can't say he can't wrestle but his style of wrestling is boring and he actually can talk given the circumstances of being scripted.. The Miz away from WWE can actually talk well and I think he can be someone's manager better than him being a wrestler.. My opinion..
Miz is incredible. Cornette is butthurt about the way Miz broke in.
100% dude does not look like a wrestler, never had a good body and isn't actually that good on the mic. Stand him up against the 90s talkers and there'd be zero contest, he should be a manager not a wrestling.
What were his best matches ?
Take a look back at some of the matches he had with ziggler last year
Of course this show sucked... what do you expect when you have Barney the Dinosaur, Dr. Nick Shizznic, and Thurston Howell III for your writers. Felt sorry for the people shelling out the cash they did to be there.
Slamboree was better than RAW 25.
DAMN
Dr. Magic
Shit why don't we just say Wrestlemania 32 was better than Raw 25.
Cornette should go back to writing for the WWE
Olympia Lowlife Do you want him to have a heart attack?
Olympia Lowlife It's a lost cause. Not even Cornette can save that team.
Olympia Lowlife They need to go back to the Attitude Era.
@Pitt Burgh you have lost your fucking mind smfh
No...
should have had a raw gimmick battle royal for the legends
The greatest newcomer from NXT that came to the womens roster over the last couple of years was Alexa Bliss in my opinion...!
Thor Boysen Dude are you New to the whole wrestling scene?! Ask ya is a million times better than Alexa
Thor Boysen
Bliss hasn't really been that great and has simply been given titles for not much reason at the expense of burying other talent (while paradoxically being booked like garbage).
Yes...! You are right about Asuka. She is indeed better in the ring! But here is the problem. When it comes to promos Alexa would kill Asuka...!!! And Alexa did improve since her main roster start at Smackdown! And finally we must admit that Alexa Bliss is way more over with the fans...!!! Even as a heel! She sells a ton of Merch...!!!
Thor Boysen
I haven't seen her cut one memorable or good promo since she's been on the main roster as for being over while I won't question that if you want your champion to be over and look good maybe you shouldn't do things like have them get beaten up by a heel stable for no reason then do no follow up or have her get laid out in the ring by another chick after she cuts a promo on said chick who she allows to get in the ring figuring nothing would happen
Yeah! Maybe they should turn Alexa babyface...! i didn't watch NXT but i think she was a babyface there...! Right...?
Austin's part was good.
what did he say?
Frank D. Garrett , nothing. Just gave out stunners to Mcmahons.
Taker died when the streak died. It pissed the fans off beyond return for the end of the character it was the last thing to really care about
I'm reminded by Hogans TNA debut
marx brothers reference!
Brian's right, WWE put Roman in this position and are 100% responsible for the hate he gets.
This is a really entertaining review, and sounds like Corny was giving it a fair chance too. Think he's a bit rough on Taker's promo skills. I think he's quite strong on the mic. But have heard that promo was pointless.
Taker is strong on the mic but even he falters as his Wrestlemania 25 promo illustrates.
Surprised he didn't recognize Blackjack Mulligan ' s grandson and Larry the Axe Hennig ' s grandson coming out with the Miz.
Miz has done more for the IC title than anyone else in the last 2 years.
So nothing then
Tony Kennedy well he would of have... why? There wasnet 2 I.C champs! They force feed us anyone else we wouldnt be having this convo.. miz gd on the mic but he not a great wrestler
I think one think the Miz has is something you can't teach. He really does seem like a douche and that makes him believable. Jim says he doesn't buy the Miz as intimidating and I can get that but to me the Miz is a great heel.
His work is decent too. People give him a hard time because he used to be truly awful in the ring.
I think Miz is solid, I just think he’s lacked a good rival for us to care. Get a baby face over and let Miz keep screwing him and you love it. Miz is an awesome heel, but it’s hard to mad about him when there’s nobody you care about chasing him for the belt. Just my opinion.
Tony Kennedy Remember how everyone used to dispise
Let's see whos still alive that attended the first Raw ... You mean to tell me they couldn't put some things aside and get the original first raw wrestlers back together for just one night I would have marked so hard to see the Birdman come back or the steiner brothers.
Bret Hart
Koko B Ware
Konnan aka Max Moon
Damien Demento
Rob Bartlett
Doink
Steiner Brothers
some of The Executioners
When I saw Dana Brooke the first thing I though was Terri Runnels in WCW. Lol nice Jim
55:59 Brian Last fucking called it. 4 years later Vince gets outed
THIS WAS THE SHOW THAT SOLIDIFIED THE FACT THAT FROM HERE FORWARD WWE IS GOING TO BE GARBAAAAGGGEEE CACA!!
Roman was great with the shield, but he should’ve either had him either win the rumble the year he was over, has him stay in the mid card awhile after the breakup, or stayed with Rollins as his security instead of J&J.
man i love Jim
No Hulk Hogan, no Rock, no Sting, no Bret Hitman, and no NWO. Bischoff was there why not
do a WCW flashback?
Because a WCW flashback would remind people of TNA/globle force?
i'd o had a WCW flashback attack and the help of a new a new stable "the wolfpack" to lead in to weekly programing would sell.
The new wolfpack are heels, new guys that miss thee old WCW and want revenge on HHH and the mc mans.
Hogan,NWO and Sting have nothing to do with Monday Night RAW
Because he wanted it to all be about Raw and Raw only.
BQ 6:13 All 3 were featured prominently on multiple RAW episodes, but yeah totally unrelated.
Is Broken Matt on WWE now? I've been off WWE for around a decade. Also, time-stamps in the description for when different topics are being covered would be nice so listeners know where to skip to what they're most interested in.
Brian hit the nail on the head about WWE and i agree they are a lost cause, Vince stopped caring a long time ago. RAW 25 was trash, just more old guys brought out for cheap pops and the young talent pushed to the side again, matches were crap the DX seg commentators talking twaddle instead of focusing on the match and whats going on in the ring, crap production with camera work that makes you feel ill watching it and no forward thinking just a lifeless company. I have no faith in HHH and Steph taking over as both are huge egomanics, just sell to Fox or Disney.
Kael2450
I have my problems with the company too but even I wouldn't wish that fate on them since that would most clearly not work.
Raw 25 absolutely sucked as a show.
you think they took the IC strap off Roman so he can be set or teased to win the rumble again ?
Darrin H.
No.
No hat no gloves no tie that taker entrance was covered in wack saucex2sorry😔
First raw i watched in years
it felt so....un-natural...
Mister Vintage it reminded you why you stopped watching ?
Daniel Espinoz yep, reminds me why I gave up in 2014
+Mister Vintage
Same here. It was boring and in all honesty, I gave up in 2005 and I was reminded why.
I'm so sorry
