In the thumbnail Jim Cornette better give up his seat or Teddy Long will have you go 1 vs 1 against the Undertakahhh!! 😂😂
I read that in Teddy's voice 😂😂😂😂
Haaallaaaaaaa haaaaallaaaaa playaaaa!
Jim Cornette: shiiiit!
Undertaker: Jim Cornette! You will….. rest……….. in………… peace!
😂😂
Undertakahhh the goat.
Teddy Long with that "Get Out of My Seat Playa or You're Gonna Get Removed By the Harlem Heat" look.
More like going 1 on 1 with the UnderTAKA
@@BUPMY1 Undertaka michinoku?
@@ValiantWrestling Indeed!
you will go one on one with the undertaker right now playa! taker no he will not!
Removed by Doom.
Blue Meanie is probably the most famous one. When BM tells the story about sitting in first class, he was getting a ton of dirty looks. Then Mick Foley walks on and sees BM and goes “Meanie…oh no, Meanie…what have you done?” 😂 apparently that’s what made JBL have an issue with BM.
“Take me with you, Mick!” 😂
JBL being salty haha.
Yeah, otherwise I'm sure JBL would have been really nice to him like he was with everyone else.
@@skylarker1986 Exactly, JBL was just a dick. He can claim that he was just ribbing all he wants, but he went far beyond that. Owen Hart ribbed guys constantly, but it was never in a mean way. Everyone still loved Owen at the end of the day. You can't say the same about JBL.
@@RandalfElVikingo Let's not pretend Blue Meanie deserved First Class, the dude was and is a cancer to Wrestling. Calling him a 'Backyard Wrestler' would be putting him over. One of the worst ECW had to offer.
Teddy long is almost eighty?! I remember when he was a referee back in the 1980's
Yeah I had to look up his age and he's 75! He looks great :)
Holla Holla Holla!
For all the sometimes valid talk of *_today's locker room being soft,_* 80s and 90s wrestlers sure were *_precious and jealous_* when others got something nice.
Haha you were there?
Different varieties of softness.
To put it mildly.
@@insupportofjunhadoshit, that's a smart point
Except it wasn’t being soft at those times. Paying your dues was (and should be) a huge part of wrestling in the 80s and early 90s. It wasn’t jealousy. It was rightful anger at people who didn’t deserve certain luxuries yet overstepping their bounds.
Jim may hate him for some petty reason, but I’ve only ever heard good things about the Miz as a person
That’s one big drawback to Jim, I like him, but these petty reasons to assassinate people’s character or worth can be a bit excessive.
Blue Meanie is the most notable one I recall.
He's the only one that will admit to it in public, and it's a great story with Mick giving Meanie the "what are you doing" look when he walked past and Meanie just giving Mick a deer in the headlights look.
I believe there's a story that when the Hardy Boyz won the tag titles in 99 Michael Hayes had them moved to first class. Jeff realized he had taken Kanes seat and immediately offered it back to him but Kane told him it was okay. However a lot of the vets didn't see it that way and it led to them going to wrestlers court
Man fuck all of that, if I want to sit in first class, where the help I’m going to sit, I don’t owe anyone anything.
I couldn't give a fuck, you get me a first class seat, I'm sitting in it, you want it ? Fight me 😂
Easy tough guy 😂
@Johnny Souza it's less about being a tough guy and more about the fact that first class is such a rare treat for me 🤣🤣
Sean Oliver: "Yoko flee coach ?
Kevin Nash: "He ll Yea he did"
Sean Oliver: "How ?"
Kevin Nash: "He bought two seats"
how'd you edit the comment and still get it wrong?
Sean Oliver: "Yoko fly coach?"
Kevin Nash: "Hell yeah he did!"
Sean Oliver: "How?"
Kevin Nash: "He bought two seats".
@@michaelmarino7391 😂😂😂
Oliver: he shoulda bought that seat for a transgender black boy who didn't get a job instead of protesting guns & abortion bans
Never mess with teddy long otherwise, you will go one on one with da undertaker!
I'm not going to say who told me this, but I was once told a story about JBL bullying Spike Dudley into giving up his 1st class upgrade to Ron Simmons. Spike finally caved in, but Simmons turned the seat down.
You know the "Plane Ride from Hell" often comes to mind when it comes to wrestling etiquette aboard an airplane.
who thinks wrestling on a plane is a good idea lol
Hahaha, same. The most hilarious story to ever come out of Professional Wrestling, imagine being a Fly aboard that Plane whilst everything happened, sheer luck.
@@TheAnonymousIndividual and then seeing Brock and Mr. Perfect hit the big door and hope it doesnt pop open and you all die from either being sucked out or a plane crash lol
@@spookerredmenace3950 Tbh, the door couldn't have been popped open, it'd be impossible for it to have been. But, 30,000+ feet above the Atlantic Ocean? Not worth finding out.
@@TheAnonymousIndividual no i know but that one in a million time, who knows lol
If I’m flying First Class it’s because I worked hard enough to make the money to buy a ticket for First Class.
Now if I decide to give up my seat to someone, it’s out of respect. It’s mine to give and I’d do so happily.
Being expected to give up your seat because someone thinks that they’re better than you? I thought this got settled on a bus in 1955.
I feel the same way. Was the video about a scenario where a group of wrestlers bought themselves tickets for the same plane, and if one of them got a first class seat, some other "more important wrestler" just expects to give it up to him?
Or did i just not understand the story?
This is the toxic political side of wrestling. There’s a “pecking order”, which is why CM punk made fun of WWE when they were doing the Be A Star campaign
I love the story of Bobby Heenan locking the doors to the bathroom on flights from Denver to Minneapolis.
Jim was asking the pilots to sing a lullaby to him on the Crockett plane to calm him down.
I was confused for a minute too. Since when do they just put everyone all over the commercial plane? I remember being downgraded, not any class, but to a dining car because the train messed up and didn't have enough seats for the group. I also remember sitting in a different part of the plane because two of us bought more expensive tickets than the rest, but this particular scenario is new to me.
These are the stories we want to hear about
Classy of the Miz to give up his first class seat and give it to Teddy Long. That shows respect for your elders and so much more.
Pretty sure I've heard that in the Blue Meanie story, the office had booked the flight for him. In that case, where the company is paying for them (coach or 1st class alike) I would expect jobbers to cede the seats to big names. Heck, I wouldn't be shocked to find out that the company did that as a test/hazing ritual...
But if a guy buys or upgrades his own ticket... any complaints can be filed out back in the dumpster
Blue Meanie was given a first class seat and didn't give it up. Which caused heat between him and JBL.
That lead to JBL legitimately fighting him during the brawl at ECW One Night Stand
That chair shot from Stevie was 100% deserved
@@XombieLejon66The thick flop of blood soaked hair on top of JBL's head was the stamp of approval.
Seriously?!
The seat incident has never been mentioned as the cause of Meanie getting jumped by JBL. If it was, then JBL was sitting on that for a long time. The seat incident happened when Meanie was first signed to WWE and it was only his first or second plane he took with WWE. JBL attacked Meanie after he was already let go by WWE and he was only brought back for One Night Stand where the attack took place. After the attack, Meanie was re-signed by WWE to avoid a lawsuit. In hindsight, Meanie shouldn't have re-signed and should've sued WWE and JBL for millions.
@@northofnashira2575 I knew the seat incident had some heat. But for it still resonate with JBL to justify attacking him is stupid
Get up playa!
Growing up i was big into wrestling and had family work with wcw. Lex, buff bagwell, konan, and vincent would always come back for autographs after nwo shoots.
You want a cookie?
@@jamesstewart8377 Thats cute.
First class is great because babies know not to cry or puke or cry the whole flight
This is proof of pettiness lol
Sounds like more of the typical bullying "Shake everybodys hand" crap to me
Bret Hart had a story where the World body federations guy were getting First Class and he and Taker had to sit in coach.
How the hell takers tall ass fit
@@jimbowlan5804 I’d love to see that physical configuration.
Lex had first class tickets due to the WBF contract. All the bodybuilders did, while the wrestlers that drew the money that funded the WBF were in coach 😂
Yaa that’s right that was the only way Vince could sign him till his wcw contract ran out
Listen to Jim story about Lex Luger, noticed that now is somebody's a wrestling fan Jim cornette hates them, but back then he recognized Lex Luger as a pariah because he was not a mark
More proof ALL wrestlers have the mentality of 14 year old girls
But the new generation was “soft”. 😂😂
So if you pay for a first class ticket then you're expected to give up the seat to someone who purchased coach? IF the WWE purchased the ticket and by mistake... I can see that argument, but not if I paid for the ticket.
If the office purchased the ticket, the pther wrestlers should take it up with the office. That's petty bullshit.
Some wrestlers could not fit in cattle class.
Has anyone heard the story about Teddy Long and being on the Crockett plane?
Why teddy doesn't get first class? 😕
That miz guy is a ok in my book!
Miz seems like a cool dude.
Okay, Buttkisski.
He’s come a long way. I used to intensely dislike him on The Real World, but he’s alright in my book now.
For a person who didn't watch wrestling, would you say Luger came a long way?
I always assumed that the wrestlers flew in economy as it saved money. Only Ric Flair took private jets
Huh? The entire JCP company was on private jets a lot of the time.
Besides, wrestlers don't pay for airline tickets.
@@Rjensen2 That’s why JCP went down the tubes and had to be bailed out by Ted Turner. Also, correct me if I’m wrong, the WWE wrestlers have to pay for for their own travel expenses if I can recall so hence why you see so many in economy
I believe Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase flew in private jets too to help him stay in character.
@@andrewgraham6339 You are wrong. Airline tickets were always paid for by the company.
@@andrewgraham6339 I think Jim has said when he was in WWE the only time flights and hotels was covered was during overseas trips and wrestlemaina weekend
6 MAN TAG TEAM MATCH PLAYA!!!
Lex luger was not mark fir the business he wanted to make his money and get out thats how you do it
Yea just get in for a quick 20 years and get out
Just like young corny would distroy young rock .titan towers in 96 would beat raw or dynamite or whatever people watch these days
I like southwest
CM Punk owns the Bucks!!
Holla Holla Playa 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Travis the Arteest!!😎
@@williammitchell4417 yep
Miz was accidentally given a job in the WWE.
Miz is the much more successful version of "Ratings Killer" MJF.
@@joegreene7619 miz is also 40 if not older
MJF is just getting started, baby
@@GraveMemories Mike has been at it for a while. He and Dolph started about the same time.
@@joegreene7619 MJF was the ONLY reason many people even watched AEW at all when Punk is gone.
@@Bowler6611 MJF has consistently been in segments where people change the channel. He's near the bottom of AEW for keeping people tuned in.
🤘😆🤘
Trash.
50 dollar upgrade from Tampa to Miami sometimes I don’t do it though it’s about 38 minutes flight time
I work for delta. We still upgrade. But it’s for free now.
I work for JetBlue. We charge. 😂😂
I’ve heard that in first class you can order as much food as your want (for free) not just the meal that they give you. Anyone know if this is true?
We don’t share that info with you peasants 🥂
Jk I’m poor 😂
@@aquaticambiance hahaha, awesome
@@aquaticambiance Great sense of humour haha.
It isn’t. Sometimes you don’t even get to pick between two options. The horror of 2020’s flying.😂
Way to contradict yourself and say 2 different answers
