This is Cornys “I’m sorry, I love you” moment to Ric
6 1/4 stars for that comment.
@@shamsi780 he would’ve gotten the full 7 stars if he typed it in Japanese…
@@ggali09 bravo 👏 that's popped me
@@ggali09 while IN the Tokyo Dome
Now I'm imagining Jim doing the Superkick.
I knew Ric was out of his mind when he said Macho Man Randy Savage wasn’t a good worker.
That doesn’t even make sense, those two stole the show at Wrestlemania 8.
Yep.
I lost respect for him when I heard that. Refuse to listen to his podcast after…
Well it's a matter of personal opinion. In his mind if you have to plan a whole match ahead of time then you aren't a great worker. Personally I don't care about that stuff as a fan, not like I could ever tell the difference but I can see why the peers of a wrestler who does stuff like that would roll their eyes
This.
Ric Flair, at this point, is the pedestrian from Grand Theft Auto 3 that randomly says “Yep. I’ve been drinking again”
BRUH!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
Whats funnier the GT3 reference or the blatant mockery of flair’s unfortunate vices 😅
Lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cornette finally not defending Ric Flair's bullshit is amazing.
Took him forever with Cody, bout time he finally took off the Flair tinted glasses and got over his nostalgia
@@malikevans2615 I mean, I get it if it's difficult for him. It's not just nostalgia for Flair as a performer. Ric was the guy who saw Cornette's act when he worked a Superdome show for Watts and went back to Jim Crockett and told him he had to get this guy. Flair gave Cornette his first job on a booking committee. Cornette owes a ton to Flair for his career. I'm actually surprised he's as forthright about Flair as he is, because we all know what Corny's biases (positive and negative) are.
@@pronkb000 that's fair, it's been awhile since i heard some of his talks about his era of wrestling.
The Trump thing cracked it open.
@fleshnbone187 trump derangement syndrome can really do that to people.
Bryan Danielson was the best in the world before he stepped in a WWE ring. I don't think a lot of people understand how great he really was and is. Not just the in-ring stuff. Bryan knows he isn't a great promo but he does and says things at the right times to get the best reactions.
I've always seen Bryan and Punk as top genius-level wrestlers. Punk is so good on the mic that it overshadows how amazing he is in putting matches together. Bryan is so good at putting matches together that it overshadows how amazing he is on the mic with his character.
Bryan is great.
You severely overrate Punk.
@@theecharmingbilly false
Punk is certainly no "genuis wrestler".
I never thought D-Bry was a bad promo, by any means...
And I never liked Punk in any way. But thats what I love about wrestling as an adult, it's all subjective. As a kid it's good guys and bad guys, like comic books. But now being a fan and loving wrestling is better. That's just my 2 cents. God Bless🤘
Yes he was.
Be it in Ring of Honor, ANY ring in Japan, he was always a great worker, technically sound, a great seller and timing
Not that it matters to me, but Ric Flair is a supportor of that side of politics. When George H.W. Bush, (not his son), was running for reelection, he was on a teain with Bush Sr. In South Carolina in a news clip that was routinely played on CNN at the time. A picture of it turned up in the old Apter Magazines.
My point being that him supporting Trump is not a surprise to me.
Cornette will forgive Flairs antics on the Plane Ride from Hell but Flair has crossed the line by giving Omega a compliment. Lofl
Yup that happened
No. He will forgive that too. It’s all over the fact that Flair is a Trump supporter.
Can’t wait for the Rock to run for President.
Flair was near blackout drunk and already chummy with the stewardesses after partying for days. Not an excuse but he just had/has no concept of consent or when things aren't funny.
That's what I was thinking. He cringed at Flair praising Omega but not at Flair forcing himself on an innocent woman.
We all have our breaking points?
Fun Fact: Bryan started the YES movement as a Heel.
It just got so over that he had to turn baby face.
@@Radhaugo108 we know it,dude
Flair lies about sleeping with Halle Berry, jim says nothing.
Gets called out for flashing a flight attendant, Jim says "he meant no harm"
Flair says Omega is better than Danielson and Jim says "Fuck him, he should be locked away!"
The wrestling business is scared. :)
That’s wrestling for ya.
He is butt hurt that Ric Flair supported Trump.
@KaneMagus I'd take mean tweets over record inflation, sky high gas prices, broken supply chains, the border is absolute disaster, leaving behind 80 billion $ in high tech weapons for terrorists to use in Afghanistan and abandon many American citizens behind enemy lines. Useless pos and weirdo creep always sniffing little girls. Everything he has touched has been a total failure.
@@JEGFL85 That is a slander! He has sniffed a lot of women too!
"well, he hasn't had a career defining match" he had a literal movement. Does Ric forget the Yes movement?
You're asking a Trump supporter if they forget about movement's?
YES! YES! YES!
Dare I say his triple threat with Edge and Roman at this past Mania was a dream match.
@@ThatGuyOnTH-cam2 It’s pathetic that you think it’s somehow a BAD thing to protect other people.
You people are the dredges of humanity.
The worst of the worst.
@@TheLifeOfNurse (insert biden's memory gag here)
He says things that aren't true... That is called a liar. Saying you were in the room when someone was murdered when you were not isn't remembering wrong. It is lying.
He probably wasn't even in Puerto Rico when it happened
Lie is intentional. If you tell something bona fide, but it isn't really true, you're not lying, you are just wrong. Same thing with old people. Calling demented patient a liar, is not really accurate. They're just mistaken
Even Hulk Hogan wouldn’t lie about such a thing.
@@ThatDoesntWorkForMeBrother Of coarse the Hulkster was there brother! ... He was also in Ford's Theater on the night that Lincoln was assassinated.
Just like Jim is a blatant liar when it comes to his nonsensical political ramblings.
Jim and Brian don't even realize how acclaimed and praised Bryan's last heel run in WWE was as The Planet's Champion, he was incredible and his work truly made KofiMania come together as epic as it was. Wouldn't have worked as well as it did with anyone else like an Randy Orton or whoever on multiple levels. No one has ever said Flair's insights are good ever.
His custom championship is very underrated. Got a lot of hate but that whole gimmick he had and the title was A1 in my opinion...and he did a great job playing the heel too because there wasn't a single person in that stadium who didnt get up and cheer when Kofi won lol
Kofi Mania epic? HAHAHA!
@@Bale4Bond I've never been a Kofi fan, but his feud with Bryan was excellent. You can chalk that up to Bryan making him look good, or Kofi being supermotivated because he was receiving such a big push, but the pops he was getting were huge at the time.
Flair is an old, broke racist.
@@LokiTricksterG In my opinion the worst WWE Champion of all time
When flair talks he's looking for a payday, it's embarrassing
Hey someone has to get Ric his alimony funds
@@ren17x50 ….WOOOOOOO!
Bryan is a revolutionary, one-of-a-kind wrestler. The way he incorporates technical wrestling, MMA, striking, and intertwines it with storytelling and psychology is an evolution in the business. Shiabata and Zack Sabre Jr are the only other guys I can think of who can perform a similar style, but neither have the storytelling ability or emotional connection he does.
Hell, how many 5'10 guys can be such a violent heel that you actually feel like they're bullying and torturing the babyface? You'd think Flair would see all of this.
Very well put. Danielson can literally do just about anything between the ropes. He can be the nastiest heel or a sympathetic babyface. He can wrestle in a wide variety of styles, perfectly blending old school catch wrestling with modern MMA. But more importantly he understands psychology, storytelling and pacing. And outside the ring he can also cut fantastic promos. Dude might be in contention for the most versatile wrestler ever.
5'10? Come on dude.
@@beowulf4696 5'8" shoot height? All the more impressive that he's the most ass kickiest guy in AEW by far.
Dynamite Kid
Chris Benoit
NJPW
I respect his skill, but his style(s) is just boring now in AEW. He told a better story w/ his wrestling when he was with the WWE. Just my opinion.
Ric is cooked in the head. Danielson is an amazing heel and baby face. Him as the Eco Friendly WWE champion was GOLD!
The years of jet flying, chair shot taking, blade cutting and booze drinking have really caught up to him. He has lost it.
I thought it was wood 🤔
"Brian wasn't a great face compared to Steamboat." LOL
Yes movement. How many millions of fans over the 2-3 years leading up to WrestleMania 30 shouted YES so loud the building shook at every show he went to?
I saw YES chants at NFL and NBA events!!! Brian was a goddamn megastar years before anyone in WWE realized it and long before he wrestled HHH.
Bryan got a louder crowd reaction at Mania XXX than either Steamboat or Flair ever got.
The Yes chants reminded me of the ECW chants when that promotion was in its heyday. He was so over, but WWE (in so many cases) failed to capitalize on DB's momentum at its height.
Behave will u steamboat was a huge star for his great techincal abilty thats the comparison
Your taking the both their situations out of context the BD yes movement was damn deserved one and who wouldn't join in when u see the boss of the company try keep DB down and screw him over because he didnt fit HHH or vince's ideal it made DB a stone cold level star for resisting and standing up to crooked authority figures.
Not only NBA and NFL events but people on the street or at work as well, mainstream people who didn't even know who he was or had watched wrestling before, which reminded me of how everyone said "Austin 3:16" even though they didn't know who Austin was, they just heard it from other people and then they wanted to watch the shows (and they did). You'd think the WWE would WANT that mainstream attention but I guess they'd rather cut their nose off to spite their face and they did, having Bryan win in a crappy triple threat (that he was wheeled away from in a stretcher at one point) and then having him in a lackluster feud with Kane where he got injured and had to relinquish the belt. He was the ultimate missed opportunity by them.
@@CoolCATs2814 how did they fail to capitalise, he beat 3 hof in one night got the world title and had to drop it because of injury
Ric has been kinda dismissive about Bryan Danielson. During the infamous WWE2k14 panel, Danielson innocently and humbly said " I don't know why I'm here" - the reason Danielson said that, was because Danielson was seated next to bona fide legends (this was around 2013, before the Yes Movement), Ric responded - “41 years - you can only imagine wrestling Brody and Blackjack, you can imagine how I feel about being up here… GOOD LORD, Jeez, What would Harley have said about him (Bryan Danielson)? One tackle, one drop down, come off low buddy, don’t let your beard hit the ground”. I think Danielson is probably the best technical wrestler around - Danielson is definitely one of the top wrestlers in the world, Danielson is a good talker, he wrestles a legit style, more importantly - Danielson has a real connection with the fans. Danielson has striking similarities with William Regal, Chris Benoit and Owen Hart. Danielson's match with Adam Page was great, it had credible action, it was paced really well, it actually told a story, the match had escalation. Bryan's matches have a lot character, and Bryan knows how to work towards his opponent's style, which makes Bryan's matches different and exciting. The irony is that if a young Flair worked with Bryan, he probably would've loved it, Flair loved working Regal, and Flair respects the World of Sports/European style of wrestling, but for some reason Flair doesn't see what everyone else sees, and Danielson was over before Wrestlemania 30.
H's friend. We're hearing what Hunter has said in the past prob lol
ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-SEVEN POUNDS is his billed weight!!
Flair likes CONFIDENT people!!
"I don't know why I'm here" - way to out yourself as a regular joe.
@@MilkmanC Or maybe a lot of guys think Daniel Bryan is not all that.
@@darrengordon-hill I think the "I don't know why I'm here" quote came from a humble place - the panel consisted of the following legends; Mick Foley, Rey Mysterio, Paul Heyman, Ric Flair and Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Danielson hadn't won his 1st WWE World Title, and the Yes movement was barely a twinkle in Bryan's eye, so Danielson was being affable. Ric's "Harley Race" comment is probably related to Danielson's size - but Danielson wrestles a believable aggressive style, and his offence is credible. Also, Ric is hardly a picture of confidence, in fact - Ric has numerous insecurities. Ric has had confidence issues for years, this has been covered in his book, shoot interviews and documentaries. Danielson in comparison seems pretty chilled and level-headed, Danielson is pretty confident in his skills, Danielson is pretty confident about his role in wrestling and what he can contribute to wrestling.
P
I love Ric but he has a history of talking out of his arse.
U get a thumb's up for that awesome thumbnail picture.
Ric Flair doesn't know when to keep his Mouth Shut
Ric Flair is becoming the new Hulk Hogan when it comes to story telling. You can't call Hogan a liar while saying that Flair has a "faulty memory." Flair is a liar too, and a bitter liar.
Now now, he has always had a history of lying out his ass. Same as Hogan.
@@drg5352 Fair enough!
I don't agree with Ric but the irony in his statement is every argument he uses could be used against him 30 years ago. Not only that but he had the same exact match for 30 years lmao
Just behind Hogan in terms of same matches.

@@tobiasfarragut292 right 😂😂
Danielson is the talent in ring that Flair thinks he is.
Bryan Danielson has been one of the most versatile performers of all time: Annoying heel before teaming up with Kane, Beloved babyface/underdog, Retirement, Improbable Comeback, Planet's Champion (even made Rowan relevant), Main event of Wrestlemania with Roman and Edge, and now the best wrestler in AEW (by far imo)
Look at Ric's verified social media. It's a fan page for himself.
FJC and FJB. Trump 2024🇺🇸
Following him from his ROH days until now, it's my opinion that Danielson is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. He's excelled at every stage and level he's been at with a feverish amount of support from fans and tons of respect from fellow wrestlers. I see him like I see Bret Hart. My God is he soooo much better than Kenny Omega the comparison is laughable.....and I love Ric Flair.
Its Bret Hart as GOAT and then Bryan Danielson.
Jim and Bryan's faces looking at Rick is just priceless 😕😠 🤣🤣
Ric's taken one too many chair shots to the head if he thinks Bryan Danielson's match with Triple H is the match that made him. No, he was over for a long, long time before that.
I understand what he meant. Yes, he was over before that, but it elevated him to the moon. Before it was just a strong following and think it was dialed up 100. HHH doesn't job for just anyone
Fuck, I don't even remember that match. I clearly remember the 3 way later that night with Orton and Boo-tista, but I'm totally drawing a blank on the HHH match.
@@Cruising_On_Lake_Havasoma it started the show. Bryan had to win to get to the championship. They had been stacking the deck against him for months.
Kind of like the Kingston deal where he had to overcome the odds.
IF YOU'RE A MARK!!!!
why does everything have to go back to jims hatred of people who do not agree with him on politics
When I think Flair all that comes to mind is Scott Steiner's WCW promos on him lol. HE legit hated Flair
Those were gold!
@@misternewman1576 yea for sure wasnt scripted at all either.
It was Flair that buried Rick in NWA by putting him in the stupid Gremlin gimmick.
@@robhastings5403 Really, to Rick Steiner? I haven't heard that but now ima look into it. Thanks
Sexual harassment can be excused for Cornette. But a different opinion on politics? nope. Decades of friendship go out of the window. The guy is insane truly.
He quit his friendship with Brian Zane, because he defended "clown wrestling". He did a few collabs with Brian in the span of few years, but when he saw Brian tweet that, he just blocked the guy!
I'm tired of Trump going over Cornette every podcast. They should end this feud already.
if Cornette was true to his character/wrestling nature he would be against both parties because he should be able to see its a work
@@simmi1172 people have their blind spots 😂
As corny said before: flair never grew up. He's a 70+ yr old man with the personality of an insecure 15 yr old.
Sad but true, I think that's a part of the reason Flair no longer speaks to people he used to be close to such as Arn. Those guys happily settled down with their families when there time was done, Flair could never let go though.
I've yet to see the 30 for 30 on Flair but it seems he should have gotten therapy in his 20s or 30s. His parents didn't seem to really want him just replacing their dead child and he seems to be trying to get love ever since. What grown man is so bored in one day of marriage that he leaves to get drunk and screw around? I know 12 yr olds with more attention.
@@ren17x50 any woman who willingly agreed to be in a relationship with Ric Flair should've already known what was to come so it's hard to feel bad
@@persistentlypathetic6820 the first wife I do. Wife #5 I mean come on...lol. That's silly
Ric has had a pretty bad time recently.
All the dark side of the ring stuff and now this.
Yeah but the darkside of the ring bullshit happened 18years before that show even came out,there was an out of court settlement,people were dealt with by wwf,and the alleged participants all moved on, so they did Ric Flair dirty. I personally couldn't care less.
@@jameswesten2018 misogynist
@@jameswesten2018 Ric is the one who did it the other's were just being the typical wrestling jackasses it just happened to be at the same time...they didn't sexually assault anyone Flair did...nothing is gonna happen to him but the truth about what happened needed to be told bud
@@blueprint7 they got paid out. Think about how many stewardesses that went thru the same things with pro sports teams you don't hear about, and didn't get a pay off. This is nothing new, you just don't hear about the NFL,NBA,NHL, etc...planes, boats, you name it, I remember hearing countless stories over the years, mysoginize ya momma, I didn't say it's ok, it's not ok, the point is, if we dig up every situation that came up over the last 40 years you could have a whole series with a long list of pro athletes names. The root word in equality is equal. Not equal except some situations, equal.
Flair is so out of touch, He's making all these weird posts on Twitter and Instagram talking about how he is able to take photos with celebrities because it shows he's relevant, What?
Well some people want to stay relevant
Flair is doing a podcast with Mark Madden now. This is the Ric flair we have now.
Exactly, which automatically means I can't listen to it for more than a minute because I can't stand Madden. He is insufferable.
Mark Madden is BEYOND annoying. Good Lord...
Yeah flair is such a people pleaser. Hunter was not what made bryan. Madden is just an annoyance.
And the podcast absolutely sucks
Hunter needed Bryan Danielson not Vice versa.
Hunter was already made, idiotic statement.
@@kamfisher1714 we're talking about that point in time dummy.
The hypocrisy of cornette hating Omega for doing silly shit and respecting Rick for sexually assault a women yeah you know where is the common sense
Except that's not what happened. Jim CLEARLY said "I cannot defend this" when they talked about the "Plane Ride From Hell" episode, specifically before they went into the Flair part of it. Do you know the difference between trying to find an explanation for somebody's behaviour and making excuses for it?
NOWHERE did Jim "respect" Flair for what he did on that plane. You're a liar, just like Flair. I hope you're proud of yourself.
@@henrygvidonas9573 Jim made excuses for what he did and still Kenny doing stupid shit in a no body know company is worse than what flair did in that plane and what he do before that we don't know about
Ric trying to please HHH. Cornette will defend you for sexually harassing women. However, you better not disagree with him politically. Other than that, I agree with JC regarding BD. If anyone requires a straight jacket it's the current President.
Except Undertaker,Jim gives him a pass and is a Trump guy
Exactly. That was my first observation, too.
@Old Man 10% for the big guy right?
I think he would hold his nose about the Trump had Ric not made such an asinine comment that besmirches the wrestling business.
@Hate Engine You do know that if there was the slightest chance the Trump won that the Supreme Court would have given at election to Trump, right? Just like GWB in 2000. Additionally, Trump was too lazy and unorganized to commit a coup de tat. That powerpoint presentation wasn't going to do it.
Of course he wants to get into AEW. Ric has stated he wants to die in the ring and AEW will let him do it.
If Tony Khan wanted him he'd be there by now
gotta give em what they want
The dark side of the ring publicity will keep him out of aew
😂
Why is it that because Ric is (apparently) a Trump supporter that *now* "the gloves are off"? Why does it take a difference in political leanings for you to call somebody out for lying about something!?
It's always interesting when Jim finds out that his old friends, who lived a good portion of their lives at a point in time where the United States was much more conservative, are Republican. Like if you told me that I needed to guess Ric Flair's political stance or I would die I would feel very confident in saying that he is conservative. I don't know it just seems like with a lot of these old guys it's a very blatant "no shit" type of deal.
Being a conservative is one thing. Being a Trump supporter is something else.
I think that's the point.
Jim is a conservative. Until he plugs in his internet.
The difference is these old guys have lived long enough to see through the bullshit to get to that point, just like this generation will
Well Corny just has to realize that most of his wrestling buddies are on the "Right"side of things like Kane ,Undertaker,Tammy/Sunny,Road Doug,Jerry Lawler,Honky Tonk Man
@Sub if you are against Antifa and BLM Trump in prison by 2024
Wait I’m stuck on Cornette’s politics. He really saying he drew the line on at doing a fundraiser for Donald Trump? That’s neither the worst thing Flair has done or even the worst politician a wrestler tried to help get elected.
Welcome to the mind of JC..Cornette is a goof when it comes to those things. Good talker and that's about it.
cornette has more in common with trump than he wants to admit
Cornette that bitches about taxes not being high enough, then gleefully talks about how he helped promoters cheat their taxes.
Cornette is 100% right about Trump.
Donald Trump is a terrible human being.
Does Jim Kno that Kenny was wrestling injured/hurt while the ring was spinning since he was wrestling having vertigo.....? And he still managed to have a badass match with Danielson.
That doesn't fit his agenda so he won't
It's a dam shame bruh. Just imagine what type of match Omega n Danielson could've had If Kenny wasn't injured n didn't have vertigo yo....
Bryan is the closest thing to Chris Benoit that we can have. He's the best wrestler of his generation.
Are you sure? Brie and the kids seem ok
@@ggali09 lmao 🤦🏻♂️
And Benoit wasn't a draw either.
Hey now, can't say that name anymore. Even though it's painfully obvious; the homages
@Fitzy Pretty sure Bryan Danielson main evented Wrestlemania's & many PPV's, That put @sses in seats. Let's not forget the "Yes Movement" went mainstream and the merchandise sales. Not too mention he is one of the top ten biggest wrestling names in the world right now (LITERALLY, If you do the analytics, He has the same media footprint as Shawn Michaels). And yes, He is one of the best wrestlers in the world. You can debate between Danielson, Styles, Omega, Gargano, Zayn, Cesaro, Okada, Sabre Jr., Tanahashi, Jay White, Kota Ibushi, Walter etc) At the end of the day, You got to go with who became the biggest name and actually drew some money. That would be Danielson. Now if I give my opinion based off personal bias, I think Jay White is the best wrestler in the world because I don't see anyone who has better ring psychology. I would say go watch the 2019 G1 Climax Finals if anyone wants to debate that.
Trump for president
Let’s see. In his 70s; fake tan; bad hair; delusional; thinks he’s God’s gift to women; loves his daughter maybe “a little too much” …how long till he announces Flair 2024?
Would be a upgrade from the current.
@@anubis8181 we’ve had enough 70 year olds in the spot for the next 100 years. Any job with an age minimum should have an age maximum.
We don't need any more celebrities who want to play president the same way we don't need anymore outlaw guys who want to play wrestler
😂
Trashing a buddy because you vote differently is a bit much. Flair is an older guy that’s had horrific alcohol abuse over decades. You can’t expect him to be walking around reading the archives of a newsletter like his son in law. I’m hoping the Omega comparison is AEW telling him to say that so they can bring him in as a manager cause again, I sure wouldn’t agree with that but to bury a friend that’s old and confused is a little rabid.
Let’s go Brandon!
I will continue to debate this case here as well because the fact of the matter is Bryan Danielson is a legend in the making . Period point blank .
I would argue he’s already a legend
In the making? He's been a legend already for 5yrs now lol
Can we say he is the greatest wrestler of his generation or does that distinction go to Okada?

Jim, you really should give up talking about politics. You damn sure have no room to criticize anybody for being a statist. It is nauseating. People can watch all the political shit on TV all day. No reason to add your noxious religious/statist beliefs. Just stop.
Just unscribe if you aren't aren't fan of the experience. Clearly you don't enjoy the show, why make yourself miserable

STOP TALKING ABOUT POLITICS JIM.
I wouldn't be casting stones considering Jims support of our current wretched president. I'm sorry but you have 0 credibility when it comes to politics.
Those who see politics as a game will support their "team" no matter what.
Danielson would wrestle circles around a Ric Flair in his prime. Ric deserves all the accolades he gets for being a consummate worker and professional in the 70s and 80s. His work in the 90s dropped off, and reached bottom tier levels by the late 90s. He stuck around in the ring for over a decade longer than he should. Ric was and is a better talker than Danielson but that’s where that ends. Danielson has had a longer, more vaunted career at the top of the business than Steamboat. He’s probably the best technical wrestler in the modern era. I think it’s just a case of nutty old man poo pooing the guy who’s getting all the love at the moment. He’s afraid that Danielson being as good as he is will hurt his own legacy. There’s no basis in reality for that mindset, but Ric doesn’t live in reality.
We'd be in a lot better place in this country if Donald Trump was president that's for sure Jim. How can Jim hate Jim herd but excuse Joe Biden?
No we wouldnt.
Flair is one of the most legendary wrestlers yet is also one of the most pathetic of all time.
😂👏👌
So to Jim, Rick's fine sexually abusing women, but draws the line anyone who compared Bryan Danielson to Kenny Omega.
Corny, I think you need to look at this and reevaluate your priorities
I like Danielson. I have since his ROH days. WWE wasn't his first stop and it didn't make him. He was already made.
As for Flair, I didn't see him in the 70s or the 80s. I saw him in WCW in the 90s and WWE in the 2000s. We all know what those times were like. I was watching a very different Ric Flair. So, no, I'm not drinking the Kool-Aid.
haha haha Bryan was already made before WWE? Don’t make me laugh son. Oops, already did.
I'd pay to see Corney vs Trump at wrestlemania
I know Corny is die hard Democrat, but since he brought up politics, does anyone know if he's impressed with the performance of the current Clown In Chief? I'd like to hear how he would rate that train wreck of a presidency. I do agree with his reaction to Flair's comments on Bryan Danielson. Corny knows his wrestling, even if politics just might not be his thing...LOL
It's not just politics he's confused about, but really the whole world IMO. I don't understand how someone who has spent that much time in a worked business is oblivious to the fact that everything that happens on our world is a work. He must actually think that the planet is run by politicians. Anyone with two eyes and a normal thinking brain can see that's definitely not the case (given the last 2 years especially!!!). There's no way he can be paying any attention to what Biden and Kamala have been doing (or NOT doing), and yet still stand on that side of the fence. His world view must be totally shaped by mainstream media. otherwise he'd have some kind of a clue. Again, it just totally blows my mind that someone can be so hip to a worked business like wrestling, but yet so clueless as to how our world really works. It's bizarre.
Trump 2024, If you know anything about politics, you know Biden and the democrats left the reservation.
@Dna Awesome!!! So true.
Gee so Ric Flair was ok until he doesn't agree politcally with Jim Cornette. Glad Jim can seperate the two like a logical human being. This is where Cornette basically insults half his audience and begins the process of alienating them. Stick to wrestling Jim...
Jim is going to have a meltdown in 2024. I will be listening intently.
I get Cornette’s frustration at Omega but he needs something else to complain about other than those 2 matches. Almost every member of the current rosters has some stupid equivalent indie moment. I imagine Danielson has probably done his own share in the past..
Almost everyone that has done work on the indies did something like what Kenny did. All you have to do is look
Heck, you don't even need to have an extensive indie career, even someone like Cena has pranced around in a thong next to his father, he also wore a hammock to the ring. Its something a lot more personal I reckon, either way Jim comes off as extremely demented.
@@timmi2198 yeah that's some personal mess between the two, as is with him and Russo
It sucks to see Flair going out sad like this. Its less about his opinion and more about his obsession with being relevant,which he’s a Legend and doesnt need to do. Its sad that he’ll say anything to appease anybody for a job or payday. He even put the Bucks over not long ago but never once mentioned FTR and its all because he wants a job. The more he’s talked since that dark side episode,the less and less integrity you realize he has.
Does Ric know Bryan straight up choked out a home invader in AZ 5 or so years ago? Dude could probably go through most of the locker room.
Wut? Sauce?
There lot guys and girls in the WWE locker room with legitimate backgrounds that would kick Bryan's ass. Bryan jui-jitsu expirence is that of a hobbyist and a lot of that was when he was on the road regularly. Because he does submissions in his matches, peopl just assume he's a good jui-jitsu practitioner, when hasnt even competitively. There a lot of people in WWE who were trained fulltime in a martial art for several years before joining the WWE.
@@jessepaiz6356 Agreed; Daniel Bryan could easily beat up anyone his size and weight, but most of the WWE locker room are taller and heavier than him, his amateur MMA won't help him there.
Bryan Danielson helped mint Adam Page as a serious Champion. That final buckshot lariat when he stopped to take a break from exhaustion but knew he had to go further.
You can read that he is seriously going to keep the title and you are going to have to beat him to a pulp to get it.
Brian said it before ‘feels like there is something missing, I don’t know’ I believe that was seeing Adam Page as a true contender.
Now after that grueling battle, everyone knows Adam Page is a true contender.
At this moment, I think Bryan Danielson is legit the best pro wrestler currently in the World today.
@@travismurell5228 I believe you are correct, his song is so inspiring, very appropriate and his work is Ric Flair level in/out of the Ring.
Honestly still keep thinking about Tony Khan’s terrified look in his eyes when Bryan was doing their first press conference.
“This man is going to hurt someone” look, it was such a good indication of Bryan’s future heel turn.
Brillant. Bryan said it himself, “At my age I am at the end of my career but it actually feels like I’m just starting, that I can do more”
@@Peachy_Tiger Agree with both of you. This is Bryan's best run of matches since his ROH days, and his best character work since the Yes movement.
Let’s not act like the Kenny story didn’t originally get him over. And the Kenny match was very good also
And people are saying Cornette's out of touch...pssshhh
I like the guy but Jim is definitely out of touch
Jim certainly has a lot of "back in my day/these damn kids today" type of out of touch takes, but Flair is just totally on a different planet from reality at this point.
Daniel bryan is a worse version than chris benoit tbh.
Jim is delusional!!
Doesn't like Omega cos "wrestled a girl".
IGNORES the bad Cole/Bucks stuff.
Apparently unaware Daniel danced with Kenny in the indies...
@@darrengordon-hill he calls out the bucks and Adam cole shit. Stop making shit up
Long Live Corny!!
Just heard Flair's clip talking about this and all I could think about during it is how Corny is going to have a stroke hearing this 🤣
Link please
From ROH, JAPAN, WWE(Team Hell No, the Yes movement, the planetary heel, his time in the Wyatt family) now in AEW, Danielson has been always great.
The fact that corny hates Donald Trump as much as I do makes me like him more.
Life is so great right now.
Jim, if you don't think trump should be in the white house, I can't take anything you say seriously every again.
Ric is right.
Bryan isnt Kenny
Bryan isnt Steamboat
Bryan isnt Flair
He is way better 🤣🤣
Flair > Bryan and it’s not even close.
It’s insane how bad he hates omega. lol.
I wish jim would keep politics out of wrestling, who gives a fuck if someone is a trump supporter, get over it
#1 sheamus kicking daniel bryan's head off, in 18 seconds, is what "made" him....because he was by far and away the best wrestler in wwe (2011) and the fans were pisst about getting cheated out of the match, at wrestlemania. #2 did ricky steamboat have fans hijacking shows in his honour? danielson is the bret hart of his era. he is THEE fucking technician who is so good he doesn't need catchphrases to be over with people and even then he still had the yes/no stuff for years. ----he's always been a great heel. again, 2011: DB had the briefcase and kept trying to cash in on mark henry and the big show. it got called off once because henry was injured, henry loses to big show->lays him out after the match and DB cashes in. this leads to a 3 way feud in which the small man, DB, is the heel. he keeps ducking and dodging and escaping his title matches against those 2 giants. it was fucking great. i remember it led up to him being in the chamber and coming down to him and santino and the fans were all in on santino finally beating him....which of course didn't happen. sheamus got the belt. (funny thing is fans had really liked sheamus at that point and him beating DB put an incredible stink on the rest of his career. people just kinda done with em all because of bad booking).
When a person gets over while working effin LAMEOUS , you know he is legit.
I wouldn't say that he's Bret hart of this era because that's
A
J
Styles.
aj styles isn't a technician.
@@Krokodilius you should see his matches in ROH. He can wrestle any style.
That's when Shaemus was doin the ninja turtles movie hence the mohawk.
I haven't watched professional wrestling since 2002 but I like corny's rants
Same here - last wrestling I watched was the WCW show where WWF took over. I tried watching whatever that show is on twitch that runs 24/7 - I lasted about 2 minutes - it was lame.
It's just his opinion, not a big deal. People like what they like. Maybe he is working an angle, either way it's not a big deal.
4:15 I think this was Jim trying to laugh to keep from crying.
As funny as this artwork is, I think another fitting version would be a LotR: 2 Towers scene where Wormtongue Helmsley is whispering ideas into the ear of a mindless, aggressively-aged King Flair.
Lol you’re such a nerd 😂
@@jamied4486 Thanks
Good idea.
@@jamied4486 woah woah he’s a dweeb but still good idea even though I have no idea what their comment means.
@@scottthegeneticfreaksteine393 lmao
You wanna know great Bryan is, he had a 1 hour match and then was doing fucking jumping jacks in the ring to get heat
How does that make you a great pro wrestler though?
Road Warriors could work 30 seconds, and drew more money than Danielson could draw in 6 months.
@@danielburger1775 I was taking about ability, not drawing power per say.
@@arnavbhagwat4232 What good is "ability" if it's not used to draw?
@@danielburger1775 Bryan had people doing his 'Yes' chant from Bombay to fucking Boston and everywhere I between. Bryan is a fucking draw
@@arnavbhagwat4232 How is that a draw? If people were already in the building, then they could do the Yes thing. Same story with Sid. If people were already there, they would pop for him.
But note the "if people were already there".
People bought tickets to see guys like Dusty, Hogan, Austin etc. I sincerely doubt anywhere remotely in the same number of people bought tickets to see Daniel Bryanson.
Again, if people were already there, they could do Yes Yes Yes.
And I'm quite sure many people doing the Yes thing at different events have no idea who he even is.
I heard Flair say that the best wrestlers today are Kenny Omega AJ Styles and Randy Orton.
I'm going out on a limb here....But I think this is Rick doing a work? What would be better for him to show up at AEW and already have heat with Brian? I agree with Brian that this is Danielson's best work. PS.....Your not much of a friend if you condemn that friend for his political beliefs.
I'm done with Jim Cornette. I used to think he was smart but he has such a hard on for Donald Trump I cannot stand it anymore.
Donald d******?
That's not how you spell Biden, Jim.
Nah
Flair is straight up delusional about Bryan and Triple H. Bryan was several magnitudes more over than HHH was when they fought at Mania 30, Trips was the one who was being done a favour by working with Bryan in that match.
BAHAHAHAHA!!!
Bryan Danielson drew ZERO DIMES in ROH.
WWE made him a superbabyface!!
ACKNOWLEDGE WWE!!!
Danielson COULD ALWAYS "wrestle".
The guy you see today exists BECAUSE WWE!!!
Don't believe me?
Look at Jay Lethal.
That one quote shows Ric Flair for what he is "you have that one great defining match".... then proceed to do the exact same spots you did in that one for the next 40 years
Danielson is probably, at the moment, the best wrestler in the world.
Has been for several years
not even close dude. ever heard of WALTER??? HELL NO WAY
At present time.....the only people id put over him are Shingo Takagi or Okada....maybe Ospreay but its a cointoss .
@@arturoalmazan5262
If WALTER wrestled more than 3 times a year hed be number one
@@madddoggnogood1491 Dude the Walter vs Druganov match last year was the best match in a long time. where was Bryan at ? he certainly was not at his level. for a big man being 6 fett plus and weighing close to 270 pounds He's a very agile man and he certainly knows wrestling. Bryan wouldn't last a minute with him.
nature warrior heel Brian is the best version of Brian ever.
I don't like AEW, but Danielson or Bryan or whatever you wanna call him, is one of the greatest right now only second to AJ Styles. Don't know what Ric is going through but Danielson is wrestling circles around almost everyone right now.
I think him and AJ are tied for this generation's best. Omega and Okada are right behind them
Mr Cornette your opinion of Trump has exactly zero to do with wrestling therefore it something you should keep to yourself. you could have hundreds of thousands of more viewers if you would refrain from giving your opinion on politics and religion!
he doesn’t care cry about it
I’ll play Devil Advocate. If Ric gets into AEW at least we can get one more segment with him and Jay Lethal.
That's my line....no that's my line...lol 😅🤣
@Fitzy 🤣🤣🤣
Triple H said it best when talking about Flair and his son in developmental: “Flair is a consummate liar”
I unsubscribed to Flairs channel a while back when he put Pockets over. I respect who he was but not who he is
orange Cassidy is the greatest post modern gimmick in wrestling history
Ric Flair's credibility just went out the window he's alienated so many people in his life he just talks out of his ass who did you really have a relationship with anymore surely not Arn Anderson or Tully Blanchard does anyone even like the guy anymore
Flair is based? Dope lol 🇺🇲
