Bonus Drive Thru: Jim Cornette on Paul Heyman

[@tylerbushong3452]

Lance Storm put it absolutely best: “In ECW we broke all the rules. Then we found out why there are rules in the first place.”

[@christopheracosta7658]

Paul may not be everyone's favorite, but you have to respect his mic work. This guy is a legend on cutting promos.

[@NewNormalWorldOrder]

Look up “paul heyman ytps” You won’t regret it

[@jtboss8139]

No. His promos r terrible

[@Stensonite]

@@jtboss8139you’re an idiot

[@Madmetalmaniac42069]

Corny is one of the few people whose podcast I listen to and don't get upset if he re-tells a story, because every time he tells it, its just as entertaining the second or third time as it is the first.

[@mattbentzley9820]

Listening to his stories, always cheers me up when I have bad day at work.

[@tallthinkev]

Bruce Prichard too.

[@mikawhofan]

i love when Bruce does the impersonations..

[@lukemcinerny8220]

I agree, I just wish he'd lay off politics or do a different show dedicated to that type of stuff, if I'm here to listen to his wrestling knowledge which is undeniable I don't want to here about his bs opinions on politics which are always just making a caricature out of the other side, and worse its clear he knows nothing about the issues he rants about. And I'd say the same if he where a conservative.

[@abcsin6526]

Very true

[@pylertyler]

Heyman and Cornette are my 2 favorite minds in wrestling.

[@ravenstrahd5234]

Paul Heyman was a better booker than Russo ever will be. Paul ran a wrestling promotion well with limited resources. Russo bankrupted Dixie Carter and made her lose a tv deal with Spike tv. Paul Heyman did a great job. Russo lasted a year at WCW, Paul was there a lot longer.

[@dennisbowen452]

to be fair, hogan and bischoff also ran tna into the ground.

[@gothard5]

I think Paul E would have been better than Michael Hayes on that Table for 3 with Corny and Eric.

[@DmReddd24]

Think they needed a mediator can't have all 3 at eachother's throats lol

[@Oldschool1943]

gothard5 *paul heyman

[@gothard5]

saltsyde phil yes, that's what I said. Paul Heyman, formerly known as Paul E Dangerously.

[@timf7413]

Hayes was there because he was the company guy who knew both and could play traffic cop.

[@GodlessScummer]

Yeah that would've been good. There's always been a grudging respect between Corny and Heyman. They don't necessarily like each other but there is respect there.

[@Destino2493]

I’ll remember Paul Heyman as the booker of the golden era of SmackDown with the SD 6 Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Edge, Kurt Angle, Rey Mysterio and Undertaker it sucked that Vince was so jealous and pissed that SD was better than Raw he fired Heyman and it wasn’t as good after he left

[@craigusselman546]

Paul did a promo that he got so worked up he was drooling at the end- corny gave himself a nosebleed both guys are amazing.

[@stormydavis8546]

Ya gotta just LOVE the stories that Corny tells!

[@stormydavis8546]

Can't believe he brought up the Paul Jones as hitler bit...... LMAO

[@jihmns]

as unbelievably good as Corny's Drive Thru is, the bonus drive thru audio is fucking amazing.

[@cretinousjester3475]

"How does he still do what he does???".......for the same reason you would Jim- he loves the business. Maybe differently than you but it's still love for a dying art.

[@melbias5046]

He gets paid what else would he do? End up in jail for a scam he would pull.

[@SirTrig]

Wouldn't say dying, it's just not the cool thing on the market anymore which honestly, never should've been mainstream because it sorta tarnished the business as it brought in fans who think real wrestling is swearing and doing basic punches, which legit anyone in their first month of wrestling training can do.

[@bryanelam7431]

Paul wasn't telling fibs to Cornette, he was telling stone cold back stopping lies to Cornette!

[@thehighjedi5109]

Cornette channeled my grandmother for this one. “He fibbed to me”. 😂

[@TheSlammurai]

I love both Heyman and Cornette. They both have great minds for wrestling, they both have great stories, and they both tell those stories greatly.

[@stevesmith1496]

Look at the bright side, if it was a Hair vs Hair Iron Man Match, Jim has definitly won that match, hands down!!

[@smarkslowplay3512]

Jim already won it in the early 90s

[@dubuyajay9964]

@@PsychopathicSavior How so and why?

[@impalaman9707]

Jim Cornette used to say some of the funniest things about Paul during the Midnight vs. Original Midnight feud. I remember a few times in promos he would say, "Paul is a poor imitation of me. He;s got a 'Jim Cornette Joke book' in his back pocket trying to be me." That was one of his greatest lines ever! I would try to imagine where I could buy a "Jim Cornette Joke Book", just the idea of one sounded hillarious! Actually, all the wrestlers and managers that came out of Memphis were natural comedians, Jerry Lawler could make up fiunny one liners like that, too!

[@cretinousjester3475]

My favorite was "Aw shut up Paul E. Whenever you tell a story it always has a happy ending. People are glad that it's over".....XD Lmao.

[@kevinmoore2929]

It would be a massive undertaking but having a compilation of Jim's best one liners would be great!

[@tomwalker389]

8:55 Corny has suffered more legit than 99% of MMA fighters in history.

[@JoseFlores-xc7wu]

I just to hate him and the midnight express back in the late 80s when they work on nwa/ wcw he was a great heel manager but as i got older i started to appreciate him cause he was one of the few people in the wrestling business that was real and keep it real and told things like they where. I remember when he rip on everybody that was working on wcw and he wasn't even working for wwf but he rip everybody he is awesome

[@Cincinnatijames]

Anyone find the promo Paul gave that had Flair fire him?

[@WildBillCox13]

For those with an interest, here's the match: www.dailymotion.com/video/x1a22dt

[@So_Toasty]

Imagine if you could get a wrestling promotion with James E. Cornette and Paul Heyman as head bookers, and Dirty Dutch as a checks and balance tie breaker third booker along with the brain of Dusty (which has a text to speech device).and Ric Flair as the Kayfabe GM/MC and occasionally color guy, with JR at the table with Tony S. A man can dream...

[@juansanchez209]

If you add Vince Russo as the head writer this becomes every wrestling fan’s dream.

[@So_Toasty]

@@juansanchez209 ...Eh? I dont Russo as much as nearly everyone else. I think if you have a filter for him, someone with wrestling knowledge and can shoot down some of the more bewildering ideas, that isn't too bad of an idea.

So funny they asked if Cornette hated him more than Russo haha. Nobody hates someone as much as Jim does to Russo

[@CraigSmithII]

Listening back at this, Bruce Prichard was right about Corny & Heyman. He told both of them that Cornette is a Southern version of Paul Heyman & Heyman was a Northern version of Cornette

[@bahmat]

Paul Heyman will laugh when you say he's full of shit because he knows and acknowledges he's full of shit. Not a fan of hardcore matches, but love him still the same.

Heyman stole most of his ideas from Championship Wrestling from Florida, hardly innovative. Cornette paid talent, Heyman did not.

[@cameronmccarthy6359]

Bon Louis Paul E is the man not innovative my ass the wwe attitude era is because of Paul get off the drugs

[@Charsi_Escobar]

cameron mccarthy he made the attitude era by hyping all those guys up to destroy their bodies for no pay, until he sold to Vince and fucked over many guys (Dudley’s, Dreamer, etc.) Great talent on the mic, but a lying, pathetic excuse for a businessman.

That's one thing you could tell - Flair was not the one to be a booker. I mean he is on the list with Kevin Nash being head booker in WCW. Also that technically could be the first pipebomb ever in professional wrestling. Never mind the "Hulk Hogan, we comin for you N***a" one, I do really think Heyman's promo there could have pretty much been the pipebomb.

[@alkiline9199]

So Eddie Gilbert was a big Paul e backer who gave him aal his spots at wcw and then Paul e stole everything from Eddie at ecw? All this is according to Jim's own words. Bullshit. He says heyman lies, but shit cornette is miles worse

2 great minds of the business the only thing Jim didn't like has he states here is the extreme part Jim doesn't think it's wrestling. Why he hates Russo because of the attitude era, Jim has looked at ECW and AE and seen it's good at the time but what about near the end when people are injured with life threatening injuries and that the stars don't get any support and have or are fogtten once they've done what they do and it's true

[@1965kdb]

He's right about pretty much everything except gun control. He's also a bit of a hypocrite on the animal rights bullshit because he has this weird idea that it's okay to eat meat as long as you don't go out and kill it yourself. By his logic almost all farmers and anyone who works in a slaughterhouse should be vegetarians.

[@xGodofAcidx]

"Jim Cornette shouldn't talk about things on which he disagrees with me!"

He is so damn jealous of the fact that Paul Heyman was and is a better booker, promoter and overall talent than he could ever dream of being. I understand his anger and bitterness it sucks when you try real hard and fail miserably. If he would of picked a different line of work maybe he wouldn't be so angry, jealous and bitter.

[@Sweeptheleg83]

Jason Voorheese Well of course the fat pig from New York is better than him.. Hell even Vince Russo was better than him and that kinda tell's you everything you need to know about Cornette.

[@nAmE7056]

No not at all but that is more things people remember about Vince Russo as opposed to Jim Cornette who nobody remembers anything about other than he's the guy that cries cause his wrestling promotion was shit and he ran it out of business then he joined a real wrestling origination and was shit there also and then he got fired and no one really noticed.
