Go back and watch the Table for 3...well I did. Bischoff did tell JC that what he heard was BS but Cornette immediately followed up with, "well why didn't you deny it," and Bischoff responded with "I felt I didn't need to," which started throwing up red flags for me. In the Table for 3 Bischoff admitted to not remembering the incident, in this interview he denies it ever happened, and after telling me to watch the Table for 3 he makes a statement that either discredits his forgetting the incident or contradicts his statement that the conversation never happened in the first place. Also, I have no idea what Bischoff is talking about with Corny looking flushed unless the video was edited for color correction but that doesn't appear to be the case. An old fashioned worker like Corny undoubtedly believes his own BS but Bischoff is not above getting high on his own supply. This truth of what happened is about as clear as a catfish pond. Regardless, controversy creates cash and Bischoff and Corny know how to work a good feud. Props to both of 'em.

I think there are so many possibilities of what might have happened that we will just never know.

And I think there’s a very good possibility that that’s exactly what Jim was told I don’t think Jim is lying about that part but I don’t think Bill told Jim that he was really going to be let go because of a remark that was considered racist came out that Bill had said. There have been so many people from WCW and Turner say that that I have a hard time believing that it just didn’t happen. I mean does anyone really know Bill Watts So well that who’s to say that Bill went and watched The promos that he and Jim cut on each other and Bill decided to edit it and just blame it on somebody else. I don’t know if that is what happened but all we know about their relationship is that Jim really respects him but it’s not like Bill and Jim hung out all the time. The other theory is is that if Bill was on his way out the door we know WCW was either going to let Eric or Tony (which Tony has said he really didn’t want the job) run WCW and there is a very good possibility that while they were trying to figure that out that someone from Turner edited it and by the time Eric got the job that had already been done. If that’s what happened then no we will really never know what happened because it’s not like any of the people that do these wrestling shoots knew who from the Turner organization was working hand-in-hand with WCW at the time.

A lot of how Jim would have booked that storyline is VERY Russo-esque. Cornette says it himself in the video, if he was in charge of WWF creative during The Invasion angle, he would have had the wrestlers openly admit to the fans that the “fix is in” as he put it, meaning admitting to the audience that the matches are predetermined and they would have been legitimately shooting on each other both in the ring and on the microphone.

Eric Bishoff had to shut up Jim cornette with those lines fr ! Which is wow because Cornette never shuts up!

[@fishyboi98]

Bischoff vs. Cornette is the kind of feud that writes itself. They are polar opposites in so many ways. Cornette is the old-school wrasslin' guy who values the tradition of the business over anything else. Bischoff is far more modern, slightly closer to the sports entertainment side of wrestling. (I use that term btw as a way to refer to wrestling up until the start of the Monday Night Wars.) Bischoff understands wrestling has to change with the times, Cornette still sees value in the classic styles. Cornette is a guy who knows how to manage a faction, Bischoff has arguably never had long-term success with factions. Bischoff is the far better writer of the two, as Cornette doesn't know when to concede that his ideas aren't the best. Yet, they're so similar in so many ways. They don't tolerate bullshit, they both love the business, and they've both seen just how bad the back-stage politics of wrestling can get. I think disenfranchised with modern wrestling is a great way to describe both of them. They are old-ass men who've done it all in the business, with very different ideas on what the business should be. Some might say that Cornette's nemesis is Russo, but I'd argue it's Bischoff.

[@fishyboi98]

On the topic of this video, Bischoff knows exactly what to say to piss Cornette off. Compares him to Russo, calls him a circus act, accuses him of having stooges.

[@factfiend1000]

Cornette was in charge of the NWA stable in WWF back in the Attitude Era. Imagine that playing into cross promotional angle. NWA vs NWO, WCW vs WWF.

[@BenBrislawn]

I enjoy listening to Jim Cornette for his encyclopedia of wrestling knowledge but Eric is right. Cornette is incredibly thin skinned. What makes it worse is his "Cult of Cornette" who live off of every opinion he says thinking it must be true and anyone who disagrees is wrong. Jim has repeatedly said his liking of wrestling is limited in types of styles i.e. doesn't like women's wrestling, Lucha Libre, Japanese and hardcore wrestling among others. Also, he loves to rip people for killing the business and rightfully so. However, he is a huge Vince McMahon apologist for what he has done in the last 20 years.

[@borisVspider66]

He doesn't apologise at all for VKM over the last 20yrs but does for some of the 1st 20yrs.. I find Jim hilarious but you have to take alot of it with a pinch of salt.. & anyone looking to rebuke what Jim says only has to watch the god awful product that was OVW circa 2000.. it has example after example of Jim doing everything he claims to despise about AEW today on a weekly basis & calling out AEW after producing that abortion in Louisville for years is as funny to me as Jim is with his Drive thru & The Experience podcasts. The guy is a legend but often full of hilarious shit.. Eric however us just full of shit & an expert in massaging the truth so that practically nothing significant was ever his fault (or Hogans).

I just watched the "Table for 3". When Hayes asks Cornette about Bischoff not being in charge, Corny doesn't hesitate for a second, he continues talking. Corny then immediately recalls the car Bischoff arrived in (a Corvette) and Bischoff confirms that. When asked why he didn't deny editing the video, he says, "I didn't feel I needed to..."
