"Even back in my younger days, when I could get as hard as Chinese arithmetic..." My new favorite Corny quote, lol!

[@MrJjburgess11]

I literally LOLed at that one

[@raccooneyes2099]

@@MrJjburgess11 omg i did too. i cracked up so loud i woke the dead.

[@SpaceGhost92]

Deadpool I have to imagine Jim is either packing a little chode, or some massive Mandingo type shit. There is no in between.

[@jimreily7538]

He's got some awesome ones that I've never even heard of before. I used to have them all from around 2010 or that approximate time in a notepad file but not sure if I still have it

[@SuperDevolution]

Cornette has some of the funniest tangents I've ever heard.

[@broderickwiggins1998]

Yes he does.

[@georgenoriegajr]

Corny's Ernie Ladd impression NEVER gets old.

Jim Cornette shooting on anything for twenty minutes is more entertaining then anything Raw has produced over the last ten years.

Then why do you watch WWE?

[@davidratty2242]

So tell us what was it you enjoyed ten years ago..

[@ladistar]

TL2354 I don’t, I watched maybe ten minutes of raw ten years ago and haven’t watched since. It’s awful

[@ladistar]

@Mista Un Known I don't know what you're so pissed about, I mean I've seen one or two episodes of Raw since the late 2000's and frankly I think the modern WWE is awful. No good characters or storylines anymore. Listening to old promos and shoot interviews from guys like Cornette, Flair, Bobby the Brain Heenan, etc. are a lot more entertaining than anyone on the present WWE roster.

[@ronsoyesmickeymousetattoos4020]

Turns out he lost his hair in a bet. Jake's opponent had 21, Jake had 22.

[@mrsrex]

I got 2 of those too!!

O.J. owes Cornette $5000 and also owes an apology for ruining that years NBA finals Houston Rockets/NY Knicks!

[@CaptainColdyron222]

arpegio88 that time he ruined the NBA finals led to one of the best prank phone calls in history though. An angry Knicks fan called into ABC pretending to be O.J. Simpson’s neighbor. He dropped a Baba Booey on PeterJennings at the end.

[@HyperActive7]

The van scene reminds me of when I was a kid, everyone's watching All Dogs Go To Heaven and I don't know what the hell is going on because I'm up front. Wasn't until we stopped that I realized.. Shit, I missed a good movie!

Chael Sonnen doing his best Jim Cornette impression

[@kevinmoore2929]

I can just imagine Jim on a Southwest flight out of Amarillo going south and the plane is staying just ahead of a dust storm out of the north. You haven't flown until you've seen a GIANT wall of dust behind your plane and it's steadily gaining on you

Try to find a recent pic of Jake, Scott Hall and DDP together smiling. They all have the exact same teeth in their individual mouths. I love them all but that's some scary shit. Same dentist, I guess. I told my dentist never, ever to do that to me.
