I loved the "NWA Invasion" in WWF angle of 1998. I couldn't get enough of it. I even had my buddy tape "Shotgun Saturday Night" so that I could see it. I had been done watching the WWF's programming (for years) until the NWA Invasion angle made me a regular viewer again. I stopped watching the WWF again after the NWA and Severn left, and I have never started watching that promotion's new material again. I also thought that the New Midnight Express were good NWA World tag team champions. I always thought that Cornette had a lot to do with those, and I always gave him credit where credit was due, but if Cornette doesn't want credit for some great stuff...

I didn’t mind the NWA angle that much at the time, as honestly, the presentation sounds about as competent as a Crash TV era WWF angle can be when you break it down and analyze it. Even then you basically knew they weren’t trying to present the group as a threat to Austin, but like a lot of Attitude era stuff, it sounds like something that if you took it out of the context of that loaded show and put on TV in today’s climate would probably have a better result because of the way the show is structured. Back then, it was all short matches and onto the next angle. Agreed they totally dropped the ball on Severn. I could see him and Corny working in a Brock/Heyman like way if they showed a bit of restraint with him.

It's January 1998 and the Rumble is coming soon that month and Steve Austin had told everyone that were in the WWF Royal Rumble are going to get Stunned or attacked by Stone Cold first before they could do him in. That night on WWF Raw Austin had already attacked The Rock and Ken Shamrock breaking up their match and dropping both of them with Double Stunners. Then he jumped Mark Henry backstage and dropped him with a Stunner as well. Then Steve Austin attacked Mark Meroe in the ring when Steve Austin broke up a match and dropped Mero with a massive Stunner then making fun of Mero's Boxing background which brought on a Smile to Sables face after what Austin did to her Husband when Austin left the ring. Later that night Jarrett has his NWA North American Title Match in which he wins the NWA North American Title. As Jarrett is Celebrating, Steve Austin jumps Jeff Jarrett spinning him around and hitting a Stunner knocking him out cold, Then Austin Makes fun of Jarrett's Walk (Struts) and flips Jarrett the bird. Steve Austin would go on throughout the night Stunning and attacking the other Wrestlers who were in the Rumble as well.

Jim's knowledge is as flawless as his ability to rightfully hold a grudge towards Russo 🤘🤘

[@gamerschannel9610]

I see Jim Cornette and Vince Russo in the same title, I click!

[@ladistar]

Same hahahahahahaha

[@jimreily7538]

It's a must

[@kwrbt2979]

lol'd at the Beaver Cleavage reference. Wow. That was all the way down the memory hole

[@courtlandrobinson]

I never knew how much Russo just completely ruined angles in wrestling it’s unbelievable. He’s also responsible for killing off WCW

[@stuart3753]

Hogan, bischoff and Nash had a hand in that as well

[@flashfunk0373]

Hogan, Bischoff and Nash did it first.

[@travisedwardmiller]

15:58 "Hey can you get a bumpin' ho for Tuesday in Phoenix?" LOL

[@MichaelSmith-fq6hz]

"We all had to go to Fresno." I'm so sorry

[@jrsmith1998]

no such thing as a spirit animal

[@joedriskill2688]

“Well, we can’t get anything done, Vince because he’s pointing out what’s wrong with everything I say.” - Shitstain “Because I was pointing out what was wrong with everything fucking thing he said.” - JC 😂😂😂

[@waterbottle4782]

I just love me some Vince Russo rants by Mr Jim Cornette.

[@pittsburghbob69]

Being a bigger early and current UFC fan than wrestling, Cornette is completely right about Severn and the early Samrock/Severn UFC fights. Even today, I think Severn says, he would only come out of retirement for another Samrock fight. But yes, looking back, they sure did botch the Severn/Samrock booking in the WWF.

[@spaceracer23]

How many "invasions" did Vince manage to screw up? NWA ECW WCW

[@daedaethomas47]

OvW

[@singaporesammy]

NXT. Twice. Nexus and Retribution.

[@jenniferrenolds2226]

Retribution

[@jenniferrenolds2226]

Lol smarks. Think the y smarter than Vince

[@jamessd4487]

On one of the WWE RAW Attitude Era w/ Vince Russo Archive episodes, Russo talks about this angle and doesn’t say it was Cornettes Idea, more that it was his own. The reason being to give Bart and holly some tv time, he also said “I knew Jim would love it” referring to bringing back NWA

[@toma.4808]

Cornie is a walking encyclopedia.

[@chrissawyer1484]

See, I thought that working with the NWA was Cornette's idea, but the way that Jarrett match happened was all on Vince and Ed. This one is very interesting to me.

[@conniecarroll7222]

And have good records

[@ellemarr7234]

That Bob Holly match in SMW was uploaded to YT. I enjoyed it because it was believable. Man I miss those days

[@SpiralPoli]

Bob Holly is one of the greatest workers imo. He's so intense and believable. He's had so many great underrated matches. He's my favorite wrestler of all time. Wrestling's most unsung hero.

[@sgtraytango]

"I bet that even Shitstain liked Jeff." True, he put Jarrett over as the main heel in WCW after Bret Hart retired and WCW under Russo had that big push towards putting the younger talent over in the final two years, with Booker T as the main babyface headliner against Jarrett and Scott Steiner.

[@taylork7530]

I saw this and thought that this must’ve been a short episode. Then, I realized that this one segment, alone, was a little over an hour long. Welp, Jim did spend 45 min talking about Russo before, so this isn’t really a stretch.

[@JohnDoe-ym5ly]

So funny that Stone Cold came out and stunned Jarrett, and buried an already valueless title, as its debut

[@richaffinito5112]

The nwa was garbage before stone cold stunned anyone. He didn’t bury anything. The mere implication that he did isn’t only misinformed, it’s stupid, and shows you have no idea about wrestling history in the 90’s. Period.

[@MrHawkelement]

@@richaffinito5112 You're not good at listening to videos you click on; That was the first exposure they got to that big of an audience and THAT was the beginning on national television. It had a chance to be built up, at least on WWF television, but instead....They had a shitty match and the winner got randomly stunned by Austin with no follow-up. Btw, you said "-shows you have no idea about wrestling history in the 90’s. Period." That's the point. It wasn't known about/exposed on national tv until this match occurred and THIS was how they chose to introduce it. Fucking pointless.

[@FlowzenKing]

Is there a site where I can find the Nate Bash Song This Is Why, which was played at the end of this episode?

[@BOBBYSOX86]

"Sundee" and "Mundee"

[@Hyde_Hill]

Small correction. The Rock and Roll had been on national TV in 96. They where for instance on the infamous Nitro where Scott Hall came from the crowd.

[@cameron3578]

You used infamous incorrect. Just famous.

[@holmesmoss540]

Damn. Over an hour. He must really not like that guy lol.

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

Courney said he wanted to out live Russo just so he can piss on his grave 😂 yeah he hates Russo BAD!!

[@jesterr7133]

An hour long segment about Shitstain!?! This is going to be good.
