Jim Cornette on Vince Russo's Old Ideas For A New Women's Wrestling Promotion

[@MilMaska]

"I had to spend eleven months in the same room with Vince Russo and Vince McMahon, that's where I really got to hate life in general." - Jim Cornette

[@Gsmooth84]

That's how I feel now but for "other" reason similar and much longer.

[@wingerding]

Russo's a twat but I don't think he really tried too hard to convince anyone he was partially responsible for attitude. At that point it was still somewhat believed that he was. They didn't release he was super shit yet, that's why he could still get big job offers..

[@jamesd4223]

I don’t think I’ve ever gone through so many emotions so quick. As soon as Brian said toxic shock(the “no strings attached” line had me actually saying NO out loud)my jaw dropped. The rest of the video I think I went through laughing, crying, utter shock, and deep thought about how this guy made anything in wrestling work.

This is such a fascinating insight into the mind of Russo. I would have found that pitch genuinely hilarious when I was a teenage boy with stunted emotional intelligence, ie a child without a fully developed brain and little understanding or experience of the world around me. For Russo to have written this around the age of 40 was truly disturbing; for him to still find it funny around age 60 is even more disturbing. We all act childish and immature sometimes but this is different to that. It's worrying. The man has obvious psychological issues which could be harmful to others.

This takes me back to when Prichard did an episode on Russo and after getting annoyed after going through one of Russo books where he basically takes credit for every good idea of the attitude era and said that everybody in the WWF didn’t have a clue how to write good TV and mentioning some other promotion idea he had that he kept away because he thought Vince would ruin it. And Bruce eventually gets snarky saying how he’s sure that idea was gangbusters since he kept it from Vince and Conrad gives him a hard time for it. But when you look at his track record outside of the WWF and then hear things like this we’re all his it helps put Bruce and getting exasperated in better context. It makes more sense how aggravating it must be to hear somebody constantly take credit for everything good, pass the buck on a lot of the bad, and label everybody else as being out of touch and denying that he ever had or needed a filter hearing him write about something this absurd being an idea that he had on his own. When you look at what comes out of the guy when he doesn’t have somebody around to shoot down crazy stuff obviously he succeeded when he was in an environment where he could pump out a ton of ideas and had people who could pick out the viable ones and tweak them. Because for a guy who didn’t have a filter in the WWF he sure never had the same success or quality of ideas anywhere else and the things he’s put out that were his sole creations outside of the WWF aren’t simply bad they’re generally batshit absurd to the extent it’s hard to believe a person could have pitched this to somebody sincerely and not as some idiotic prank

​@@joetamburello6292Shut up.

[@JackTheripper911]

​@@joetamburello6292Lol no, its far more enjoyable listening to his pure hatred of that embarrassment of the human race.

[@countbrackmoor]

So Russo basically wanted to create a Garbage Pail Kids wrestling league?

[@theLongPigChef]

I've fallen down the rabbit hole of audio of Cornette sh*tting on Vince Russo. This is the 4th video today. This is great.

[@arostwocents]

It's sad as it makes loads of people copy him and hate Russo when actually Russo wrestling was so much better than modern stuff. Id happily have Russo writing TNA again now. You'd actually have characters and storylines and it would be fun and interesting. Now it's just boring. Their MVP Joe Hendry doesn't even have a storyline or feud 😂

[@theLongPigChef]

@@arostwocents Well I guess someone must have liked what he was doing or he wouldn't have had a job. Never thought I would meet that person.

[@Andress550]

someone needs to make a full animation of this segment lmao

[@cerebraltackle]

The second I saw Toxic Shock, I thought of Von Erich. 🤣🤣🤣

[@georgebeamer]

14:51 holy shit, Brian lmao thats one of them deep laughs. I'm in stitches

[@TomMcCormickGuitar]

If there was EVER a video version of the podcast, this is the one episode I would pay a ridiculous amount of money to see Jim and Brians faces as this segment was progressing😂 Dear god hahhahaha.

[@NaZtRdAmUs]

I misheard that and though it was "my teenage love of glue" lol.

[@zlinedavid]

I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue

[@jediknight1294]

That... Would explain a LOT about Russo's work in wrestling

[@karendouglas798]

Jim is like appalled and bewildered simultaneously at times 😂😂

[@SheltonHull]

This is insane. Total madness. Please continue!

[@jacobyellesbury5880]

I would like to speak to standards and practices of this podcast for making me spit my energy drink out driving to work because I laughed so hard 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I hope Jim never stops doing podcasts 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Jatycre]

My god. I haven’t laughed that hard in forever. Vince, if you still hadn’t figured it out, we’re laughing AT you. Just like Jeff Jarrett was the whole time.

[@zlinedavid]

Except JJ had the added bonus of laughing at you and getting paid at the same time.
