As soon as Marko Stunt came out I could hear Cornette cursing in my head

[@TheJuise26]

The “beach crackhead” line gets me every time LMAO 😂

[@charleswilson4526]

[@cishansen4162]

I said the exact same thing. I literally leaned over and told my girlfriend ‘I hope Jim’s alright.’

[@Shel1221]

I expect "Jungle Boy vs MJF" was his only break from the "torture."

Bryan Last's comments on why he watches pro wrestling are the same for me. I don't watch wrestling because it's fun, I watch it for the violence, the competition, technical demonstrations of the skills of some of these wrestlers.

[@Hellwolf36]

Yeah. Sometimes there is fun, but the fun is watching it for the violence, competition, etc. I can turn off my brain for a comedy match, but it has to have some sensibility.

[@VendreadMike95]

I don't watch Aew. And listening to Jim talk about the matches makes we wanna watch them just to laugh imagining him narrating in my head.

[@CM-jc7gk]

My question for AEW is: does anybody have any idea what to do with Orange Cassidy in any long term projection? His gimmick is entirely based on his opponents being idiots who look weak & he himself is portrayed as a dummy who doesn't even seem to understand why he's in AEW. It's utterly impossible to book him as anything more than a cartoonish lower midcarder without completely breaking his gimmick. Are there big Orange Cassidy fans who've thought about any of this? He seems like a legitimately great athlete but his gimmick is as self-defeating as one could possibly be.

[@ZeroShaneBob]

I think he should never win a title, and should only be used for comedy spots. MAYBE one day make him drop the act and get serious for a few months, then maybe he wins a midcard title, but his current gimmick should never be a main event player no matter the reaction he gets.

[@sammmm87]

I thought he was great. His match with Pac at Revolution was super entertaining but without an audience to hype his antics he's gone stale quickly. He was supposed to be laid back not a complete fucking moron. That ladder match killed him completely. He's done.

[@alangibbons1350]

Im a Cassidy fan and i think he should stay in the lower mid card because he is just a comedy gimmick.

[@CM-jc7gk]

@@sammmm87 Crazy thing is that's basically AEW in a nutshell. Cassidy could've been slow built as a hyper laid back guy who acted like a major match wasn't that big of a deal, he was just having fun & trying to be a friendly guy to everyone, etc., but eventually it turns out he's actually very cunning & has been waiting to take advantage of people underestimating him in some capacity. Or however they'd want to flip his early image around, even with a heel turn or something. But that would take time & a lot of effort to carefully build up to that & it's easier to just make Cassidy a total moron who doesn't know how ladders work for the cheap laughs. AEW is more interested in the quick payoff for every angle they have. Which actually means within the next 5 months they'll probably have Cassidy get thrown off the roof of the stadium, return as a serious guy wearing suits all the time, win a title, get drowned at sea on Jericho's cruise, & return again as himself.

[@alangibbons1350]

@@CM-jc7gk i disagree there as long as he is not in championship level status im happy. Because he is the AEWs R truth comedy gimmick just their for fun and to have a laugh nothing major. I find him funny and entertaining as hell so i put trust in AEW they don't do anything stupid because the only time they haven't done long term booking is Hardy mabey.

[@psychobluesfxt]

"We grew up watching the Attitude Era and Ruthless Aggression" yet they talk about how much they hate WWE. That's the best part and what I keep telling people. It's like when the 2012 US Olympic basketball team talked about how much better they were than Dream Team I, and either MJ or Barkley shot it down perfectly. "They're trying to be like us, we're not trying to be like them."

[@Mrderful]

I agree with the first part of your sentiments but...Do you want to have a real conversation about the 2nd?

[@psychobluesfxt]

@@Mrderful There is no way in hell the 2012 Olympic team is beating the 1992 one. 2012 era rules, Laettner (by the far the weakest link) would be as OP as he was at Duke and everyone else on that team would be completely unfair. Lebron is a genetic freak so he'd be fine but a lot of other guys on that team wouldn't hold a candle to the rest.

[@psychobluesfxt]

If you're comparing it to WWE/AEW, though, yes I did see they started using NXT guys in the crowd albeit with more extreme protective measures. I hope somehow that plexglass gets wrecked, just have the NXT "fans" shooed away while whatever No Countout match would allow that.

[@psychobluesfxt]

@Rondough Howell Even if Durant got past a then-over-the-hill Bird he's not doing anything to stop Malone. Barkley is a matchup nightmare at either the 3 or the 4. Apart from MJ you have Clyde (a worse Jordan according to Game of Zones). Mullin at that point in his career was as lights-out as any other shooter, and Robinson and Ewing are easily better than any big the 2012 team could field. At the point you have Magic and Stockton, the latter was an elite defender and we all saw what happened with Westbrook got pressured even slightly by defense in the clutch (Rubio back when everyone was convinced he was a bum). Kevin Love, as I stated before, if Laettner came into the league back then rather than when he did, he'd be a huge commodity very similar to Love. Kevin Love wasn't enough the worst guy on the 2012 team while Laettner was far and beyond the odd man out on Dream Team I. All of that outside shooting from 2012 makes zero difference when a 1/3rd of the 1992 squad is known for ripping the ball out of dude's hands and diverting shots so that their elite rebounders get easy boards and fast breaks.

[@gogogadgetrectalpunch7436]

mixednegro55 I agree. But I can also see where he’s coming from when he talks about legitimacy and believability in wrestling. When the curtain call happened, it just snowballed over time to the point of EVERYONE knowing that wrestlers are “performers”. People playing a part regardless of how believable they are in that part. Obviously that’s just a small part of his gripes with wrestling nowadays and I can name a lot more though it’s probably unnecessary, but he just can’t accept that this is wrestling NOW, the cats out of the bag and it’s not going back in. People need to be ok with it cuz wrestling isn’t going back in time

[@mixednegro55]

But you also have to realize the century we are in its not 1980 anymore so of course wrestling has changed and it will continue to change. Jim is still stuck in the 80s wrestling so he will not like whats being presented today

[@datemasamune2904]

Thing with AEW is that they assume the audience has seen all these wrestlers before, so they don't bother giving them super great debuts. From the looks of it, they're most likely expecting that they saw Brian Cage wrestle against Bobby Lashley in Impact, two years ago.

The Stampede match wasnt horrible. It wasnt great by any means, but I've seen way worse. The Adam Page drunk and not showing up seems like a shoot on wrestlers with legitimate substance abuse issues of days old (Hall and Hawk come to mind), but the actual spots they did weren't completely stupid, with exception of Matt coming out of the water as WWE forms of himself, which will probably end in a lawsuit.

The key is don’t look at those as matches (stampede,boneyard etc)look at them as angles or mini movies. I personally enjoy them because I don’t consider them wrestling. The problem is hardcore AEW are so desperate for it to succeed they kid themselves.

[@CM-jc7gk]

@@trailerparkchief I mean it's in pretty poor taste to do a needless comedic bit about drowning a wrestler the same week a former WWE guy, who several of the AEW guys knew, did actually tragically drown to death.

[@redbloxx]

Yes, this is how it is rated. How entertaining it was. That's the final aim. To entertain. And ppl loved it

[@RoYaLLeGiiTHD]

Don DiMello it was filmed before hand. are you that dense ?

[@justaddressmeasking6625]

That Darby Allin skate board jump off the top of the ladder was f**king ridiculous....

[@mr.speyside5240]

Janella’s gimmick of being a “bad boy” is incredibly lame.

[@BareFacedDouble9]

Cage has so much potential, just needs a different more basic look

[@krazyeman4]

This was the match when I finally threw in the towel on Pockets. It was a match where the winner got a World Title match and he couldn't be bothered to give enough of a fuck to learn how to win.

[@asterithehalf7076]

So we shouldn't take Marko serious but we should buy you with your tennis rocket? Ok 😂😂

[@christopherhinca]

"pockets" knew he wasn't going to win

[@forumcelebritypodcast]

lol pockets

[@johngotti1953]

Best ladder match I've ever seen was razor and michaels for the intercontinental championship

[@Fernt]

"tim and eric wrestling" as a fan of tim and eric fan I am insulted by this. Tim and eric are actually funny

[@death2putin718]

0:01 I’m looking forward to hearing this 19:59 I wasn’t disappointed

[@josemuniz4454]

Jim and brian, keep up the great work!!!👍

[@therealnmg]

Does he have a podcast where I can listen to the whole thing?

[@jasonhogan651]

Look him up on Spotify!!! You will get the full podcast there

[@masterjay7163]

This ladder match was a cluster Supposed to be 9 men then you have Marko Stunt, Penelope Ford, Jimmy Havoc, Best Friends being involved it ended up being a mess

[@Njbear7453]

I think the issue was the “casino” aspect and having 2 minutes for each entrant to come out they should’ve had all 9 men in the ring for the match and then everyone could come out at separate spots in the match.

[@Karemaker]

The only thing good about these goofy AEW matches is getting to hear Corney's reactions to them.

[@HARMARSCH2]

Marko stunted growth 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@CaptSawyer1973]

I'm a Orange Cassidy fan dude can wrestle his ass off even with his hands in his pockets 😂😂😂he's just too funny.

[@baronroaster404]

That's because he's only using 1% of his power.

[@VendreadMike95]

Cornette is a savage. He destroys jelly nutela in this one. Kudos. 👏🏾👏🏾

[@neilburns9149]

Gee Jim Don't hold back Tell us how you really feel I almost want to see it just to see how ludicrous it was

[@MattAlbie]

The problem with “a serious well presented well booked wrestling product would excel and people want that” is that they’re full of fucking shit. My beloved NXT has no supernatural stuff, no jokey nonsense. It’s a serious straight forward well booked product and it’s the least popular show in the ratings.

[@wvang0013]

Lol! I've been waiting for Cornette's DoN review all day!

[@mbadiou]

This match was a total mess

[@LoveGuyAgain]

Pockets will forever be dude name now 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@tharunv5991]

Little dog pockets entrance was the best thing in this match..

[@downwhere]

You’d think a guy who’s watched wrestling as long as he has would know there’s no dqs in ladder matches.

[@christophermarang.3569]

Kip Sabin didn’t even stand up in his promo 😂

[@petebishop8067]

All I remember about that promo is Penelope's black dress.

[@BareFacedDouble9]

I love cornettes reviews lol
