Johnny Ace is a prime example of people being elevated above their level of competence

[@dunnwell7780]

He certainly has a track record of failing upwards.

Stephanie liked him though because he was so friendly....

It’s called the Peter principle I believe I only remember that because I used to have an incompetent manager named Pete We always used to refer to him as mr principle Dude was such an idiot he thought we were complimenting him by calling him a man of principles 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@Tim85-y2q]

I think he was probably not as bad at his job as many people think, but his job wasn't really what many people think it was. He was doing what WWE wanted him to do.

[@mr.x9566]

@@marlonthomas8042 Yep. When people are promoted to their level of incompetence. The problem with people like that, is that they go on to gain employment elsewhere trading of off the job title they have/had.

The most nauseating thing about that special was the Bella twins contribution. Hearing them complain about going to FCW, being there for a few months, and then getting frustrated, like "when are we gonna get called up already"! They said themselves they had zero training before FCW but they think they need to go to the big time so quickly. Such ego and naivete. It's gross really.

You nailed it.

[@mikepuppetz9]

The fact that they're going in the Hall of Fame this year before Undertaker, Jim Johnston, The Rock, and even Jim Cornette himself is a disgrace and singlehandedly invalidates the Hall of Fame. What did they accomplish other than blowing their way up the ladder?

[@jamirimaj6880]

OVW might be Corny's biggest achievement. Anddd would you look at that, he even talked Tyler Black out of not going to TNA and go to FCW. Corny's greatest irony is that for all the hatred he has in modern wrestling, he's the one who actually helped and develop the superstars and legends of modern wrestling.

Switching Jim Ross out for John Laurinitas as head of Talent Relations was the beginning of the end of the WWE product. The shit show they have today is a direct result of Laurinitas inability to spot genuine talent and “IT” factor.

Wwe needs the indies to be in business as this is how they get the starts of tomorrow. Wwe raided the territories for the guys that made them so popular back in the 80’s but without those territories wwe lack the ability to make a good worker a legend, they haven’t got the same pool to choose talent from. Wwe has cut its own throat and will starve to death now

[@EmmaBonn96]

It’s not so much just taking from the indies but taking the top In the 80s Vince got all of the AWAs Mid Card but left their main eventers to grow old and dull and kill that territory If you take the top guys when they’re done you create a replenishing fountain of talent

[@GangstaSparkleFairy]

Good god, everyone heralding the death of the WWE...you people are fools. It's the only big promotion, publicly traded, with decades of history and loyal fans that wont abandon it...there will be no death, just years of stale and uninspired product.

[@Matt-cr4vv]

I get not liking creative. But how do people genuinely think WWE is on its death bed when it just reported it's most profitable year ever.

[@gusbaker4u]

I find it hard to believe that a documentary about WWE, made by WWE would be anything other than 110% accurate and honest ;-)

[@trevor6757]

The way Jim describes the way Lauranitis treating him & OVW is legit infuriating. We've all been disrespected in some similar fashion before and it's just the worst.

[@ryanrichardson76]

I thought the FCW documentary was pretty good, but listening to this was way more enjoyable. One of the most Interesting segments I've ever heard on this show. Great stuff

[@shutterbuggfan]

[@walsh9080]

@@shutterbuggfan They've had him speaking about OVW on the Ruthless Aggression documentary series.

[@Blaklyon0]

Listening to Jim Cornett tear into Johnny Ace is a welcomed change. I'm kind of glad the scandal was revealed. If anything, it gave Jim a opportunity to verbally suplex John for our entertainment!

[@LegendofTheCosmic7]

I grew up my first wrestling was The Nightmares Kenny Wayne and Danny Davis! Continental wrestling was my first. I think they worked in Florence AL, also dennis Condrey went to school with my dad in Central AL. So I think me and Jim are kind of same minded, henceforth why I think Jim should be the King of America!

[@Chuey616]

I only got two hours left of work and a good majority of that time I'm going to be listening to Jim cornette. It doesn't get no better than that... Other than being home not working drinking a beer while listening to Jim cornette.

[@aidanthomas2510]

Two takeouts from this: 1) Gotta give Cena props for going into bat for Danny Davis. The only other two I can think of that might have are Lesnar and Austin. Lesnar probably wouldn't have on second thought, and even if he would have he likely couldn't have as he was out of WWE by then and even if he'd still been there he by all accounts didn't have anywhere near the relationship with Vince that Cena had begun to have by that point the first time around. And Austin of course was pretty much out of the business. 2) There will never be anything like OVW again. Ever. Next time you wonder why WWE brings back old stars for a pop, blame Clubfoot Lauranitis. His appointnent was clearly the beginning of the end for WWE. There's clearly something to be said for the old school guys and old school pro wrestling. As say what you want about Corny, but no one can say he doesn't know wrestling. Thank you Jim Cornette for telling us the truth.

[@philbinpar1]

Chauncey Blubbershit 😂😂😂

[@MCPunk55]

The little I saw from OVW, with Finlay and Punk and Beth and ODB, I liked it. It was more believable than the WWE. And women took part in the same type of matches as men, which is something that the WWE has only done recently. I think it was Beth who broke a ladder when someone threw her to the outside. And I got to see a trouser malfunction, which revealed a sexy black G-string. But yeah, it was pretty damn sweet.

People can badmouth Cornette on a lot of things, but the man does know how to run a wrestling promotion in a bankable way to a small niche audience of die hard fans. That's what Smoky Mountain was, that's what OVW was, and the only time it didn't work was when it was RoH where the market SHOULD be bigger based on the powers that be behind the scenes. Granted, no one seems to have cracked that RoH code yet. Regardless, there are indies and major promotions overextending past their means to do things that don't draw, with talent that's killing themselves, that haven't been able to accomplish what Jim has with well booked textbook wrestling in two different territories.

Outside of maybe MLW, he's burned every bridge he's crossed based on pettiness on his end. The man booked the last great years of ROH television before lizard man took the books and goofed everything up, helped Court Bauer coach talent and staff on how to present a show worth airing, and would still be with TNA right now in one of it's better runs if it weren't for visa issues.

Same here. I've wanted that for a while. I only caught OVW toward the end of their relationship with WWE (I watched FCW though). Wouldn't mind seeing WWE make a documentary on OVW, that's appealing to me. Although I reckon Corny would be invited to appear on an OVW documentary. He was on the Ruthless Aggression documentary talking about OVW and like Corny said he's happy to do stuff with WWE because he always loved how the production staff operate (in fact he loved it so much when he did the HOF they let him into the production truck because they knew it would make him happy, Corny himself said McMahon let him because McMahon knew he'd like that and Vince wasn't wrong Corny said it was like heaven to see professional production staff that know what they're doing because he hasn't seen that since he left WWE) he just couldn't be paid enough to work there full time again.

God no. Can you imagine the propaganda it would be?

[@SensiofRabbitude]

I wonder if we'll be able to get better documentaries when either Vince passes on or WWE is sold? Probably not because if he died, they'd be insistent on protecting his legacy by preserving the history of wrestling from his viewpoint. If the WWE was sold the new owners would want to protect their investment by maintaining that 'the WWE was the good guy' historical narrative.

Well, we got some of it about a year later

I love these long stories from Cornette. Who needs a biography when you have so much archive on youtube.

The amount of detailed information that Jim provides in most of his videos that last about an hour long, Are more informative than anything that you Could see on a A&E!
