Adam Pearce with the JC reference on raw😂

[@Hyde_Hill]

Oh completely missed that. What did he say that was a reference?

[@FredDurst701]

Here waiting for Corny to find out Darby got hit by a bus 😂

[@GTAfan421]

Is anyone actually surprised lmao

[@paulcarpenter7844]

How did he break his nose by getting hit by a bus that's what I'm wondering I think he got punched😂

[@naxireal869]

​@@paulcarpenter7844 He got hit by the side mirror of a passing bus not the bus itself. So short answer zero situational awareness and Darby was standing too close to the curb.

[@FitzKeepsItSimple]

Becky Lynch winning the title has to be one of the most anticlimactic championship victories in modern wrestling memory.

[@KamoMustafaWWE]

Agreed

[@gothard5]

It was the correct choice and the only choice

[@paulcarpenter7844]

And people are defending it like if you don't see why she won you're the problem

[@chrissantos1067]

Should have put the belt on Nia Jax and let her run with it. Instead they job her out to Mid Morgan 🤦‍♂️

[@virgilhawkins7368]

I'm no fan of Liv Morgan, but I'm surprised they didn't put the belt on her considering when Rhea comes back, she's going after Liv.

[@jeffmendez02]

The only disappointment on current WWE is def rebel, Draft and ofc booking of tag division (I feel everyone is teasing turning on eachother too often, i think we need tag teams who are actually a permanent team), the tag team division is weak on mainroster.

[@theboxingboy7422]

Yeah there entrance music songs have been the worse they've ever been. Nearly every song is generic as hell. The draft has been dull as well because nearly everyone has just stayed on the show there already on anyway. And the ones who have moved I don't really care about anyway like karrion Kross and his faction on raw... Who cares

[@jeffmendez02]

@@theboxingboy7422 Exactly Kross should have been more beneficial in NXT than RAW, on bright side 🤦🏻‍♂️ at least the repeat LWO vs LDF and Pride vs The Testament feud is over.

[@theboxingboy7422]

@@jeffmendez02 yeah the LWO-LDF feud was played out.. so glad I don't have to see them matches over and over again and same with Kross and lashleys faction because they've been lukewarm at best. But yeah Kross going back to NXT probably would of been better for him because on raw he's gonna be back to jobbing in 3 weeks

[@awelshwhale]

but everyone moans the the new day have never broken up, so people dont want to see unbreakable bonds of friendship

[@jeffmendez02]

@@awelshwhale Yep it has played its course. Even Uso has broken up, with a convincing storyline Kofi turning heel on Xavier Woods will be very effective.

[@chrissantos1067]

20 min to review RAW, 2 hrs to review Dynamite. Seems legit.

[@becomingungovernable]

When the show is mid there's nothing to comment on. When the show is amazing or terrible there's plenty to comment on.

[@j80282]

You mean aew was amazingly terrible ​@@becomingungovernable

[@ivah5353]

😂😂😂 “I don’t see an H” “Whatever whatever he’s back.” 🤣

[@AAFly-Boy]

I am sick of seeing Imperium vs New Day

[@charlesbradley7638]

Why Jim go in on Ottis like that ? 😂😂😂 16:27

[@DoneBrokeDatBack]

Jim droppin' some late night goodies. Thanks guys!

[@JB-nx6jb]

I will say they have found a way to make Drew interesting again and I like what Chad Gable is doing

[@carlb5558]

Jim's correct, I believe Sheamus debuted as Seamus. I have seen that spelling in the past.

“Just stay here don’t move, you could fuck something up if you move” - Jim’s impression of Indi Hartwell to ‘Model Girl’ while foot is lodged into throat 😭

[@carriebrooks2377]

After mania these shows went downhill..Its like they not trying

[@joeg5841]

Da Vinci finishes his story at survivor series or we riot

[@donaldhunter4619]

Thanks Jim

[@whatsoperadoc7050]

Great

[@NeRo-uwu]

tremendous review i had a great time thanks jim it was great

[@cfhcowboy9292]

Bret hart in a recent interview says he doesn't like Gunther lol so bret hates another wrestler lol

[@Boss__CQC]

Coming back to watch WWE cold after two decades. I’ve gone from watching Stone Cold, the Rock, Triple H, The Undertaker… to watching someone chanting YEET over and over again and people are lapping it up. Guess I’ve got a lot of catching up to do…. Surely it can’t all be this paper thin?

[@MrMegaRocket]

Trust me, it’s that bad. I got interested again once The Rock came back and quickly lost interest after Wrestlemania. It’s like Brian says, there’s no star power. It’s crazy.

[@blesner1983]

Never says anything negative about wwe. Hes getting paid.

[@ryanvazquez2301]

Wwe outside of wrestlemania sucks no one wants to admit it😂😂

[@finnhartwich9823]

“They teamed up and dumped the fridge.” 😀😀😀

[@Simonskilamb]

Starting to wonder if I made a mistake coming back to WWE in the leadup to WM40. Da fk is going on?? How has it gone so flat so quick?

[@PJBlick]

Seriously, why isn't LA Knight (YEAH) on Raw with the Jey push? Rather than Jey badly trying to rip off the natural "Yeah" reactions. We have Jey pulling a Jeb Bush asking the crowd to "Please say Yeet?" Guess that "New Generation", dat NepoCrony New Generation, yeah?

[@Hyde_Hill]

Maybe it is because I hadn't been watching before Wrestlemania, however I thought they really experimented with camera angles in the DIY vs Awesome Truth match. Anyone else think the same?

[@AAFly-Boy]

Surprised Jim didn’t bring up the “Jey and Yeet is mid” sign

[@john_blues]

I hope Jim watched Maxine this week. Even though she lost, heel Maxine has a hotter look and she pulled off a few good moves. I was not expecting the fisherman's suplex/kip-up combo.

[@DARC-87]

Is it the same knee? Seems like he was working through that knee and it took a bad twist.

[@jwconglomerate332]

Jim Cornette and his patented career altering haircut tips.

[@salbrodg8363]

I'm surprised Jim doesn't see Otis as a useless Chris Taylor

[@monabear7287]

WWEs depth will be severely tested due to injury and absence (planned time off). How will we leave wo nuclear heat magnet Dom?

[@dannystaton5386]

Lol

[@benjambreeg]

lol otis

[@j80282]

Becky said I left my daughter an husband on the day of my husband's surgery

[@JB-nx6jb]

The Refrigerator gets booked in way too many strong positions. She’s so bad it’s embarrassing. “MY HOLE MY HOLE!!!”

[@carriebrooks2377]

Do it somewhere else 😂😂😂 jim funny

[@user-bp8mr4gr6h]

half the midcard delivered, half the midcard didn't. That was raw! And man, womens world title battle royal, that really legitimizes the division. At least they went with the absolute safest and least interesting option. I hope becky drops it to someone interesting, but if she makes the reign good I'm in for the ride.

[@gothard5]

Becky needs to drop the title to Rhea and only Rhea. Nobody else needs to be champion.

[@JPS47]

Oh boy did wrestling have a rough week last week. Both Raw and Smackdown were bleh let alone TK embarrassing himself in the neck brace.

[@paulcarpenter7844]

4 months ago we had nothing but stars on the main roster on raw now what do we have it's boring as

[@cfhcowboy9292]

I tell ya it's time to change the look of the intercontinental belt that thing is ugly lol

[@NNNateMMMate]

Who else ready to talk about the Harvey Weinstein Cola

[@ScarFeiss]

Wwe is better and has a longer show than aew but the raw review is 20 minutes and the dynamite review is 2 hours? Lmao tf

[@TheBrownsRealestFan]

Like bischoff once said controversy creates cash... AEW gives Corny and Brian PLENTY of subject matter to criticize, ridicule, make fun of, and all around gather to see a rising dumpster fire unless TK has an epiphany and gets his shit together. 💯

[@chrissantos1067]

They know where their bread is buttered.

[@TheMartinTD]

Because RAW is boring as hell full of low/mid card wrestlers and nothing ever happens.

[@ScarFeiss]

@@TheMartinTD that doesn’t make sense if the wwe is better and generating more money and views than ever. Someone is either lying or the math isn’t adding up 🤔

[@ScarFeiss]

@@chuckles9767 so based on this pattern narrative people watch this channels aew reviews but not the show to specifically listen to a trash show be negatively reviewed??

[@benespinosa6725]

this episode of raw sucked the battle royal was super predictable Michael Cole mentioning gail Kim winning the WWE women's title in a battle royal on raw in 2003 surprised me because knowing how gail left WWE by eliminating herself in a battle royal oddly enough in 2011.

[@WarGhoulKharas]

The draft is the fucking worst. I'd rather watch AEW and get brain damaged.

[@gothard5]

I disagree. I enjoyed it.

[@jamesgroover4643]

Obviously you've watched too much 🧠

[@kesuya]

Wrestling has been absolute garbage lately. AEW, WWE, all trash

[@TheMartinTD]

Wrestling has been trash for the last 22 years let’s be honest.

[@marcosgonzalez4027]

I'm telling you it's really bad!!! It's not wrestling! forget about ratings ! there in a gay society.

[@KnucklesWTD]

Nobody cares about wrestling again now that Roman has lost and the rock left.

[@yusufgazi7]

They did carry wrestling to be fair

[@TheBrownsRealestFan]

Ummmmmmn we all do or we wouldn't be talking about it lol..... don't sip the haterade. It's bad for the soul. 😂😂😂
