[@RONRIFFLE.DEIcertified]

R.I.P. The memory’s you gave us will live on forever.

[@richardcoreno]

Salute the lives lived -- and appreciate how they entertained us over the many, many years.

[@TonyWaller-oy8ls]

I saw Virgil 🙏 wrestle Giant Gonzalez 🙏 many many years ago from the front row...Bret Hart and Bam Bam Bigelow were the main event that night...R.I.P. Virgil and Bam Bam Bigelow... thank you both for all the wonderful memories my friends 👍

[@mucketymuck6723]

I always found Scott Cornish to be extremely funny with all his comedic contributions to the 605 Superpodcast. He sounded like a wonderful person and friend.

[@robertnapier624]

Happy new year cult of cornette. And happy new year to corny and Brian and the landscapers responsible for the background noise only Brian can hear

[@CharaPresscott6982]

This dropped right at New Year!

[@jabdnor]

RIP Jimmy Carter

[@MelvinMowle-ui3yh]

Thank God that Biden took the mantel of the worst President in the history of America before peanut picker died.

[@roxydog2004]

Happy New Year and you are my favorite podcasters by far :Corny & thegreatBrianlast , don't remember when it started but I moved to Vegas in 2017 so shortly thereafter goin on 10 yrs and you two have and will be here as long as, well forever

[@samspurgeon4222]

I just hate that we, the fans, were robbed of the classic that Sid vs the Shockmaster would have been. RIP big man

[@Landon-j5q]

Lost my father this year. Lost a bunch in the world too

[@ButWhatIfItIs]

I'm very sorry to hear that buddy. It'll be most difficult at this time of year especially, and his birthday. But you'll likely and hopefully feel this urge to really do something incredible as time goes on, if your sorted career wise, maybe experiences you just haven't partaken in, haven't found time for etc. Time heals.

[@Landon-j5q]

@ButWhatIfItIs yeah I've been just trucking forward. Thank you buddy

[@ronin86_Oi]

Hey man , sorry to hear that , hope you n your family are ok , the cult is always here to cheer up the woes ..... Many blessings n positivity sent your way homie , take care n be strong .

[@Landon-j5q]

@@ronin86_Oi I know I really appreciate that. He passed on Halloween at only 52. I'll be ok. Just trying to keep on

[@majestic3850]

i hate that sid vicious will in all likelihood be inducted in the hof this year right after his death. wwe shouldve done it sooner

[@Cruising_On_Lake_Havasoma]

They really should have, everyone but the Haterade-chugging workrate marks loved Softball Sid and he didn't have heat with Vince or anything that I know of.

[@marvinleong5902]

Sullivan also

[@majestic3850]

@@marvinleong5902 tbh ive always heard more about kevin sullivan's personal life and backstage role so im not as familiar with his career sans shoots. as an actual wrestler how good was he?

[@tobiasfarragut292]

Vince was probably still salty about Softball 🥎 season back then

[@russellcampbell3500]

​​@@majestic3850he was amazing. He and woman had a satanic gimmick and people actually had heat back then and he would really rile up the California and Florida crowds. Yeah Kevin Sullivan is are real one.

[@alain99v6]

a forgotten one when it happened, Paul "Butcher' Vachon, younger brother of Maurice "Mad Dog" Vachon and step-father of the late Luna Vachon

[@lastdayonearthmysteryman4849]

Happy New Year!

[@TheRealDannAlexander]

Writing from Halifax area. Speaking of Al Zinck, also RIP to Leonce Cormier (Leo Burke). He was such a draw in Atlantic Canada where he was originally from. Went on to train so many others. In my view, his broadway with Rick Martel at the Halifax Forum is one of the greatest matches ever. It's all over KZbin. That match was part of promotion Al Zinck was running, as I understand it. Edit - I think the “gassed” show Jim was referring to happened at Harbour Station in Saint John New Brunswick. But I’m not 100% confident of this.

[@EoghanFallon]

The Ole tribute is godlike.

[@circa-iv4st]

Rest in peace to all those we lost this year

[@Rigamus11]

ARMSTRONGS! Bob, Brad, Scott, Steve, Brian

[@jamesgroover4643]

HNY 2 all 🥳

[@marvinleong5902]

RIP to Jax Dane also

[@misterprickly]

Sadly the list for 2025 has already started. *R.I.P Sweet Daddy Siki.*

[@TheRealDannAlexander]

Damn..... But at least he made it to 91 years of age. Rare for most in the business.

[@misterprickly]

@@TheRealDannAlexander Very true!

[@TheRealDannAlexander]

@@misterpricklyI’ll never forget seeing him turn up on Atlantic Grand Prix tapings. He was a wild dude and knew how to entertain. I never saw him live during the summer tours of Atlantic Canada. Wished we could have.

[@JimmyHeartburn]

RIP Sweet Daddy Siki

[@nathangillispie51]

Great stuff on ole and kevin.

[@marcroyer5507]

i wonder if virgils funeral was paid for in 20s.....greatest brian last laugh of all time RIP

[@Bandana_Boi]

I'm baffled how this channel doesn't have a classic wrestling Omnibus at this point. Like 8 years into this show now

[@insupportofjunhado]

It sounds like it would have been a real treat to be there for the Jim Cornette-Ole Anderson sniping live, and then go on to see them do business together in different companies and find a mutual enemy in Eric Bischoff. Shame Ole didn't stay in the public spotlight long enough to join Jim after Jim's falling out with Dave Meltzer.

[@mickytallent6933]

King Cornette I was honored to get to shake his hand at Spartanburg Memorial Gardens ! And I ask him about Jim Ross and he told me Jim is the best Corny should be on the Mt Rushmore for every wrestling fan Under appreciated under paid But probably not under laid

[@petefrenzel7296]

Killer Khan, Tony's great grandpa! :) LOL! Sad Virgil is no longer sad!

[@jayking248]

The Armstrong family

[@jwconglomerate332]

2:35:09 They make Kevin Sullivan sound like David Lynch.

[@Cruising_On_Lake_Havasoma]

Everyone will be happy to know that Joe Koff's brother Jack is still alive and well.

[@tobiasfarragut292]

🥁🥁 PSHHHHHHHH!

[@brandonstark1062]

Keep spamming trash

[@DJDORAN1]

I think it's safe to say..the average life span of wrestlers and the lifespan of "regular" people..are unfortunately two different people...®ExceptCornette

[@samspurgeon4222]

"he's a rasslin' guy"....must be why Johnny Ace was able to rise so high in Vince's company, well, that and he didn't mind taking shit from the boss😂

[@timbramley4761]

Lost my mother on new years day

[@dariussparkes7080]

My condolences

[@BadLion12k]

Lost faith in people after November

[@thelegendarybigfoot6760]

Rest In Peace Jax Dane

Where is list for 2022?

R.I.P. Jax Dane

[@benespinosa6725]

Sid Vicious death caught me way off guard RIP to both wild samoans seeing them at Hell in a cell 2020 was incredible and that was in the thunderdome just imagine if that was with people in attendance that was easily my favorite moment of them because they were way before I was born their wwe hall of fame speech in 2007 was great.

[@benespinosa6725]

​@totallybored5526 i see what you did there well played also that wrestlemania 31 story jim is referring to I've heard that a ton glad jim mentioned that I was hoping he did.

[@insupportofjunhado]

Killer Khan is such a weird foreign heel gimmick. Japan was one of the few countries to actually repel the Mongols. How much fear and hatred did the Japanese have for Mongolia really? Props to the man for pulling it off, but it's like having an evil Mountie in the United States.

[@sparkybuff4728]

I learn so much from these "Those we lost" omnibuses. What a way to commerate these legends 🫡

[@Torontokid]

Big Lenny.

[@kingjames1101]

Would Jim cut a promo on russo if he passed? Would he also film himself peeing on his burial site 😂

[@butchieyost9129]

😂

[@frankdean7694]

I believe he has indicated that his wife has to take a Pic of him getting rid of the contents of his bladder on Russo's final resting place

[@isjones2112]

Ole pushes someone out and it’s ok. God forbid Vince does it

[@syko2695]

I was about to remark on Jay Briscoe not being in the thumbnail but then I Googled it and that happened in JANUARY 2023??

[@zamplify]

🎉

[@Cruising_On_Lake_Havasoma]

Trash.

[@showthemnomercy]

Rip Brody Lee and Bray Wyatt

[@wombflood]

no disrespect but this is for 2024 their passings were before that, its 2024 almost 2025.

[@tscanz1994]

Why would anyone want to listen to a 5 hour video talking about people that just died… bruh

[@dariussparkes7080]

Well if you watch the video, you’d find it offers great tributes that celebrates their life’s work.

[@Rigamus11]

Tonga Kid was so good--- but somehow got lost. Fatu was great - But Tonga Kid was the next best--- EASILY....
