[@kevindignan4082]

A. I want to see this movie B. I want a step by step audio review of it by jim coz this is comedy gold.

[@fayezfawzi3255]

exactly my thoughts lol.

[@CrazyChiv]

It's not so ridiculous an idea to make a film about how the wrestling industry transitioned from the territory days into the large national companies. I'm not overly familiar with that era of wrestling and so a good (competently written) biopic would be really cool. But it would have to be written by someone who knows the history and NOT produced by the WWE (or it would just be another McMahon ego-stroke). I hope someone does make something like that - but not like this!

[@MitchellQuondam]

I actually think if Cornette teamed up with a screenwriter they could make a good movie or even a miniseries

[@walsh9080]

@@MitchellQuondam I would totally watch that miniseries.

[@richardpreston7333]

@@MitchellQuondam Okay, here's the elevator pitch: Corny does a biopic of his early days right up to when he quits WCW, a la "I, Tonya", but Corny himself occasionally pops in near the end to critique the biopic itself, with the cast looking round going "Oh dear, this isn't in the script"

[@mulldrifterz6469]

I always thought it would be Vince Russo that would make Jim snap and go insane, but nope when he started singing I realized I was wrong.

[@oMaJoJ]

This needs to be made, this is in that "A Burns for All Seasons" tier of greatness.

[@francescovolpe9520]

[@bloodanddajugs]

Jimmy broke when he starts singing...

[@northleedspoppa]

How was the bus still moving if he threw the driver out 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@danmount9462]

They should have gotten Pritchard to do the Vince voice.

[@zlinedavid]

Lapsed Vince would have been perfect. "Patterson...get in here..."

[@chrisortiz8072]

If they ever made a real Vince McMahon movie id watch it. I feel as if though It would have to be a trilogy because he has lived so much. Start from the struggle to the come up

[@michelledavidson8190]

That's a trilogy I could watch.

[@rachelknightonline]

It'd have to be a Lord of the Rings length trilogy 0_0

[@zlinedavid]

Call it the Lord of the Ring trilogy. And the 3 volumes could be called "Goddamn, Pal", "Yerrrrrr Firrrrrred" and "Genetic Jackhammer".

[@zirsqlid6343]

Movies are not real though, Chris.

[@crazyjim9380]

I wish they could somehow get a copy of this entire script and just let Jim read it page by page.

10:51 "Hogan makes a woman want to try some Butt - Stuff" 😂

[@guardian08527]

This is a fever dream after marathoning 72 hours straight of wrestling matches from 1978-1999.

[@JumpinJackFlash1989]

Brian bigging up his pal Bixenspan here. Fast forward a couple of years and he's trashing him on the air, calling him Yenta. He's more Jewish than Jerry Seinfeld if such a thing is possible. Also shows the wrestling business is very fickle. Even among the marks

[@smarkslowplay3512]

Same with Corny and former BFF Kenny Bolin

[@fayezfawzi3255]

I think by "Lou" they meant Lou Thesz. He was part owner of a territory at some point in the 50s. I am surprised Jim didnt figure this one out. BTW,i wish cornette had read the entire movie script lol. that would have been amazing XD also, another thing he didnt catch: they say flair was their biggest draw,but flair hadnt even become a wrestler yet in 1973 XD

[@Hammerhead547]

As horrible as that sounds it still somehow manages to sound better than what hogan and vince shat out in when they rewrote No Holds Barred at a holiday inn over the course of 36 hours.

[@fuscinula]

Rewrote? You mean there was an original script?

[@Hammerhead547]

Hogan hated the original script for No Holds Barred so he went and bitched too vince about it who in turn bitched to the writer about it, who in turn told vince to fuck off stating that he had no intention too rewrite it because he wasn't paid well enough for it in the first place. So their solution was: get a cheap hotel room after shooting the TV's for that particular week and rewrite the entire thing themselves...which they did in 36 hours. I have no idea of what they re-wrote but it obviously was a significant portion of the movie, not that it mattered because all they ended up with was a razzie worthy disaster that made it onto pretty much every worst movie list of 1989. Roger Ebert actually called it:"despicable, deplorable....and dumb".

[@fuscinula]

Wow, I never knew this... Now I understand why it's so Hogan-centric to begin with.

[@Hammerhead547]

You shouuld check out OSW Reviews review of it, it's hillarious...and they review the PPV special that ended up being the blow off to the Hogan/Zeus "feud" after the movie was broadcast on PPV.

[@borednow5838]

God bless Ebert! Would love to see his review.

[@Airdathegamer]

I can't believe Jim actually said that Russo line, but I completely agree. This writing does make Russo look like Hemingway in comparison.

[@-KillaWatt-]

Although Vince Mcmahon has a life worth a movie I don't think now is the time. A movie like this needs to be made when he passes. I don't have much faith in such a movie though. It could very easily be messed up.

[@herzkine]

Time isnt ripe but someday society will be totally cool with those parties of Vince, Trump,, Kraft and Epstein being pictured.

[@tomahboy7]

Is it totally weird that I want this script funded without any changes to the script lol

[@TheBorkLaser]

The most surprising part to me was finding out the script was NOT written by Vince Russo.

[@wildwine6400]

It was a joke script made up by Bix

[@dalehulen369]

3:56 "Cut The Shit Jack" 😂

[@SuperDevolution]

For some reason, I always get a chuckle out of the Scrap Iron Gadaski part. It sounds like the equivalent of saying you couldn't get Virgil for 3 grand a night now.

[@nonamerequired123]

I'm going to presume their description of cocktails and pills was them accidentally inserting what it was like in the room where they wrote it for the NWA meeting and that Lou was their pill supplier. Or maybe the pimp. Or maybe it was both.

I'm not kidding!! It's fucking hilarious!! 😂😂😂😂

[@rossl5908]

WWE Netflix 3 season documentary covering everything from Vince buying out the other promoters, the Monday night wars, the Montreal Screwjob, Steroid trials, Owen Hearts death; which is just scratching the surface. And the WWE would partly want this documentary as it would inevitably trend and would make the company relevant again to a newer generation.

[@michelledavidson8190]

Dark side of the ring is a great series, but it's not on Netflix. I'd love to see a show on Vince McMahon buying out the other promoters.

They leave and when the manager tries to stop Linda he ends up getting beat up by Vince. The script makes it evident that Linda is turned on by the incident. Linda also tells Vince at one point in what is described as a “wink-wink line” that she and Vince would never be political types but that maybe their kids will be at some point." this is better than wwe is now this could be a daily soap.

Wait, what's Underdog? I want to see it now just based on Cornette's singing of the theme. My guess is Vince doesn't want this made because of what it suggests about his family no matter how bullshit it maybe. But then wouldn't be funny if he actually plans on making it?...

[@ericvelasquez473]
