[@GodlessScummer]

Who'd of ever thought we'd hear Jim Cornette trying to play the peacemaker.

[@FreneticZetetic]

This is the most aggressive and pissed off I've ever heard this dude. Lance must have really struck a nerve with him. I've always enjoyed his work, personally.

[@taltagteamchamps]

Guy is a nobody. I too always enjoyed Storms work

[@ledzeppelinfan1001]

[@jonjohnson1978.]

[@geoffa87]

And THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is how you cut a heel promo

[@johnhess9443]

Lance is a fantastic wrestler... but Brian is a better promo.

[@donaldlusk2035]

Brian sounded so butthurt. Lmaoooo

[@thefett4207]

Brian sounds like a triggered crybaby

[@ASCUMBAGWh0re]

Yep he is

[@KangDo]

This is literally the first time I've ever heard anybody speak ill of Lance Storm.

[@Horatio.Mantooth]

KangDo that's because no one talks about him or bothered to remember.

[@Nepthu]

@@Horatio.Mantooth RVD gave an interviewed where he said Lance was a stand-up dude and if anyone had a problem with him, they were an asshole. That was generally the consensus in ECW according to RVD.

[@theronquishow5837]

@@Nepthu I believe Lance is a stand-up guy but getting a stamp of approval of human decency from ECW is like being the best player for the Washington Generals or something

[@wecoolwecoolbounce5191]

Without Jim Cornette, I would still know who Lance Storm is. Without Jim Cornette I would have NO FUCKING CLUE who Brian Last is...

[@kieranhardy660]

WeCoolWeCool BOUNCE but Brian wasn't trying to be a good wrestler or anything, poor comparison.

[@jonjohnson1978.]

That's an idiotic take.......

[@BrianWelchVEVO]

Look......you know its some stiff talk if JIM CORNETTE is caught off guard. lol

[@jonjohnson1978.]

Maybe.......I dont think he would be if something similar happened now

[@andrewmachado6988]

This weeks episode of The Drive Thru brought me here (Episode 177). And my oh my do times change after a few short years. Now Cornette hates Jericho. Lol

[@thealchemist69666]

I'm very late to the party but Brian is only making good jokes here because he's written them down and is reading from his script which is pathetic just like him being jealous of Conrad Thompson.

[@waregl72]

Doubt Corny is as much of a "Jericholoic" as he was in this bit.

[@overfisken]

I'm with Storm on this one. Brian Last knocking Storm's in ring work is just ridiculous. Talk about your wanting to dish it out but not being able to take it. Jim's great, Brian sucks.

[@ahmeddemha6112]

overfisken To be fair Storm was rather boring in the ring and on the mic.

[@overfisken]

Ahmed Demha On the mic, sure. He was never a great talker. I don't agree with you as to his in ring work. I thought Storm was great. Especially some of his ECW stuff. You have to remember that he worked as a heel most times. Heels aren't supposed to be exciting.

[@ahmeddemha6112]

And yet guys like Ric Flair, The Rock, Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle,, The Dudleys etc were exactly that.

[@overfisken]

Ahmed Demha By his own admission Storm was a technically strong enhancement guy whose primary job was to get other guys over. Not all wrestlers can be Ric Flair.

[@ahmeddemha6112]

Seems like some BSing on Storm's part there's no such thing as a strong jobber. And typical jobbers don't work for multiple wrestling promotions during their career.

[@PeytonPolson]

THAT PROMO 😂😂😂😂😂

[@dylanpiazza6358]

Damn Brian's feelings really got hurt lom

[@bigrigjoe5130]

Lance was a great wrestler. Sure he can't talk but in ring he was great

[@robertstraw9881]

Brian just cut a better promo than a professional wrestler. That was fucking poetry.

[@Naepide_ayuda]

I actually liked Lance's mic work in ECW. That "Calgary.....Alberta Canada" line was pretty funny.

[@ASCUMBAGWh0re]

I don't get it. Is it wrong?

[@motagrota]

Funny that jim used to defend jericho. 😂😂

[@Brianraymond581]

Brian last is still waiting on that apology letter...

[@shaunieinthewrasslin2877]

Lance Storm is the man, this is a huge over reaction, Last got his panties in a bunch, and couldn’t except he was wrong, and Storm was defending his friend from what he thought was an insult from someone who didn’t know his situation

[@phantomdriver2010]

Lance Storm is a good wrestler and holy shit that escalated very fast

[@christopheracosta7658]

God those Storm and Jericho vides that Cornett kept showing on SMW lol.

[@jessekellerthecollectingne5058]

Okay which is the better Brian last promo? This or his scorching of bixenspan?

[@tobiasfarragut292]

Last promo against storm..Yenta Bitchenspan wouldn’t do shit and cant come back to save his life…storm will try and asshat his way back to trying to win the debate

[@greedyd5524]

But he is from Calgary Alberta Canada

[@bigrigjoe5130]

Saying Lance Storm is best known for SMW is like claiming Kevin Nash is best known for Oz.

[@taltagteamchamps]

Lance storm is a awesome wrestler. This guy Brian last has never stepped into the ring. Has no right to judge him

[@Nepthu]

Who is Brian last anyway? I watched Lance in ECW, WCW and WWE.

[@taltagteamchamps]

@@Nepthu no idea. I just looked him up and read about him. I still have no idea

[@The_Jimplication]

Lance was a pretty big fish in ECW , I don't think never drew a dime is particularly accurate.

[@victoriajames3333]

Brian who?

[@rockmusicfan9278]

Who the hell is Brian Last?

[@connordripps1480]

He's Jim Cornette's co-host on his podcast The Jim Cornette Experience.

[@rockmusicfan9278]

@@connordripps1480 Let me reword it. Who the fuck is Brian last who thinks he can try and call out someone like Lance Storm on his shitty podcast with Cornette when all Storm did was defend Jericho.

[@highbury_hazard]

Can't believe I'm only finding this now. I like Brian, and I get that when shots get fired you can expect shots fired back, but when somebody criticizes Lance Storm for not being good in the ring, that reflects far worse on the guy making those accusations than it does on Storm. Also, it's so weird to go back and hear when Cornette spoke highly of Jericho. You couldn't pay him to praise Jericho today in 2024. lol

[@batman515]

Brian, you may not want to, but I think you should post one of the interviews with Lance. Despite your differences, it was a great interview.

[@geoffa87]

Is it just me, or is it hot in here?

[@mox19380]

don't know how i'm just hearing this but i now see another reason for the cornette/last connection. both grasp on to a grudge like i hold on to a titty

[@stephenwells8981]

If I can be serious for a minute 😂

[@applescotchmoonlight]

there are only 2 reasons as to why brian last would hate lance storm so much.....he either lost a bunch of money placing a bet on a lance storm match or lance rejected brian's sexual advances, lance's workrate is almost flawless

[@nooneinparticular5273]

Of all the people to have heat with, fucking Lance Storm and Chris Jericho?

[@CEREBROBELFAST]

Funny Brian should mention choreographed wrestling in a promo that was scripted as hell

[@gravewax5892]

People talk the Mt Rushmore of wrestling which is a great debate, the Rushmore for managers though is much easier in my opinion, but let's start that discussion now... My 4: Heenan, Cornette, Heyman, Jimmy Hart. Who's your's?

[@jonjohnson1978.]

Blassie and the grand wizard were superb.....Sherri was great.....lou albano......bobby Davies .....gary hart deserves a mention tho I didnt like/get him

[@gravewax5892]

@@jonjohnson1978. yeah every one of those definitely deserve to be in the conversation. I think if Gary woulda gone to wwf/e or even had a long enough run in more modern wcw and been guided more on the entertainment side of things to make him less "dry" or "flat" he'd have been damn good. He played the heel manager to a tee, he just lacked that personality that people like Heenan, Cornette, Heyman, and others had and in that era as direct competition to them to me is where he never lived up. And yeah Blassie and Wizard definitely belong. Sherri was incredible, especially taking bumps n everything, and really for a face manager, Elizabeth was great too! But I think she owed all of her success to being the perfect compliment to Randy. But yeah this makes me miss the art of managers that's missing today.

[@jonjohnson1978.]

@@gravewax5892 managers are definitely missed.....early 90s wwf was my favourite period likely because I was a child......only one I dont agree on there is Elizabeth she was grt with randy but strictly as a manager she was the shits ....but apreciate she had a 'role' and did it well....the grand wizard was a grt promo

[@gravewax5892]

@@jonjohnson1978. yeah without Randy Liz woulda been nothing. Cuz even when Hogan got in the mix it was shit. Yeah I'm right in that age bracket. Another great manager that only worked with 1 or 2 was ole Paul Bearer... Taker- great, Kane- great, Mankind-ehhhhh not so much, and ANYONE else-NO lol. Fuji was great as strictly heel manager, but his beyond broken English would make it impossible today for him. Another sleeper was when Harley Race managed Vader in wcw. Teddy Long in wcw was great too. Him with Doom and the Skyscrapers, but especially Doom, he was amazing. God just rattling off these names, EVERYONE had a manager lmao

[@tobiasfarragut292]

Ill actually take out Jimmy Hart knowing its Memphis Jimmy whom I heard was great for his time and throw in the Doctor of Style Slick as my personal wild card bitches!.. lol

And now Lance Storm reports for F4wonline, go figure

[@jordanboyle6682]

Team Brian Last

[@jasonpdsi]

I am a huge fan of Arcadian Vanguard but one point I'll disagree with. I attended the New Blood Rising ppv in Vancouver, BC, in 2000. Judging by the reaction he received I would be willing to bet that at least two people bought tickets to watch him wrestle.

[@MattMonk]

I want to go horseback riding with Lance Storm.

[@nickgullett7774]

Who would BL he rather spend the day with Lance or Jake Roberts?

[@Horatio.Mantooth]

Brian just made a comment about Jericho's peck. He is allowed to say he thinks his work isn't what it used to be. Everyone does get old. Lance Storm is a prick,was a prick in his ECW days,still a prick now. People here think marks have to show ultimate respect to everyone who wrestles. Respect is earned,they have to earn ours not the other way around. They make their living on our dollars and what we think they are worth. It's the business plain and simple.

[@Krontok]

All I remember of Lance Storm is that i used to hit fast forward

[@seabrook1976]

Brian's an angry little squirrel.

[@jeffreyriley8742]

No non-wrestler should ever call out someone that's wrestled.

[@tafua_a]

The only reason why Lance Storm isn't remembered as a great star is because of that segment with Stone Cold

[@Nepthu]

I agree. Lance was too agreeable in the business. He's too eager to put new guys over and should have refused to do that segment with Stone Cold.

[@tafua_a]

@@Nepthu He was not really in the position to say no. He was a midcard act, and had he said no, he probably would have been seen as unprofessional. Austin should have been the one to refuse to do this.

[@popularzbie9761]

[@bigbabyjesusjealousonestil7182]
