[@Headbanger142]

I think Brian Zane as Cornette's illegitimate son would be a better storyline than Angle and Jordan.

[@MissLovebat]

It would certainly make more sense than Angle and Jordan.

[@michaelbandada9887]

What if Jim Cornette and Brian Zane become a team and raise hell together? It will be super epic, bro!

[@Frankenberry]

True that lol... or ANYTHING WWE has done in the last few years for that matter lol

[@hopsonkim4952]

Brian Zane is the Hornswoggle to Cornett’s Vince McMahon

How did you know?

[@NilsMcCloud]

I came here after Jim Cornette recently blocked Brian. Heartbroken.

[@stephenhanft1226]

Brian just did a video rant addressing Jim Cornette's behavior.

[@clicheguevara9917]

yeah it was a full blown stab in the back burial. over a Twitter block. not this channels finest hour

[@Matmus]

Cliché Guevara I think it was needlessly bitchy attempt at throwing Cornet under the bus for a Twitter block. I’m pretty sure Zane doesn’t actually think he’s a racist.

+Emperor Nero lol true, I've only seen one video where he didn't swear

[@iamdb1990]

+Shag Swag no, but now you mention it, that one too lol

[@JeffLandryComedy]

I imagine the lost footage consists of Jim Cornette telling an unnecessarily detailed story about hooking up with a ring rat after working a show for Don Owens' old territory. Brian's eyes grow wide as he connects the dots and comes to the startling realization that the "Jim Cornette's illegitimate son" joke might not be a joke after all.

[@frankbonini9128]

I Believe that Cornette Admits He Never Worked Portland/Pacific Northwest in It's Heyday ... Maybe in the 90s as a WWE Personality ...

Yep when I was 13 I fucking hated him but almost 30 now I respect him and get a hell of a laugh

That was so funny when Cornette was trying to figure out who was the lesser of two evils. He was completely confused, angry, and wanted to kill them both at the same time.

But yeah it sucks today.. HOWEVER. i got the new WWE game and i can re create all my old favorite shit.

[@joegrace5419]

I have no problem admitting that I am not a Jim Cornette fan. I respect what he did, I understand WHY people do like him. But I was born in 87, so my introduction into him was at his creative worst when he was struggling to get guys like Owen Hart, The British Bulldog and Vader the kind of spotlight they deserved in a company full of politicians. But as a kid- he just felt like he was a bit out dated and bitter. I am apologetically an attitude era baby lol but I do respect what he did. It was just not my thing. It's a strange kind of love-hate for me. While I can not deny his influence on some of the characters who I utterly adore. Truth Martini (when truth isn't being raunchy, you can see a lot of corney in him when he is being a verbal antagonist) , Davey Richards, Owen Hart & Bulldog, Larry Sweeney (R.I.P) and countless others. But a part of me always sees him as the prick with the tennis racket. So maybe that is a sign he did his job right. And there are times I feel bad, because I can tell wrestling has in many ways left a bad taste in his mouth, and for good reason. But it sometimes makes old Jim seem a bit cynical when he says things like wrestling will eventually become extinct. With all of that said, I have no problem admitting this was one of the more enjoyable interviews I have seen, both for you AND Cornette. So thank you both for sharing this with us. And seeing as I am a Wrestling With Wregret fanboy, I marked out a little to see him sporting your logo :P I am proud of ya man, from a parody to a cameo to an interview and it brought out the absolute best in you both. It's always nice to see Jim in a good mood and laughing and being so positive and not so depressed with the state of wrestling and those who inhabit it. And I think guys like you are to thank for that, this show of yours stays true to the good and has no problem embracing the bad for what it is. And this by far is your best work. I don't mean to rant but your stuff only seems to get better- and I don't know if you are ever going to be able to top this. It's nice getting to see YOU mark out a bit too, and this interview just felt full of that old wrasslin love that only fellow wrestling fans understand. And that is what makes this so great. Like I said, this might not ever be topped but because of your quality of work I am very eager to see you try. I honestly can not like this video enough.

I'm hoping that you will continue to do more of these one-on-one sit-down interviews with other legends of the business.

[@A_real_Ha_So]

I've mentioned this before and I'll state it again. As much as I admire Jim Cornette, this Young Bucks thing happened in front of a crowd of like 40 in a barn and they gave a little kid a memory he'll cherish forever. Now, if the Kayfabe era was in full effect, I'd agree with him 110% but that boat's sailed. And this is from someone who pretty much HATES that kind of thing. Damn but I'm getting old lol Heck, even Kevin Von Erich let a sick kid pin him in the ring during the 80s during their golden era to make the child happy and give them a great memory.

[@tafua_a]

Couldn't they just have sung happy birthday? If my hero just sang happy birthday instead of superkicking me in the face, I'd be happy as well

[@SaintTerrence]

It’s not that they let him pin him, it’s kicking the kid. Let the kids do whatever you want but don’t do the moves. It lessens the believability of wrestling, but hell that ship sailed years ago.

[@simonfisher7]

I think in jims eyes things like that should be done after the show like what wwe did with Connor the crusher (he won a match against triple h)

[@Glassbarbecue_]

Shawn was the best worker of the decade? Which one? The 90’s? I would put that title on Bret hitman Hart.

[@docmarten8269]

He said performer, not worker. Shawn was a better performer than Bret, but Bret was the better worker.

[@SirJoelsuf1]

I agree with Cornette's opinions on the ripoffs. I had a short stint as a manager for some throwaway no name federation and I pretty much copied Raven's look, but my promo style was a cross between The Rock and Paul Heyman. But it was over af, all I had to do was just grab the mic and people were booing their faces off. A lot of the boys thought that I was really good. I even ran into a couple of the fans after the show and they were like "you are the most convincing guy at those shows!" It was really fun, would love to do it again sometime.

[@Bob_fields]

I actually liked this a lot. I feel as fans, we like hearing what workers of the business have to say about their past and their opinions on the product, past/present.

[@cjwilliams1124]

I wish Vince would bring back managers for the guys with talent who simply can't be The Rock, Stone Cold or Scott Hall on the mic. Recently, we've had Lana and Heyman, but this video has two incredible mouthpieces that could get talent over to the moon. If Roman had a BZ, Corny or Heenan there's a good chance the man could have gotten over to every fan, not just a few. I dream of being someone to put great in ring talent over, unfortunately my local promotions don't want managers and I assume the big boys feel the same. I got faith in you, Brian... your talent, passion and knowledge of the past could bring guys (who deserve it) to the top while bringing the role of manager back. I hope one day I see you on Vince's TV creating stars that wouldn't be convincing on their own. Just my thoughts, congrats on this interview and keep making some of the best content on KZbin. wWw 4 Life

[@junglecatstevens8429]
