Jim Cornette Was A Menace On The Mic

Cussing or not, it's always entertaining hearing Cornette speak

[@KamoMustafaWWE]

Most definitely

[@americanagothic7851]

Corny definitely comes up with some very entertaining ways of describing things 😂

[@ChrisSuperDude]

He’s better when he’s not cursing or at least limits it. When you can’t say “fuck” or “asshole” every other word you have to get more creative with your put downs instead of relying on “fuck you, Shawn Michaels”.

[@marakalos3838]

@@ChrisSuperDudeIt’s impressive honestly! It really encourages the rest of us to have better language skills just for creativity in trash talk!

[@LobsterRavioli]

What I always liked about Cornette was how he hated HBK as a human, but never denied his in ring abilities. Not many people have an ability to differentiate the two.

[@brianstone3722]

Totally agree and he was absolutely right 😂 love corny.

[@Moromilkyway]

He does that a lot tbh there’s a lot of wrestlers that he might hate as human beings but if they talented he would always acknowledge it and give the props

[@BretGriffis]

Reminds me of when he was talking shit about Tim Horner but admitted that he was a a solid worker

[@e32b61]

@@MoromilkywayIt works in reverse, too. There are people he likes as people but hates their work as wrestlers and wishes they’d do something else. He speaks fondly of Jorge González for instance while acknowledging the obvious that he was untrainable. He watched some interviews with Danhausen and absolutely loved the gimmick but refused to watch him wrestle because he didn’t want to ruin his opinion of the guy.

[@tomsanford9391]

there is another wrestler like that but i won’t say his name.he is one of my favorite wrestlers but i can’t justify his last days on earth.

Cornette should offer a Master's Class on how to deliver a promo. Very few people on his level.

[@andrewbauer6136]

You know he trained ALOT of WWE talent in the early 00's he ran OWV wrestling WWE's developmental. Like John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton, Batista. So I'm pretty sure he did teach a masterclass on how to deliver a promo.

[@XJ9sodypop]

its an old school southern thing of some sort. idc if jim thinks he's a midwest guy. most people think wrestling is a southern circus. without jim ross or corn wrestling wouldnt have its own identity

Household word line was incredible

[@Cloudy_Jones]

That might be the most insulting thing he’s heard because it’s the only insult he can’t just say he’s the most successful wrestler of all time to get out of because that’s what makes the insult hit.

God, I may not agree with all of Corny's takes but man you just can't deny his flow when he spits facts.

[@natebaxter9551]

​@@JayStar-yj9punah, Cornette actually apologized to Waltman a year later for that one. He knew he went too hard.

[@peterp2153]

I heard Cornette felt bad in retrospect about that Waltman comment.

[@lucas57048]

I heard he apologised to Waltman about that comment.

[@Pensfan5919]

Jim apologized the next year when Waltman came back after Mania 14. Both Jim and Sean have talked about how if Jim didn't say it during a blind rage before hand (where those 97 vignettes came from), he wouldn't have put it on tv.

[@dominiquejones3805]

Really?That's wassup

[@Doc_Valparaiso]

@@Pensfan5919 I'm sure there were kernels of truth in Corny's vignette. But, he also knew that Shawn Waltman could wrestle. He did some amazing work as the Lightening/1-2-3 Kid. And, could adapt as a face or heel. Maybe not a main event draw. But, he was a very solid mid-card worker. Jim values work. And, Shawn paid his dues for years prior to WWF and WCW. ...So, I can understand why Cornette honed in on the "silly drunk" outside of the ring aspect. WCW and the NWO as a whole were Cornette's targets. Shawn Waltman was collateral damage at the time.

So many great Corny moments and lines when he was managing the Midnight Express. (Loved his spoiled rich kid mamas boy persona, it was straight 🔥).

I've heard guy's like Pritchard say that gimmick was a shoot, and Corny was a spoiled rich momma's boy. Which kinda makes the whole thing even funnier.

Jim cornette is by far my favorite manager even better than hennan and heyman also his podcast is amazing

[@moffjerjerrod1579]

The best part of all these promos is that they let Cornette do them because in booking meetings he would just go off on rants and tangents about wrestling and wrestlers and they did these to let him do it on tv too.

[@mae2759]

The one-liners in those shoot promos are gold! "Moving from Louisville to Connecticut is like trading a Hawaiian vacation for a bed in the cancer ward." lol!

[@jaxonjaxoff3291]

The nicest insult he ever gave was “And Randy Savage is a legend, but how many records did Sinatra sell last year?” 😬 the thing was in 1997 Savage was still good lol.

[@JaceyMitchell]

He handled Savage with velvet gloves compared to everyone else because he was really grateful to Randy for putting Smoky Mountain Wrestling over when they had the talent exchange deal with the WWF. Savage was booked to perform on a SMW show and win a match against Bruiser Bedlam. Savage came up to Jim and told him "I'll only be here one night. For Bedlam this is his main gig. Let me put him over." So Savage used his backstage pull to change the booking and make him lose a match against the local talent. That made him earn Cornette's undying respect.

[@TheDistantman]

Say what you want about corny, his rants are always on point and truth. Be told he has a point on a lot of modern-day wrestling.

[@ef7558]

You should hear his rants on Jim Herd. I damned near pissed myself from laughing so hard!

Jim Cornette is the reason we still have decent Tag Team wrestling today. He MADE both the Midnight Express and his eternal enemies The Rock N' Roll Express....

[@HeartOfALion313]

Greatest Manager of all time

[@7bootzy]

100% he got some sort of brain injury from that lightning strike back in the 90s. He's had major issues with mood regulation and anger his whole life, but it was a dramatic change around that time and it's gotten worse. I'm sure working for the WWF later on didn't help.

[@XJ9sodypop]

yeah the fact that he is on reddit all day larping as an activist icon.......... he is a male catlady. the anger theme now makes sense

He's almost always right when it comes to pro wrestling (not politics but that's a different story) and probably the most knowledgeable and entertaining person there is on wrestling.
