Jim Cornette Reviews Chris Jericho vs Eddie Kingston (Barbed Wire Everywhere Match) on AEW Dynamite

[@Simouno]

Tay Conti that can't open the cage because the key doesn't fit the lock is the perfect metaphor for AEW product. They have the tools, they just have no idea how to make them work

[@pirateradio6429]

My thoughts: 1) It's weird that I have never heard Jim Cornette trash Mick Foley, Terry Funk, The Sheik, Dory Funk Sr., Dusty Rhodes, etc. This is not the first barbed wire match and it won't be the last. 2) Do I have a problem with a Barbed Wire Match being done. Absolutely not. Do I think you should give away a Barbed Wire Match on free television? No, I don't think you should. Make people pay to see that. Rule of thumb should be: Texas Deathmatches, Barbed Wire Matches, & Exploding Barbed Wired Deathmatches (Like Onita & Funk), Should strictly be on PPV. You can give away any other gimmick match for national television, Whether it's a ladder match, cage match, first blood match, submission match, etc. But the three above that, Should be PPV specials only. 3) Do I think you should book gimmick matches every week. Absolutely not. Gimmick matches should be used for one of two reasons. It needs to be either the blow off match for the feud, or it needs have some prize stipulations, Where there is something major to be gained by winning it. Example: Money In The Bank Ladder Match, The Royal Rumble, Torneo Cibernetico, etc. By winning the match, You earned a major prize. No different then having a tournament. 4) Was this Barbwire Match overbooked? Yes. Too many moving pieces involved and the Anna Jay turn at the end, I thought was a bad move.I probably would have inserted her into the Jungle Boy & Christian Cage storyline, After Luchasaurus pulls what Mark Henry did to John Cena years ago. Then she tries to stop a beatdown on Jungle Boy and she's is inserted into the program as Jungle Boy's valet and he now has some stakes on the line. This way down the road, You could have did Jungle Boy & Anna Jay vs Sammy Guevara & Tay Conti. Too late now I guess. It made no sense. If they were gonna add anyone new to the JAS, I probably would have went with Griff Garrison. Due to Guevara's friendship with him, His resemblance to a young Jericho and having the tools needed potentially get over down the road, But may need some direction. 5) Tony Khan & The Wrestlers need to start telling the director in the truck, Whenever there is a blade spot, When the spot is happening and where it is happening, So they can avoid the d*mn camera angle. It almost seems like they are trying to do it on purpose. 6) Jim is saying that USA Network & FOX Network wouldn't want anything to do with a product like AEW's, With the blood & cussing, When they are in fact PUSHING WWE to be edgier. There has been a active push for that behind the scenes, At those two networks. 7) Next time you do a Barbwire Match, Leave out the "Barbwire Everywhere". The damn philosophy & psychology of the Barbwire Match, As invented & intended by the old schoolers, Wasn't to have barbwire everywhere, So the wrestlers can do spots & take bumps in. The psychology was meant for building up tension by TRYING TO AVOID THE BARBWIRE. The same thing was applicable for Atsushi Onita's "Exploding Barbwire Deathmatches". The focus is on trying to AVOID IT, Until the right time for the couple of spots, That ENDS THE MATCH. I appreciate the effort though. I would have produced it different but I appreciate the effort.

Chris Jericho is so desperate to be Sabu with these "hardcore" barbed wire matches. Except Sabu, during a barbed wire match nearly had his bicep completely ripped off his arm by a barbed wire rope but he taped it back on and continued wrestling.

[@bradcarver8127]

Chris Jericho was offered a spot in both Metallica and The Rolling Stones, but he turned them both down.

[@Cruising_On_Lake_Havasoma]

Why would you want to be Sabu when you're already more famous and successful than Sabu? That's like Steph Curry saying he wants to be like JaVale McGee. (Just to be clear I'm calling Jericho an idiot, not you OP.)

[@coldbrutalhonesty]

Legend has it that, Tay Conti is still trying to open the padlock. For a second, I thought AEW can't become any worse than it has been for a while now...but this show proved that it can. It got me more excited for Shark Week than to tune in next week for Dynamite or Friday for Rampage.

I disagree with you that Kingston's palatable on the mic. The only thing he was good at was sounding like a tough, blue collar guy on the mic. Then being the dumbass that he is, Kingston complained about body shamers, which is the equivalent of admitting he's a fake tough guy not to be taken seriously.

I really can't decide what I like best about this classic for the ages... Jericho blading in full view of the entire planet (again-again), Jericho breaking his own nose like a meth'd-out backyarder in his first match, Jericho blatantly putting his arm through the barbed wire loop so Kingston could "choke" him better? Tay Conti viciously punching her own hand on Ruby Soho's shoulder, Tay viciously punching air molecules away from her opponent, Ruby punching with an "injured" hand, Tay Conti fumbling around with the padlock for a million years, the Jericoque-suckers just casually squeezing themselves through the bars of the cage sideways with zero difficulties? Or Kingston's Backfist of Doom? So many nuggets to pick from in this turd. It was a Bountiful Barbed-Wire Bollocks Botch Buffet. One more thing, the next time Tony's tykes run their mouths about "fat '80s Southern wrestlers that looked like crap", just show them a picture of Eddie Kingston. Bobby Eaton looked like Lex Luger in comparison.

[@nickhughes8179]

Heck, just show them some Jeribloat pictures. Jeribloat’s pants don’t have a waistline, they have a coast line. Every time Jerikishi blades, bubbly and Ragu pour out. Way2Fat once rented a cruise ship for himself which capsized from over loading.

I want Sabu to fly to Amarillo, sit with Terry funk, and do a reaction video to the match. And compare the end of born to be wired where they had to be separated in the giant ball, to jericho taking minutes to be freed while whimpering from the sparsely covered board. Just to give giddy marks some perspective on what having barbed wire everewhere really looks like.

[@DoubleMeatpalace]

At one point in the first few months of AEW when Jericho was champion there was legit talk of him being one of if not the best of all time with all the gimmicks he had gotten over and how well he did reinventing himself. Now, he's pretty much washed all that away.

[@brianmilici3473]

[@rl318]

When I saw Ruby sitting at ringside with the control for the cage, I knew things would go downhill. And man, did they outdo themselves with nonsensical run-ins and chaos in the middle of a gimmick match. Sammy not being out there was a dead give-away, but when Tai came out to jump Ruby, and then Anna Jay came out and did a heel turn, it became even more of a clown car.

[@timothypaige807]

This match shows everyone on how self-absorbed and ignorant Jericho is in AEW. Rather that getting talents over, like he said he does in his Inside The Ropes Interview. He literally either slow their momentum or buried them to get himself over. I hate the fact that Jericho later on goes to do interviews and not only exposing the business saying, “We work together” despite being enemies on screen. But explaining how brilliant the feud was, even though it wasn’t. Jericho in AEW shows everybody that this verison of Jericho isn’t the Jericho from WCW or WWE that was helping talents getting over. But rather Middle-Life Crisis Jericho that taking role of Hulk Hogan in TNA, back in 2010s.

[@timothypaige807]

Lastly, this is problem with AEW is that people can’t take criticism. Like I prefer to watch AEW over WWE cause of guys like MJF, Punk, and FTR. But literally AEW can’t take criticism without getting butt hurt about it, from Tony, Omega, Bucks, and rest of their friends in the indies that can’t take criticism. This is why I enjoy Jim Podcast cause he points out all the flaws and real GOOD stuff of pro-wrestling rather than “GOOD” stuffs that internet marks claimed to be, since Twinkle Toes and Hardly Boyz said so.

The way jim says barbed wire always gets me 😂😂😂

[@pirateradio6429]

My thoughts: 1) It's weird that I have never heard Jim Cornette trash Mick Foley, Terry Funk, The Sheik, Dory Funk Sr., Dusty Rhodes, etc. This is not the first barbed wire match and it won't be the last. 2) Do I have a problem with a Barbed Wire Match being done. Absolutely not. Do I think you should give away a Barbed Wire Match on free television? No, I don't think you should. Make people pay to see that. Rule of thumb should be: Texas Deathmatches, Barbed Wire Matches, & Exploding Barbed Wired Deathmatches (Like Onita & Funk), Should strictly be on PPV. You can give away any other gimmick match for national television, Whether it's a ladder match, cage match, first blood match, submission match, etc. But the three above that, Should be PPV specials only. 3) Do I think you should book gimmick matches every week. Absolutely not. Gimmick matches should be used for one of two reasons. It needs to be either the blow off match for the feud, or it needs have some prize stipulations, Where there is something major to be gained by winning it. Example: Money In The Bank Ladder Match, The Royal Rumble, Torneo Cibernetico, etc. By winning the match, You earned a major prize. No different then having a tournament. 4) Was this Barbwire Match overbooked? Yes. Too many moving pieces involved and the Anna Jay turn at the end, I thought was a bad move.I probably would have inserted her into the Jungle Boy & Christian Cage storyline, After Luchasaurus pulls what Mark Henry did to John Cena years ago. Then she tries to stop a beatdown on Jungle Boy and she's is inserted into the program as Jungle Boy's valet and he now has some stakes on the line. This way down the road, You could have did Jungle Boy & Anna Jay vs Sammy Guevara & Tay Conti. Too late now I guess. It made no sense. If they were gonna add anyone new to the JAS, I probably would have went with Griff Garrison. Due to Guevara's friendship with him, His resemblance to a young Jericho and having the tools needed potentially get over down the road, But may need some direction. 5) Tony Khan & The Wrestlers need to start telling the director in the truck, Whenever there is a blade spot, When the spot is happening and where it is happening, So they can avoid the d*mn camera angle. It almost seems like they are trying to do it on purpose. 6) Jim is saying that USA Network & FOX Network wouldn't want anything to do with a product like AEW's, With the blood & cussing, When they are in fact PUSHING WWE to be edgier. There has been a active push for that behind the scenes, At those two networks. 7) Next time you do a Barbwire Match, Leave out the "Barbwire Everywhere". The damn philosophy & psychology of the Barbwire Match, As invented & intended by the old schoolers, Wasn't to have barbwire everywhere, So the wrestlers can do spots & take bumps in. The psychology was meant for building up tension by TRYING TO AVOID THE BARBWIRE. The same thing was applicable for Atsushi Onita's "Exploding Barbwire Deathmatches". The focus is on trying to AVOID IT, Until the right time for the couple of spots, That ENDS THE MATCH. I appreciate the effort though. I would have produced it different but I appreciate the effort.
