Jim Cornette on His Best Promos

[@HonkeyMagoo77]

Best promo Jim ever put out was the Dairy Queen incident.

[@robertnapier624]

“Hey! We ordered the fucking food!”

[@BillHill-mg3zi]

I did the same thing at Wendy’s. I threw that pink lemonade at those Mexicans.

[@kevinhenry4047]

“We order $30 worth of fucking food sit here for 15 minutes and they don’t even start fixing up until we can get up here?!”

[@babayagaslobbedaknobba]

Beat me to it. Lol! I posted the same thing before I saw your comment.

[@HonkeyMagoo77]

​@MidnightClubCountry Its the most memorable one! When I think Cornette, 3 images pop in my head - His furious look in a pink/red suit while holding a matching tennis racket, His fall / botched Big Boss Man catch, And the Dairy Queen incident. There's plenty of things he has said that are pure gold, but he is up there with Bobby Heenan in that every time Cornette talks, he gives us straight gold.

[@WrestlingRyan]

“Rick Steiner won a letter in football, and had to have somebody read it to him” 😂😂 goat shit

[@yoholmes273]

"Hulk Hogan is a household word, but so is garbage. And it stinks when it gets old too" 🗑 - Jim Cornette

[@OjaroLobo]

“Randy Savage is a legend, but let’s face it, how many records did Frank Sinatra sell last year?” - Jim Cornette

[@johnfalcetta5431]

​​@OjaroLobo "Roddy Piper was my hero as a teenager, but that was 20 years ago" Jim Cornette Ouch

[@tobiasfarragut292]

“6! 1-2-3 Kid!! WHATEVER! HIS NAMES SEAN WALTMAN and they only kept him around because the boys enjoyed watching him get drunk throw up all over himself….”

[@Cruising_On_Lake_Havasoma]

@@tobiasfarragut292 He actually apologized to Waltman for that, said he always groups him in with the Curtain Call guys even though Pac wasn't even there.

[@tobiasfarragut292]

@@Cruising_On_Lake_Havasoma I liked that 123 kid isn’t even acknowledged it’s always “Waltman”

[@Jtaylor812]

The promo he cut on his neighbors and the cop after the kid flipped his car on Corny’s fence will always be gold for me. “I hope he flatlines on the way to the hospital.” Cop: “Were you the one out here yelling?” Jim: “Yes, I wanna know who’s gonna pay for my fence!” 😂

[@seanmckinney7286]

His babyface turn in Crockett where he forgoes Mama Cornettes offer of help by saying that sometimes a man has to do things himself. Great stuff.

[@Connor-zl8gi]

The crowd went apesh*t after that line.

[@Matthew_Smith179]

Tv promo with the Midnight Express: "You wanna talk about the Varsity Club, brother. Rick Steiner won a letter in football, had to have somebody read it to him. You wanna talk about Mike Rotundo, he loves school. High school was the happiest 9 years of Mike Rotundo's life."

[@nygblue24]

I don't have a particular favorite, but I still use Cornette's line from the Slammy's of "Thank you very little, you're welcome even less" to this day.

[@InsignificantNick]

"Well, Brian Pillman was a friend of mine." That lives rent-free in my head.

[@AmateurHour1111]

“I would say what kind of character you have BUT IM NOT ALOUD TO SAY SLUT ON TELEVISION” that shit made me laugh out loud. I love Jim Cornette. Lol

[@Jtaylor812]

“Look into the eyes of the woman you tried to de-flower Shawn Michaels”😂

[@randallguzik3764]

His promo after attacking Baby Doll was epic

[@RAB6969]

came to post this. thats my favorite.

[@matthewthomas9194]

In 5 years of managing the midnight express ive been beat up striped naked fell off of scalfolds and i deserved half of it and took all of it and im still here .

[@Mike19737]

Folks we got a 12 minute Express VPN commercial.😂😂

[@jason666king]

The video we didn't deserve, but desperately needed! Thank you Jim and Brian!

[@paulc1553]

My favourites are the 1997 Jim Cornette shoot promos on RAW. "Hulk Hogan is a household word, but so is garbage. And it stinks when it gets old too."

[@michaelradtke4801]

Hulk Hogan is the greatest

[@timmyj7092]

The best!

[@themanwithnoname7576]

Not really a promo but “thank you, fuck you, bye!” Is my favorite.

[@mrbransformer4184]

I loved him putting Phil mushnick in his place!

[@dylanbolander413]

Jim Cornette as Stu Hart is what unexpectedly completed my weekend!

[@johnfalcetta5431]

"Some kind of hooooooore"

[@User11078]

the '97 anti WCW ones are goated

[@mgonzalez21986]

"It was a ruse, a ploy, a plot, a plan, a cherade, a conspiracy, a sham. We have been conned, hoodwinked, bamboozled, flim-flammed, had the wool pulled over our eyes even!"

[@RagnarokB]

Oh my god, I love the actual promo discussion, but the ad afterwards had me dying from laughter! Jim may have outclassed himself with the whole dildo store ramble

[@stonedViking304]

12:10 THAT is the exact quote AEW needs to live by and would fix so much their problems

[@Cevjryan]

When the car flipped on his fence was my favorite

[@meteor713g]

"Are you the one who was yell'n?":

[@PurpleOfRain]

I go back and listen to that from time to time 😂

[@sonsoftexas]

This was great…

[@DJM2.0]

Jim has so many great promos on TV and just as many since starting his podcasts! Brian: "Fatty Turnbuckle"... oh, that is amazing!

[@christiankarlkarganilla2763]

That Four Faces of Fear promo he did really stuck with me. All his promos were golden but that one was something else. He eloquently explained the mechanics of the match, built the Rock n Roll as threats but explained why the Bodies will still win. And he did those and then some in less than 6 mins. Watching that promo got me hyped up for a match that happened way before I was born lol.

[@jodibishop3302]

Plus dropping dates and times for each show peppered in flawlessly. Nothing compares to it, absolute perfection!

[@liamnguyen2819]

Picking the best promo of Jim's is a difficult one. And especially when you consider Jim's career or retirement even after wrestling, his gift of the gab still entertains. There's just so much to choose from. Growing up in the 90's, I was only familiar with Jim's work in the WWF. And although brief in the grand scheme of his career, I even thought he was entertaining back then like, "This crazy guy is one heck of a talker and so pissed off all the time!" Lol. But I didn't think much else. Being older now, Jim has become a legend in my book. Looking at his on-air career spanning from the 80's and onwards, the guy has done so much. And with the inclusion of this podcast that's been my saving grace as a wrestling fan for so long now, I think we all listen to him because in a way, just how he naturally talks is just like a promo lol. Favorite promo? Don't know. How can you pick when there's so many on AEW, Chris Jericho, Vince Russo, Football Field Fúckery, and even someone sneezing behind him at the post office lol. The man can talk. Jim = Legend 🙌

[@robertmccann3057]

I believe the promo he cut on the guy who sold his wife The spoiled mayonnaise, and the one he cut on the guy in line at the post office during the pandemic absolutely both need to be honorable mention

[@TheEPWF]

Brian's idea that HBK wasn't into Diana, but Jose Lothario was would've been gold back then 😆😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 (my Brian Last laugh 😆)

[@EazyE11]

Idk, the recent one he did on Nia Jax the other day was legendary 😂

[@ScottRen14]

The one where he reads from his notes 😂😂😂

[@CraigSmithII]

That was more brutal than the Tim Horner/Kenny King roasts

[@shindean]

Phonier than a get well soon card from an Undertaker was great....but then running out of gas trying to avoid her killed me 😂

[@ekmad]

Always the RAW "shoot" promos. Absolute classics

[@guystuart3196]

My favorite Jim Cornette promo was the Smokey Mountain promo after the Bodies lost LLT and he cut a promo about how the Rock n Roll express had ruined his life. And he ends with "the Bodies are leavin and Im thinkin about going with em"

[@robertmagill6005]

This Express VPN promo is absolutely Jim's best promo hands down.

[@ravenlit]

"Yer makin' Diyana look like a whoooourr!" Stu Hart's like "Macho Man": nearly everyone in the wrestling business can do a top-flight impression of him.

[@gavindoyle8717]

I remember the Diana-HBK angle and her slapping him in the middle of the ring. Corney had the look of wanting to hit HBK with the racquet.

[@Grunt126]

Awesome listen, as always! Showing my age but I loved The Ghost and Mr Chicken comment. Don Knotts…Legend!

[@BabyCee713]

Ready for the glue factory! 😂😂😂😂 I spit my drink!!!

[@robintst]

I loved Jim's rant on Raw about the Hogan/Piper cage match WCW had put on where he said, "by the 10 minute mark they were sucking wind so bad the first three rows passed out of oxygen deprivation."

[@PHILD0]

That Express VPN promo has to go into any future Commercials comp. "This is not a Dildo snitching setup!" 😂

[@L_Train]

One of my favorites is called 7/93 Jim Cornette Insults Harrisonburg. He talks about the Armstrong family and the interviewer can't hold in his laughter.

[@baugh3162]

"....there has been some intermarriage in that family, that's why sometimes .... ..... .... they do that"

[@L_Train]

@@baugh3162 yes! Haha

[@robertmccann3057]

I love all of Jim's promos but my favorite is the promo he cut on the lady who wanted to give him her name and number after the car on the fence incident because she was late for work

[@Blk.Philip]

The promo he cut putting Austin Ares in his place was gold 😂

[@RossiPosse13]

Love that you's mentioned and that Brian even remembered about Fat Frank.. Popped the second I heard the slight off saying of his last name but we all been there lol was just nice cuz all of us and his widow remember him GREATLY for since he was a giant child.. Thanks to Frank letting me train young I got to meet alot of ppl even Jim when he managed the Briscoes at the RexPlex and defeated me n my brother of Special K for their 1st ROH tag run.. Also R.I.P. Jay I Love and Miss you Brother!! Happy I got to be the JAPW tag champ with you for that summer fued with yous and the hit squad 🙏🙏🙏.. You'd be proud of Mark and what he does in and especially out of the ring for everyone.. even in ri g with Tony looking like he's trying to keep his head underwater when he could have had the greatest storyline run for the family and to the top

[@Weedhustleloverespect]

Jim does the best ad reading I have ever heard. I swear, sometikes they're the best part of the review

[@claybaxter3202]

I always enjoyed his Camp Cornette promos with Bulldog and Yoko.

[@sugartbube]

I miss going to the adult stores. Lmao

[@augustushaynes1311]

I love the “fornicator” promo, and I also love the promo Jim cut on HBK just before the Summerslam 1996 match with Vader, complete with a Peter Frampton reference. So good.

[@benespinosa6725]

Jim cornette's promo on sunshine where he said she's been on more street corner than the dallas times herald that one and the promo he cut on shawn michaels were he called him a fornicator are easily my favorites.

[@wilcee238]

That Sunshine promo had me rolling.

[@benespinosa6725]

​@@wilcee238LMAO same here that was phenomenal 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Mike-id4kq]

The one you did about the horseman was my favorite. In the ballpark area was" You just jump on somebody that will jump back." Loved that and the ones when you tore into JJ Dillion.

[@johnfalcetta5431]

I remember being in Ft Worth when he cut a promo on Sunshine. I couldn't believe he said it. I always wondered if he got heat with Fritz over it 😂😂😂

[@thatonebritishidiot3037]

could always shoot him an email and ask

[@priyansuacharya37]

His best promos are those where he talks about Vince Russo. I'm sure he can't even argue with that.

[@JaculaDudek]

Nothing about the fence???

[@tommymclaughlin80swrestlin70]

NWA 1988 with JJ Dillion and a close 2nd ,after they won the NWA belts from Tully and Arn...3rd Bobby Eaton...about Arn Anderson I'm not ignoring his SMW promos but..the ones I mentioned represented a surprise face turn

[@lovelywaz]

Chris Jericho may not be a household word, but garbage sure is. And they both stink when get old... 😣😣

[@davidfrederick1971]

I also really enjoyed his retaliation on the Rock-n-Roll Express title win in Philadelphia in 1986. "we beat their brains out for 30 solid minutes". It was 24 minutes and Ricky & Robert dominated the match.

[@misterelom]

That first Cornette babyface promo the week after the Paul E & Original Midnights attack was absolute gold & one of the greatest promos of all time in general. Makes me want to pull up that promo again.

[@WyattHolliday]

“You got a mouth full of memories you can’t back up anymore.”

[@sweetpetergeda]

Beat promo from Jim was the 1 about the so called icons of wrestling on that raw 1997 episode

[@TheGoodReverendSatan]

The promo on mushnik on raw was one of the best I think

[@deputay]

There are so many great ones, but the NWA 6:05 promo where he's rattling off headlines from the Weekly World News, not wanting to be put into a straight jacket, and finishing with "I just hope I won't get hurt, Bobby!" as Bobby hugs him and Stan acknowledges the crowd...incredible promo!

[@MPK112233]

All of this podcasts episodes are good..but every once in a while you get a golden one like this.

[@MidTennPews]

Not promo but my favorite Jim line is "Thank you, fuck you, bye. -James E Cornette

[@wmsd45]

The bloody jacket promo on Heyman. There as so many other great ones but as Corny says this was his Citizen Kane moment

[@mjolden]

My favorite Corny promo, other than the promo after Heyman hit him with the cellphone, is probably the one where he ripped Phil Mushnick a new asshole on Raw for talking about Pillman.

[@iamdb1990]
