[@RxCanadAxR]

James E. Cornette is one of the most real people to come out of the sport of wrestling. It would be an honor and a privilege to meet the man and maybe even share a beer. Great trailer!

[@eals524]

25 seconds in I realise just how much I want this DVD :)

[@bigbadbatfleck7442]

Awesome you guys can release a cornette dvd once a week and it would never get boring he's got great stories

[@TheMotherfer]

Best explanation ever about a great match.

[@ToruKun1]

Corny wearing a shirt of himself is great

[@philaman1972]

Paul Levesque, hire Jim Cornette for a WWE Network show!

[@timmutohfan]

philaman1972 this and then put both versions of his midnight express in the hof.

[@travismcdonald6576]

philaman1972 Considering that Cornette once stated that he would rather watch a dog licks it's own ball than listen to a HHH promo, doubt that will ever happen.

[@ecwfaithful]

+Travis McDonald Then again, he did say that he was a good worker and student of the game.

[@matthewp.3392]

lmao I spilled my beer out of my nose at that intro god damn!

[@matthewp.3392]

happened a second time with the Arn line....

[@ScumBagInFL]

Me too man, amazing line

[@MISTERMOODYHYADD]

Tickle the taint!

[@racrav]

This was great. Thanks once again.

[@DavidM563]

1:40 - Vintage Cornette Shoot Interview.

[@kevinsbestsubscribe7599]

Can't wait to get this! Just the same with all of his commentaries.

[@amandalively1]

Jim is great. Love the hand job example.

[@JackgarPrime]

Oh hey, did Jim lose more weight? He's looking better here than he has in the last 10 years.

[@jonathanturbide2232]

JackgarPrime Two words = Sprite zero!

[@tims2510]

Time away from the inner workings of a wrestling company for the first time in 30 odd years is seriously extending his life.

[@cranberryflags]

It's amazing what the desire to live long enough to p*ss on Russo's grave can do for your health...

[@stormydavis8546]

I’m gonna laugh about that opening for days

[@joseaguilera6355]

Just pre ordered this can't wait tll it goes in

[@bighomiehandlebar7698]

I love WCW 1989- 1990

[@JHesse1897]

I need this on my shelf

[@nightcat23]

Why don't more top people in wrestling listen to Cornette???!!

[@wa2k1999]

nightcat23 Because he insults everyone and can't control his temper

[@crazyhayn]

nightcat23 Doesn't play well with others in Creative. Corny obviously has a great mind for pro wrestling. His reputation is he tends to blow up at people when his ideas aren't booked.

[@DreDaDon16]

nightcat23 He was wrong about Kevin Steen that's why

[@DreDaDon16]

***** He said Steen is nothing more than a high school gym indie wrestler, now Steen will be going head to head with John Cena on PPV I love corny but he's not always right he said Batista would never be a star now Batista is gonna be in the next James Bond movie.

[@DreDaDon16]

b09h I love his shoots I can listen to this guy talk all day but he failed in ROH and he is kinda out of touch with the business

[@akuma4u]

shampoo a buffalo LOL

[@DavidM563]

Sean can you please ask Jim to clear his throat more, drink more sprite, eat more Dairy Queen. He's looking far too healthy.

[@jonathanturbide2232]

Everybody hate Jim Herd!

[@30907bng]

That muthafucka I love Jim cornette.

[@stbreal]

does Jim Cornette age?

[@fuscinula]

Road Warrior Hawk sold the tennis racket???

[@fuscinula]

I know, I just found it weird that Hawk would sell it, considering he often no-sold piledrivers...

[@fuscinula]

Oh ok, didn't know that. So, it was just like Missy Hyatt's handbag.

[@WixMoran]

I remember them pulling the cover off the racket once and it was indeed loaded with a horseshoe wrapped in a chain.

[@TheJoec2005]

were bringing back the iron sheik another top main event star and were all what? I can't stop laughing

[@ramirer9561]

Lower the price to $15 for on demand and I'll buy it

[@mider9996]

Wholeheartedly

[@benrichards399]

"tickle the taint?!"

[@joeyowens1974]

BOOMGoesTheDynamite!

[@jaredbellow]

Shampoo a buffalo...LMAO.

[@orangeandblackps]

Wholeheartedly......wholeheartedly 😁😁

[@Shelver92]

wtf@4:56

[@defiantone8556]

I have to disagree with Jim on one thing. Well 2 actually. The first is, the Freebirds were always putting teams over. All anyone has to do is look at how many times they put the Von Erichs over back in the day. Come to think of it, they even put teams over during their UWF days too. So for Jim to sit there and say they don't is rather laughable. Maybe they didn't wanna put the Midnight's over, but who's to say? After as many years in the business as the Freebirds were in, maybe by this time, they felt, "Hey, let someone else put someone over for a change." Like I said, who's to say? Not taking sides, cos we only have just one side & that's Cornette's. It sure would be interesting to here the OTHER side, just to see who's telling the truth. And in no way am I comparing the two teams, cos they were both great in their day, I'm just saying that, the Freebirds seemed to put teams over many a times in their career's, cos as a heel, that was their job. That & to raise the heat, which they did well. Hayes was a good mic man & an average wrestler. Not a bad wrestler, but I'd say he was at least average. Roberts was a great wrestler with allot of experience while Gordy was simply bad ass all the way, with the best future of the 3. Garvin on the other hand, IMO just wasn't dirty enough at times to be a bona fide heel, IMO. His style was better suited in World Class. But as a Freebird? I don't know about that one. But I think Cornette said IMO that Hayes was a terrible worker, because he didn't wanna put the Express or the tennis racket over. But in either case, it still would be interesting to here both sides of this one. And the 2nd thing I disagree with is, If it was just Cornette & Hayes in the same room, I highly doubt he smarted off to Hayes like he said he did. lol Not saying they were or weren't the only ones in the room when that happened, cos I wasn't there. But I bet if they were, & Cornette smarted off like that, Hayes probably would of popped him one. lol But then again, who's to say? Till we get both sides on this, I guess we'll never really know.

[@defiantone8556]

+MemphoWrasslin1 With all do respect, you don't know what Hayes said, cos much like myself, we weren't there. But that said, Hayes wasn't really that old at the time. And he himself even said he would of wrestled longer had it not been due to a neck injury he received while in WCW. And like I said in my initial post, we only have one version to this & that's Jim's. I'm not taking sides, but it would be nice to get BOTH versions in all fairness. Plus, the Freebirds also competed in the AWA & the UWF so they DID in fact face allot of different teams over the years & not just the Von Erichs all the time. As a matter of fact, they weren't really in World Class all that long when you stop to think about it. They were there for about 3 or 4 years during that run they had with the Von Erichs. It might of been longer had the Von Erichs not died off like they did. And as for Hayes & Garvin, they were the ONLY Freebirds to ever win the World Tag Team titles. Not even the original formation can stake that claim. So since they won em, maybe I could see or at least understand Hayes's side in not wanting to job to anyone or at least to some of the teams. Not saying he was right or wrong, but its like I said, till we get both sides, guess we'll never fully know.

[@defiantone8556]

+MemphoWrasslin1 I know how the business works & you said in your first post you said Hayes "basically said," giving the impression you was there when you wasn't. But that said, it DOES matter when it comes to titles. When was the last time you saw a card where the World Champion was a mid card match? That's not how you book a card. A good booker or one who knows what he or she is doing, don't book title holders on the under-card. That's what mid-carders are for. The more prestigious the title means to the company, the DEEPER on the card their match should be. Its called smart booking. Simple but fact. But every promoter is different, so to each their own. lol

[@defiantone8556]

+MemphoWrasslin1 I never said a world tag match did headline a PPV Where do you see that? All I said was, depending on how PRESTIGIOUS the titles are, if your a good or smart booker who knows what your doing, they should be booked deeper on the card & not booked at the mid-card level. The World Title & the World Tag Team Titles are the two most sought after titles in any federation & should be booked as such. And if their not, the booker don't have a damn clue about the business then.

[@defiantone8556]

+MemphoWrasslin1 In this video we don't know who was the champions, so who's to say the Express were, either? Not saying you said they were, but it goes back to what I initially said. We only have 1 side to this, so far. That's why I said it would be nice to get both sides. And even if the birds weren't the champions at the time in question, just because you lose a title, don't mean that you should get mid-card status. Ever here of a rematch? Like I said, if you have any brains (I'm talking about the booker here) a smart booker would book the world title as the main event aka the last match on the card & the world tag titles right before it, cos in tag team wrestling those titles are what the world title is. Only difference is, its not a singles title. As for doing what a booker says or not, Steve Austin didn't wanna job to Brock Lesnar. So all this video proves is, Hayes wasn't the only one who didn't wanna job. And come to think of it, Austin nor Brock held a title either. Like I said, not all bookers are the same.

[@defiantone8556]

+MemphoWrasslin1 According to what Cornette said, all Hayes said was, he wasn't gonna "sell" the tennis racket. That's not a job. A job is losing a match. And who's to say that Cornette's even telling us the truth? It all goes back to what I said earlier, & that is, it sure would be nice to get BOTH sides of this. Not saying Hayes's would be the truth but by weighing both sides we could get a more clear picture on exactly who IS telling the truth. As for walking out or getting fired by a booker, speaking just for myself, I wouldn't know, seeings I wasn't there. As for Jim Herd, no one seemed to like him cos he according to the talent roster, knew nothing about the business.

[@chrisf2615]

As much as I love Jim Cornette the man always has a opinion, and backhanded insult to EVERYONE in the business. Love his stories, but after awhile there has to be a reason he has so many enemies in the business. There is only one common denominator with all the people he doesn't get along with.... Him.

[@chrisf2615]

Indeed he is a Wrestling God... But even God's can be assholes... Just ask that Job guy.
