3:30:34 onward - Legit made me LOL in public when I first heard it... and listened to it again another 3 times. 🤣🤣
Backlash review starts at 43:00
🙂
Not all heroes wear capes
Bless
@@HoboJoeShow Sometimes, a cape is all I wear.
Mr Last cutting a Paul Heyman promo from the 90s at the end is so funny 🤣
LMAO, these two sound more like when my dad & I talk it up sometimes. Mr. Last is that perfect child that Jim always wanted!!
Young Rick moranis would have killed it playing jim
Just received my "Thank you, Fuck you Bye", tshirt... I love it.
Nice shirt.
Out law comic books 🤣🤣 Love this podcast !!
If it meant having a conversation with Jim, I'd be glad to leave a tip at the fulfillment center. 🤣
Since nobody on Young Rock looks like their wrestler, I think Idris Elba should play Corny.
You should play Liberace
That ending though
I'm loving the Mama Cornette stories in this episode. I would've paid money to see her explain to Jim why he couldn't make the Tarzan movie.
Yeah i love Mama Cornette. It’s the internet series we all need.
The other day I was watching AEW and The Big Show Paul White was on commentary. I swear that at times when Paul White was speaking I was hearing the Gorilla Monsoon. The pitch and cadence of his voice sometimes lines up perfectly with him, and that brought back some good memories. Has anyone else experienced this?
To make it official, I'd like to hear Paul White start using terms like "Pearl Harbor job", "Goodnight Irene", and "lower lumbar region".
That's crazy. I thought I was alone on this. This is the first comment I've seen bring this up. He sounded just like Gorilla. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
@@Steely_Fran Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan were my favorite commentary team.
@@bobbyb5546 Mine too.
@@bobbyb5546 Absolutely! They had a certain chemistry that no one has been able to reproduce ever since.
Brian reminded me of the micro machines guy at the end there. 😂
Madcap Moss is a blue chipper athlete inside the ring. He's built like a brick shithouse, possesses incredible strength, and his speed is even more impressive! He was just fine as Riddick Moss a couple of years back when he first came into WWE and for the life of me, I cannot fathom why they're keeping him doing the Madcap schtick now that he's broken away from Happy Corbin?! He could be a major player, but instead, they present him as a dork. I hope WWE eventually sees that he doesn't need this played-out gimmick and that he's capable of getting over on his in-ring skills.
Riddick Moss never got over. This character, as dorky as it is, is more memorable, popular and succesful. This is the state of wrestling these days. Tis for kids basically
@@buried2getover499 He didn't really get the chance as Riddick Moss, but he did have an impressive undefeated streak going for awhile. What happened this past Friday on SmackDown with the chair necktie and the Andre The Giant Memorial Trophy was brutal! That one wasn't for the kiddies. lol
Gotdamn it, thank you Jim for shouting out one of childhood favorites in The Heculoids... #MyChildhoodCartoons... 💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Justice for Swarmy - ten mins sofa snuggles minimum!
People have said Philip Seymour Hoffman could've played Bruce Prichard and I totally see that. Not Hoffman as Cornette though. He doesn't look a whole lot like Jim but I bet Fred Armisen could do a good job
That ending was epic. Brian was so fast, Ji, didn't even have enough time to hit a sound effect at "mothership".
Brian had a bit of a meltdown at the end! 😂
I was also waiting for you to comment on Takeshita because I said the same thing. It would make sense as he came from the DDT promotion
That ending... was phenomenal
The event is actually called Wrestlemania Backlash instead of just Backlash? 😂 next will be Wrestlemania Summerslam 2022
LMFAO why don't they just call it backlash since it's already the Backlash after Wrestlemania Typical WWE always fixing something that's not broken.
I’m sure the thinking is getting the Wrestlemania branding out there as much as possible and also maybe they think or have metrics that say advertising it as Wrestlemania Backlash vs Backlash draws more? Idk that’s all I can think.
Love this podcast because it is so much more than wrestling. I don't know much about comics but my niece and nephew are crazy about them. So Jim educates me on those . And Mama Cornette is so much like my own late mama. And love the banter. 😀
I look forward to Cornette telling me how his french drains and yard work is going. In between those excellent commercials, I might add. It's a shame he has to stick with current wrestling so much, and not other stuff, but I get it. I was hoping he would get back to the wrestling talent reports. I enjoyed those, because Cornette & Last have to explain the verbiage and vernacular/slang, and the context. The new wrestling stuff I don't care about. I won't be watching wrestling any time soon no matter who it is.
I thought losing a I quit match me and you get fired that's why it's called an I quit match
On request by El Santo, he was buried with his famous silver mask.
Well done Brian brilliant show closer
I never had stairs as a kid. So my friends got to play with his Two story house 🏘️ and slinky. Not me.
If I was Brian, I'd have read out the final spiel like Andre the Giant cutting a promo and let Jim piss himself
Seth's on PCP, Riddle is on weed, and apparently Wendy Choo is on Somas. 😁
I love how the show is based on wrestling but they never want to watch wrestling 😂
That’s what happens when 80% of wrestling today is either boring, repetitive or goofy because the superstars are laughing with everyone calling it fake
They want to watch wrestling. But what WWE and AEW are doing isn't wrestling...
Let the rest of us know where the actual wrestling is. 😂
@@maxxdahl6062 The 70s
@@yourgrammarisnotverygood1827 And 80's, and 90's, but sure as hell nothing on national television right now.
Awesome Shoot Today Jim!!😎🐐🐐
I think right now Roman Reigns could make a good Bond villian's lead henchman. In the tradition of Togo, Peter Maivia, and Batista.
1:47:10 Paul Dano (The Riddler from "The Batman")
I thought for years that design on AJ's gloves was P1, as in Player One in a videogame
Only Danny DeVito could pull off Jim Cornette convincingly
It would be fantastic if there were any kind of values for wrestling memorabilia especially the Apter magazines because I have a boatload of them still dating back to the early 70s 💪
If your wanting to sell some things I'd do my homework in trying to contact Jim himself to see if he was possibly interested in any of the mem. You have as he is a avid collector.. id say some could be worth a few bucks for sure
Jim Carrey could pull it off playing Jim Cornette
Lil reminds me of ace Ventura going down all the steps singing everyone loves a slinky
"Angel Dust Kid" I can totally see that now that Brian explained it in that sense. I can't stand Seth 'Freakin' Rollins character but not only that I can't stand the sight of him either. Brian screaming 'The mothership' is much better!
More trivia!
Minutes before clicking this video was literally helping my niece try to get a slinkie down the stairs. Hers was plastic, and DOES NOT WORK
As long as I have a face trish tratus will always have a place to sit
@Tim Hater's Other Stuff And no chance. lol
Lol this was legend
...
Trish stratus belong for n my face, and no others. Fight me.
im sure she'd rather stand.
WHAT's the price of Cornette Comics #1 ? 🤣
1:47:00~ ish. Paul Dano could play Jim Cornette
Jc nailed the hardys and the hotshotting U know Jeff and darby tried to throw themselves to death last week, me neither
"There could be a cardboard cutout." Yeah, Shimmer actually had a cardboard cutout manager, with its own license. And if they can do it, then don't go giving WWE ideas! I get tickled by Cornette complaining about wrestlers in tag team matches just disappearing. I once booked a tag team match where the two men not legal got in a fight outside of the ring. The promotion only had one cameraman, who tried to film the outside and inside ring fights before giving up and just shooting the ring. This gave the impression, to those watching the recording, that the other two wrestlers were in fact hiding somewhere, waiting for their cue, when their legal partners started calling for them to come back.
Action Comic auction for over a million dollars several years ago that's the first edition number one with Superman
The backlash ppv should have been a winner take all elimination tag, but it'd kinda take away from Survivor Series.
These two obviously do not know that "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry is with Anna Jay.
My favorite matches were the IC title match and the US title match.
😂 I love this comment, I hope you have an amazing week!
Regarding All the Marvels, it’s hard to compare a story on paper to a story told on TV, but wrestling (depending on how you want to slice it up) could rival comics for longest continuous story. Also, soaps.
Dude, I’m black, and half of the shit at the end of this thing had me cackling. “Leroy Rochester”. Jesus Christ. 😂 Edit: Much like your favorite uncle, though, that Watts/JYD story he told - he’s told it before. Again, though, like your favorite uncle, I didn’t mind it!
I totally agree with the rollins cody match it was great..but I did think the 6men main event was good and I thought the flair rousey match was pretty good too..
Absolutely based Cornette with the Overstreet. Gonna keep my original Power Man & Iron Fist 70's detective comics. Also the first 10 of the McFarlane Spooderman run. I got a couple hundred of all kinds. Even some of the old Conan the Barbarians. I haven't looked at them in...maybe 20 years. I need to go through them.
Using based here is like speaking russian on Mars.
Martin Short as Jiminy Glick should play Jim...."right"
1:12:00 Cornette's complaining about the "tables" chant, and that's understandable. These are not the Dudley Boys. However, this is still an improvement. In 2015 or so, on the last days of TNA on Spike TV, Madison Rayne was attempting to crush the heads of Gail Kim and I think Taryn Terrell with the steel steps. In response to this heinous act the fans chanted "We want puppies". Yes, when I see attempts to spill blood and brain matter, boobies are the first thing to come to mind. In another seven years or so we might actually hear the people chanting for the baby faces.
Happy Sunday everyone
I really, really , really want Jim to book for AEW and show them how it is done
His woke lefty "friends" would crucify him within weeks again, like they did when he was doing commentary for NWA. Whatever happened to liver lips Dave Lagana, anyhow? 👄
Someone says WELL That's a deep subject for a shallow mind.
Roman's been tha king fans after every show just about, he even did it in Johnson city tn.. house show
Jim...if you need...you can send the RACONS to me.
Hey, they mentioned my interview with Jenni Santana! Thanks, guys! Feel fre to subscribe to my channel if you want to hear what Jim and Brian might end up being asked about next!
Please...oh hail MAMA CORNETT.
I wouldnt be surprised if adam cole isnt a result of one of shawn micheals conquest
My mom got rid of everything even a look magazine with Beatles on it
I just finished watching 1998 Royal Rumble. When Owen Hart came out, Jeff Jarrett and Jim Cornette beat him down. Jim Ross followed up with, "that Jim Cornette is a stain on the underwear of life" I fell out laughing
If he had any real acting chops at all, I'd say Drew Carey could play Jim pretty well,Carey slimmed down the same as Cornette and he has quick comedic timing with one liners and comebacks like Jim....
I agree with Jim. R-truth might be a nice guy, but as long as he's on the roster, the bad comedy will continue. He's more than happy to get paid to be a clown. Like Oc, Eugene, Scotty the worm guy, and whatever Seth Rollins has freakin turned into. These kind of guys, Billy Gunn kind of guys are bad for business and so are Sesame Street writers.
HERCULOIDS RULE!!!
Cornette was the first to slam Andre.
Magicspoon sucks. I purchased 4 boxes for the trial, tried 2 and threw all 4 out. Tastes like a spoon full of artificial sweetener. Only reason it has 0 to 1 grams of sugar is because the FDA doesn't require sweetener to be listed.
Jim's mom was Abe Lincoln
Bro I love wrestling and comics too🙂💯
Only metal slinky’s go down the steps the plastic ones are too light they flop around and fall over.
Colgate would be proud of those pearly whites
I hope he wasn’t dissing my favorite actor of all time John candy
Bryan Lastielson
Brian Last doesn't tip. No one give him good service
How about Bill Harder or Rainn Wilson to play Cornette on Young Rock? Even if they have to use makeup...
Cody Vs Seth was great. That's about it though.
Roman Reigns trying to make a name for himself in Hollywood....there is one thing that is forever going to make that unlikely,and that is few people can indentify with his real name Joseph Leatti Anoiai. At least Dwayne Johnson was already known outside of the wrestling scene,and he had the ability to get over as both heel and face whereas Reigns just comes across as someone that the fans cannot or simply don't want to accept as the #1 guy in the business.
what happened to/with daddy cornette? we never hear much of him..........?
I understand that papa Cornette passed away when Jim was a child. Like, when he was seven or eight.
Backlash absolutely sucked the 6-man tag match main Event that match was great but that could've easily be saved for an episode of smackdown and not on a PPV and all titles should've been on the line just like when the WWE Title was on the line in a 6-man tag match @ Backlash 2009 with Triple H Batista and Shane McMahon Vs legacy lol I have a good memory for something that happened 13 years ago.
The whole event was pretty good. Your bitching is getting old Benny
I cooked breakfast for my wife it eazy
In fact I usually cook dinner to every day
Jim cornette Is by far the best spokesperson for any product... This is the first time I spect the sponsors to listen what wacky thing Jim it's.going to say
Jim...wen the world goes to SHIT...you can come to my SANTUARY...i have prepared a lot of SPRITE ZERO AND FOOD TO SMILE IN THE END OF THE BEGINNING. #2030j@

Even Hollywood is not as glitzy as it used to be, so wrestlers and not doing themselves any favours with that aspiration in my opinion, being there won’t elevate their popular stature because of the current political climate in Hollywood.
Brian Zane
She got DM from him
I loved the Fiend at the start. Started disliking it after Alexa Bliss joined in... no thanks. At first it felt like someone with a personality disorder; not like Eugene, which was just weird, but well-made actually.
Rocky racoon lol
Rhonda racoon
Cannot Believe I am actually Clamouring for a ‘Fiend’ return but anything to make the WWE less boring
Who is the pudding gang?
The Best Friends
I know they had a falling out, but I would love to have seen Brian Zane play Jim. Of course if its mid to late 90s Cornette, he would need some help with the weight gain.
Lol the wrestling avgn.
How have you changed ? Ummm you put on a pound or fifty
Regeton...caca!
I like Jay Lethal well enough but Sanjay is..... dude its way too over the top fake evil for me. Tone it down.
Can jim run for president in 2024. I think it would be a blast at the meetings with his cabinet.
It's not real because leaders are selected and votes don't count
Still could you imagine
@@WantTheSmoke I don't want to. I spend my time learning real information. If wrestling fans learned how evil and satanic their stuff always was would be great. Look up a call for an uprising on KZhead and you can start with ewe exposed stuff from the deaths, satanic agendas,violence, agendas from mind control, feminism, perversion, INVERSION, connections to the occult, wrestling monopoly, the real new world order meaning,devil horns and symbolism, Linda McMahon working for (a fake president as they all are) Donald trump and trump has been in wwe since at least 2004 and made 3 or more appearance pre presidency. How these people are set up for life to push agendas like Vince McMahon. Mocking god. Dumbing down people with less creativity and just throwing themselves from heights to "entertain". Political divide. Medical falseness agenda telling people to inject themselves and claim wrestlers have to to work for wwe, only true if they all start getting sick and dying. Connections to secret societies like freemasonry. Demonic possession and mk ultra mind control. Military affiliation. Charity affiliation philanthropy masonic agenda. Aleister black based on pervert child abuser aleister Crowley who likely is Barbara bushes dad grandfather to George bush Jr. George bush Jr on wwe. Saudi Arabia and global connection. Make and female Inversion Becky Lynch called the man and is female. Child affiliation. Offspring of children becoming wrestlers.
