The tournament was an excuse for Tony not to write anything for 7 weeks. Okada winning was a joke. All for a handshake with McFingerbang. Tony shouldn't be allowed to write Christmas Cards nevermind wrestling shows.
A handshake with the guy he and the rest of The Elite attacked him when he announced he was gonna have surgery... Learn some sportsmanship Orton when you return to face Owens 😅
@@cchisolm92cc Ah, a newcomer! Welcome to the Cult of Cornette! Kenny Omega has a few nicknames around here: McFingerbang Harpo Marx, the One Winged Fairy, etc. Jim is a big fan 😂
That promo from "Cope" was totally unnecessary. I bet he thought it sounded cool to call Moxley a KID or talk abt his pubes but it jus sounded so fucking corny
@@Platform246He's always been an uncharismatic bore who couldn't cut a promo if his career depended on it. Like Blandy Boreton, guess that's why they paired them together for a while so thry could send the crowds to sleep with boring promos and equally boring matches.
Reigns is the Tribal Clown, head of the kiddie table at burger king. He can't talk, his matches are boring, he's just Jason Momoa on steroids.. Shoved down everyone's throat because he's related to Dwayne. And Rollins is just a dumb Jared Leto wannabe without the actual talent.
This "tournament" is obviously Tony's attempt to rip off the G1 Classic in NJPW. The main difference is they actually know what the 🤬 they're doing and Tony Khan clearly does not.
Bet you metnion every hour of the script you call life that you sell. That's why you cant enjoy anything and project on people who can. Worthless miserable farm animal
As opposed to miserable people fingerpointing at people who like something? Enjoy your misery though.just go away and sell more time. Well scripted farm animal
AEW needs to improve but I don't agree with flimsy takes like this. Every fan base has toxic members, whether it's WWE, AEW, Cornette, Meltzer, it's just the gimmick now to highlight the AEW fans
@@mintberrycrunch2530Olivier wrestled a blow up doll and a little girl... It's pretty obvious he doesn't give two craps about his image or his joke of a career.
FYI, WWE had a holiday house show in the same day, same location at Orlando and guess who won the pony, World Ends drew 7k while WWE house show draw 8K. Even a house show whopping AEW in the ass in terms of attendance
I mean the capacity at the aew (Aditton arena) was max 7k people whereas where the wwe show happened (Kia center) has max capacity over 13k. AEW show was a lot closer to selling out than the WWE show
We get it. A company worth billions of dollars that’s been around 50+ years is currently doing better than a company that’s been around less than a decade, that just passed 5 years. Regardless if the owner is a billionaire.
@@Tigersuplexlmao please stop using that as a cope and excuse. I thought aew was gonna end and close Up WWE? That’s what you aew fans swore by. Yet you’re coping and making excuses. AEW has had 5 years to quit making the same mistakes and be the #2 promotion and real alternative but it failed to do it.
AEW is a show that demands you to already know because they do, care because they told you to and refuses to ever explain anything. And that is a surefire recipe for exactly what we have. A show where most people give up because nothing makes sense and there is active hostility to trying to make it make sense. It is not worth the effort to try because not everyone has the time to study the past, like, 10 years of New Japan Pro Wrestling, Ring of Honor, Lucha Underground and Pro Wrestling Guerilla. I'd rather watch the big league show with the hot angles, stories that make sense and actual stars.
I used to watch NJPW and ROH a few years ago, it still doesn't make any sense. So yeah sticking to the big leagues is a good decision, and now I have more free time since Tony destroyed ROH and ruined NJPW
Imagine if Darth Vader returned or someone more niche than Vader returned in star wars and you told everyone around you who was nonplussed at who that was to shut up and Google it! That's AEWful fans.
@@darkwarrior1194 That's another thing actually. Like you mentioned, ROH and NJPW got absolutely decimated by Tony's quest to add every wrestler he cluld get his grabby little mitts on to his toy chest. The AEW diehards insisted Tony would be good for wrestling and that if you don't support AEW, you just love WWE's monopoly. But meanwhile, in reality, Tony has sapped the life out of any promotion he has worked with by taking their top names, while WWE has actually helped TNA, of all things, manage to have a renaissance of sorts. Not that TNA is back to their peak, but, hey, they are doing respectable numbers for a lower to mid level promotion, which is what they are right now, and putting on decent shows. Even if a couple of their talent choices lately have been... questionable.
@@JohnKobaRuddy That is the second biggest obstacle to AEW beside Tony's mark booking: the fans. AEW's fanbase is beyond toxic. They actively try to run people off if they show interest. Not being the same level of obsessive diehard is a capital offense to a seemingly large portion of the remaining people still following this program. It's like a very small handful of fans have gotten the exact, garbagey, indy nonsense promotion they have always wanted and theu don't want outsider ruining it by expecting an actual, professionally run business taking itself seriously. They are utterly insane, obsessive people.
I read an article from...I Believe Cageside? That reported that in order for Okada to win the tourney, all these Very specific things had to happen in the last four matches, and then All of those very specific things happened.
Thank you sir. I love the Corny videos, but the commercials are starting to take up more of the video than the actual reviews and I won't lie I don't find them as funny as I use to I'm now like Oh Corny just get on with it!
OMG the Uncle Moron Meltzer explanation of the blue & gold league tournament was a crock of shite. I couldn’t care or follow that crap it was an Abbott & Costello who’s on first bit on acid but not as funny.
Just say, "I don't watch the program." It's so simple. Okada had the square root of Kommander's lucky number written on the bonus card that he got for winning his second match before the intermediate bell rang a third time which means his point basis exceeds the number of chops Ricochet took through the final two rounds. I shouldn't have to tell you that that immediately propelled Okada into the semis. Osprey got in because the lowest common denominator of the super secret paid (not distributed) attendance of the last Rampage and the amount of frequent flier miles he racked up this year was Jericho's exact weight (in stone). The rest is simple mathematics, carry the four, subtract Darby Allin just 'cause, and ding dong, Bob's your uncle.
@@EV87_ Well, duh. If you had followed Tony Khan's E-Fed in the Wrestling Observer Junior Correspondents forum you'd know that he DID book this when he was in 7th grade. What a genius.
@@EV87_ yeah, this definitely the sort of thing a kid on the spectrum would cook playing with his wrestling figures and bore the shit out of his uncle explaining it.
I don’t want it to die. I want it to stay, but for itself and its fan to realize that aren’t what they pretend to be. But that level of logic doesn’t exist in their delusional cult.
I've not watched AEW since around the first time Punk beat someone up, which is a few years now surely. It's just dawned on me that Jim could be making everything up, they might have been off the air for two years.
If Ricochet has been a "star" during the period in wrestling when the most people have decided to tune out at any point in history, is he really a "star". He means nothing.
It's gonna be AEW Promotions End pretty soon if they keep this up. I haven't seen any of this show but everything I've seen from this company recently has crowds that are just DEAD. Like completely silent, I've never seen anything like it. Closest thing I can think of is how the crowd behaves at tennis matches. Which begs the question of why go in the first place? It's not like AEW being an embarrassment is a recent thing, they've been at it for nearly six years now, so people know what they're signing up for when they take their comped ticket. Are their paying fans just the amount of people in a given city that will watch ANYTHING with a ring? It's like their TV ratings, I'm not surprised the ratings are in the crapper, I'm surprised they can still find half a million people to watch Dynamite every week.
They should have done a tournament like TNA Feast or Fire or WWE Money in the Bank. You have a guarantee to earn a shot at any titles you desire or get fired like TNA been doing for years whenever a wrestlers contract ends.

I feel that I owe a massive thanks to Jim n Brian for allowing me to not have watched an AEW match in over a year. 100 percent honest here, as I just listen to them review AEW stuff, and feel like I have been able to avoid some really stupid television! Actually, I only watch the WWE matches that I really, truly want to see cause I know these guys will sum it all up and I can be up to speed without being bored to death by today's product. Keep in mind, as a kid I was blessed to go in person to see Harley Race, Bulldog Bob Brown, and some really great wrestling! Thank you for weeding through the bullshit for us guys!!!
I wish Jim,konnan and disco, Stevie Richards, and Eric bischoff would do a super podcast once a year to cover the end of the year. Or the week after WrestleMania
thank you jim and brian! since DAY ONE aew talent has done something i have never ever seen in any promotion,even in local tv indies back in the day: Whenever they botch,many times instead of moving on,improv on the fly,etc.,,, They will immediately get back in the exact same situation AND DO THE EXACT MOVE THEY MESSED UP IN FRONT OF GOD,THE AUDIENCE AND ANYONE WATCHING AT HOME!!!!
A list of moves AEW has killed: Tombstone, Canadian Destroyer, Senton Bomb, Powerbomb, Spanish Fly (although that move is fucking stupid), Forearms, any and all kicks, moonsault, and I argue the Sharpshooter because the Bucks do it.
Statlander had separated from Stokely in an interview either on Rampage or Collision. They really need to watch these shows so they know what's going on. At least fast forward through it just to get a sense of what's going on.
I’m surprised the Moné v Statlander match review was so brief bc they had some rather noteworthy moments that I thought for sure would’ve given Jim a headache. 😅😂
I love Corny, but I dont share the same praise that he has for MJF. He is ok, but he would be mid card at best in WWE and people who say why are you mentioning WWE? well because thats the big leagues!
Merry New Year Cult Members. This is my first review listen for 2025. The thumbnail is hilarious. Excalibur and Cousin Dave are having senior moments. Uncle Corny does it again, LEARN BABY LEARN. 😅😅😅
Continental Classic as a concept is ok it could be better booking though. The first one was cool cause it built up Eddie Kingston. This one didn't really help Okada cause he's already Continental Champion
*@OfficialJimCornette* 1:10:00 Fortunately for our sanity, Japan actually has laws that prevent foreign companies from buying Japanese companies. Therefore, Tony Kahn could never buy into New Japan under any circumstances regardless of money. Even a _Trillion Dollar_ company like Microsoft wasn't allowed to buy another company a few years back (WHEN THE COMPANY WANTED TO SELL TO THEM! lol) because the Japanese government wouldn't allow it.
I really hope that there is a future booker out there that listens to everything Cornette says and some day starts a legit wrestling company that abides by all of his philosophies when it comes to wrestling. I’m afraid we will never have another person working in wrestling with the mind for the business like he has. Tony Kahn shot himself in both feet when he passed by the opportunity to learn from Corny

Maybe they were confused and the arena used to be a jam packing facility. As in the place where they put the jars into boxes for shipping.
If Ricochet has been a "star" during the period in wrestling when the most people have decided to tune out at any point in history, is he really a "star". He means nothing.
Ricochet became a “star” because he can do a bunch of flips and is banging Samantha Irvin.
Thats the thing jam packed wasn't a reference to the crowd. All the bearings in the arena were packed with jam instead of grease.

If you go to a NJPW event in Japan you can buy that Skanks stinky draws in a vending machine right next to the girl in sailor girl outfit
You'd get a rash on your nose, though...
thank you jim and brian!
since DAY ONE aew talent has done something i have never ever seen in any promotion,even in local tv indies back in the day:
Whenever they botch,many times instead of moving on,improv on the fly,etc.,,,
They will immediately get back in the exact same situation AND DO THE EXACT MOVE THEY MESSED UP IN FRONT OF GOD,THE AUDIENCE AND ANYONE WATCHING AT HOME!!!!
A list of moves AEW has killed:
Tombstone, Canadian Destroyer, Senton Bomb, Powerbomb, Spanish Fly (although that move is fucking stupid), Forearms, any and all kicks, moonsault, and I argue the Sharpshooter because the Bucks do it.
Statlander had separated from Stokely in an interview either on Rampage or Collision. They really need to watch these shows so they know what's going on. At least fast forward through it just to get a sense of what's going on.
......and I feel fine.
Was the part her quitting on the live show was it part of the segment or did she go in for business for her self?
I’m surprised the Moné v Statlander match review was so brief bc they had some rather noteworthy moments that I thought for sure would’ve given Jim a headache. 😅😂
A convoluted point system, this sounds so terrible.
it's not the point system that convoluted it's the same point system as the Premier league...it's just Tony fucked it up 😂😂
It's possible to follow. But you'd be wasting your time. There were only 3 potential at most to begin with, so keeping count is a useless excrcise.
One day Tony will realise that maths isn’t a turn-on for most people…
Not 1 punch during this show lol
Gymnasts call it the “Twisties”
The announcers being confused about the countout rule for the main event was a new low for them.
Ricochet worked in WWE because he stood out with his style. It made him somewhat of an attraction. In AEW he’s just another guy.
Which "WORLDS" [plural] ended?
Good thing Jim was vaccinated
bring back Smokey Mountain Wrestling
Okada was the only thing I liked on the show. He either can’t work the fast paced video game style or he refuses to. They have to adapt to him.
That’s because he’s broken down too, like IDouchey, IshiiEEeeEEeeiiEEiiEe and Minoru “Toothpick Legs” Suzuki
Jimmy Rave was getting the toilet paper years before the time Jim is talking about.
I love Corny, but I dont share the same praise that he has for MJF. He is ok, but he would be mid card at best in WWE and people who say why are you mentioning WWE? well because thats the big leagues!
Yeah he’d be in Karion Kross position
Merry New Year Cult Members. This is my first review listen for 2025. The thumbnail is hilarious. Excalibur and Cousin Dave are having senior moments. Uncle Corny does it again, LEARN BABY LEARN. 😅😅😅
The booking, Tony and uncle dave all came together
NO, Heckle, just NO. Jimmy Boy in a leotard is not the way to begin 2025.
AEW is like the fan service Disney offers to the Star Wars fans. Things like the "somehow" explanation even for the false finished
Sock face 🤣🤣🤣
Who is Jim referring to as officer Barbrady?
Continental Classic as a concept is ok
it could be better booking though.
The first one was cool cause it built up Eddie Kingston. This one didn't really help Okada cause he's already Continental Champion
The gymnast thing where they lose the ability to judge their position is called the twisties, it anyone is curious
*@OfficialJimCornette* 1:10:00 Fortunately for our sanity, Japan actually has laws that prevent foreign companies from buying Japanese companies. Therefore, Tony Kahn could never buy into New Japan under any circumstances regardless of money. Even a _Trillion Dollar_ company like Microsoft wasn't allowed to buy another company a few years back (WHEN THE COMPANY WANTED TO SELL TO THEM! lol) because the Japanese government wouldn't allow it.
Question what if Tony decides to buy New Japan just himself individually no company buying New Japan just Tony buying New Japan?
Won’t happen. The Yakuza would be present, they’d do all of Cokie’s snow then laugh him out of the room.
Damn he complained about everything
Jim is something else lmao
Fun fact for those who don't know but Ocody is the greatest tournament wrestler ever!
Whenever I see TP in a wrestling ring, I think of Jimmy Rave. RIP
Is it just me or does aew shits on wwe by making the piledriver an ordinary move insteas of it being dangerous and banned as wwe makes it to be? 🤔🤔🤔
Kingston is still out hurt because he and his opponent didn't realise suplexing a 6 foot man in to a 4 foot space probably wouldnt go well. Clowns.
Excailber: Un-be-lievable
I really hope that there is a future booker out there that listens to everything Cornette says and some day starts a legit wrestling company that abides by all of his philosophies when it comes to wrestling. I’m afraid we will never have another person working in wrestling with the mind for the business like he has. Tony Kahn shot himself in both feet when he passed by the opportunity to learn from Corny
Is cornettes mind the best?
Jim is so excited for World's End.
I've been waiting for this! :) I love this show
