Always remember Chris Jericho saying in the WCW documentary, that had he known how much WWF bought WCW for he'd have bought it himself.... makes you think about how he is thinking at AEW right now
There were a LOT shenanigans happening for the sale of WCW. If I remember correctly, WWF had an exclusive deal, due to some contractual/copyright/some old lawsuits, to buy WCW without getting into any bidding war with any other buyer. Only if WWF chose not to buy, then it would've gone to auction/bidding for others. If that wasn't the case, heck even Eric Bischoff would've bought WCW himself!
@@lovelywaz No that was ECW. Because ECW owed the WWF money. Vince loaned ECW a whole bunch of money on the condition that of the company was ever sold they would be allowed to buy it before it was put out for sale publicly.
Even though it was a long time ago, I still remember almost every heel or face turn from when I was a kid. They always meant something. Macho turning on Hogan, HBK on Marty, and the weird (but cool) Flair face turn to team with Sting against Muta and Funk…
BarberShop : HBK throws Janetty through Brutus Beefcake's Barbershop Window ! Now, the name Janetty means a less-successful Tag-Team partner. See the "Dynamic Dudes" in WCW: Johnny Ace (John Lauranaitis/"People Power"), the late Animal's brother. While Shane Douglas transformed himself into "The Franchise," with Francine, the "Queen of Extreme/Head Cheerleader." (Think of Triple H & Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley. Some say that Hunter had stolen Shane's gimmick, to be "The Game/King of Kings." (As "Dean" Douglas in the WWF, Shane played a teacher. Douglas had to do a job and then surrender the IC title to Razor Ramon/Scott Hall. Why couldn't the WWE/WWF turn Shane into a Manager-type. He was a real-life one for a Target store. In WCW, Douglas had a feud against the "Nature Boy," Ric Flair. While in ECW, Shane wanted to get Ric Flair to do an Angle with him. It didn't materialize/come to fruition.) By today's standards, this Power Couple would be Cody and Brandi Rhodes, formerly of Tony Khan's AEW (All Elite Wrestling).)

One of the greatest turns and breakups of all time was between the Rockers, Shawn Michaels Marty Jannety. We are STILL talking about and rewatching it today. Great build up between a longtime tag-team that catapulted one of the greatest careers of all time. It was a huge deal because you didn't seeing betrayals all the damned time and it was so damned well executed.

Did I miss when Regal booked anywhere? Regal is a great trainer and someone with ideas. I don’t think him booking with no experience would do much good.
Being an AEW fan is increasingly becoming like being a TNA fan back in the naughties. (Naught is another word for zero in the UK,) and Onezies. FUSTRATING AF! They have a roster stacked full of tallent, the collective knowledge and experience, the financial backing and hungry young tallent to make it work, but they are failing to make new stars in favour of pushing the aging ex wwe guys, not having any kind of consistency and constantly changing direction.
From the very beginning, I compared their fans to TNA's fanbase from back then. They both have habits of defending every single bad story line and angle that came across their show. And the only reason why they chose to defend them in the first place was because the names Khan and Dixie don't rhyme with McMahon. I've also seen both fanbases defend their boss's treatments of Jeff Hardy as well, so that should tell you something.
Oh no,he doesn't just push the wwe guys,he does push the homegrown aew talent,,,he just pushes the ones that suck(garcia,yuta,jungle boy) instead of the ones that are worth something(darby,wardlow,starks)
The Dragon Lee thing was supposed to be a way to write him off the show. The idea was that Rush and Andrade would turn on him for losing and injure him, poorly explaining why you never see him again. His mask fell off accidentally. Dragon Lee was KO'd by Kenny Omega by the 2nd v-trigger and then Kenny dangerously hoisted him up for a One-winged Angel. You can tell not only by Dragon Lee's complete sandbagging, but by the fact that his arm dangles down as the One-winged Angel is executed. This could very easily have broken his arm, and every professional would know that. He was KO'd. Kenny did the same thing to EVIL in NJPW and nobody talks about that, either. The match ran long but they still needed to write Dragon Lee off so they took this poor guy and DDT'd him, further increasing the CTE, and accidentally ripping his mask off.
I didn’t see the incident with Dragon Lee but your description of it instantly reminded me of the EVIL match as well. I think since it was buried in the middle of that years G1 and it’s been a good 6 or so years it’s slipped a lot of peoples minds.

Tony's booking is worse than Russo's in WCW 2000 but AEW fanboys and the dirt sheets will never admit to it because they can't admit to being wrong and dirt sheets are on the payroll.
@@AmericanWrathchild mom being on a forklift doesn't even touch booking 14 + turns within a 9 week time span, booking Wardlow like shit and completely forgetting about him, doing a "swerve" and turning Luchasaurus from face to heel back to face then heel with no pay off within a months time span. You have to be mentally challenged if you think Russo booking dumb gimmick matches is worse than this.
I genuinely don’t understand how this is possible. The Big Show is on payroll, he would’ve advised-well as if anybody with decision making power would take it. Still, this guy paved the way for big men in wrestling being allergic to the word “no.” Yet, Tony took Show’s career as his guide on how to have storyline continuity.

Coming soon from Jim Cornette: You are a young man named Dave looking to court either Tony, Kenny, Matt, or Nick. Who will you choose? Watch out though, those jealous WWE bullies will try to ruin your courtship plans.
Just hearing this reminds me of when I used to watch late era World Class/early USWA on ESPN. One week guys like Gary Young, Billy Joe Travis, Jimmy Jack Funk would be babyfaces, next week they’re heels managed by Skandor Akbar…
Love the podcast and Jim and Brian! Also, not to be a grammar nazi but because 'turns' is plural and so a countable noun, you can't use 'amount' with it. It should be 'number'.
I don't know if the person who drew the cover art of the backstage fight (one of the Bucks had a chair wrapped around his face) is the same person who did this but both are very good. The drawings themselves are awesome but the fact they know to over exaggerate people's features and mannerisms this way is A+. Absolute home run
@@taylorsmith9629 Herb "Mr. Electricity" Abrams. Undisputed wackiest moneymark in the history of pro wrestling until Tony Khan came along to challenge for that title. Ran the UWF for almost six years in the 1990s. Infamous for snorting the equivalent in mass of the Namib desert sand dunes in cocaine during that time. Favourite customer of various prostitutes. Owed everybody and their dog money at the end and finally had a cocaine-induced paranoid psychosis. Was arrested by the NYPD when he was destroying his company office with a baseball bat while he was naked and covered in baby oil. He was trying to find hidden microphones because he believed his creditors were "spying" on him. Had threatened and chased prostitutes around the office before that. Had a heart attack in the back of the police car and died. Won the Wrestling Observer Newsletter's awards for "Worst TV Annonuncer" and "Most Obnoxious" wrestling personality in 1990 and 1991, respectively. Was only two years older than Tony Khan is now, when he died.
Best face turn and one I remember most had to be Mr Perfect turning on Bobby Heenan. I know he became a running joke in the later years but Virgils face turn on Ted Dibiase was pretty cool.
Sonny Kiss showed after 2 years and jobbed to Parker Boudreaux. That same night he (she?) does a run in to save Pockets from a beatdown by beatdown by Ariya Daivari, and then gave Pockets a low blow and sided with Daivari and Boudreaux. That was his (her?) turn.
Why does Brian think Dave needs some secret code and a keyring in the Observer to communicate with Tony? They've been on interviews together where they talk about how much they call and text each other all the time. It's not a secret. They did one of those interviews right before All Out.
Does anyone else remember the AEW guys saying when they started AEW that they were going to get rid of wrestling Clichés like baby face and heel. Well how are they constantly turning baby and heel while also not being baby or heel?
14:49-15:18 "(Tony's) smiling in your face". Fuck, that image of a smiling, dummy looking Tony Khan by Travis Heckel perfectly fits the lyrics to The Backstabbers by The O'Jays hilarously sung by good ol' Corny. LOL! 😜🤪😝😛
Right now as-of 9/14/2022...AEW is a Complete and Absolute TRAIN WRECK!!! A *Smart* Business person knows when something is not working and when to change their companies' direction. It appears Tony is stubborn and willing to watch his promotion Go Down in 🔥FLAMES🔥 before making any needed changes.😩
The AEW crowd prevent face and heel dynamics from being consistent. Some audiences are super marks and deliberately cheer for the heel because they think it's edgy - obviously that hurts the momentum of the babyface in the match. Heels in AEW deliberatley pander to the audience too, whether it's sing along with the themes (Judas), getting them to do the catchphrases, or just trying to hog the limelight from the babyface. MJF is one of very few with big enough balls to own being heel and wants the boos - the rest of the 'faux heels' seem to be too insecure and obviously want that positive validation from the crowd.
Hey!!!!I don't know if anyone touched on this but in the Sammy vs mox match on dynamite there was a guy in the front row with a World renowned " Super Dragon!"Jim cornett black t shirt with bright white Cornett face with his mouth all kinda slanted looking..right on the tail end of a "Super Dragon!!" call .Yes.that thumb nail we've all grown to love.
Unrelated: I’m now waiting to hear Jim review PWI500, particularly the top five. Reigns deserved #1. Can’t speak on New Japan due to having never watched it, so Okada’s fine. Glad Lashley got recognition. Punk deserved to be in the top 5, but #4 was a choice for views and engagement. That looks like the time on Raw where DX/The Kliq were in the ring…and Seth Rollins was also there.
Dax Harwood deserved number 1, and he should be AEW tag champ by now as well. Reigns is again relying on the Rock’s family connections to get ahead and still holding the belts, whilst completely shafting and delegitimising the rest of the roster. Clash at the Castle summed it up, like who knew the Usos had another brother?
Big Show is making himself useful teaching them how to effectively turn multiple times a year.
I think even Show is probably saying "we need to slow down on the turns, this is too much"
At least we see there is a level of hope. They LISTENED. 😂 Alil extra with it but listened.
The one time they decide to listen to a veteran!
🤣🤣🤣

It's inspiring to see that Jim, in his old age, is trying to pivot into the music career

Jim Cornette aka Eddie Levert singing Backstabbers. Jim's street cred on high alert this week!!!!😂😂😂😂
The guest artists were nice, but Travis is my favorite. I just love the style
The AEW crowd prevent face and heel dynamics from being consistent. Some audiences are super marks and deliberately cheer for the heel because they think it's edgy - obviously that hurts the momentum of the babyface in the match. Heels in AEW deliberatley pander to the audience too, whether it's sing along with the themes (Judas), getting them to do the catchphrases, or just trying to hog the limelight from the babyface. MJF is one of very few with big enough balls to own being heel and wants the boos - the rest of the 'faux heels' seem to be too insecure and obviously want that positive validation from the crowd.

I forgot Jim was apart of the OJays! Silly me
These guys are turning so much even The Big Show is getting confused!
Every Wednesday when I watch AEW I can’t help but notice how many titles people have that I rarely see defended on tv
Hey!!!!I don't know if anyone touched on this but in the Sammy vs mox match on dynamite there was a guy in the front row with a World renowned " Super Dragon!"Jim cornett black t shirt with bright white Cornett face with his mouth all kinda slanted looking..right on the tail end of a "Super Dragon!!" call .Yes.that thumb nail we've all grown to love.
Good to see Big Show has a role in booking
Unrelated: I’m now waiting to hear Jim review PWI500, particularly the top five. Reigns deserved #1. Can’t speak on New Japan due to having never watched it, so Okada’s fine. Glad Lashley got recognition. Punk deserved to be in the top 5, but #4 was a choice for views and engagement.
That looks like the time on Raw where DX/The Kliq were in the ring…and Seth Rollins was also there.
Talking about Hangnail? lol
Dax Harwood deserved number 1, and he should be AEW tag champ by now as well. Reigns is again relying on the Rock’s family connections to get ahead and still holding the belts, whilst completely shafting and delegitimising the rest of the roster. Clash at the Castle summed it up, like who knew the Usos had another brother?
