"Does anyone like Polka? No? No?"
"I do?"
"You are destroying my narrative."
You gotta control your narrative
Oh, my God, ball him into such an a******And it's a good thing he compared himself to us. Somali maybe you should compare themselves to someone with jail.
It was a joke because he in character, but you know
@@acstylez609 bruh you've gotta review your comments after using speech-to-text
Why is there a question mark after "I do"?
*PH asks a question*
*guy in front row answers*
“This jerkoff rudely interrupted me” 😂😭
heyman literally smiles afterwards because he's just fucking with the guy. he's legit just working the crowd.
Paul was joking, but the title insinuating he's a heckler is getting on my nerves.
Cos the dude is just answering the question lmao
Cornette actually praises Heyman pretty regularly
Now but during ECW not so much
@@thomasgregory1854imagine running an opposing territory in those days when ECW was in the mix. It’s almost like if you weren’t wcw/wwe, how could you separate yourself from the competition without going further with the hardcore stuff. Plus many wrestlers ended up crippled from what they were doing at that time and years later, which was corvettes biggest beef w ECW
@@Bobby-uk2wo Okay,,, all i bascally said was cornette was critical of heyman during ECW era
@@thomasgregory1854 that’s true, but from his POV rightfully so
@@Bobby-uk2woany real wrestling fan isnt just "WWF/E" or "WCW". A real wrestling fan will just watch wrestling from any promotion that they can watch. You don't have to pick sides, they won't get mad at you for liking another wrestling promotion.
"I will dive on top of you" is a death threat coming from Paul Heyman.
Paul Heyman wanting to be New Jack
I wonder if he's ever done it to someone. He is a madman after all lol
I'd be the smartass and say let's go big man, and see what happens.
I fucking love how even when he's not in character he's still Paul Heyman
What character?
"he's not playing a character, he is a character"
What’s funny is Jim and Paul are friends now but they jokingly bury each other on their last shit 🤣🤣
That’s the funny thing. Paul is obviously working here. Him and Jim have a lot of respect for each other. They both understand that to get clicks, eyeballs, ears on you, you have to say something interesting and/or controversial. They both have different opinions on what wrestling should be and I think they respect each other’s opinions.
@@oliverh4791Corny and Paul E absolutely respect each others opinions. They might not always agree with the other’s opinion, but they know they both came up through the business the same way have a foundation of where they’re coming from.
Number two and three best managers/talkers of all time, IMO, behind only Heenan.
I remember Jim telling ppl about Paul's plane tickets from WCW that he'd get a refund on. They've went back for decades lol. Both as managers of the Midnight Express and including their wrestling match
Definitely not "friends". I seriously doubt they're in contact with one another. But yeah the respect on Cornett's end is evident, with him consistently calling Heyman the best talker in modern wrestling. I haven't heard enough of Heyman speaking on Cornette to say, but I find it likely that he respects Cornette as well. But I don't think they're exactly buddies. If I'm wrong please point me in the direction of proof
Smoky Mountain Wrestling = Chef kiss
ECW = Chef kiss
AEW = jerkoff circus
Cornette has gone on record that he didn't like all the Extreme stuff with ECW that kept getting crazier and crazier, but gave ECW credit for the good wrestling they put on and the top talent that Heyman was able to create, evelate, or push to stardom.
Didnt cornette also like the bWo?
That has to be a hogh compliment to that faction
That’s the misconception with ECW. It wasn’t just all hardcore stuff. Look at the technical talent that came through there: Eddie, Benoit, Rey, Malenko, pre-injury Austin, Lance Storm, Jericho. And some of the guys that did get into the hardcore stuff like Funk and Shane Douglas could work a great technical match if the situation called for it.
@@zlinedavidsame thing with BJW
@@zlinedavid ECW had the unfortunate gambit of having a ungodly eye for scouting and signing talent but not a big enough pocket book to keep them.
Cornette's a dumbass anyways never liked the guy
Wouldn't Cornette's point be that the things he disliked about ECW all crept into all other wrestling promotions?
That's exactly his point.
Exactly. but ... Don't tell ecw fans that. They'll flatten you.
Yeah, it's an obviously disingenuous point by Heyman
Exactly, but Paul & accountability doesn’t go together. Neither does he and the truth.
Then don't watch those promotions. At that point it's personal preference and has nothing to do with "ruining" wrestling.
Polka didn't change the way all other genres of music acted. I think that's the difference here.
Not really. Maybe Polka didn't change all the music, but other genres did. Rock N Roll, Disco, Hip Hop, and now Reggaeton. There are still other active genres as well as other wrestling promotions. But yeah, the mainstream music changed because people consume it.
@@TheRobmaynez But those weren't the choices Heyman gave, because you couldn't avoid those unless you specifically curate your music to avoid them and avoid all mainstream music stations and/or channels. But Polka? You have to deliberately seek polka out to even hear any.
rap is worse
@@todd1928In general, sure. But back when Weird Al was at his biggest? There was no way to avoid it!
@@andrewsparkes6275 Even at his biggest his Polka songs weren't the ones getting the major air time. And they stood out as almost a separate entity because no one else before or since did it to a mainstream audience. It literally never caught on and that's kind of my point.
I doubt cornette watched ECW anyway tbh
Jim Cornette watches everything wrestling, he's obsessed with all things wrestling. Good and bad. Cornette's issue with ECW was that it was 'too' hardcore and that bled heavily into other promotions, which affected WWE and WCW primarily.
His dislike isn't that ECW wasn't contained - that ultra-violet shit is bad for the product, and bad for business. How can you do shows night after night when your talents is losing half a pint a blood every night for 2 weeks, then they're gonna need a very long vacation just to replenish the blood, nevermind nurse the damage caused by table spots, chair shots, and whatever else. How can you make money as a promotion if your talent is always injured and can't work?
ECW burnt bright and died out quick, not because of all the BS Paul Heyman will tell you about not being paid, or WWE/WCW buying all their talent - but because it wasn't sustainable for a business where your talent's health matters. It's why, even during the attitude and ruthless aggression eras, even WWF/E didn't do hardcore matches all the time - they were saved for select moments, but primarily PPV.
Tl;dr: Cornette respects Heyman's wrestling mind, but ECW was a flop from the get go and was seriously damaging to the ECW legends health and careers - and Cornette is a staunch advocate of 'taking care of the boys'.
@@revadarius2594 I think Jim has said multiple times that around this time period he was way to busy to watch any other wrestling as he was busy getting everything ready for Smokey Mountain around this time.
He most likely watched enough of it to know that it wasn't for him.
He watches it just so he can bitch and complain about it once in a while he praise something
He appeared in ECW
I love the way PH does a discrete little grin so that the audience member knows he’s messing. Honestly love this guy. He’s an asset to the industry
Buy the way, Jim is big admirer of Paul talent and mind for the wrestling, the thing with ECW is that all bad stuff with tables, chairs and non-selling to some things got into other promotions, and they evolved it to some ridiculous degree
Ecw did not start tht
He’s such a talent and brilliant mind. That’s why ECW tanked and he works for Vince….and Vince fired Cornette.
@@Cultofpersonality09129 Vince fired Cornette for slapping the shit out of a wrestler. Vince also fired Heyman several times, but the main reason he kept coming back is he wants the job and is happy just being on TV.
@@alantyndall85JC was one of the owners of OVW, so Vince couldn't "fire" him. Vince had Laryngitis call him and Jim agreed to go home. He eventually sold his part.
@@treahcrawford9931 yes they did
"anybody like polka"
"I do"
"Stfu stop interrupting me"
Heyman is hilarious without even trying 🤣
Someone should have asked him 'you gonna pay the ECW wrestlers you skimped on?'.
Yeah because he never heard that one 🤦♂️😂
I'll do it on camera if you ask Jim Cornette why he called black wrestlers monkeys and get an answer as to why he used his position in OVW to threaten talent's careers if they didn't sleep with his wife.
@@arkoisagoodboythat’s not true, nobody was forced to sleep w his wife or lose their job, not one shred of truth to that. And I’ve never heard of him being racist backstage, who said that??
@@arkoisagoodboyyou sure he was a racist while managing new Jack's crazy ass epic fail.
@@theburningbridge1411 actually no, he screwed a bunch of guys out of $$ promised, they moved on, but are still not made whole
Jim Cornette has never once said ECW ruined his experience as a wrestling fan. What he said was it contributed to killing the business. Which it did. And I loved ECW.
This is the fun part about Paul, he will make up stupid shit on the fly to make himself look better than the person he’s making fun of by comparison.
If Paul does not like you at the end of the day, he will make sure you will get absolutely nothing for the rest of your career if he has anything to do with it.
Jim cornette : Where do i fuckin start!
So many fans today need to hear this.
Pay what you owe Paul.
The street just came out of Paul 😂😂
Paul E went all Noo Yawk on him
Cornette didn't specifically hate watching ECW. He disliked how that extreme style of wrestling has crept into other wrestling promotions. It used to be a niche thing, but ECW popularized it to the point where big name promotions are doing that stuff now and it's not everybodies cup of tea.
To put it in Heyman's terms. Imagine if you disliked polka music but it didn't bother you because it stayed in it's corner of the music sphere, but then suddenly every musician in the world decides to make polka music and thats all they play on the radio
That 1 guy in the front row that has a crushing fetish: Dew it
The guy wasn't really a heckler. Paul asked a question and he answered.
its not that deep
@@ericsmusic5927 ya. It is.
@@ericsmusic5927 I mean he isn’t wrong
Polka is freaking awesome! I would have answered the same way.
@@Sd12sx23 polka is the real devil's music
They sound like FRENEMIES
Dude should have made Paul 5 star frog splash him into the 3rd row
how does one get splashed in the ring then end up flying out of the ring?
Makes no sense. Like saying "I hate the independent scene" and someone saying "Don't watch it then"........... It's quite literally changed wrestling completely and it gets into every promotion. The point is it ruins wrestling not the single promotion.
Thats how wrestling works though, it evolves. A lethal dose of grit was added in the attitude era. An effect ECW may have had. But eventually that passed. Now we're in an era of athletics from the independence and eventually something else will rise up. Just how it goes not much to do about it
Let me illustrate it for you: You want cereal. I have Cheerios. That's it. You're getting Cheerios. Jim wants Cheerios. He likes them. He loves them. But you want something else. Along comes Paul and Paul has Apple Jacks. You try some. You like them more than Cheerios, so you go to Paul from now on.
I want you back. I notice you and others seem to really like Apple Jacks. Jim is here chowing down on Cheerios but it's just him over here. How do I get you to come back?
I buy Paul's Apple Jacks. Now I have Apple Jacks and Cheerios. You come back and the others come over cuz they might like Cheerios and if they don't, I have their brand of cereal. Jim is mad. Jim doesn't like that I offer other people something he doesn't like. He only wants what he likes to be available.
Does Jim sound reasonable?
Then he should stop watching those other promotions too. Or better yet, do something about it. Start his own promotion, with his vision of wrestling, that can grow into something as influential as ECW and supplant its influence in wrestling. But instead of doing something about it, he chooses to bitch and moan. When a real man doesn't like something about the world around him, he changes it, or tries to at least. And if he can't, he finds something better to do. Cornette's an impotent little pussy so he does neither, he chooses to bitch and moan about shit he can't or won't control.
@@arkoisagoodboyapple Jack's isn't that bad 😂
@@arkoisagoodboyI was wondering where you were going with this, but you illustrate the point exactly. The problem is Cornett wants only his brand of wrestling, but if you watch promotions today they are a mix. Not every match is one person's preference. You can get a old school style match, hardcore match, Japanese style and Lucha style literally on one card. Some will enjoy some things more than others and some will not like some things. But promotions more often than not have a mix so if you hate hardcore ignore the one or two hardcore matches that might and come back for the technical match instead. People people like Cornett want their brand and that is all.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love how they always ribbing each other
As someone who respects BOTH men greatly, he has a point lol
i mean he's right. i haven't watched a full episode of WWE in over a decade and i'm happier because of it
I need Jim n Paul to do a 4 hour podcast ..
It would be interesting if Heyman actually answered to JCs gripe with ECW rather than this which isn't accurate at all. JC didn't watch ECW nor did it ruin wrestling for him. JC criticised the non stop escalating violence. And ECWs impact on wrestling as a whole.
Now that makes a far better discussion than a doesn't like b. Idiot question.
ECW is a stain on wrestling, and people need to accept it. JC is correct. Heyman took advantage of talentless wrestlers who would abuse themselves for glory... and he didn't protect them. Even during the 90's, WCW and WWE's hardcore matches were PPV or, rarely, special television segments. They were bad for looking after their talent then, but they look phenomenal compared to ECW.
ECW was unsustainable as a business, and the legends of ECW had their lives and careers ruined from destroying their bodies for bounced cheques.
Jim sounds like a mommy. "The violence, what about the children?!"
@@DrSpoculuswell mom was right, because now we have Jon Moxley on national TV.
@natebaxter9551 No, we have Moxley because of the praise of Mick Foley falling off a cage. And we have bs cartoon selling because of the praise of Shawn Michaels cartoon overselling.
Those two are the catalysts for why wrestling is the way it is in 2023. The current generation copied the two idiots everyone said were the best. How can they be the best if they spawned a generation of shit wrestlers who copy their style?
Nobody besides wrestling fans knew about ecw back then. But everyone knows about hell in a cell. The size of influence of Foley vs ECW isn't even comparable.
@@DrSpoculusyou and him are both right. Foley came from ECW and Vince made him do the spot so he could give a taste of what ECW has do WWF fans.
He wanted to create a monopoly and he did
For what ever reason he always acts tough when he does one of these things, Paul we know you aren’t tough 😂
Ummm, thats not why Jim Hated ECW and Paul Knows it.
I loved ECW, I still watch the old VHS tapes
Hey Lookit Pauley here DELIBERATELY misunderstanding Jim's actual point.🙄
I mean Paul E isn't known for his honesty or integrity is he?
@@sohell1992 Fair point. At least Jim's locker room was paid. Lol
@@sohell1992 Nor is Jim.
Yep.
This man is just a pure genius on rhe mic
As others have pointed out in the comments, I love Paul but this is a very bad take. ECW wasn’t just “another genre” to be ignored. The hardcore style for good and bad was emulated in all other promotions to this day.
It’s pretty hard to watch any wrestling show now and not have excessive blood or tables, ladders and chairs etc.
It was emulated because the market was there. Their audiences wanted what ECW was bringing. Instead of losing that audience to ECW, they gave them what they wanted.
@@arkoisagoodboy Yes and No, much like any trend of fad, hardcore wrestling was hot for a short time. I think now in the modern day there is definitely fatigue from a large section of wrestling fans for this kind of wrestling.
Man, a promo battle between Heyman and Cornette would be brain melting. Would pay good money to watch a 30 minute promo between the two💯
You've seen Cornette's promos a thousand times. Paul would deconstruct Jim and the moment Jim felt his spotlight was threatened, he'd go on a tangent that ends with him threatening to kill Paul. It's the same schtick with everyone. He'll call a black wrestler a monkey on camera and then rant for fifteen minutes about anyone who calls him on it.
You can tell by the delivery that they've had this conversation face to face many times 😂
Okay, but has polka ever had a significant lasting impact on popular music? Like, I think Cornette wouldn't be so harsh on it if he didn't continue to see it's influence on wrestling.
What do you think the old timers in the 80s thought about the midnight express coming off the top rope 4-5 times a match back when that wasn’t something that was done a lot. Things change and evolve. For better or worse it’s how the world works.
so he's not happy that it turned out people liked what he didn't like.
@@beatles123Yep, throwing people off scaffolds and seeing people seriously harm themselves for no money sounds like a great time. Jim didn't hate ECW, he hated what it produced and the moronic fans that go with it. Literally the embodiment of spending their welfare checks on a garbage indy show. Bunch of ghouls 😂
Has polka had a significant lasting impact? Besides Weird Al….not really.
@@KyleBBN On that point, it is crazy how much the rules of Pro Wrestling changed. I was recently watching a match from the late 80's or so, Jesse Ventura was on commentary, whoever was in the match (can't remember) one of them knocked the other guy over the ropes with a clothesline (something i saw in the attitude era 100,000 times) and Ventura said "that should be an immediate disqualification, he did that on purpose."
The fact that Heyman doesn't curse Jim out and jist says: To each their own, shows the respect he has for cornette deep down inside
How do you know he was a heckler? He may have actually liked it, it's very popular with the Finno-Slavic people.
That's just the very strong Finno-Slavic ECW fanbase showing up to the events
As time goes on, more and more paul has become my favorite. I look back on his role early 2000's much differently now. And what he has done since is amazing too. One of the few parts of wrestling ill go out of my way to watch. Think about the waves of changes this dude survived and thrived. AND did it without ever wrestling and having no physical presence... which is hard as shit haha
Here’s the problem with this logic: Paul E. has talked extensively about the impact ECW had on mainstream pro wrestling, how WWE “hijacked” what they were doing and called it “Attitude.” If Cornette is saying that ECW’s impact on the business was negative and harmed a business he had already given his life to at that point, then that’s a valid statement to make.
I agree with Paul. A wrestler (I forgot who it was) said that he had an interesting conversation about types of wrestlings with William Regal. He said that Regal told him that there are different types and styles of wrestling. Its not going to satisfy everyone, but if it has an audience and people love it. If you don't like it then move on.
Paul is really good at making false promises and getting backed up against the wall while continuing to do the wrong moves
Whereas Jim Cornette was such a successful booker that we still watch, talk about and enjoy Smokey Mountain Wrestling on a weekly basis right?
@@makeitthrough_ Jim cornette is someone you can listen to and know it’s real. He doesn’t have to give you a lecture or bs. He can be honest and that’s why he all still listen to him. He doesn’t give a fuck about your feelings
JIm did not like the fact the ECW style bled into all the other companies. He does not like the furniture breaking stuff
He’s kinda missing the point tbh…
Heenan, Hart, Cornette, Heyman. ALL TIME MANAGER MT. RUSHMORE
Paul Heyman 2024
Gotta love Paul Heyman
He didn't really interrupt, he asked an open question and the dude answered it! Still funny tho. 😊
Looks like there’s a quick cut at that point, I’m guessing dude kept going after Paul told him to shut up and that’s what really fired up Paul.

He also never pressured them to sleep with his wife or called black wrestlers monkeys. Your friend Corny can't say the same about himself
@@arkoisagoodboyWell yeah Corny can as that was all hearsay, whereas Heyman not paying all those wrestlers was confirmed by pretty much everybody.
@@Heywood3but Jim treats his wife like a hooker. I wouldn't expect many of you wrestling fans to get it though
@@Heywood3 you don't know what hearsay means do you?
"My company is polluting your lake by dumping thousands of barrels of sewage into it? Stop using that lake. Simple."
The walrus asked a question and someone answered
Polka, however, did not influence the next twenty years of music. You don't turn on the radio or listen to your favorite rap artist and occasionally hear some polka. Not every concert in the country now has a polka section just for polka fans. That is the big difference. Polka didn't start a wave so big that when it crashed, it would take years to see a decent wave again. And we're still seeing the effects of that crash happening. And polka isn't risky and jeopardizes the wellbeing of those who partake in it.
Paul Heyman argues like a spoiled 9 year old
@@SJH9723But the insinuation Jim just hated Heyman's promotion isn't factual.
And his promotion has had legacy for better or worse.
Yeah but he does make a good point. Look at me I don't like marshmallows. So guess what? I don't f****** eat marshmallows. Pretty simple fix to my problem.
@@honestdavebut then they start adding marshmallows to things you like. And you can't even buy the regular kind.
@@vrixmorr Yep the Pibb Xtra rule I call it.
I love this bc the way Jim and Paul are with each other
You mean how Cornette is a coward who gives fake smiles to the people he drags through the mud? One of the funniest things on UA-cam is ol Cornettes face when New Jack walked in on his interview. He looks like a deer in headlights 😂😂
It’s not that Jim hates ECW, he hates what they did to wrestling. Because now every match has to be a deathmatch or super explosion match or something, because ECW popularized it.
Truth.
Until Cornette knocked some sense into me, I was one of those no attention span fans who'd call chain wrestling and anything slower paced a bad or boring match.
"Where's all the cool moves"
"This hardcore match isn't hardcore enough"
Ugh.
I Want This Paul Heyman As Special Counsel lol Not Censored Heyman
Hey Paul if life was this simple you would've just paid your talent that gave you their all instead you violated them.
I think Cornette would say some of the ECW stuff "bled" over to other promotions.
I mean he’s got a point. Don’t like it? Turn it off.
No he missed jims point
He missed Jim's point - ECW ruined the health and careers of it's legends. Legends, though remembered fondly, weren't skilled wrestlers so resorted to the ultra violence to make a name for themselves. It wasn't sustainable career for the talent, and it wasn't a sustainable business model for the company.
Heyman did everyone in ECW dirty and it shouldn't be remembered fondly. It's not a case of 'change the channel' the history books need to clarify that ECW was bad booking, bed promoting, and a bad business. Heyman didn't care for his talent, and that's the #1 rule - especially in a business where people put their life and health on the line, with little security.
what if all your favorite bands started playing more of a polka style. Would you be cool with that? This is the point jim was making.
If ECW only affected ECW Heyman might have a point but it infected the rest of wrestling and caused careers to be cut short to attempt to keep topping themselves with more extreme nonsense
That’s how your product loses its audience. You tell people to turn the channel, and then they do, and then you feel stupid because you just lost however many viewers. I’ve never understood this attitude.
Cornette and Heyman are easily two of my favorite people ever involved in the wrestling industry and I love listening to them speak
AEW haters in general are people who think Wendy's shouldn't exist because they prefer McDonald's.
Lol So everybody should just love AEW eh?
@@patshowiedoit5340 you know that you can just not like something without having to go out of your way to hate it. You people constantly go eat at Wendy's, then complain about how bad it is and how it shouldn't exist.
@@MonsterKidCory Lol "You people?" look at all this conjecture from you. I never said I hate AEW. Either way, You shouldn't act like AEW marks don't stir the pot and aren't toxic. And I love Wendys, you might want to find another analogy.
No. Anybody that's in the competitive business is to be critiqued like WWE is. They call themselves the so called "Alternative" but that's a mild way of saying you're inferior to the other company. Which is fine, but why clearly be competitive with that company but then say "Oh no, we should all get along....." but then lie about being the biggest wrestling event of all time when it's been unsurprisingly exposed for being nonsense. You can't say "We're not in competition with them" and then take constant shots at the company you're saying you have no beef with.
@@patshowiedoit5340 you chose to feel called out by what I said, so own it.
“don’t listen to Polka” in that condescending ass voice was hilarious 😂😂😂
History tells now Heyman was the mad genius of the industry. Even still to this day; CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns - all the top guys go cite Heyman as the ultimate stamp of approval. I'm a Paul Heyman guy.
I can listen to him all day.
The fact he said he was going to do a a WWE style splash had me rolling
This needs to be shown to every gamer and Star Wars “fan” about how much effort and time of their own lives are being WASTED miserably watching content they despise…my god, there are thousands of other crap down at their intelligence level to enjoy!!
The problem is the furniture an constant high spots ecw did leaked over into regular wrestling effecting what he was tryna do
ECW was my favorite growing up
ECW did kill traditional wrestling but elevated it and brought it into the new millennia.
Paul Heyman's so damn the best... the very best!
Cornette and Heyman!! Two of the best 🙏
Lmao, Paul Heyman is THE best person in the wrestling business on a microphone. Hilarious AF, and is so good as muddying the waters of whats real or Kayfabe
Heyman, you're a gem, we don't deserve you bro
I think people forget Paul is from the Bronx and he definitely shows it 😭
This is applicable to many things now days.
I would pay top dollar to sit down and listen to Heyman and cornette Absolutely rip the living shit out of each other. Two of the best shit talkers of all time regardless of genre
I’m 23 & the first time I seen any video of the og ecw I was like omg… this is what me n my cousins did growing up
Paul Heyman is so awesome
This dosent matter anymore since Paul ran ecw into the ground like a air plane falling outta the sky
You're missing the point, Paul. ECW was so influential that the entire industry tried to replicate the style.
That’s what he said, you’re missing the point he said it ruined it for Jim cause Jim talks about how ECW ruined wrestling. which there is some truths to that statement, but not really and Jim still watches even though he doesn’t like it. but Jim likes wrestling so he’s gonna keep watching. Anyways
@DXVTHRIDXRSFC1765 that's not what he said. He said if you don't like ECW then stop watching ECW. But the problem is that every wrestling organization copied their style so that's all you see now in the entire industry.
I mean Paulie is 100% spot on. I was never bothered by what went on in ECW, WCW or NJPW. I only cared about the show I was watching.
Paul is always working! He knows ECW was a massive influence on pro wrestling. Go back and rewatch Monday Night Raw and notice how things start to change after the very first ECW invasion.
Damn, this short came up again and I had the same thought. ECW was far more influential than HALL OF FAMER PAUL HEYMAN lets on here.
Replace "ECW" with "AEW" and this still rings true 😂
Corny and Lawler were mega over with the ECW crowd when Paul E had them show up 🤘
If Cornette ran WWE there would be no Undertaker, Kane, or Man Kind. Just listen to his latest remarks on the Wyatt Family.
Hayman is 100% right...which is why I never watched more than 2 minutes of ECW 😂
Dude probably legit likes Polka and answered yeah just to he rudely addressed
Pookie always sending Keisha to the upper room!
Today Jim Cornette rages for living 😂😂😂😂
No, this is a straw man argument. It isn't that he simply didn't like watching it, it's that it significantly contributed to arse-banging the business, damaging its stability and model. Watching it or ignoring it would have made no difference to this.
If paul Heyman ever did a podcast, I would listen to nothing else.
Bless you, Paul
Jim Cornette appeared in ECW one time and the crowd was awesome for it.
Heyman is the conscience EVERYONE should have.
My first exposure to wrestling was at 6 years old with ECW game for ps1 😂
Jim Cornette probably went on a cuss-filled rant after seeing this clip.
