& i dont kno if cena is a liar or not I kno hes been 16 times world champion like the other 4 guys who hot potato the belt 12 times a year cuz no1 wants 2 job in front of 60,000 ppl thanks to ppl like shawn & I kno 2 b a good worker & a wwe champion u hav 2 kiss ass & do the same 4 moves like every1 else y do u think its called working a wwe style? lol
@infernityzero2011 thats cool i never said cena didnt do the same thing tho I said he didnt do the same gimmicks Cena has 1 or 2 phrases & DX had 30 I never said he was the best wrestler either in fact hes pretty bad but so is every1 up there & every1 uses the same moves wwe stands 4 wwe not wrestling anymore it never did this is taste I like wrestling not pyro I mean think about it wwe says we r perfect & they tell the fans that & then they belive the BS they feed them they play the game wrong
@ReinEngel2 wow #3 on air talent. That sounds pretty damn cool. For me though it would have to be #1 or #2 on air talent to constitute a real job. Now go record yourself playing a wrestling game and stop wasting my time.
cornette is a smart guy but you have to wounder why he cant even get a job in tna anymore but johnny ace has all this power dont think he is as bad as people think
Don't hate on Johnny Ace because of a character he plays on television. There is quite a difference between his HEEL character, and his real life personality. Just because he's on TV doesn't mean you are now all experts.
With all do respect if Cornette was so smart. Why is ROH not bigger? Not saying he is dumb but not he is not as smart as he thinks. He sure likes to talk about people lol. Not defending Johnny boy just saying.
@JimScythe Because he doesn´t have the financial options like WWE or even TNA have. Nearly everything in the States is about money, even your election campaign is almost just about money. Just sayin.
I once knew a guy who knew a guy who bounced around from Marvel Comics to WWE doing some kind of creative job. He had a lot of funny or nice stories about the wrestlers and such but said that Stephanie is an absolutely MISERABLE person and AWFUL to work with.
Alot of people seem to be commenting on how much WWE sucks now. To those who say it sucks & still watch it, I ask you why are you watching it in the first place? Honestly, if you don't like it, then don't watch it. It's that simple.
@Psycho5275 I'm cool with that explaination, but I look at it like this. There's a video on YouTube of Sting getting interviewed by Mike Tenay & when asked about what the effect the internet has had on wrestling, Sting basically says that people should talk about the good things that keep them tuneing in every week instead of constantly talking trash about it. (Here it is.) watch?v=kwXtYK8Gluc
@JasonL77 It is that simple & I don't watch it. After 01' the product lost all staying power & people were ashamed to say they even watched it. I love pro wrestling but Vince & co. lost me years ago. wwe sucks long live WWF r.i.p.!
@JasonL77 this is where ure hurting the buisness now i dont hate the WWE right now but its far from perfect but to tell people if you dont like it dont watch it if you go into that mind set the basically your telling all the hardcore pro wrestling fan base to just go away and then ure putting up with the garbage shit they fed us untill punk put sum light into it.
@JarrodDrover123 I understand what your saying & I do agree that it's not perfect. I wish it was like it was during the mid-80's era where not everyone had entrance music & pyro & you had to get heat by working the crowd, but I also still enjoy watching what's on today. I was talking to the people (And I know people like this) who watch Raw & Smackdown every week & only criticize it. There's something that keeps you tuning every week, so start talking about that.
@JasonL77 I personally dont because its terrible.It doesnt seem like theyre trying anymore.CM Punk was awesome last year and they ruined that.Stephanie,Johnny,Kevin Dunn all a bunch of clueless,selfish people who only lookout for themselves and not for the best of the business.
@JasonL77 I agree but!y do ppl bash TNA& still watch?wwe gets it WAY too easy TNA gets it bad u can LOVE 1 wrestler like me & hate the promoter wwe like me so there u go plus not 1 way is the right way some ppl just dont like something ppl who defend wwe tend 2 hav dick fear cuz they grow up watchin somethin turn into an adult then realize it sucks & cant take it back cuz of there ego not saying ur doing that i lov tna cuz there MEs at house shows go 30 mins & wwe puts santino in the chamber lol
@MySpaceSuckx wwe put santino in because randy orton was injured and they decided to have daniel bryan retain so having santino in was great because everyone knew bryan was going to win.
@infernityzero2011 so it was cool cuz every1 knew what was gonna happen? Again i dont disagree but still i hav Qs I like 2 not kno whats gonna happen thats y i dont go online much & y not put some1 else in thats idk better? lol & not the local town joke lol but hey if ppl find that worth there 70$ fine ill b watching Hot Fuzz again lol its like when they took out kofi to put in edge cuz u kno ppl wanna see edge wrestle for 55 mins lol hes as boring as DX. what about the other stuff i mentioned?
@MySpaceSuckx nobody knew daniel bryan was gonna retain till it came down to him and santino honestly i thought daniel bryan was gonna lose after having his head slammed in the chamber door by wade barrett there was still the question asked if daniel bryan was gonna lose for many reasons he was the smallest guy , big show was going right after him for weeks and big show even broke into his chamber and beat the hell out of him ....and Dx is not boring maybe you should watch old wrestling not cena
@infernityzero2011 well thats ur opnion, i bet im older & i bet iv watched longer than u i watch japan etc i like cena cuz he doesnt do the same stuf over & over like DX did suck it crotch chop down where down here? 2 words if ya aint down with that i mean if u like the same thing over & over thats fine. no need 2 get hot at me sir or disrespectful i stayed civil & polite w/ u no need 2 get upset anyway i understand what ur saying but u just said 2 hours ago every1 knew what was gonna happen lol
@MySpaceSuckx no i said everyone knew what was gonna happen when it came down to him and santino but nobody knew who was gonna win before it came down to those two.Also you say cena does not do the same thing every week when that is a lie he does the same shit every week in the ring and on the mic , he panders to little kids and says that he listens to all the wwe universe all the time but said in 2009 he ignores the people that boo him so right there proves he is a liar.
@MySpaceSuckx I wasn't trying to say that you have to like everything (Blame limited space for comments.), but what I don't understand how anyone could watch wrestling all the time & say they hate everything that's on. I know people that are like this. My point is that there's something that keeps people tuneing in every week, so instead of people talking about what they think sucks, why can't people talk about what they like?
@JasonL77 i understand that I just felt u were getting mad at me & i wasnt attacking u I was just making the point that some ppl watch raw but not SD! no hate. yea i kno what u mean byt he commentslol
@MySpaceSuckx also cena is uncoordinated and sucks inside the ring , many people who have worked with cena have commented on that and will agree he is a terrible in ring competitor who is over hyped to the point that the hardcore wrestling fans who spend there money every month to go to the pay per views actually chant for vince to fire him . I never once heard anyone chant fire dx or dx sucks when they face because dx wasnt running around doing some stupid you cant see me bullshit
@infernityzero2011 thats cool. i never said cena didnt do the same thing tho I said he didnt do the same gimmicks Cena has 1 or 2 phrases & DX had 30 I never said he was the best wrestler either in fact hes pretty bad but u kno what? so is every1 up there every1 wrestles a 4 min match every week. & every1 uses the same tackle, DDT, bodyslam, punch every1 uses 5 moves even Punk,Bryan etc wwe stands 4 wwe not wrestling anymore it never did this is taste I like wrestling not pyro
@JasonL77 Tbh, I did stop watching it (tho not because of Cena taking over, i just randomly stopped after WM21, when Cena was liked), but got back into it because of Punk's shoot mainly. I'm still horrified at times by what they put on, and I'm glad I missed some of the worst years in the 00's. However, the WWE is showing some signs of life. Finally Cena is not the main face anymore. It does suck but ppl like Punk and bryan could save it. I want them to book properly, and get Cena rapping again.
@PatHelmsleyisback With internet, DVDs, video games, God only knows how many TV channels on cable, there are other options to watching WWE on Monday & Friday nights.
@jacobslovie420 Hoping it will get better is one thing, but there's a reason why you tune in to Raw & Smackdown every week. Something you like about the shows. What I don't understand is why people don't talk about what they like about it and instead talk about what's wrong with it.
@HeavyMetalBeliever I agree 100%. Same with cole. Johnny ace and cole do not get booed because they are good heels, they get booed for the same reason cena gets booed...we are sick of watching no talent pieces of shit take air time away from people who actually deserve it. People who make good heels are the ones that are booed yet still make you want to watch the show to see them get theirs. Johnny ace and cole just make you want to change the channel like you said.
@metathus1488 The reason Johnny Ace got over in AJPW (I think) was because Animal was his brother, I mean really, oh and Mrs. Baba liked him. And John Cena can barely wrestle his way out of a paperbag, WWE have kinda kept him off their PPVs because he makes the majority of fans angry.
@Michaelanelson14 There was another wrestler going by "Tenacious Z" or something like that at the time. Ace made the mistake, hired him...and then had to let him go within a week when he found out.
@hell0philip Nah, Tenacious Z is Zach Gowen. This is the story:
"Laurinaitis made some calls to try to find the one-legged guy. A native Floridian, he spoke to some friends who directed him to Steve Chamberland, a big, burly one-legged wrestler who lost the limb in question in a motorcycle accident and wrestled with his prosthesis on. The urban legend is that Laurinaitis had signed Chamberland to a WWE contract instead of Zach Gowen."
@theraVen27 you dont get it...now days yes, hes a heel. He has ruined so many careers and fucked up the buissness for so long. Hes notorious. Since all you marks know about it now, they turned it into a work...to keep marks interested. I know Punk and he legit HATES Johnny Ace...
that's what the fans wanted. u asked for real life stories.
so they gave it to you.
the fans have kept ace around cause we all know he hasn't done anything worthy of his position.
the best way to hate him is to not care about him. that's when people go away. ur booing and talking about it on the net is just making him that much more of a ficture.
@theraVen27 Listen smartguy, Im a worker...go look it up on wiki. Dont try to explain shit to me. Your the fucking smark mark that buys tickets to raw. I get in for free... if I feel like going. We you say or dont say doesnt fucking matter to jonny ace. Hes been around for 10yrs and will stay as long as he wants..
Ugh, you know that Cornette is referring to Johnny Ace being in charge of talent, right? This isn't a kayfabe interview; Johnny Ace has been in charge of the WWE Talent pool for a LONG time, and has been doing a terrible job.
That's right, but I don't think Johnny Ace gets the right kind of heat. He cuts an awful promo; he doesn't play the evil boss role the way Vince did. Vince was a master heel, and drew the right kind of heat. Johnny Ace, at least I think, makes people want to change the channel.
jim cornette is the best mind in wrestling behind only and this is only a big question mark vince mcmahon makes me wonder where wwe and tna would be if he was in charge
how the fuck did he go from on the verge of being fired fornot getting ppl to resign like mickie james JOMO batista n countless other past wreslter n having problems backtage with talent now to being an on air character?!
Fuck Johnny Ace, annoying as fuck on tv, I usually like heels but this is just one mofo i cant stand. Sucks on the mic, botches a fuck load as well, Hate how WWE is trying to recreate austin and mcmahon with Punk and Ace, waste of punks time, HHH should have stayed coo on Tv and should have went heel.
You all realize that if WCW still existed when Rock's contract ran out what would have happened next.
How is Laurinaitus good looking? He looks to me like he had some botched plastic surgery and can't even move his face or show emotions. I always call him "Plastic Face Johnny Ace" when he shows up on tv.
jim speaks the truth wwe has gone to shit TNA is fucking better nobody gives a shit about AIR BOOM the fans want good fights with good story lines and good wrestlers not some shitty ass nobodys
@Edgehead10075 Obviously you don't watch the product, as TNA has been more entertaining than WWE and more consistent in storytelling for a good few months now.
No, I don't. I wouldn't waste my time watching that trainwreck.
Most people I come across online say that TNA is awful, and the ratings are pathetic. They also don't consistently push young talent, and they have guys turn heel all the time. Roode didn't need to turn heel, and he should have beaten Angle at BFG. I won't be surprised if Sting is champion in a couple of months.
@zipzaggingallifrey2 - I watch TNA and only dip my toes in WWE, (but was a fan of the WWF/E for 17 years - until around 2002 when they started gifting title belts, and turned their characters into living breathing cartoons, almost parodies) and to be honest TNA and WWE, they're about as shit as each other - and that's mainly because the Creative/Booking talent is shit. Some of the wrestling is sometimes good, but the rest of it is shit.
@VideoNoob122 I agree. if i was starting a company I'd have JR do talent relations/signing. Jim Cornette run the promotion. Paul Heyman be head of creative.
@1981mmichael actually if it is true that JR disappeared from the wwe he should work for R.O.H. as an announcer he can find good talent and help R.O.H. grow while Stephiny McMahon if I spelled it right can destroy the WWE with the help of Johnny Laurinaitis cause of her self spoiled way of what she wants and not for the WWE that would be great.
I watch quite a lot of 90s AJPW and ace was in no way a bad wrestler, in my opinion he was a great worker and he definitely got himself over, what more could you possibly want?
@jamesbloodytears you know johnny ace isn't a writer, right? not to mention vince is the guy who gave Henry the push....and rightfully so if you actually have watched in the past year
@JPoz1123 i know he isnt but his role on the show is more then a gimmick he controls talent and works with the writers. and yea vince pushed him but it doesnt mean he has talent i've watched the guy its taken him 15 yrs to get to where he is now thats sad he should have been in dev. for longer if they wanted to push him.
@jamesbloodytears In Johnny's Mind "If you Push a Talented Wrestler in to a Properly Pushed Main Eventer, He'll go to a Rival Company & MIGHT Start a NEW Golden Age.
@SickNickManson66 Attitude Era had competition too. When you have no equally competitive companies vying for talent and viewers, you get complacent and stop trying.
Anyone who says bodybuilders are bad will be fired and blackballed from the Sports Entertainment (™ Vincent Kennedy McMahon) business. Name one bad thing about bodybuilders. Certainly not their sense of self worth and entitlement. They *know* that they are the best possible performer for the company. You can't knock their abilities, either. The injury rate for these gentlemen is drastically higher than that of highly trained athletic wrestlers, but those midgets can't draw a dime! It evens out.
CM Punk better not watch this video & laugh @ John Laurinaitis. Ace was a "Flag bearer" but Punk was an "EXTRA" in a John Cena Gangster scene entrance. Dont throw stones...we all gotta start somewhere.
@TonyChase but cm punk became better than that and left it behind through "TALENT" Johnny Ace, despite his position got there through apparent dumb luck and nepotism.
@LMLR187 How did Punk become better? By becoming a WORTHLESS Heavyweight Champion? Those belts in WWE mean absolutely nothing( i.e Jack Swagger World Champion, The Miz...ect.). there is no dumb luck when u wrestle in Japan. You need alot of skill & heart to wrestle there. Evreyone talks about the thing with Mrs. Baba but if u watch the matches with Ace vs. Misawa & the ones with him and Mike Barton vs.Kobashi & Akiyama you will say he had talent. JMO. :-)
To me the only decent thing Johnny Ace ever did was invent the Ace Crusher (Diamond Cutter) , a move that was done much better by DDP anyway. The only reason he's even in the business is because he is Road Warrior Animal's kid brother. He was always in his brother's shadow, and always will be. He's the biggest ass kisser in pro wrestling history.
@Edgehead10075 yeah, but it was GOOD PG, WHAT WE HAVE TODAY IS PG IN NAME ONLY,I'T'S GLORIFIED G RATED CRAP. Back then the promos still weren't as scripted and phony as they are today, and the wrestlers didn't phone them in a quarter as much as they do today.
@ThePGeraFuckingSucks - Do yourself a favor. And STFU. Not every thought that appears in your head needs to be heard by everyone. The McMahons are doing what they have to do keep the business going. Tons of people became wrestling fans in the 80s because of the PG show they had on saturday. They are just trying to recreate that. Is the product the best it can be right now? Nope. But crying about it only proves you're a child. Dont like it? Dont watch.
@ThePGeraFuckingSucks Raw MIGHT as well Show it on Saturday Mornings, because "PG Era" is more like "Y-7 Era", & a TV-PG Anime is Hardcore than Anything 4kids Dish-Out.
I love it, "soon, we (the industry) will have no stars!" Ah....Mr. Cornette, you nailed another one! The top stars in the WWE, Cena and C.M. Punk....omg, have we sunk this far? Ten years ago, C.M. Punk would not have been allowed to job for New York. He literally would h have been told, "son, don't bother dressing, you are too skinny." Ten years later, he is the top heel. Wha???
@sheshavingababy I don't get it. What's wrong with Punk. a lot of WWE Superstars started from the bottom and work there way to the top. What makes Punk different. He work hard enough to get where he is at.
the fact stephanie runs anything should tell you thats there is something wrong. johny boy sucks as talent relations as well as a "star" on tv. im am using "star" very loosely. wwe has lost all its real talent and needs to begin reworking its roster. the few good stars they do have now (sheamus, morrison, cm punk) barley get over because idiots like cena, rock, or orton for that matter are pushed as heavily as possible.
@johnboy14 the rock obv knew when his contract expired. hes saying they let it expire and didnt even call to say thank you for all that hes done. its not like the rock planned on staying. jims just saying it could of been handeled more respectful
@johnboy14 he knew it was running out derp, he meant to say he cant believe that they didn't bother to thank for all his work once his contract ran out
@Carlitonsp1 He is using it correctly. When you work overseas, you are cast as the "foreigner" in Japanese promotions (monsters like Stan Hansen, Terry Gordy, etc.). It works in reverse, too. When Japanese wrestlers work in the US, they are often played up for -being- foreigners.
I'll believe what Jim says about John all day long...

@jacobslovie420 Hoping it will get better is one thing, but there's a reason why you tune in to Raw & Smackdown every week. Something you like about the shows. What I don't understand is why people don't talk about what they like about it and instead talk about what's wrong with it.

@HeavyMetalBeliever I agree 100%. Same with cole. Johnny ace and cole do not get booed because they are good heels, they get booed for the same reason cena gets booed...we are sick of watching no talent pieces of shit take air time away from people who actually deserve it. People who make good heels are the ones that are booed yet still make you want to watch the show to see them get theirs. Johnny ace and cole just make you want to change the channel like you said.
metathus1488 1 month ago
@metathus1488 The reason Johnny Ace got over in AJPW (I think) was because Animal was his brother, I mean really, oh and Mrs. Baba liked him. And John Cena can barely wrestle his way out of a paperbag, WWE have kinda kept him off their PPVs because he makes the majority of fans angry.

Now what was he talking about with hiring the wrong "one legged guy"? I never really got what was wrong with Zach Gowen
Michaelanelson14 1 month ago in playlist Favorite videos
@Michaelanelson14 There was another wrestler going by "Tenacious Z" or something like that at the time. Ace made the mistake, hired him...and then had to let him go within a week when he found out.
hell0philip 1 month ago
@hell0philip Nah, Tenacious Z is Zach Gowen. This is the story:
"Laurinaitis made some calls to try to find the one-legged guy. A native Floridian, he spoke to some friends who directed him to Steve Chamberland, a big, burly one-legged wrestler who lost the limb in question in a motorcycle accident and wrestled with his prosthesis on. The urban legend is that Laurinaitis had signed Chamberland to a WWE contract instead of Zach Gowen."

That's right, but I don't think Johnny Ace gets the right kind of heat. He cuts an awful promo; he doesn't play the evil boss role the way Vince did. Vince was a master heel, and drew the right kind of heat. Johnny Ace, at least I think, makes people want to change the channel.

No, I don't. I wouldn't waste my time watching that trainwreck.
Most people I come across online say that TNA is awful, and the ratings are pathetic. They also don't consistently push young talent, and they have guys turn heel all the time. Roode didn't need to turn heel, and he should have beaten Angle at BFG. I won't be surprised if Sting is champion in a couple of months.

@zipzaggingallifrey2 - I watch TNA and only dip my toes in WWE, (but was a fan of the WWF/E for 17 years - until around 2002 when they started gifting title belts, and turned their characters into living breathing cartoons, almost parodies) and to be honest TNA and WWE, they're about as shit as each other - and that's mainly because the Creative/Booking talent is shit. Some of the wrestling is sometimes good, but the rest of it is shit.

Anyone who says bodybuilders are bad will be fired and blackballed from the Sports Entertainment (™ Vincent Kennedy McMahon) business. Name one bad thing about bodybuilders. Certainly not their sense of self worth and entitlement. They *know* that they are the best possible performer for the company. You can't knock their abilities, either. The injury rate for these gentlemen is drastically higher than that of highly trained athletic wrestlers, but those midgets can't draw a dime! It evens out.

To me the only decent thing Johnny Ace ever did was invent the Ace Crusher (Diamond Cutter) , a move that was done much better by DDP anyway. The only reason he's even in the business is because he is Road Warrior Animal's kid brother. He was always in his brother's shadow, and always will be. He's the biggest ass kisser in pro wrestling history.
