  • Yea, Cornette is damn good at promos. I always thought he was a nerd when i was a kid but he obviously played the antagonist role perfectly.

  • I like Dennis' Seahawks jersey :)

  • I hated Cornette when I was a kid. Now I realized how awesome he is. One of the best managers ever in wrestling! Old Skool Wrestling Rules!

  • @ansymo67 Understood. In the 80's he was paid to make fans hate him.

  • Are The Midnight Express inducted into the wwe hall of fame yet?

    nah, fuck that The Midnight Express are their own Hall of Fame

  • Nothing much has changed. Jim doing all the talking while Eaton and Condrey stand in the background not uttering a word.

  • i smell money too, i just got goose bumps!

  • the man cut a better promo in less than two minutes than most current wrestlers cut in twenty minutes

  • @Darkstar27100 Promos today are pretty much written word for word.  Cornette can riff all day long.

  • only thing missing was the tennis racket!!!

  • Now that's how you cut a promo. Listen and learn John Cena and all the other idiots!!!

  • Nobody could ever run there mouth like Jim Cornette. It always sounded like he never even took a breath between words.

  • Cornette is gold on the mic

  • God, Cornette was always money on the stick. I miss the days of great heel managers.

  • Pause at 1:12 to see Corny get his nipple twisted.

  • Now THIS is a promo that makes you want to see a match! Man, how I miss the 80s, when guys like Coronette and Nature Boy could make you want to sell plasma three times in one week and then hitchhike to see one of their main event matches. Wrestling today is so boring compared to this.

  • Even today, he can make you love him or hate him. He knew his craft and upped the bar for anyone who thinks they can make it as a manager.

  • James E Cornette- enough said. Often imitated, never duplicated!!

  • a one minute promo that tops any 15 minute segment from TNA or WWE. That is why Jim Cornette is king of the Wrestling Promos

  • Damm!Jimmy Cornette can cut  a promo!One of the best of all time.

  • damn i miss the 80s so much... the wcw and the one and only NWA 1986 1988 era. what atime that was

  • jimmy always reminded me of kim jing il. i dont quite know why

  • Did anyone post this matchup? I'd love to see it. This is one of those dream matchups people always talk about. Too bad it didnt happen when the teams were in their prime(s).

  • Jim Cornette looks still around.LOL Jim : "You've seen a lot of blood. You've seen a lot of guts. You've seen a lot of fights. You've seen a lot of people get hurt. But you have never seen anything like Bobby, Dennis Condrey, Stan Lane and Jim Cornette, the one and only original Midnight Express, together in Tampa to destroy, to crumble, to manipulate, and to massacre the Rock and Roll Express and the Fantastics!!! OMG i smell money!!!" and I love "Beautiful" Bobby soothing him at 1:11.LOL

  • Jim Cornette- often imitated, never duplicated!!! Anyone wanting to learn how to be a Manager, this guy is a great man to study. Wrestling needs a guy like him now.

  • Goddamn Cornette can cut a mean promo

  • Jim Cornett is a wanna be

  • Now THAT' a man who KNOWS how to cut a promo!!!!

    Too bad AJ Styles and Samoa Slow-Joe (the 2 most boring guys in TNA besides E. Young) didnt take lessons from him while he was in TNA!

  • its so funny they are the wrestlers however hes in better shape now then they are lol

  • I could listen to Cornette's promos all day long.

  • Minority of one. Cornette can make you hate him or laugh. And if you think that Jimmy Hart was corny,check out his Memphis stuff.

  • "Oooh my god! i smell money!!!" LOL

  • I recognize that radio station on Jim's T-shirt.

    107.7 SFR is a classic rock station based out of Louisville Kentucky. Louisville is sort of my hometown.

  • Cornette was a great heel manager, good mic skills, and the guy you loved to hate.

  • uh...at the "double tree" hotel....im going to vomit

  • Jimmy is one of the most underused guys in wrestling.

  • Some people were born to work the mic. Guys like Jim Cornette and Bobby Heenan were 2 of the best ever.

  • any vid i see jim cornette gets not older. he look the same in any video.

  • It's so true, he now looks younger than Bobby Eaton or Dennis Conrey...Bobby Eaton was having fun with that one at the end.

  • Cornette's promos are still great, but they seem much angrier. Cornette used to be the funniest guy in the business. Where did that humor go?

  • We're all old!!! Get me back to the VHS tapes!!!!!

  • "OH MY GOD I SMELL MONEY!", I can tell Dennis, Bobby and Jim had fun doing that promo by the way they were laughing at the end. It brought back old time memories among them.

  • Yeah I really did like that phrase......well, time to steal it! lol

  • Actually, the part about the Rock N Roll Express and the Fantastics teaming up for the first time is not exactly true. They have teamed up before in 88 or 89 when they went up against Ivan Koloff, Russian Assassin, and the Varsity Club.

  • Oh my god! I smell money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is why wrestling sucks today. They don't have a wrestler today who can cut a promo like that. They may look the part but they don't have the charisma or swagger to promote there own match. Sounds like they looked in the mirror and practiced all night rehersing. Its horrible!

  • Totally agreed!

  • Amen brother Amen. That is why i dont watch wrestling anymore, it sucks compared to back in the day with the NWA, lol made a rhyme lol

  • @bamccull There also not aloud too

  • Great promo.

  • Yeah great promo.......in the shower room!

  • oh man Jim Cornette can still get you going with his intensity. Back in the day I was lucky enough to live in Mid South territory and Rock & Roll Express and Midnight Express fueds were legend. I'd go to see the matches in Okla. City and I'd have me 5 dozen bandanas on like my tag team.

  • Wow Bobby and Dennis look soooooo motivated there. Jim Cornette is still the man though.

  • Jim Cornette is my hero...him, Bobby Heenan, Jimmy Hart and Gary Hart were the 4 best managers ever...RIP Gary

  • Lou Albano too. You were too Southern to dig his work. When he was heel no one could touch him. RIP.

  • He looks older now indeed, but still sounds the same! The only thing missing is him carrying around that tennis racket and hiding behind Big Bubba!

  • I want Jimmy Cornette to give my euligy!!!!!

  • All you wannabe managers in indy wrestling, pay attention. You wanna be the man? Watch and learn how to cut a promo the right way! Cornette will always be the measuring stick! If you're Cornette good then you're good, man!!!

  • i agree he's still good on the stick!!!

  • 3 greats all together. Bobby still looks great.
