 What's good y'all it's your boy Ross back again with another video So I'm gonna check out Jim Cornett on CM Punk and Cody Rhodes in WWE instead of a W's been a minute since we checked out The Jim Cornett Podcast I've still been you know watching his videos off camera but I know a few you guys have been sending me videos that you guys have wanted me to check out and He just recently they just recently dropped this Not so long ago on the channel, and I definitely want to see his opinions and takes on it But it's it's really clear to see W. W. I'm not W. W. A. W. Drop the ball massively with letting go of Cody and Letting go of CM Punk. This was one of those things where they have literally left millions of dollars on the table With just these two guys alone and they really have no one else to blame but Tony Khan I'm being dead serious Tony Khan is really the blame here for leaving all this money on the table for not handling the talent and and Handling what we see on television better because I mean He's kind of let people just run them up and we've seen how meant how that's caused issues and problems So we're gonna see what Jim Cornett has to say about this should be an interesting one Appreciate all love support you guys on our channel. Let's get right into this one It How what the fuck are they thinking over there in cuckoo munga land? It's not cuckoo munga land the two Well, I can't say the two two of the biggest stars in wrestling our AEW talents that Honestly with it with in Cody's case. No disrespect to him didn't move the needle at all. Yeah And punk who is the only one really who has moved their needle But the needle is a lot bigger. It's like one of those things they give the fucking epidural spinal thing with or whatever that he's moving now and They had them. Yeah, and they couldn't make it work. Nope I don't think it's fair to say Cody never moved the needle I think Cody was an important part of the overall package and early on didn't move the needle Well, but that's the thing is that honestly Cody as we've seen in retrospect. They were more like there were more people Well, there were more people but also he was more important in keeping it some semblance of a professional wrestling promotion a professional in Capital letters wrestling promotion and that's a fair point to say because at one point the fans started turning on Cody I remember that towards his end. They started turning on him. They started turning on him He's a very integral part of the success the early success of AEW But at the end of the day, he wasn't I guess you could say the needle mover in a sense like people love to see Cody and and you know What he was bringing to the table in the ring and promos and stuff like that That's some great matches great segments But he wasn't necessarily the top guy even though he was one of the integral parts of AEW being what it was at the time So it's one of those things where when he went to WWE he he's instantly the top guy All right, once he got there he became the top guy and he's been the top guy He is the person that people pay to see money to see his entrance to see him in the ring. He's had to be honest with you Pretty great matches and feuds at in WWE since he's been there So in a sense in that case Cody has been somewhat the needle mover more in WWE This set his second goal around then he ever was an AEW and you can clearly see that He's still like the top baby face in the company. He's been there for about two years now And his loss was probably felt more Behind the scenes locker room flavor the whole fucking thing Tony goddamn Going off on tangents, whatever that maybe then in the ratings, but but still both of them. They're the fluctuations in viewership on the programs that punk and Cody are on now are bigger than some of the total ratings of Tony cons broadcast these days You know, we always said it jokingly the biggest match in AEW history is gonna be Cody versus CM punk I think originally we said it's SummerSlam and then Survivor Series and who knows when Still is It's the biggest thing that could happen AEW and I don't want to spoil too much before we get there Because I know there's a big review coming but it was telling the lack of reaction Punk got talking about punching people in the face in the back Mm-hmm. That says that that audience had no idea what the fuck he was talking about. Yep. If you guys remember Punk's promo on Friday night smackdown this past weekend Us the people that know the situation that knows what happened with CM punk and The young bugs and all the you know the auto leak crew or whatnot and that the brawl they had We understood the reference, but the casual fan that was there most of them didn't understand the reference In fact, even in our inner clutch Livestream we did for that show. There were some people that didn't understand the reference which lets you know the vast difference of people that are watching the shows Like WWE and didn't know that crossover. It's not as great as you would think it would be like Oh, I watched WWE in AEW and granted. It can also be in a town. They were in maybe you put them in a more Smart wrestling town like Philly or Chicago or Brooklyn or wherever, you know, you put them there They would probably get the reference because that crowd Probably watches a lot more wrestling than just WWE but that specific crowd They didn't know most of them didn't know what the hell they was talking about so it lets you know And I'm pretty sure that's like that in most cities and towns other than the big wrestling cities They don't know what's going on on AEW for some of them They may actually think that this is CM punk's first time coming back to wrestling in a long time Not even realizing he was in AEW in a whole nother company So I don't know it's it's very interesting, but I definitely didn't notice that when I happened up people didn't catch that reference They have no idea who the Young Bucks are. Nope. They don't have any idea what he did in AEW They know he's a former WWE champion to work with Paul Hammond who's coming back. Yep, and at the same time that line Illustrated a point that I have made about everybody that tries to do the shoot promos the insider promos I have the You know the it used to be newsletter promo now. It's the website promo audience There's got to be a Double meaning you can't just go out there and talk smart. You have to either Say something that it wasn't designed to get a reaction for that audience It was designed to get a reaction for a certain audience. Yeah, but it made sense In the course of what he was saying to begin with if you had no Idea what he was talking about. He's just being a smart ass. Yeah A lot of those guys get punched in the back there on the screen. What about blah? Yeah, that's what I'm telling you can make allusions to Backstage things or things that happen in the world of the Websites and the newsletter readers and etc But only if it doesn't confuse the people who don't know that world And it makes sense in the context to what you're saying anyway the old It's not a double entendre. I'm not saying one part has to have a lewd meaning but it has to be Something that That makes sense for both audiences. Have I've articulated that in any way clearly? I Think you haven't again That was the big test if punk references something from AEW will get booze will get cheers You got nothing nothing everything else got a big reaction to that promo So and I think once again, I think it's just because the town they were in may not be Super-wrestler heavy and watch anything other than WWE. I think you take that to another city I think you get a little bit more ooze and Oz But the casual audience they go what though they not even gonna catch it It was just like a little quirky line like can't be punching people in the back You know backstage. You can't be doing that in 2023. Just a little quirky line. It's just us that know the reference We got the reference and he didn't have to do too much. He didn't have to wink at you He just let it be said he chuckled and moved on it made sense in the context of the promo but that's really telling and And and now Ben bear in mind He wasn't going for a big pop on that line The way that he kind of tossed it off. Yeah, I'm not saying That was the opportunity to gauge what the audience reaction was more than Something punk was trying to set up for an audience reaction Yes, and I'm not saying you were but some people are gonna say that or he didn't get any reaction with that That means it then he they don't agree with him No, it means it wasn't designed to get a reaction because that audience and especially that live audience there the WWE faithful They didn't really know. Yeah, there was the I'm sure the contingent in there. They went, oh But it's the same time. That's why he threw it off, but it meant it meant something in the continuity the promo It didn't just come out of nowhere, but it was designed in a more professional way to get back at the kids from cuckoomunga and their Romper room class that were always assing off and doing the victory laps Yeah, making the snide comments or hang nail that quote-unquote empty headed dipshit That tried to do a shoot promo that was not only unintelligible to the audience that wasn't smart to that World but it was unintelligible to everybody else too because he couldn't figure out how to do it That's why you leave this shit to the professionals and again We'll talk more about it during a Smackdown review, but the limited interactions punk has had with other people Who would maybe be on his side or maybe not in the back whether it's Cody or Owens or Randy Orton? Whoever it may be That's kind of the way AEW should have had it not guys. Okay. You really don't like him go out there and let him know it Like that's not necessarily a good idea They're doing it right with punk right now. We still haven't seen any physical action We're still just excited to hear your words. Yeah, out of his mouth Well, and and here's the thing and again, we'll talk about it. Well, I guess we're talking about it now But we'll talk about it more But every one of the baby faces that he interacts with there's a certain level of Tension animosity outright pissiness from Seth Rollins who's you know, fuck you fuck you to all the way down to Cody who's Hello darkness my old friend welcome back, you know And it's funny that the guy that he's been most universally Welcome or not universally but most warmly welcomed by and and shook hands with is Cody Who is now? The other guy that has to win the Royal Rumble to finish his story Mm-hmm is it and and there's levels in between from Owens going now or go see you later Go ahead, whatever. This is what they did with the bloodline a year ago There are so many options to get somewhere any of them being plugged in are interesting and you can't wait to see what it is Punk has already established an interesting dynamic with Cody. Yep Owens. Yeah, certainly Rollins. Yeah, Randy Orton Roman Reigns. Yeah, amen. Yeah, I mean the only got along with so far as Nick all this So, I mean not got along with but just there's that tension like you said there's an interesting thing You don't know what punk's gonna do. He's not a declared baby face or a declared heel. He's just him and So far it's been good. We'll talk more about it later in the show, but Cody and punk This all could have been an AEW. Yep The more you see now of what's happening with WWE and they are right now having a Business boom so it's a special time to see them. Yeah, and then you see what's happening in AEW It's One is going one way one has gone around the hill and is going down the other way But by the way, I will say one thing punk will be very respectful of all this in a physical manner because they've already had Orton RKO him and they're not gonna go just punching up their goddamn General manager with no retort with everybody on the roster like would probably be happening over On the other side of the street, but anyway We will move along and the other side of the tree would hit him when a Canadian destroyer and then the other guy would get up And do the same thing to him On the other side of the street, I thought you were gonna say he'd probably hit him with a truck Oh man They make some very interesting points It's crazy to think AEW Tony cun. They they dropped the ball You even if you're an AEW superfan and you only watch that show you can't deny They dropped the ball They did there's there's no denying that they definitely dropped the ball They should be having some of these guys that they lost still over there Giving them some good programs good segments good matches. Once again Tony con didn't have full control over the people that he's employing And it's just been chaos and confusion and uncertainty So I don't know Hopefully aw can turn it around because I'm still one of those people that feels like good competition Is better for everybody, but right now They they they got some work. I'm not gonna be one of those guys say oh aw's dead No, I don't think aw's dead. I think they still have the people that will support them But the question is how long will that last they don't get things together And sort some things out and make some type of change because right now as it stands CM Punk has made a lot of noise and a lot of hype Just for the Royal Rumble and we're not even close to it yet WrestleMania season I Bear this has been I mean last year people were hype for WrestleMania. Don't give me don't get it twisted Last people last year people were definitely I want to say last year this year. Actually people were hype for WrestleMania, but The hype now It's in december. Well, it really started once CM Punk came back I mean, I think people were hype for the Royal Rumble before Punk came back But once he came back to WWE the hype just has increased every single week because there's so many Possibilities so many options these guys have to tell a great story at WrestleMania next year I can't wait. So comment down below. Let me know. Do you guys agree with uh, jim cornet?
