The Jim Cornette Appreciation and/or Discussion Thread
- Thread starter Swamps
- Start date
Brian Gewritz came in the WWF to write Rock promos right before Russo left in late 1999.
By late 1999 The Rock had been the top draw in professional wrestling for about a year and Russo already established his character for the last 2 and a half years, Rock had his catchphrases established too.
So the idea that Gewirtz wrote all the Rock stuff goes out the window, how you came up with that I don’t know.
As far as Austin, Austin didn’t succeed and was a typical southern heel until Russo became head writer and did the double turn at Wrestlemania 13 before this Austin didn’t draw.
As far as the Russo filter myth thats false, it was reported in 1999 that Vince McMahon would accept Russo scripts without even looking, and as a filter McMahon sucks and makes stuff worse, as evident pre and post Russo with stuff like mantaur, Katie Vick, Mae Young’s hand.
But I’m glad you brought the McMahon Filter myth up, so can post the busting of this myth:
Know what you’re talking about before you engage in a debate with me, because I’m going to come with facts and only facts.
Ya did name this appreciation/discussion Swamps...if you want it to be more echo-y like the others then edit the title
Calling Vince Russo Shitstain is not gonna win you the debate nor refute the facts laid out, which you completely ducked.
Whats next are you gonna call me a yankee because I’m from New York? Like that’s some insult.
And yes Gewirtz was trained by Russo, and was in the company right before he left in late 1999.
The Rock had been the top draw since November of 1998 when he was getting bigger ratings than Austin segments. The Rock and The Rock Character were established a full year before Gewritz was even in the company.
Cornettes writing is just as horrible and mindnumbingly insulting as AEW is, so for him to shit on them when he did the same, is hypocritical.
The writer to listen to that shits on AEW is Russo, he’s been successful in every single tenure and is the most successful writer in wrestling history.
Someone's a Brand member.....
Yep, Russo has the most entertaining podcast, he only brings facts to the table while entertainingly refuting falsehoods from fanatical so called smark marks and fake news dirtsheets that have zero sources(or in Meltzer’s case Cornette as a source lol)
Castrating the Marks is by the far the best podcast show on the net.
Not sure the Brawl For All was successful. It all stands on your own viewpoint. I don't enjoy rewatching the Attitude Era because Crash TV isn't my style of wrestling.
Nah the brawl for all wasn’t successful and was never meant to be, it existed for the sole purpose of getting JBL knocked out.
Crash TV isn’t your style because your apart of a niche fanatical taste of wrestling, a taste that hardly anyone has.
Whereas pretty much everyone loved the crash tv style/Attitude era, mainstream audiences loved it, 13 million shares between WWF & WCW loved it and many millions more who recently discovered it on the Internet.
I don't know why you gotta sound like a jerk, but I don't like the Crash TV Style because it doesn't appeal to me. I don't like the Crash TV because I'm not into edgy stuff.
So... Jim Cornette. Let's talk about him in here.
If you catch what I'm not so subtly threatening.

Indeed, back to Jim Cornette one of the worst writers in wrestling history.
Thoughts on Mantaur a character written under Cornette:
