Official Jim Cornette
Hosted by Jim Cornette
A legendary, controversial wrestling manager and his co-host review and critique modern and historical pro wrestling with blistering honesty.
This is a co-hosted commentary podcast where legendary wrestling figure Jim Cornette and host Brian Last review and react to the week's events in WWE, AEW, and other promotions. Cornette uses his decades of experience as a manager, booker, and promoter to offer scathing, often hilarious, critiques of modern wrestling booking, characters, and in-ring work. These contemporary reviews are frequently contrasted with deep dives into wrestling history, based on Cornette's personal experiences.
“The show's primary draw is Cornette himself—a uniquely polarizing and articulate figure whose decades of high-level experience provide unmatched historical context and credibility to his famously caustic "rants." The dynamic with co-host Brian Last, who tees up topics and listener questions, creates the structure for Cornette's signature tirades and storytelling.”
