Watching Cornette's Book This DVD.

[It's...Baylariat!]

It's a great watch so far. He's rebooking the WCW Invasion angle. This will wet my palette. And my balls.

 

[klunderbunker]

Grab a beer. Something tells me it's going to be very long.

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

2 discs. 3 hours total. He's JUST NOW going into his time in JCP. nearly 20 minutes in.

 

[klunderbunker]

Check out his RF video. They average 3-4 hours. Cornette goes for 8.

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

I'll hope to get a hold of that. I'm going to start watching some old school bookers shoot on things. Why not right?

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

An hour and 8 minutes in... Cornette's NOW talking about the WCW Invasion angle and is in the process of rebooking it. LOL

 

[klunderbunker]

How many stories/tangents has he gone on?

You get Cornette for that many hours, I get Heroes of Wrestling. What's wrong with this picture??/

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

Right though?

About 10-15 tangents. From talking about OVW, to Jim Herd, to how ECW ruined the modern wrestling business to how much he hates John Laurinitis(sp?), Kevin Dunn, and which bookers he looked up to. Interesting stuff and his idea for the first night of the Invasion angle is pretty awesome.

What would he have done differently?

Fill me in, man. Fill me in.

It's tough to explain, because he's so detailed, but the gist of what he wanted was to throw kayfabe out the window during Vince's first promo since buying Nitro. Also, he wanted to keep Nitro and Raw as a separate entity and to alternate WCW and WWE PPV's during the Invasion. He also wanted Regal and Benoit to have a shoot fight, and then have Arn Anderson call out Vince for not respecting the wrestling 'code'. And he also wanted a real green Brock Lesnar to 'break Ric Flair's arm' during a wrestling match that breaks down. Some of his ideas are great, but some are out there for the most part. His idea to have Vince, Bischoff, the main players in the WWE and WCW to be on Raw and to have them all speak from the heart and make it seem real is very intriguing. The one thing he stressed is he wanted to have the fans 'believe it'. Which I 100% agree with.

He also made it logical for Vince to buy the bigger contracts from Turner Broadcasting, that way some bigger names would be in the invasion. Makes sense considering he bought the WCW for 2-4 million dollars. Cornette said if Vince would drop 5 million on contracts of major names, he'd get a bigger payoff. Which could be true. It's real interesting. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes the ins and outs of wrestling.

The Guest Booker series is pretty good.

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

The Guest Booker series is pretty good.

I want JJ Dillion's and Kevin Sullivan's Guest Booker series, too. But Cornette's is great.

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

So watching the second part of the DVD. Cornette apparently thinks highly of Terry Funk as he's building a feud with Undertaker and also gave Funk a run with the Intercontinental title. Also, reuniting the Road Warriors, had Angle beat up on Rick Steiner, has Vince fire Mick Foley, then Cactus Jack returns to WCW on Ric Flair's dime. Flair is WCW GM, while Bischoff is now Vince's assistant.

Some wild stuff here folks. X would make babies with Jim Cornette based on how he's treating Terry Funk.

That looks like a very good card. I would actually pay good money to see most of those matches. I'm downloading it now and I can't wait.

Also, did he explain why he would have Dusty Rhodes vs. Hogan? That match seems kind of odd since he could put Hogan in a much bigger match.

Just to find a place for Hogan on the card. He'd have Dusty talk smack about him, hence the challenge being laid down. No real build for it.
