* Jake Hager (the former Wrestling/JackSwagger) is one of Cornette's favorite targets, as he just finds Hager to be a boring goof that adds nothing to the show.
--> "Is Hager's gimmick that he's a CPA going to a golf game? If it is I'll work with it, but otherwise what the fuck?"

* Cornette once "reviewed" {{Wrestling/Wardlow}} vs Wrestling/OrangeCassidy. Cornette [[https://youtu.be/1o5c5Tgncp8?feature=shared&t=284 proceeded to give]] Wardlow the phone numbers of various WWE executives as part of his "advice" to Wardlow.[[note]]And now HilariousInHindsight, since three of the four people who's numbers Cornette gave (Wrestling/VinceMcMahon, Wrestling/JohnLaurinaitis, Bruce Prichard, and Wrestling/JeffJarrett) are now out of WWE, Vince and Johnny Ace were turfed and are currently getting the [[Wrestling/ChrisBenoit Benoit]] [[UnPerson treatment]] thanks to their sex scandal, and Jarrett has since joined Wardlow in the AEW locker room (and Prichard is likely on his way out as well). Unfortunately for Wardlow Cornette doesn't really get along with Wrestling/TripleH or Wrestling/ShawnMichaels and doesn't have their phone numbers.[[/note]]

* The background scenes to many of the videos on Jim's [=YouTube=] page are often hilarious. One of the best is his reaction to Kenny Omega's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JrS48ucA1I speech at a mandatory AEW talent meeting]], where he told the wrestlers that he wouldn't have hired most of them if he were in charge. Jim's dissection of the meeting is funny, but the crowning moment is the scene of the Elite trying to intimidate him while he laughs at their pathetic efforts and Tony Kahn stands by cluelessly.

-->And I heard that fucking old antiquated piece of possum shit Jim Herd, from his own fucking thin little chicken lips, excitedly describing how "...and there's gonna be a ships bell in the corner, and when one of the Ding Dongs is in trouble the other one's gonna ring the bell and that's the signal for the people to cheer!" You know it was the old fucking bullhorn from the Kentuckians, days gone by... And they started ringing that bell and the people were like "Fuck you!" They were either laughing, or going to the concession stand, or just "Get the fuck out of this ring!" It was fucking ''horrible''. '''HORRIBLE!'''
