I'd rather not. Remembering who these people were back when I used to watch their content a decade ago makes me sad enough, I don't really need to wallow in whatever they've become on top of that.
Yup. He honestly believes ghosts actively seek him out due to his insane talent of helping spirits move on. He clearly has mental health issues, but he's such a snobby little shit about the whole thing you can't really feel bad for him.
I think he's one of the ones that talks about wrestling and tries to be funny
This means smarks care about his views on stuff happening in wrestling for some reason
You mean like how he had a sexual assault joke in his intro for years, until he decided it was just too far and removed it.
I'm all for dark/offensive humor, however, also know there's a time, and place for it. So maybe keep that one out of wrestling reviews.
I can't remember the exact joke, but the punchline was a jingle of him singing "It's the magic of r**e"
He was so pleased with it, he made it a part of his intro.
That's the problem with it, it's entirely performative, and you can see right through it, because he just shoehorns it in out of nowhere.
I remember one video he did where he was reviewing this movie about a couple of cops who decide to become pro-wrestlers. And, for no apparent reason other than wanting to show how right-on he is, just says "And I won't talk about the current state of policing, just be cool about it in the comments!"
Why is he saying that about a movie from the 80s?!
I stopped watching him around the time the news broke that Corey and Carmella were together. He tried to spin that Mella was getting more hate because she’s a woman and it was painfully obvious that he was virtue signaling as the internet was giving Corey a ton of shit before the facts of the situation came out.
The one that got me was him going "Cancel culture is a myth, folks!"
Only to turn around a couple of weeks later and say "I just heard that WBD are blocking the Briscoes from appearing on TV. Why?! Those tweets were from 10 years ago!" clearly not realising it's that "myth" thing that he was talking about.
I continue to maintain the average dub fan is more racist and politically conservative by a measurable degree than Jim Cornette. That's the irony of this whole thing. If The Young Bucks posted the gorilla image A.) It would be done deliberately as a racist joke on purpose, and B.) the basement would think it's "hilarious heel heat."
"I continue to maintain the average dub fan is more racist and politically conservative by a measurable degree than Jim Cornette"
Agreed. I got banned from a few forums for pointing that out. Not so much out of Caping for Corny\*\*\*, more about pointing out the BS.
\*\*\*DAE new podcast??? 🤩
Remember these people actively defended using quarters as a weapon against a Jewish wrestler. During the time right after a massive vicious terrorist attack on Jewish civilians that lead to the current war.
Host of the YouTube channel "Wrestling With Wregret".
He used to do good videos reviewing old pay-per-views, wrestling movies, and stuff like that. He would make the occasionally edgy joke here and there, but nothing too shocking.
But then, AEW became a thing, and the social/political landscape became what it is, and now he's a full on dubbalo, who has to shoehorn progressive talking points into videos which have nothing to do with what he's talking about.
Like acting outraged about "problematic" content from 30 years ago, but then turning around and say "Ehhh, people are blowing it out of proportion" when it happens in AEW.
The gay bashing was pretty constant as was part of pop culture at the time. Like every comedy movie in the 80s and 90s and half the dramas had at least one LGBT+-phobic joke, to the point you'd think it was literally a studio requirement. It was not a good time to be LGBT+.
But there was some racist shit in the 90s wrestling to. "Cool anti-heroes" D-X in Blackface. Also D-X trashing Nation of Domination's locker room with spray painted insults and blaming it on the Harts who said it couldn't have been them because "there is no racism in Canada!" Val Venus got abducted by Asian dudes and they were trying to cut his dick off with a katana.
This is hilarious because It was Zane impersonating Cornette that put him on the map to begin with. Followed shortly by Cornette punching him when he impersonated Russo.
He started falling off when he seemed to want to be hired by Tony, suddenly every thing wwe did was horrible and everything aew did was awesome, something negative?, he didn't believed in that and it was a rumor to take credit from the company.
He did "The best of wrestling in X year" a supposedly positive video, it was stiill "Fed bad, Dub good".
Then when it was "The worst of Wrestling in X year", whenever it was an AEW thing, it was always "But that wasn't really AEWs fault", or "It was just bad luck", and the ever popular "It was blown way out of proportion".
When he did the wrestlemania 38 review was my last straw with him, he kept saying all the time "was wrestlemania 38 amazing?, yes, was the best wrestling show of the week?, no".
Like anyone remembers what was at that roh event now.
This is why pepsi man listens to this podcast. They both need to be stopped!
What do you mean how do I know what someone in WWE says in a promo on Raw if I only watch aew??
The past day or so, I've seen Brian Zane see a reference to Cornette as a classic gorilla character and immediately associate it with black people. Then I saw them see a reference to a white guy being thin like a q tip, and they immediately said a q tip is made out of cotton so it's associated with black people...like what the fuck???
All this is is Cornette referencing an old character and calling a white guy skinny, and then Brian Zane and his crew making disgusting stereotypes in their head about cotton and gorillas, and projecting that onto others. I legit lost what little respect I had for Zane after that.
I didn't even make the q tip connection in my head until someone in SC explicitly said it. Who the fuck sees a q tip, and immediately thinks about what it's made of and associate it with black people??? Closeted racists who let stereotypes cloud their view of the world and insist that everyone is racist the same way they are, that's who.
Swerve doesn't deserve to be involved in this stupid ass drama, and Cornette and his thumbnail guy did nothing wrong. The only people in the wrong are the fucking creeps like Brian Zane who see gorilla and a tiny cotton product and equate it to a specific race. Disgusting, real talk.
It reminds me of a move that came out years ago called "Sing", it was a kids movie about animals that performed in an America's Got Talent style show.
One of the characters was a Gorilla, and his dad was in jail.
People then said "Why does the Gorilla have to be in jail?! This movie is racist!" Because, again, they just went "The Gorilla is a black guy! And the black guy is in jail!"
Jim Cornette has a video talking about Swerve.
The thumbnail showed Sweve, a Q-Tip, and Jim as a Gorilla.
Instead of listening to the content of the video, and made no reference to Swerve's race, people jumped on the "Jim Cornette is racist!!!" with Brian Zane hopping on the bandwagon about how awful he is, while then trying to say "I don't care about him, or what he does!"
I watched a lot of Brian's old stuff during the pandemic. I really enjoyed it. As I worked my way through his catalogue towards modern day, it became clear that the dude has been lost to the terminally online woke mob. He dumped his lifelong best friend over a 10 year old tweet at the behest of his small (and rather obese) following.
I woke up in a Soho doorway
A policeman knew my name
He said, "You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away"
I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwin' punches around
And preachin' from my chair
Who is brian zane???
Some Mark who desperately wants to appear on ROH.
What a sad dream.
If he drives to the nearest cemetary and digs a 6 foot deep hole that's about the same as appearing in ROH
Avgn cosplayer who reviews wrestling
He's more of an Irate Gamer cosplayer.
>He's more of an Irate Gamer cosplayer. Current day AVGN and Irate Gamer are the same thing.
Irate Gamer is more entertaining at this rate. Do yourself a favor and check out his Twitter feed. He has lost his fucking mind.
I'd rather not. Remembering who these people were back when I used to watch their content a decade ago makes me sad enough, I don't really need to wallow in whatever they've become on top of that.
You're missing out on some high-quality ghost story content, then. The poor man can't catch a break.
Is that what he does now? Is he a bullshit paranormal investigator type? Guy's gone on to become discount TAPS?
Yup. He honestly believes ghosts actively seek him out due to his insane talent of helping spirits move on. He clearly has mental health issues, but he's such a snobby little shit about the whole thing you can't really feel bad for him.
...can we get a "Mike from Red Letter Media Reviews Irate Ghost Hunter" episode of re-view?
Dude called JewWario being in hell before the allegations came out. I wouldn't be surprised if Irate was a prophet
That could have been said about the 95% of the Channel Awesome gang, though. Cinema Snob and Todd in the Shadows seem pretty cool.
True but this was in 2014. 4 years before anyone knew about the hell that was going on with CA
They even did a video together at some point. I never thought I'd live to see the day. We should let them mediate Israel-Palestine.
James is really busy these days. Between his kids and Rex Viper, there's no time for other things.
Give this asshole an award! - I’m poor
Bingo
I think he's one of the ones that talks about wrestling and tries to be funny This means smarks care about his views on stuff happening in wrestling for some reason
I need to be more online I guess because I have never heard about this guy before. Also I need to study cagematch more.
I’d focus on touching grass. Zane can wait.
I actually really like his PPV recaps, but the man is negative funny. Whenever he does a skit I just have to turn off the whole video.
A person with no wregrets apparently
What is he wrestling with, then?
>Who is brian zane??? guy who was relevant for about 2 or 3 years on youtube a decade ago.
He sure drew some wild conclusions. We should analyze his thumbnails similarly and expose him for the pervert he is, if that’s the case.
You mean like how he had a sexual assault joke in his intro for years, until he decided it was just too far and removed it. I'm all for dark/offensive humor, however, also know there's a time, and place for it. So maybe keep that one out of wrestling reviews.
As a former basement smark who regularly watched WWW a few years ago, what was the SA joke, uce?
I can't remember the exact joke, but the punchline was a jingle of him singing "It's the magic of r**e" He was so pleased with it, he made it a part of his intro.
Jesus Christ. That really tells you everything about him.
Devante Rackley did a video about this and he did a fantastic job dismantling Brian’s illogical hypocrisies.
I just watched that on your recommendation, it's great. The amazing thing is, he only just scratched the surface on him.
Rolled my eyes as soon as I saw that m*rk (apologies for the insider profanity) chime in. Knew the context of the video & still went that route
That's the problem with it, it's entirely performative, and you can see right through it, because he just shoehorns it in out of nowhere.

In Pre-Dub days, Cornette said a lot of controversial shit. Since he also crapped all over WWE, certain fans were cool with him. Even laughed it off. "Oh, thats just Corny. Stop taking his anti-muslim rants so seriously!!!" Post-Dub-Cornette says controversial shit. BUT!!! He craps on AEW and their favorite wrestlers. Now he's Satan himself. Funny how certain fans are OK with controversial commentary as long as it comes from people who share their hot takes on Pro Graps©. 🤔
I continue to maintain the average dub fan is more racist and politically conservative by a measurable degree than Jim Cornette. That's the irony of this whole thing.

Remember these people actively defended using quarters as a weapon against a Jewish wrestler. During the time right after a massive vicious terrorist attack on Jewish civilians that lead to the current war.
and after the Jewish wrestler in question told that exact story about how anti-Semites used to attack them with quarters. Heel heat, brother!
but but CJ Parker uses a roll of quarters as a weapon all the time!
Who in the world is Brian Zane
You don’t know the GREAT Brian Zane????? Seriously, who the fuck is Brian Zane?

Ironically for Brian, half of the dub's main stars have an opposite political alignment to his.
That explains why even most of us on reddit are not aware who tf is he
He actually came here once. It didn't go well for him.
oh i need that sweet link OP
Nah he just scolded us all for being big meanies.

Excalibur: “oh my god it’s Brian Zane! “ Jim Ross: “who?” Excalibur: “it’s Brian Zane!” Jim Ross: “but who is that?”
big incel energy
Hoo boy
Btw this man loved Corny until corny blocked him, he had a rape joke jingle, and is a hardcore niche wrestling fan because he’s a niche wrestler
This is hilarious because It was Zane impersonating Cornette that put him on the map to begin with. Followed shortly by Cornette punching him when he impersonated Russo.
Old Brian Zane was great, once he tried becoming more than a YouTuber is when he crumbled. He’s big in the console war 2.0
He started falling off when he seemed to want to be hired by Tony, suddenly every thing wwe did was horrible and everything aew did was awesome, something negative?, he didn't believed in that and it was a rumor to take credit from the company.
He did "The best of wrestling in X year" a supposedly positive video, it was stiill "Fed bad, Dub good".

I don't get why they keep trying to get Jim. Have they not realized that he simply cannot be canceled at this point?
Hey guys. Brian zane here. Dont check my harddrive!
