SHOOT DVD REVIEWS #1: Kayfabe Commentaries with Jim Cornette (2014)

“Kevin Steen is the perfect guy to be your top star and champion if you want to work in front of 400 people in a rec centre.”

WHAT do you expect from a Jim Cornette shoot DVD? If you want hilarious, outta-control ranting, then that's what you're gonna get. But what could Jimbo possibly add to this latest shoot DVD that he hasn't already said on the dozens he's done in the past. Well, quite a bit, actually. In fact, THREE HOURS WORTH!
Host Sean Oliver covers the gamut of the past 2-3 years in Cornette's life: from Sean's own falling out with Jim (they're now friends again - I guess money heals all wounds), Cornette's final weeks in TNA and his dealings with Vince Russo, Dixie Carter, Terry Taylor and Jeff Jarrett. Cornette then goes into minute detail about everything that went wrong during his tenure booking/co-booking Ring Of Honor.
If you hate Cornette, then this section will make you hate him more, especially when he buries the likes of Kevin Steen, Grizzly Redwood and the Super Smash Brothers. If you love him (as I do), then you still may get tired as he itemises every single thing that ROH did wrong and how NONE of it was his fault.
The wrestling legend saves his main vitriol for ROH management and the Sinclair Broadcast Group. Oh boy...does he bury those guys. He especially sprays Greg Gilliland ("Greg the office boy") and merchandise guy Ross Abrams (who he directly says on camera is a "pussy" and a "prick"...and that's his kinder descriptions). He also buries (former?) friend Gary Juster for being gutless.
Basically, as fascinating as this two-disc set is, I think it ran too long and Sean Oliver really should have reined Corny in as he almost gets boring with his anal detail on ROH's incompetence.
The DVD wraps up with some quick questions on pop culture, organised religion and why having his wife Stacey work in OVW WASN'T nepotism.
In the end, I can't rate this DVD higher than **** out of a possible 5 stars. Still, I'd recommend you check it out, especially if you're an ROH fan who was wondering what the hell happened to the promotion during 2012.
