I don't agree with everything Corny says, but it's part of his charm, haha. His mouth is what enabled him and the people he managed to draw money back in the day when the business was still heavily reliant on ticket revenue. I largely prefer the product of his day to what the promotions are putting on TV now (the current product was lousy even before any COVID restrictions entered the picture).

One of the tricky parts about the wrestling business is how a person can extend his or her career beyond taking bumps in the ring by acting as a manager, match agent, ambassador, etc. Also, many of the ex-wrestlers either didn't make great money or didn't manage the money they made too well, so they hold something back in shoot interviews because they don't want to tick off anyone who might give them another job. Cornette is financially secure enough that he doesn't need to kiss up to anyone in the business, so he says exactly what he's thinking.

He put himself in a position where he was always making good money off of the shows and he obviously saved some of it. He could sure come up with some hilarious stuff in his rants when he was managing. You can't find a better historian of the business than Cornette.

Agree with you wholeheartedly that the old time stuff is far superior.

I don't subscribe to him, but he's a character. The one of him commenting on Steve Gadd's drum solo in "Aja" was funny. Here are some of my favorites:

Haircut Harry - haircuts around the world, filmed by "Mystery Woman"
kitboga - IMO, the unchallenged king of scamming the phone scammers.
irlRosie - anti-scammer and incredible voice talent. Does a great Siri
James Veitch - scamming the email scammers with a hysterical skewed British sensibility
Advanced Chiropractic Relief - feel that ring-dinger all the way down? Crack addicts gonna love you. Yes, ma'am!
Rob Brown - drumming tips
Mike Johnston - drumming tips
Foresty Forest - outdoors self-sufficient enthusiast who lives out of his minivan camper, complete with solar panels, battery storage, and a functioning kitchen. His attempt to drive to the Arctic circle was breathtaking.

Haircut Harry is great. Your Houston chiropractor, Dr. Gregory Johnson at Advanced Chiropractic Relief is good, too, but he can go off the deep end on his political opinions sometimes.

I like...

Chris Stuckmann - movie reviewer, but doesn't get too fanboyish or play up a character. Just a normal guy. Akron resident, too.

Binging with Babish - cooking, sometimes attempts to make foods seen in movies, ie the prison sauce from Goodfellas or a Krabby Patty. Has that irreverent back of the house sense of humor.

Deer Meat for Dinner - hunting/fishing. Cooks everything he kills.

A Better Official - Basketball referee who comments on high school footage

Ali Spagnola - music production, sometimes combines songs with different song styles, like what would Baby Shark sound like as a Lady Gaga song?

Legal Eagle - lawyer giving his perspective on current events, sometimes comments on law-related movies and laws broken in movies like Batman, Willie Wonka, or Jurassic Park.

Now You See It - movie analysis focusing on theme and meaning.

Lessons from the Screenplay - movie analysis focusing on screenwriting.

Every Frame a Painting - movie analysis focusing on visuals and cinematography

Haha. I'm not a fan of "Starmaker" Bolin.

Another podcast/youtube channel I'm enjoying is "What Happened When", a.k.a. WHW which starred former longtime WCW play-by-play commentator Tony Schiavone. It hasn't been in production for awhile, but I recently stumbled upon it and am slowly working my way through the episodes. It's interesting to get his perspective on where certain booking angles came from, how poorly operated WCW was, and why Vince McMahon was able to win the promotional war in the long run. On many of the episodes, they talk about specific PPVs or Nitro episodes with Schiavone providing hilarious play-by-play for particular matches. Schiavone is basically a dirty old man.
 
I love developing spying apps, so my favorite channels are from the various cool companies website that are developing and selling these apps.

Do you know such sites?
 
I've been on YouTube since the beginning and have subbed to over 300+ Channels over the years. I love all sorts of things bands channels for the newest music videos. World, US, music, movie and gaming history. Various NFL YouTubers, podcasts like Joe Rogan. Marble racing circuit, A bunch of critics of various media. Psychology and sociology channels. Like, one or two Let's Play channels. YouTube is probably my main source of media intake.

My favorite channel isn't active anymore, and only has a few uploads, but it's REALLY GOOD.
Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows.
 
Ok, am I the only one who just watched the last two videos above and realized they are talking about the exact same thing...and I'm not even stoned right now!
 
In this video, they mailed him spray painted golden spoons and convinced him they were priceless antiques they could sell in the black market

 
I'm really enjoying the solo international travelers on YouTube who go off the beaten path or into third world countries and are able to enjoy their time by simply carrying a positive attitude and being outgoing with the locals. Guys like these three - Kurt Caz, bald and bankrupt, and Karl Rock.


I really like too that all of their videos are simply fly on the wall vlogging. No elaborate intros, no smashing that like button, etc.

Babish is great. As far as cooking channels, I also like Joshua Weissman

Spoilers: a little debbie downer to follow. I did some of that traveling. TBH the ones with the cameras can be annoying. They spend more time seeing everything through a lens, they see little. They're trying to make moments as opposed to be in the moment. Cameras distort reality. No one acts the same when they're on. Sometimes, you just have to get away from those jokers in order to see the reality of a place and people.
 
Even though it seems like a 30 yr joke on someone seems cruel, it’s not if if the person is a POS. Perry is a POS, so it’s ok to laugh at his misery

 
I subscribed to this guys channel a few years back. He's from Lviv, Ukraine and builds some pretty cool stuff, often with a little help from his kids.


FVP
 
I like watching the guys who fish/hunt then cook it, can learn some pretty cool recipes from there. I also liked the men who buy rusty old object and restore them. Very interesting!
 
I have been Binge watching people who "hot tent camp"...camping out in the dead of winter in a tent with a small stove. I will do that some day.
