I was at a show in connecticut where my brother was portraying a heel manager sort of character, and of course I directed as much derisive noise at him as possible. At some point, without giving me or apparently anyone else any advance notice he came over and smashed a plastic cup on my head and I acted like I had just gotten shot and slid out of the chair while mumbling "call the police!." Then the security tried to throw HIM out because they thought he was just assaulting random audience members. Supposedly I was even bleeding! Definitely the best part of the day.
A few years ago I was at a indie show at ringside w/a vip seat and during a tag team street fight outside of the ring one of the wrestlers pointed at me and said move, i ran off and looked back and watched as he took my chair bashed his opponent in the head 4 times sat it down and yelled: hey you can have your seat back. lmao
Now THAT'S crowd participation... and you did well!
I could listen to Cornette ALL DAY!
Sometimes I do
What's stopping you?
Same here, his accent is awesome!
I do. I work in a factory. One earbud is allowed. Bring on the omnibus!
I do listen to him all day
>Girlfriend
>At a Ring of Honor show
lol, no.
That's not how this works 😂😂😂
“Pretty good shape” really meant “pants fit”
Roddy Piper said one time his favorite trick was to catch a fan trying to get in through the ropes and curb stomp him into the ring apron.
Travis W And then Nash bitch slapped him down into the ground.
@@guyincognito5706 watch your mouth trailer dweller lol and Piper kicked his leg out lol everybody but Nash has admitted Piper smashed one of Kevin's fragile stick legs and didnt get "punked". On the other hand Nash would have made you his personal bag-b*tch
@@chrismorgan8330 I agree piper kicked hia ass kevin full of horse shit hes embrassed the rowdy one bitch slapped him I'd lie to 🤣
Lawler was probably so used to it that he saw everybody coming. Those Memphis fans were insane.
nothing makes me more angry than when wrestlers fight into the crowd. its a lawsuit waiting to happen if the fans come into the ring or ringside area, then they get what they deserve if they get their ass handed to them. but i beg wrestlers not to brawl into the crowd. brawl in the ring, at ringside, even in the aisleway, but not the crowd, that should be off limits.
I remember being security at an Indie show where the wrestlers decided that brawling in the kids area would be a great idea. The parents were all like "if my son gets hurt I'mma sue your ass"
I remember an incident at a local show where I used to live when some guy who was high as a kite invaded the ring during a match and one of the wrestlers literally grabbed him and threw him over the ropes like a sack of potatoes from roughly the middle of the ring, the idiot's foot got caught in the ropes and he ended up slamming his face into the ring apron so hard the he knocked himself out and shattered his face.
That single moment bankrupted both the promoter and the wrestler.
Hammerhead547 How? You jump in the ring you’re breaking the law
@@chitownace777 It would be easy to argue that the steps the wrestler took were excessive and led to unnecessary bodily harm. Also it's possible that they could have argued that it wasn't the wrestler's place to take such steps especially if there was some form of security. And lastly, like Jim mentioned, a lot of judges are more likely to be on the side of the idiot storming the ring.
@@ThatTransMuffinOfficial only in America can you be stupid and get rewarded for it.
If you don't wanna get your ass kicked at a show, stay in a fan's place and you'll be alright.
Seeing this after the Fan attack on Rollins lol
I went to a local show in 2007. Two fans front row start beating up one of the wrestlers who roll to the outside. Two other fans and the ring announcer bounce the two out of the place. Also this was during a an ROH style Pure Match.
Dirtnation2 lol. I was at wrestling once by myself and a guy was their with his son. He smelled of whiskey and the wrestler did the standard "promo" and the town was heavily Portuguese and Mr. Whisky was trying to hop the rail for saying stuff about his son and his son's mom! I was like don't do it dude!
One of the wildest riots I've seen is when the road warriors vs Curt Hennig and the baron and it turned into a total mess.
I was there as an 8yr old, it happened at the Hammond Civic Center in Hammond, IN. People were throwing chairs and all
I'd been wondering about that with current day ROH. They have a spot almost every week on TV where they launch a guy into the middle of a railing section, and of course, if moves right into the fans' knees and shins. That has to hurt like hell, and I'm surprised it hasn't broken legs.
Kind of a funny story but i was at a local indie show a few years ago and me and my Dad were on front row at the middle of the rail. A heel guy flew over the top trying to hit the babyface but the babyface moved out of the way and the heel hit the rail with his back. The rail was supposed to move but my Dad had his legs on the bottom of the rail and it didnt move an inch. The heel shook it off but looked directly up at us going "What the hell?" My Dad can move his legs but can't feel them normally. He absorbed almost all of this 140-150 lb heel's dive.
For a great wrestling riot, check out Spiros Arion vs Colin Joynson, it's on youtube.
Thought this was going to be about Tony Khan...
Try to imagine if UFC fighters were allowed to draw heat like that.
Oh man, where is the video with the story about the Midnights fighting the guy in West Virginia? That happened in my hometown of Beckley, have been wanting to hear Jim's story on that for years.
Ask him, send in an email.
I think the last time and pro wrestling that fan scared enough and believes enough to jump the rails and hit the railing to go after the heel was the Monday Night War era. I can remember several times in WCW That WCW fans would storm the ring to get at the NWO guys. Hell a lot of times WCW fans we’re getting into fistfights with NWO fans. I was a huge NWO fan and my mom drove a school bus for the county that she had parked outside our house. The night after WCW fall brawl wargames 1997 some diehard 4 Horsemen fans spray painted “fuck you nwo “ on my mom’s bus. I really miss the 80s and 90s. Today’s fans really aren’t into it like we were. We actually really loved someone in the ring or really hated somebody in the ring. Today it’s the fans going there so they can take over a show and it’s all about the fancy instead of the show.
I remember so many fans being beaten up on Nitro it almost was common place.
Proper wrestling back then.
@@gumdeo I'd rather not go to a show and risk getting assaulted over liking a wrestling group. People took that shit too seriously.
Ahhh wrestling before the "you dee-zerve it" generation took over
@Jeremy Stillwell you'd have to be a moron to watch this current shit
Hey Lorney Pop, hows life after prison??
@@timmylong833 omg timmy I thought you had blonde hair?
you know kugan yeah I died it, so do you like it?
@@timmylong833lmao. Love seeing fellow tcappers out in the wild....I'm just on my way to lantic city
I had a wrestler land on my foot at an indy show once. My first thought was I gotta move out of the way.
I don't know how more accidents with fans didn't happen at the Sportatorium in Dallas with World Class. Fritz Von Erich was a lawsuit fixin to happen by only having DENTAL FLOSS surrounding ringside to protect fans from wrestlers because he was too cheap to get real steel barricades to do the job! Even Mid South up the road had barricades--at least Bill Watts had enough legal sense to realise that was a liability and was willing to spare that expense to keep fans and wrestlers safe
So now I've learned that Jimmy Jacobs isn't someone to fuck with
Holy shit that emailer was either lying or he’s a total mark for himself. Jacobs would have kicked his ass
People are going to have to sign and agree they will take full responsibility for their actions and will not sue before entering an event.
A few people ruining things for everyone else has to stop.
Not binding...
When you sign something that a lawyer has authorized in anyway it will be binding.
And that's why we have metal detectors at shows these days😅
I got a hard stick detector... And I detect that you're a big boy
[ insert "watch out, we got a badass over here" meme here ]
Why does everybody that is 6'4 think they are a bad ass 🤣
I wish I had of heard of this fellah earlier but I’m listening now lmfao
Depends if you jump the railing to fight Shawn Michael's you might get the best of him but if you jump the railing against haku that might be the last thing you ever do. Or new jack imagine that happening
Haku orNew Jack?! There wouldve been a murder!
Of course is possible for fan to beat a wrestler in fight. A "fan" might be anyone MMA fighter for example lol sure wrestlers can beat most people but at the end of the day it's just 2 people fighting anything is possible.
Someone jumping Haku may as well be saying he's trying to commit suicide.
The best crazy fans ever were the Wild Samoans; scaring the shit out of every heel going into the ring.
But Jimmy wasn't scared of the big guy
Monroe Civic Center mid South wrestling.Iron Mike sharp thru Ted Dibiase onto me and a cousin of mine.Cornette was standing in center of entrance . Yes good times
Dude who asked the question
Quit tryna convince us or yourself cuz you wouldn’t have done shit😂😂😂
Zami Zayn was ready to cross the barrier..... 😉🤔😜😂
During Randy Savage's run in WCW, fans would always try to get into the ring whenever he was in a match. Never saw fans do that to anyone else.
Randy savage was known as a p3d0 for sleeping with Stephanie McMahon when she was 11-17yrs old 😢
I dont believe that to be true. All it is was rumor. Nobody knows for sure whether its true or not. That would suck if it was true but we will never know. @@AcornSmokes420
FYI about the beginning of this video for those who may not know (or care to use a search engine), Tyler Black is WWE's Seth Rollins.
The late blackjack mulligan was also stabbed by a fan in his leg loss a lot of blood
we'd have flipped on them.....im ded.
Someone pulled a knife on Moxley back in WWE and Mox was a major baby face
Fan jumps Nikita during Nikita v. Flair.
Triple H Stone Cold match, Hunter was all over that dude.
If it was like it was back in the day I bet the young bucks would lose matches after being hit by the trash people threw into WCW rings. First grade little ass got knocked out by a paper bag maggle!
Anyone else sleep listening to Jim>? I don't even care about wrestling anymore.
I like to listen to you breathe and let out huge sighs. Make me feel warm inside. Thanks
1:07 DEAD
🐽
I'm 5'8 and have whooped 2 ppl over 6 foot. That mark at the start must think tallness equals being a ultimate soldier lol
I'm 6ft yeah why does 6'4. People thi k they bad asses its always that height well im 6'4 and your scared of me 🤣
🤓🎾
I was at this SHOW. The guy was watching the men's bathroom all night long. He also had knee pads on and every time a guy wud go n the bathroom the 6 ft 4 guy wud apply chap stick and follow the man n the bathroom
Nice sounds like you know a lot about that... Been practicing?
Cornette lies. He himself tells the story of how the Samoans were recruited because they kept beating up the heels so they had to smarten them up to stop it.
Old wrestling, I get the appeal, but it had the dumbest fucking fans. You're on parole and you're willing to lose it because of a fake fight?
You never deserved it to begin with, and if you thought it was real, same thing.
I don't care what Cornette says, WWF's "cartoon wrestling" from the 80s on & most of the brief time WCW was in existence were the best for wrestling.
The only problem with it nowadays are the joke wrestlers and all the dorky, nerdy losers known as smarks.
He's dumb, that's why he's a criminal. Criminals aren't smart enough to know the consequences of their actions, and that stupidity extends into everything else they do in life--including inserting themselves into wrestling matches
One thing on wrestling I disagree with Jim on is how many actual marks there were in the old days. When I was a little kid, and I mean 7 years old, none of my friends thought wrestling was real. And this was pre-internet pre-shoot interview pre-sports entertainment era. Back thirty years ago old people liked pro wrestling. My grandmother loved wrestling and she knew it was a work.
