You can listen to Brian each week on the 6:05 Superpodcast at 605pod.com. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
This was entertaining enough for a Round 2 of Trivia.
Maybe Jim could do another version.
This trivia was fun as hell!
I laughed so hard at "equestrian device" hahaha
I agree!
This seems right up Cornette's alley, really enjoyed this.
I'm sitting here wondering how he remembers all this. But history is why I listen
@@tylerdurden788 Corny is a walking encyclopedia of wrestling !
I actually did pretty good on this one as well
This and guess the program are better than listening about WWE and AEW... any day of the week
@@rockybalboa1847 Lol - you ain't never lied
Holy crap! Ox Baker was my great uncle. I've seen pictures. He was actually a really great dancer according to my Granny.
THE HEART PUNCH!
Did you ever get to see the wicker furniture set he won on the price is right?
@@spanky9676 I didn't really know him that well but yes it was still there in the 90s
One of the best heals in his era !
I would love an omnibus of Corny and Brian doing wrestling trivia. Friggin' walking encyclopedias, they are.
Lol
Or him playing the WWF Wrestlemania board game b/c he’d get stumped b/c he wasn’t watching as he’d put it “any of that shit” lol
There were 2 big reasons that Mid-South took off in 1979: Bill Watts and his excellent management and booking skills; and the oil boom in Louisiana in the wake of the Middle East oil embargo. There was more disposable income in south Louisiana than there had been in decades. Watts took advantage of that.
Jim Cornette and Brian last should make their own trivia game I would totally buy it.
@5:15, the moment we knew Corny was HOOKED!! Now, I want a special segment just for this game.
Nothing like some good ol' trivia with Jim Cornette!
PLEASE do more trivia questions of this Gordon Solie Trivia! When I heard there was even a game like this my excitement turn on full throttle! It's not just because it's a game, but it is because this is wrestling history that we can learn "why" they are correct, or even incorrect from after Jim answers the card questions. Do I have to beg for crying out loud!? Okay, you got me...I'm on my arthritic knees here now, do I need to pucker my lips for you, too??? lol
"How much Jack Daniels can you drink in a typical Porkchop Cash match"?
for the years prior to Pro Wrestling Illustrated's Annual Awards, they based the winners according Victory Sports Series "Wrestling Annual" starting in 1973(#4) and up to 1981(for the year 1980). PWI started in 1982(March issue) to do their own Annuals.
The original "Great American Bash" tour in 1985 was billed as the "50th Anniversary of Jim Crockett Promotions Tour," so that is probably where the board game makers got the idea that JCP started in 1935.
I lived in mid south during its time and JYD was soooooooooooooo over … the guy could not go wrong and when he came out to another one bites the dust , the pop was HUGE !! He was beloved by everyone. Watching the little kids dancing to his music when he was coming to the ring was awesome. He was super over. Rip JYD
Play the record. I want to hear Gordon's message from beyond the grave in heaven. It will be Gordon Solie's goodbye for all eternity. Our last chance to hear from the Dean of Wrestling Announcers.
We definitely would love to hear him again 🙏
Indeed. RIP to a true legend and one of the greatest wrestling commentators of all time.
Sports entertainment international Inc. 1987....had Vince ever uttered those words that early? Surprised Corny didn't bring that up.
PWI inherited The Wrestler awards from 1971 or whenever they started until its own publication began. I definitely remember them spelling this out in one or more of the Year-End issues.
Gordon Solie: the Belly-to-Belly supley
Otto & the phone books was an AWA segment at one point.
Also pics in the Apter mags.
I knew the answer to that question because of the AWA. He shredded those phone books like they were paper bags..
@@Coco.B. same here grew up watching AWA in Wisconsin.never forgot that segment for some reason lol
People in Austria know him better for this than his promotion. I remember him being on TV in my early childhood a few times.
He's even a part of the modern scene due to some rotund (and orotund) guy in WWE and his version of "The Cannonball."😏😂🎤🤼♂️B.W.
Ox Baker teaching ballroom dance is like George Steele teaching yoga.
Steele was a pe teacher! If he were coming up today he would have!
Lmfao
@@NickWeissMusic I’ve seen a picture of him in a yearbook- had a polo on with the school name. Looked like he had a sweater on underneath!
@@jonathancarlson6127 haha!
Hearing Jim answer trivia is exactly what i signed up for.
Gordon Solie, the the first voice I ever heard watching GCW as a kid, legend 🙏🏾
Would love to hear Jim in an actual Trivia competition against somebody
Vs unka dave
Spot on Travis with the Gordon Solie thumbnail.......PERFECT !!
In British wrestling from the 60's and 70's the most fearsome person was the old lady knitting in the front row because more often than not the knitting needles ended up stuck into the heels
And not exactly just the bottomside of their feet. Yikes!😏😂😖🎤👵🤼♂️B.W.
Love you Jim, you always make me laugh especially when I am kinda down you kick ass and Brian too! Thanks so much to you both, just as good today as you were in the 80:s..
My grandpa was on the Athletic Commission in New Orleans in early 80’s.. Helped Jyd get out of some trouble..
6:40 "Missy baby it's handsome jimmy" whoo baby
In Austria Otto Wanz‘s „numerical literature“ achievements are still relatively well known among 40y/o and up. Not sure those people know about his wrestling activities.
I kinda wish one of the weekly show Brian and Jim do was purely historical wresting, it’s way more interesting. I know there’s all the old shows covering lots of it but I could listen to old wrestling stuff all day…
I totally agree!
Wahoo played for Houston Oilers, Denver Broncos, NY Jets and Miami Dolphins. Ernie Ladd played for San Diego Chargers, Houston Oilers and Kansas City Chiefs.
What do the following have in common? Dusty Rhodes, Tully Blanchard, Ted DiBiase, Terry Funk, Barry Windham, Stan Hansen, Tito Santana, Manny Fernandez, and technically Dick Murdoch.🤔🎤🐴💎🏈B.W.
And as a bonus what is the Pop Cultural significance of Paul Jones's Birthplace?🤔🎤🤼♂️B.W.
Ernie Ladd played for The AFL Los Angeles Chargers in 1963, the year that The NFL World Champion Chicago Bears categorically refused to play The AFL Champion Chargers to determine who was better.🤔🎤🌩🐻🏈🤼♂️B.W.
@@madbrowniac7871 They all went to West Texas State University
@@madbrowniac7871 No idea
Cornette will forget more wrestling trivia than any of us will ever know.
Ha, finally! I've almost thought about sending my copy of this to Jim & Brian because I thought it would be fun to hear Jim play this thing.
Earnie Ladd played for San Diego then Kansas City.
I remember Gordon hawking this game on a wrestling show.
Do more segments like this. This is very enjoyable.
If this doesn't become a weekly segment WE RIOT.
Or my favorite word for foreign objects: PLUNDER. Or "plunda" if you go fully on Dusty Rhodes, baby.
Ya know, I think making some form of wrestling trivia game would be a good business opportunity for Jim. You could make a mobile app version and can update and expand it over time.
I really enjoyed this segment. Please give us more episodes with trivia.
This was entertaining. Love Jim answering old school stuff. Thanks Jim!
This was a lot of fun. I was really proud of myself for getting some of the less obvious ones right, but about 90 percent of that is due to this podcast in the first place. 😅 Honestly the wrestling history is my favorite thing about this podcast, whether it's in the form of games, questions from listeners, or just Corny and Brian talking. I enjoy it way, way more than the reviews of modern wrestling.
I agree. The way it's going these days and most tv wrestling being crappy this is waaaaay better.
Couldn't agree more, I have been saying the same. Less modern crap wrestling reviews, more history!
This was so entertaining wow! Cornette is the Master
I had so much fun listening to this. This definitely needs to happen more!!
I got Rotunda right, dang. I remember they announced his as being from Syracuse
This was exactly what I was in the mood to listen to and I had no idea until I started listening. Fun stuff.
They should bring this game back.
Segments like this as well as when Brian does the Guess the program 😎
The trivia was great. Hell, I'd listen to Jim Cornette read the damn phonebook for three hours!
From what I'm reading the magazine started in 79, but was giving the awards out in 1972 before the actual magazine.
This was "not unentertaining". I love these and look forward to them. I try to guess as many as I can as Corny. I don't do too bad. Anyways, don't stop doing these kind of segments, keep 'em coming,they're hecka fun!! And looking at the comments I'm not the only one that thinks that. And who woulda guessed Ox Baker moonlighting as a ballroom dancer.💃💃💃
Yes, please! More of this! I quite enjoyed this segment.
8:42 Or as we call them in Canada, Objects
I honestly love that trivia game. I hope they do more of it. Thumbs up!
Now I see Ox Baker making an entrance with Fandangos theme....
Senator Gary Hart of Colorado got "defrocked" twice in the 80's. First in 84 when Mondale asked him "Where's the beef?" and 87' when Hart dared reporters to investigate accusations of infidelity, and they found him having an affair with a girl on a yacht called (I shit you not) "Monkey Business." My dad worked on the first Hart campaign. His job was to entertain Mrs. Hart while Gary was away "on business..."
Got the Sran Hansen one. Hansen broke Brunos neck.
I miss the times when guys like Gordon solie work doing commentary work and everything and made wrestling more real.
This is awesome I have so much fun watching this I got to Unc Chapel Hill .. My friends don’t get this kind of awesomeness so .. this wrestling trivia and skit made me happy man
Sports Review Wrestling did the awards from 72-78
No they didn't, only the 1981 awards. The rest were in the Annuals.
Gordon Soli was The Man...Georgia Championship Wresting and NWA. The psycho fans of the South.
Jim never ceases to amaze me with his historical knowledge of pro wrestling. It's f'n amazing.
did Gordon like to drink Vodka...someone could've made some "Gordon Stoli's"
This was one of my absolute favorite clips from these two. Love hearing wrestling history.
Yall gotta do these more often
Wow That's Was Awesome I Hope They Got The Board Game On Ebay
The Big Cat Ernie Ladd Drafted And Played For The San Diego Chargers Too
Great episode. I hope you do more trivia episodes.
I couldn't even imagine today's generation of wrestlers getting into bar fights. There would be a ton of news stories of wrestlers getting their ass kicked probably.
I don't know man, I could imagine Darby Allin smashing a guy with a pint glass in a bar and then diving off the bar onto him.
This was a Great segment! I Hope to hear more of this game in future episodes. This is by far more interesting and entertaining than reviews of shows I gave up watching Years ago.
The show should have more of THIS
They should make that a reg segment...that was great 👍
Yeah, at least monthly.
Eddie the Lamprey sounds like an inside joke from whoever wrote these.
Love it!
This is the stuff I signed up for ..
Awesome half an hour ..
We need more of these. These are great! Interesting game, seems really fun.
Unlike what last said, I would LOVE to have this be a frequent series. It is really informative and I try to guess the answer too which makes it even more fun. Really hope they continue with this :).
PS: I would LOVE to own that game lol.
I love these. Do more of them.
Apparently, "close" only counts in equestrian devices and hand grenades.
Love the artwork
they used to advertise this on Continental Championship Wrestling every week
Yeah truly you guys, I don't anticipate any show like I anticipate this one.
You just get better and better.
this was an unexpected treat. more of these please
Fun Fact: There is a video with Ox Baker on youtube where he was a contestant in the price is right
Please do stuff like this more!!!
Let's do this again. I like the trivia game.
I am surprised Cornette didn't say old women were more dangerous. At the house shows in the town I grew up in during his Mid-South days, there was some old lady that always sat front row in the same seat and she went after Corney everytime the Midnight wrestled. The JYD vs the Freebirds was huge even before JYD was "blinded". Also, the substance that JYD was "blinded" with was to be used during the hair vs hair match for removal of hair, but Hayes was about to lose so he put the substance in Dog's face.
This is a great segment 👍 Jim's laugh 😁😄😀
love the artwork
12:09 Grant is not buried in Grant's Tomb. He is entombed in it, not buried.
I really wanted to hear the Gordon vinyl..
Listening now at 12:16am, drunk, stoned, and shaving...happiness.
Manscaping?
@@markm734😂
I loved it. Please do more
Love this, thanks
Idk about The Mummys experence, but Mulligan got a bad infection from a knife wound in NYC, I believe.
That happened in summer 1971 at the Boston Garden.
More of this!!!
good fun please keep this going
Awesome segment fellas! 👍
It's not a blacksmith it's a local equestrian facility dammit!- vince mcmahon (probably).
Great segment!
Most underrated manager in history: Captain Lou Klein.
Please do more of this
