Finally. Cornette has COME BACK to classic wrestling!!!!!
Doesn't draw the "reaction" crowd though.
@lbo87 I get that, but I like this content also.
@@lbo87 And?
Don't forget that cornette is responsible for the worst wwf years ever
@@kevinbbadd you loved it, don't lie.
Cornette calling a kid being blind a “gimmick” is as funny as ric flair telling that restaurant owner that he’s been “putting the place over” lmao
😂
"I can at least try to match Ringo."
Jim, you're closer to Yoko Ono than Ringo.
Nice. Taking a break from hearing about the indie goofs to talk about some real wrestling
I completely agree....but, reading this comment all I can think of is the wrestling coach from South Park
@@davidkelling159 wtf is this?? (Cartman voice)
@@davidkelling159 “look look, this is wrestling, this”
💯💯💯
It doesn't matter what subject Corny wants to discuss, because it's all worth listening to.
These are my favorite! I wish theyd do more of it!
And why do you think Clinton lives there!
Can we get a third show where they just talk about old school wrestling for a couple hours?
I prefer these old school recaps to the new stuff
Honestly, anytime Bobby Heenan gets mentioned I'm happy.
Same. Not even close for me.
@@justinmeaderI will pop every single time he is mentioned.
@kyleshertz2277 you pop?
This is the good stuff. I'm pretty burned out on the AEW reviews because the show itself has become boring and uninteresting. Never thought I'd say that the acid fever dream shitshow that Dynamite has been for so long would become completely boring, but here we are. I find the WWE reviews 'to be slightly more interesting because I enjoy those shows somewhat. I'm really hrilled though when we get stuff like the clip a few months back where Cornette talked about the first few years of Lawler's career, Guess the Program, or this type of content where we hear about his cateet
Jim Cornette’s 1984 Mid South Promo has more views on CZcams than AEW
"It wasn't his gimmick, it was HIS LIFE"
".... stahp it" 🤭
You know you've got best buds when they try to pop your arm pit zit with you. Respect
These are the type of stories that drew me in to the podcast back when Alice was the cohost.
Whatever happened to her?
I haven't seen or heard from her in years.
For sure. She had a sexy voice, if I'm remembering properly...
@@SlimSlashieI’m glad I’m not the only one who thought that.
Even Cormy couldn’t get her over.
“I’ll get some boiled shrimp.” Not sure why but that made me laugh
I was actually one of the few at the Rapides Coliseum watching, and booing Jim and the Midnight Express!!!
Realize this: these territory house shows are drawing more ticket sales than aew TV.
Why have they not made Jim's storytelling into a movie yet could listen to these stories all day
Far less people care about this than the AEW talk sadly. Not sure why everyone is such a mark for hearing about that company.
@@edwells4769 like ATM Eric said, controversy creates cash.
It's called a bindle, your belongings on the end of a stick.
A road trip with a coked up, paranoid Dr. Death? No thanks 😂
This and the 83 schedule from last year is what we need a playlist/omnibus of in chronological order Great Brian Last
Jim talking about classic wrestling is the absolute best. Please continue with this.........now reminiscing, Thank you Jim and Brian -
Putting Drano in water guns and trying to squirt Skandor Akbar in the eyes. Looking back to a time before kayfabe got exposed and before everybody sitting on a computer started thinking they are in the biz, it's like another planet. Might as well be 500 years ago.
Had a staph infection in my armpit just like that once. Most painful thing I’ve ever felt. They drained it at urgent care and I was on antibiotics and had to use an antiseptic skin cleanser when I showered for a full month. I still have an indent in my skin there where the abscess formed.
It was a bad idea to be taking a sip of water right as Jim said "Bolivian marching powder"
I love these recaps of events that happened during this time. I was just getting into wrestling as a 4-5 year old, and conjures a lot of nostalgia.
I hope Jim brings back Name The Program
Love the classic stuff! Need more!!
Almost 90 Minutes of Cornette talking about his Territory Days in Pro Wrestling is the perfect thing to listen to in a dark room when dealing with a migraine at 4am.
I'm really enjoying these mid-south videos keep them coming i love it when jim and brian talk about old school wrestling especially since i wasn't born yet.
Vince McMahon was not the only visionary of making pro wrestling main stream. Bill Watts had that vision too with starting with Louisiana & Mississippi then adding Arkansas and Oklahoma then Paul Bosch’s Houston territory then invading DFW before the oil bust began and that was it .
8 years before I was even born 😮
God, I'm old. 😂
16 years before I was born
I was 10 in 84 lol 😂
6 years before I was born. And we’re getting up there lol
@@alphatoddioI was 8 so I’m right there with ya lol
I listen to about 16 minutes of this before I looked at the episode number and realized how old it was. I've heard it before I think I'll listen to it again anyway.
3:34 spent 11 dollars on food THAT DAY?!? that’s wild.
That's $33 in 2024
Thank god these are back!
Dude that blood poison is no joke. Jim you're lucky you lived buddy.
I needed something to listen to for work tonight. Thanks!
As a Louisiana boy, I LOVE this series. I live right down the road from a few of these towns and been to all of em.
THESE ARE ALWAYS MY FAVORITE SEGMENTS!!! I still want another agent reports segments.
that hobo bag on a stick is called a stick & bindle
Saw this was uploaded for my on the way home from work drive. Perfect
I did the same!
I’m not the only one lol
Yes he's back to his classic wrestling stories
I can't tell you how much I love when Cornette talks his stories. F AEW/WWE
That Staph infection story grossed me TF out 😂 bruh hell nah
Sally, from Beaumont says hi.
Jim talking about something that happened five years before I was born is way more interesting than anything in 2024
TOTAL RECALL- i cant even remember 40 mins ago 😀
Yeah how the hell does he remember all of this.
I know he kept a journals and records but Corny is like an elephant.
The only reason I check in is for content like this!
The “Dr. Death / Coke” story! 😂😂😂
I would love to hear a good tornado story from Cornette while working for Watts or Fritz😂
What I'd give to see Tony Khan or the Young Duds tarred and feathered... Hilarious!
Cornette and Condry got their lives saved by the RnR Express on my 9th birthday! Woot woot!
First live show was the last stampede it only went downhill from there
I love these "deep dives" stories Jim does. It gives wrestling fans (new or old) a perspective from Jim's experience with how the territory was run and the pay offs etc etc. Really interesting stories.
This is what I want from JC. Stories from the territory days . Fascinating
Jim was in the death pool before Deadpool LOL
George Wingroff wrestled in Dallas a lot. I saw him there and spot shows, I remember one match where he beat Frogman LeBlanc lol
Some footage from Magnum TA getting tarred and feathered is on CZcams, and you can see Corny trying to find a comfortable position to keep his arm from touching the side of his body.
love hearing all these stories about the history of wrestling. always so interesting.
Only 24 but I love listening to Jim talk about the old wrestling
Good man ... pro wrestling history is greatest of any sport/ entertainment. I'm 50...used to watch corny since 85 in wccw. Met him once at a show I wrestled on in 2007.
same here, prefer hearing about the old days
Growing up in Crockett territory, I was mostly a fan of the heels, with a few exceptions, but man I remember the heat the heels had and tons of girls screaming for the babyfaces. Hearing Jim tell these stories really takes me back.
Mr. Cornette, I'm seeing an overwhelmingly positive response about this video... and i agree... this is some quality content! ❤
Greatest wrestling podcast of all time. Greatest duo in the history of wrestling podcasts. Corny and Brian. Doesn't get any better.
I'm in Jackson ms. To this day people that were into wrestling back then remember hating that little shit ( cornette) lol
Why can't Cornett be in WWE as a special guest commentator just once or twice?
Short answer: JC doesn't want to and while I think WWE could get behind the idea, they're dealing with too many controversial scandals at the moment that taking a chance that the IWC trolls start rallying antiJC venom isnt worth the risk
He doesn't want to leave the house.
We need to sprinkle in some guess the program , my two favorite Jim cornette tropes , classic wrestling and guess the program
I really didn't need that staph infection story while I was eating breakfast.
ikr, i wasn't even eating and that made me sick lol
That drafts kings lead in was fucking outrageous. Lol
52:13 Corny flubbing Fergie’s name twice in a row made me laugh probably more than I should’ve. It feels like the JC version of Vikingo trying a top rope backflip three times before getting it.😅
"Aww fuck it I'll tell it almost everybody's gone" music to my ears 😊
Love these segments!
These comments prove how popular & needed this is! For all that prefer this side of the podcast, it's simple: stop asking stupid questions about Orange Cassidy & Moxley!!!
I've always wanted to ask Jim about something.....wouldn't Draino in a water gun corrode the plastic?
No, because it's made for plastic pipes.
@@BrianCB1972 And sold in plastic bottles...
@positively_broad_st3780 stupid on my part. Lol. I was thinking maybe the 1984 version was more caustic than what we have today and packaged differently.
@@positively_broad_st3780 Even water will corrode plastic bottles given enough time. That's why they have expiration dates on them.
Now, if
Ernie Ladd is the Fats Domino to Jim Cornette's Elvis Presley. Bill Watts is the Leonard Chess.
For the record, I'm legally blind. I tell people this after knowing them for a while and they are surprised. And, sometimes even my wife and kids need to be reminded when I'm asked to do stuff that is too difficult for me to see and I get mad and remind them. I only mention this to say that I laughed at what you said about it. Why? Because I'm not a soft little shit who takes offense at everything. People need to know how to laugh at themselves as well as others. That's how life works.
I’ve been watching a lot of Mid-South Wrestling videos lately on CZcams. Good stuff.
His gimmick is blindness 😳 😂
I was fresh out the oven in Jan. 84😮
Since it’s where I’m from, I always get a kick out of hearing Jim talk about Little Rock. It’s also pretty cool to hear him talk about Barton Coliseum, considering the fact that my college graduation ceremony was there this past Saturday. I couldn’t stop thinking about all the old school wrestling that used to happen right where I was sitting. It was pretty cool.
I was born in 87 but this is way better than Wednesday night aew 😅
Love these. Also need more guess the programs
My first live wrestling match was at Barton Coliseum in Little Rock.
I remember discovering Mid-South on the TV as young lad. Legit tough guys beating on each other. First wrestler I ever witness have a finisher was Jake the Snake & The DDT. Midnight Express vs Rock n Roll on a scaffold match.
This is refreshing. Im bored of the modern reviews of the shows now
There's so many similarities between wrestlers and ironworkers.
Both travel to small territories, sometimes out of state.
Ironworkers have to deal with new contractors like bookers. And after a short training period, you better be able to pull your weight or you'll get run off.
Both have the opportunity to make hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Both have larger than life stories of the strongest, toughest men you've ever known.
Both have stories for days on women, booze and drugs.
Both are dangerous. Both have a somewhat brotherhood.
Obviously there's no TV or promos in real life. In my mind, ironworkers are like the pro wrestlers of the real world.
Yo, this strain has my brain hummin', dawg.
Love these.
I’m from bunkie and went to the matches at the Rapides parish coliseum. My first match was when I was 2 and the missing link came in the crowd and scared me I ran away and my pawpaw had to bring me to the car
This is the good stuff.
Waited month for this!!!!!
Another one I went in 96 for my birthday and Sean Walt men came out to kung fu fighting and Scott hall came out to the Fugees ready or not.
Feels like I've definitely heard this stuff already
Every time I hear Jim talk about Louisiana the more I realize y wwe never really comes here cause ain’t nothing change in 40 years
But the casinos are fun!
Draino to the eyes, jeezus
1983 in Oklahoma City I was 2 years old ❤😂❤
Another thing I remember is during the sting cactus Jack lights out match jack was getting heat on sting and he stood in the middle of the ring and hogged the biggest loogy in the air and caught it in his mouth then sting made his comeback.
I love the schedule review episodes
Jim cornette looks back at 1983/84 omnibus perhaps??
Lets be honest this is the info we need
4 months before I was born. I always knew I was born in the wrong era 😅
This the shit I love
These are going to make a great Omnibus
Epic story telling by Jim.
1:25:54 that guy's a legend.
Jesus Christ finally! So bored of them talking about AEW every second, I almost forgot Jim was a manager!
