Finally. Cornette has COME BACK to classic wrestling!!!!!

These are my favorite! I wish theyd do more of it!

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.

You know you've got best buds when they try to pop your arm pit zit with you. Respect

Dude that blood poison is no joke. Jim you're lucky you lived buddy.

“I’ll get some boiled shrimp.” Not sure why but that made me laugh

"It wasn't his gimmick, it was HIS LIFE" ".... stahp it" 🤭

Nice. Taking a break from hearing about the indie goofs to talk about some real wrestling

I prefer these old school recaps to the new stuff

Can we get a third show where they just talk about old school wrestling for a couple hours?

These are the type of stories that drew me in to the podcast back when Alice was the cohost.

I was actually one of the few at the Rapides Coliseum watching, and booing Jim and the Midnight Express!!!

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.

Realize this: these territory house shows are drawing more ticket sales than aew TV.

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

Why have they not made Jim's storytelling into a movie yet could listen to these stories all day

Jim Cornette’s 1984 Mid South Promo has more views on KZfaq than AEW

It was a bad idea to be taking a sip of water right as Jim said "Bolivian marching powder"

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.

Jim talking about classic wrestling is the absolute best. Please continue with this.........now reminiscing, Thank you Jim and Brian -

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.

Love the classic stuff! Need more!!

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

I needed something to listen to for work tonight. Thanks!

3:34 spent 11 dollars on food THAT DAY?!? that’s wild.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

Thank god these are back!

8 years before I was even born 😮

I love hearing Corny tell these territory tales. Brings back so many memories for this 50 year old kid. Keep up the storytelling Jim! 🤘😀🤘

THESE ARE ALWAYS MY FAVORITE SEGMENTS!!! I still want another agent reports segments.

that hobo bag on a stick is called a stick & bindle

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.😅

Saw this was uploaded for my on the way home from work drive. Perfect

Yes he's back to his classic wrestling stories

This is only the second time I’ve listened to this channel. I’m really digging it! Corbett’s and the Midnight express were my favorite team back in those days.

"Managers license for Arkansas was $15" I can't stop laughing at this scam

George Wingroff wrestled in Dallas a lot. I saw him there and spot shows, I remember one match where he beat Frogman LeBlanc lol

The only reason I check in is for content like this!

The “Dr. Death / Coke” story! 😂😂😂

We need to sprinkle in some guess the program , my two favorite Jim cornette tropes , classic wrestling and guess the program

I’ve been watching a lot of Mid-South Wrestling videos lately on KZfaq. Good stuff.

Sally, from Beaumont says hi.

I'm in Jackson ms. To this day people that were into wrestling back then remember hating that little shit ( cornette) lol

I would love to hear a good tornado story from Cornette while working for Watts or Fritz😂

First live show was the last stampede it only went downhill from there

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!!!

Love these. Also need more guess the programs

That Staph infection story grossed me TF out 😂 bruh hell nah

What I'd give to see Tony Khan or the Young Duds tarred and feathered... Hilarious!

Some footage from Magnum TA getting tarred and feathered is on KZfaq, and you can see Corny trying to find a comfortable position to keep his arm from touching the side of his body.

Jim talking about something that happened five years before I was born is way more interesting than anything in 2024

That drafts kings lead in was fucking outrageous. Lol

My first live wrestling match was at Barton Coliseum in Little Rock.

This is what I want from JC. Stories from the territory days . Fascinating

TOTAL RECALL- i cant even remember 40 mins ago 😀

Cornette and Condry got their lives saved by the RnR Express on my 9th birthday! Woot woot!

I really didn't need that staph infection story while I was eating breakfast.

Love these segments!

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.

love hearing all these stories about the history of wrestling. always so interesting.

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.

I can't tell you how much I love when Cornette talks his stories. F AEW/WWE

"Aww fuck it I'll tell it almost everybody's gone" music to my ears 😊

That was such a rough territory to travel they say. But they had to have alot of great memories from it

Mr. Cornette, I'm seeing an overwhelmingly positive response about this video... and i agree... this is some quality content! ❤

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

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've always wanted to ask Jim about something.....wouldn't Draino in a water gun corrode the plastic?

Jim was in the death pool before Deadpool LOL

Greatest wrestling podcast of all time. Greatest duo in the history of wrestling podcasts. Corny and Brian. Doesn't get any better.

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.

Waited month for this!!!!!

Feels like I've definitely heard this stuff already

Only 24 but I love listening to Jim talk about the old wrestling

I was fresh out the oven in Jan. 84😮

Ernie Ladd is the Fats Domino to Jim Cornette's Elvis Presley. Bill Watts is the Leonard Chess.

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.

I love the schedule review episodes

His gimmick is blindness 😳 😂

Dr. Death on coke must have been scary

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 was born in 87 but this is way better than Wednesday night aew 😅

Why can't Cornett be in WWE as a special guest commentator just once or twice?

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.

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

This should be a class all wrestlers should be required to take before getting in the ring on a primetime TV program.

Love these.

T.H. Barton Coliseum. In Little Rock, Ark

4 months before I was born. I always knew I was born in the wrong era 😅

1983 in Oklahoma City I was 2 years old ❤😂❤

I've felt like i've heard this before, especially the Dr. Death story about 50 minutes in

This is the good stuff.

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.

Jim cornette looks back at 1983/84 omnibus perhaps??
