Listening to corny recap wrestling history from almost 40 years ago always makes grateful that we have him with us everyday.

I would rather listen to stories like this all day long then to listen to the current state of wrestling, love the old school stories thanks Jim

Jim breaks it down so perfectly & sometimes, seemingly, second by second also. Such a great historian & absolute true student to his craft. There's a few who look back to the past like Jim Ross, Tony Shiavone & Dutch Mantell on the respective podcasts, but, nobody does it perfectly like Jim Cornette. Thank you Mr. Cornette for enlightening us & thank you Mr. Last for additional questions & uploading these podcasts. 🙏🏻

The best story telling on KZfaq

Another day going back 40 years with Jim Cornette blessed and cursed to see all from 1980-Now

You know, the Midnight Express origin story would make a great movie. If someone could partner with Corny to write the screenplay

It’s always interesting listening to Jim talk about the old days of wrestling.

Thank you for presenting more territory segments lately, it is truly appreciated.

Jim Cornette’s Love for Jerry the ‘King’ Lawler and the ‘Nature Boy’ Ric Flair is Admirable

You know if you were in the business in the 80’s, Jim had to be fun AF to be around.

always a treat to hear jim talk about classic wrestling

This was fantastic, please keep these coming

always love these segments because modern wrestling fans have absolutely zero idea what he's talking about

I went to all of your dark matches in Little Rock in 1983.

My question is what ever happened to Jerry Calhoun, did he have a day job and referee on the side? Carl Fergie grew up behind my grandfather’s house, his parents rented a house/barn from my grandfather and the house was by the barn lot so he was out there with the animals.

I think Jim gifts us with these podcast to strengthen his cognitive resilience. Thank you so much for your continuing contributions to my entertainment and education.

More territory topics. Crazy that i can remember some of the storylines and odd/end wrestlers in Memphis at the time. Great show.

I love picturing " I blew up watching dundee act out the finishes" . Also, this is the first time in 30 years I've heard why Norvell wasn't included in the mid south midnight express. I wonder what kind of a grudge he holds.

I was born in November of '83 so this is like a wrestling time capsule for me

Love these throwbacks it’s what drew me to Jim in the beginning.

I love these old stories. Keep them coming Cornie!.

Crazy to know he worked in Princeton Indiana.

Scott Shannon wrestled? Didn't know that. I got a tree on my house!!!

Scott Shannon was Scott McGhee with a name change. Don’t know why they changed his name.

Man. A fucking tv-show about Jim Cornette's experiences and shit. Just saying Jim, this could be big. I don't think I've ever seen a movie or tv-show about the wrestling business. Like this is the best time to do it since everything's already exposed.

My favorite series on KZfaq

I'm glad they're posting more classic wrestling talk. Weekly videos on AEW ratings get fucking boring and repetitive

I wasn't even one when all this happened, and despite growing up in Statesville, NC, I knew only of WWF. I always love hearing these stories about all the wrestling I knew nothing about until I was in my teens and it was only distant history.

Yes classic stuff👏

I can understand JC's loyalty to Watts even today...he took a young unproven manager that was barely surviving as the 2nd heel mgr in Memphis and gave him a shot to earn real money

I feel old I was 8 months old when you were doing this schedule

It blows my mind that Jim drove hundreds of miles to make 50 bucks lol but then again I guess $50 went a lot further back then.

Lawler looks like Bob Pinciotti in this

1983 better times

I absolutely adore these stories from the 70s and 80s. Especially the territory days prior to Vince Jr going national and JCP basically funding Wrestlemania which would prove to be the beginning of the end for the NWA as a whole

Andy Kaufman used to kick those women’s asses 😂😂 RIP

Keep these coming thanks guys lol

7:20 I didn't realize US Steel on The Venture Bros was based on a real wrestler 🤣

Reports are that MJF has got backstage Heat and multiple wrestlers are not happy with him💀💀 AEW really attempting a self destruct speedrun. MJF goes to WWE and AEW is absolutely dead

I had no idea rick rude was in mud south.

Lawler couldnt draw a dime apparently

I live for this stuff. It's just so incredible 👌

Please stop reviewing AEW evvery weeknfor your health as well as ours! More of this please.

I mean that's pretty impressive and that tells me a lot when territories are running a and b shows business was definitely good.. I think it's yes it would take some time but you can bring fans back around pick up new or younger fans and definitely have a good strong territory today.. as long as you can get it on TV or streaming apps today .. trust me I wish they could hit a rest button retrain the talent on how to get over my goodness make wrestling holds moves matter more they need to get out of the business of having to hit your finishing move 30 times once or twice is fine lol

How long do Bill Watts run his Territory for

Tony Khan could use Jerry Lawler. Just assign him the task of training wrestlers. Guys under contract who need help and whoever else who might come to Lawler.

Keep doing these please

Why does Jerry have a chest full of Sharpie?

I love hearing this stuff. Even though he speaks badly and taunts us folk that voted for orange man, I still love him and his stories!

MFJ is not enough to hold the audience at AEW, I don't think MJF would be or get any better at WWE. He's great for AEW, but I think that's the best he'll be/get plus there are way better guys at WWE at the moment so I don't know where he fits in. PS: Jai White is not 220lbs he has no size to him, he looks like a feather weight, he must weigh around 175lbs-185lbs at best!... What a joke!

Good timing as I'm here right away. Will take this opportunity to say I love cornette and he's a wrestling genius. But his politics suck lol Imo MSM ( Fox too - I'm equal opportunity hater ) are like old 70s wrestling. Built to play on emotions to 😵‍💫 as opposed to fill seats for the house show. Cornette is still 😵‍💫 by it all He's like one of the last wave guys who believed wrestling was fully legit and would get angry if someone said otherwise. But with the NEWS instead of NWA wrestling. MSM makes Trump to be a hated heel And Biden etc to be the Babyface And cornette is a huge Demo-Maniac!! Lol If you think I'm stupid to make the comparison ... Maybe I am but remember that Ted Turner who built his whole empire on Wrestling ... He also began CNN and cable news. Coincidence??? -EDIT- Also ... It cracks me up that JC can spot (correctly imo) George Scott slipping into the Alzheimer's fog when he came to book WCW in late 80's and he has obviously come to that conclusion after a good amount of thought on the matter. Joe Biden .... 🦗*Crickets* 🦗 I think just a blind spot but still I lol when he breaks down the argument for Scott and how in depth it is.

Milk it

Yea you've lost it if you think fans are gonna lissen to you blab about the MID 80'S SCHEDULE YOU DID!! Talk relevent ONLY 👇🏼😤
