When old women stopped being front row at wrestling events, I knew the business was dead. God bless them grannies!!!

I've always loved Freddie Blassie's story about an old lady yelling and swearing at him. So Freddie yelled at her "Ma, go home!"

The old ladies dropping f-bombs when the heels were beating the baby-faces was my favorite part of watching live shows in Puerto Rico when I was a kid. Good times.

There's alot going on in this Artwork😂

Got to admit I wasn't expecting Bruce Hornsby and Mariah Carey to be mentioned when I clicked on

My grandmother was one of those ladies back in the 70's in the AwA

My great aunt used to have the boys stay at her house while in Detroit. They loved her like a mother. My dad has cool memories of meeting those legends as a kid. She knew the lower guys needed a place to stay as they got paid diddly. So she let them stay with her for a place to stay on the road with a hot meal. They loved her for that.. Called her mother.

My Grandma went to the Portland Sports Area more than I did back in the day. RIP Portland wrestling & Grandma.

My father used to tell me stories about my great grandmother, my moms grandmother being a rabid wrestling fan. She was a nut for the heels though.

It's David Hornsby on It's Always Sunny, but he's cousins with Bruce Hornsby.

I'd be scared of old fans as well if they looked like the kid from the Exorcist

'Fish meat face" what a hilarious nickname 🤣🤣🤣

😂😂 Jim's impersonations 😂 @6:29

LOL my great-grandma once beat the hell out of Freddie Blassie with her cane when he was going to the ring

Lmao, Olive Oil though. Reminds me of watching old Popeye cartoons as a kid.

The good ol' times, now Fans like everything and get upset when someone is mean

If we had sent a battalion of old lady wrestling fans to Vietnam we would have won

My dad always tells me about a story of my great grandma throwing a cup of dip at Nikita Koloff.

Most WCW fans will remember Bouncing Buelah as the old woman who tried to slap Hollywood Hogan who now says he regrets not letting her hit him. It WAS real to her including having faces over to dinner at her house.

Just wanted to say that Bruce Hornsby was one of the best concerts I've ever attended.

Jim is thinking of David Hornsby, aka Rickety Cricket. 😂

Don't forget hat pin Annie. She would jab the heels with that damn bigass hat pin.

Rasslin' grannys were always the coolest grandma's to have!

That artwork is a piece of genius for this subject matter!

My grandmother bragged about spitting in Sputnik Monroe's face at a match in Shreveport. I think that he had called her a bit(h.

My father had a female neighbor who was about 6’2” and probably 110 pounds, and I used to call her Olive Oyl 😆.

Lol Jim probably had relations with Olive Oyl

David Hornsby. He also play "the Hutch" on the Joe Schmo Show.

Man if it’s one thing that scares the shit out of me to this day, it’s Linda Blair in The Exorcist.

Bruce Hornsby did however sit in with the Grateful Dead.

The Bruce Hornsby story could've had its own clip.

Best Thumbnail for Corny Awards: This one! Haha Other nominees include "Pockets" as the sloth, "Mime J.R." any of the cross-eyed Matt Hardy thumbs, and the Young Bucks as frogs.

Bruce Hornsby and the Range are fucking tremendous.

Andy Lack eff'd Hall and Oats? I can't go for that!

This clip is worth it just for the Bruce Hornsby story!

David Hornsby is a writer for Sunny and plays Rickety Cricket. Bruce Hornsby is his cousin.

Indy Wrestling Grandmas are a national treasure.

She's a stunt granny!

thanks for the smile this morning

It's all about that mid 70's to mid 80's bush you could push!

The Olympic Auditorium had its "Ringside Rosie," an elderly black woman who sat up front and waved a rubber chicken around. She was known as "Miss Olympic" and attended the wrestling and roller derby matches.

I remember going to The Township Auditorium in Columbia, SC in 1995 and 1996 and there was this old lady always in the front row, not sure if that’s the same lady from the 1980’s, that used to hate Ric Flair. Her and Flair use to get into every show lol. Flair come out the ring just to argue with her, and she slapped him then he does his belly flop drop lol...

I think I have found my new favorite thumbnail. 😆😆😆😆

We had one at MSG back in the late 70's. One match she hit Muraco with her bag several times.

3:40 to 3:48 Hahaha!! I almost spit out my coffee at this. Comedy gold.

rickety cricket from its always sunny in Philadelphia is named David Hornsby brother to Bruce Hornsby

The Language from the Old Lady Fans at the Old Maple leaf Gardens in Toronto 70s early 80s was something

Background looks like a death metal logo

During the Studio Wrestling days at Channel 11 in Pittsburgh there was a lady Anna Buckalew who was known to everyone as Ringside Rosie

Is Cornette confusing Bruce Hornsby with David Hornsby (It's Always Sunny...)?

Mrs Pocketbook from Massachusetts. She was an old lady who would hit heals with her pocketbook at this old arena named Jack Witchi's in North Attleboro, Mass. The wwwf used to have events there until Vince took over.

As a kid...I went to those matches in columbia sc at the township auditorium and I remember the old lady who always talked shit to certain wrestlers...she hated lex luger!!! I think that's who Jim is talking about...

Jim trying to sing changes🤣🤣🤣😂

One time for my hometown of Charleston SC

"when you'd ask how he was doin'.... he'd tell ya" Corny still got it.

I've seen Olive Oyl there a few times and she always sat on the right side (Section A), in the center of the front row. At a WCW house show at the Township Auditorium on March 2, 1996, the American Males brought out a birthday cake for her before the matches started. When the American Males fought The Blue Bloods later that night, I remember one of the faces held Squire David Taylor and she slapped him. Having been somewhat of a wresting aficionado at the time, I was stumped because I had no idea who she was until Columbia's, The State newspaper ran an article that featured her. I can't find the article but the things that stood out when I read it were, she had been attending NWA/WCW (only) events there and at other venues for about 25 years and her favorite wrestler was Ricky Steamboat. Since she was diehard NWA/WCW, it shocked me when the original ECW held an event there and she showed up with an EC F'n W shirt on.

oh man the descriptions and labels.

Everytime I hear the name Tommy Matola I instantly hear Micheal Jacksons voice. Tommy Matola is a devilish.

6:34 😂

Class loved that music story from Brian. That's legit what would go on when an exec would come along. Just have to hold your frame, be yourself and not be fazed by the suit and stuff haha.

Gargling so many razor blades 😂😂

4:53😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Hey Corni, how bout the old lady that always raised hell in the Coliseum in Memphis back in the 80s? Seemed she was always at ringside raising hell and screaming while Lance hammered on the bell.

There was an older lady who sat in the same seat every week at Memphis Mid-south Collisium for wrestling. Jerry Lawler had her on his talk show one week...I thought that was very classy of him.

I LOVE the little old lady stories! Growing up in Dayton Ohio in the 80s we still had one. She didn't really look that old - just middle aged. But she was probably in her 60s. But she was ALWAYS at Hara Arena - from the first match I ever saw there in 1988 till she died some time in the early 90s. I remember seeing in the front row when I was in the upper deck. Then when I was able to get front and second row tickets got to speak with her. She even gave me a bunch of old photos she'd taken over the years of all the matches for years before. I presume she had been going there forever. I cannot even remember her name - I wish I could. She didn't have a nickname that I knew, but she was always screaming at the heels and would jaw jack with them. She was so nice to me and I sad when she died. So these stories always bring her to my memory.

Is there anyway to get footage of matches where "Fishmeat Face" was ringside ?

Sunny has a David Hornsby (Ricketty Cricket) not Bruce Hornsby, unless they have both. But David Hornsby is the name that's always up there.

I've been watching old school WWF wrestling from MSG, and there is this little old lady that I think sat front row, that would ALWAYS give the heel a piece of her mind. There's even one where she goes after Superstar Billy Graham and starts hitting him. 😂

6:30 Oh man that cracked me up so badly >

I remember in Greenville SC one time one old lady was hollering at Two Ton Harris in a match he finally turned to he and said that if she didn’t stop he wouldn’t take her the movies no more. It was hilarious. She shut up after that.

this image is incredible.

2:44 You're welcome

Was Sapphire not basically an old-ish lady fan that they turned into a wrestler (using the term loosely)?

Fun fact Bruce Hornsbys son Keith Hornsby played basketball at LSU and won a game at Arkansas on a 3 pointer so us LSU fans says to the hog fans that’s just the way it is lol. Bruce went to all of Keith’s games at the pmac in Baton Rouge

That artwork

Bruce hornsby reminds me of the movie Worlds Greatest Das

So Brian went from being a Sony Music executive to doing wrestling podcasts with Jim Cornette. Not sure who made a bigger career change, him or Bart Gunn who went back to being an electrician.

Who was the fake hogan who would be in front row dressed as hogan in many many wrestling shows???.... He even went HOLLYWOOD for NWO Hogan..... Who was that man?....

I never liked Jim, but I can't stop listening to his podcast.

Mark my words.... Jim will be one of them Marked out grannys in the front row before this wrasslin is all over wit....

There was this little old lady right next to me If she was a day, she was eighty-three But she raised more sand than any man I'd ever seen Well she screamed and cussed in the Cyclone's face Till they carried her out like a basket case

whenever jim tells these stories, I imagine a really big, old farm woman with curley hair. I see her chasing around Mr. Cornette with an umbrella, smacking him and saying 'You are bad man, you mama's boy...a BAD, BAD MAN! You're mother should be ashamed of you!" pro wrestling is awesome

Jim..Thats David Hornsby

Does anyone remember the lady in the front row with the megaphone at (I think) the first Royal Rumble? Annoying af 😂

What is "a thing AEW will never have"?

Now fan boys dream about being ringside Rosie's! How sad!

So weeks ago I was checking out the Old School collection on the Network and decided to find the oldest show which was from 1973. Lo and behold I found out about this legendary fan named Mrs Krieger. The announcers acknowledge her and she's even allowed to get right up to the ring. For example she swept away Professor Tanaka's salt with her hand. www.keepingkayfabe.com/georgette-krieger-little-old-lady-ringside/

Gold! 😂😂😂😂😂

My cat is named after the girl from posession Reagan

People need an emotional release every once in a while. Professional wrestling, before everyone had cell phone cameras, was one way people could vent. If you really wanted to scream at your boss during the day, then you could go after work to the match and scream at the heels. But these days, any time you’re out in public, there’s a good chance that if you try to scream like that you’d be on KZfaq. And so it all stays bottled up.

Sounds like the types of fans who believed everything was real - she would have hated Manager Cornette the heel

Lol

Great story, Brian...🙄

Cornette is thinking of david hornsby aka cricket

6:30 listen to this with your eyes closed

It's David Hornsby and he writes the show as well and plays 'Rickety Cricket'. I actually feel sorry for Cricket, as Dee really turned him out.

Sooooo it was the Butcher and the Blade's mom ???

I was eating a fruit bar and spit it out laughing at the Bruce Hornsby story.

Way she goes bud

my grandpas stepsister tried to jump outta car & attack mario galento during a sunday ride, thankfully she was held back
