@@tempestfennac9687 I worked at WCW (promotions) and traveled with the boys. What Jim did not touch on was the type of rent a car you drove. A Cadillac or Lincoln was comfy and a smooth ride. A van was roomy. Where it sucked was a smaller sedan or economy size vehicle. Eating on the road became better in the 90s and in larger cities. The hard part was locating a gym and one that would allow you to work out, especially in small towns. Laundry was the biggest bitch. Jimmy never went to the gym. His mouth was his muscle.

Being born and raised in Spartanburg I found the first seven minutes to be nostalgic. I was only about 7 or 8 but I remember sitting front row with my grandfather at many of those events. My grandfather was a regular and the ring boys would allow to me to play in the ring after the events. I had the privilege of meeting so many superstars but I remember Wahoo especially. Paw Paw would get me out of school and say that we were going to see the Wrasslin tonight. Those were the f*ckin days!

Going through that kind of schedule is proof that he and majority of these Wrestlers loved the business. Much respect for all they went through/ go through to entertain us!

@@TheNotbadphonedaddy Yeah, it was a funny one, I think it's because I grew up during the attitude era, I was born in 87 so I was about 15 when attitude era ended, but you see all the wrestlers roided to the 9s, & even the smaller ones were generally actually in very good shape, like when you consider the fact that Shawn Michaels & Bret Hart are both considered small wrestlers, yet theyre both about 6 foot 2 & 100kg a piece, then you see the midnight express vs the rock & roll, & Ricky Morton legit looks like a cross between Rod Stewart & a gay uncle that noone really likes but have to invite to things out of family loyalty, Robbie Gibson looks like he couldn't fight his way out of an open door, Dennis looks like a wild West 1880s drunk who probably pronounces gym like Homer Simpson, Bobby Eaton is the only one out of the 4 that has any legitimacy in so far as a tough guy image, but to be honest, I think that's mostly because of the other 3.. but they were all great wrestlers, had a rivalry that'll go down in the annals of time & will be talked about as long as wrestling exists, but they just don't look like 'fighting men' compared to the WWE meatheads. Just going off images though, I wouldn't feel even slightly intimidated by Ricky, Robbie or Dennis, & Bobby Eaton would have me worried but not enough to make me run for my life. If someone like John Cena or Randy Orton was giving me the evil eyes, I'd be shitting myself.

@@stevelowe2647 - I see what you're saying. I do know a bit about there histories. Gibson was a boxer & had a legit left hook that would floor anyone. While he didn't train much, the guy could punch. Ricky on the other hand was not a fighter at all. Neither was Dennis. Bobby wasn't either, but Bobby did occasionally hit the gym. Cena alone would suck to fight because he's so freakishly strong. People don't think strength means that much until they are grabbed by a strong person & realize there's not much they can do. Orton has an amateur wrestling background. Pretty tough.

He's a very anal person, he keeps records of everything, he legit probably has receipts for petrol from 1988, when he wasn't driving or intentionally making Bobby Eaton throw up, he spent the time on the road making notes on all details. He actually failed a how well do you know Jim Cornette quiz, which all the answers were correct because Brian checked them all, with his encyclopaedic knowledge & all his resources, but because Jim didn't have his notes, he only got something like 2 or 3 out of 10

I always wondered how they’d keep their sanity intact. I attended a lot of WWF/WWE shows in the 90’s when they’d come to my hometown of Chicago, IL. I’d go to the hotel’s some of the talent stayed at and naturally they’d be at the hotel bar unwinding. If I was lucky I’d sneak in to the bar for an autograph as I was still a teenager at the time. Getting down to it I once saw Dustin Runnels (Goldust) doing shots as he was in tears over something, visibly upset. Same with Shawn Michaels also. I can imagine that being away from family, missing your spouse and or kid’s can just take its toll unless your strong mentally. I understand why so many talent became hooked on drugs and alcohol. The wrestling business didn’t seem very good to be in 20-30 year’s ago for somebody with a spouse and family. A lot of temptation and demons back in that time. Now they’re all going on TikTok and whatnot more and being like big kid’s instead of getting hooked on drug’s and alcohol. Then again WWE claims to have a strict Wellness Policy in place so if it wasn’t for that I sort of believe the old shit would be still happening.

The behind-the-scenes guys must have never seen a bed with that schedule.

I saw a Big time wrestling event there (Jim was there) about 5 years ago. Holy Shit! It was like going back in time to the 80s. An old lady tried to fight the gay heel. Another drunk guy tried to climb the guard rail and got hauled off by the cops. The "it's still real to me dammit" guy was there. Two 20 year old guys were in front of us. They didn't know who he was. I explained to them who he was and I mentioned it was on KZfaq. They had no idea what KZfaq was!! It was surreal.

I can believe it about having hardly any room to breathe concerning the lack of dressing room space. Years after the days following WCW/GCW touring days were over, I was delivering pallets to what is now known as the Dow Event Center in Saginaw. I asked if I could use the men's room near the stage entrance way. I couldn't believe how small the damn locker room, not rooms, WAS ! Holy shit ! Unreal !

Not everyday i see sagnasty mentioned. Basically grew up there as it was the only large city nearby. Hearing Jim call it where you would insert the hose to give Michigan an enema was funny and a little anger inducing

This reminds me of my week when I had to go ninety miles each way to school in Brecksville,Ohio from my home in Westlake Ohio and then when I moved to Texas, I had to be picked up to go sixty miles round trip to high school in Houston by the Galleria from my home here in Spring. I would have to get up at five in the morning or six in the morning to catch the bus that picked me up between seven and seven thirty in the morning or car pool before my school in Ohio had bus service. I don't think wrestlers of today get what it was like to hold a schedule like yours where ninety percent of your time is in a car or a bus.

My dad was a wrestler during the late 70’s-1991. The same stories Jim is taking about. I heard these stories all the time. My dad knew all those guys. My dad wrestled in damn near all the territories. He told me it’s weeks he count make 600-700 a week. Some weeks you might just make 100-150 a week. He told me some times promoters. Just wouldn’t pay you lol. By the way he couldn’t stand Jerry lawler

Jim didn't mention it but Amarillo wasn't the only promotion making the Odessa/Midland run. Southwest Championship Wrestling(Joe Blanchard) ran shows every other week, World Class ran once a month, twice if business was good. And on the rate occasion, the Guerrero's would come in from El Paso over every other month but they had their shows in a completely different venue than the other three promotions. If you know anything about Texas, then you know why Paul Bosch's promotion never ran a show there. Even Watts' UWF didn't have but three shows during it's run.
