"I'm swinging that thing over my head and im hitting men, women, old people.. I don't know how many people i hit. It sounded like a helicopter had flown into a flock of seagulls, but fuck it" 😂😂

Fun little addition to Jim's story-My father was one of the arresting officers in Huntington. We were watching Clash of the Champions IX, and right after the Midnight Express turned on the Dynamic Dudes, he told me about how he arrested the Midnight Express's manager some years back. I remember being so mad at my dad for not throwing Jim in jail. I miss southern wrestling.

When is Cornette NOT cutting a promo? I can see him at breakfast: "Well, I'll tell you about these goddamn eggs..."

The best part about the internet is hearing the stories from the old wrestlers from the 80s and 90s.

Some fan from the 80s who got wacked by Jim's tennis racket is probably listening to this while experiencing horrific PTSD

They seriously need to make a movie about Jim's life and times in the wrestling business. Have Jim as the consultant to keep it super accurate. That would be some essential viewing.

These stories are GOLD

These “In The News” segments have always been some of my absolute favorite bits on the show. You always find such lost gold in these stories.

When wrestling was wrestling. I love these stories.

My boss is a 80yr old Attorney in NE Ark. He represented 3 guys in early 80s that destroyed Jerry King Lawler's Cadillac in the parking lot after a match. The value of the Cadillac made it a Felony. My boss got the Trial continued 3 different times and The King finally came over to him after 3rd continuance and said hey man I cant keep coming back 4 this. I lose $ missing shows coming here for this and now I have to come again a 4th time. My Boss said Mr. Lawler We would be glad to plea to a Misdemeanor if u can convince the Prosecutor to let us plead to that. Boss said he saw the lights go on in Kings head n he went started talking to Prosc. Boss said he had a call by end of day to plead to a Misdemeanor in Court the Next Day w Stipulation King didnt have be there! Lol! King was losing more $ than Cadillac was worth, lol, 80s Rastlin!

This why we come here! Intrigued and awed by Travis's artwork! Thrilled and humored by Jim's amazing stories!

C'mon Jim we need a documentary/ movie on your life it would be so interesting

All Corny had to say was "Huntington, West Virginia" and I knew there'd be a good story out of it...Some of my family grew up in Point Pleasant, West Virginia so I know how crazy that region is.

Whoever does the thumbnails.... you are a god. Thank you lol

considering all the court cases in this story I’m surprised he didn’t plug the lawyer 😂😂😂

"HE CALLED US SORRY"

Emperor James E. beating men, women... All hail Travis!!

Jim is a lot more gangsta than we really know 😎

My sister's friend once tried to sue Jerry Lawler for spitting on her at Louisville Gardens. Lol! I don't know how it turned out. I was very young.

Couldn't imagine being in the Sportatorium for World Class with that little rope. They allowed fans to go right up to the ring for autographs & pictures. Such a different time.

This is absolute quality. Could even listen to him doing just ads hes that entertaining. Jim you fucking legend.

Im From Wheeling WV Still Here.. The Wheeling Civic Center is now Called Wesbanco Arena..totally renovated.

Hopefully Jim Cornette has Stephen P. News on speed dial. :)

wholesome story about this country's legal system

Almost EVERYTIME I see or hear about the impressive rope barricade, I think of Gordy shoving that fan down just for the fan to get up and give him a thumbs up 😂😂

when I was a kid watching the NWA I always wondered why you and the midnight express was always running to the ring. Now I know.

If the actual Roman emperors, especially the mad ones like Nero and Commodus watches wrestling nowadays, a pretty 75% of the entire roster might be executed for putting a bad show

I love hearing the Greensboro stories! Born and raised here!

It’s so cool when he talks about huntington wv or Ashland ky because I’m in south point Ohio a little village across the river not too many celebs talk about our little tri-state area.

I havent laughed like this in a long time that I was actually crying from his description of getting 4 warrants for wacking fans, so much that I actually pictured him doing it which made me laugh all over again love that man for his contribution to the wrestling business goat

I Was at the 6-27-2001 *PanterA* Show, at TheHuntingtonCivicArena! (Front Row for Slayer & PanterA!)

"It sounded like a helicopter had flown into a flock of seagulls."

The opponents for Ronnie and Bruno Jr in Wheeling were the Road Warriors

If I found a genie with three wishes, one would be to have been in the business back in the late 70's/early 80's and to have worked or been around corny ROFLOLOL these are some of the best stories ever told.

He still knew where the darn RAILING came from... almost 30 years after the fact...wow!!!

Last time I was this early Ronnie Garvin was headbutting that kid

That's one of the funniest fuckin things I ever heard!! 😆 ". . . I'm beaning women, men, old people ..."

He’s spot on, the civic center is on 3rd Avenue and the entrance to the courthouse is on 5th.. two blocks

the lawyers conspired together to take more of Jim's money. Jim blames the child for lying yet he says nothing about being shystered by the lawyers forcing a 2nd trial date.

The thumbnail for this made me laugh WAY TOO MUCH!

would love another extended in the news segment. legitimately my favorite.

That Manscaped plug was classic...you guys should use it more often haha.

That Helicopter noise! LMFAO!

13:46...travis how was this not a thumbnail? lmao

Bluff a buzzard off a gut wagon!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! HOLY SHIT THAT'S FUNNY!!

Never change corny. The experience and drive thru always help me get thru work and provide a bunch of laughs. Also Travis Heckel's artwork is fuckin fantastic top notch shit

Hail mighty Jim Cornette keep telling these stories of your wrestling days and that list of enemies Corny has would definitely be thrown to the lions in that artwork and Corny be worried what story did the lions tell and money was made and in selling of tickets

Love the thumbnail. Lmao

"My Dad Is An Attorney" syndrome! remember Life before the Lawyers took over? 🙄

Having just found your podcast on here I must commend you Jim. You are still a wrestling genius and your stories are hilarious. I could listen to talk about the business all night.

This manscaped ad was 👍🏻 🤣🤣

This is always a treat

Jim does some of the most hilarious product promotions.

Jim should have been able to win court costs from these cases.

I'm surprised the Dudley Boyz were never involved in kicking some ECW fans' asses. 🤣 They drew some damn heat like nobody else.

Moundsville... lmfao

“Crop mop ball-wipes” 😂😂😂

i witnessed JC hit a fan with the tennis racket in the 90s at the Altoona Jaffa Mosque. blood everywhere lol true

Lol I live in wheeling now lol I gotta ask around town about this

I remember watching Bruiser Brody vs. Dale Valentine (later Freebird Buddy Roberts) in Houston in 1978. After the match, this rather large woman kicked Bruiser Brody hard as he was walking away from the ring.

...that warrant, Sir, is for a man with a name which is not my own...

I saw Buzz Sawyer knock a fan out in Huntington Wv, Buzz was walking to the ring....and a fan confronted him on the way.. pushed Buzz....Buzz took him out with one punch. Circa 1983 or 84.

Speaking of the Dream Machine, I once saw him grab Jimmy Hart's cane and break it over a fan's arm. Lol! I think it was during a match between Dream Machine amd Lawler. It was at Louisville Gardens. They ended up fighting outside in the crowd. I think the fan wemt after Dream Machine, so he grabbed Jimmy's cane. Lol!

Jim definitely needs a movie about his life in wrestling. But have Bruce Prichard starring as Jim 😂😂😂😂😂

I always wonder what stories those "fans" that wanna jump the barricade and jump in the ring try to tell the cops.

www.wrestlingdata.com/index.php?befehl=shows&show=130501 The card from the show in question. Bruno Jr and Garvin's opponents were, according to the website, the Road Warriors

My aunt in San Antonio was there when Some woman reached over and scratched Tully Blanchards face really Hard, Tully grabs her with both hands by the hair and drags her a good 4 feet and SLAMs her head down on that arena floor ! before the other wrestlers and stage crew broke it up. heard he was arrested

Great bulldog reference!

I wish there was a series about the territory days. Like a drama/comedy series.

Fire Pro Wrestling Sports Entertainment Universe Mode Past Present Future

i saw a show in ocala florida when i was in high school and kevin sullivan was coming to the ring. a women slapped him across the face and he hit her. the police came but nothing happened to him. the police told her and i quote, "keep your fucking hands to yourself!" lol.

I like that lion...

🤣

Fed to the lions 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 love how the lawyers and media sensationalise things sometimes.

I'd love a Midnight Express TV show based on Jim's life.

It looks like The Land of Misfit Toys from Rudolph the red nose reindeer.

Wait, the media lied about a story??? No that never happens 🙄

Kids are better workers than the heals

I wasn't even there it was Owen

Jim said that fans can't get close enough to hug a babyface now because of all of the barricades. But I witnessed a couple of preteen girls hugging Dolph Ziggler at Smackdown a few years ago. This was in one of the sections beside the entrance ramp, and Dolph stopped on his way to the ring for the dark match after the taping. There was a barricade there, but just the one normally seen beside the entrance ramp. Fortunately, these girls just wanted a hug because I don't think that barricade (or the arena "security" employees stationed nearby) would have stopped a crazy fan from attacking Dolph or anyone else. As Jim said, there's no real heat now but if a time traveling fan from the 70s/80s had been in attendance, that barricade wouldn't have kept the heels safe.

The reason why they have so much security is not because fans want to beat the heels. It's because they want to beat anyone to liven up the show.

2,500.00$ u got off cheap.

I hope Jim goes more into Altoona given I'm from there haha

Im glad I stopped.doin drugs because I been a fan of this podcast for years and I listen to every episode. I don't remember this lol.

Friday march. 21,1986 huntington west Virginia. The midnight express nwa world tag team champions def the 🎸 rock n roll express - cornette hits 4 fans

I just knew there would a Steven P. New ad with this segment.

16:16..... 10 months later

Cornette best heel in the game today the Volvo driving the post office flying pod cast subscribin' heavy weight champion of the internet wrestling talk of the world

Fuck manscapped.

So Steven P. New pays for his plugs on this show with legal services for Jim.

Stories like the ones Corny's telling here are what it was like back in the territory days folks. Today the talent doesn't have to deal with that shit thanks to Vince exposing the business, pulling back the curtain & smarten up the fans & has made it an extension of Hollywood. Thanks for nothing Vince, you killed the business.
