The guy drawing this stuff does a great job.
Travis Heckel my friend. His artwork is flawless as always!
I havent heard jim put him over once?! Has anyone else?
@@michaelmarino7391 Travis has found a fun niche with Corny. Butler Bears 4-Llfe!
@@danielstokes9475 yes he has it's been a minute but he has
My favorite thing Heckel does is always depicting Bruce as Brother Love regardless of context.
Jim explaining how they gave their wallets to the guy suspected of stealing and then stating afterwards he would often hold other wrestlers items. lol
I like Bret Hart's story about how he had to stop wearing his signature leather jackets in WCW because they'd always get stolen due to Doug Dellinger doing a bad job of watching them. Bret said one time he left Dellinger to watch his jacket. He goes back to the locker room later, only to find a sleeping Dellinger and his jacket gone.
Must of fell asleep listening to Bret’s promos.
It was Randy,
He was bad about taking props and selling them....
I would have said Savage but nobody would get I was actually talkin bout Randy....
@@SegaDream131 Nope. Virgil.
When did Bret say this?
Seems like there's always one. I lost two NFL jerseys and a knife at different times from my football locker. Only another teammate could have done it. Stealing from a teammate just seems a hundred times worse.
Which teams? These NFL jerseys can be pretty expensive, sorry man.
Did they know your combo?
@@bradpaton3927 most football lockers are like a small stand in closet, not a padlock school locker
"There is only one thief in the entirety of the US Marine corps. Everyone else is just trying to get their shit back."

Really wish there was footage of someone getting caught red-handed stealing in the locker room. That would’ve been a legendary beating.
Stealing with Rick rude was ridiculously stupid. Dangerous man to mess with
Kleptomania running wild, Brother!
*Virgil has left the chat.*
🤣
Ooc finally got his 10 dollars back at least 😃
Van Djik ?
Lmfao!!!!!
@@MopShrudel love all the OSW fans on these videos
What about the butcher keeping his wallet on him when he wrestled and still checked it after the match... lmfao
I heard a lot of guys did that....put their money, credit cards and keys into a baggie, then taped it to their ankles in their boots with carpet tape ! Brilliant when you think about it 😮
@@SirManfly only thing is you’d have to remember that you have something stashed like in the case of buddy Robertas who took off his boots during a freebird /vonerich brawl and a stash of weed fell out!! 🤭😆
@@myinnerelement haa haa ya you wouldn’t take your boot 🥾 off and start whaling away on your opponent with all your stuff flying out hey? 😂
I hear that Jose Gonzalez stole somebody's life one time in Puerto Rico.
I love how Rick Rude just knocks him out lol.
Rick was a legit tough guy!
Rick Rude is the man.
Out of all guys why would you choose Rude to thief off?!
@@Devypocalypse ya not too bright huh? 🙄
Fuck. Nash said before he got out of the car... Rude dropped 5 guys.
The great thing about AEW is that whole locker room is stealing from the money mark.....
"Like last time. I shuck the bottle (of pills) in the locker room. Nothing. Than I knew this business is fked" - Kevin Nash
Stealing from the locker room is like stealing from your kids. It is something you just do not do.
I was at a show in 1975 in Davenport Iowa when somebody stole the AWA Belt during a Gagne/Bockwinkel match. lol
Love the thumbnail, but man it was a great opportunity to draw Corny dressed as Repo man. 😂
Its more hamburglar than repo man. 😂🤣
I, too, thought it was more obvious to make it repoman
Yes that would have been tremendous! Maybe being chased by Smash and Krusher Kruschev 😂🤣
Repo Man legally repossessed items from people behind on payments. That's legal. Theft, last time I checked, as still not legal.
@@DIESEL0759 troof 😂🤣
The artwork reminds me of Repo Man lol
I guess when Bobby used to say Virgil was back there going through peoples bags. That was a shoot.
I remember doing an independent show back in the seventies my partner and I used to take our wallet and keys and money and put them inside our boots 🤔🤣
Are you and your partner still together?
Haha, that sounds cool. Did you work with anyone we know of?
All $25?
didn't know you could fit hot dogs in your boots.
For those that can PERCEIVE they will
BELIEVE for those that can't no EXPLANATION will do
HUSS 👍
A friend who wrestled in the 80’s-90’s told me about a rash of burglaries in Texas that seemed to follow the WCCW shows. The MO was pretty unique - the burglar would get in by simply ripping doors off their hinges. The alleged culprit made perfect sense: Jeep Swenson.
..of course.. BANE..
I fixed someone who was stealing my lunch at work For 3 weeks I had someone stealing my lunches twice a week couldn't find out who it was. So I was going out to lunch one day didn't tell anyone I made cat food sandwich. Well that stopped all the stealing of my lunches
Shulda made cat shit salad....
1:58...
I Bet "Suit-Stooge" Was *Paid* +$500 for Waiting There With 3 Suits for an Hour!
That story of Rick Rude knocking PN News out happened back in 1991 & a lot of guys that worked there at the time in WCW said PN deserved it & Rude had set trap as well.
@Cause I Said So
From numerous accounts, it was said it was a money trap
Great question; enjoyed listening to Jimmy’s answer.
This might be a stupid question... but why didn't they use lockers in the locker room?
I don'Think it's!
Because while they are called locker rooms most wrestling shows back then took place in civic centers are similar venues that didn't have dedicated locker rooms with lockers
Now I'm by no means a backstage expert, but if I had to guess, they had no way of locking them so they just had their buddies watch their things.
These guys are supposed to have travelled their lifes away and never seen the little locks they make in luggage???....
Wrestlers....
Like a rock....
@@SegaDream131 there is usually no lockers just stalls like the NFL
I went to ahem...urban school systems and this was a daily occurrence. It was always the loudest most obnoxious person who was always a thief.
As a former loud, obnoxious bully from an urban school i can confirm this fact.
lmaoooo till someone handed their wallet to bruiser brody or david schultz then come back after the match and ask for their wallett lol what wallet
I wouldn't trust Dave with it but id bet if you asked bruiser Brody to keep it safe for you he would have (if he liked you lol)
In a bruiser brody book a territory had a probelm with a thief. Everyone had a good idea of who it was. Brody asked the booker about the thief infront of everyone and took his stuff right to the guy they suspected and they said that took care of the problem
We had a incident in Dallas when Jeff Gaylord tried to steal Mat Bournes Ribero steakhouse jacket from the dressing room. BIG FUCKING MISTAKE.
Well what happen
The thumbnail gives me "The Sims" vibes.
(Cringe)
Regarding the Gorilla setting a trap incident, I have a friend (Ive lost touch w since he moved) who was a prelim wrestler way back in the day and he had told me a story pre internet. Someone was stealing money from the lockers and they left some money in a locker w some spray paint markings on the back. After the show they frisked everyone and found the culprit and Gorilla beat the piss out of him. Anyone want to guess who the thief was............It was none other than the Missing Link. Link was also famously banned from the Chicago Suburban bar that my friend ended up latter bouncing. at I guess Link had quite a few issues, even among the wrestlers he was out of control..
Sean Waltman was rumored to be a locker room thief in WWE
Travis needs to sell these in a book. For himself, for charity, whatever, just get them out there.
Smart and also afterwards you and they know. Clever, I must say. The best thieves can think on their feet and are born liars.
Kiel Auditorium was the MSG of the Midwest.
Getting in a wrestling locker room is sacred
It was.
Tony Atlas used to steal girl sneakers
Damn! That question was very well written
I had to hold Buddy Landel’s Rolex in the late 90’s and he asked me to watch his stuff. Granted he didn’t know me so maybe that’s why he did it. Corny coming through as always!
P.N. News? Or Stephen P New
PN News. Big fat guy with a rapper gimmick.
@@sandmantn77 Aha; tnx; 😄 Just saw a Picture of this fat thiev
Last year I ended-up living in a house with young 20 somethings. On the 2nd day I had a bunch of food stolen after being super-nice to all of them. It had been going on for a year already & *nobody* warned me. Within a week I figured-out the 2 guys doing it. So I bought both of them over $30 of groceries each. They were all smiles & compliments(never accused them, just offered the food). About 2 weeks later they resumed stealing my food. *Scumbags.*
When I worked security. A coworker used to steal my lunch until I put laxatives in one night. Never had an issue after. The kicker is that it was my supervisor that made 3x as much as me.
@@Emery101 *Good one.* Yeah, I worked security too & had a site supervisor with a BIG salary who was always asking his low-pay guards to borrow money(he was a coke-head).
Cons must love you.
I bet konan and disco know who been stealin in wcw
Would probably say it was Juvie😂😂
@@xxmarvelknightxxgaming definitely Juvie.
@@generallordjowbra8871 Here I thought it was Eddie Guerrero.
Konnan gotta feed that dope habit son 😎
@@Hilversumborn He did, but......HE LIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did Cornette just eat himself out as a thief.. first he said, “the person you suspected, you’d ask them to hold your stuff”... later on.. “do you know how many times people like Flair asked me to hold their stuff”... hmmm
Lol... I actually caught and thought that too, LOL. 🤣🤣🤣😅😂😅🤣🤣🤣
...eat himself out?
@@MarsofAritia haha rat* himself out
'Watch your poke" what a nickname🤣🤣🤣 these wrestlers come up with the most comical names.
Gordon Solie did bring me through the WCW dressing room in 1991 strictly to shoot a backstage thing El Gigante. Gordon knew I was already wrestling, though, but I would shoot a magazine job now and then. The main event that night was Sid vs Lex Luger and I got a nice payday from Lou Sahadi's Wrestling Insider magazine. Before I was a wrestler myself, any interviews I did (Mulligan, Windham, Flair, Simmons, Keirn, Rotundo) were in the hallway to the dressing room but no further. And ... I always locked my stuff in my glove box, too!
So if Global Warming is, you think we gonna have a compartment for gloves in the future?. ..
Because we prolly won't even need to steer our boats....
I never trust when people have asked me to hold their stuff for them. I always want them to show me what the exact contents are inside because I'm always suspicious they'll claim money or something that didn't exist went missing.
Whoever stole Ultimate Warrior's roid stock, he's doing a smuggling
"mondees" or "sundees"
I'm partial towards Wendsdees....
Lol, I remember hearing about Staziak recording shit on an OSW episode.
I thoughThat was the 2000s, though.
A winner is U....
Some of the guys I can think of who I would not trust leaving a single dollar behind with:
Abdullah the butcher
Teddy Hart
Enzo Amore
Jake Roberts
Dynamite Kid
Who else?
Oof, I remember being on a Portland show where this came up in the locker room. I can't remember, but I overhead that one guy was robbed and the whole locker room was questioned. I then remember one of the older guys saying not to trust people around your stuff in the locker room. I remember saying to everyone what bullshit that was, that how can we trust them in the ring with our life, if we can't trust them around our shit for 15 minutes?? People that did that have no place in the locker room or even on a show.
i worked at the arena here in my hometown in the 90s. and wcw came alot. nitros, thunders, Saturday nights. and during all those shows. i wanted to go in. but i didnt. i went backstage when i had to do something back there. but never came close to going in locker room
is there a point to this story?
i went to ECW show before WWF bought them, and met, Sabu, Sandman, Steve Corino backstage, but never got tto the lockers.
Lots of guys had good things to say about Dickie Steinborn , like Jody Hamilton , so I was shocked to hear this as well
the past locker room sounds awesome true brotherhood
6:30 George Costanza
Yup... Love Corny's Seinfeld references. Lol. I Believe that he might be a fan, too. Because, I remember him saying "not that there's anything wrong with that" and "why don't you just tell me what you want to see" in other podcast episodes of the Drive Thru. Love Seinfeld... Greatest comedy sitcom, ever. Next to Friends. 😉😊😊😊😊😎😎😎😎😎👆👆👆👆👆👍👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷
Yo baby Yo baby Yo!
Im almost sure repo man was behind a lot of backstage chaos.
Is there a site where I can find the Nate Bash Song This Is Why, which was played at the end of this episode?
So that part in wrestling with shadows is that not the locker room? Genuine question 😂
Thumbnail should have Riddle pic
I mean Mathew Riddle
Haha sounds like flair thought jim was the one stealing “here Jim hold my 2000 dollar watch “
I read a story almost 25 years ago by an old wrestler who was bitter about the wrestling business. One of the things he wrote about was an incident in the Portland Wrestling days in the late 70's or early 80's. One day while the heels were being paid, the promoter (Don Owens) told them that he would shitcan all of them if they ever brought another under age girl into the locker room. The Grappler spoke up and said it was the baby faces that has done it.
The fool proof way would be not to bring valuables in the arena with you.
Bit hard when you're travelling
@@wce05308 not if you came in a car or ever stay in a hotel room or have any kind of personal sense it's not hard at all actually
@@mikescott8903 , kinda naive, hon. Stuff left in the the car is vulnerable to common theives, marks and the boys. Some of these territories back in the day, people went home that night...or perhaps there would be a hotel room with 4 other guys...so leaving your stuff in the hotel room isn't necessarily an option.
@@cheesecakemousetrap first I'm not your HON, whatever that is supposed to be. Second, it's under lock and key? Do you not lock your car? Does your trunk not have a lock? I'm confused it's under lock and key and in the workers parking lot lmao. I know how territories worked. Lmao get your crap together. You're no authority on this and you seem slightly on the slower side if you think having your stuff under lock and key away from the people you thought were is a bad idea. Gtfoh with just wanting to argue. Of that's what you want pick something or someone that won't make you look as d umb as you seem right now..shove off
@@mikescott8903 , that’s a lot of words when you should have just said “under lock and key”. Trouble is, cars got broken into all the time then, hon. And they still get broken into today. Kinda naive, hon.
That's why you get dressed in the parking lot and then leave your shit locked in your car
This picture lol .. i wanna meet Jim
Holy shit! That is geniuse.
I know this ain't wrestling but there's an old baseball story that Babe Ruth got Leo .Durocher traded from the New York Yankees around 1929-30 due to accusing him of stealing his watch (they were roommates). Ruth supposedly set a trap in the locker room and caught Durocher with three marked $50 bills.
In any case, Durocher was a young short shop who couldn't hit much and was gone just like that from the Yankees so it may have been his lack of hitting too.
Durocher, was a shifty character for baseball, suspended for consorting with gamblers, well noted as a manager for ordering pitchers to throw at batters, etc.
so the story is still out there almost 100 years later about 1 Hall of Famer stealing from another....
I always wondered if that’s how it works. So the company gets to tell the building workers what to do?
My cousin’s name is Daniel Duran lol. Not from Texas though
I know MSG hires people to prevent that stuff now but that’s basketball and hockey
A poke is also a brown paper bag.
Leave counterfeit money in your stuff and when you get robbed sit and wait to see who gets Floyded....
I forget where I saw it, but I remember Bret Hart saying someone came to one of his autograph signings with one of his old Hart Foundation jackets that had been stolen, but didn't confront the guy about it. I'd think if you're a real fan of the guy you'd hand the thing over, but that's just me. How in the heck would some rando arena employee be able to get in the lockerroom and make off with the Hitman's jacket without getting an Anvil to the face.
Still pissed someone stole my jordan 6s in HS out the locker room
Dudes stole Flair's robes that crazy
Another shout-out to KC thanks JC
The police have locks on there lockers at work and only police can go into their locker rooms.
Nope, the electrician may enter many a secure area...
didn't they have lockers in the locker rooms?
🎤Dan Dan Dan, Dan Dan Duran,
Dan Duran, in my hand,
Wow no mention of 5 fingers frank milk
I thought that was the Repo Man
Is Jim saying Rick Flair might have thought at one time he was stealing? I know wrestlers can be paranoid but that's crazy.
6:00 what in the world is in that bag, what you got in that bag??
That's why they carried weapons.
Its called a lock 🔐.
Why didn't they lock it in the car?
True
Haha gold
Is that the Repo Man in the drawing??? Lol!!!
1:55
Ummm... Patterson and Brisco?
Patterson and Brisco were Vince’s stooges in kayfabe storylines. In reality, both of them worked in the back offices in high executive positions alongside Vince.
Idk why but i feel like Iran Sheik was a victim.
Back in the day guys was carrying cash around these days they are not.
pn news need s p news
Jim maybe it's a Kentucky thing using the term "poke" to describe a bag or something useful to carry your shit.
Everyone search TH-cam for DUCT TAPE BANDIT and watch that news interview with the liquor store owner. DO THE MATH 😂
you sir are as Miz and Morrison would say.COORRRRRRRRRRRRECCTTTTTTTTTTT...pike county ky here!
Jim "back in my day" Cornette
