Used to see Terry "Landell" around in nightclubs in the '90's. Always had a posse of wanna-be gangsters or some bottle-blonde who must have been a paid escort. As charming as a bathtub full of snails.
He has 4 speeds…1. Sitting outside at his house in peace and quiet. 2. Playing with his dog. 3. Being one of the best wrestling historians/ story tellers ever. 4. Trying to kill someone and mad when he wasn’t able to pull it off lol
At Mark Curtis Memorial Reunion show, Mick Foley claimed that a rival promoter, later alleged to be Terry Landell, had torn down flyers promoting the charity show which Foley called "a new all-time low for pro wrestling". The show drew surprisingly small crowd of 350 on 5/5/05 at Freedom Hall in Johnson City, TN.
I'm sad this was posted before Travis Heckle got involved. Imagine the painting of angry Jim and Stacy Cornette (with bloodshot maced eyes) trying to rundown a yellow jumpsuit wearing tub of shit.
I used to see Terry Landell driving around Knoxville in a beat up station wagon with "Pro Wrestling" and a phone number in cheap Home Depot mailbox lettering on the windows.
@@Abb0ttC4t He's not. He's a complete idiot. He's also a bail bondsman and my buddy worked at Knox County jail for a long time and everyone down there hated him. LOL! I've met him a couple of times and when I was a teenager at a wrestling event he cussed me and one of my buddies that was an adult asked him if he wanted to start something and he swore he didn't say anything to me. Of course it was a complete lie but looking back maybe it was just him trying to keep kayfabe. I WILL say though that he used to host a show on local cable access called Wrestle Talk and it was COMEDY GOLD! I mean Must See TV for the ages! I would KILL for someone who had those tapes to put them on youtube. The world would be a better place. LOL!
@@SimpleManGuitars1973Terry Landell's Wrestle Talk TV was hilarious! What moments you thought were the funniest? Also have some really bad experiences with Terry Landell who lived in my neighborhood & I used to attend his wrestling promotion. Some horror stories.
According to Brian Last (Jim's current wrestling-centric co-host), 10:03 was Alice's (Jim previous 'wrestling novice' co-host) best moment of her controversial tenure in the job. Apparently, after listening, for the first time, to how crazy wrestling people like Jim actually were in the territory days that moment was all she could muster. And yes, it was hilarious....
@@blakemeads9225Too bad she's a simp for one particularly shitty religion. Just the one, though. All others religions are okay to bash. Just that one needs people like Alice white knighting for it. 😂
2:10 : So Terry Landell blatantly ripped off the guy who blatantly ripped off Ric Flair, who himself blatantly ripped off Buddy Rogers. (Mind blown) :)
Terry Landell shot a wrestling angle with my high school football team in 1998 vs another school cause we called in to his public access TV show talking shit to each other
FINALLY, thank you Brian. (even though I just recently listened to this Drive-Thur episode for this exact story) Glad to see it up as everyone should hear it.
Jim Cornette is the best I couldn’t give two shits about wrestling today but I love hearing him talk about it when wrestling really meant something because as a fan when I was younger I loved the hell out of it but now I’d rather listen to legends talk about the business when it was old school and it’s just Gold
Hahaha I've had a few run ins with Terry landell myself over the years. I used to call into his show he had on the local Knoxville channel just to cuss him out.
The first to last line is gold - “alotta people would like to see him floatin down [insert local river], I was just the only one that ever had the balls to do anything about it” That’s been something that came out of the mouth of every middleclass man who’d had enough that’s ever lived
2 things you never do. Never mess with a maced Jim Cornette for 1, and for 2, never mess with his wife. Between the folding chairs, the baseball bat in the backseat, Corney's blackouts, and Stacey's flashes of temper, these 2 could take on the world.
The moment Stacy grabbed that folding chair was probably the moment Cornette thought, “Ya know, I really ought to make this woman more than my girlfriend.”
But if you listen to the story Cornette only did that after Landell attacked the car spraying something in their eyes. Besides which it sounds like the guy was generally hated in the town so probably had it coming. I'll grant you it may not be normal, doesn't make it wrong though.
Nice to hear Alice’s voice. I never had any issues with her. I hope she is doing well. I am still waiting on that SMW book. Maybe it’ll happen whenever Cornette’s Collectibles closes down for good which will not be anytime soon.
Jim Cornette is the only person I know of who can happily tell someone he admitted to trying to kill a guy and laugh about it.
Then somehow think he has the moral high ground on political and social issues.... 🤔
Have you ever heard of New Jack?

Don't know the guy but I've never heard anyone have anything good to say about the guy.
He was nothing but a loud mouthed booger sugar addict and I know this because I saw him purchase the goods with my own eyes .....
Brian Coffey lol. That was nicely put. Well done.
My mom knew him. She put me, as a kid, on his golf cart at the fair. He road around trashing people, trying to start fights.
That's incorrect, snails are a delicacy in some countries. Ernest T. Bass is more like a trough full of pig shit.
No wonder Jim mostly just chills at home these days. He's lived a beyond crazy life for decades.
As so many others have stated, what a fucking legend.

WWE Network could do a whole series of 'Storytime' just of Jim Cornette stories and this one should be one of them.
Not with all those cussing xD
Thaey´re totally diferent...Jim´s a WRESTLING promoter...WWE´s a "talent " company
keller blair HA!
They'd have to put up a disclaimer saying that there will be heavy swearing.
It would be well worth the $10 a month
Picturing Landell running from Stacey with all of the things Cornette mentioned going on at the time is one of the greatest things I've ever imagined.
Have you seen that buffalo? I’d run from her too!
Right I bet that had to be a funny site to see
I can see a woman chasing a fat guy down the street swinging a folding chair. its the best thing I have ever pictured.
Mike Peterson Yep me too
“I hope this ain’t taking to long.”
Jim, you’re stories NEVER take to long. I could listen to you all day long.
Yeah Me Too.
Jim Cornette is a FKN LEGEND!!!
Corney is insane. And that's why we love him. With his blackouts and Stacey with the folding chair, nobody stands a chance against them.
Only thing he lacks is a good beat down

@frank bonini I never knew how close Mark Curtis and Jim Cornette were until I listen to Jim's stories
I dont get it. Its Tennessee. It only costs like 100 bucks to have some bones mushed up.
StarlightEater u feed them to pigs for free
Landell died in February of 2022. I wonder if JC is going to do to Landells grave what he wants to do to Russos grave?
Such a shame that this took place back before nearly every one carried a smart phone.
I am starting to think Cornys life is just one big wrestling promo
Not far from reality, I’d say…
"YES!! This is a crime I will admit to because I already went to court and...double jeopardy...I was trying to kill the mother fucker!!!" 😂😂😂

God, I want to create an HBO 3 Season show just based on Jim's stories about the business
God, that would be incredible. The Knoxville stories alone could sustain an absolutely amazing series.

It's like the bad traits of Buddy Landell and Terry Taylor merged to become some heel to Jim Cornette.
I watched 3 other "Jim almost kills someone" videos before I found the one I was looking for.

For real. 💯
Jim Cornette even makes attempted murder entertaining as fuck. LMMFAO 😆
Corny's life. Mace, vehicular assault, Ruby Tuesday with the wife.
😂😂
we had a good meal at a Ruby Tuesday and went home
driving with a face full of Mace. Who do you think you are, Haku?
Terry Landell is probably lucky that it wasn't Haku coming after him.
Nah, Haku would've stayed and beat up 12 cops as they tried to arrest him.
HAHAHA!!
Ernest T Bass would be missing a nose if that’s the case
Hahaha I've had a few run ins with Terry landell myself over the years. I used to call into his show he had on the local Knoxville channel just to cuss him out.
I think he meant the muffler shop on Magnolia Ave/Asheville Highway.
quick-o. The one across the street from Hardees.
Magnolia
Yeah I think the K-Town Daddy also used to do shows in the Eddie's Auto parking lot.
I Googled Terry Landell and found out that he died February 26, 2022.
Do we know where Corny was that day? 👀
@@JaceyMitchell😂😂
literally from 7:00 on i'm laughing. gotdamn there needs to be animated re-creations of these stories with Corny's narration behind it.
Cornette remembers 1994 like I remember last week.
The first to last line is gold - “alotta people would like to see him floatin down [insert local river], I was just the only one that ever had the balls to do anything about it”
That’s been something that came out of the mouth of every middleclass man who’d had enough that’s ever lived
Terry Landel, passed away in 2022. His obit says he was the best wrestling promotor in Knoxville which is obviously complete bullshit.
I laughed till I cried.
2 things you never do. Never mess with a maced Jim Cornette for 1, and for 2, never mess with his wife. Between the folding chairs, the baseball bat in the backseat, Corney's blackouts, and Stacey's flashes of temper, these 2 could take on the world.
I’d revise #1 to just “Don’t mace Jim Cornette” lol
Every time I listen to one of these Cornette stores, I picture something out of the Dukes of Hazard.
I've only ever heard an "attempt murder" story told so matter of factly, by the most Gangsterish of street thugs!
Came back to this after hearing on the Drive Thru that he’s apparently been dead since late February.
Jim Cornette was a straight up mobster when he ran SMW. Hilarious.
Wrestling was a lot like the mafia.
LMFAO he was doing drive bys with a mega phone😂 gives a new meaning to drive bys,😂
“You drew first blood it’s on” lolol
Mr Landell died in May 2022.
This interview never gits old lol!!!!!
I don’t know why Jim hasn’t decided to start writing more. That man knows how to craft a story
I lost my shit when he started talking about half-ass swinging a baseball bat around while somebody held him from behind
imagine if there was footage of the whole thing? lol
This is the funniest Cornette story imo (and that’s saying a lot.) no matter how many times I listen to it I’m in stitches laughing. 😂
I know the muffler shop owners this happened at.
They was marks for Buddy Landell and thought Ernest Bass there was associated with him.
Just heard that Terry Landell passed away.
The woman in this video speaking , has a beautiful voice
Mike Judge needs to do a Tales From the Tour Bus on Jim Cornette!
Has Kane done anything about this menace? He could probably clear Corny to get back into Knoxville. Ya know?
What’s Kane gonna do 😂 chock slam him 🤦♂️
The moment Stacy grabbed that folding chair was probably the moment Cornette thought, “Ya know, I really ought to make this woman more than my girlfriend.”
0:10-0:19 I never laughed so hard listening to Jim 😂😂
This story was hilarious but i honestly can’t believe Jim didn’t end up doing time.
It’s weird not hearing Brian I forgot about this lady.
This is one story I've wanted to hear for a while
Holy shit Stace is a badass
Makes me think of my Girlfriend Heather, badass woman not afraid to throw down, but can also be a classy lady.
No wonder Cornette got along so well with New Jack. 🤣
It would have been such poetic justice if they ate at a Dairy Queen instead of Ruby Tuesday.
Ha! I've been looking for this story for awhile.
Had Corney used this whole thing as a gimmick, Smokey Mountain would still be in business and bigger than WWE! LOL!
J.C. Is a National Treasure. Protect him at all costs... #CornyForPresident

Terry Landel passed away this morning in Knoxville, TN!
Jim Cornette has a murderous temper.
The man is like all good wrestlers him self but turned up a little.
He does have a temper and a foul mouth.
I'm a big Cornette fan, but he definitely seems unstable. Most mature adults don't fly into blind rages like that.
To be fair Landell did make it personally by insalting his wife.
Normal adults still don't try to run someone down with their car over an insult. Cornette has serious anger issues.
But if you listen to the story Cornette only did that after Landell attacked the car spraying something in their eyes. Besides which it sounds like the guy was generally hated in the town so probably had it coming. I'll grant you it may not be normal, doesn't make it wrong though.
There HAS to be an episode of Dark Side of the ring on this!
The hardest part of this story to believe is that you had a great meal at Ruby Tuesday’s!
“A lot of people would like to see Mr. Bass floating down the Tennessee river” 🤣🤣🤣
Wish I could have seen that fight.
I need a Cornette biopic!
Darkside of the Ring can do a miniseries....and when they do, MAKE SURE I GET PAID 🤑🤑🤑
