Prayers for Black Bart and his family. Bart was a great wrestler and a great talker on the mic. Loved watching him and Dutch as a tag team and Black Bart with Ron Bass The Big Texan with J J Dillion as their manager. Loved the heel turn of Ron Bass on Dusty Rhodes when Bass was a special referee during a World Title Match. Black Bart also had some good runs as a solo winning The National Championship and other titles.
It’s 7am here almost as I type this, I’m going to bed but In 7hrs I get up to go to the weed store so yeah be listening to this on my way to the weed store 😂❤
25:40 some other nameless guy who happens to be raws main announcer these days? Starting to think these shows are a little aimless criticism for the sake of it rather than actually watching and evaluating a product. Come on guys, you need to do better(said with this being one of my fav listens each week so no hate intended)
@nbaldwin45 yeah I did hear that interview too. I really enjoy this each week just sometimes feel like things are criticised now that are actually just things being missed. Maybe I should just chill haha
Back 25-30 years ago we didn’t have the streaming services or TH-cam to entertain us, we waited for raw and nitro to go live on monday nights and we were glued to our television 📺 sets
Regarding WWF and WcW: I mean as many I watched wrestling every week. But I had the impression that at a certain point the competition between them was so hard they some in one company enjoyed it if the other company didn't do that well. So they didn't just care if they just do well, there also was some enjoyment if the others didn't.
Dutch should move to Canada. I was in a work accident and in hospital/rehab for a year and had no bill when I left. I hope you guys can figure it out down there.
There was a time in the WWF(E) when Vince made many of the NWA legends (Race, Terry Funk, Mr Wrestling II) to name a few that jumped ship look like jokes.. Curious if TK will do the same to any WWE talent that jumps ship to his organization
SNME got 2.3 million counting NBC and Peacock, and not counting the live TH-cam numbers overseas. The last 2008 one got almost exactly the same number. I'm sure they wanted higher viewership but far from terrible.
Liver cancer is very hard and usually at stage 4 they just tell you to get your affairs in order. Chemo is horrible, I had it, Lost 65 pounds in the first two months. It kills everything not just the cancer. I felt WORSE after chemo, It killed the cancer and I am in remission for the past two years thankfully. Still fighting the after effects of the chemo though. I have something they call chemo brain. Basically memory loss due to chemo. during chemo it was horrible, I could forget what I was saying when I was saying it! I would lose the concept of thinking completely, NOW I am just forgetting stuff I should not be BUT, I can now have aa conversation. So it stays with you for a while this could be with me "the rest of my life"
Dutch doesn't know the Winged Eagle belt? The most iconic belt in all WWE history. I never understood why WWE had to change the design nor why they changd the design of the logo, except when they had gt rid of the F. But guess what`Look into the WWE games. There is a version of the current logo that fits for every era!
Sometimes I get the impression James doesn't watch the shows. "That guy" who introduced the Body was Joe Tessitore. Who is he you ask? Oh, you know, he's only sitting at the commentary table every single Monday night 🙄 do your homework son.
@scottfaber3232 I understand that, but that only counts for the viewers not the hosts! The host(s) of the show should do their due diligence. If I don't watch the shows, but I come to you for weekly updates just to find out you don't watch the shows either.....then what the hell am I watching you for? You feel me? I'm not yelling at you, I'm just trying to be objective.
@robbymarton74 I mean to be fair, he seems to have quite a bit of knowledge when it comes to the history of professional wrestling, but if this is to be a current events of professional wrestling every week, then he has failed. I like James and understand he's a father now and I'm sure he's a very busy man, but son, I need a reason to keep coming back every week other then listening to the treasure that is Dutch Mantell. Somebody here has to watch!
I just heard 350,000 was the lowest pay for wrestlers on the main roster now days ,and in the golden age they starved guys out like Badnews Brown and Arkeem. Now these guys were being robbed and Vince was paying them so poorly they were losing money working for WWF .AND HE STILL wanted to use these guys just to tight and a huge lack of respect for his Tallent
Ricochet needs to team with is wife as hid manager and take over the role of Macho and Liz .Ricochet will hate to hear this but his wife is way more over than he is but he can use that rub from her and keep everything in house. Jimmy Garvin would have been all over this coat tail by now...
So, AEW have low sales figures for an August PPV? When they start selling tickets a month before Xmas? When everyone is fretting about the cost of the festivities? Surprise, Surprise! Look at how many tickets they've sold by the end of July, and judge it then, FFS!
Health care in the US is a mess, from what I understand. Insurances are there, but expensive and have a limit and every treatment costs more than it woul cost in europe, while having at least the same quality. The thing is, from what I understand is that some blame the government, which I can understand, but there are quite some who are not willing to give something of their gross income to be used to make the health care system get similar to what we have here in europe. Because yes, it's a lot cheaper and in some cases even free. But it's still not payed out of thin air. So it comes somehow with the taxes you pay. But some americans say it's comunism if the government would do that and you can't do that if you are a true american. And of course often healthy people say that barely have to visit any doctor or take any medications. Good for them, but what about the rest! Socialism comes from the word social. To care for others. It does not mean you have to be against the USA or capitalism!
That Lee Fitting story is garbage. People need to get over it.That's how guys talk at the table when we are all together, he did and said nothing wrong. People need to get over it.
Dutch, James....seriously. Toni hasn't dropped the "Timeless" gimmick. Pay attention. You're being worked. She's "lost it, and doesnt remember her "timeless" period. Dont you get it? Its fucking brilliant! Here you guys are, week after week, "Where's the storytelling?!" WAIT for it!! You know this is all going to end with a huge mental breakdown where she finally cracks and "regains her memories" and goes utterly insane. This is going to be EPIC.
@@oddishhonor Well of course, wrestling is like any other art. Subjective. Im pointing out that not only are they telling a great story with Toni Storm, but also that James and Dutch are just dismissing it out of hand without paying attention to what AEW is actually doing. They think Toni has just gone back to her previous Gimmick. That isnt what this is, and if they had payed attention to what AEW was actually doing, they wouldnt have done so. This storyline is everything that Dutch complains about. No storytelling. Well, this time, here they are telling a story, and one never done before. An amnesiac wrestler who doesnt remember the persona she was JUST using, and thinks she's making her debut. It hasnt been done before. Its original, and I think its got huge potential. We can criticise when AEW makes mistakes, but lets also take notice when they strike gold.
Really wish would stop the Dutch mantell with two l’s. Always make me think of double j Jeff Jarret and then waiting for the “a wild slapnuts appears” from another channel,
Richochet is no ring technician, Dutch! His moves have very little impact and he is just another high flyer with great athleticism and timing but he aint no technician, I havent seen him change his style up. His promos are monotone and he wears that stupid necklace that someone should just tear off. Hes solid but nothing special.
I do enjoy this podcast but you've incorrectly talked about All In 2025 being in Texas Stadium. Its not being held at Texas Stadium, it's being held at Globe Life Field which is 40K capacity. That's really basic simple research that hasn't been done, especially if you're planning on talking about the event and it's ability to sell tickets. If they book it properly and build to that show (like they should do every year) then they have plenty of time to build intrigue and generate ticket sales. I feel if you're going to be taking shots at a company then it's best to have your facts correct to begin with, otherwise it feels like you dont actually know what you're talking about, which in this instance, you didn't.

Weed cures cancer ❤
@@monsterzero760 it's embarrassing to put it on wwe network lol
My friday afternoon dose of good ole Dutch
Dutch in the morning....stevie richards in the evening! Fridays are alright! Lol ✌️✌️
It’s 7am here almost as I type this, I’m going to bed but In 7hrs I get up to go to the weed store so yeah be listening to this on my way to the weed store 😂❤
Thanks for the great program gentlemen.
I was so broke we had to collect FLEWD...DUTCH IS A SILLY BASTAGE...WE LOVE EM
Hey zeb!!! I hope you're doing well after your recent health scare. Please continue to stay heathy and happy!
WE....THE PEOPLE✋
Looks like Dutch is wearing a Freddy Kruger sweater.
He looks more like Dennis The Menace.
I am glad to see dutch back in the saddle again have a merry Christmas james and dutch
Bizarre not to put Breakker in the top 5.
He will likely be a multi-time world champion over the next 5-10 years.
Merry Christmas, you guys! Thanks for a fun and interesting year. Glad Dutch is recovering.
Dutch Mantell, the Freddy Krueger edition.
AEW are world class at taking any wrestling star and turning them into 'Just Another Guy' within a month.
But but what about the game changers
In Dutch's time "a memento of every town" meant "the clap".
I loved seeing jesse again
He was a great heel commentator/interviewer

Starting to think these shows are a little aimless criticism for the sake of it rather than actually watching and evaluating a product. Come on guys, you need to do better(said with this being one of my fav listens each week so no hate intended)
That's a fair point. As James admitted in his Maven interview though, he's unlikely to actually read it.
@nbaldwin45 yeah I did hear that interview too. I really enjoy this each week just sometimes feel like things are criticised now that are actually just things being missed. Maybe I should just chill haha
Merry Christmas to you and your families! Love the show❤

"well let me mantell you something, brother!"
@@thefiggamehunt6946 "go on takeashitter. What do you want to mantell us?
JBL usually talks good about everybody. He plays face in his interviews
@45:29 Facade of Illusions I like that!!
Actually JBL has mentioned Dutch a few times on his podcast
Glad to see Dutch back and well
Monday nights in Georgia was in Augusta
Dutch looks like he's living on Elm Street.......
Jesse Ventura is the best on commentary. Like him back then, like hin now! I mean just his voice is so unique!
Merry Christmas everyone
Don't all eagles have wings? Just call it the eagle belt
SNME started at 5pm on the West Coast.. I know i missed it because it started so early.. No West Coast feed at 8pm didn't help the ratings.
It's a pity they couldn't bring Vince back to comanta with Jesse Ventura
I would like to see these retired wrestlers get together and get some things changed with our current medical / insurance system.
im bigger than Darby. I'm 170 lbs and 5'10. I was like huh. he is really small
While it doesn't mean much for the network, it would be nice to know the livestream numbers for these shows.
Saturday night main event had far to many breaks might have put people off
Off topic but the retro wrestling archive TH-cam channel has some new Gulf Coast uploads with Dutch. James and Dutch should do a watch-along.
Saturday night's main event was both on TV and streaming on peacock. So I'm not sure we can say the ratings were bad.
I was watching a video on TH-cam and I got to see the Andersons versus the Kansas City jayhawks
Triple H made it very clear that the 'retro' belt was supposed to be just for one night.
Hey James, you know Tiffany Stratton was trained by Greg Gagne right?
Regarding WWF and WcW: I mean as many I watched wrestling every week. But I had the impression that at a certain point the competition between them was so hard they some in one company enjoyed it if the other company didn't do that well. So they didn't just care if they just do well, there also was some enjoyment if the others didn't.
Butterbean is from Jasper, AL.
Jesse Ventura's garish outfits made me think he was a pimp. Him and Randy Savage
I know this is probably a stupid question but in the email for Dutch is it capitals at the start of every new word or?
Dutch should move to Canada. I was in a work accident and in hospital/rehab for a year and had no bill when I left.
I hope you guys can figure it out down there.
Amazing
Must be nice to have heavily armed security guards for a neighbor...
Hey guys it was called battle bowl it's on TH-cam James and Dutch just in case you ever want to see it just saying
It’s horrible. But I’ve seen it a few times. There is a reason it’s been available on TH-cam for so long lol
There was a time in the WWF(E) when Vince made many of the NWA legends (Race, Terry Funk, Mr Wrestling II) to name a few that jumped ship look like jokes.. Curious if TK will do the same to any WWE talent that jumps ship to his organization
When Tessa sticks her arms out and does that cocky smile you instantly hate her not many wrestlers can do that these days instant heat
They were both laughing I doubt the fan cared

Think ricochet takes out swerve and that proves himself to hurt syndicate, they then rename him trevormann, worlds most amazing superhero
Butterbean lives in Jasper, AL ICUDK James Genius!
Ok dude leave the channel if you dont like it
Vince is the man
7/27/1976 Sam Bass, Frank Hester & Pepe Lopez died in Car Crash
Jesse was in WCW for 2 years.
RIP Black Bart
Rhea Ripley should be at the top of the 30 under 30 list

I never understood why WWE had to change the design nor why they changd the design of the logo, except when they had gt rid of the F. But guess what`Look into the WWE games.

Butter bean used to be built like Grimace, Dutch's no neck theory is correct.
Logan Paul should not be on any list
Jim cornette rules the world
was dutch dressed as denis the menus or freddy kruegar?
Just here for the Jesse Ventura part.
Imagine Owen’s walking out on AEW and proclaiming himself the “real world champion”. That would draw.
Ricochet is an exceptional athleat
James agrees wiv the x bully ban
We want low kie
Adverts on decent matches is very annoying. If netflix dors that it will be pointless
"Just some announcer!" James, Joe Tessitore has been the main commentator on RAW for nearly FOUR MONTHS.
Nobody cares about that dude. The only announcers on that show that the crowd liked were Jesse Ventura and Pat Mcafee.
Hes terrible
💪🏾
I’m a big Jesse fan and loved him in the glory days. He was dated and very much an old joke.
I hate saying this
Sometimes I get the impression James doesn't watch the shows. "That guy" who introduced the Body was Joe Tessitore. Who is he you ask? Oh, you know, he's only sitting at the commentary table every single Monday night 🙄 do your homework son.
He’s too young to be talking with Dutch any wrestling.
I don't think he does watch the shows. He's admitted he only watches the old stuff but reports on news. He's also very unlikely to read your comment.
To be fair there is a high percentage of people that listen to podcasts and don’t watch! So they just go by what their told
@scottfaber3232 I understand that, but that only counts for the viewers not the hosts! The host(s) of the show should do their due diligence.

Need to make your show like PeeWee Herman did. When Dutch says his new word for the day sirens and shit go off😅
If you want to reel at something from wrestling, go watch the Tell Me a Lie music Video bahah
Jordynne Grace's contract ends with TNA in the new year. She'll be in WWE soon as that happens.
Not a fan of her because she use steroids.
@@pinroshan020 So you're not a fan of pretty much anyone in wrestling then.

Health care sucks in this country indeed.
Burp like stone cold
SUP DUTCH???
I'm sorry but does james even watch the shows???? Like TNA is doing alot better than before
45;00. Lets also remember said piledriver looked like complete shit, but that seems to be glossed over
Weed cures cancer ❤
Ricochet needs to team with is wife as hid manager and take over the role of Macho and Liz .Ricochet will hate to hear this but his wife is way more over than he is but he can use that rub from her and keep everything in house.

Jesse was always a cheep copy of Superstar Billy Graham
Which he 100% admits. Lol
