I remember seeing Nikita Koloff hit this guy that was so much smaller than him with his Russian Sickle/clothes line finisher. It was on the old TBS Saturday night studio show with Gordon Solie. The jobber’s ring name was El Geeko and he was a bald guy with a beard and had on shaggy fur trunks and boots. He actually looked exactly like my high school chemistry/physics teacher. That is why I remember him so well. Anyway, Koloff sent him into the ropes and hit him with a clothes line that came upwards under his chin and from about Savannah with how far he swung his arm. This guy was lifted up off of his feet, did a legit 540, landed on the back of his head and if it was a sell from the guy it was the best clothes line sell in the history of pro wrestling. That guy just got absolutely obliterated.
No wrestlers have ever put more guys out of the business than the Mulkey Brothers. One match with them and the opponents drop dead on the spot from laughter.
The problem today is that the wrestlers have to compete with the UFC. And to compete with the UFC when the audience knows it’s a work, you end up doing the spinning backflip vertabreaker piledriver. But the business will never get back to the glory days, where 30-40 arenas drew 2-5,000 people every single night and twice on Sunday.

The kid mass transit never belonged in the ring to begin with. Mass transit asked New Jack to to blade him and trying to call shots and overstepping his boundaries and lying about being trained by killer Kowalski
@@Gurziak what he did to gypsy Joe was wrong. How he got "even" with Vic Grimes was wrong. I'll give him a pass on the Mass transit issue, And for stabbing that dude in Florida. But beating the hell out of a old man, and attempting to kill Grimes. He was wrong for those.
The Big Cat was a great guy and a tremendous performer. Probably one of the greatest talkers ever in the business. I also had the pleasure of meeting Ernie in Louisiana. He was a complete gentleman.
I'm glad Jim referenced Yokozuna in this, because the first thing I thought of is how savage his finisher looked to some of the jobbers, as opposed to on someone like Hulk Hogan or the Undertaker.
Yes. If he was in a mood (or maybe the job guy messed up in some way earlier) he wouldn't squat down on the banzai...he would just let his feet slide out and full on crush their sternums. it looked absolutely brutal
Bill Eadie is a guy I could listen to all day long. He's very matter-of-fact and never comes off like he's bullshitting. The shoot he and smash did with Hannibal, I think it was, was amazing
Purposely hurting jobbers is literally despicable. Like how stupid do you have to be? Hurting someone doesn’t make you look tough it just exposes the business. If you punch a jobber for real and knock him out, as a fan I’m like wait why don’t you just do that all the time? Hurting the jobbers is a perfect example of a kid squashing a bug just because he can. It only projects your insecurities as a person and makes the product look worse.
Swan Lee not true. They’re superstars, if they don’t absolutely break every bone in a jobbers body it would expose the business. He can afford the hospital with his $500 payday, and even have $20 left over to pay his trailer court fees.
EXACTLY !!!!!!!!! LMAO !!!! That was ole Ernie. As a child he knew a friend of my moms as they all finished and went to Grambling. He was there at there at their house one time and I was TERRIFIED of him cause he was do HUGE !!!!!!
Jesus, I just saw the clip: watch?v=Jk6T74T-0xg , it was Rick Steiner. Scott always said Rick was the crazy one, and NOT the one you wanna stiff in the ring. It wasn't a receipt, it was a goddamn murder. Teddy Long was like, "Dude, I ain't even gonna hurry on counting this guy, he's out."
I'm reminded of a few stories of the APA, they weren't careless or reckless, they were a bit stiff in the ring and liked to pull rough ribs in the back, but they weren't sloppy. But when someone was reckless and sloppy or just let their egos get too big for their positions in the pecking order they'd invariably find themselves in the ring with either the APA or the Dudleys or one of the other 'policemen' who'd proceed to teach them to clean up their act.
Best example of that was Public Enemy when they came to the WWF. And who ended up being the welcoming community for that party? APA, and it didn't look like it felt very good either.
I was sitting next to Joe Thurmond in the locker room, and was working security, when he got his back broken. When Vader found out what happened he kicked open the outside door fell to his knees threw up, and started crying, it was Ron Simmons that helped him calm down. And while all of it was going on people kept asking me questions about Joe because I had been sitting next to him, I had never met him, until he sat down next to me. All I could tell them was which bag was his, so they could get whatever info they could. It is something I will never forget.
Wrestlers HAVE to be more careful in the ring. Have we learned NOTHING from that fateful night when the Undertaker almost deprived us of Hulk Hogan's greatness with that botched pile-driver?
Funny how strength can make someone safer or dangerous, depending on how they use it. Compare the Ultimate Warrior injuring Bobby Heenan's neck or nearly breaking his own neck against Rick Rude by jumping too hard vs. Kane, who I remember once lifting Taker up during a near-botched tombstone so that Taker's head was in the right position, and thereby avoided either a botched finisher or a neck injury for Taker.
When it comes to Corny's last point on the job guys, if I was the promoter and I trusted a member of my management team for lack of a better word to book jobbers who at least somewhat knew what they were doing and one or two turned out not to fill that criteria, I wouldn't blame the guy in the ring for it, I'd pay them then go to the guy who booked them in the first place and chew them out saying something like "what the fuck are you doing, did you not think to fucking check if that guy knew anything before sending them out there?"
"It's not their fault they don't know what they're doing" Definitely never thought id hear those words come out of Jim Cornette's mouth. Pretty sure he didn't know he said it lol.
I think maybe more interesting is the guys today who are safe, who will protect you in the ring, who go out of their way to make sure you and they come out the other side and then get insulted for it. Good example, the Miz, love him or hate him he's almost never hurt, he's not stiff, he doesn't throw potatoes, and his moves are made to look good but not bump hard... And they let Daniel Bryan insult him about it. Like he wasn't a real wrestler cause he hadn't caused himself enough injury.
there is video out there of a job guy messing up a Road Warrior Animal clothesline so bad that Animal just punched him in the face elbowdropped him and covered the poor guy
@@aohu7505 how ironic would it be if corny ended up inspiring the most absurdly dangerous finisher of all time? John zandig is probably working it out right now.
Okay everybody has heard this one Superstar Billy Graham made a statement that Abdullah the Butcher had cut some dark-skinned Indian guy so bad that the guy was turning white in the locker room from Los of blood, and blood was literally running down to his feet that is taking it too far another example of taking it too far is Abdullah the Butcher cutting people and knowning he had Hep C basically crashed Hannibal's career and who know how many others
Mack McGowan I don’t think reckless is the right word to describe him from what I’ve heard. The word reckless implies that it was unintentional, JBL would intentionally throw way more stiff hits at guys that he had problems with or didn’t like
@@elliotaddler2302 That's what happens when you're buddies with the guy who very few people in the lockerroom mess with in Taker. I'm pretty sure Taker probably had talks with him at one point or another. Granted all you had to do is step up to JBL and show you aren't taking his shit. There's a story about wrestlers court where Matt Striker or someone had enough of JBL or something and started rolling up his sleeves and JBL backed down from fighting him or something.
Yeah, Ahmed hurt a few guys. I remember that Owen Hart had to have STAPLES, not stitches put into his head because Ahmed kicked him in the head with a scissors kick way too hard.

when i worked my trainer. my graduation match was him just chopping me the whole time. i had no spots and a bleeding chest at the end of it but i did try to cover up
The best ever jobber was the guy that wouldn't sell for the sky scrapers, even when they were shooting the fuck out of him after the bell. He should be in the WWE hall of fame, maybe 2018
Really, I never knew. Thought he was a one hit wonder but now you've made it more interesting, I'm gonna have to find more of his matches. Do you know any names ?
He also no-sold almost everything and you could never have more than one match with Terry. You had Terry's match and 9 times out of 10, he was getting over, whether it was good for business or not. It's hard to be reckless in the ring when your moveset is so limited. His matches always had a lot of time wasting and posing. Goldberg was also limited in the ring, but at least Hogan knew his limitations and worked within those limitations. I know he did more in Japan, but in North America, he stuck to his bread and butter and it's hard to screw that up.

Thanks for the link. I just watched it. That kick by Champion was nasty and that clothesline was something else.
7:24 holy shit I want to see that move one day.
I have to give Hulk Hogan credit just once, he wasn't wreckless in the ring, he is just wreckless in life.
He also no-sold almost everything and you could never have more than one match with Terry. You had Terry's match and 9 times out of 10, he was getting over, whether it was good for business or not. It's hard to be reckless in the ring when your moveset is so limited. His matches always had a lot of time wasting and posing. Goldberg was also limited in the ring, but at least Hogan knew his limitations and worked within those limitations. I know he did more in Japan, but in North America, he stuck to his bread and butter and it's hard to screw that up.
2:30 lol
A recent example would be Nia Jax.
Cornette is SO much at his BEST when talking about classic wrestling, not his boring repetitive negativity against current wrestling
Jim seems like an uptight guy. It's like he can never chill.
** you. You chill Jim rules you suck a**
Love the videos but there's some noise picked up by the mic that sounds terrible. Worst audio...
The road warriors were rough but not wreckless
some of their 45 second NWA matches where they took on 125lb jobbers sure looked they hurt like hell
He was a chic Donavan of color
“If they are here, then they need to fucking take it!!”
mabel was one of the worst
Thank you. The worst ever.
@@walterlevesque4879 Mabel was 500 plus and would just flop his ass onto the chest of some 175lbs poor bastard. Didn't ever check on their position. Wtf
Yes he was and had a bad temper.
Well I mean they were men on a mission. A mission to find as many striped boat sails as possible and turn them into corseted hoodies.
Kevin nash and you can see him say so when Mabel splashed nash nearly breaking him in half.But Vader was another
