That artwork will haunt me for all my remaining days
That look on Watt's face is priceless.
You never dreamed about Jim shaking that thing? I thought that was natural
He's just a sexy corny, sexy cornyyyy
Homer Simpson looks at the thumbnail
*"Doh, stupid sexy Cornette"*
"Feels like I'm wearing nothing at all!"
Think unsexy thoughts, think unsexy thoughts.
That's just disturbing.

Last thing I needed to see today was Jim in daisy dukes. Although Nikolai questioning his existence makes up for it
🤣
😂
Kinda looks like he it man idk haha 😄
Actually it's a cartoon of Jim. Just sayin
Daisy pukes
Personally i love when Brian and Jim talk about the old school stuff more than modern day wrestling. Not that those are bad or anything. There's so many great stories i haven't heard about the old days that i wanna hear. I could listen to this stuff all day.
80s specifically yeah
@MemphoWrasslin1 I've the cure for youtube commercials. Adblock on your computer OR just grab the timeline bar and go to the end of the video. Restart it. No more ads.

Jim's sexy graphic looks like he got them shorts from SUNNY KISS😂🤣😭😅
Good grief! But hey can't hate daisy dukes shorts 😂
Both the grossest and greatest thumbnail I've ever seen
This thumbnail is top tier along side Cornette in pigtails on a swing. 🤣🤣🤣
The one with Jim as wolverine is up there as well imo
What about Fire Marshal Bill?
"Business was hot. We were selling out everywhere" - Jim Cornette
I loved the "loser leaves town" matches of the 80's.
Jim in daisy dukes oh my god lmao 😂
Seems you like it. Got the big boy chubby?
Travis Heckel: When it comes to this particular artwork I have only one word... NO!!!!!!!!!!! I'll never look at Jim Cornette the same ever, ever.
Travis's artwork once again top tier.
The look on Watts's face is priceless like he's thinking, 'What in the blue hell are we doing here?!'
they made him look like Meat Loaf
For a lack of talent, I remember a lot of "scrub versus scrub" matches on Mid South TV in the early 80s. Like Art Crews versus Joe Savoldi--type stuff. And boy, Jim Ross would always talk it up, like--"and this would be a main event, anywhere in the country"!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mid-South and Memphis are two of the territories I wish I could have seen in person.
Texas during the von Erich years would be on my list. .that and NWA Crockett.
@Wyatt Holliday, I was & count myself VERY FORTUNATE to have lived in the hot bed of Mid-South territory. I watched the weekly show faithfully & attended MANY live events. I am forever grateful to my Grandfather for getting me into pro wrestling.
@@johngallagher72 I definitely could have gone for some World Class, myself. I saw lot of Crockett though!
@@bonusbaby801 That’s awesome! I was around the Florida territory, so I saw a lot of Crockett in the later years.
I was able to watch both. Memphis on channel 5 and mid south on abc channel 6 out of Greenville MS. Some of the best wrestling ever
Jim in those short shorts made me revert to my old habit that dies hard. Any time I am on the phone or online, I unzip.
Most of us loved mid south wrestling.all through jr.high and high school.we grew up every saturday watching our ffavorite wrestlers.we could not wait till monday morning to talk about wrestling at school.
Howdy friends. Why is Jim dressed as Sonny Kiss?
Cause he can.
Because he reads my emails and knows I have fetishes?
@@stinkypinkeee5085 if Jim clapped his cheeks I would die laughing.
Saw kamala beat Iron Mike Shape bloody in 1983 at Barton Coliseum in Little rock.
Iron Mike Sharp
@@mr.mr.4772 Yeah, Sharpe. Sorry for the spelling.
Took three posts but you got canada’s greatest althlete name right🎉
82 to 87 Mid South was Vinces first developmental territory ...Orndorrff ...JYD . OMG ...Butch Reed ...Duggan ...Jake Roberts .. DiBiase
Terry Taylor and Big Boss man
@@p.d.l7023 very true ...also Koko B Ware if I'm not mistaken although I think he bounced back and forth between Memphis and Mid South
Also Nikolai Volkoff
The New Zealand Sheepheaders AKA The Bushwackers
What's next? Corny days or Jimmy Hyatt.
That fucking thumbnail 😂😂😂🤣🤣 like lookin at Spongebob in fishnets and high heels
Strong thumbnail
bruh the picture lol
Amazing art.
NBC is probably going to cancel 80% of the WWE Library. Anything south, ECW, attitude Era, divas, puppies, Fabulous freebirds.
What? I thought that was something Disney would do.
And edit most of the stuff from attitude era
They are editing out Roddy Piper's "Black And White" interview before WM V (I think it's that WM)...THAT is a piece of business that should be shared with the World, not censored out of existence...I see "tape trading" making a BIG return as Old-School fans try to ensure the preservation of Pro Wrestling in its original form...
Best thumbnail yet lmaoooooooo
Makes me wanna wake up the Wofe for a "Tussle"...
Mr. Wrestling #2 was my favorite wrestler from Mid-South, before JYD and the Freebirds
That drawing of Jim needs to be on a t-shirt!
You beating your thing ain't you? It's okay it's natural Jim too fine
I had no idea Ole and Watts had a deep friendship until the Dark Side episode came out.
Is that Bill Watts or Al Bundy?
Same guy.
Al Bundy was the most famous graduate from Polk High. Legend has it he scored 4 touchdowns in one game.
I thought it was Chris Latta...
And the Cincinnati Bengals still don't have an indoor practice facility.
I knew Sunny is Jim Cornette in disguise all along in that thumbnail
The November 1983 Dome Show in New Orleans they had to bring in people from everywhere else. I was there.
JYD vs Butch Reed in a yellow streak match
The Road Warriors vs II and TA
David Von Erich vs Kamala
Kerry Von Erich vs Missing link
Dusty Rhodes vs. King Kong Bundy
Hacksaw Duggan vs Anvil Neidhart
It was an awesome show but like they said a change needed to happen. It was hard to beat the heat the birds vs jyd got or the heat teddy vs dog got.
Mid South just like any company had their highs and lows
A lot of lows. Considering they went out of business. The thing is 95% of wrestling at any given time is garbage it's just people get captivated by the 5%. Then the 5% that wasn't garbage becomes garbage because they beat the horse until it dies. Actually that describes life.
And I was a faithful viewer to the bitter end in 1987!
I'm booked at a show with Mike Jackson tonight 😂
Dude, get me Mike’s contact number! Would love to get him in this wrestling game I’m a fan of!! (Filsinger games legends of wrestling)
Yes, this is Travis that does that art!! Lol
You're lying
That thumbnail is pure nightmare fuel.
🤣not sure how i feel about this one, travis. Mixed emotions 🤔
Is that because Corny in those dukes turns you on and you don't like that?!?!? 🤣😂🤣
Stupid sexy Corny
@@longj74 it got him happy. He got a lil chubby
Scared and Aroused?
Did Jim ever explain JJ Dillon wearing women's lingerie under his suit?
That was in the Florida territory right?
@@davidkos74 that's right th-cam.com/video/LTjUyYBzKsw/w-d-xo.html
artwork needs to be a t-shirt
2:30: Why did Jim Ross only mention Dennis as someone coming in soon?
Dennis is probably the only name the Mid South fans would have recognized in 1983. Bobby hasn't left Tennessee territory (including Alabama and Kentucky and Indiana etc) yet, I don't think, and I know Jim had not at that time.
So Bill Dundee is the reason Randy Savage didn’t come to Mid-South? Man what a missed opportunity
A reunion of the Poffos as a team might have given Lanny a real push! He was struggling as a job scrub in Mid South for years!
Please turn up the volume!!!!!!!
Jim in Daisy Dukes sold me into clicking on this video lol
ha! corny in the "daisy dukes". he he he.
Nice Legs Jim !
Im trying to smash. Never knew i liked men
The Darsow Daisy Dukes!
Yeah, I never did understand him wearing anything like that in the North woods of Minnesota!
Travis....whyyyyyyy
What years did Grizzly Smith book for Watts?
What's funny is that Bill Watts gets hired by WCW and decided he needed to recreate the "dark days" described above...rather than find a new, fresh mind to handle creative.
Bill Watts is one of the legendary idiots of the industry...
Go ahead and list your wrestling resume and then we'll compare it against bills
Watts did what he was told to do by WCW cut costs
I'm old, deaf, andmy tablet is crappy!
Cornette in daisy dukes is scarier then any horror movie
Cornette doing a great Missy Hyatt (can't blame Heckel for putting him in a Cornette shirt rather than the classic red PWI)
Awesome conversation about the greatest decade of wrestling. In those days, Volkoff could have generated heat in any promotion. How ironic that he was Croatian.
Jim Thicc Tho 🤣
Does Jim actually see his thumbnails?
This is a virtual catcall.
Jim I never thought daisy dukes would burn my eyes. Thanks for that Jim u ruined my childhood. Lol
To get One Man Gang and Bob Orton Jr. from ICW paid off big dividends
Cornette got played in the artist work for this one.
I think the last mid south show for 83 was Bill Watts slapping Jim Cornette I've been watching old mid south shows.
Corn makes a mighty fine snack
Lmao🤣
Let’s take a moment to pause and reflect on the video thumbnail art.
*looking from foot to head*
_Whhiiiit_-NOPE
Jim’s pic lmao 🤷♂️😏
Was there an issue between Dundee and Macho that i dont know about
Big time issue. Plenty of shoot interviews and stories from both Dundee's perspective and the Poffo (Savage) perspective. The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle, but all agree that there was a pistol involved in the most notable incident.
@@KayFabe87 are these shoots on youtube id like to hear the stories. Thank you by the way
@@peterriverajr6899 : Plenty of shoots all over TH-cam. Pretty much any shoot interview with Bill Dundee or Lanny Poffo will reference this incident.
@@KayFabe87 thanks im gonna go listen to some
I see Jim has been in Sonny Kiss' closet. Probably the same one he came out of.
Please don't make me visualise Jim in those shorts.
Hard to believe Jim approved that absurd graphic
Lol, he doesn’t. He gives myself and Brian free reign
Look at the gams on Jimmy
Jeff sword 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Second too!
Why's Jim look like Sonny Kiss?
Worst. Thumbnail. Ever.
what tHE FUCK
Yum yum cornette
That thumbnail should be reported
Sh!t that thumbnail is terrible before you know it Jim will be 69ing in an AEW ring
Jim, you're the greatest but that pic of you in those "catch me, pound me" hot pants is disturbing to say the least.
First again!
I'm the best!
@@Am0ment0fB First means nothing, 3rd requires talent.
@@maxxdahl6062 Well then, I was actually first, second, and third. So, I get all the ribbons! Ha.
@@Am0ment0fB Nope, you were not.
@@maxxdahl6062 yeah. I totally was. I'm the best!
