This and guess the program are the best segments on the channel. Jim is a legend!
True, though I did enjoy a lot when they critiqued cameo videos.
The fact that this game is more far more entertaining than both modern wrestling shows put together smh
Okay I wouldn’t go that far lol they have some good stuff
I've watched a few Bockwinkle interviews. He said he was begging Verne to put the belt on Hogan and he wouldn't do it. Verne would rather wear it himself lol.
Technically, Orndorff was drafted by my New Orleans Saints in like the 12th round as a tight end/fullback. That’s back when there was 20 rounds of picks and I’m not sure if there was such a thing as rookie free agents. Orndorff didn’t made it past training camp with the Saints or the Bears,the following year. He did play in the World Football League of the 1970’s.
Love these game and guess the program segments so much wrestling history we learn about that we didn’t know.
“Secreting foreign objects” 😂
Yeah, my allergies have me dripping brass knuckles from my nose
I am DYING at Brian reading "see-krih-ting," as "sih-kree-ting" right now
Me too 😂😂😂
Shhh, it's a secret!
Who's going to tell this guy?
Orndoff was in training camp with Saints and Bears then played a lil in WFL
Mulligan was in training camp with Jets and played in pre season
I always love this segment.
Re the idea of a 4'11" midget wrestler: WWF briefly employed a young man named Dana Carpenter to work some TV midget tag matches. He had to have been just about 5 feet tall because ref Gilberto Roman was short and was only a couple inches taller than Carpenter.
Some Saturday morning wrasslin history and stories. My yardwork will have to wait.
The Thumbnail Work is Outstanding as usual and Travis Heckel is a Legend … 🔥
You'll shoot your eye out kid!
Corny does remind me of the dad in The Christmas Story due to his passion on certain things.
Nice job Travis 🎾🎾🎾🎾
Major award.
When Jim said "Otto Wanz", I was half expecting him to call him "Otto SCHWANTZ". Or at the very least, "Otto Fellatio"...
Pedro got Wrestler of the Year in 1972
Orndorff was drafted by the new Orleans saints but was on the practice squad and never played in a game. He played for the WORLD FOOTBALL LEAGUE not usfl
I got the Brad Armstrong question right and I'm over the moon with my answer
All Verne Gagne had to do was put the Title on Hogan and the AWA would've survived the 80's into the 90's.
It was the biggest one-time mistake in the history of wrestling. To top it off, the match where they pulled the Dusty Finish(sort of) and took the title off Hogan, didn’t make Bockwinkel look strong at all.
I love listening to these videos.
This podcast needs to be in video format
Jim is a living wrestling encyclopaedia and archive. It's amazing how much he knows. I wonder if anyone has the breadth and depth of knowledge about wrestling, that he does
I think meltzer is the only one with more knowledge than jim in the world
@REUBEN KUKAR I think you might need to check that. Corny is constantly correcting meltzers wrestling history lol. On top of that corny was actually in the business and meltzer is just a dirt sheet writer. John arezzi is kind of a douche but he is actually pretty knowledgeable and while I don't think he knows quite as much as Jim I think he comes pretty close.
@@geeloco1600 I really hope so lol
@@jeffreyheffner908 well both are specialists in different fields
Jim knows more abt the wrestlers bookings who faced who and who went over
Whereas dave knows more abt the statistical side of wrestling like gates attendance bookings ratings tv deals as well as in depth knowledge abt the business like jim
So i think dave knows more
@@geeloco1600 i wasn't
Ik this is the meltzer sucks channel for u
But if u actually listen to him
He knows his shit
Blackjack Mulligan got cut by the Jets somewhere during the 1966 preseason.
I love the Jim. Didn't say stripper he said titty dancer. I'm dying
True or False...
"TheRadRussian" Defeated "Sgt.HammerClaw" for The W.T.F Championship Title...😜
Secreting is actually accurate. It's just being read wrong. They didn't mean it in terms of a "secretion." They meant it as a verb based on "secret." So, yeah. Hiding.
It's "secret-ing" not "secrete-ing"
Really hope for a return to those. They were really great.
I saw an AWA world title match in Oakland in 1981, Verne Gagne defending against Jerry Blackwell, and it was impossible for me to suspend disbelief. And it wasn't because of Blackwell because HE could go!
Or Jim you could answer the phone saying "Joe's Cremation, you kill em, we'll grill em." 😉😂🤣
I've also heard "Joe's Morgue, you stab 'em, we slab 'em."
Bronco negursky
i would love to see how managers, wrestlers and referees would gamble on outcomes. feels like there's a good SNL skit or something there.
Campbell California is where Lars from Rancid is from. maybe that was him calling Corny
Sloan Tempest is apparently part Xenomorph.
It might help if the game typed the names properly. Sullivans first match was in Montreal except it was against Fernand Frechette.
"'Fra-gee-lay'....must be Italian!"
Love this game
ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET KEVIN SULLIVAN'S FIRST MATCH WAS IN MONTREAL WITH FERNAND FRECHETE.
Full episode today?
If these two were commentators for WWE it would make raw or smackdown so entertaining just listening to them alone. Sadly, it will never happen.
I would love to hear them telling truth on dynamite as well. I might watch AEW then.
Secretions.. 😂😂
True or False...
"Cpt.LouAlbano" Portrayed "SuperMario"...
Solie the greatest ever!
Can we please get a Gordon Solie Omnibus special?
PWI awards go back to 1972 also curry did win that award in 1972 and Pedro morales got PWI’s wrestler of the year in 72
Except it was Inside Wrestling, like they said, and not PWI, which started in 1979. Same publishing company though.
Please please do more of these segments.
Frágile
Castle Cornett is basically is in head as well as in his physical castle
The Lou Albano question was an obvious reference to the rubberbands he wore on his beard...
Yes, Jim
Great watch
BOOM goes the dynamite!!
Fragile, must be Italian.
Albano rubber bands, snap back
Yes, secreting means hiding 🙄
It actually does.
Let's be honest; if you actually were the brother in law of Tammy Faye, would you really want anyone to know 🤔
Let put this into perspective, I respect Verne Gagne, he is a B.O.A.T. in my view, but when Ric Flair is attempting to go for his first World Title and Verne Gagne, the man who trained Flair is winning the World Title for The Ninth Time, certain people still wonder why Verne Gagne is not universally beloved by his employees, lol.
Hellz yeah!
trivia scmivia BRO
Morales won wrestler of the year in 1972
And interestingly enough jack briscoe won WOTY in 1973
@@board2death no E Dan quayle
The irony of him complaining about Verne working a style from 30 years earlier is not lost on me.
I think Ornoff make a roster
The New Orleans Saints as I recall, though only for a cup of coffee.
Nope
Jim Cornette should learn to,start criticise himself with the level of creativity he have and a great booking mind,,that he couldnt have found a rich billionaire like Vince or Shahid to keep his promotion running
he shut SMW down so that Rubin _didn't_ lose any money
the only person that ended up losing any money from it was Jim himself
considering the millions of dollars he's made since, it was the right decision
I guess the Craig's List of the mid-90s was a little lacking in billionaires looking to invest in territory wrestling....
@@jaythor70 jim cornette promotion couldve been surviving like Impact Wrestling now over the years without the top stars frm back them.
I feel like moxley has a lot of creative control over his stuff and he be spending too much time in gcw doing that hardcore stuff and he brings it to aew also
Wrong page
AEW fans love Moxley in the same way Japanese fans loved Abdullah the Butcher. He stands out for not being like the rest of the heroes. Unfortunately in 2022 Moxley is not unique and those around him are not heroes. If they made him feel more special he would be better off than now with his cult following.
Wrong page
Moxley still goes to bed at night regretting walking away from those Dean Ambrose paychecks.
Bobby Eaton was the worst wrestler in the world
Find help

TROLLIN IZ A LIFESTYLEEE!

Jim, come out of the closet, it's time !
