    Man I love listening to these. I work for a construction company in another town that requires me to drive an hour and a half to get to work. No gas station or anything to stop at. Just trees, one cell tower and the road I take to get to work. Recently got wifi for my vehicle and I’ve been listening to all these Cornette stories on my way to work every morning when I leave, to every evening when I gotta drive back home. I prefer wrestling stories from guys like Cornette and others over the radio or my own iTunes playlist. Makes my drives to work a lot more fun. Thank Goodness for Cornette and his amazing stories.

Security didn't do anything except ask me not to throw any other crap at Cornette.

      You're lucky. If a fan attacked a wrestler in the old Mid-South, he got taken to The Room. The cops might do a number on him, or they might let the wrestler that he attacked have 5 minutes with him. Or maybe even Bill Watts would come in and do a number on him. You didn't dare try to damage Bill Watts' property (wrestlers).

Even had a great uncle of mine jump over a barricade at the Lake Charles Civic Center and get a few shots in on Micheal Hayes. Love the trip down memory lane Jim. Dad still hates you, but I’ve grown to love you. Much respect for a man that got to travel Louisiana and has great stories of the towns that I grew up in and know. Here’s to the only man in Louisville that knows the locals call it Alec in Central Louisiana.

      When Junkyard Dog was "blind," they did an angle in New Orleans where Michael Hayes came to the ring to confront him. A fan jumped into the ring and pulled a pistol on Hayes screaming, "I got your back, Dog." The police hit the ring and got him out. JYD said years later that he almost knocked the gun out of the guy's hand, but that would have given the sport away. About like Mr. Wrestling (Tim Woods) and Johnny Valentine when they were on the same plane together back in 1975 (plane crash that also injured Ric Flair). When word leaked out, they said that it was George Woodin, a fictious promoter.

    Glad these guys can laugh about the experiences now--I've heard other shoots from Mid-South heels about that time period, and it sounds like it was legitimately terrifying to deal with the fans down there. They weren't quite as bad as the ones in Puerto Rico, but pretty close. I'm surprised more of the heels didn't end up in the hospital.

I don't know why he sells himself short but he should be in considered in the Mount Rushmore of top managers along with Bobby Heenan and Lou Albano and JJ Dillon. He's among the top 5 list for sure.

    I wrestled in that building in Houma in the 90s… super dangerous… one way in and out of the front of the building for everyone… locker room was a small concrete cube… only thing that made it fun that night was working with Honky Tonk Man. We sat in the back and commentated on the fans and the other boys lol. Promoter tried to stiff me on the payoff and HTM squared me up out of his own pocket?!… pretty sure THAT almost never happened lol.

    Thats cus Watts is the promoter who is paying the cops to.do detail and im sure the cops were charging top dollar to detail a wrestling event. So hence why the cops lets Watts do w.e he wanted to the guy before they hauled him off cus he's the man thats payin those cops and signing there slips. And it's his hometown as Jim said so they already know he's a rich dude and you know how thats goes..

      It was different before everyone had smartphones. Back then, what happened at the arena stayed at the arena, unless the cops got involved.
      These days, there’s just nowhere to publicly vent about whatever, because it will end up on TH-cam, and your boss will end up seeing it.
