I have a smartphone clip on my bicycle and do long distance cycling. It's not road safe to listen to headphones, so I just play them out loud of my speaker. These clips air as I ride on the side of country roads and on trails around New England, sometimes confused passerbys hear lol. Then on my bike ride home from night shifts before passing out, haha.
I would love for Corny and Weasel to reconnect! You can tell he misses his friend. It would also be awesome to have him be a part of the show to share some stories. I hope he's okay.
Jim is at his best when he is talking about the stories he has about his time in the business. I love to hear him talk about the history of wrestling :)
Was telling my co worker today I don't care about 90's & today's wrestling I lived that, I wanna know the 80's & 70's. I want to know NWA secrets, why certain guys didn't get the world title, Billy Robinson, AWA stories about title situations, just more historic stuff because this modern day stuff just doesn't do it for me. I'm a Bret Hart fan and the way he took wrestling seriously I take every job I have because I refuse to let someone out work me or think they are better than me, so this modern day wrestling doesn't relate to my taking 🤷♂️
@@davidmurray6949 I tried to watch modern WWE and AEW and it just wasnt doing it for me. I really dislike the outlaw mud show bullshit too, so there isn't a ton of modern wrestling I want to watch.
This was awesome. I've always been curious about Weasel. He seemed like an intelligent guy and a passionate wrestling fan. And his sense of humor was top notch. No wonder he and Jim got along so well.
Recently found these podcasts and they're the best. Love putting them on and flaking out on the couch. Jim and Brian's encyclopedic knowledge is incredible and I'm not even that much of a wrestling fan. Just love hearing the stories.
They still have not done a second installment, I am wandering if Norman/Weasel asked him not to or something, I thought they would of done a couple of these already
I found an obituary for Norman Dooley Sr, survived by a Norman Dooley Jr., in 2012. I wonder if Corny is wrong that his dad was dead because the age and location matches.
For heavens sake can somebody find Weasel Dooley. I had some great friends as well that I've grown apart from over the last 5-10 years. This story tugged on the 'ol heart strings.
I haven't even seen a picture of this Norman guy and I've only heard of him today, but already he sounds way more interesting and intelligent than Meltzer.
Jim re-tweeted pictures of Weasel from Howard Baum (HowardMBaum). It's true, he looked kind of/sort of like a young John Denver. Dressed exactly like Jim in his photographer outfit. Plaid shirt tucked in, jeans, tennis shoes, late-70s haircut (the plague of the mullet hadn't started to terrorise the Western world... yet).
So, for decades and decades we were letting Dave Meltzer take credit for creating the star rating system when he in fact stole it from Norman Dooley. Now, whether Meltzer admitted this to Cornette or not, he clearly wanted everyone else to think he created it. Now, I'm sure Norman Dooley wrote with more integrity than Meltzer because quite frankly it's hard to fathom anyone writing with less integrity. That said, the story of Norman Dooley is a fascinating one.
I really don’t like Meltzer. With that being said he has always been open about Weasel’s influence on him. I have a hard time accusing Dave of stealing anything.
I remember in 1985 that the NWA wrestling show( Jim Crockett Promotions) aired on WCPO Channel 9 in Cincinnati ( then the CBS affiliate) ; and Channel 5 WLWT airing the WWF, which was probably appropriate since Channel 5 was and still is NBC, due to the Saturday Night's Main Event airings.
Just because of the historical facts alone, this has instantly become my all time favorite episode/clip of anything Cornette has done. The fact he can add more context because he was there in person makes it a piece of media that needs to be passed down to anyone interested in territory wrestling history.
When the Jim Cornette podcast is 10x more interesting then current wrestling, you know wrestling has a problem. The reason I think people love wrestling podcasts is because here they talk about real heat drama etc not the bad fake heat/drama/emotion on TV. As Jim says you have to "believe it" like it was a movie even if you know it is "fake".
I keep telling me this every time. A guy talking about stories from 30, 40 years ago is more entertaining than the current product. I haven't even been around to watch the territories, but I still find this more entertaining than AEW or WWE.
Goes for most wrestling podcasts, interviews, what have you. I would rather listen to Cornette and Dutch talk about their experiences rather than experience the modern-day product myself.
I'm old enough to remember how important local television was, and it makes me a bit nostalgic. While watching a video on the very thing that made local television obsolete, lol.
Godspeed on one day finding Weasel Dooley and the rest of his work. As a literature nut, I salivated at the opportunity to have read and analyzed June 2, 1981's review with the best 2 out of 3 falls match. But what made me crack a smile and really dig into the review Brian posted on his Twitter was how speedy Weasel was on the typewriter and how coherent and understandable a lot of the grammar was. You'd have thunk that Weasel was working as a court scribe instead of an accountant judging by his work! Edit: Mistaking this great match for an 8 man brawl. What on earth was I thinking?
Jim! Surely you've got the resources to get a private eye on the case! In this day and age, it's almost impossible for a person to truly disappear. He's out there somewhere, alive or passed, he can be found.
From what I understand, it’s not hard to find his contact info. Of course, I wouldn’t contact him out of respect for his privacy, but Jim could probably give it a try.
from what everyone says here in the comments , he still lives in New Albany , Indiana ... for those that are not from around here , New Albany is separated from Louisville where Corny lives by a bridge ,10-15 minutes away 😂 ... Corny not finding someone who lives thier whole life in the same city ,15 minutes away , in the internet age is like an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm
Norm and I traded tapes for years in dirt sheet days. A few years ago I reached out to Meltzer who confirmed he was still subscribing. Now that you know that you can hate him but it was a few years ago. I can’t wait to listen to this.
You know, outside wrestling this is kinda wholesome: just two friends sharing something for themself without thinking too much about what could be in the future. Like good friends working on a tabletop plot or gearheads just working in a personal custom hotrod.
Dale "TNT" Mann, the pride of Jamestown, Ky. Lanny Kean also lived there. I've got the Hogan/Lawler match on a VHS, forget what compilation it is. I think it's early Hogan stuff.
Great video, very impressed with how intricate these sheets were. Also, I truly hope you find Weasel Dooley. It would be awesome to have him on the show..
When we used to hang out at the Spectrum in Philly early in the afternoon before a WWWF show, I remember someone going around selling a legal letter size report of results from around the country. I can't remember if it was called Weasel's World, and sadly I didn't keep any.
Please react to max casters diss track on the young bucks. if you thought you liked the Acclaimed before you will be astonished by how closely they sound just like Jim 😭
This is an incredible find for sure, but honestly that story about Norman Dooley is honestly creepy. I mean, not only has he disappeared at some point between 95-99 (which means he was only in his 30s) and no one knows what has happened to him, but also tens of people that had his newsletter had all lost all their copies of it one way or another. Like, WTF... In all seriousness, I just hope that he simply moved to another town/country and lost interest in wrestling, as let us be honest, that is the best case scenario...
and apparently he's still in New Albany , Indiana where he was in the 70's ... quite a mystery that no one ever really tried very hard to solve in the internet age with google i guess until this video aired ... Corny cant find him and he still lived 15 minutes away across the bridge after all these decades 😂
Jim, if you track down Norman Dooley, you should try to get him on the show. It'd be interesting to hear what he's been up to, what he thinks of modern wrestling, etc.
These wrestling history segments are fabulous. Besides Aew reviews these type of segments are def my favorite. All the modern fans of the goofs should listen to these segments and learn what real wrestling actually is 😝.
' JIm Cornette Publications ' Start it now Jim and sell your books on your website . There's enough material in the vault for a thousand reference and photo books ✌️ ... Plus there's enough stories in Jim's head to do a ongoing series of Autobiographies 😂 Also I'd love Corny to do some comics in the same way Tony Schiavone did ✊
So Crockett was able to add Cincy to his territory when Jarrett couldn't. It would seem like Indianapolis would have been another opportunity for Jarrett to seize on when that city went dark. CWA was already doing business in Southern Indiana at the time, and was well established there. What was another few miles to grab the capitol when it was available?
... Evansville they did on wednesdays was bad enough , but still only a 5 hour trip home to memhis , and on the way back kinda from Louisville ... indianapolis was almost 200 miles farther , one way ... Lawler and the guys didnt even like doing Evansville due to the distance , but im sure they stayed over in Louisville after tuesday's show , so Evansville was doable with a 2 hour trip one way from Louisville , and was at least getting them closer to Memphis ... it could have been good money i guess , but i doubt the tv went that far and Jarrett didnt think itd draw enough to go that far and invest in more tv ... i was always blown away that they even went to Evansville , cause it always sucked from what everyone says in interviews ... id guess they only did it because they were already in Louisville , which was their #2 town for money
Back in the 60s wrestling was on. Tv every sat. It was suported by rinks bargain city. They had like a tent city mall. They had like a 100 tent. In mount heathy ohio North of cincinnati. They had 2 guys dress as cowboys during breaks on tv
Jim might be trending on Twitter soon. Ol Uncle Dave won't like the fact history doesn't see him as the inventor, creator, and only real authority of the 5-star rating. I'm sure Omega and the Hardly Boys will have some words to say too because they've never had a real 5-star match. Jim's backstories are always amazing as well as his knowledge of the past. People talk shit about Jim and his ideas, but he knows so much and has been involved in some major moments in wrestling. I also hope he can find Weasel out there somewhere.
I love thst wrestling fans sent each other prlgrsms snd tapes and other things to each other. Reminds me of music fanatics like nyseld doin tape and cd trades and metal magazine ans poster swaps. I grew up during 90s wrestling and love Cornette from.his time in the WWF and Ive stopped watching wrestling after the attitude era but i constsntly listen to Cornette and love learninf about 70s n 80s wrestling.
To show you younger viewers how things change in the early eighties my uncle owned a video store that sold VCRs and I got one at cost and it was over $400. ,🤣
yep ... before cable was popular everywhere , they made a killing on vcrs , cause they could i guess ... and for the people who wouldnt get cable for another 5-10 years they were like gold
He's probably dead. In this age of social media he would easily be found and there's absolutely ZERO reason he wouldn't want to reconnect with Jim. Reddit sleuths solve all kinda of crimes and find people constantly, I guarantee some resourceful reddit user could find out exactly where he lives or if he's dead.
Yet both of you are here announcing where it can be found, and how easily it can be found, and then you follow that up and by laughably patting yourselves on the back respecting the man's privacy??? After you just guided any of the idiots who were not smart enough to find it, on WHERE AND HOW to find it? You two are ludicrous. Way to look out for the man's privacy. What a joke. 🙄🙄 Way to crack the case, super sleuths. My 7 year old nephew could find the info you found, yet you come here and announce it. Whatever.
I would love ❤️ for you guys to call weasel up and ask him to talk about this specific topic. I bet the old Dave will come thru in flying Color’s and you guys can end the call by hanging up on him when he wants to talk about twinkle toes?!
Anyone else throw on Corny before bed? Just me? I click the Corny clips playlist and just let it go until I fall asleep.
As lame as it sounds I usually fall asleep to the Drive Thru or Experience, it's like 4 hours long and I'm out within 15-20min
Either corny or hack the movies.
Nope not just you. Sometimes I'll play episodes where he goes into long discussions about the territories. Quite relaxing to sleep to
With the four sisters on thumb street to assist as well

Not just the stars but apparently the layout, font, and tone. And going by Unca Daves opinions, those might not be his either
Im no fan of Meltzer but he stated yearsv ago that it was Weasel that started the star system.
Yeah Meltzer, ignorant as he is, has always admitted he took the star rating and layout all together from Weasels World of Wrestling.
I really don’t like Meltzer. With that being said he has always been open about Weasel’s influence on him. I have a hard time accusing Dave of stealing anything.

Now I know who the guy is from the opening of the Drive Thru ("Who's got a good friend named Weasel Do~oley, Everyone Knows it's Corny!")
More stories about Killer Corny and the unsung flunkies!!! This was me and my friends in the 90s!!!!

Listening to Cornette is like a sound bath. I let go of my brain and allow Jim to paint colors and shapes directing into my brain.
I would love ❤️ for you guys to call weasel up and ask him to talk about this specific topic. I bet the old Dave will come thru in flying Color’s and you guys can end the call by hanging up on him when he wants to talk about twinkle toes?!
5 star ahould be the standard. The Wiesel Dooley scale!
I've heard him mention weasel Dooley a lot but this the first time there a full story
I wonder if Weasel would give out 7 stars in the Tokyo Dome like Uncle Dave 🤔?
Norman Dooley is actually Jeff Bezos
I love it when Cornette casually drops the Bulldog line: "I wasn't there. It was Owen!"
Has Norman been found yet?
Norm !!!!🗣🗣🗣🗣👍👍👍💥💥👍👍
Norman was like Tommy from Martin. No Job, nobody knows what he really does lol
or Kramer from Seinfeld
I'd Like to "Thumb" Through Cornette's Favorite Pictures...that He Actually Took, Back In TheDay.
Dude’s an enigma.
