Vince dressed as the prisoner I believe in 1995. It was a year after he won the trial and I'll never forget Lawler saying "That's a nice costume McMahon, too bad it took you a year to wear it!" McMahon had this mean stare at Lawler after that 😆
Yeah it was a Halloween episode of Raw. Razor vs Owen for the IC title in the main event and Jim did an in-ring interview along with Davey conducted by Vince in costume
I enjoyed those Halloween specials during the Ruthless Aggression Era. Stephanie McMahon dressed as a witch, John Cena rapping for the first time, and the all so memorable Monster Mash Battle Royal. The WWE really knew how to put on entertaining holiday shows back then.
I just watched HH ‘90 on peacock yesterday: Jim Ross was Al Capone Paul heyman was Dracula Tony Schiavone was they phantom of the opera There were no costumes in the HH 89
I just watched AEW Jim Ross and Tony looked like themselves. Their play by play guy on the other hand lives his 3rd rate gimmick and wears a Halloween mask 24/7- 365 🤡EXCREMENT CALIBUR!👈💩🙊
I remember that Saturday's Night Main Event. Piper made up bowling balls and wrapped them up like candy apples. As a kid I thought it was funny. Hell, as an adult I still think it is funny.
A very happy 15th marriage anniversary to the king and queen of Castle Cornette, and a happy Halloween to Jim, Stacey, and all the fine members of the cult of Cornette!
Apples were the first thing that got banned as Halloween treats back in the '70's. Every year there was news stories about apples with straight pins, razor blades or sewing needles pushed into them being given out. Might have just been myths but it was also the end of fruit and home baked goodies as Halloween treats.
It's late in the day but there might just be time enough, if someone could convince Vince to give us, his adoring audience, this uber dream match of all dream matches. Come on, Vince, be a sport.
Now I need to search for this Saturday Night Main Event because I have to see Iron Sheik as Batman and Roddy Piper giving out bowling balls. My favorite holiday thing is when Mick Foley and Debra tried to have Thanksgiving dinner and everybody ended up having a food fight including JR.
Damn Jim just out here wishing death on kids who ate an apple on Halloween. I hated when someone gave out pennies or bags of mini pretzels. Those were the worst people imaginable. In South Philly the Italian Mob houses always handed out dollar bills or full size candy bars.
Jim's probably referring to Rooster Griffin (not John Wayne's Rooster Cogburn of the movies), whom I saw on Bruiser's tv's in the mid-1980s. The Rooster grappled and also managed, but he couldn't have weighed more than 170 pounds. And everyone remembers Kenny Dillinger, who also worked in the WWA, from the early 70s in the tag team The Chain Gang.
I remember getting things like tooth brushes and little bibles for Halloween instead of candy. Those people probably ended up getting their houses tp’d or egged.
I sure hope they did. Especially if they didn't give out any candy at all and only toothbrushes or Bibles. Those people would have to be some insufferable, self-righteous assholes.
My favorite holiday oriented wrestling angle was Michael Hayes dressed as Santa. It seems like he played Santa the entire night just to sneak attack and beat the shit out of mike von Erich well into the card.
🎉i loved the nostalgic feel of hearing jim cornette talk about my favorite wrestling experience as a kid with wcw halloween havoc. 😊thanks for the memories
People forget Lawler didn't just have Lord Humungous, or even "original" monsters like Kamala, but he also had "regular" monsters like Bam Bam Bigelo. Lot's of variety in Memphis. Some of those originals, like Kamala, actually had longevity too.
Cornette comes onto this show and explains why Vince KILLED the Territories...by introducing fun elements. Wrestlers can dress up like commies, strippers, rock stars etc 360 days out of the year but by God how dare someone dress up for Halloween! Don't wanna mock the business!
Happy haunted anniversary to Jim and Stacey. I don't really go in for the luminous plastic junk side of halloween (although I am a lifelong aficionado of junk b-movies and whatnot). However ... I don't begrudge others celebrating it in their own way and I think that house show trick-or-treat caper, for all Jim and Brian's delinquent cynicism, to lay something like that on for the kids is a true touch of class. And any wrestlers who begrudged participating need a kick up the class.
I had an EEG on the same machine as Jake the Snake like a week after he was there. I was so excited, I thought maybe I'd find one of his chest hairs, but, yeah, it's a hospital, they clean off the table. No hat.
Jim Herd logic: "They're the SOUTHERN Boys so we're going to have you dress up as a Confederate General to antagonize them". Surely, Jim should have dressed as a Union General.
I think the only real use of a Halloween "introduction" that worked was WCW's Halloween Phantom. At the time no one had expected it to be Rick Rude but when he showed it was obvious to everyone and it worked. The reveal was actually a real star reveal not just a popcorn fart.
Halloween is probably the most fitting holiday that can mix with professional wrestling if done right. Over the top, adults and kids equally acting an ass, it's perfect. Christmas is unavoidable and always cringe. It will always be done whether it's 3 weeks or 3 days before the actual day but Halloween, aside from Havoc PPV's, typically only gets into wrestling if it falls on the day of like it did for Raw this year.
Rainsville AL! Thanks Jim for mentioning the venue near my childhood hometown where I got to experience my first professional wrestling shows I think there were 6 appearances there by the NWA/WCW crew from February 1990, May 1990, November 1990, March 1991, April 1991, and finally January 1992 the last one held there (reason I know is I got to go to all of them and still have most of my old ticket stubs and a couple souvenirs that I saved in an old trunk that's at my mom's somewhere put up) and I got to see TV tapings of the Power Hour and The Main Event and Worldwide shows from that time 1990 to 1992 ( I was between 12 and 14 years old at that time and those were amazing performances and it was still true old school wrestling then and even in person which is the hardest to convince a live audience of a gimmick or believe in real "heat" between the two competitors but these guys were consumate professionals and it was worth every penny of the price of admission) but anyway thanks for the shout-out Corny!
I find professional wrestling to be very boring, I haven't paid much attention for the last 30 years, but I find Jim Cornette very entertaining when he talks about it
@@gsesquire3441 You might think it's lame now, but I bet the 7yo you would most probably have loved it. Wrestling is something most people get into young, or they never get into it at all. Don't you want more fans of wrestling? You always need something to hook new people in, and targetting kids using comic book characters isn't the worst way to do that.
For next years Halloween we need to come up with an actual All Friends Wrestling Mascot i'm talking a comic book character that encapsulates the essence of AFW
Lol JR wearing a Toga @ Wrestlemania 9 was absolutely hilarious and anyone Remember When he mentioned that when he turned heel that was during the Reveal of Fake razor on Raw in 1996 that was absolutely hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

damn how do i not remember this
I started watching wrestling around this time. The orange ring and black/orange ropes from Havoc 90 hold a special place in my heart.
Halloween and wrestling will always go hand in hand for me.
I enjoyed those Halloween specials during the Ruthless Aggression Era. Stephanie McMahon dressed as a witch, John Cena rapping for the first time, and the all so memorable Monster Mash Battle Royal. The WWE really knew how to put on entertaining holiday shows back then.
The Battle Royal was a mess as expected but the vignettes were amazing.
The only good thing about that was Stephanie’s tig ol’ bitties
I just watched HH ‘90 on peacock yesterday:
Jim Ross was Al Capone
Paul heyman was Dracula
Tony Schiavone was they phantom of the opera
There were no costumes in the HH 89

Happy anniversary, Mr. and Mrs. Cornette. Hope it makes it to a centennial.
I remember that Saturday's Night Main Event. Piper made up bowling balls and wrapped them up like candy apples. As a kid I thought it was funny. Hell, as an adult I still think it is funny.
I was never a Piper enthusiast but I must admit, that's funny.
I believe that was filmed at Vince’s house. Plus that had a young Stephanie McMahon as one of the trick or treaters.
@@JasonL77 then her best friend Andre the Giant ate all her candy lol.
The kids knew Piper was going to try and pull something. So they had chocolate covered hot peppers in their bags.
That 1989 Havoc was the only PPV that I ever bought.
Remember JR dressed up as a sailor next to Taz….. good times
18:34
The Mummy was Ron Wright… but the Yet-Tayyyy was Ron Reis.
I believe it may have been Tony, not Jim, dressed as the Phantom of the Opera.
I thought it was Tony too
It was. JR was Capone, Paul was Dracula, Tony was Phantom of The Opera.
Happy Halloween everybody!
Happy Halloween!
I liked Halloween Havoc. They dressed up in costumes but I never saw it as hokey. Then again I was like 9. 👻
“Kid who eats an apple for Halloween deserves what he gets.” 😂🤣😂🤣 “What find of NARC are they!”😂😂😂
That is hysterical
The whole ring looked like a Reese's cup made me crack up 😂
😂
Kevin Nash as Oz coming to the ring with mask on & Kevin Sullivan as wizard as well
Nice artwork by Travis of Jim, Vince and Hannibal!
In wrestling: Punch bowl = getting dumped on someone's head.
Cake is going into someone's face.
Trophy is getting smashed.
Whoever put David Schultz, the Prime Minister of Kayfabe, in a Riddler outfit, smh.
At Halloween Havoc 90 Jim Ross was dressed as Al Capone and Paul Heyman was a vampire
Pretty sure Ross was supposed to be Dick Tracy, which would make sense since that was the big summer movie of 1990.
The apple thing is a conspiracy by big candy to eliminate fruit from the trick or treat game.
16:39
Lawler didn't have a Michael Myers… but he had a Leatherface!
A very happy 15th marriage anniversary to the king and queen of Castle Cornette, and a happy Halloween to Jim, Stacey, and all the fine members of the cult of Cornette!
@@Kingmaker33 Oh, my fault. It's an enjoyable time for everyone. Thanks a lot. 🎃
Halloween, the only day of the year cosplay wrestling is (somewhat) acceptable
Because you are racist
@@thexboxcriminal360 🤣🤣🤣
If the stuff going on in Memphis went on today they'd so get sued by the movie studios.
"Heel mummy" isn't a term I thought I'd ever hear....lol
Does that mean there's a Babyface mummy?
Road Warriors vs. Hunchback
An unbeatable team against a team that couldn't be pinned = Still be wrestling 30 years later!

Every year there was news stories about apples with straight pins, razor blades or sewing needles pushed into them being given out. Might have just been myths but it was also the end of fruit and home baked goodies as Halloween treats.
Vince was the prisoner, his cellmate was Nailz
It's late in the day but there might just be time enough, if someone could convince Vince to give us, his adoring audience, this uber dream match of all dream matches. Come on, Vince, be a sport.
Now I need to search for this Saturday Night Main Event because I have to see Iron Sheik as Batman and Roddy Piper giving out bowling balls.

If you find it let me know
Piper wrapped up the bowling balls to look like candy apples.
I remember seeing Gorilla Monsoon dressed up as Brother Love on Prime Time Wrestling one year.
I remember they had Prichard dress like JR one year. Now we need JR to dress up as Gorilla to complete the trifecta
The Brain was dressed as the Genius
They didn't mention that the Samoan Swat Team (managed by Paul E Dangerously Heyman) had the Halloween theme as their entrance music.
I thought that was badass as a kid .
I remember when Spivey, Sid, Norman the Lunatic kicked the Ding-Dongs asses, pulled off their masks, never seen again.
Happy anniversary Jim and Stacy. 🎉
And Harley too🐶
Bishop was the phantom of the Opera
Damn Jim just out here wishing death on kids who ate an apple on Halloween. I hated when someone gave out pennies or bags of mini pretzels. Those were the worst people imaginable. In South Philly the Italian Mob houses always handed out dollar bills or full size candy bars.
Went out trick or treating last night. Someone gave my son coughdrops instead of candy.
Happy Anniversary JC & SC!!
Hope those people's house got toilet papered

We had a wrestler in the Memphis area named Rooster Cogburn. Enhancement guy on TV. That’s who Jim is referring to.
Wait... you telling me that Jerry Lawler loved Freddy Kruger and Jason Voorhees but hated Michael Myers? WTF, King?
I can’t find any pics or videos of Vince in the prison costume. Someone help 😩
I remember Colossus of Death. He held Lawler in a full Nelson whilst Kaufman punched him in the face.
I remember getting things like tooth brushes and little bibles for Halloween instead of candy. Those people probably ended up getting their houses tp’d or egged.
LOL, yes and dont forget the ones handing out pennies. They were giving out ammunition to trick or treaters.
I sure hope they did. Especially if they didn't give out any candy at all and only toothbrushes or Bibles. Those people would have to be some insufferable, self-righteous assholes.
My favorite holiday oriented wrestling angle was Michael Hayes dressed as Santa. It seems like he played Santa the entire night just to sneak attack and beat the shit out of mike von Erich well into the card.

Then be fashionably ⏰ late next time

I was 8-10 years old during that Halloween Havoc area. It was SOOOOO cool!
I'm debating on whether to go to Raw tonight. They have 26 dollar tickets available
Big pop for Reesey cup !!
Epic Jim.
Hey Mr C and Stacey, happy anniversary to you both
People forget Lawler didn't just have Lord Humungous, or even "original" monsters like Kamala, but he also had "regular" monsters like Bam Bam Bigelo. Lot's of variety in Memphis. Some of those originals, like Kamala, actually had longevity too.
I wear my normal every day costume + my hand painted Hitman Bret Hart leather jacket every year when I take my kids trick 'r treating.
Cornette comes onto this show and explains why Vince KILLED the Territories...by introducing fun elements.
Wrestlers can dress up like commies, strippers, rock stars etc 360 days out of the year but by God how dare someone dress up for Halloween! Don't wanna mock the business!
If Hurd actually wanted Ric Flair to become “Spartacus” he’d obviously never seen “Spartacus.”
Happy haunted anniversary to Jim and Stacey.
I don't really go in for the luminous plastic junk side of halloween (although I am a lifelong aficionado of junk b-movies and whatnot). However ... I don't begrudge others celebrating it in their own way and I think that house show trick-or-treat caper, for all Jim and Brian's delinquent cynicism, to lay something like that on for the kids is a true touch of class.

Happy Halloween to everyone in the cult!
Ahhhhh, said “CHAOS” again! Thank You CORNY for the consistent “props” & putting me “over”!
I had an EEG on the same machine as Jake the Snake like a week after he was there. I was so excited, I thought maybe I'd find one of his chest hairs, but, yeah, it's a hospital, they clean off the table. No hat.
I popped for "without a hood" lol. Jesus Corny...
Happy Halloween, Jim and Brian!
Shut up
Happy anniversary
Jim Herd logic: "They're the SOUTHERN Boys so we're going to have you dress up as a Confederate General to antagonize them". Surely, Jim should have dressed as a Union General.
Yes but they don't have any Union General uniforms in Atlanta.
Happy Anniversary Stacy and Jim Cornette

Gobbelty Gooker should go over to AEW and face MFJ and Moxley
he'd unironcally have more name value than a big chunk of their current roster

My dad handed out Apples for Halloween in the early 70s and some of the kids smashed them on the sidewalk
Happy Anniversary Jim and Stacy
🎃😈🖤💀🦇👻
Happy Halloween Jim and Brian
The apple part tho 🤣🤣. Bryan trying to put the apple over 😂😂😂 Happy Anniversary to the Cornettes.
Jim's response was awesome. "Well, in that case, then, fuck anybody that just gives somebody a fucking apple for Halloween."🤣
Raw had a Halloween gimmick match.
I find professional wrestling to be very boring, I haven't paid much attention for the last 30 years, but I find Jim Cornette very entertaining when he talks about it
TK going to dress up as CM Punk.
I have The Ding Dongs baseball card!
Happy annniversary Jim and Stacy
i was about to say couldnt you get a submission on the hunchbacks? but he immediately answered it
Submissions were rare back then. They didn't become common in wrestling until MMA popularized the concept.
No mention of The Missing Link??
George The Animal Steel?? Youuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Slurp.
Mr Fugi?? The best Halloween parties. Amateurs!
Harold Lloyd knew how to take a bump.
Don’t let gene know about the KISS thing, he’ll go after lawler for residuals
Maybe Tony khan will dress as a canned ham
The Hunchbacks? You can't be serious lol
WCW really was something, wasn't it?
Muta fascinated me as a kid in the pre-internet era.
Why hasn't the Yeti been brought up? Didn't that happen at a Halloween Havock? That was so fng bad.
It’s be waayyyyy funnier if Tony Kahn dressed as powerhouse Hobbs…… is blackface ok if your Pakistani)
Ik this is stupid but when did 6ft become normal height lmaoo
The Ding-Dongs!
"Without a hood now".........lmfao
So when is Jim gonna dress up as FDR and ride in Stacey’s LaSalle?
Wendy for her Chewbacca costume!
Congratulations Jim & Stacey!
since fans are "smart" now, why no one has done a "Heel-oween" show is beyond me, people prefer heels now anyway (when they do it right, anyway)

AEW could do a DC characters themed night, given they have a deal with Discovery Warner.
