Jim won't ever stick to history, although he should because he is the only one still giving history lessons regularly. Look at the comments and views on this, 1/10th the comments, 1/4 the views as some video on Dave or AEW.

The old stories are what hooked me years back, even the mrs got into it since jim tells such a great story. Cant enjoy the modern reviews so much now a days, just too much yelling and cussing at times, but i still respect what jim and brian put together each week.

Jim breaks it down so perfectly & sometimes, seemingly, second by second also. Such a great historian & absolute true student to his craft. There's a few who look back to the past like Jim Ross, Tony Shiavone & Dutch Mantell on the respective podcasts, but, nobody does it perfectly like Jim Cornette. Thank you Mr. Cornette for enlightening us & thank you Mr. Last for additional questions & uploading these podcasts. 🙏🏻

The best story telling on KZread

Another day going back 40 years with Jim Cornette blessed and cursed to see all from 1980-Now

Thank you for presenting more territory segments lately, it is truly appreciated.

You know, the Midnight Express origin story would make a great movie. If someone could partner with Corny to write the screenplay

My question is what ever happened to Jerry Calhoun, did he have a day job and referee on the side? Carl Fergie grew up behind my grandfather’s house, his parents rented a house/barn from my grandfather and the house was by the barn lot so he was out there with the animals.

More territory topics. Crazy that i can remember some of the storylines and odd/end wrestlers in Memphis at the time. Great show.

I love picturing " I blew up watching dundee act out the finishes" . Also, this is the first time in 30 years I've heard why Norvell wasn't included in the mid south midnight express. I wonder what kind of a grudge he holds.

Love these throwbacks it’s what drew me to Jim in the beginning.

Crazy to know he worked in Princeton Indiana.

I wasn't even one when all this happened, and despite growing up in Statesville, NC, I knew only of WWF. I always love hearing these stories about all the wrestling I knew nothing about until I was in my teens and it was only distant history.

I can understand JC's loyalty to Watts even today...he took a young unproven manager that was barely surviving as the 2nd heel mgr in Memphis and gave him a shot to earn real money

I'm glad they're posting more classic wrestling talk. Weekly videos on AEW ratings get fucking boring and repetitive

I feel old I was 8 months old when you were doing this schedule

Man. A fucking tv-show about Jim Cornette's experiences and shit. Just saying Jim, this could be big. I don't think I've ever seen a movie or tv-show about the wrestling business. Like this is the best time to do it since everything's already exposed.

I absolutely adore these stories from the 70s and 80s. Especially the territory days prior to Vince Jr going national and JCP basically funding Wrestlemania which would prove to be the beginning of the end for the NWA as a whole

Yes classic stuff👏

It blows my mind that Jim drove hundreds of miles to make 50 bucks lol but then again I guess $50 went a lot further back then.

1983 better times

Tony Khan could use Jerry Lawler. Just assign him the task of training wrestlers. Guys under contract who need help and whoever else who might come to Lawler.

I mean that's pretty impressive and that tells me a lot when territories are running a and b shows business was definitely good.. I think it's yes it would take some time but you can bring fans back around pick up new or younger fans and definitely have a good strong territory today.. as long as you can get it on TV or streaming apps today .. trust me I wish they could hit a rest button retrain the talent on how to get over my goodness make wrestling holds moves matter more they need to get out of the business of having to hit your finishing move 30 times once or twice is fine lol

Good timing as I'm here right away. Will take this opportunity to say I love cornette and he's a wrestling genius. But his politics suck lol Imo MSM ( Fox too - I'm equal opportunity hater ) are like old 70s wrestling. Built to play on emotions to 😵‍💫 as opposed to fill seats for the house show. Cornette is still 😵‍💫 by it all He's like one of the last wave guys who believed wrestling was fully legit and would get angry if someone said otherwise. But with the NEWS instead of NWA wrestling.

Maybe I am but remember that Ted Turner who built his whole empire on Wrestling ... He also began CNN and cable news. Coincidence??? -EDIT- Also ... It cracks me up that JC can spot (correctly imo) George Scott slipping into the Alzheimer's fog when he came to book WCW in late 80's and he has obviously come to that conclusion after a good amount of thought on the matter.
