I miss Corny, JJ, Gary Hart, Jimmy hart, Heenan and Captain Lou!
Georgia, florida, mid- atlantic, wccw, alabama, mid south, pacific northwest,central states, awa grew up watching all of em and they all are greatly missed.
Loved the interview and stories guys, thank you for sharing with us the fans.
I really miss southern wrestling , call it NWA, WCW (until they signed Hogan), SMW, USWA, what ever version you want but the wrestling world is greatly missing that style now. I hate that WCW had to be shut down, they at least called them selves pro wrestling. I stopped watching WWE over 10 years ago but I when I do stop and see what they are doing I see it's just sad . They are ashamed to be called pro wrestling and they actually call the guys "actors" not wrestlers. I wish some of the guys like Jim Cornette, Jim Ross, JJ Dillon, Kevin Sullivan , etc. would get together and try to start a promotion in the south, for the south. It doesn't have to compete with WWE, Fuck a Monday Night War, it would just be for pro wrestling fans.
Doesn't have to be just the south! I want this style back too and I am from the deep north. Minutes from Canada. Just want and need old school wrestling back in whatever the best form of that is. Even the kayfabe to whatever extent it can be applied now.
At one time, AWA had that lo-fi fight club quality, like they were broadcasting matches from a smokey basement at the local VFW, too. That era passed when Vince Jr started making his kids shows. That old southern wrestling had a danger and an enthusiasm from the small studio crowd that made things pop. I'm not certain when can return to that era when the we believed the animosity was real, and the fights seemed personal.
No love for the Fullers??
JJ Dillon is the manager with the most range--for he could shoot a great comedy bit, like when Ricky Steamboat et al unpanted him, and he has those prescription undergarments because of his phlebitis, and he could shoot serious angles as well.
Same with the Brain. Both could take bumps better than most wrestlers.
@@danielyates6275 I saw JJ in Greensboro in 85 when he was doing the bullrope matches. He could take one hell of a bump.
I've noticed Jim is curbing his language in this interview. Only one F-Bomb in the first 25 minutes. I can only take that as being sincere and heart felt respect for Mr. Dillon.
This interview is the language counterpart of the Rip Rogers interview. It's like both of them were having an f bomb competition.
The truth is, the reason WCW was always better than WWF is because, like Jim said, they played the angle, then let the guys go out and interview and make it real and create the heat. This is why I always say the WCW was a much more talented group. There were good, talented guys in WWF, but they weren't used properly and weren't as many. I always wanted WCW to win the war.

WCW had talented guys and misused them just as much as WWF did....they even paid them well when they weren't using them on TV
PHUS Travel Not WCW.....NWA. The WWF was always the worst actual in ring action promotion out there. Great production and marketing horrible wrestling. Even the WWWF was bad. Soft rings, short matches, comical, and just wasn't believable.
I grew up with mid-south wrestling. When the WWF went nationwide in the early 80's I could barely watch it. When I have watch old WWWF matches from the 70's, it was clearly an inferior presentation with a few exceptions like some of Bruno's matches. Superstar Billy Graham matches were garbage with no real wrestling. That style and lack of a "story line" has continued today in the WWE. The attitude era, while it was entertaining, ruined wrestling. Once all the rules were broken, there was no where to go. Now even the WWE is having to start over and try to rebuild but it's too scripted with the wrestlers having little to no say in their character or story.
PHUS Travel who is still in business??.. Asking for a friend.
When it boils down to it it's a business.. and the point of running a business is to make money.. the wwf made more money for a reason. . How many household names did the wwf make in the 80s? How many did nwa make? On a worldwide level.. wwf may have seemed less legit but it never was a real sport. . Vince had the right idea.. hence the reason the wwf was and always will be king
I love Jim Cornette in moderation. JJ, on the other hand, I could have be my inner monologue or narrate my entire life.
Thats funny cuz I am the opposite. Cornette is mine.
And I am from Minnesota lol
Two of my favorite managers ever.
thanks guys really awesome
I liked JJ when he was in WCW
Attention all jj dillon fans. He now has his own podcast. How do I know? Because I just saw it on my Twitter page on the mlw network Twitter page. I subscribed immediately. Now he has joined other podcasters like stone cold Steve Austin, Jim Ross, Jim cornette, Jerry the King Lawler, and Tony schiavone. When you go to iTunes or your podcast app, just type up the jj dillon show.
Cornette is the best.
Dusty had more soul that a lot of black dudes
You can tell he is reading from a script at points
