      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.

    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. 🙏🏻

    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.
    MSM makes Trump to be a hated heel
    And Biden etc to be the Babyface
    And cornette is a huge Demo-Maniac!! Lol
    If you think I'm stupid to make the comparison ... 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.
    Joe Biden .... 🦗*Crickets* 🦗
    I think just a blind spot but still I lol when he breaks down the argument for Scott and how in depth it is.
