Can listen to Corny for hours. None better. You can hear the emotion in his voice when talking about Bobby. Love him or hate him, you can tell wrestling meant a lot to Corny.
I can't remember what happened last week let alone twenty to forty years ago.
@@jorel6745 He has kept books from 40 years ago which helps him tell stories better but he still has a crazy memory.
Cornette is a all times great and yes I feel him and then midnight express needs to be inducted by ricky and robert into wwe hof
I hate him !
@@mikebooth5942 Mission accomplished.
Back when tag teams were TEAMS, and not just two big names with no chemistry thrown together.
Don't you dare speak this way of RybAxel!!
Yeah I hate that! Basically anyone who was a top guy in the WWE from the late 90s with obviously a very few exceptions.
@@oelboy Lmfao
Tag Teams only work as distinct separate Segment. Only eception being owen hart and yokozuna for me.
You’re acting like the New Sharks (the Legendary Duo of Shark Boy & New Jack) didn’t exist
I wish Jim would allow somebody to come and digitize EVERY bit of tape that he has in his castle. He has so much irreplaceable relics of the past, and we need to ensure that they live on forever.
Jimbo is at his best when speaking of wrestling early days he definitely needs a documentary or movie on his life. Rest In Peace Beautiful Bobby Eaton and Donna Dundee Eaton.
I looked up the death of Bobby and his wife Donna after reading this comment. It's so sad, he had been with her for almost 40 years and when she died in 2021 he was gone about 6 weeks later. Can't imagine how he felt after he lost her. Truly one one of the good guys in a business filled with not so good guys.
Wow RIP to them both. 🕯🕯
80s was not the early days of wrestling
Dennis condrey was a massively underrated heel. Loved his work
He definitely was. Great wrestler
you are right. i think if the midnight express hadn't been so strong and Corny smart about how to present them after dennis had left people would show more respect for Condrey. but because the team barreled forward it was almost like he was just a cog in the machine
Loved watching the Midnight Express as a kid. Their matches were always entertaining. RIP Bobby.
The Midnight Express is the greatest tag team ever & Corny is the best & funniest manager of all time! 💯
Heenan is the best of all-time, even Jim admits that, but he's a close second.
IMO cornette is the best since I wanted to attack him myself every time I seen him at the shows.Heenan just really pissed me off.
He’d be pissed to hear you call him funny.
@@armryl No he wouldn't. lol He called himself funny, but not in a business exposing, idiotic style.
I gave you a 👍but that honor belongs to the Road Warriors. Or the Steiners.
I’ve been watching some old Mid-South lately and the Midnight Express have been phenomenal. Truly an all time great tag team.
Growing up in North Carolina I saw mostly the Carolinas or GCW territories, but love watching the Mid-South (and Southeastern too) videos. Liked WCCW also but never cared for WWF.
Good see here Scott😂, I see you in The Jd's Live chats 😂
@@toxiciwctweets5191 yeah man. I’ve been subbed to Corny for a while. I love cornette
Corny is underrating himself in mid-south a bit I feel. He was better than a lot of others just starting out.
100% correct
He’s a lot better than a lot of new guys, but he’s comparing himself in MidSouth to himself with another year or two of experience.
Cornett needs to give HIMSELF more props.
I think corny is rating his self by maybe his own merit? We all know this man can cut a promo and as I've said before, as natural as breathing. I think he's just being humble.
He was green as fuck in mid south
Every time I hear Jim cornette cry it always gets me crying.
😕
these episodes were hard to listen to, i cant imagine how many times they probably both had to cut the program just to compose themselves
THE biggest difference between the days gone by and "modern wrestling" back then it was a brotherhood. RIP Bobby
I love how easy it is to obtain tar and a ton of feathers in the south. 😂👍
It’s that easy anywhere, if you think about it. Any hardware store has roofing tar, and feathers can be bought anywhere pillows are sold
@@jimwhitt but who needs pillow stores when you got chicken farms? Much cheaper than a pallet of pillows that still have feathers in them.
Probably dark Karo syrup
Beautiful Bobby was a great guy a tag team specialist and a hell of a single star
I got the biggest kick 15 years ago or so hearing Stone Cold called Beautiful Bobby one of his favorites!
Great guy outside the ring. Met him once in Orange Beach, AL. He was a gentleman
Nothing Sweeter than Bobby's Alabama Jam
Growing up, I always referred to Bobby as the “Alabama Jamma.” 😂
I hated Jim Cornette growing up, he done his job well, Bobby and Dennis were two of the greatest wrestlers to lace up their boots. Now that I’m older I will say Jim Cornette is on of the greatest managers ever. Love to hear his stories now, thank you Jim for the best wrestling of the eighties and nineties I’ve ever witnessed.
I grew up on WWF, but would watch wcw at my grandparents, and Bobby Eaton was the best to my chubby little 9 year old self. Gone but not forgotten.
Loved the rivalry between the expresses!
I've often said this before,my only regret moving from Houston to Calif. in '83 with my family was that i missed out on the next hottest thing next to JYD in the Midnight/Rock n'Roll fued.My cousin was sending me tapes of these boys doing some of the sweetest stuff i had ever seen,and with Cornys' type of heat i would experience later on WTBS,that would have put tops on my best live moments at that Coliseum or anywhere then and since short of Andre.R.I.P. Bobby and rest easy,soldier.
Have a great day and Midnight from Tampa Florida
Without you Jim, wrestling wouldn't be the same. Everyone hated you so bad. You did a great job at that..r.i.p .bobby. and now your continuing with history..and stories. Thank you.
Jim Cornette was on the right moment on the right time.
Corny cracking at bit @5:03. I love what a deep feeling person he is
hard to hear is it not, you can really tell the passion this group had together in what they we're trying to accomplish
never heard corny "the hug" origin story. it was an incredible part of their presentation, especially for heels, esp in the 80s, esp in the south it was just a heat magnet
RIP. Mr and Mrs Bobby Eaton
Dennis Condrey wasn't "fixed in the Tennessee territories". Before 1984, he had also worked in Georgia, Mid-Atlantic, and for Fuller's Southeastern which went beyond Tennessee. He also did a tour in eastern canada. What allowed him to work in Tennessee for so long was that, in that era, there were three different promotions in kind of the same area that he could move between. Moving between the three and changing up his tag-team partners ever couple years kept him reasonably fresh for about nine years.
Give yourself credit corny. Midnight in Midsouth were fantastic!
Growing up around Alexandria Louisiana during this era was great. This was definitely my favorite era.
The M.E. and Mr Cornette played the perfect heel in Mid South. When they first appeared, the duo faced two tomato cans (Mike Jackson and I forget?). The teamwork and technical aspect of their chemistry was something nobody has ever seen before. Dropped elbow off the top rope was the M.E. finishing move. Who has ever done that before those guys? Nobody. The Road Warriors actually copied them, except they were much bigger. The M.E. and Mr Cornette never got the recognition they deserved. Should be in the HOF.
I lived in Tulsa all my life. I went to every Monday nite I could. My fav teams were the midnite express , doc and teddy and the freebirds. Great times.
How many fans did you see attack the wrestlers?
The tar and feathering of Magnum TA was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen in wrestling the ultimate heel trick to intimidate a wrestler and put a wrestler in his place too bad more of this type of stuff doesn’t happen always loved it when the midnight express ran in and did something to their opponents when their opponents weren’t ready classic midnight express thank you Jim Cornett Dennis Condrey rest in peace Bobby Eaton for being one of the greatest tag teams in professional wrestling history and I’m so very sorry that your friend Bobby passed away ☘️🤘🇺🇸
I could listen to Corny for hrs 🥃
Did Corny just mention a 30 DVD Midnight collection? Where can we get this ?!
It's not legit. It's some bootleg thing someone sent him.
I was the 10th view. I've never been this on top of anything in my life ever.
Including a woman?
Jim will go down as the one of the very best, So it is written so it shall be done
Ya'll will always have the respect and loyalty of and for one another whether on this Earth or the next life... Cherish your memories as long as you can... We are not promised tomorrow...
Cornette for the HOF!!!!
Cm punk posted watching Bobby Eaton today
impressed how jim kept his composure here
I first became aware of Cornette and the Express around 1984 then they were in World Class Championship Wrestling. I'm almost positive in all the years of watching him I don't think I heard Bobby Eaton say no more than 20 words.
I don't know I still don't see the thing with Magnum TA but I think it's really huge and humble of Jim to always think that he can do better and putting over Bobby like how we did
I love their music.. Top 5 ever fo sho
No such thing as homophobic
Grew up watching Dennis in Southeastern (Dothan TV). Scary good!
Love him or hate him. He is so knowledgeable about the business he loved. Back in the day. Just listening to him set up a match is amazing. HE IS THE BEST THERE IS. THE BEST THERE WAS. AND THE BEST THERE EVER WILL BE
If i believed in religion which i dont, well i believe its a scam, but nonetheless,if i had to join a religion its goin to be here brothers...Cult of Cornette 4 ever.. Thanks Jim and Brian.This show is real therapy for alot of 8
Its funny that Corny underrates himself like that because if he did those early promos today, they would be the sensation of the wrestling business and have people talking about how great they are just because they would stand out so much.
He never comes across as being humble with abilities tbh.
Sorry to hear about your partner jim the midnight express are legendary
I often click on these to hear what the pictures mean.
I guess the dark side is a black part of town. How clever
If you ever get to meet Jim Cornette in person and want to talk about a subject he loves to talk about,over and over again, just mention the midnight express. Personally I’d rather mention Vince Russo and how jim blew his knees out at Starrcade 1986. It would just be funnier. Then I’ll mention midnight to calm him down,
Typically I don't listen to Cornettes for other reason but had too this full episode and it's hard not to be teary eyed. I'm really glad I did because in the past year or so I've discovered alot of the Midnight Expresses work and they are one of the greatest tag teams of all time. I sincerely hope 40th anniversary Cornette rereleased the legendary book on the Midnights. God bless Bobby Eaton, Rest in Peace and Thank you for everything you've contributed to wrestling.
Magnum was lost when he quit wrestling the only reason he was where he was is because he was dusty Rhodes friend and croket liked him but a wrestling champion no he didn't have it
Corny in mid South >>>>> What Corny said about him
cornette, your light years ahead. swerve em for the love of it all and A REAL PARADIGM SHIFT. I want to see you RETURN TO THE RING.
Sorry to ruin your hopes and dreams but he's never gonna return. He's 60.
