How there isn’t a Dark Side of The Ring episode about Billy Jack Haynes, I will never know.
Bound to be one coming up in some degree 😂
They were waiting for the story’s finale
There is always a reason
One at a time bro.. One at a time.
There will be
The best thing about Jim singing is, just when ya think it's over there's another verse.
His singing is as bad as his politics.
@@nonyabusiness9192 I'm sure yours are soooo much better.
@@nonyabusiness9192 stay assmad, kiddo. His politics are perfect and deep down you know that. #FuckTrump
@@nonyabusiness9192 Kick rocks, MAGAt
@@nonyabusiness9192Brian Last singing is probably just as bad if not worse. Brian always gets annoyed when Jim sings but I doubt Brian can do better.
I cannot wait for The Trial of Billy Jack.

Good one!🤗
It won’t happen he’ll be found crazy
@@theghostofrethsich2813 That was the name of a movie.
He’s the type of guy who’d figure out a way to unalive himself in custody.
How many people have said “if I get to that point just shoot me.”
Many say she was ready to go.
Brian hates Jim singing.. There was a moment once when Jim was singing Little Lies by Fleetwood Mac and Brian genuinely sounded like he was losing the will to live! 😂😂😂
I hate Jim singing too.
He gets so mad 😂
Its a torture device for the modern age Cornette Karaoke
He's soft as cotton anyway, a total mark.
Don't quit your day job, Jim 🤣🤣🤣
"Billy 'Jerk' Haynes." - Bobby Heenan
billy "wack"haynes - barry windham
@@eddiethomas1156 Billy beat the shit out of Barry, Blackjack walked in, and just turned around and left.
@@cb3648 yup...billy jack wasnt to be ribbed or generally messed with at all...but i think its pretty. safe to say billy "whack" was a pretty fair assessment of the guy considering all the things we have heard from others and out of his own mouth
Heenan was right as always.
Jim singing,and Brians disgust/agony at said singing, will never cease to be hilarious!
About 15 years ago I was shopping in Gresham Oregon when i heard this guy ranting out in front of the store. I didn't pay too much attention to him, but I noticed that he was a pretty big dude. When I was leaving the store there were a couple cop cars and apparently they were taking him away. One of the people standing out there said it was Billy Jack and that he was a constant problem around the area for his public outbursts.
When Fred Meyers had a store on 82nd and Foster. Billy Jack Haynes was kicked out from the store for being an asshole.
He was on drugs. He’s actually a very sweet guy

Saving up to have Corny sing at my wedding & funeral. Voice of an angel 👼🏼
I wouldn't be bothered, firstly you're never getting married and secondly there'll be no one at your funeral to hear him
@@buffalobillsbasket122weirdo
I smell a future Dark Side of the Ring episode
Id definately watch if they did one.
We'll probably have a whole season worth of stories before the year is over .
Seasons?? We are looking at years worth of content.. 😂@@clamstrips
Season?! We will have years of content..
They better capitalize
CTE! He's been off his rocker for years. The news said they can't give more info until he's moved from the hospital. There's something more to the story we don't know yet. He's been in the hospital since they "pulled him out of the house"
Yeah, apparently he had been in and out of the emergency room in the weeks leading up to the incident. Potentially for psychiatric stuff, too.
My very uninformed guess is maybe they decided to commit suicide together, and he got cold feet for the second step.
Billy "Jack" Haynes was always something else. I remember learning later he was "Blackblood" in early 90s WCW. He never stayed anywhere. R.I.P. Mrs Billy Haynes
Billy Jack in a shoot interview said he was going to murder Vince McMahon at a arena after he showed up and didn't get on the show
Apparently Bryan Adams ribbed him into showing up.
Billy went to his car, got his gun, and sat in the car like a psychopath waiting.
Vince almost never got to the Attitude era.
Its on UA-cam now. I think he said Hercules Hernandez convinced him not to do it.
The guy was problem real life locker room knock out Mike Sharp no reason had drug problem roid rage ...and there people defending him with Vince
Considering Vince’s recent history, Billy Jack could have killed him and made Vince a martyr. No way Vince dies a hero now.
@@markhutchison2240 Only Metoo supporters dislike Vince based on recent news
@@markhutchison2240 Vince a martyr best joke ever.
Coven. The only band that I can think of that had an album called "Witchcraft Destroys Minds and Reaps Souls" with songs about Black Sabbaths, Pacts with Lucifer, and Wicked Women going to hell and went on to have a song featured on the Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour
Yeah, it's very strange indeed!
Jinx Dawson is still at it. Sounds great too.
I have this album! I picked up a vinyl reissue version!
Oh my god! Corny just referenced One Tin Soldier from Coven. And I got the reference. Unbelievable.
but the singing was absolute horseshit.
too much off key singing.
Coven's recording was actually a cover. The Original Caste did the original recording in 1969. Skeeter Davis also received a Grammy nomination for Best Female Country Vocal for her 1972 version.
@@jamesrawlins735 Yeah. I wonder if Jim knows about Coven's other work. It was all about Satanism, witchcraft and the occult. "One Tin Soldier" was actually only done by their singer, Jinx Dawson, who asked to be credited as Coven instead of her own name.
I’m surprised Brian hasn’t heard of it. I hardly consider myself a music guy, but I’ve heard of the song before. I even knew the twist at the end.
Growing up I was forced to sing the Original Caste song dozens of times in school and grew to hate the song. I get the message, but not my taste in music.
"That's the song!". Jim's singing brings light amongst all the craziness.
With out a care In the world
Billy Jack Haynes did work for Vince. Very briefly, though. He wrestled Hercules in Wrestlemania 3.
correct-a-mundo... I wore that Wrestlemania 3 video tape into dust I watched it so much
Wrestlemania 3 was sooooooooo huge. Steamboat v. Macho is an all-timer.
than he beat the p1ss out of iron mike sharpe and got fired
Uhh yeah, everyone knows that lmfao. He worked with a lot of ppl
@@eddiethomas1156that wasn’t why he got fired.
As to the ages, the report I saw said Billy Jack Haynes is 70, and his wife was 85.
So she was robbing the cradle
@@troylowe814 They both old 😅
@@troylowe814She was an 85 year old Cougar.
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
He married his best friends mom after his friend passed away. Weird situation
He is close to 80 o
Loved Brian's sigh when Jim started singing lmao !!
I've lived in Calgary most of my life. I'm in my 50's and I used to go to the matches every week with my best friend. I saw MANY big name wrestlers debut and/or work their rookie years: Bret, Dyno, Davey Boy, Anvil, Benoit, Owen, Pillman and a ton of future NJPW legends who came to Calgary to learn the North American style: Liger, Hashimoto, Saito, Hase, Kawada, Sasaki, Hirata, Takano, etc. I never saw another wrestler pick up the skills faster than Billy Jack Haynes. He came to Calgary after Dr. D. told him at the Portland Sports Arena "If you wanna learn to be a wrestler fly to Calgary next Friday, come down to the fairgrounds and find Stu Hart". I believe Billy only did a month in the Dungeon - a lot of it under the guidance of Dynamite - and then he was stuck on TV. I was shocked to learn later that Billy only had a month of training. He worked really well. His move-set was super derivative but it was derivative of the right guys. It's like in Billy's mind he was looking at the Stampede roster and thinking to himself "I want to punch like Dynamite. I want to bump from a punch like Duke Myers". He did the slow falling tree back bump after taking a punch exactly like Duke. Better even. He was one of the most impressive rookies I ever saw. And it took him places. When he returned to Portland he was a big territorial star within a year. Nevermind an episode of Dark Side Of The Ring Billy needs an entire MOVIE.
How in the hell did anyone NOT see this coming? The guy has been COMPLETELY UNHINGED FOR YEARS.
He was trying to expose wwe he exposed what happened to Ultimate Warrior
"There's got to be a Morning After" ain't that what the Succubus sang on South Park?
The Billy Jack movies seemed to always be on USA or whatever back in the day.
Some of the worst movies ever made.
@@theholymackerel072It was the message that made the movie good.🙈🙉🙊
I’ll never forget his rants about Chris Benoit on RF video
Yeah I remember too
Absolutely
Vince was Benoits son's real father 😂
@@MrJjburgess11 can I get a back story on this
@@robnix4146 there is a shoot interview on here. From about 10-12 years ago. I'll see if I can find it
Sean Oliver: "Billy Jack took a finger in the ass in the shower, apparently."
Jim Duggan: "Oh geez, did he get the belt? Should've taken more than the finger."
🤣🤣🤣
-Kayfabe Commentaries, WWF Timeline 1988 w/Hacksaw Jim Duggan
👍 Hoooooooooo
Who fingered Billy?
I actually LOL'd at Hacksaw saying :
*"..Did he get the belt?.."*
That's HILARIOUS
Duggan also asked Pat Patterson why he never made the moves on him. Patterson told duggan he wasn't attractive enough. True story.
@@BigBadJerryRogers bc Pat Patterson knew that Duggan would've beaten the s___ outta him
I've heard she had Alzheimer's and it was a mercy killing. I've also heard he was a monster who abused her. So wait for the trial
She was 85 years old, so that's entirely plausible.
Both things can be true. So yeah, best to wait for actual facts and what not.
@@Kalbuir66 yup probably a combination of the two
@@iamsupernautSaid nobody with functioning brain cells
@@spacequack5470what?
Portland seems like a magnet for crazies
Trump is a magnet for them even more though.
Portland, Ohio and West Memphis all attract nutjobs.
I feel like if I told you McDonalds screwed up my order, you would say it's Trumps fault.@@BuddyRose-kt1nu
The whole state of Oregon is a magnet for crazy people. My aunt who was literally bi-polar moved up there a few years ago. Which is great because she’s further away from us.
@@sprthrwwychnnl73you're all heart
That was formerly a loved classic song and now I will NEVER hear it again. Sitting through Jim Cornette’s singing should be considered punishment for almost any crime.
It qualifies as illegal torture under the Geneva Convention.
I'm not even facing charges, but I'll confess to everything!!!!
Billy Jack Haynes what's your thoughts on the Benoit Family Tragedy?
Billy Jack Haynes: Stone Cold Steve Austin had something to do with it...
"Billy Jerk Haynes" - Bobby The Brain
I said that, too. Yet no one remembers Bobby saying that.
@@jasonjimerson7046 Oh, I remember Heenan saying that.

billy "wack" haynes - barry windham
@@jasonjimerson7046wut
Billy Jack Haynes, in recent shoot interviews, resembled Randy Quaid in the “KINGPIN” movie!! 😂😂
Nicolas Cage played a character in a movie. He was a mob son, that was yoked, and flew into weirdo tough guy rages and bullying.
Billy Jack lived his life similar to that.
I WANNA GO TO RENO
I'm remember Billy Jack vs. hurcules at wrestlemania
Apparently the guys had ongoing mental health problems for a long time and it seems finally came to a head here with this situation.. his poor wife was like 85 with dementia aswell
Just watch any clip of an interview of him at least the last 20 years and you can see he's not the full shilling.
Yeah…sad stuff. He’s been a damaged man for a long time.
I loved the One Tin Soldier reference, made my day to hear Jim sing it!
This makes the RF Video Conspiracy THeories with Billy Jack very ironic where he goes on a rant about Vince McMahon being a murderer
Or his rant about Austin being a woman beater. Well Billy Jack you’re a woman killer.
One Tin Soldier’s a great song, and a timeless message about the evil some people do in pursuit of money and power.
(Great rendition of it by Corny, here 😂)
It should be the National Anthem for The United States of America.
Interesting fact:
Coven is considered one of the first Occult-based bands that paved the way for the iconography that was part of the basis of Heavy Metal.
And then they totally abandoned the gimmick.
The wife was in her 80s with dementia...Billy is in his 70s...not giving excuses just facts
Jim explaining the plot of One Tin Soldier is the real gold.
I remember the song, "One Tin Soldier".
But, then again, I'm OLD.
You can always count on wrestlers to retire and live happily ever after
Corny's singing has killed my crops.
In the early part of his career, he looked like everything you would want in a Professional Wrestler. He was Huge, Ripped about 6'4 270lbs a real powerhouse. One of the high points of his career was far as I was concerned was Starcade 1985: The Gathering: NWA United States Tag Team Champions Chief Wahoo McDaniel and Billy Jack Haynes vs. The National Tag Team Champions The Minnesota Wrecking Crew Ole and Arn Anderson.
Growing up with Portland Wrestling in the 70's and 80's, I got to see all the greats when they started like Roddy Piper, Matt Borne, The Grappler,Buddy Rose, Dynamite Kid, Curtis Hennig, Buzz Sawyer, Jesse Ventura and so many more. It's really sad to see how Billy Jack's life turned out. Another boyhood hero gone because of his life choices. I met Buddy Rose just before he died. He was the nicest most humble when I told him how he and the wrestlers got me through my parents divorce and to be strong like them. I think it touched him to know he had that impact on a young kid now an adult who was indeed strong. He might have acted a heel but he was a hero to me just like Billy Jack was. It's sad that drugs and other things got him to this point.
Wow!! I still own on original cassette Coven Witchcraft reaps souls and destroys minds they were actually before Black Sabbath and I believe the bassists name was Oz Ozbourne also.
Correct
@@RobTheUndertakerI saw the reformed Coven in 2018 at a festival in maryland
Tom Loughlin is grateful somewhere to hear Jim sing the song. Billy Jack movies are killer.
Billy Jack is 70. His wife was 85. His best friend and neighbor said his wife had severe dementia. Billy fell and broke some ribs. He had to rely on others to care for her. The neighbor also said, they owned a guinea pig that slept with them for years and the Guinea pig recently died, Causing him to go into a deep depression. A very sad story. Dementia is 10x worse on the family than on the patient 😢
Jim should do an album of duets with William Shatner. Minds would be blown.
I remember someone in the comments on one Billy Jack video and they said he should make a comeback as the world's oldest Beatlemaniac. That shit lives ren free in my mind. 😂
His wife had dementia and was 85. If I was to render a motive I would say he thought he was putting her out of her misery. But only spectating.
"My god, it's coming right for us!"
I just laughed So Hard! Corny singing The Billy jack song! I'm a of the 70s.That movie was Awesome!
I love when Jim randomly breaks into song for no reason.
Brian gets so mad 😂
Incredibly surprised by Jim's mention of Coven..What an amazing coincidence, because I listen to them all the time. Cheers guys we love ya here in Virginia.
Billy Jack Haynes vs Terry Gibbs was the first match I ever saw wrestler live.
Jim should put out an album
In looking into this when it first came out, I saw Billy Jack recently lost a long time friend of his too by the name of Todd Becraft. They also seem to have been Billy Jacks step son too. Searching that name with Billy Jack will find his obituary , which is a rather sad read
Toddster the Hamster?
In Loving Memory
Todd Allen Becraft
Nov. 15, 1962 - Nov. 14, 2021
Janette Becraft Haynes and Dwight Becraft's only son, Tod, was born Nov. 15, 1962.
Tod was a World Champion bench presser at 551 lbs. Tod and his mother had an inseparable bond. They spoke on the phone daily.
Billy Jack Haynes was Tod's best friend. They met when Tod was nine years old. After Dwight passed away, Janette and Billy Jack married.
Janette named her guinea pig Lil' Todster, after her beloved son.
A private funeral was held June 12, 2023, in Lincoln Memorial Cemetery. Tod's resting spot is in Lincoln Memorial next to his father and grandmother, Ione, who absolutely adored Tod.
@@LilMonkeyFella87 Hannibal said it was a hamster
@@LilMonkeyFella87 Hannibal said they treated Toddster like a child
Billy overfed the thing
That’s the hampster 😆
Billy Jack is a tad unstable.
Hmm, ya think?
I'm surprised Brian hasn't heard the version of One tin soldier by Me first and the gimme gimmes
I love those guys.
Hearing Cornette sing might actually be as bad as hearing a Taylor Swift song.
Scott Hall actually shot a guy, he didn't beat him to death
Could Jim sing "One Tin Soldier" again? Man that was good!
I did a quick web search when this started to become an item. Channel 6 in Portland posted a still of the cops cuffing him. As Corny pointed out, longtime area wrestling fans were quick to identify him based solely on that still. The local news was abuzz with the story but provided few if any details. Where Corny got it wrong was describing Lents as a quiet neighborhood. The area in question is across I-205 from the SE 82nd corridor, which is one of the sleazier parts of Portland. If not for the news buzz associated with this being a recent event, my aforementioned web search wouldn't have turned up anything special, as shootings appear to be a common occurrence in Lents.
"There's got to be a morning after" Theme song from the trailer for American Crime Story: The Trial of Vince McMahon and the WWF 🙄🙄
I watched one of his shoot interviews I believe 2009 he went off in Vince McMahon like the entire shoot, and amazingly enough, he was talking about the exact stuff Vince just got in trouble for guess he wasn't as crazy as everyone thought
Yeah when I was really young and getting into wrestling Billy Jack's fans was everywhere. He was on magazines and had an action figure that other kids had. And I literally never saw him on TV except going back and watching really old stuff 30 years later.
Wow I just sent this to coven (the band still plays)
Just saw coven
They didn’t play tin soldier
More Jim singing the classics, please! 😁
It was in Portland and was the big news locally that day.
Last not ever seeing any Billy Jack films shows he is closer to a Young Buck than he admits.
Not his first killing. His wife was 85. Damn.
That's what I was thinking isn't this the second time?
My sister used to sing a parody of a Hanes commercial in the 80's.
"Billy Jack Haynes... he's not just underwear"
That was Lyle Alzado.
One day the show is just gonna be Jim singing
One tin soldier was something in my summer camp's songbooks it was DEFINETELY not on my bingo card of songs Jim was going to sing to annoy Brian.
Skip to 2:40, if you dont wanna hear Cornette acting like a clown.
Don't tell Jim, but I'm kinda looking forward to the lawsuit over the copyrighted music thing...
Where is the Dark Side of the Ring episode about crazy Billy Jack Haynes? Guess he refuses to discuss his life with Vice.
Back in 1998, my cousin Maggi, & I broke my bedroom's wall, playing indoor volleyball. We didn't want to tell our parents. My other cousin Joey, who used to stayed with us, forgot his Billy Jack Haynes poster. We end up covering the giant hole, with the Billy Jack Haynes poster. LOL PS: That house was curse, anytime a family moved out, someone in the house would die. The house finally blow up.
Boy, that story took a HARD twist, at the end.
Damn...😂
PS? The fact that the house was cursed, killed folk and exploded wasn't considered important enough to make it into the main comment?
@@badladyami😂😂😂
One of the dumbest story I've heard, thanks for that.
She was 85, Jim
"My god, it's coming right for us!"
@BuddyRose-kt1nu: What does that have anything to do with it you blue whale?
Listen to Billy’s claims about the “Boys on the Tracks” murders in Arkansas. Quite wild…
ONE TIN SOLDIER! my dad showed me Billy Jack when I was 9 years old 😂 (i’m 32) and it was so fun lol pure 70s nostalgia i didn’t live but got the vibe for.
Thank you Jim for a perfect reminder of my childhood.
Wrestling and Billy Jack(the movie)
Billy Jack is one of the best martial art movies of all time.
God damn it jim that song brings me back to going up north in Canada and having one tin soldier on the radio while driving through the backroads
Obviously Jim wasn't going to bed without getting that hook 🪝 and verse 📜 out😏🥴😅🤣
Saw Billy Jack at Wrestlemania III when he was up against Hercules Hernandez, he had puked outside the ring on one side , some of it was on his beard and chest when he later applied the full Nelson on Hercules . Guy looked like he was carved out of granite.
Jim should make a cover album. Lol
It will be a cover album, because it will make you cover your ears!
Thanks folks, I'll be here all night, try the lobster.
He actually worked one match in December of 84 for the WWF in Chicago I believe and then left to care for his father or that was the story. He then returned in late August/early September of 86 and got a brief mid card push.
My dream match of shoot Personality vs. Shoot Personality is Billy Jack Haynes vs. Dr. D David Schultz.
It's a shame Sheiky Baby is no longer with us.
Is there a 10 hour clip of Jim's beautiful singing only? Thanks in advance.
I was born in 72 but that hit song was on the radio.until the mid 80s
I am Soo thankful we still have Corny!!!
Jack Haynes One Tin Soldier rides away
I remember him going to USWA for a bit,he turned baby face after reluctantly saving someone that was getting a beat down in the ring
His wife was 85 with severe alzheimer's from what I saw. It's a really sad situation.
Damn i will never listen to that song again without hearing this ....... version 😢😢😢😢
"2 insects being multi tracked"🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤣😭
I actually saw that movie a couple of years ago, it was a little heavy handed with the hippy stuff, but overall not bad, it had it's moments, and the bad guy in that was a classic heel, rich son of a powerful local leader, thinks he can do anything and treat anybody how he wants... and yeah that opening song was very catchy, if not sappy and preachy, but nevertheless ... it's classic hippy cinema, if there is such a thing, combined with an action star badass, interesting combo
You know, if you sing that song (Morning After) in reverse, it's handy for getting rid of a Succubus
Didnt billy jack throw up on Hercules at wrestlemania 3 😆
