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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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 😂)
Listening to the stories of Billy Jack and hearing him speak over the years in various interviews, it wouldn't surprise me if Billy Jack was a long time Serial Killer who flew under the radar for years. "Allegedly"
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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
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.
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.
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
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.
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. 😂
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.
was anyone really surprised? i know i wasn't. seeing the interviews with him from about 97 up until one i think he did last summer it was clear he has early onset dementia in addition to a myriad of other issues.
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.
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.
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 😢
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.
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.
He loved her with every fiber in his body. I think she had gotten so far gone and so sick that Billy wanted to end her suffering. I’ve known BJH my whole life and yeah the guy had a screw loose but shit man everyone from those years were crazy. It was only a decade ago that Jake the snake was doing crack in his piss stained underwear. I have no doubt in my mind that he didn’t kill her out of malice or ill will.
In the shoot interviews with BJH in the past few years you would never recognize him, he looked so different. He looked like a shrunken down garden gnome. He was one of those guys who you could tell that the roids gave him a hair trigger temper. Got in many locker room fights, most famously with Iron Mike Sharpe. Not the sort of person I would have wanted to hang out with.
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.

Billy Jack is one of the best martial art movies of all time.
Skip to 2:40, if you dont wanna hear Cornette acting like a clown.
I am Soo thankful we still have Corny!!!
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 😢
Could Jim sing "One Tin Soldier" again? Man that was good!
Doctors chopping at the bit for the day when Billy Jack finally goes so they can look at his brain after taking bets on how much brain rot he has.
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.
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.
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.
He loved her with every fiber in his body. I think she had gotten so far gone and so sick that Billy wanted to end her suffering. I’ve known BJH my whole life and yeah the guy had a screw loose but shit man everyone from those years were crazy. It was only a decade ago that Jake the snake was doing crack in his piss stained underwear. I have no doubt in my mind that he didn’t kill her out of malice or ill will.
In the shoot interviews with BJH in the past few years you would never recognize him, he looked so different. He looked like a shrunken down garden gnome. He was one of those guys who you could tell that the roids gave him a hair trigger temper. Got in many locker room fights, most famously with Iron Mike Sharpe. Not the sort of person I would have wanted to hang out with.
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.
Last not ever seeing any Billy Jack films shows he is closer to a Young Buck than he admits.
Where is the Dark Side of the Ring episode about crazy Billy Jack Haynes? Guess he refuses to discuss his life with Vice.
Not his first killing. His wife was 85. Damn.
That's what I was thinking isn't this the second time?
Hearing Cornette sing might actually be as bad as hearing a Taylor Swift song.
Jack Haynes One Tin Soldier rides away
She was 85 billy 71 her son died year before they got married last year also suspicious much🙄
cornett doesnt know. BJH wife was 15 years older than him
One day the show is just gonna be Jim singing
Rhino needs to do a _Golden Throats_ with Jim Cornette :-)
Look up his name and 'the boys on the tracks'. There was an Unsolved Mysteries case about it. He said he killed those two boys.
