"Cpt. Lou Albano looked at me and said. Kid there are only two thing real in wrestling. The money and the Miles" - Kevin Nash
Being born and raised in Spartanburg I found the first seven minutes to be nostalgic. I was only about 7 or 8 but I remember sitting front row with my grandfather at many of those events. My grandfather was a regular and the ring boys would allow to me to play in the ring after the events. I had the privilege of meeting so many superstars but I remember Wahoo especially. Paw Paw would get me out of school and say that we were going to see the Wrasslin tonight. Those were the f*ckin days!
I like how Jim's picture accurately portraying the Midnight Express lifting weights as Jim sleeps in bed.
The sheer brutality of the road schedules of the larger territories back then is amazing. Definitely not for the faint of heart. It made drug use almost inevitable.
Jim nailed it on that Dusty Rhodes impersonation.
Love how the thumbnail shows Corny wearing his glasses even while sleeping. 😁
Guys during the Territories were the real Road Warriors.
I love hearing jims stories about travel and how things were back in those days in wrestling,always a good listen.
Who’s looking forward to Cornys review of the AEW MUSICAL and the rise of the cleaner KENNY OLIVIER 🧹😙🕺
Is it just me or is anyone else blown away with how good his memory is, about things that happend 25years ago. Btw i love listening to the show.
The pigeon innuendo made me spit out my drink
"might do some bird-watching and make arrangements on how to feed em" LOL
This is one of my favorite segments. Love listening to Jim take us on the trips.
People used to comment on Bret Hart having every one of his matches on tape and daily dictaphone notes to himself throughout his career to be able to remember things in so much detail but man, thank god for Corny keeping all of this.
“Turn a Hampton Inn into a bell tower” daaaaaaaamn. Hilariously fantastic
That WWE catering is no joke they have it made , when I was an extra talent here in the Bay Area , man !!! I was in food heaven 😂 great subject ty 🌽ey !!
"I have been on exercise equipment and meant it..." 😂
That's A LOT of wear & tear on a vehicle too! And as, Cornette said in another podcast, he and all the other performers had to pay for ALL their fuel & food costs. Plus car repairs. Going through that kind of schedule is proof that he and majority of these Wrestlers loved the business. Much respect for all they went through/ go through to entertain us!
You know what we want, you know the clip that we want....
Harley Race would keep a blade in car traveling he would constantly go 100 mph and when a state trooper would pull him over he'd blade himself and tell the cop he was on his way to emergency room with blood all over his head the cops would let me go lol
