Someone might want to tell Cornette that Ricky Medlocke was originally in Skynard in 71 be and 72, and has 3 songs on Skynard album "First and Last". Medlocke was also the guitarist and front man for Blackfoot, so I am pretty sure we all knew who Ricky Medlocke is...except Jim Cornette 🤨🤔🤣
I just played Marauder the other day. Great band.
Cornette's reaction to the Slam Jam lyrics is priceless
I can only imagine his reaction to the wrestlemania rap...
"I'm a Freebird, what's your excuse?" Pricelessly BAD lyrics!!! lol
Hey, don't knock it. Bet I'm one of the RARE fans who actually has that song. Thanks to the Freebirds of course. lol
Jim Cornette is freaking hilarious lol😅🤣😆
This is one of those videos you can always come back to, especially to look at the photo that aligns perfectly with the topic, to see Steamboats wife and child literally holding him back
Rickey Medlocke actually played drums for a time with the original (real) Lynyrd Skynyrd
I remember seeing that ad shown above in my local TV Guide.
History denied us a Midnight Express Slam Jam song and Cornys reaction to it.
Ricky was using Sirrius before the Bulls!
No, the Bulls had already been using it for a few years by that time.
Trevor Hembrough in 1985? No.
@@Thor-Orion exactly!
@@trevorhembrough1290 Wrong
don't know how i never made the connection as to why i didn't like bonnie steamboat in that late 80s period but jim nails it. she was basically what debra mcmichael would be with mongo. no personal accomlishment but somehow she's out there, expensive clothes, jewelry and makeup, basically arm candy... an archetype heel
Steamboat came off as a family man and I was surprised to find out that he was married like 4 or 5 times
I remember those lyrics...oh, brother!!
Ricky Medlocke was in Blackfoot too ....wasn't he ?
Yes and he apparently was the drummer in an earlier version of Skynyrd before Artimus Pyle.
Yes he was train train and Highway song
Yes he sure was.
Brian makes Sammy Guevara sound like a Grammy winning artist
now i have to go listen to that song lol
Ricky Medlock used to live on a friend of mines couch. Blackfoot was awesome though.
I saw a video of 80s sitcom intros on UA-cam and the Family song was one of them 😂😂😂
Bruce Lee had Brandon in Enter the Dragon with him. He rescues his boy from a minotaur i believe.
AMEN BROTHER!
TBH I never saw Steamboat in WCW so all I know I just heard after the fact. I wouldn't exactly call the in-character relationship between Randy Savage and Elizabeth healthy by today's standards, but it worked. Much harder to pull off if Bonnie "Steamboat" wears the pants.
The way Flair's book tells it, Bonnie was threatened by Ricky's fame and popularity, and Ricky probably held himself back a bit for her sake. Hard to say how his WWF IC run would have turned out had he not asked for time off, because Steamboat was a HUGE threat to Hogan's spot as the top face. BUT, Ricky Steamboat as I understand it made compromises for his marriage, which in the end failed anyway. AND she got the legal rights to his ring name.
AND I hear Rick Rude was loyal to his wife including taping over his wedding ring for matches instead of taking it off. I guess Mrs Rude didn't mind her husband's womanizing playboy gimmick.
I'm not going to knock Ricky for trying to make his marriage work. He wanted to be a good husband and a good father, so props to him for that. From what I've heard, it sounds like Ricky was the one willing to sacrifice and keep people happy while his wife took advantage of him.
It also sounds like his wife wanted to be a "Miss Elizabeth" type character. The problem was, that kind of image was starting to look outdated by the early 90's. If anything, WCW should have kept Ricky a babyface but let him tow the line between face and tweener... sort of like what Sting did when he eventually became Crow Sting.
I like the Ricky with the 90's Chicago Bulls theme. He had it first so it's something. His family man gimmick and Dragon gimmick were terrible. If he would have stayed serious like a Tanaka from Bloodsport(1988) he'd of been more people's favorite wrestler. Edit. Sirius yes. Fucking copyrights ruin a lot of great shit. Eye of the tiger, Iron Man, now this? Geez
Steamboat got a lot of time off before WrestleMania III doing the crushed larynx angle. How much time did he expect to get off?
Yeah, it's the one time I don't blame Vince for burying a guy after, they put the IC Title on Steamboat then he suddenly tells Vince he wants time off? I'd have buried him too.
I remember that GARBAGE song 😆😆😆. That was around the time he feuded with Rick Rude I believe
ricky had the gong song in wcw before family man. alan parson's was wwf.
So Bonnie Steamboat was the Brandy Rhodes of her time?
Here's the difference between Bonnie Steamboat and Brandy Rhodes: Bonnie was living off of Ricky's fame and Ricky divorced her and she had rights or likeness to his last name or something like that and Ricky as part of their settlement had to go to court to get his rights back. To my knowledge I don't think Cody's wife would go to the extent that Bonnie did.
Brandi helped Cody with the creation & marketing of AEW. Bonnie married Ricky in the prime of his career, the same year he divorced his 2nd wife. While Brandi does need a reality check on her popularity, she did stand by Cody while he took a massive gamble. Bonnie was a home-wrecking ringrat who jumped aboard for the ride after the hard work & sacrifice was already over.
@@ralph8677 yes Brandi does need a reality check.
The legal issues Jim was referring to was that Ricky's ex-wife Bonnie. She had rights to his ring name as part of a divorce settlement. He had to court to regain them back.
hezamachine she just wanted money after living off his fame.
Yeah, you could tell when she was with him that she wanted to be Miss Elizabeth but in realty was a gold digger.
I wanted to hear Brian's lead in to this subject but Jimmy wouldn't let him talk. I'm grumpy so I turned it off, I'll come back to it tomorrow.
The WCW screwed Steamboat after he lost the title back to Ric Flair . Since they were going for realism , how does Ric Flair get two rematches but Steamboat didn't get one ?
Andrew Gardener POLITICS!🤔
No his wife screwed that up because she kept trying to run things behind the scenes.
@@kevinwilkins7524because Ric Flair is the champion the Champ calls the shots
I didn't know Steamboat was whipped.
All WCW entrance music was horrible (“STEINER LINE!!!!”) that’s why they started blatantly ripping off rock songs in the late 90’s.
BUTCH REED IS URBAN FUCKING LEGEND
I Still Prefer "Opening Ceremony" (His WCW Instrumental) Theme to the SLAM JAM Theme
As a 9 year old I hated that family man crap. There was no way I'd pull for him vs Flair.
But years later that Family Man theme song while being pitted against my main man Rick Rude...holy shit. He was Ricky the Eunuch Steamboat in my book. But at least the family was back home by this point.
😆😆😆 same here only I was 13. That show (one of the Clashes I think) where they had the segment in the ring where Flair had on the black mink with his ladies and Steamboat was with his wife and kid, I was there with my brothers here in Cleveland. Trust me when I tell you, Ricky was getting BOOED hard! I can't remember if that made it to TV (I think it did because it was live) but it was evident most of us didn't wanna see that.
To be fair, Miss Elizabeth also wore expensive gowns. Obviously, Ricky was no Macho Man.
But the say that the lyrics side on that Slam Jam album (and WCW themes in general during the era) were cringe-worthy is like saying Stalin had a moustache.
That song was awful 😂😂.
ua-cam.com/video/f3xWD0aHiF0/v-deo.html - The Dragon's WCW theme....
Jim was all over the place on this one.
The family man thing kinda works for a jobber or midcarder, but it's absurd to do that with a main eventer.
Arrowdodger you're right. See Heath Slater
I mean you could have a top guy who has "loves his family" as a trait. But you really can't have their character revolve around it. Lots of top faces have had "candid" vignettes where it shows them doing things with their family AMD that they love their kids, but it was part of a build.
Man, I’m glad I found this show! I grew up watching WWF (at that time) and WCW from mid 80’s to early 90’s. My husband says I know way too much about this stuff 🤣
I used to be a RS fan (unfortunately 🤣) 🥂
What was the name of Steamboat's WWF entry song from around 86? Loved that song. Sounded eerie
Steamboat's wife messed up a lot of business for him. This is a perfect example of a woman should be at home naked in the kitchen cooking.
