Bonus Drive Thru: Jim Cornette on Starrcade '86 & Scaffold Matches 

So true Cornette is the man, one of my fav wrestling personalities of all time. I never really cared for any of the scaffold matches. The build to this match was awesome though.

And I will listen to it a million times and always be entertained!

NO FUCKING SHIT!!

Most injuries add legitimacy and make the wrestler look tougher. Like stone cold in 1997.

@@ricosalvaje5802 true.

😂😂😂 dude you are one true wrestling fan! On a 2nd note, is the girl ok?

@@deejprice3049 no, shes dead. she fell from a roller coster 300 ft in the air.

@@lilHippo well fuck

@@lilHippo the only ride im terrified of but still get on, is the Giant Swings😪 im scared that bitch will break off an go sailing into the horizon. I wont try the bungee one tho. The one that shoots you straight up in the air and you bounce back n forth...im good

dj johnson fCuz he was a great f'n heel. Lol

He did his job when he was managing then.

Cause he did his job 😊❤

Because he was the guy you loved to hate,Best of All Time, could listen to him all day 😃.

I used to cuss at my house when he was on my TV

"Both of you fell so fast Jim"

The heels drew so much heat back then the fans were literally paying for the possibility of seeing one of them get thrown off one of those things.

The first hell in a cell came to be in the late 90s (HBK vs Taker in '97) so up until then there weren't any other instances of taking a bump from that high up BESIDES cage matches, but even then there's just so many ways you can produce a bump like that: 1) Shaking/tackling the cage while your opponent is sitting on top leg spread/as they're holding onto the ledge; or 2) Back and forth fist fighting while sitting on top till one of them drops dead. Whereas with scaffold matches there were multiple other ways to take a bump, be it like the midnights and corny on this match or taking a body back drop, etc

Unless you’re an AEW fan..

Yeah bruh the only thing better than $325 is having something you know is worth that having it in good condition and keeping it, I have a white zombie t-shirt that goes for $200 now on “Grailed” lol its soo faded too 🤣

NO FUCKING SHIT 😹

I barely remember going to a wrestling show at the Municipal Auditorium in Columbus, GA. I was probably 8 years old and my family was living in Columbus at the time.

Bullshit

dead account Scott Steiner?

Adds up to me

Equals 66 2/3 chance of being a Hardcore Legend

bro you forgot to add KURT angle into the mix which means the chances of mick foley fans drastic go down

@@tobiasfarragut292 i love how all us wrestling fans know EXACTLY how cool that comment was. nWo 4👈

Well you gotta keep regular..gotta have a crap moment 🧻🚽

We weren't Magnum TA's demo you know? Same as for the Rock n Roll and their clones. They were all for the ladies

I wouldn't say this is the match that introduced boss man. He wrestled some great great matches as Big Bubba.

It was the catalyst for Bubba to look for a new job and that's how he got a job with WWF and when he got the Boss Man gimmick.

@@garyk6079 not what he said

Great American bash

Yeah, I've never got the appeal either. Its basically impossible to have a good match, and I've never seen one that didn't suck. I guess you would have had to have been there. Give me a cage match any day of the week.

I mean back in the day wrestling cards were developed in a way that there would be a little bit of everything throughout the show: Some upper midcard grudge matches, some high spot matches, some scientific wrestling matches, some brawl only matches, some milking the crowd only matches, a gimmick finish, etc. The whole show was booked to highlight the current and future main eventers. And the rest were moved around in a way that it didnt damage those main shows.

Yeah funny how Jim doesn't mention this. Garbage matches have always existed

Jason Hogan You can just let your subscription lapse.

BC Phil Well if anything the painful eventuality of where all these angles,matches, and bad management are going to lead. But that's my personal assessment can't say the same for the "Vince killed wrestling" or "Won't push my favorite wrestler" contingent.

For what..so we have NO CHOICE but to watch that Empty arena Screen faced thunder dome bullshit ....my guess is you really enjoyed the mimosa Mayhem
