Jim Cornette Explains What An Outlaw Show Is 

“If he was a full grown man it woulda killed him” LMFAOOOO

The first janela rant this belongs in the Cornette history books

“Janella, somebody” 😆 Before he was Jelly Nutella!

I'll tell the truth, I didn't know what an outlaw show was either, but I figured it probably looked cheap with guys that were out of shape with no gear, and I was right about that.

"I hope they get hepatitis and rot from the inside out." Jim channeling his inner New Jack here.

THis is why I love Jim Cornette. He hates the guy, he just finished calling him an idiot, and he calls him "one of the boys". He still believes it's a brotherhood.

Sadly, if I'm being honest, my whole life, in general, is an Outlaw Mudshow. :)

1:53 "janela... Somebody"

The dale mann ending had me in tears laughing

It’s amazing that a few years ago jelly Nutella was “just some guy named janella”

If Jim Cornette told me that the sky was green...I wouldn't even look up and check

Funny enough, I attended a GFW wrestling show in 2015 on Fathers day in Bowling Green. This show was promoted by Jeff Jarrett and in the opening contest Chuck Taylor and Cliff Compton broke the ring. Jim Cornette would go on to appear as heel manager for Chris Mordetzky (Masters) against Shelton Benjarmin who was managed by Tony Rose. During this match, Jim became the best heel manager I have had the privilege to see live. He even threw a trash can while he and Tony Rose were having a confrontation.

Lol he's talking about joey janella

"My whole life is an outlaw mudshow. One. Big. Outlaw. Mudshow."

"I guess we'll never see eye to eye." Well, so far so good on that one.

Cornette's genuine "what" of confusion at the end there NEVER fails to make me laugh.

RevPro isn't quite outlaw but it's unlikely they'd ever rise above crazy Indy.

I remember going to an AWA show when they were here at The Showboat in Vegas in the late 80s. Concession stand story reminded me. I went to a TV taping and that's when Jeannetty/Michaels were still there as The Midnight Rockers feuding with Doug Sommers and Buddy Rose. I don't remember seeing Sensational Sherry there, but I think she was their manager so maybe I just blocked it out. It was a TV taping, I think, because each person and team wrestled 3 times. Michaels/Jeannetty wrestled 3 times and came out to the same entrance each time. Cornette talks about exposing the business and Michaels and the clique doing what they did in MSG, but Verne having guys wrestle over and over in front of a crowd like this really exposed it. Not that it was a big crowd, and there was good reason why. AWA was boring as hell at the time, and even me as a huge fan didn't like watching it, but my grandfather was taking me out, and I didn't get to go to too many wrestling shows, so that made it fun. Well, anyways back to the concession stand, AWA was so cheap they served burned hotdogs from a small cart. I mean those hotdogs were almost as black as charcoal.

Last night's Cody vs Andrade match was outlaw mudshow material 😂

The ending twist was great

Dale Mann appeared on a card of Memphis wrestling at Rupp Arena. Probably around 1984-1985. He passed away in July 2017.

There’s not enough comments on how someone was called out for being a murderer like wtf 😂😂😂😂😂

I love Jim ❤

I live in Georgetown, Kentucky and that Outlaw Promotion is still around. They run shows every saturday at the Bingo Hall but it's actually a lot more professional now. They're very community oriented and do a free show once a year during the Summer.

“Sandmartino”

I want to hear about this hitchhiking tag team 🤣🤣🤣🤣

"That's Rev Pro!" 🤣

My whole life has been an outlaw mud show

My Local Fair Tonight Is Having Wrestling and The Ring Is Set up in The Mud.. Outalaw Mudshowwww

Wasn't Angelo Poffo's ICW an outlaw promotion?

I went to high school in Brooksville, KY. It is a small world

9:06 Shout out to THE FEFF!!!

Yes Burkesville is in Kentucky, I think it's in the southern central part of the state down near the Tennessee border.

Thank you for your patience, Jim. No, that was not a mistake. I worked more than ten years in public education, and I was amazed by some of the things that I took for common knowledge that were utterly foreign concepts to students - and their parents. Keep up the good work. You are much appreciated.

They picked up a hitchhiker to fill out a tag team match? I'd pay to see that 😂

Just swapping out the name "Ian Rotten" for Joey Janela and he's been talking about this stuff for decades at this point

This is where the legendary Cornette-Jelly feud began.

Has Jim ever said what he thought about Andy Kaufman?

Joey Ryan shows,where Sami Callihan,Jimmy Havoc and Joey Janela worked in hardcore matches.

I live in Georgetown, Ky! We have another Wrestling Company here called Prime Time Wrestling.

In my eyes dark matches are matches at a TV taping that are there to pop the local fans, usually with a local face going over.

Excuse my ignorance to modern wrestling venues... but, What is RevPro? And why should I care? Is it worth a watch?

It's funny how he blocked him,but still called him "one of the boys" 😆😆😆

AEW is outlaw wrestling with a budget.

My family has always called it gas station wrestling . Because for whatever reason we imagined these types of shows being ran in a gas station parking lot .

Dale Mann, Kentucky's telfon killer.

If being an outlaw show is a bad thing, don’t give it such a cool name!

The start of Jelly Nutella hahaha

I like the Topix reads. Funny stuff.

I feel for the folks who have to count all 10,000 thumbtacks. Not as much as the guy going into them, but still...

Jim Cornette rules....the best

Earnest T Bass aka Terry Landell

The 2nd half of this was comedy gold from the ... if you do this - that's outlaw, then got better and better until the Dale Mann ending. This one should get an award, it was great.

Links to clips of video of the subject please?

This is EPIC!!!!

Poor butch

This is where the legend of Corny first identified Jelly Janella as one of the chosen “outlaw mudshow cosplaying fucks”.... Jim sounds so innocent here...He has yet to learn about Marko or Excalibur...

Dale Mann was alive as recently as this year. He died in Juily, aged 77. www.randyspecktacular.com/2017/07/dale-mann-was-larger-than-life.html

Hol' up, is this Jim's very first interaction with Joey Janela

Can anybody tell me which episode of the show this is from?

Maybe Jim would do better to call these shows "mud shows". As for dark matches, if a card is being taped, then student matches that are not being taped for a DVD then it would be a dark match.

Outlaw mud shows need to be the plot to a Trailer Park Boys spinoff. GREEN BASTARD!!!

Dark show?? Aka warm up show??

Revaluation pro wrestling it is

Jim is using an outdated term. Outlaw shows were ICW, NWF etc. Promotions who weren’t in the NWA who ran in the same territory as whatever territory was in the NWA from that town, or “territory.” What Jim is talking about is Backyard wrestling which everybody here knows what that means I’m sure.

I look at outlaw promotions as up until about 85, any company not a member of the nwa or awa.

So basically most Memphis wrestling shows these days?

My favorite video on RU-vid

Revpro is the ROH of the UK... not Outlaw at all lol they even have a partnership with NJPW. Shibata, Nakamura, and Okada have all made appearances there. Lmao “Outlaw” MLW is Outlaw as fuck.

Anybody who doesn’t know what any insider term means my question for u is, why not just google it?

And this is where it all began lol

Any promotion can put on a mudlaw show

I've consumed more wrestling content in the last two months than I have in the last 13 years !!!!!!! Cornette, booker t, stone cold, the rock, Kurt angle, undertaker, kane, JBL, tazz, bad news brown, Brian pillman, Owen hart, Chris Jericho , beniot, Brock lesner, Goldberg, the miz, Triple H, MVP, cm punk, big show, and even yes ROMAN reigns

combat sports like boxing and mma use the term undercard instead of preshow

Stuff like AEW, ROH or NJPW

Then why the fuck do they have pre show matches before every single payperview

So "outlaw" means non-professional.

Daughter Of Dale-Man: yeah, my Daddy killed that mANd he'Do it, agaIN a heartbeat....!

1980's ladies mud wrestling mwa wrestling alliance what a bunch !!!

Hilarious in 2020 #CultofCornette

Jelly Nutella

how is Bobby doing ?

The birth of the bad boy vs cornette

Who did he murder? A guy called BUTCH!

As a Hoosier, I would GLADLY say, Dick The Bruiser would destroy Sheik for ever and always

Geek wrestling

I gotta disagree with the comment about there being no such thing as a pre show because in UFC you have the prelim fights and they are at the same show but not on the PPV

Sooo the term outlaw doesn't make any sense anymore after the territory days?

He rt. Them low budget shows wrestlers won't make it in the big places they be skinnier than the divas 😂

Outlaw mudshow bullshit!

In 3 Letters: AEW

I just realized that these guys are DnD players and that is why they think people who don't play DnD should know what a dark match is or an outlaw show. Dude, get out your tiny world and join us out here.

Getting wrestlers work and experience working a crowd and flexing their ring skills is always good

Then AEW came and decided to call a whole B show “Dark”. Wrestling is dead and those guys have helped bury it deeper into the ground

If Jim did a show with Ya Boi Zac from Comics Matter they could burry ebery Idea anyone ever had in any business ever..

Dale Mann a great guy and great wrestler.What is the fucking shit talk about?

There's nothing wrong with a good outlaw, mud show.

I don't think Jim quite understands dark matches.

Jim needs therapy. Getting this worked up over a fake sport is just sad. Jim is a sad sad little liberal man.
