Jim Cornette Interviews Dutch Mantell 

Dutch is a good guy and I really enjoy him and Corny talking wrestling.

Dutch is the only person I have ever heard talk over Jimmy. Love them both. #bringkayfabback

"Coming into the ring from Oil Trough, Texas, 'Dirty' Dutxh Mantel."

I’ve been a fan of Dutch since 1972 when he was with Ann Gunkels’ All-South Wrestling Alliance. He was using his real name, Wayne Cowan, and was already a good technical wrestler even though he was a jobber on TV and was in the preliminary matches at the house shows. He would always have a good match when matched up against another good technical wrestler which most of the preliminary guys were. Most of them were better wrestlers than many of the main event guys in recent years.

sheri martell for the weekend i wouldnt complain

Dutch sounds so much more coherent in this interview than he does on his own podcast currently.

Dutch said that you can't sell 16.000 tickets in Puerto Rico nowadays but WWE did it last year when they sold Nearly 18.000 in San Juan.

OMG that first story about driving when Dutch scared Jim is hilarious!

luv it, keep em coming bro...

Dutch is another riot guy. Pleasure

You 2 guys are 2 of the very best to ever be in the business

Looking forward to interviewing Dutch for Hannibal TV next week

For fuck's sake, next time turn your speakers down, Dutch.

Love this interview! Thanks for sharing Dutch and Jim.

Dutch is awesome!!

god im so glad the quality of these is way better now hahaha

i think he went by the name of wayne cowan in atlanta when paul jones was the promoter of the wrestling showgcw

It's obvious that Cornette has respect and deference to old Dutch. The echo feedback on Corny's mike is a bit annoying, but this was 2017 so they were still working out the glitches on the podcast.

My 2 favorites Shooting 🔫 the Shit bout the old days absolute gem guys thanks for this one Moody was a great tale

could listen to this all day!!!! thank you AV! go to PAPW tv and centerring316, thank you again

I know that this interview was five years old at this point but hearing them talk about one of the downsides of national television really hit home and today more than ever. Yes we have AEW but AEW is not what WCW was. Even though WWF and WCW were both national companies a lot of guys would go work at one company for three or four years and then they go to the other company for a few years. We saw wrestlers like Rick rude, Kevin Nash, Curt Hennig, Scott Hall, etc. we’re all good examples of guys that would go back-and-forth between the two companies and it kept them fresh because even though it was the same guy you’re still seeing on national television it felt different because the two companies felt different. And back then we also had smoky mountain wrestling, ECW, and USWA So there were places for guys to go for a while and still work and then pop back up on one of the national shows and it would be fresh again. That’s one of just many problems we have with the wrestling business today is that we have WWE which does some things right but a lot of things wrong and then everyone else is just a giant in the promotion with money behind it.

your audio is echoing

Could listen to these shoot interviews all the time, better than today's product in wwe and aew

Great audio

There is an echo

I wish em the best. I really do. Who ya trying to convince there Ditch?them or yourself?

24:16 VERY IRONIC THAT HE'S BACK WITH THEM NOW lolz

4:10 A guy in WWE could have killed his whole family too.

I have this scenario in mind about Savage, sitting up in bed from a deep sleep. That danm azz munch'n dog is gonna get one day!! He's having a flash back.Hehehe!

Sad that they didn't cover Dutch's greatest quote to Jerry Jarrett.

"Jimmy, Dixie (Carter) speaks highly of you." - "Dirty" Dutch Mantell

Dutch loves him some Dutch!

so i'm guessing it was common practice to put rookie managers with women (the lowest being in the business) to weed them out?

"They thought the space program was fake and wrestling was real." Lol

Dutch and Cornette are the types of Wrestling Geniuses that NEED to be the Coaches/Teachers instead of guys like Michael Hayes or Dean Malenko. They won't do it even if offered to, but they should.
