Jim Cornette Looks At His Mid-South Schedule For The Second Half Of January 1984 

Content like this is why I fell in love with the podcast. I know there are some who like it, but I’m sick to the back teeth of hearing about AEW and modern garbage.

I always feel like Beautiful Bobby must have been such a great guy to be around and call a friend, never a negative story ever

I've always loved Jim's comment about lawsuits in Louisiana; "You can't sue the city in the most crooked state in the country." Hearing the inside stories on the commissions, knowing and paying off the right people is fascinating.

It's so insane how experienced Jim is and how knowledgeable Brian is about the business and history of wrestling.

Bill Watts with the Flock of Seagulls haircut , posed with Corny in his Thriller jacket needs to be a t shirt ! Especially with the big MTV/ Mid South logo ! Damn you Heckel ! You cracked me up again ! Travis is irreplaceable . The guests artist are fantastic as well , but something about this art and this show work so well .

I don’t t think people really appreciate or know how old school what he’s talking about really means. Arkansas roads are the worst in America, Oklahoma is a weird stop light double lane in the middle of nowhere, etc. A time most will never know.

God damn i love hearing about the old venues and hostile crowds that sh*t never gets old. Jim, i fkn love you man you're the cool uncle i never had.

Flock of seagulls Bill Watts is hilarious 😂

This is what we need! Wrestling talk. We all know AEW is a terrible promotion.

Bill Watts with the "Flock of Seagulls" haircut MUST go in the Travis Heckel Hall of Fame.

"Hey you, flock of seagulls. You know why we're here"? - Samuel Jackson 😂

That Travis Heckel drawing LMAO

A Flock of Watts?

"Thriller" Corny! Where's Vincent Price, Haha! 👍

Haha I just realized the MTV logo said mid south. Bravo!

These kind of segments are the reason why I listen to this podcast

Thank God!! Fuck the wrestling today!! We want the stories

I can't help but wonder how Jim would sound going "Eeeeeeee Heeeeeeee!" "Shamo!"

Still bizarre to me that these hillbillies believed it to be real in 1984 to try to harm heels. I was 12 and knew it was not real. All you had to do was watch the television program and see punches miss and the opponent sell it. Every show!

Another 🔥🔥🔥🔥 thumbnail by Travis

I found out recently that Barry Darsow came up with the Repo Man himself as he used to be a repo man in real life.

Always a learning experience about history through the eyes of one who was there and kept a great record of it as they experienced it. So crazy how much, even in the past 20 years, how much it changed.

Jim and brian talking about classic wrestling always makes my day lol keep them coming this is so much better than AEW in it's current and boring state thanks guys lol.

We need more of this!

Immediately after giving a thumbs-up for the, 'Flock of Seagulls' hair in the thumbnail--straight to the comments.

I can go for hours listening to Corny, he tells the stories so well.Sometimes wondering in a second life living it as a wester in the 80's

I could go for some more guess the program, it's been a while.

These are my favorite segments.

JIM CORNETTE AS KOKO WARE IS AWESOME

These were great road stories in just January alone! I can't wait to hear the rest of the months road stories and the arenas you all worked in and it is just exciting to her all this! This was when wrestling was what kept fans like me glued to the television set and as great to be able to see not just one, but multiple territories from the Northeast where I got to see not only the WWF, but Mid South, WCW NWA, AWA, and others using what we had back then called a "Scrambler" which was similar to today's cable where you can watch 100's of channels across the country while back then you were stuck watching only the cable in your area. I was a little kid in the mid 80's but loved wrestling since the first match I can remember at 4 years old when the match was with the Wild Samoans Afa and Sika who scared the hell out of me by looking like these two huge monsters with the hair and spoke no English and it was great! That as when I got hooked and saw all the wrestling territories on television and not just in the magazines that I still have kept all these years neatly and safe in boxes!

I love all stories about Bobby just talking. I remember Corny talking about the, "I wanna talk to y'all about a plane ride" before and it's just as funny now as it was then!

A wonderful hour to kill at work listening to Jim!

Demolition needs to be in the WWE Hall of Fame before they die of old age.

I wish I could see the Loranger General Store Auction & Wrestling. I'm fascinated by the gaul of the man running the show, and it's such a distinct time and place. Although Mr. C. does a pretty good job of putting you there.

Well, this is just what I wanted to see today. 😂

Ha! I stayed in that same La Quinta in OKC.

Whenever Michael Jackson is referenced in a thumbnail for this channel it's an automatic view. I remember Cornette saying he went to one of his concerts and is a fan, minus denying the... "unsavory" things about MJ.

I'm Sure corny knows the history of St. Bernard

The Thriller video used to scare the shit out of me

Its incredible he kept all these records and notes. Actually inspiring for me to do the same to have more memories later on in life, but I'm also not living a lifestyle as interesting as a traveling wrestling manager in the territory days lol

I would go to the shows in Lake Charles as a kid. I remember the shows being packed and really wild crowds.

Long Live JimCornette! I wish he was still working with the NWA as a Booker but…………

I’m up in Northern Ontario and our roads are way more challenging due to hills, rocks, lakes, multiple curves , and winter . So it must of been an easy transition for our wrestlers that came from our old territory to that part of the country such as “The Patriot” Bobby Hart, The Garvins and Precious, and of course Maurice Vachon who was our 1st regional champion in the early 50’s.

Keeping continuity straight when television's behind but spot shows chug along behind sounds like a chore. It's bad enough when an actor ad libs or a wrestler decides then and there to do something different which changes the entire nature of the story or program, but at least then I might be able to rely on the director saying "cut", another wrestler getting him in line or at least be able to course correct from there if it's not the end. It'd be worse today with the advent of phone cameras and high speed internet. No one does as many spot shows anymore, but imagine the booker burnouts if anyone was.

Smash becoming repo man was a serious mind fudge when I found out as a kid.

almost 3 hours for one month. gdamn son

Hacksaw Higgins was used in KC

Does anyone tune in for the new stuff?

So glad you guys did this

Didn't Darsow do a gimmick of the week thing in the closing days of WCW Saturday Night? Hole-in-one Darsow!

Security outside the locker rooms would make it even better

Fascinating stuff! Even at that point, the payoffs were very good so why the need to constantly drive back to Alexandria after shows? Staying overnight in some of these towns would surely have helped with the gruelling schedule.

Storytime is back.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

1984 Mid South good times thanks for taking us back Jim

Little Rock, Ark loved Mid South always drew
