Jim Cornette on George Gulas & The Legend Of "Daddy Says Sell" 

Had a bad day. Looked this up as soon as I was able and I feel so much better. One of the greatest stories of all time.

Daddy Said Sell is my favorite story Jim has ever told

0:53 "Doin...wrasslin commenterry...." LMFAO

Daddy says jobbers is ornery cuz they got all them losses and no sells.

George sounds like Junior from Smokey and the Bandit

Every time I hear that story I'm reminded of Junior from Smokey and the Bandit.

Daddeh!!! We's a havin a picnic!!! 👏 👏 👏

I just watched a clip of a shoot interview where Ricky Morton said that Harley Race made it look like George Gulas was going to win that match.

"It's George!" 😂

Nick was as blind as Leroy McGuirk not to see how bad George was. A father's love I guess.

"It's George"

Jim is a master impressionist

His impression of George makes him sound like Bobby Boucher even though he's not totally far off. Surprised George didn't have like a shoot interview

Daddy said sell, lmao. Jim you're fucking awesome, i love your stories, and your humor.

I knew Gulas, George wanted to wrestle, nick didn't want him to but Nick wouldn't say no to his son.

This story started out funny and ended very sadly.

Jimmy Jam, that's freakin' hilarious. Do ya all remember Mike Henry's role of the 'stoopid' Deputy and Son of Jackie Gleason in the 'Smokey And The Bandit' flicks? That's how I picture Baby Boy George Gulas.

Tony Khan from 2019 says hi

You don't have to agree with Cornette on his idea of what wresting should be, but appreciate it when he tells stories about the business thru his experiences. He's seen it all, done it all and been almost everywhere. He's a great person to listen to

"My daddy said you'd sell for me, please...."🤣

Here's what I've always wondered: Did George really want to be a wrestler, or was he pressured by his father? I'm going on a limb and guess that George got into the biz just so he could please Nick. I could be wrong.

Daddy said sell 😂😂😂😂

This is a good story here worth going back to time to time.

Every time I think Cornette can’t make me laugh any harder...

"Daddy Says Sell, Mama Sang Tenor. Me and little brother would join right in there...."

Brian having a good time with this one 🤣🤣🤣

Now i know how wrestling died in Chattanooga. I remember channel 12 had a local show and my mother said my uncle watched it in the 60s. I have just started watching wrestling (only the old shows). It is so fascinating with these podcasts.

He threw chops because Tojo Yamamoto trained him, so he used chops.

I am so convinced George Gulas was on the spectrum and was just high functioning. I feel like it would explain literally all of these stories lol

My step-dad used to cut George's grass. Daddy says mow!

Nick didn't want George to become a wrestler, he just couldn't tell George no.

I would've PISSED myself laughing in the ring

“It’s George!”

Hal Needham must have based Junior Justice after George Gulas LMAO 😂😂😂

Never gets old

Anytime I need a good laugh it either Corny's Daddy Said Sell or Tim Horner discussion...

I love this story.

This story has yet to become old or unfunny to me, it is just amazing xD

To my knowledge, Robert Fuller is the only wrestler who actually liked working for Nic Gulas

It's Geowge !!!

Bret talked about this in his book

Georgie wasn't all there, was he? 🤔

I knew George Gulas was awful beyond belief in the ring but hearing all this just buried him even further now.

George sounded... special

The only question of mine that was actually asked :)

George Gulas is kind of like Junior from Smokey and the Bandit with Jackie Gleason and Burt Reynolds

The original Bobby Boucher..."mama...my mama...my mama...my mama said...my Mama Said Sell!!!!!!!".

George's story would make an excellent comedy

The same Athlete turned Actor was Mike (no relation to Mark) Henry. And he appeared in two very different Burt Reynolds Movies. The original Bandit, of course. And the first version of "The Longest Yard."🤔🏈B.W.

"Wrathlin commentay"

George gulas the original waterboy 😂😂

If Nick had made George work his way up (jobber and foward), he could've been a great wrestler. Height and skinny aren't always detriments, to being wrestlers. Ron Fuller, Jimmy Golden and Dustin Rhodes are examples of lanky wrestlers, who made good. Unlike George, despite their family connections, they started as jobbers.

When Jeff Jarrett became a wrestler, Jerry Jarrett sent him to other territories that he didn't book or promote for this exact reason. He wanted Jeff to succeed and make it on his own without him. This guy.....hell when his father Nick retired, George had to as well because NO promoter wanted him.

Sounds like a simple minded kid, so it’s hard to really hate him.

I always wonder why fathers put their sons in these positions knowing they had no chance to succeed. Even if Gulas was a prodigy simply being who he was would be an issue by being in the main event so quickly in your fathers promotion. It seems like if a father wanted their son to have any chance to succeed youd send him to another territory with a promoter that you trust to let him develop outside of your promotion. And after he’s spent some time elsewhere developing and paying his dues, if he shows the ability to be in a top role; then you could bring him back for it and maybe not have it be a big issue since he would have a track record of success away from his father. You’d probably still have some pushback no matter what but at least then it wouldn’t be such blatant nepotism. Really is wild how some really successful territoru promoters let their sons tank their territory by forcing them to a position they weren’t deserving to be in even when their fans hated it.

When football coach Mike Shanahan's son Kyle was done playing college ball and was choosing between the NFL draft or going right into coaching, Mike said something like: Son, enter the draft if you want to. But as a player, they are always going to be trying to replace you, and the best you can hope for is to be just good enough that they can't. That's how a father should be realistic about the talent level and career prospect of their child.* I agree with those who say George should have been a jobber. I'll add that he should have been sent to someone else's promotion to job. Son, stay home and referee or hit the road to job. *Always trying to replace you is almost every coach and player in the NFL outside of Bret Farve and Tom Brady. I

Didnt JJ pull the same shit with Lawler?

Lmao Gosh damn 😂😂😂😂

Wow, this makes George sound simple minded, was he I wonder?

"Daddy says sell! Daddy says lay down! Daddy says put your right hand in, and put your left hand out, and you shake it all about! Pleaaaase!"

Wrestling is the devil Bobby Boucher.

Why does George look like Andy Kaufman?

George was what they used to call a Tall Drink o' Water but he couldn't work worth shit. Even Harley, who could wrestle a mop and make the mop look like a champion wrestler, couldn't work with him

Sounds like waterboy

5:08 LOL

George Gulas looks like he has the size, Jerry Jarret looks out of place.

This is like a.. proto-“Eugene” character. Except real.

Jeeeesus

I was at that match in Nashville between Gulas and Race. The fans didn't turn against Gulas, Race made Gulas look as if he was going to win. Yes Gulas was not very good and was not main event material.

George is the worst case of nepotism in wrestling.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

George Gulas must have been a dolt. I've only heard the name...didn't know anything about him.

George was simply misunderstood

Was Cornys rat named after George Gulas?

George is a basketball referee now and is terrible. He drives a car with a license plate that say “Spyder Man”

George Gulas. I never heard of him. A lot of wrestling fans in Memphis were familiar with him in the 1970s and 80s. It seems he was to pro wrestling what Ed Wood was to movies he made in the 1950s. They both flopped badly at their professions. A book in 1980 called The Golden Turkey Awards picked Ed Wood as THE All Time Worst Director. Will there be a pro wrestling book that will pick George Gulas as the sport's all time worst wrestler?

George Gulas...bad...very bad.

What’s with the black swirls under you name on the logo jim?? Really cheap and doesn’t even fit correctly lol

People can shit on Vince McMahon, but he never tried to make Shane a main event superstar.

No man should ever, ever, ever call his father "Daddy." Girls use Daddy. Boys use Dad.

Shane mcmahon said that too.
