Jim Cornette on Promoters Carrying Money 

Only if Repo wanted to sleep with the fishes

Lmfao 😂

Credit cards were also a fairly new thing in the 70s and spotty where you could use them into the 80s.

@@clarknapper3933 Yeah, some places were "brand loyal" so might only take Visa....and for all the remote places wrestling happened in, I'd imagine network connectivity and card processing (remember when theyd make a carbon of your card) would be rather sparse

Plus traveling state to state having cash if you were pulled over and them being wrestlers probably were all drinking and smokin trees so you might need a hundred to get any small town corrupt cops to turn their heads!

Agreed!! Id love to own some type of wrestling shirt from artwork of his

memory like a steel trap

@@Savethebees9 I don't get it???

Because nothing escapes his memory, like a steel trap.

Yep, I stopped watching WWE in 2011. The only things that I want to see all involve Jim; especially matches. Unfortunately it is not doable since it would result in Jim dying from sheer exhaustion.

No idea what it costs to go to a live wrestling event but baseball, football, basketball, etc have done everything they can to price their fans out of being able to go see them. And each year they(people in suits who don’t even actually care about sports and are just there for business purposes) try and figure out whyattendance and ratings decline.

Whn I was growing up in mid 80s-early 90s in Indianapolis we got local wrestling shows for $5 every single time somehow.. Even whn Sabu,Abdullah the Butcher and Tracy Smothers were working the main events at a few of them.

That’s basically been replaced by High School football/basketball in my neck of the woods.

Now adays u can make 20 to 30 bucks if u take your family to a wrestling show wwe and impact pay fans to see a shitty show and fill seats

My local promotion runs shows about once a month , incorporates former WWE stars, and is about 2 hours of quality entertainment. Front row is 30 bucks. Now, I tried booking tickets upcoming to RAW in Philly. Not a PPV just a Monday Night Raw. So not even close to the ring, not ringside, but anywhere in the lower bowl was well over $200 dollars per ticket. Beyond outrageous. How anyone could ever dream of taking their family to a RAW would have to spend a months salary just to park & get in the door.

How long ago was this?

Called the internet cuz it INTERcepts.

Robert Fulton was such a great heel too

And also the publicity Twitter privacy debate. Thanks for reading.

🤣 I Been Asking On Cornette Take On Bray Wyatt For About A Month Now. Brain Mentioned To Cornette For A Brief Like Four Experiences Ago. They Said They Will Speak On Bray Wyatt Once Cornette Take A Look.

Heartedly Tinman Adonis IKR! Honestly I'm surprised they still haven't specially after that awesome entrance at Summerslam! I hope they talk about it next week

@@KayBearYT Right. Bray Wyatt Is Simply The Best Period. The Guy Can Make Anything He Do Work. Anytime You Can Intrest Adults With A Children's Show Persona. I Been A Fan Of Him.

Heartedly Tinman Adonis Spot on! I have been marking out for the Fiend like a kid at a candy store or maybe something Jim might say, a virgin at a brothel lmao😂

@@KayBearYT I Been His Biggest Fan Since He Was Talking About Taking Down The Machine Back In Nxt. Gimmick Alone He's Awesome. You'd Believe He's Actually That Way In Real Life. That's How Serious He Takes This.

if they do anything different they will be fools

He really is. I love listening to him talk about pretty much anything lol

😂😂😂😂 He is definitely not known as just the guy who hates AEW. Real wrestling fans know he's a historian and a great wrestling heel.

The only people who only know him as “the guy who doesn’t like AEW” are mindless AEW fanboys. It’s amazing how he’s still able to draw heat after all these years. It’s impossible for me to not like the guy. Jim really is the best. 😂

I just recently found this guy and he's great. But, you're right. The more I listen the more I can hear he's very much still a grifter at heart.

well he was last week but wasn't around for the NY Tapings because he doesn't like traveling to NY but he just got released from MLW because of sum Comments he made to Jordan grace from Impact Calling her a butterface and got in a spat with Sum other dude

Thank you for letting me know. I love Jim and i think he is funny but sometimes his mouth gets him into trouble

True dat

Jim's not with MLW for the time being don't know if he is going back any time soon

Joseph Randolph, nope, Corny is talking about the town in southern Indiana.

Huntingburg Indiana

holy run on sentence batmanuel

Well, granted, Jim is of the era where you didn't really publicize how much were you making ...unless you wanted to show off and spend an obscene amount of money. Jim also was looking and securing the finances for himself and his tag-teams too. There's a reason Jim never went broke in the business outside of SMW closing up.

It’s a wonder that the IRS never had agents following these shows around. Their increased take would have easily paid for the agents salary.

@@Andysnyc He didn't even go broke when SMW closed down. Because he closed it before he could go broke.
