Jim Cornette on Tennessee Wrestling History 

I live in Nashville Tennessee, have all my life. I went to wrestling events here as a kid when they were having shows in the fair grounds in a white building, I have pictures of myself as a kid with the Rockin Roll Express Bill Dundee, Jamie Dundee, Moon dogs. Never got a picture with Jerry Lawler but I do remember as a kid when I was near ringside, he was doing his spot to Tommy Rich I believe by hitting his head on the gate he said, said back up a bit son so you won't get hit. Great memories!!

I agree with Jim. I find all this so fascinating. My hometown is West Memphis, AR. I grew up watching wrestling every Saturday morning back in the late 70’s through the 80’s. Also got to attend many Monday nights at the Mid-South Coliseum. Great memories, and again, I love learning more and more about the history of the territory before I was born.

Corny needed this palate cleanser after having to review backstage donnybrooks, people going into business for themselves and hours of media scrums. And we needed it too. Thanks, Corny.

So glad Jim got back in touch with Weasel Dooley

Eddie Gilbert, Tommy rich, Doug Gilbert, The fabulous ones and the midnight express

Can't believe they let Jim do the artwork for this video

Yeah I'm going to have to get this book now, you just sold a book to me Jim.

London Kentucky loves ya

A bad attitude is like a flat tire. You can't go anywhere until you change it

Everybody gather round. This is gonna be good.

Yay!!! Woohoo!!! Fanfare with trumpets blaring!!! Something refreshing to listen to 🥳😂🤣

ahh yeah now it's time for the good stuff thank you Jim thank you Brain.

Love hearing about the stud (welch/fuller)

Well those of us who kept saying what a creep Devon Nicholson aka Hannibal were proven right. He was locked up in jail for assault on a woman. He was just released to his parents lol a 40 year old man supervision. The goober also cancelled a show he was promoting at the last second and stiffed all that bought a ticket , which was probably 20 people but still. We kept saying there was something off with this guy and for women to steer clear.

This video starts at 0:00

We have to stay sharp on our wrestling history!

More classic wrestling -less politics -less reviews of meaningless modern wrestling -More classic wrestling So in short, More classic wrestling boys. Inject it in my veins, thank you.

I can remember the Rockin Roll Express as a kid watching them in Morristown,TN

"And i asked Jeff. Why is Vince Russo on the show ? And he did the Tennessee two step around the question" - Jim Cornette

It's funny because you can tell Brian was only half ass listening. He's usually not like that.

All but said Lawlers name for bad memory lol

Where is the Clash at the Castle review?

This is the Jim Cornette i want to hear more of. Growing up in Australia i never got to see any of the territories and need people like Cornette to keep these stories alive

Smoky Bars is my wrestling name

Jim and his "statute of limitations". Jim and his "inflation calculator". Jim and his "world series" comparisons. This is like professor Corny's greatest hits.

I have always lived in Winchester Tennessee I was a young teenager in the '80s I can say I was glued to Memphis wrestling ever Saturday without fail. Great memories

I am Chinese

I love this stuff.

I need mister Last...to mover a little faster...with the drop's....news has been moving fast the last couple of weeks 💯🙏👏

Wooo

Let's get it

Happy Friday, friends.

1:00 TWAAHHHT, not TWOT

I love this kind of content , I’m watching Memphis wrestling as we speak in on uswa 91

I prefer more of this. Whether you like or dislike todays product, listening to Corny is almost like a Trump ralley "Im right your wrong, all the silly nicknames and sing alongs". NOBODY knows more about wrestling history than Corny and ill sit for hours listening to him talk about the old days and not modern times.

I wonder if nuns will be offended by this podcast.

Modern wrestling sucks old school wrestling is a lot better and Jim's knowledge of old school wrestling is Absolutely fascinating Jim's the best and I get smarter every day because of these podcasts thanks Jim and Brian.

Wouldn’t review Sheamus and Gunther as we speak tells me all I need to know.

Those of you who say you could listen to Jim read the phone book here you go. This isn't far off. I for one can't take it.

Do the Biden crime family history next.

History repeats itself. Read a book.

Zzzzzzzzz....
