Jim Cornette Plays Guess The Program 

These have become probably overall my favorite segments on the show. So relaxing and informative

Hearing Jim get frustrated over being close to the correct year for the program is always entertaining.

I’m always happy when we get a Guess the Program

As a young wrestling fan who grew up on WWE territory propaganda, I had very little understanding of wrestling prior to 1990 but even then I still didn’t understand the inner workings outside of what WWE pushes. I started listening to Jim 7 years ago and now I have a significantly stronger understanding of the history of pro-wrestling and the success of the territories. But what I love about “Guess the Program” is that despite my newfound knowledge on the topic, I see how truly insignificant my understanding is compared to Jim’s VAST comprehension of the history of wrestling to a degree where he can guess dates, locations, and territories based off of five matches on a card. Jim is truly amazing.

One of the best segments on the podcast

Jim's impression of Ernie Ladd calling Bundy a big fat pos never gets old.

I always enjoy the common jim cornette confused "what?" in these clips"😂😂😂.

The MSG St Paddys Day was their regularly scheduled MSG Show. In fact Wrestlemania was a matinee as the Rangers hosted the Mapleleafs that night

That yaaay at the beginning takes me out😂

Best segment ever on any podcast 😊

Another clue for the St. Patrick's Day card is that Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart hadn't started teaming up as the Hart Foundation yet.

That last card (St. Patrick's Day, MSG) is on the WWE/Peacock network in its entirety.

There is such wonderful mutual respect between these two. Not something you see expressed every day in Podcastland or in Realityland.

NWF Cleveland had a mailing list and regularly sent out event, TV taping and other info to fans. Probably few remain, though, since the paper stock was obviously not meant for any kind of permanence.

Greg Valentine didn't leave Mid-Atlantic until early 1984 so I knew that WWF card had to be in 1984.

Jim Cornette playing guess the program is so much fun because his knowledge of old school wrestling is so interesting Jim is the best and i get smarter every day listening to this.

I'm happy if I get even close 😁 Corny wants the exact day 🤔 These two are so educated on the biz, thx for the knowledge fellas 🙏

My favourite More and more to come please

I cant wait for them to see the forbidden door press conference jericho with the fakest angry rant at sting and darby who just sat there and let him yell whilst tony doing his fakest adam pierce impression it was hilarious

Wild Bill Longson invented the piledriver...

“Bundaaay! Ya stealin’ from Mid-South Wrestling.”

Always amazing to listen to this segment

The last program Brian named had to be Madison Square Garden, what a card that couldn't take in other places but there. Plus the giveaway for me by guessing the year was the 6 man take with Andre and Big John

I got the Gorgeous George program square on the nose. I think that may be the first one I've ever gotten even close on

Just once i want to see Brian pull out a random TNA card just to screw with Jim. I bet that would be funny

For Jim to get as close as he did on most of them shows how much he knows about the business. Agree with him or not, he knows his sh*t.

Leo Nomellini was a HOF player for the San Francisco 49ers

"We are wondering if Leo will be able to move the big Mexican with his powerful tackle..." OOOH MY!

Jim Cornette sounds like Shaggy 😂

before Tully and Arn went to the WWE but the Sheephearders were still there. This was when Nikita Koloff had hair when he wrestled Al Perez. Definitely 88!

I always love a GTP segment. I'll take this over reviews of modern wrestling that I don't watch or give a damn about any day of the week.

"material from my personal collection"...so I guess no chance of Corny getting right "Prison Vixens III" eh?

Honestly, one of my favorite segments from JC's podcast. Love hearing his knowledge of the history of pro-wrestling :)

Leo Nomellini is in the Pro Football hall of fame. So next time you see an argument online on who is the best pro football player to have a wrestling career, you know what the correct answer is.

LOVE THIS!!!

On the last card, I thought the giveaway on the year would be that Rick McGraw was on the card.

I’m getting good at this from watching so many lol I’m at least able to guess the state and the decade correctly

I am more impressed when they miss it by 1 year than when they get it right.

This is exactly why we stand behind Jim and Brian! No other duo has this level of knowledge on the past wrestling. Charles and I are starting our podcast soon! Charles in Michigan hit me up buddy, we can handle the late 80's thought current day wrestling history! I'll have you know! We will succeed Jim and Brian one day, we are the future lol. If anyone wants to be on the podcast let one of us know.

Id rather have an hour of these than a raw review tbh 😂

1983 Jim

Love these segments

Totally unrelated but we need a Shit Stain Omnibus guys. I could listen to Jim shit on Shit Stain 24/7.

I was thinking 1983 on the first one until he said Valentine since The Hammer worked several weeks after Starrcade in December 1983 and maybe early 1984 as well for Crockett and Snuka on top as a face meant it couldn't have been Valentine's previous run.

This is a game that should be played be Ole Anderson!

My best friend grew up in a tiny Town in upstate New York called St johnsville that has maybe a 1200 population and a tiny high school that graduates about 35 people each year. In the year you thought it was, 1983, the WWF did the tiniest of spot shows in this little high school outside of Utica. I am in possession of a developed role of old 110 Kodak film from that show where pretty much every seat was ringside. And I have pictures from ten feet away of Andre, snuka, etc. They couldn't have drawn more than 500 people I'm guessing maybe 1,000 because the building wouldn't have held more than that. I have searched high and low in old record books trying to find the show and I cannot find it anywhere, but I know it happened because I have the pictures in my hand with the develop date on the back. Why on Earth would you send your featured attractions to a spot show that couldn't hold more than 1,000 people?!

the amount of uses of "fellow" on these programs is amusing

London Kentucky loves you guys

First time I’ve ever got one right!

Thanks guys

Wow the 1st program was the day I was born.

We get a rare Barry O reference.

I enjoy this , give Jim harder ones....Jim is good at this

I was there and didnt know it was STL

Jim is pretty good at this game. Quiz Brian next

I love this segment ! Sometimes I nail it pretty close , other times I have no clue ! LOL ! Lets see how I do .

right or wrong, close or way off, listening to Cornette's logic and knowledge at work makes this always a good listen

These are my favorites also

I got more years correct than Jim. 😂

Jim should've thought about Greg Valentine's I-C title reign. That would've put him at the 1st WrestleMania. The Hammer was WWF tag team champions with Brutus Beefcake going into WrestleMania 2...

I miss the Drive-Thru 😢

The duck soup!

Houston Texas promoter Morris Sigel, beast

Guess the program is great, I just hope we get a return of ‘Reviewing wrestler Cameo’s’ someday. I’ve never laughed so much.

Hendrix:Live at Winterland is arguably the best live performance Jimi ever gave Which is saying a lot

I thought The Samoans had proper names by then.

Oh goody It's guess the program time!!

Can we get a Guess The Program Omnibus Vol 2?

Yay!!!

My favorite!!

This was fun guys brought back memories

I guessed at 1985 because of the IC title match.

I beat Jim Cornette for a second time in these Guess the Programs which I should be either happy, or disgusted haha! I may be on the young side, but love the history of wrestling when it WAS wrestling with actual wrestlers and not little spotters like the indie looking boys and girls today. We really should create a game like this that stars Jim Cornette in a board game of wrestling trivia. I bet it would sell off the shelves like hot cakes!

Boy, they started these cards late back in the day. I'm used to the New Japan cards that start at like 6:30 or 7 in the evening.

"He was always smiling" / "You can see the racial overtones there" ......what?

Love the guess the program segments. Absolute gold

I guess we was wrong bro

Guess the Program! 👏

I guessed 83 for the 1st card too

Bender is great!

These are classic Jim videos, Jim proving his in depth knowledge of wrestling, completely void of cm junk fanboy service. More like this please.

Hey derick

Not a fan of this segment of the show. To be honest I like when they talk about new subjects that aren't wrestling for a little bit like South park or their favorite movies,the religion thing was gold. This seems way to repetitive. There's only so many times I can hear someone guess what year it is

Finally

first, look how special i am for it

I’ll probably be crucified for saying this but this is my least favorite thing on the cornette podcast ever. Whenever they do these guess the program I just fast forward. To each his own I guess
