Hear how Dusty Rhodes originally envisioned the Night of the Skywalker match to really go. Cut to NWA Wrestling's Starrcade 1986 featuring an epic scaffold match between the Midnight Express and the Road Warriors.
Cornette agreed to take the fall but Big Bubba Rogers (aka Big Boss Man later in WWF) failed to catch him at all, leaving Jim to take a nasty, awkward fall.

4:33 famous cornette face
Lol so funny and even more funny is 90 odd percent of the fans that like it are unaware of the fact its a coke influenced and induced facial tick which is a direct result of the sniffling of the devil's dandruff
@@jaycuthbert245lmfao is this true??
@@mattbaillargeon5688 GOOD old days! bring back attitude (and cocaine... actually Tony Yeyo did bring it back , but just to his lockeroom.)
face of a nut job
Jim Cornette has had the same glasses since 1985
He got them off jeffery dahmer
They’re awesome 😂
My old man calls them Pedo glasses.
Underated comment 😂@@Bigtimecharlie1980
They look like they are Cartier / pretty damn expensive, so I see why lol
That landing was BRUTAL, god bless him for having the stones to take that drop.
Let’s see Russo top that.
Scaffold matches usually sucked anyway, gimmick match that never delivers what it advertised
@@pulsarlights2825
The scaffold match let the fans believe the heels were finally going to be put out of wrestling for good.
And then when one of them really was injured for a shoot, the fans were like ehh owww we didn’t need to see that.
Heyman was meant to take a bump off the scaffold in Memphis i think but refused so Lawler punched him out. big Bubba Rogers only got $5000 for climbing the scaffold while the others got $10,000 so he left and went to WWF and became the Big Bossman
LOL ask Vic Grimes about that. @@pulsarlights2825
Meanwhile....."and Hawk and I are belly laughing on that scaffold..." -RWA
Just listening to Corny retell this event is giving me the cold sweats. Damn!
“Drop and roll”
When you’re falling? Well you already got the drop part.
Sometimes I still randomly think about bubba saying “jimmy you fell so fast!” Lol
I remember that match, and I definitely remember that moment. That landing was downright nasty.
#RIPHawk&Animal
I remember the commercial for the video of this. "Who wins? Who learns to fly?" Asthey pause the Cornette fall in midair
It still amazes me that nobody got killed on those scaffold matches. 👋crazy idea. To do those type matches.
One of my best childhood memories was watching a live scaffold match in Alexandria, Louisiana between the RocknRoll Express and the Midnight Express. Mid South wrestling was awesome in the 80s.
Could you imagine a Jim Cornette/ Bobby Heenan podcast? Our heads would explode!🤘
I remember seeing video of the fall. It sounded horrible-BOOOM! Something had to give, and boy, did it.😱
Jim Cornette has been clearing his throat since 1985😂
What Cornette didn't know at this point was that Bubba had been getting high with one of the Road Warriors before the match which likely l led to him mistiming his catch
Here I am thinking the Cornette Face was a face that he made and held for a second or two, and its actually a quick, blink-and-you-miss-it thing. 😄
As a person that works within the ski and snowboard industry, my knee's have been brutally abused over the last 30 years. What was once 100+ days on the mountain in a season, is now 1-3 days on the mountain in a season. It's not about the take off, but rather how the landing gear is going to perform. Even if all goes well during a good session, the pain that lasts for several days on end afterwards, is just too unbearable.
I’m a young guy but boarding kicks my ass still😂 I work in at a resort and still only get a few days each season because I’m food and bev so my body already hurts as is
Dust knew how to eat!
Is Dusty the only NWA Champion in history that could not even do one pull up?
ugh as someone who got their knee drained and scoped i had flashbacks of the drain procedure. guy took 3 giant tubes of blood out of my knee, I almost broke my teeth gritted so hard. Thankfully I was smoking weed back then because i could have easily developed an opiate problem. But I ended up with one anyways so there's always that.
NELSON POINTING AT CORNY
"HA HAAAAA!"
😂 moments = 4:34 is the now most famous black and white logo of all time. 0:35 is one of many infamous examples of a *cornettes cough* and they come out like an RKO outta nowhere! 😂
4:33 *
When you hear these discussions, you get a really different perspective on wrestling and how they operate and work.
It took balls for Jim Cornette to go up on that scaffold. Bubba was suppose to catch him when he fell. Cornette blew out his knees. I wouldn't have done it. Lol
If Jim didn't love wrestling so much he could have made it as a comedian....could listen to his stories for hrs
If anybody’s seen the 2003 shoot it’s excellent
I will never forget this match ever!💯
Trampoline cowboys could never... Epic bump. The first Foley off the cell in wrestling as far as my memory
Big Bubba and Road Warrior Hawk were both higher than kites,Not to mention Hawk had a broken bone in his leg
He must have lost me in the lights 😂😂😂😂
These stories are so entertaining. I like how he talks about bubba rogers getting excited when he gets his first paycheck
Dusty was so stressed after Cornette's injury that he let him self go after that. He stopped going to the gym, running marathons and he even quit that strict diet he was on....
I would love for Cornette have Tommy Young, the referee in that match, on his podcast. Young's reaction is one of OH MY GOD when saw Cornette land on the mat.
The shirt!
Hey Cornell thanks for entertaining Us in the NWA days boy I miss those days with road warriors you guys does he rose Ric flair Ronnie Garvin Jimmy Garvin all of them all of you was great times watching you guys thank you
I didn't really watch any other wrestling besides the WWF back then, because none of the stations we had carried those shows.
I do remember seeing that match somewhere later and was astounded they even did that. That was a nasty bump.
Hopefully he doesn't have any lingering issues from it.
Yes, matches back then could be hard to find. Today click a link, put in your cc number or put on cable bill and hit confirm. Back then as you said, not all companies carried PPV events.
I remember watching it cracking up I hated Corny
I would love to know Cornette's ranking of the top 5 Managers of all time. Personally, my Top 3 would be Bobby Heenan, Jim Cornette, JJ Dillon. 4 and 5 are tough.
Freddie blasie, cpt lou, sensational sherri, jimmy hart. It's tough 😅
Gary Hart.
Jimmy Hart and Paul Heyman round out the top 5.
Cornette has publicly said many times that Bobby Heenan is the greatest of all time but he is happy to fight with JJ Dillon for number 2. JJ said the same thing. He also said he stole a lot of ideas from Heenan and Jimmy Hart
How about the " Pride of Mobile Alabama " Percibal Pringle ? A great manager indeed. Really did nice work as the " Undertaker " also
Jim cornett is the best story teller of all time
Is this filmed at Castle Cornette
I don't know considering this interview was around 24 years ago
I can confirm it is! I remember that fireplace.
Cornette
Im no expert but im a certified lunatic when it comes to an adrenaline rush.
You truly need to commit to these kind of things without hesitation.
Cornie is pure entertainment Gold!
Ouch!!!!
Ole Corny took some abuse it's part of the business but I am glad that was only thing that happened it could have been Alot worse Corny was one of the best in NWA he wasn't afraid of getting hurt
Jimmy you gell so fast
Outlaw Mud Show
I know exactly how he felt as i had both bones in my left forearm sticking out after a fall. Believe me when I tell you, it is absolutely excruciating.
Parachutists do try to drop and roll, but they try to time it so it's like jumping off the top of a 6 foot ladder.
Was Starrcade 86 before or after Nikita turning babyface? I know Magnum's accident was in October 86, but the Flair vs Nikita main event has the vibe of two heels going against each other. I assume just by watching the match Nikita was still basically a heel. I guess Dusty was desperate after Magnum was off the roster.
If my memory is correct, Starcade 86 was right before Magnum's car wreck. However, Flair & Nikita had a couple of heel vs heel matches, with 1 of them being Starcade 86.
@@Fnoel98356 Magnum's wreck was October 14, 1986, Starrcade was Thanksgiving in November. I wasn't really following JCP at the time, so I don't remember the TV lead up to Starrcade....I guess some of those TV shows are probably out there to watch...
Nikita turned baby face a a couple weeks prior to Starrcade ‘86.
@@pulsarlights2825 them maybe it's The Great American Bash 1986 that I am thinking of. Because I do remember that Flair & Nikita had a heel/heel match or 2 sometime in 1986. & It was a big event that it was at .
this was the one time in his life that cornette called out to god 😂 and god said screw you corny.
Corny never dials the Gee Ohh Dee.
unsafe mudshow worker
Bubba was STONED
Just bubba?
This interview was like in 1999.
So?
Overweight managers with no athletic ability are always gonna get hurt
Honestly this was a dumbass spot even with a more trained guy .
i heard cournette is still a virigin , I think was like 3 wrestling in a interview
Jimmy is lucky his career wasn't ended that night , and fans would've lost great talent think if Bobby Eaton was having trouble landing something is right he is like a cat one of the best ever in the ring
love how gravity can play face in the ring lmao couldn't have happened to a more appropriate person
Jim's a cool MFer. Not a fan of wrestling but some of the stories are entertaining.
Tuck and roll knee drain feel likes your brain is being sucked out of the top of your head not fun 😢
Bro got skinnier for like 6 months in 2000 loll
Probably because he was away from corporate wwe and Crockett and everybody, just running ovw by then I think lol
5:43 true. science has confirmed. Cornette actually fell faster than gravity allows. a real miracle. though Jim says it didn't feel like one.
I know some hate him, but he can really tell a story. I love listening to him.
The vast majority dont like him, only a small percentage of stereotypical wrestling fans...thats why the Paidofile Gruumer has to buy 95% of his subs.
Jimmy should've sued them having him do a high risk move that could've killed his knee I bet was swelled my knee got so big in high school I wore baggy sweats so my mom didn't know I got hit by a car at a high school party but now they still want to scope my knees but still haven't I bet he went years on destroyed knees
When he hit you turn your head , you knew he got hurt it's like when they show in slow motion the hit and you see the injury happen , same when he falls , Jim even if he fell how cheerleaders fall his weight the height no person in history maybe the real HULK could've
Roll Tide
It's Trumps fault
A ultimate scapegoat for those with TDS
😂
Awesome
it was a stupid match with a stupid ending resulting in injury. Robbed fans of real entertainment.
The fall just gave him more brain damage
Vince Russo said Cornette messed up his knee in that scaffold match because Jim is a mark.
And Russo got a concussion from Goldberg because he is a what...
@@breno7950a gaping asshole?….
Why are you even listening to Russo to begin with.
Mud show.
Jim Cornette must loved the business so much that he was willing to fall from the scaffold and land feet first into the ring canvas. Keep in mind, Jim was LEGITMATELY scared of heights.
Poor Ray Traylor (Big Boss Man). Ray was so high that he couldn't catch Jim in time. Cornette must've yelled at him for not catching him.
Cornette also blew his knee out a couple of other times. One was the night before the tuxedo match with Paul Heyman at Great American Bash 90. He's talked about this on his pod. The other was Summerslam 96 during the Vader vs HBK match. He's also had to have his groin stapled and had his head shaved twice. Not to mention dressing up as a woman to attack Ricky Morton during a match
His road schedule was also insane during the 80s. not just the travel but eating and finding hotels. This was when you worked 6 or 7 nights a week and did double shots on the weekend. I think he said from the time he got into the business to 94 he spent 1 christmas and one thanksgiving away from home because all the other times he was on the road
I cannot believe the road warriors did this to 'ol Jimmy, a despicable act but i expected nothing less from the road warroirs
Corny, we thank you for your sacrifice
oh good grief, from the bottom , he barely went 3 feet
I love that Cornette respects Stacy and his relationship so much that he makes sure to basically spit on his previous wife's name whenever he mentions her.
Hell I think this clip is so old it's before he met Stacy
@@frostedbutts4340 think the cow is sitting next to him...he acknowledges the it by looking at it.
This is why cornette is so against trampoline wrestling and AEW he has been hurt doing the crazy stuff and he knows the younger guys will get hurt doing indy crap.
No cause they know how to bump
I remember that match
