Fun little addition to Jim's story-My father was one of the arresting officers in Huntington. We were watching Clash of the Champions IX, and right after the Midnight Express turned on the Dynamic Dudes, he told me about how he arrested the Midnight Express's manager some years back. I remember being so mad at my dad for not throwing Jim in jail. I miss southern wrestling.
What a great memory and story to have to tell people. That’s great
When is Cornette NOT cutting a promo? I can see him at breakfast:
"Well, I'll tell you about these goddamn eggs..."
They seriously need to make a movie about Jim's life and times in the wrestling business. Have Jim as the consultant to keep it super accurate. That would be some essential viewing.
A TV series would be better, No way you could do Jim's life justice in two hours
I'd watch it
@Louis Louis I think Bill Hader would be perfect.
@Louis Louis Bill Hader is good. Steve Carell too. Do the hair, clothes, appropriate weight etc
@@DMS-pq8 true. Even better
"I'm swinging that thing over my head and im hitting men, women, old people.. I don't know how many people i hit. It sounded like a helicopter had flown into a flock of seagulls, but fuck it" 😂😂
lmfao
"PFFFbtbtbtpt" goodness, Corny.
Some fan from the 80s who got wacked by Jim's tennis racket is probably listening to this while experiencing horrific PTSD
Hahaha!!
The best part about the internet is hearing the stories from the old wrestlers from the 80s and 90s.
These stories are GOLD
My boss is a 80yr old Attorney in NE Ark. He represented 3 guys in early 80s that destroyed Jerry King Lawler's Cadillac in the parking lot after a match. The value of the Cadillac made it a Felony. My boss got the Trial continued 3 different times and The King finally came over to him after 3rd continuance and said hey man I cant keep coming back 4 this. I lose $ missing shows coming here for this and now I have to come again a 4th time. My Boss said Mr. Lawler We would be glad to plea to a Misdemeanor if u can convince the Prosecutor to let us plead to that. Boss said he saw the lights go on in Kings head n he went started talking to Prosc. Boss said he had a call by end of day to plead to a Misdemeanor in Court the Next Day w Stipulation King didnt have be there! Lol! King was losing more $ than Cadillac was worth, lol, 80s Rastlin!
Great story.......I could listen to these old guys tell "back in the day" stories
This why we come here!
Intrigued and awed by Travis's artwork!
Thrilled and humored by Jim's amazing stories!
These “In The News” segments have always been some of my absolute favorite bits on the show. You always find such lost gold in these stories.
All Corny had to say was "Huntington, West Virginia" and I knew there'd be a good story out of it...Some of my family grew up in Point Pleasant, West Virginia so I know how crazy that region is.
When wrestling was wrestling. I love these stories.
My sister's friend once tried to sue Jerry Lawler for spitting on her at Louisville Gardens. Lol! I don't know how it turned out. I was very young.
C'mon Jim we need a documentary/ movie on your life it would be so interesting
Starring Tom Hanks...
@@positively_broad_st3780 Yeah possibly or Jim Carrey
@@Dakatari I think Hanks could do the promos better. Carey is clownish...
I'm up for that, it'll be like bond films 2 hours long and goes on forever. Start the production now.
@@T-Bag13 It definitely would be entertaining
Hopefully Jim Cornette has Stephen P. News on speed dial. :)
Whoever does the thumbnails.... you are a god. Thank you lol
Travis
Heckel
Travis Heckel is a BEAST!
Travis Heckel deserves a medal for the thumbnails, I am very tickled by Mr. Cornette's reactions in each thumbnail which confirms, that clip may have some humor involved 🤣
Emperor James E. beating men, women...
All hail Travis!!
That's Emperor AVGVSTVS IAMES ERNESTVS CORNETI
Jim is a lot more gangsta than we really know 😎
He has had more warrants than most gangstas as well lol 😆
@@stankeyegenetics7333 Jim: "Oh you got a gun? Bitch I got a TENNIS RACKET! 😈"
No wonder Russo's afraid of him.
If the actual Roman emperors, especially the mad ones like Nero and Commodus watches wrestling nowadays, a pretty 75% of the entire roster might be executed for putting a bad show
Someone would end up stabbing mcmahon in the back
"HE CALLED US SORRY"
"NO, I AM NOT SORRY!"
considering all the court cases in this story I’m surprised he didn’t plug the lawyer 😂😂😂
wholesome story about this country's legal system
Couldn't imagine being in the Sportatorium for World Class with that little rope. They allowed fans to go right up to the ring for autographs & pictures. Such a different time.
This is absolute quality. Could even listen to him doing just ads hes that entertaining. Jim you fucking legend.
Almost EVERYTIME I see or hear about the impressive rope barricade, I think of Gordy shoving that fan down just for the fan to get up and give him a thumbs up 😂😂
I havent laughed like this in a long time that I was actually crying from his description of getting 4 warrants for wacking fans, so much that I actually pictured him doing it which made me laugh all over again love that man for his contribution to the wrestling business goat
when I was a kid watching the NWA I always wondered why you and the midnight express was always running to the ring. Now I know.
Im From Wheeling WV Still Here.. The Wheeling Civic Center is now Called Wesbanco Arena..totally renovated.
It’s so cool when he talks about huntington wv or Ashland ky because I’m in south point Ohio a little village across the river not too many celebs talk about our little tri-state area.
I love hearing the Greensboro stories! Born and raised here!
If I found a genie with three wishes, one would be to have been in the business back in the late 70's/early 80's and to have worked or been around corny ROFLOLOL these are some of the best stories ever told.
He’s spot on, the civic center is on 3rd Avenue and the entrance to the courthouse is on 5th.. two blocks
He still knew where the darn RAILING came from... almost 30 years after the fact...wow!!!
the lawyers conspired together to take more of Jim's money. Jim blames the child for lying yet he says nothing about being shystered by the lawyers forcing a 2nd trial date.
Last time I was this early Ronnie Garvin was headbutting that kid
The opponents for Ronnie and Bruno Jr in Wheeling were the Road Warriors
This is always a treat
Cornette best heel in the game today the Volvo driving the post office flying pod cast subscribin' heavy weight champion of the internet wrestling talk of the world
That's one of the funniest fuckin things I ever heard!! 😆 ". . . I'm beaning women, men, old people ..."
I'm surprised the Dudley Boyz were never involved in kicking some ECW fans' asses. 🤣
They drew some damn heat like nobody else.
I've bubba ray straight punch a guy in the face .., spit on woman. Damn.
"It sounded like a helicopter had flown into a flock of seagulls."
Hail mighty Jim Cornette keep telling these stories of your wrestling days and that list of enemies Corny has would definitely be thrown to the lions in that artwork and Corny be worried what story did the lions tell and money was made and in selling of tickets
Never change corny. The experience and drive thru always help me get thru work and provide a bunch of laughs. Also Travis Heckel's artwork is fuckin fantastic top notch shit
Jim should have been able to win court costs from these cases.
"My Dad Is An Attorney" syndrome! remember Life before the Lawyers took over? 🙄
Bluff a buzzard off a gut wagon!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! HOLY SHIT THAT'S FUNNY!!
That Helicopter noise! LMFAO!
I Was at the 6-27-2001
*PanterA* Show, at TheHuntingtonCivicArena!
(Front Row for Slayer & PanterA!)
13:46...travis how was this not a thumbnail? lmao
The thumbnail for this made me laugh WAY TOO MUCH!
Jim does some of the most hilarious product promotions.
This manscaped ad was 👍🏻 🤣🤣
Love the thumbnail. Lmao
...that warrant, Sir, is for a man with a name which is not my own...
Having just found your podcast on here I must commend you Jim. You are still a wrestling genius and your stories are hilarious. I could listen to talk about the business all night.
would love another extended in the news segment. legitimately my favorite.
I remember watching Bruiser Brody vs. Dale Valentine (later Freebird Buddy Roberts) in Houston in 1978. After the match, this rather large woman kicked Bruiser Brody hard as he was walking away from the ring.
I saw Buzz Sawyer knock a fan out in Huntington Wv, Buzz was walking to the ring....and a fan confronted him on the way.. pushed Buzz....Buzz took him out with one punch. Circa 1983 or 84.

That Manscaped plug was classic...you guys should use it more often haha.
Moundsville... lmfao
“Crop mop ball-wipes” 😂😂😂
Jim definitely needs a movie about his life in wrestling. But have Bruce Prichard starring as Jim 😂😂😂😂😂
i witnessed JC hit a fan with the tennis racket in the 90s at the Altoona Jaffa Mosque. blood everywhere lol true
Speaking of the Dream Machine, I once saw him grab Jimmy Hart's cane and break it over a fan's arm. Lol! I think it was during a match between Dream Machine amd Lawler. It was at Louisville Gardens. They ended up fighting outside in the crowd. I think the fan wemt after Dream Machine, so he grabbed Jimmy's cane. Lol!
Jim said that fans can't get close enough to hug a babyface now because of all of the barricades. But I witnessed a couple of preteen girls hugging Dolph Ziggler at Smackdown a few years ago. This was in one of the sections beside the entrance ramp, and Dolph stopped on his way to the ring for the dark match after the taping. There was a barricade there, but just the one normally seen beside the entrance ramp. Fortunately, these girls just wanted a hug because I don't think that barricade (or the arena "security" employees stationed nearby) would have stopped a crazy fan from attacking Dolph or anyone else. As Jim said, there's no real heat now but if a time traveling fan from the 70s/80s had been in attendance, that barricade wouldn't have kept the heels safe.
My aunt in San Antonio was there when Some woman reached over and scratched Tully Blanchards face really Hard, Tully grabs her with both hands by the hair and drags her a good 4 feet and SLAMs her head down on that arena floor ! before the other wrestlers and stage crew broke it up. heard he was arrested
Wait, the media lied about a story??? No that never happens 🙄
I wish there was a series about the territory days. Like a drama/comedy series.
i saw a show in ocala florida when i was in high school and kevin sullivan was coming to the ring. a women slapped him across the face and he hit her. the police came but nothing happened to him. the police told her and i quote, "keep your fucking hands to yourself!" lol.
www.wrestlingdata.com/index.php?befehl=shows&show=130501 The card from the show in question. Bruno Jr and Garvin's opponents were, according to the website, the Road Warriors
I always wonder what stories those "fans" that wanna jump the barricade and jump in the ring try to tell the cops.
Great bulldog reference!
The reason why they have so much security is not because fans want to beat the heels. It's because they want to beat anyone to liven up the show.
Kids are better workers than the heals
I like that lion...
Lol I live in wheeling now lol I gotta ask around town about this
I'd love a Midnight Express TV show based on Jim's life.
Fed to the lions 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 love how the lawyers and media sensationalise things sometimes.
2,500.00$ u got off cheap.
It looks like The Land of Misfit Toys from Rudolph the red nose reindeer.
I hope Jim goes more into Altoona given I'm from there haha
He has a few videos about it out there. He and Kevin Nash both go into it in detail.
Why didn't you counter sue for legal fees? That would be allowed if youre being sued for a fallacious reason would you? I'm genuinely asking not being a smart ass.
16:16..... 10 months later
Friday march. 21,1986 huntington west Virginia. The midnight express nwa world tag team champions def the 🎸 rock n roll express - cornette hits 4 fans
I was there for that one
I just knew there would a Steven P. New ad with this segment.
Fuck manscapped.
Stories like the ones Corny's telling here are what it was like back in the territory days folks. Today the talent doesn't have to deal with that shit thanks to Vince exposing the business, pulling back the curtain & smarten up the fans & has made it an extension of Hollywood. Thanks for nothing Vince, you killed the business.
I wasn't even there it was Owen
🤣
Im glad I stopped.doin drugs because I been a fan of this podcast for years and I listen to every episode. I don't remember this lol.
So Steven P. New pays for his plugs on this show with legal services for Jim.
Emperor Corny sends Russo to the Lions
RIP DOOM
Hope jim cornette didn"t meet a guy name big bubba in jail 😀
Who would play Jim cornnette ?
Monday aug 3,1983 gcw wheeling west Virginia ronnie garvin & david sammartino. Vs the road warriors- ronnie garvin babyface headbutt fan. Garvin sued in aug. 7,1987 while in jcp because jcp - merged with cwg. Ole anderson New promotion in april 85 not gcw because vince mcmahon bought gcw. 7-14-84 & tbs time
Wait... the first guy got headbutted by Ronny Garvin, it didn't crack his skull, and he goes whining to the police? Pussy In Japan they would take that as a badge of honor and thank him for it.
And because Jim was defending himself against fans. He's not allowed in Canada. Explain that one
