    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.

    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.

    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.
