@@planexshifterjim enjoys pro wrestling more than anything, he can retire from everything else and still talk too brian a few hours a week about wrestling, it'll help keep him sharp and he'll still get paid cuz we'll all still listen cuz he's the best.. when he gets as delusional as Ole Biden he can quit everything
I can barely keep on top of my google calendar and appointments... Jim's meticulous record keeping and notes over 40 years still sees the light of day today
I picture it all being stored in some spare room that to anyone else probably looks like a complete disaster, just a total mess with boxes that say stuff like "CROCKETT GATE RECEIPTS JAN-MAR 88" written with one of those permanent makers that gives you a good buzz scattered all over the place, but he can still find any document he needs in under 30 seconds.
@The_Great_Hambino that's Metzler. Ever see his office? Looks like 10 tornadoes went through it. Jim's is well organized, you can see it in youtube videos
I'm always amazed at how Jim is able to keep detailed notes and records of all these dates. Happy belated birthday Jim and thank you for all the great entertainment over the decades as a manager/booker/podcaster. Looking forward to many more. You and Brian are the best.
I remember having my tickets for the Bash tour in 88 or 89 in lexington Ky , my 10 year old self wearing Sting face paint like a dork .but i was excited as could be . We get there and a sign on the door said Cancelled due to low ticket sales . Thats how bad they were doing at the time .
This was a great topic idea. I always like to hear what life was like in the territories. Maybe he can do other holidays in the territories or maybe the holiday week if there's no shows on the day.
A big "Thank you for everything" to Jim, Brian and Travis.. and everbody else involved in this. Keep up the good work, guys! Greetings from Germany. RhakaKhan!
Yeah, I'm generally ok with most spiders, but I won't go near 4 unless they are in a tank. The Brazilian wandering spider, Sydney funnel web spider, black widow spider, brown recluse spider! Fuck those flamming bags of dogshit lol.
You know what's crazy....I am from St.Martin. Wrestling fan all my life. To hear Jim say St.Martin is crazy lol. But I knew NWA ran shows here back in the 80's.
@@Kingmaker33 i like it all just depends on my mood... right now I have some sunrise 64 which is a hybrid and I have some Skunk #1 which is a sativa... hope you're having a outstanding weekend brother
Jim going through the mid south schedule kinda shows you how the wrestlers had to learn how to work.. so they wouldn't destroy their bodies quickly. Imagine the indy guys or Darby working 5 nights a week
Brian has been teasing us about his problems with Ring Of Honor ownership for years now! Not knowing him personally I wouldn't even know where to start, beyond Rob Feinstein, but he had been gone for over half a decade by 2010.
My birthday is August 20th. Most wrestling would be either after my birthday or before. Also most WWF/WWE ppvs were on Sundays. Recently any wrestling on my birthday has been mostly on the weekly TV shows.
St Maarten is east of the US and British Virgin Islands which are east of Hispaniola (Haiti/DR). Beautiful island. I'd love to visit there and St Thomas again someday.
@@mustafamrouweh7873 Yeah, but Jim is and saying god anything to an Atheist is like saying he is the Loch Ness Monsters gift for wrestling. It's a waste of time and it means nothing to him and to some it may even come across as offensive.
@@runawayuniverse you think I care about offending people? Or you Jim cares about being offended? Clearly we are talking about different people here Anyway have a nice day
@@mustafamrouweh7873 I didn't say Jim would be offended. I said some people might find it offensive. I also think you should care about offending people because living your life as an asshole just offending people because you want to or don't care about their feelings isn't cool. Just my opinion though.
We need a video on Plumber Moxley’s concussion and botched finish at Grand Slam against Ray Fenix. And also a video on Hijo De Vikings getting injured doing his gymnastics at an ROH taping. God, AEW is such a dumpster fire. It’s hard to look away tho
Oh no only 3 mins in && find out Jim had to spend a birthday in my lil boring ass hometown of Hopkinsville.. where we all have to drive 10 mins over to TN or other parts of KY to find anything to do 👻
With Jerichos arm broken, i wonder if Jim had considered turning Lance heel and teaming him up with Candido instead of Balls teaming with Chris. Heel Storm and Candido vs the RnR would have been great down the line.
Made a port visit to St Maarten, back in 1989, in the US Navy. It's half controlled by the Dutch and half by the French. it basically is a stop off for cruise ships, with casinos, duty free shops, beaches, bars & restaurants and brothels. The French side had a nude beach. Everything else is poverty. I wouldn't touch a game in the casinos, after watching the dealers (and I had a safe full of money and didn't need a temptation to empty it and end up in Levenworth). The beer was all Heiniken or Amstel Light, or Budweiser. The Dutch don't drink Heiniken or Amstel Light...they export it and drink the good stuff. The cruise ship tourists are loud, rude Americans, but the locals are friendly. I dealt mainly with Dutch port liason who everyone knew. All I had to do was ask around to find him, if we needed something. He was an interesting guy; Dutch, lived in Canada, settled in St Maarten. he had done National Service in The Netherlands and Canada; and, when he came there, he was the only guy on the island with military experience and found himself training what passed for a military. We drank beers and talked and I noticed a couple of real gorgeous women walk by and he said "Columbian." I asked how he knew. He said he knew which "house" they worked in and then told me about the brothels. Didn't find out if his info was accurate. Not my scene. nice guy though, about as laid back as you could be and still able to provide services for real clients, like pumping bilges and the like, in a professional manner.
I just went to St. Maarten (Netherlands side) very nice. Phillipsburg was pretty cool. I'm glad I didn't see that spider though. I would have killed myself.
No 1986 Las Vegas was awesome old school Strip still thats the year my family moved down there from Alaska i was 7 but my Dad was a coked up Cab driver and man did we do some cool shit ate at all the cool hotel casinos restaurants because they used to be the buffet style or cheap at least. He grew up in Vegas during the late 60’s to the late mid 70’s back in the big Mob days so he would drive me around showing me all the cool spots they used to run they had a pretty good footprint there in 86 but i think more low key or 86 wasn’t far from their takedown. Cops were freaking ass’s first time i got a gun drawn on me first time i saw a dead body first time i learned about gangs. We lived in north town in a apartment right off the strip i could see the circus circus clown from my street. My favorite stories about those times was me and my dad meet Siegfried and Roy at a He-man on ice show and we were in their seats so they instead sat with us and we watched the show and shared popcorn i knew they were a great magic show team with tigers back then but was still to young or dumb to understand they were a couple or didnt care even then. Oh and that first summer my dad took me to lake Mead and let me jump in then decided it was a good idea to tell me that the reason it has world’s biggest catfish was because of all the dead mob hits they dropped in it over the years probably why im the way i am today RIP dad but ya those were the the good ol days last great decade i think for Vegas before the new strip was built and they replaced all the historic spots. Oh one last thing we also watched Robbie Kenevil make the historic jump over the Cesar palace fountains that his dad failed to do live in person. Wish we would of been able to see a Tyson boxing match live he did almost have him in his cab once that would of been a money making night for sure lol
Spends 3 minutes reviewing dynamite, 1 minute reviewing collision and half an hour describing his birthday. Jim Cornette. Never change 😂❤
And the birthday discussion for me anyways was infinitely more entertaining than the former would have been.
Well, when you say "reviewing" Collision...
His birthday stories have more wrestling content than those shows anyway
Perfect
Lol. I'd rather hear the stories
Happy belated birthday Jim, congrats on reaching 500 episode of JCE. Hope Jim having a long healthy life and giving us the 1000 episodes of JCE
He better be healthy because he has to piss on Shitstains grave
Honestly, as much as I listen to these to help get through work. I really hope Jim retires from all this and just enjoys his dogwood n animal friends while he can.

He also shares the same birthday as Masa Chono
Jim's description of St. Martin is the most entertaining thing you'll experience today.
More entertaining than the week I spent there.😅
The spider shook his head and sells for a minute. Lolol
The St Maarten story is absolutely priceless.
The best part of this, The St. Maarten tale, starts at 42:50
"I HAD TO GO OVER THIS SAND DUNE, TAKE A RUSSO AND WHIPE MY ASS WITH MY TUBE SOCK"
"...and then we came back to Pittsburgh." so, all's well that ends well!
Makes me remember Jim Stafford's song "I don't like spiders and snakes..."
Best way to start a Saturday morning with a new cornette vid
It's 530 pm

I wish I had kept such detailed diaries. Must be absolutely wonderful to look back on.

Oh shit- I was supposed to pay the water bill!
You must not have the same affection for your dentist as Jim does for 80s wrestling

@@Cruising_On_Lake_HavasomaQuite the opposite. Properly organized and ventilated for preservation.
I LOVE historical ish, I’m so tired of hearing about the BS in AEW. Rather hear about Corrinth, MS than Tony Khan & his action figures.
"and that's when I wiped the booger on Bischoff's Corvette windshield" 😂😂😂

🕷44:34 starts the spider story …….
Omg 🤣🤣🤣
I'm from Eunice, La. and we got cable in like '79. I remember watching Georgia wrestling as a little kid when TBS was known as WTCG.
With him talking about the spider and the bug spray, Jim is sounding like that guy from Creepshow.
Yeah, I'm generally ok with most spiders, but I won't go near 4 unless they are in a tank. The Brazilian wandering spider, Sydney funnel web spider, black widow spider, brown recluse spider! Fuck those flamming bags of dogshit lol.
The spider no sold lol
44:38 is when this story switches from historical documentary to straight up comedy. Cornette sh!tting on St. Martin is him at his best
Love listening to this show. Always entertaining . Thank you for the memories .
I was wondering the whole time what the background imagine was about and it was well worth it when he got to the story🤣
Way more intetesting than what's televised weekly.
Just by the thumbnail, you would think Jim is talking about him and Halloween. 🎃🎂😂
Hopkinsville is close to Clarksville, TN. Lived there for a few years.
If Cornette Ever Had to Go Through an "Tax-Audit", He Has Enough "PaperWork" to Make TheAudit Last for Decades!😜
A 19 man pole Battle Royal, sounds like how Saraya would spend her birthday.
Thats cold funny as fk tho haha
Oh good lord 😭😭
That belt’s gonna be a bit sticky…
Dayum! Lol

1:22:07 I was there for this one, and I still have pictures of the "Black Ninja" taken from the front row.
7:45 ‘We were the managers, we were hitting him more from behind than he was hitting us from the front’

Louisiana has three N/S Primary Interstates: I49, I55, I59. There's five N/S Auxiliary Interstates.

AEW “wrestlers” take handicap matches literally.
