"I liked the business a lot more, when the marks were up front in the seats" - Dutch Mantell

[@earlostrohs3543]

Brilliant

[@Drebandzz143]

But when Vince Russo said the marks are in the ring y'all hated him smh

[@robinblake5054]

​@@Drebandzz143 That's because Russo is an idiot that don't know shit about wrestling.

[@swfcocs1]

Dutch is a fantastic interview, he never bigs himself up and he has a million stories as well as great insight on booking etc-total legend !!

[@RandyRowe-qw8bu]

😂🎉😮 21:08

[@lloydcarter5216]

I could listen to Dutch tell wrestling stories all damn day...he is a legend with a great mind and biting wit.

[@johnboydojo]

That story about the kid watching you on TV was absolutely hilarious!! I was crying with laughter. Fantastic!!

[@damambinator7740]

JIM CORNETTE, YOU...FUCKER!

[@kevinkelly1529]

Brian Last did a great job during the Dutch Mantell interview! It's always a pleasure when Last shuts the hell up.

[@tracydavis3149]

Thank you Jim and Dutch Mantel for a great show today.

Cornette is the best thing about professional wrestling... He's entertaining, brutally honest, and hilarious.

[@EmoEmu]

I can understand Brian just sitting there silently. Listening to these two legends talk is gold - why interrupt that?

[@nextlevel6663]

I'm hooked on this podcast.

[@simonrhoden4457]

Gotta say no better way to spend a hot lazy evening than listening to Jimmy Dutch telling they stories

[@tyrannostoragerex3637]

I'm gonna need "You shouldn't laugh at anybody's death, except certain people" on a T-shirt.

[@karlvanslyke946]

Love the Bobby Jaggers stories my dad went to high school with him in fact he lived down the street from my grandparents lived in Vancouver WA. My grandmother told me he used to come over and tell them some real tall tales. When he worked in Portland Oregon I got to meet him he was a good guy. Wish he was still here

[@swampdweller]

Love spending my mornings listening to Jim and Brian. Great episode as always!

[@michaelmearney5721]

Ghosts are as real as good old pro wrestling.

[@mayfieldgage]

Jim spends his morning watching Richard Simmons

[@vegitausa]

Fun fact, Lawler and Mantel were both born on 11/29/1949

[@butcherboy2008]

Although he is far too modest to talk about it, he is very active in charity. He works with Locks Of Love and every year that he is sheared, his body hair provides wigs for 13 chemo patients.

I live in Edmonton which is 3 hours north of Calgary. ITS A COLD PLACE.

Thanks friend I was looking for this comment- I love Jim but my god I don't need to hear about his fucking plumbing lmfao

[@rhinocharges1556]

been binging on Experience/drive thru episodes for 3 days now, my wife of 15 years left me, she caught me shitting in a Home Depot bucket that I keep under my desk and she told me it's much more than simply that repulsive act, but I don't know, anyway,cornette is one of the best podcasts out there, love listening to someone who was on the inside of the WWF

I'll bet Nash told him about that term Unsafe work environment.

Take your pick of any of the Kliq members 👿

[@rickyhunt4075]

Never thought Shawn was very smart I always thought Trips told him about the term though could be nash not sure about Hall

[@rickyhunt4075]

@The Cortege Didn't know he worked for Nato but He always came across as a smart guy from his shoot interviews definitely smarter than Shawn and Hall

[@keithpalmer1998]

Dutch and Jim are a joy,laugh riot to listen to. More conversations please !

[@robinblake5054]

It warms the cockles of my heart every time I hear Corny trashing the Dynamic Dudes.

[@jonathanlindsey790]

The guy writing about watching Corny with his kid is priceless. Cornette drives me absolutely nuts sometimes, but this is why I love the guy.

[@AttorneyPaulBKennedy]

Growing up in Houston, I saw Gorgeous Gino Hernandez plenty of times at the Sam Houston Coliseum on Friday nights and on Houston Wrestling.

[@rhinocharges1556]

this might be the best episode of the experience

[@mrbananacream]

Jim youve been great entertainment for a lot of years for me. I grew up in Kentucky. So in a way you are wrestling to me.

[@jasonjimerson7046]

Dutch is so right... He and Lawler were some of the best punchers in the business ever.

[@robinblake5054]

Good looking punches are a lost art in pro wrestling. You got these guys now that are too busy trying to make their flippy shit look good that they neglect learning the basics such as punches.

I love it when Brian does his Hannibal impersonation

[@richardremick1639]

Love this and Dutch and Jim are right on m 51 and back in the 70’s and 80’s you’d get so emotionally involved with the wrestling and wrestlers you’d wanna die or do something drastic for these guys it was really different

[@kjdenton6248]

Love some Dirty Dutch!

[@mymneisadj]

my home town is Harlan KY and I went to high school at James A Cawood (the gym they mentioned)…. don't know why I wanted to share that with the internet expect it does my heart good when they talk about how crazy this place is

[@robertridley9279]

Was Cawood Ledford, the old UK announcer, named after that Cawood? And was colonel Sanders named after the town? I think his name was Harlan.

[@mymneisadj]

Cawood Ledford was from this area but I don't think it was named for him Cawood was his first name whoever the school was named for Cawood was his last name there is also a community in the county named Cawood

[@robertridley9279]

@@mymneisadj I was thinking that Cawood Ledford might have been named after James Cawood, since that's not a common first name.

[@redrock717]

Good ol bloody Harlan lol. I really enjoyed that show they did on the Harlan county sheriff’s department before Marvin got in that hot water

[@tg995nation6]

Great show

I love listening to Jim at work on the stereo load!!!! Slowly converting cooworkers into cult members

Haha "Puerto Rican" time is exactly what my brother says which is true cuz my family is usually late.

[@MrPariah1969]

Have lived in Calgary for decades, and yeah Jim ,Winter here can be brutal or Mild as fuck too. We have these natural weather patterns, or systems, called Chinooks that roll in from the Pacific. Basically it's a warm air front that comes inland over the Rockies, can last hours or days or even a week or two. Don't always get them but are usually welcomed when they do arrive. As for the travel, yes you can drive for hours up here and not see anything but Prairie and piss hole in the snow towns, pending on direction of travel.

[@bubbahuskey113]

Corny you need to get to Bubba Fest in Knoxville. I think I get to be a keynote speaker lol

[@geekseyes]

bad shoot interview police 🤣

[@tomr3422]

Damn I could have got a pound of Dutch Mantel body hair . . . .

[@tjcadotte37]

Man I wasn't expecting them to talk about my hometown the 414!!!! Dutch and Jim ain't wrong about the cold either my best friend moved here from Florida in 2011 and he still hasn't adjusted to the cold lol

[@desmondcastro3679]

Speaking OF RIOTS ! I remember seeing Jimbo here get grabbed by the cops so suddenly 1 night at a house show back in my hometown of Saginaw,MI. Apparently Jim accidentally had struck a Saginaw Police officer with his tennis racket. I didn't see it happen but I remember just seeing 1 of the cops grab Cornette by the neck and Jim is like- "What the fuck !!?!!"- A fellow fan told me what happened and another cop, who was outside of the dressing room, still had the tennis racket. This could be a good discussion, Jimbo.😄 I hope they have a wrestling Fanfest here in Las Vegas soon. God bless folks !

[@jtharris208]

Jim Cornette is a historian

[@lucyfuir6386]

At the beginning I thought Jim was going to announce an AEW deal

[@rickyhunt4075]

Hell at this point wouldn't be surprised shocked by the TNT signing

[@grimjack148]

He can manage the Human Tornado and the Osirian Portal.

[@Gravydog316]

18:00 Jim Ross said he created the Dynamic Dudes, just for the record. write it down, everyone

[@CeeMigoLoCo]

That's crazy lol, i live in Wichita Kansas but i don't remember the last time it was that cold here. Usually our winters get down to 20 or 30 degrees most days, but it's rare if it's colder than that during the winter here. The wind is what makes it feel worse cause we don't have any mountains or big buildings to stop the 90mph winds here 😂 jk. Maybe 60mph at most unless there's a TORNADER or something lol. Our summers are hot as hell too tho.. Kansas sucks lol. Now days our weather is back and forth each week. Last week it was around 60 degrees, this week its 39 with rain lol. Two or three weeks ago it snowed for a day or two, and a few weeks before that it was like 70 degrees.. 😂 WTF!!!

[@woodsperson8078]

If there is one asshole I actually like its Jim. I mean that with respect Jim and in a way I'm sure you'll appreciate.

Is Jim a heavy smoker? He's always clearing his throat or coughing or whatever that is.

[@guybroyles48]

If there's a shoot interview in which you don't feel the interviewer did a good job, just don't watch it. Why do you feel the need to "call them out" simply because you didn't care for the content, AND call them mother fuckers?! I'd like to understand that way of thinking.
