Jim Cornette on Paul Ellering Competing In The Iditarod

[@Ahedratron]

For those that want to know, Paul Ellering competed in the race on three occasions (2000, 2005 and 2006), his best time was 12 days 3 hours finishing in 51st place out of 84.

[@tripvic7629]

Still good in my opinion 🫡

[@Ahedratron]

@@tripvic7629oh absolutely, if you compare his time to others, he would’ve won the race like 5 times.

[@haljordan777]

@@Ahedratron I assume you mean comparing his best time to winners from other years when he didn't compete. But does this work considering that the temperature and weather conditions may have been worse in those years when the winners had worse times than Ellering?

[@colonelrobertsjr.7882]

You have a manager who's established and knows how to deliver a message that his guys can deliver in a physical manner. Paul Ellering not talking is very dumbfounding to many of us. If anyone needs help with getting over it's this Final Testament faction.

[@tjr2109]

Brian announcing the dogs as if they are independent wrestlers is gold.

[@Stonehorn]

I competed in the Iditarod 4 times from 2000 to 2008! Probably the best time of my life! Finished twice in under 10 days, no finish on my third race! And no, the dogs don’t die. They are checked by a vet every day and are removed from competition if there is any issues.

[@Leviticus_Prime]

The Idelerod was first recreated in remembrance of the dog sled teams who relayed medicine to Nome, Alaska during a Blizzard to save people dying of Dipheria. One of the dogs involved, Balto became famous and had a movie based on a fictionalized version of him.

[@JoseFlores-xc7wu]

I love that movie

[@Leviticus_Prime]

@JoseFlores-xc7wu Good movie , but it kinda missed the mark. Dozens of sled teams relayed the medicine traveling through waist deep snow. The team Balto lead was actually the easiest part of the journey.

[@supremesummener8122]

I got to film the start of the iditatod in 2017 when the start was moved to fairbanks, we went up as part of a school trip. It was -30 degrees F -34 degrees C and it felt colder than that with wind chill. i didn't envy any if the mushers or the dogs as they left. I was freezing even though i had about 6 layers of different clothes as well as winter boots and a snow suit

[@Capydachi]

That sucks that you didn't get to experience the downtown Anchorage start. It's a real good time.

[@AustenHilton]

@@Capydachi yeah, it was super cool to go though. We got to interview some of the mushers before the start of the race. I felt like my fingers were gonna fall off about halfway through the day

[@NLaBar]

5:02 one of the lead dogs in the iditarod was named “Rex burkhead” in 1982. Fast forward 30 years later & there’s an NFL running back named Rex Burkhead. Appropriate, as NFL RBs are treated much like sled dogs.

[@chap0w794]

played for Nebraska, hell of a football player in college. How the hell did he end up getting the same name 😂 what are the odds

[@tgfabthunderbird1]

Also known as the I Killed a Dog. The race commemorates mushers' courier work to bring diptheria serum from Nenana to Nome, Alaska in 1925. They did it in nine days.

[@Leviticus_Prime]

12 to 13 dogs are on the team but only 7 to 15 dogs can be pulling the sled at the finish. 5 dogs have to be tied to the back of the sled running behind it when you cross the finish line.

[@blugill]

The movie Togo on Disney is the basis for the Iditarod. Willem Defoe and is a great movie!

[@tgfabthunderbird1]

Togo was lead dog of a team that covered 91 miles of the track. Leonhard Seppala was the driver, and was considered the best driver of all time.
