I don't think the people want this to end. Maybe it's just me but this is easily one of my favorite segments

[@flavaj13]

Since they pulled crowds during the pandemic I've pretty much get most of my wrestling through them, and these segments are definitely awesome. Their love and knowledge of wrestling is more entertaining to listen to than 90% of traditional media (TV, radio, movies...).

[@joncrack187]

Definitely better than aew and WWE reviews

[@NLaBar]

Agreed! Love hearing the match rundowns on the old shows. I wish Brian would go for more 70’s/early 80’s stuff. Lately it’s been too much 50’s & earlier, but pretty sure that’s mainly what Brian’s been collecting recently

[@deadrockmusic]

Absolutely this 1000% I’m so glad it is back

[@JGilbert11]

As much as I love to hear how much modern wrestling has dropped the ball every week, Guess The Program is still the best listen in podcasts

[@sama2903]

I love when Jim gets magnificently stumped and somehow has the explanation for the card, its year and the location...that he didn't know.

[@StaggerLee55]

That first card Brian had was so stacked but some of those guys were quite old. Thesz was 52/53 at the time! Lol

[@cpwhite44]

Guess the Program is an all time favorite segment. Entertaining and educational!

[@stevenbaksh5545]

These are the best I almost know nothing about wrestling before the 1990s but it's so interesting listening to these old stories

[@JJ_-if3ri]

I would love if this segment was in every episode

[@benwest1839]

The head-to-head format of this segment is awesome. This should be a regular thing.

[@Ted_Bell]

"Thirty years in the wrestling business...and it's Bozo Brazier." lol

[@SuperMac2007]

That slayed me, and Brian's laughter is so contagious as well that I'm in stitches.

[@tusharisgrate]

Man, I was in shambles😂😂

[@thejimm2009]

My favorite Corny Bozo story! I couldn't stop laughing!

[@justindumas5583]

When Jim quoted the Guns n roses song. 🤣🤣 Used to do a little but a little wasn't enough so a little got more and more. 🤣

[@Paultheguitarist]

This is by far my favorite segment on any wrestling podcast.

[@aFrostySkywalker]

alright cult we need you to like this so jim can react to cm punks comentary at a ufc event he did weeks ago he talks about the locker room fight in a joking way

[@valentine_puppy]

When Jim is not giving some of the best Pro Wrestling booking and schooling. Programs like this, segments. Is very popular with me. I really like these games and I sincerely hope there are more to come in the future.

[@jeffmock7650]

This is absolutely my favorite segment of either show

[@randomiser2267]

That little story about Bobo Brazil is one of the saddest and funniest stories I've ever heard 😂

[@ej55033233]

This was amazing. My favorite segment of the shows.

[@martinwalton9307]

This could be a stand alone 3rd show every week.

[@aegis8d737]

Since 2 years I'm an avid listener to the podcast and only watch wrestling matches when Jim explicitly recommended them or they were so ridiculous that they got quite a lot of buzz on Twitter. I have basically no idea what happened before the 2000s in the wrestling business but I still love to listen to the both of you because you manage to make almost everything sound interesting and entertaining.

[@Hypno_BPM]

i love how happy Brian was for getting 1958 at the end

[@maitreyas.4902]

Bozo Brassier popped me.

[@whl1815]

I love these segments.

[@ezrahicks5235]

I love hearing about these historic cards. Makes me want to watch some of these

[@sprthrwwychnnl73]

Thank god they’re doing more of these. I think they’re getting tired of talking about modern Wrestling, and quite frankly I’m getting tired of hearing about it

[@fuscinula]

That "Bozo Brasiere" anecdote is hilarious!

[@davidfrederick6003]

Ive written cornydriverthru email a few times. No avail to my questions. I thought one questions would apply to his classic program memories

[@hughmurphy151]

Best of 7 series that people will actually pay attention to...

[@rossgray9223]

I've been listening to the podcast pretty much since Brian came on board and these Guess the Program segments are hands down my favourite bits of content Jim & Brian have done. Would love an omnibus of the ones to date & for it to be a consistent feature going forward!

[@FlashFirePrime]

That Bobo Brazil story near the end was hilarious lmao. Such disrespect ;-;

[@TiredBonusDad]

Listen to a 37 minute clip for it to go to a disqualification? What the hell kind of Vince McMahon booking is this?

[@eamonwright7488]

It was a wild slapnut ref bump+guitar shot angle conclusion.

[@metallicbigtoe3949]

Most annoying thing about any quiz is that one prick who's always saying "that's too easy" 😂

[@BigNastyB16]

If guess the program was weekly or bi-weekly I'd be very happy

[@oceanshrugs9235]

You should throw in an Attitude Era one to throw him off lol

[@benwest1839]

This segment doesn't work outside context of the territories. You can guess the year, but that's not particularly interesting. And both Jim and Brian didn't particularly pay a lot of attention during that period.

[@Clubber-Slang]

@@benwest1839 what period?

[@bilklein]

I love this segment! You could do an entire "Guess The Program" podcast for 3 hours and I'd never miss an episode! Better this than reviewing crappy AEW programs.

[@b.christophergordon9562]

I love guess the program.

[@jimhelzer5589]

This is without a doubt one of my favorite segments that they do.

[@davidkelling159]

Jim making up a points system after they start so he's winning 🤣

[@tomr3422]

and one point for my name being jim.

[@LMLR187]

Just like Corny to get disqualified. Once a heel, always a heel.

[@cartman234]

Always fun listening to these segments!

[@traceywoodward1354]

These guess the program shows are alot of fun...brings back great memories

[@angryducklinginstitution76]

Jim: "Kah-mi-koff, not Camel Cough." Here, I'll add to that, Brian Last: "Su-REE-ahh (pronounced with extra stress/emphasis on the REE part", not "Siri-a [Syria])".

[@tre33911]

Jim and Bryan always make in ng the days more liveable

[@TyBeTroLLing]

Yep binge his videos while I'm at work

[@Pieslops_The_Cyclops]

Best running segment on the show

[@dquanissavage6287]

Awesome Shoot Today Jim!!😎🐐🐐

[@televiper11]

So The Grand Wizard actually worked matches as The Sheik’s manager? That’s new to me.

[@chrischar9428]

Face-palm

[@garyrenard2213]

He was the Grand Wizard in the WWWF houses and Abdullah Farouk when managing the Sheik in Detroit/Toronto. At the same time. The Apter magazines would show both in the same issues.

[@kevmiller2277]

Hobo Brazil lol 😂

[@acpw20online5]

Please do this more guys!

[@guillotine06]

A Dusty Finish on Guess the Program?! Who woulda thunk it?

[@daleva187goligo]

that was a really good one, the best yet

[@NLaBar]

8:36 Corny with the Mr brownstone GNR lyrics lol

[@lyylski]

Keep doing Guess the Program and Gordon Solie trivia. Two of my favorite segments. Honestly these days it's pretty much the only thing I listen to since I really only care about the history stuff.

[@mrwednesdaynight]

I don't know why but Camel Cough had me laughing my ass off.

[@johansmallberries9874]

I. Goddamn. Love this segment. No clue on 85% of the stuff they’re referencing, but it’s a lot of fun to hear them get there.

[@mox19380]

love the head to head. i'm stunned at the minor details they can use to narrow it down.

[@insupportofjunhado]

I haven't heard Cornette this competitive since he left TNA and returned to ROH.

[@DateTwoRelate]

The only thing this is lacking is "And here's your host, Wink Martindale!."

[@shanebagin]

I enjoy the history of wrestling.

[@NelsonRodriguez_]

nice a few minutes into it a quick Guns n Roses reference I used to do a little but a little could not do so a little got more and more Mr. Brownstone

[@eamonwright7488]

It’s that damn gift that keeps on giving Grover. It’s got Jim stuck on the Brownstown.

[@CharizardMaster69]

23:15 So I looked up Hogan Wharton and it gave me a football player of the same name who was relatively good and a small stub on the “Pro-Wrestling Fandom Wiki”, who’s birthdate and death date are the same. All it says in his entry is “Hogan Wharton is an American professional wrestler”

[@williamspitznagel1811]

I always love this part when they do it

[@tomr3422]

I believe the scoring needs to be updated to a point for location, territory and year... If its names that do not make sense anywhere - its TX. and a point if your name is Jim. 🎾

[@Clubber-Slang]

So, you actually mean promotion and not territory then? Because location is essentially the same and there's been SO many territory wars over the years.

[@davidfrederick6003]

WOW Danny Hodge vs Hiro Matsuda.

[@deadrockmusic]

GUESS - THE - PRO - GRAM! 👏 👏 👏👏👏

[@davestaircrazedlocalactor7949]

Wouldn’t collecting a bounty be accepting a bribe?

[@davidcook3116]

Schlitz Von Erich...😆

[@shawnbaker3245]

I know they reach for content sometimes. But this is the best so far!! This and making rosters.

[@chrischar9428]

Hobo Schiavone

[@ryanvannice7878]

Win by DQ?!?! LAZY BOOKING!!

[@Noobie2k7]

Thus is a great segment. Cornette gets to show off his wrestling knowledge without having to shit of anyone else to do it.

[@alexisdigital]

Édouard Carpentier 😳

[@FortunateJuice]

Diamond Lay lol. That was DDP's father.

[@AWX_Wrestling]

Corny gets caught red handed with a foreign object(book) and is disqualified.

[@wp5957]

Your show was more fun when you talked about 80's and 90's wrestling. I couldn't give a shit about the modern day promotions

[@Thegamingbrothertgb]

Hi Jim

[@thesustainingtwilightseven4457]

woohoo! contest time

[@rickyusa1000]

"30 years in the wrestling business.... and it's Bozo Brassiere".

[@clintjohnson5976]

Talk about a Dusty Finish.... Whew!

[@carloslozada470]

This is what Jim does best go back to the past

[@Roger-fs5yo]

Jack Murphy🤣

[@papanoel3999]

Oooohbbbb, guess the program again. Coolio.

[@tomservo4299]

corny quoting Mr. brownstone....excellent and unexpected

[@scottgordon9931]

I always listen to Corny.. most of the time it's in spite of the crappy re capping of new modern garbage.. THESE clips are what I come for! Give us all history all the time.. please do not even review AEW except MJF. That's alll

[@doubles7533]

They could just do these every week and I'd be super stoked about that

[@spanky9676]

Another winner

[@tammyforbes2101]

Well Jim sounds better. I know he said he’s been sick and so has everybody else to. I been vaccinated and still caught covid but i gotta say it’s not affected us near as bad as my family that didn’t get vaccinated. They ended up in the hospital with it but for us it’s just been like having a mild flu.

[@jabrockobiden9434]

BS

[@jabrockobiden9434]

I'd rather have sniffles over myocarditist, clots, cancer etc. Play in traffic sheep.

[@scrappy93]

Did Brian try to say Galveston is just outside Houston? Lol 51 miles boss that's not close.

[@LoPhatKao]

in Texas, thats right next door

[@scrappy93]

@@LoPhatKao don't matter the state boss man.

[@joncrack187]

No More aew and WWE reviews More Guess the program and old wrestling history 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@TomBurnetteMedia]

Lazy booking

[@michael_stout79]

Brian sounds like Excalibur

[@garyrenard2213]

I'd rather listen to you two play this than hear about how crappy most of the modern stuff is.

[@db-jk8dl]

12:15 Jim is starting to google it

[@LyingSecret]

I'm pretty sure he's writing it down so he doesn't have to hold the whole card in his head.

[@jasonjimerson7046]

Crap... I was gonna say Amarillo on the very last one, and I was right on the place and date on the very first one! I love Guess the Program!

[@NelsonRodriguez_]

The Vanguard Jim Cornette and Brain Brother's Brian Last and Brian Solomon VS The Elite Buckaroos and twinkle toes 2 out of 3 falls

[@1.21JJWatts]

DQ ShmeeQ. Nobody cares.

[@Weezy232]

Dq shmee q

[@atimetraveler4910]

Hahahahah

[@davey3884]

These suck when Brian guesses, there is nothing more annoying than an arrogant mark trying to show how "smart" he is, stick to letting the star of the show guess these.

[@oceanshrugs9235]

No they don't. Disagree

[@rockybalboa1847]

I'm sure that your opinion doesn't mean shit ... Brian Last had more wrestling knowledge in his little finger that you have.. if you don't like it when he guesses .. don't listen

[@sama2903]

Typo: "These are awesome when Brian guesses. There is nothing more great than a knowledgable cohost trying to convey every bit of passion for wrestling history."

[@maxxdahl6062]

Hard disagree.

[@tomr3422]

twinkle toes? is this your burner account?

[@freehat6180]

A DQ? Sounds like laaaaazy booking.
