Jim Cornette Plays Guess The Program

[@wilcee238]

In 20 years if Corny is still with us, he’ll be able to guess the AEW program by Brian Last telling him the exact insults he used to describe them. “FOOTBALL FIELD FU---!”

[@Cruising_On_Lake_Havasoma]

"You started off with 'Fuck this whole fuckin' thing!'" "Um... Street Profits and Viking Raiders!"

This would be an amazing game. Play a short sound bite of a Cornette rant and have him guess what the subject was.

[@levram2]

The Fairview Gardens were at 11000 Mack at Mack and Fairview in Detroit Michigan. It changed to a roller rink in 1950. Probably lasted another 20 years as a roller rink.

[@roymauler]

Think about naming a wrestler "The Challenger". How would you announce him if he became champion? "The defending champion: The Challenger!".

[@Yellowrose71]

I love hearing these old wrestling names. The first one from Texas would have been right up my alley. Thank Brian and Jim. Love it!

I've actually gotten pretty good at this program game just from being an avid listener of Jim and Brian. I'm nowhere near Jim's level but pretty good for a non wrestling historian.

My favorite segment of the show. I get close on shows from late 60s on through but some of the earlier stuff I'm just guessing wildly. I applaud Jim Cornette's vast knowledge. And a nod to Brian Last for some really odd and rare cards.

[@seangoodwin3046]

You can see examples of the old tag matches where both members had to be pinned in the Russ Davis 1950s Chicago footage. Almost always the second partner would be pinning moments after the first. The Zaharias Brothers vs Rudy Kay and "Old Signboard" Sailor Al Williams. (One of my favorite teams from that era) was one example.) Rocky Valentine was an early name for Johnny.

It was Tom Drake that was an Alabama politician. He always tried to get his picture taken from one side because the other ear was cauliflowered all to hell. He got the Alabama Athletic Commission to leave wrestling the hell alone way back when. That lasted a good 40-45 years or so.

[@dustdevil9614]

I am a conservative classical liberal so Jim and Brian are way away in terms of politics from me but I can still find the awesome things they do like this to be extremely fun and educational and entertaining. Thank you Jim and Brian.

[@greghughes6098]

Agreed. I love the podcasts but his political screaming is the worst kind of narcissistic raging and hyperbolic idiocy.

[@K-dawg26]

@@greghughes6098 Agreed. Plus I'm sick of hearing about his atheist views as well as hearing him refer to god as an "invisible supreme fictitious being". Even though I rarely go to church anymore I'm not an atheist like he is so, it still pisses me off.

[@emperorburton]

Not political.. Brian literally got his panties in a wad because a Von Erich had a picture of him looking like he’s doing a Roman salute or “Sieg Heil” for short.

[@insupportofjunhado]

@@joegreene7619 He booked for the WWF. More than that, but do I need to bring up anything else when you're talking about why Cornette shouldn't have a job with WWE based on his supposed failures? But let's say he really sunk everything he booked for, this was hypothetical talent relations, which has nothing to do with booking, which Cornette has been undisputed successful for WWE in particular. Now I know Jim wouldn't want the job and WWE wouldn't give it to him, but your argument makes no sense.

[@insupportofjunhado]

@@joegreene7619 Talent relations isn't booking, so your opinion on his booking shouldn't even be relevant. But OVW did make money, more after Jim Cornette and less after Jim Cornette. Fine, it wasn't big money, but only 30% of that was from WWE. If that doesn't change your opinion on Cornette as a booker, fine. Dutch Mantel is a better booker than Cornette and WWE's had him for years not doing it. But OVW made WWE a lot more money than vise versa via talent. Not just talent developed after introduction to professional wrestling but talent polished like Mark Henry. Jim Cornette, Jim Ross, Dr. Tom, Danny Davis and Rip Rogers could all do well for talent relations, but WWE wants John Laurinaitis, who is famous for...? ...having Bill Demott film naked wrestlers stink facing each other for him? Hiring Gail Kim to have bra and panties matches with Dawn Marie on house shows? Threatening to fire Stevie Richards because their voices sounded similar? Firing Dawn Marie for gaining too much weight while pregnant? Calling up Mark Jindrak before anyone said he was ready? No selling the WWE Champion's finishing move? Losing WWE OVW in the first place, necessitating the revival of FCW with ACW resources? Ending WWE's deal with ACW after an employee from the latter company threatened to beat his ass(necessitating nXt)? Paying to fly in and feed the Briscoes only to terminate them for being too ugly? Hiring the wrong one legged professional wrestler when only two operated in the United States? Picking Kelly Kelly and Alicia Fox out of the swimsuit magazine? Allowing the former on the road and leaving her on it after she was filmed pissing in a kitchen sink while inebriated? Sure, Johnny Ace had a great memory for finishes, a great tag team career in All Japan, and no WWE would not give a talent relations job to Cornette. But a temporary position would be far from the worst decision they have made. With the exception of Matt Morgan, most of the talent Cornette likes are respected by wrestling fans, at least until they get gimmicks like The Spirit Squad or prove hopelessly criminal like Sytch. Most of the people he pulls for have drawn money.

[@IamMrLebanon]

Not sure why Jim cares so passionately about the hand being the only tagable part of a wrestler's body.. The NHL use to have 2 line passes but that rule was latter dropped. Sports leagues do that all the time, they modify some of their rules that doesn't mean the essence of the discipline is not the same. I like the knew can tag multiple part of your partner body because it allows booker to potentially write more interesting storylines.Like when a team isn't getting along and they slap each other. I guess I am not as much of a traditionalist as Mr. Cornette.
