Jim Cornette Talks About Chris Colt With Dark Side Of The Ring's Producer

[@Billinois78]

I instantly recognized the artwork, parodying Alice Cooper's "Welcome to My Nightmare" album cover. Very cool. Alice appeared at Wrestlemania III in Jake "The Snake" Roberts' corner.

This episode was fascinating. I had heard Chris Colt's name before but really didn't know anything about him. Definitely top 5 Darkside of the Ring episodes. What a fucking life story.

[@wilcee238]

For everyone complaining about DSOTR getting stale, wait until they start covering AEW, Tony Khanye and Vince Meekman.

[@gothard5]

the show will never last that long. I wouldn’t be surprised if season 5 is the last season.

[@ShyP3rson]

Tony Khanye is 😂

[@JagerLange]

@@gothard5 Sad but possible. They should have kept some of the "bigger" stories back to seed later seasons. I do understand how they had to start with a bang though, but once they got established they could have put some of the "less interesting" (not my words) episodes in sooner among a few others that had more buzz. Now, though, it feels like people think the best is over and won't give the obscure stories a chance.

[@MatthewSmith-nc3vg]

I wonder if they'd replace Jericho before they cover AEW stuff, they seemed to not mention Dustin Rhodes that much for the Plane Ride From Hell, even though he was mentioned in the lawsuit

Just watched the episode and that movie producer was creepy as all get out. He couldn't maintain eye contact with anyone and blinked like a liar at a poker table betting the bank with a 4 card flush.

[@Lady.Luthien]

Why Dark Side of the Ring has not done an episode on Chyna is both mind-boggling yet blatantly obvious.

[@mattharper1242]

What can they say that her documentary hasn't?

@@mattharper1242 True, but having a bio about the Montreal Screwjob didn't stop them from making one, too.

@@johnjones8888 the only female IC Champ isn't original or rare? 🤔 Besides, the show is called Dark Side of the Ring. It's about tragic stories, not whether someone had originality. The final years of her life were pretty damn tragic, I think.

[@MatthewSmith-nc3vg]

I'm excited to hear from Ed Moondog Moretti, I grew up watching him. He's also the grandfather of Nick Wayne and I always get annoyed AEW never mentions him.

[@marqryan5218]

Absolutely can't wait for this story. It feels like something so underground, to the point you shouldn’t be watching.

[@thomasswafford250]

I saw him turn face for Gulas in Chattanooga. He tried a off the top elbow drop on Dennis Condrey, but Condrey rolled away. He did one of those old style elbow drops where he fell back with it where he had to look over his shoulder to line it up.

[@JimmyHeartburn]

He does a couple of em in this early 80’s match from Vancouver. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZjSo2uubbKWfcksi=B4nYbNe94eUXBIEr

[@TheLokiBiz]

Super jealous. I've always found the guy fascinating and wanted to know more. After his Dark Side episode, i honestly consider him a bit of a trail blazer and a hero (being bi myself, i gotta respect the balls it took to live the live he did, at the time he lived it)

[@RyanS881]

Wow! What an episode

[@kineticwrestling7520]

Chris Colt sounds like a cross between Adrian Street and Darby Allin.

[@TheLokiBiz]

Naw, he was way cooler than Darby - more like Adrian Street and fucking GG Allin haha. It was honestly a really good episode.

[@mikejanacone8328]

Jim were definitely right about Chris Colt the best wrestler. No one’s ever heard of. I consider myself a decent wrestling fan that’s in his late 30s I never heard of Chris Colt until the dark side of the ring episode of him

[@King4sshole89]

This is one of the episodes I've been waiting on since season one. Chris Colt is such a an anomaly that this is going to be a ln extremely interesting watch.

[@anthonymackey222]

I never thought anything that could possibly top New Jack's DSOTR.

[@patrickloomis1189]

One of the more anticipated episodes & vice shit the bed on audio. Every version I have tried watching has insane static feedback drowning out the audio.

Dsotr should do.an episode on buck zumhofe

[@CGMedia2023]

I'm shocked that it's taken this long for someone to even suggest it.

[@TheLokiBiz]

Chris Colt was honestly probably my favourite episode of DSOTR so far. Being a bi dude myself, it was really cool seeing someone be openly gay in the 60s and 70s and just not give one shit what anybody thought of him. He defied pretty much every stereotype of gay men imaginable - it must have taken serious balls to live the life he lived, when he lived it. Also that bit where the porn director was talking about how much gay men of the 80s loved Hogan was bloody hilarious!

[@quincee3376]

I just watched the episode. It's very good. I never heard of him before. But it's an interesting episode.

[@stevedavis2473]

He sounded like a fascinating guy.

[@WyattHolliday]

I actually bought some wrestling memorabilia from this guy’s estate a few years ago without even knowing who he was. He had a great collection of odds and ends.

[@TheLokiBiz]

Super jealous. I've always found the guy fascinating and wanted to know more, and this episode of Dark Side didnt disappoint. After watching it, I honestly consider Colt a true trail blazer and a bit of a hero of mine (being bi myself, i gotta respect the massive balls it took to live the life he did as an openly gay guy in the world of wrestling in the 60s and 70s. Dude was badass.)

[@WyattHolliday]

@@TheLokiBiz Luckily for me, he was definitely a fan of classic ladies like June Byers and Cora Combs, and I managed to get signed photos of each of those, but the more I learn about Chris, the cooler he seems like he was. I wish there were more footage out there.

[@claytonjones8358]

Sandman's acid story is better.."Here, Lizard, lizard,lizard"

[@nicholasmantia9052]

I never heard of chris colt but im watching his episode of Dark Side right now & i gotta say, its a very interesting story....... Plus he reminds me a little like Kevin Sullivan.

[@TheLokiBiz]

One thing I DO have to point out though... If Chris Colt existed in the modern day, Cornette probably would hate him.... I mean, look at the way Corny talks about Nick Gage for example. Cornette is always talking about how he wants "characters" and "real crazy people" in the business again, like Chris Colt or Buzz Sawyer - But the thing is, that looks a lot like a "bank addicted drug robber" lol. I love Chris Colt and consider him a trail blazer and a bit of a hero of mine (being bi myself, just the way he was openly gay in wrestling the the 60s/70s and didnt give a shit - i gotta look up to that) - but if he were around today, Cornette would lump him in with people like Nick Gage or Ian Rotten.

[@JimmyHeartburn]

I think Jim was a fan of his because Colt stood out as a character, especially back then. He was actually a pretty good wrestler and wasn’t using pizza cutters and glass in his matches as far as I know.

[@TheLokiBiz]

Fair enough, I more so just meant that in his later years (the porn vid years), Colt looked like a toothless addict not unlike Gage (no offense to Colt - like i said, I honestly think he was awesome). And Corny doesnt just seem to hate Gage for the garbage wrestling, he also seems to hate him for "not looking like an athlete" or whatever. @@JimmyHeartburn

[@insupportofjunhado]

I get the performance enhancers, I get the uppers, I get the downers, I get the pain killers, but I don't understand why hallucinogenic drugs are attractive to professional wrestlers. Your job is to both protect yourself and hurt the other guy as little as possible, and you want to dull your connection to reality?

[@nunyabidness4220]

He should've been paired up with Adrian Street sometime. That'd be unbridled brilliant weirdness.

[@denniscook512]

Seems like I vaguely remember him in Memphis

[@sugartbube]

I don't get it and I'm surprised how Jim put him over. I do wonder however if Kevin Sullivan borrowed from.Colt

Chris Colt was the Syd Barrett (Pink Floyd) of professional wrestling.

[@Brando-Lee3725]

Speaking on The Freebirds coming out to music as one of the first , didn't Colt come out to Alice Cooper in the 70s ? Or am I tripping too like he was lol !

[@ChristopherBish]

That he did. Welcome To My Nightmare was actually the song he used when I was a kid watching him in Vancouver.

[@dragonordie]

Just got done watching the episode and Chris Colt is absolutely the wrestling equivalent of Gg Allin

[@TheRealDannAlexander]

Another great episode with great commentary from Corny. One correction. Comparing anyone bad to Mother Theresa is not a comparison. She allowed so much suffering to happen because it was somehow bringing people closer to “God”. Those people needed medicine, not to lie in agony. I know… small thing but still not something people realize.

no offense, but dark side of the ring is so overrated. all the episodes feel like book reports stretched to fit the word requirement.

yall dony understand the point of the show if you're complaining about "slower episodes" ... theres been hundreds of thousands of wrestling stories and they all deserve their hour ... if you dont like it dont watch ...
