Story Time with Dutch Mantell - Episode 11 | Creating the Abyss Gimmick, George Gulas Stories

[@christophermilner1808]

Ghost Town in Maggie Valley NC, where you ride the chairlift to the top of the mountain. It closed years ago and people have tried to get it going again but have no luck with it. I don't believe it will ever open again even with a different theme. The property isn't safe after landslides.

[@littlehorn8503]

Everytime I see Abyss wrestle I get Leatherface vibes. The way he moved in the ring, his walk, the way he sold moves just looks like Leatherface

[@IFdude]

Exactly who he reminds me of. Hollywood execs should hire Abyss to portray Leatherface. He'd be perfect.

[@JimCornetteIsMyDad]

I'd pay good money to go see Dutch, Jim Cornette and whomever else talk backstage stories. I can listen to them all day.

[@JarodJoseph]

But, you literally get it for free every week..

[@JRWeez]

Jim would just cry and complain about how he wants to be trumps cum. dumpster and trump doesnt even know who he is lmao

Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath lost tips of his fingers in accident when he worked in a factory but used melted plastic bottles shaped as finger and finger nails to play guitar.

[@DavidJohns-e5b]

Liar

[@snakeeyes51]

@@DavidJohns-e5b there are photos online, he mentioned it in interviews and his book multiple times. Your name is "use" so shut up and sit down little NPC

[@robvandam7533]

I absolutely love this guy!

Randy Poffo was a catcher who got run over at home plate sometime in 1971-72. He became a lefty-throwing OF. There's no such thing as a left-handed SS, at least since the 19th Century. Still a remarkable achievement to convert from being a righty to a lefty.

[@russblack443]

Or Lefty catchers which is why Randy went to the outfield.

[@timrichards6761]

Talking about worst in the ring being the son of a promoter, as in least coordinated athlete in the ring.... Vincent Kennedy McMahon. 😂 VKM has a great physique & great mind & talent on the mic, but he was pretty clumsy in his actual wrestling. I'm surprised he wasn't mentioned with Greg Gagne & George Gulas. 👍✌️❤️

[@mattamick1163]

Dutch played Maybellel Carter's "wildwood flower"?!?!? Damn! I knew I loved ol dutch

[@BigLee1901]

Yep, I driven Jamie Dundee to the Louisville area once, he talked, told stories, he even sang a song about me going to a wrestling show in the Devil Went To Georgia lyrics

[@creepjoeshorrorpeepshow4231]

I’d almost beat the Desperadoes vignettes were filmed at Tweetsie Railroad. It’s an old west themed amusement park that’s been there since the 50s and is still going strong. It’s between Boone and Blowing Rock. There’s also Ghost Town In The Sky in Maggie Valley NC that’s changed owners a dozen or so times in the past 20 years and is closed now.

[@paintingjanet1429]

Really good show James.

[@jeffaltman9657]

Actually if you get your finger cut off as a guitar player it's not completely over yet there has been a few cases where people have learned how to play without it I think the most famous case I can think of was monkey the guitar player for korn he lost his finger in a motorcycle accident and he rehabilitated his hand to learn how to play with that missing finger

[@dennishenderson4113]

Love you man

[@dennishenderson4113]

I hope you and Jim are still friends because you two are my favorite wrestling personalitys

Randy and Dutch Mphs TN 1982 Classic

[@billythekid22220]

And the crazy thing is that randy still got drafted after throwing his arm out

[@MatthewSmith-nt7rj]

How many wrestlers has Dutch helped out, Stone Cold got Steve Austin from Dutch and watched every match on the shows because Dutch told him that's how he'll learn the business. I know it was his job, but I think Dutch has helped a lot of wrestlers throughout the years

[@walterhager8626]

Love listening to y'all together cause it's a actual conversation as to a shoot interview. Chris Justice aka Abyss wrestled for my uncle Danny Fargo alot In MWA in Georgetown kentucky in mid late 90s after he bought it off of Dale tnt Mann. Wildcat Chris Harris also wrestled there. So I love I got to watch them as their careers were blooming. Funny u mention Dundee cause Bill would come down here sometimes . I seen him when they did shows informally fields here to raise money for little league football. My fav he had come in was Jimmy Valiant he was awesome and nice as could be. I always thought it was funny that uswa 2 biggest stars kids wrestled under neath their fathers.

[@c.skyrie3434]

Ouch. thats a rough scratch on the arm

[@rjskum688]

The love child of Mankind and Kane?

[@RandyStone-q1p]

Mississippi Corinth high School he throws you out right on my feet

[@jamesbrown-gx7ip]

Why was the poffos banned from the nwa? Because of the mobile incident?

[@K-dawg26]

I think big boss man used the black hole slam first.

[@shealaughy2475]

Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath was missing two finger tips. He claimed it made him a better guitarist.

[@matthewrock4725]

HE NEED NEVER DREW A DIME BAHAHAHAH

[@JRWeez]

Pull out method is for losers i like to slam it in there as deep as i can get while im finishing lmao

[@OceanbornAngel]

George Gulas needs to become a legend for all the wrong reasons because of how awful a wrestler he was as well as only being one because of his father. His "wrestling" career needs to be memed.

[@russblack443]

George is also the reason Memphis split away from Nick Gulas. Nick tried telling Jerry Jarrett he had to book George on his end after he had already killed business in the Nashville end, Jerry said no your son is t going to kill my business like he did yours

[@OceanbornAngel]

@@russblack443 Yes...but Nick Gulas is such a parody. I think you're not getting the humor in my statement. He's a living Meme that should be made a legend of the Lol variety.

[@russblack443]

@@OceanbornAngel I agree 👍,I'm saying that George is was so terrible that Nick lost his most profitable towns just for having the idea of using him there's

[@DirtyMac5151]

Give them a name like G to tge fourth or something? Fourth of what? Idk, who gives a rip. It won't matter when they see how terrible that tag team would be!

[@maroonattic]

Who is the british guy?

[@jimreily7538]

I don't know, his name isn't mentioned in the video's description or elsewhere in the notes. Just a host who lives in England somewhere, and, who doesn't really want his name splashed around perhaps.

[@russblack443]

His name is James Romero, he wrote a couple books on wrestlers and started a shoot interview channel Called WSI and had a podcast with don muraco

[@matthewgrose7815]

Jerry Garcia, one of the greatest guitar players ever, was missing a finger. Sorry Dutch but your wrong on that statement. Love the show

[@Gary-su8sb]

Damn what happened to your arm James?

[@rajmangroo8273]

Play Freebird

[@RandyStone-q1p]

Yes my name Randy to beside me so who is wrestling look at the card it was on the door to see who it was you

[@allenm.355]

David Flair should never be in ring
