Dutch & Cornette > all Conrad’s podcasts

[@ogdannyg1]

Period

[@lostworldofjj]

cant disagree with this one! i never was able to get into conrads podcasts

[@redfruit1968]

Dutch is easily better than Cornette too, by a long shot.

[@olcountry8432]

Cornette is king. I love Guess the program

[@nriab23]

Conrad talks about himself far too much. He constantly interrupts wrestlers' thoughts to give his own opinions or memories and he talks about meltzer every other 5 minutes as if he were a wrestling God. Not to mention he constantly promotes blue pills. Kinda shows you the only type of sponsorship he gets.

Good seeing ole Dutch talk to his English grandson every week! 😅

[@ChristopherShawnHughes]

Dutch is awesome. I love this channel. I have a question, and will definitely email him in the very near future.

[@Rico-je4yy]

Good stuff. There are always two sides to every story and Dutch has his. Respect.

[@zachsparkman5252]

Wow never expected to hear my town on the podcast. I have listened since before the channel was made. Also Dutch pronounced Lebanon Tennessee right.

[@JayStar-yj9pu]

Jeez u must've scorched your shorts over 'Death Proof' eh? Any copies of Italian Vogue to be found these days? 🤣

Fun fact: Jim Johnston DID write Swaggers theme! I know this because I went and listened to it as soon as it was mentioned because I love it lol.

[@georgecarl1955]

Look forward to Tuesdays for this!

[@475hkn]

Not a question but back in the 80’s, Dutch would wrestle in Columbus, MS on Saturday night, then in Memphis on Monday night. He obviously was driving to Memphis on a Monday and pulled in to a convenient store in New Albany, Ms. He was a heel in Memphis, Jeff Jarrett was just coming in & they had a big match scheduled that very night. I asked him about Jeff, he snapped into character and told me he was going to beat that little sissy to death. He said we needed to come up to Memphis and see what him & Shoe Baby was going to do!!!!! The best heel ever. One of my all time favorites 😊

[@flyersluver4eva]

Love this podcast more and more every week ! You guys are fkn awesome

[@danielwade434]

I remember Frankie Lane working for Nick Gulas in the late 1970's

[@denniscook512]

I remember him there also always thought he was pretty decent. I believe he was the first I saw do the bulldog

[@SouthernRebel-j1n]

back in the 80's bill dundee walked in on dutch going down on moon dog spot (aka larry latham) there is a instamatic pic to back it up. thats when the belt was taken

[@thefiggamehunt6946]

Andre was 5'11 with 17" lifts

[@jimmytoddthrash7513]

They billed HBK at 6' 1", 235 lbs, but HBK said recently that he was 5' 9" , 195.

[@nbaldwin45]

As far back as Foley's first book, when kayfabe was more alive and well than it is now, Mick said that HBK was 200 or 205. He said in his next book that Big Show was 450 when he was billed at 500 and I think he said Viscera was the same weight.

[@tedmayer1597]

I worked the indies for a few year's and I did the shoulder slap with punches and I still think it looks the most believable

Arn Anderson said he did little blading as he wanted to be able to go into a nice restaurant with his family and not stand out.

Always enjoy this series

[@Magus1213]

Looks like Superstar Bill Dundee had a 3rd-gen Mercury Grand Marquis (98-02). Stock wheels, though.

[@jimmyfitz8907]

I was thinking a crown Victoria or Lincoln town car but you may be right

[@TWOnly666]

I'll blame Vince for Owens death until i die

[@LuchadorMasque]

aye! talking about dayton. representing the gem city. i see you. everbody forgets we exist.

[@AnthonyFord-zc9fl]

Does Dutch have any good road stories about Cookeville Tennessee

[@nbaldwin45]

I remember Dynamite Kid was one of the first to mention that Andre could be really mean when he wanted to. His apologists tend to put that down to the booze and his being in constant pain, whereas the likes of Bruce Prichard and Shane McMahon just laugh at it. Andre is a sacred cow where the WWE old guard are concerned, he's beyond criticism. In fairness, when he was rough with people, there was usually a reason for it and he usually gave the other party a chance to wise up and they chose not to e.g. John Studd stepping over the top rope, Randy Savage smothering himself in baby oil before wrestling, Warrior stiffing him with clotheslines and Bigelow just generally acting like a primadonna backstage. Andre always genuinely sounded like a reasonable, amiable guy in his youth.

[@jimdejulio2709]

That car is either Ford Crown Victoria or a Mercury Grand Marquis.

[@peterslabinger6221]

Erik Watts made his debut in the UWF in the late 1980’s. The Freebirds were the big heel at the time and Terry was the UWF champion at the time. There was a story were the freebirds beat up Erick to draw is father Bill into the ring

[@PaTrickRTreat]

Lebanon is just outside of Nashville

[@nbaldwin45]

Andre - 7'0" Big Show - 7'0" Undertaker - 6'7" (at the height of the WCW/WWE war, WCW stated Taker was 6'7" - I don't see any reason why they'd inflate the height of one of their rival's top wrestlers) Kane - 6'6" For reference, Sid has admitted himself that he's a legit 6'6'' People always say Kane was taller than Taker but he wore lifts and Taker didn't

[@JackBarrett7]

I dont think Andre was over 7". Windham said his height was 6'11" and thats what he was measured on Montreal TV by a doctor at..but he was 19 and continued to grow. He def. wasnt 7'4". Theres a picture of him and Studd, who was legit 6'9" and in it, Andre is standin on the balls of his feet to appear taller. Big Show is 7". I think Kane is 6'9" and Taker 6'8"..going by their basketball records. Oddly, Kamala was 6'4" and billed at up to 6'9" and One Man Gang was 6'5 and was billed at 6'9" in Tx.

[@marcelmoreau2733]

Taker billed 6ft 10.5, Kane at even 7ft, Show at 7 but sometimes 7ft 1, Nash at 7, Sid at 7 Matt Morgan at u. Khali at 7ft 7. Hogan at 6ft 8.

[@tomnagy3010]

Sid was never billed at 7 feet. Khali was always said to be 7' 3" WCW billed Show at 7'4 and WWF billed him at 7'2

[@marcelmoreau2733]

@@tomnagy3010 Sid was often refered to as a 7footer, Show's billed height was depending on time, usually 7ft 1 but could be as low as 6 7ft even or 7ft 2. Khali often mention as over 7.5ft tall which is 7ft 6 or taller.

[@nbaldwin45]

@@marcelmoreau2733 Sid was billed at 6'8" in WWE and 6'9" in WCW

[@rudyrusso711]

Yep! Excellent dude 👊🏼

[@ericmelton5003]

The host is most likely correct. They were still running the Nashville area on Saturday nights most of the time even close to the end in 1997. When the flea market was held on the fourth Saturday they would run surrounding communities like Lebanon, Gallatin Springfield etc. At that time however Burt Prentice had begun his indie promotion Music City Wrestling and ran on Wednesday nights at the Nashville National Guard Armory and was using USWA guys like Tracy Smothers, Sir Mo, Tommy Rich, Doug Gilbert, Rock and Roll Expres, Buddy Landell, Terry Golden and Faaron Foxx among some new enhancement talent such as Cody Montana, Scufflin Hillbilly, Justin St John , Shane Eden and local talents like The Wild Boys. While Burts promotion only was drawing 400 to 500 it packed the building and the USWA was drawing 200 or less when years prior was drawing 2000 in Nashville and that was one of their lowest drawing cities in the big days of the territory where Memphis, Louisville and Lexington were their bread and butter cities.

professional football was born in dayton ala the dayton triangles. they played in triangle park. still there

[@MasterWitchDoctor]

being in the ring with Abdulah the Butcher werent you afraid of contracting Hep C? He gave it to many wrestlers including Dusty Rhodes that lead to his liver failure ending in his death in 2015.

[@tychosis]

I was a big Jericho mark way back in the day and went to the very first Fozzy show in Marietta, GA. Got a picture with him, he only had maybe a couple of inches on me and I'm a short dude at 5'6". Jacked, though. He tried stage diving and I was having none of that shit and just ducked and scattered and let everyone else handle the catch.

I'd love to know who that one person was who asked about Andre being a bully, they must be really young and be easily offended for other people when they hear or read stuff, I've never heard anything other than nice things about him, which is surprising for a Frenchman lol

[@user-vj9qz3br6l]

He called the shots because he put butts in seats. Like many folks, the power went to his head. He was an alcoholic and like many alcoholics he had temper issues. There’s several stories of him giving wrestlers a hard time. People couldn’t really stand up to him or else he would have them fired is what I’ve heard.

Andre was 6'10" they had to stand him on a box when Vince would interview him because Vince is 6'5" legit and he made Andre look a lil big not massive

[@djangofett4879]

I do agree that Andre was probably never taller than 6'10" even at his peak but Vince definitely is not 6'5". He is barely taller than shawn michaels.
