I liked how right after Corny's demented rant, Dave just goes 'uh I like Lucha Underground'

I wonder how Konnan feels about Jim and his thoughts on Lucha Underground. I find it funny that Jim doesn't like Lucha Underground yet his podcast is hosted by the people that help produce that show.

He was just a big guy with no charisma and a really bad chokeslam. Public Enemy were terrible but they were legitimately sleazy weird philly guys who got over for that in front of other sleazy weird philly guys

One of them was like 40 years old and good at wrestling and the other was really bad, I don't remember which is which.

Jim Cornette wants to be the Lucha-hating southern heel in LU so bad.

Public Enemy is the bigger con because they lasted longer as an act purely based on the rep Paul built for them, and got contracts with big money companies based on said rep.

I can't imagine his podcasting job pays the bills, and I remember seeing he's got a relatively nice house. How much money was he making even when he was involved in wrestling or booking?

He's retired and seems to have a lot of money. I think he made good investments and saved it all. Building a nice house in the middle of nowhere in Tennessee probably didn't cost as much whenever he did it.

He also sells merchandise on his site, makes fanfest appearances, and works with kayfabe commentaries. I don't think he makes that much money off of that though. He's casually mentioned losing like $100k in the stock market crash in 2008 so probably mostly investments.

Also he was around for a looooong time in prominent roles when wrestling was very lucrative. That said, I don't know if he put his own money into Smokey Mountain Wrestling or not, I can imagine that might have made a severe impact on his finances if so.

Managed by Jim Mitchell, who threatened to have said mummy force whichever of the R n R express has a lazy eye to give that mummy a winkjob. That is exactly what it sounds like, I'm thinking.
