Smokey Mountain was broadcast at least locally, wasn't it? Let us remember the saga of Cowabunga the legally distinct anthropomorphized wrestling turtle that is also a ninja.


I remember it played on one of the non-network affiliated UHF channels in Cincinnati when I was a kid. Happy days when it folded and was replaced by ECW.

Cornette is professional wrestling's Rush Limbaugh

He's a pill popping pedophile too?

I just hope Dark Side of the Ring stops using him as a talking head.

Isn’t Charlie Haas a notoriously unpleasant person to work with on top of the racism?

I vaguely remember that being the case when he was in ROH.

I might have to check that out at some point. I get the impression Jeff Jarrett doesn't like, horrifically suck as a person or anything, he's just the ultimate carnie. Which, you know! Produces a lot of interesting stories. I had no idea he had a podcast.

Tell that to Daffney

Someone stopped by me at traffic lights and I could see on their media display they were listening to Cornette. The only wrestling podcast I've seen anyone listen to in public so that's a win.

He can't be that popular but I wonder about people tuning in to hear about how poo poo Kenny Omega is every week. If I listen to a podcast about how WWE is poo poo, at least I was once very invested in that product so I have a connection to it. How much do people listen to Cornette talk about people they themselves never watch?

Honestly the only podcast that wasn't Joe Rogan I've seen someone listen to in public is Deadlock. Those guys seem genuinely nice and have fun wrestling opinions for the most part.

I've never seen someone listen to a podcast because it's impossible, podcasts are audio.

I take the bus to work and sometimes at red lights I'll glance in someones car and see the description of what they are listening to. There is also a guy that rides on my route from time to time and he listens to Joe Rogan sans earbuds.

the beat the champ belt was insanely dumb because how are you gonna get invested in any of those matches? youre either cheering for your guy to win 5 times and then not be champion anymore because hes stripped of his accolades for kicking too much rear end, or youre cheering for someone to get a belt that doesnt mean anything.

I could see it working if you got a world title shot after 5 defenses. I assume that wasn't the case.

Disney did a remake of Mighty Joe Young starring Charlize Theron back in 1998. It sucked poo poo and Jim Cornette is a racist.

Corny's repeated insistence that Matt Morgan was the next big thing always made me laugh. 7 feet tall or not, that dude sucked.

The Hellevator is a cool name for a finisher. That's the only nice thing I can say about Matt Morgan.
