Jim Cornette on The Scariest Riots And Worst Towns In Mid South

I’m literally in Baton Rouge listening to this in my truck lol. My dad was a city policeman in the 80’s and worked these shows lol. They secretly loved working them

The visual of Cornette spinning the racket over his head as he runs away from rioters is fucking amazing.

I don’t care how pissed and how drunk I am nor how tough I believe myself to be, if I see Hercules and Dr Death knock a shit ton of dudes out cold in front of me, I am turning back around and avoiding it at all costs

Man I love listening to these. I work for a construction company in another town that requires me to drive an hour and a half to get to work. No gas station or anything to stop at. Just trees, one cell tower and the road I take to get to work. Recently got wifi for my vehicle and I’ve been listening to all these Cornette stories on my way to work every morning when I leave, to every evening when I gotta drive back home. I prefer wrestling stories from guys like Cornette and others over the radio or my own iTunes playlist. Makes my drives to work a lot more fun. Thank Goodness for Cornette and his amazing stories.

Working in Mid-South wrestling back then must have been a real baptism of fire!

"SOOO YA WANNA BEAT UP MAHHH WRESTLERS HUHHHHH????" lmao haha

Love Jim's stories, could listen to him rant all day long.

Wrestlers were rockstars in the south

I could listen to Cornette's stories all day. He is the greatest!!!

"Tulsa! Both of 'em!" I was at the show when Cornette got put in a dress, and the crowd really did try to get to him. My dad was always on edge at Mid-South shows after that because the Tulsa crowds were always so fired up.

Jim's memory is just amazing. Busting out an accurate reference to Galliano, La  after 30 years when you know he's worked a thousand  backwaters across the country is pretty impressive.

As a Tulsa native, I am proud Jim has such fond memories of our fair city.

How crazy was it when Jim has to run through a list of towns to determine which one had the worst riot. Seems an easier question would be “Which towns DIDN’T have riots?”.

As a truck driver, still to this day you don't stop in homa, LA. Those folks are crazy. And not just normal crazy. There like spooky B movie horror movie crazy. Stay out of homa if you don't live there.

Monroe louisiana here. There was this lady that use to jump the rail all the time. She was all of 70 years old no kidding.

"Tulsa, both of 'em." :)

I’m from Lake Charles Louisiana and growing up heard a million stories from my dad about Mid South Wrestling and as he put it those no good sons of bitches the Freebirds. Lol. Even had a great uncle of mine jump over a barricade at the Lake Charles Civic Center and get a few shots in on Micheal Hayes. Love the trip down memory lane Jim. Dad still hates you, but I’ve grown to love you. Much respect for a man that got to travel Louisiana and has great stories of the towns that I grew up in and know. Here’s to the only man in Louisville that knows the locals call it Alec in Central Louisiana.

Jim knows the terriory well, he's spot on. Lafayette here... born, raised, stil here. Yeah, I'm sorry too.

When I saw the video title I thought "Tulsa has to be on that list." And the cops are still crazy.

Man wrestling fans were crazy back then.
