In his latest podcast, he talks about Seth Rollins. He clearly loves the guy. He tells a good story about how Seth almost went to TNA, but Cornette told him to question Terry Taylor on some things on the contract he was offered, and in that time the WWE offered him a deal. Listening to his podcasts, I very rarely hear anything I disagree with. I think if he and I were watching WrestleMania together, he'd like the same things I liked and dislike the same things that didn't sit well with me. And the things we didn't agree upon, I'm sure he'd educate me on. And I'd also need to replace a window after a tennis racket got thrown through it... Man, such a retroactive mark for James E. at the moment. |

Also, the dude has a photographic memory. You get him started on a subject and he's like "Oh yeah, that was May of 1989, in this city, with this attendance number, and such and such's wife was there, and this match went on second, and -- heh, heh, funny story about that guy --". I think I heard him forget what the sound guy's cat's name was at a spot show in '82 was once.
And I don't hear anyone call him on talking shit or anything like that. No one is like "Oh, you can't trust a thing that comes out of Jim Cornette's mouth." He's just a guy that knows a lot about wrestling, and clearly loves it. |

He wrote everything down. Not sure if that counts as Photograpic memory. He just took a shitton of notes.

Oh, yeah. I don't actually know the guy's capacity for the retention of details, so I shouldn't have used the word "photographic" literally. I was just putting the guy over. But even so with the notes -- unless he has Deep Blue coding and referencing them -- he seems to be able to call them up too fast to not have a pretty good idea of what happened back in the day.

I did enjoy his story about Seth Rollins. And you are right he's very much the essence of "it's still real to me dammit!", it's nice to have that territory perspective on the state of the business today ... I'm glad you enjoy it. I think I feel just as strongly about Taz's perspective.

I had a general knowledge of the territories (like I knew that The Rolling Stones are a band that formed in the 60's), but I never really dived in and got an understanding of the particulars until I listened to Corny. There are some ideas that would genuinely work today. And in some ways, the WWE seem to be heading back to those ideas.
Brock Lesnar was sort of like the traveling champion (although he didn't work anywhere else). The same with The Rock really. NXT could really benefit by having some sort of "sister" development promotion that it can trade talent with, send guys away to prevent them from overexposure, and allow them to perform in front of different crowds. As I've said in another thread, I've become borderline obsessed with this idea of having Jerry Lawler head up a new development promotion in Memphis. He and Bill Dundee are fighting to preserve an arena down there. The WWE should just buy it and have Lawler and Dundee run shows out of there with WWE talent and development guys and girls that are being trained at a wrestling school that can be run by Dr. Tom, Tracy Smothers Brian Kendrick, Cheerleader Melissa, Norman Smiley, Goldust and Vader, with Jerry Lawler, Bill Dundee, Zeb Colter and Victoria as veteran talent/consultants. Give them TV on the Network and have some top stars work the show for a few weeks to give it some presence. |

Austin, Jericho, and JR regularly. Sometimes Piper. Cornette is the BEST podcast guest and the WORST host. Listen to Squared Circle Gazette Radio too. Sometimes Piper but he need to take some damn Ritalin or something.

I think that's why Cornette has Alice Radley there, to sort of reel him in.

They're plenty of goofballs in WWE but no "Will You Stop/" "cut that shit out" guys/gals. I don't think it's possible.

They'd never let anybody be that real. The closest they could come would be a HHH/HBK show. Hunter could be all "I'm wearing a suit and wrestling is serious business" while Shawn could look like his homeless backwoods self and portray upcoming events with action figures.
"Up next we have the Ascension vs the Usos!" "Shawn that's not the Ascension that's you in brown chaps and you in green chaps." "I know but the Ascension doesn't have toys yet!" |

Not at all saying this guy is remotely on Heenan's level, but Brad Maddox could fill the Heenan role. I got that Heenan vibe from him when he did commentary on Main Event.

I pretty much just listen whenever a guest interests me on Jericho/Austin/Colt's podcasts although I'm way behind. Used to go through a shitload of podcasts at work but can't really listen to them there anymore.
Also I've enjoyed the Attitude Era podcast where they review all of the PPVs of that era. It used to be weekly but recently they've only done like 1 PPV a month. SummerSlam 2000 is next so really they need to stretch it out as presumably the show will be finished by the time they review WrestleMania 17. |

Maddox and JR could do something good on that level. Not saying it would be as good, but it would be there thing and it could strike a similar chord.

Jim Cornette's is the only one I usually have to listen to every week.
his "Feud" with Kenny Bolin has entertained me too. Cornette has a sharp mind when it comes to the history of the business. Just watch his shoot from 2000 and you'll get a glimpse of it. I love the fact that to this day he's still a big fan and has always stayed one. His collection is out of this world amazing. |

I've tried listening to Roddy Piper's podcast, but he's such a terrible interviewer. He can't keep his mouth shut while his guests are trying to answer his questions.

Bumping.
What are you listening to now? I listen to What Happened When... Jericho... and E&C (but I don't "love" it), sometimes Bischoff. Rarely listen to JR and Austin anymore unless they have an interesting guest. Not interesting in X-Pac's, Prichard, Cornette, Raven or Killing the Town. Generally not interested in any fan podcasts, only commentators I listen to are from F4Wonline. Tazz used to be my favorite way back when he started but what the fuck happened to him, he is such a loser now. |
