Episode 4: Jim Cornette

Our friend and long-time wrestling fan/tape trader/photographer Jim Cornette joins us for a chat about all sorts of random wrestling topics including:

  • Tape trading, the hunt for more wrestling in general, and the “command center” he jury-rigged when he went to Mid-South.
  • Satoru Sayama/original Tiger Mask, why he was successful, does his stuff hold up, how did his predecessors like Gran Hamada and Tatsumi Fujinami compare, etc.
  • How insider terms evolved and how fans becoming “smart” changed backstage etiquette.
  • The greatness of Jim and Brian’s late friend Dennis Coralluzzo.
  • Corny watching Pibe Diez’s accident in real time on the air..

And much more! This is a very different Jim Cornette podcast than what you’re used to.

Episode 1: Happy Thanksgriving

6:05, a new old-school wrestling podcast with David Bixenspan and Brian Last debuts with discussion of (in theory, as you’ll see):

  • Our fandom of pro wrestling on Superstation WTBS (you’re shocked, we know).
  • Terry Funk, and why meeting him is awesome.

But really, this show is just an excuse for us to talk about old wrestling each week. Everything from what names we got wrong reading magazines as kids to Titanes en el Ring to the preferred shop for wrestling magazines in our city in our youth to Brian having this painting of Dick the Bruiser created by Wayne St. Wayne/Mike Hammer/Dr. Blood while on acid:

It’s the first episode, so be kind. No, we’re not sure why that buzzing appeared suddenly at times. Yes, please disregard the theme song discussion because it had to be changed in editing due to an unforeseen technical issue (really!). But have fun and let us know what you think!
