Now THIS is a promo that makes you want to see a match! Man, how I miss the 80s, when guys like Coronette and Nature Boy could make you want to sell plasma three times in one week and then hitchhike to see one of their main event matches. Wrestling today is so boring compared to this.
Did anyone post this matchup? I'd love to see it. This is one of those dream matchups people always talk about. Too bad it didnt happen when the teams were in their prime(s).
Jim Cornette looks still around.LOL Jim : "You've seen a lot of blood. You've seen a lot of guts. You've seen a lot of fights. You've seen a lot of people get hurt. But you have never seen anything like Bobby, Dennis Condrey, Stan Lane and Jim Cornette, the one and only original Midnight Express, together in Tampa to destroy, to crumble, to manipulate, and to massacre the Rock and Roll Express and the Fantastics!!! OMG i smell money!!!" and I love "Beautiful" Bobby soothing him at 1:11.LOL
Jim Cornette- often imitated, never duplicated!!! Anyone wanting to learn how to be a Manager, this guy is a great man to study. Wrestling needs a guy like him now.

"OH MY GOD I SMELL MONEY!", I can tell Dennis, Bobby and Jim had fun doing that promo by the way they were laughing at the end. It brought back old time memories among them.
Actually, the part about the Rock N Roll Express and the Fantastics teaming up for the first time is not exactly true. They have teamed up before in 88 or 89 when they went up against Ivan Koloff, Russian Assassin, and the Varsity Club.
This is why wrestling sucks today. They don't have a wrestler today who can cut a promo like that. They may look the part but they don't have the charisma or swagger to promote there own match. Sounds like they looked in the mirror and practiced all night rehersing. Its horrible!
oh man Jim Cornette can still get you going with his intensity. Back in the day I was lucky enough to live in Mid South territory and Rock & Roll Express and Midnight Express fueds were legend. I'd go to see the matches in Okla. City and I'd have me 5 dozen bandanas on like my tag team.
All you wannabe managers in indy wrestling, pay attention. You wanna be the man? Watch and learn how to cut a promo the right way! Cornette will always be the measuring stick! If you're Cornette good then you're good, man!!!
Yea, Cornette is damn good at promos. I always thought he was a nerd when i was a kid but he obviously played the antagonist role perfectly.

Even today, he can make you love him or hate him. He knew his craft and upped the bar for anyone who thinks they can make it as a manager.

I got to say I always thought Jim Cornette was horrible. He reminded me of a Jimmy Hart type guy, too corny to even take seriously.

Minority of one. Cornette can make you hate him or laugh. And if you think that Jimmy Hart was corny,check out his Memphis stuff.
