This same angle was done with Jim amd the Midnite Express in Mid South in 84. I was confused when Crockett showed up, he wasn't in Mid South in 84. Then I realized it was NWA in 88 after Jim Ross started announcing.
That was so funny! I never saw that particular show in the '80s, but seeing Jim Cornette's face squeezed into that cake by the Fantastics is hilarious and so funny! The Fantastics put Cornette face first into the cake then ran out of the studio away from their rivals the Midnight Express! They really set Jim up!
The Rock n' Roll Express did the same thing to Cornette in Mid South a few years earlier. In any event,it's always great to see "mommy's little boy"get a face full of buttercream icing!
The best was the Mid-South cake slam. Corny yells at Jim Ross for running the tape then Bill Watts come out and says'"I gave the order to run the tape,I Thought it was funny." Corny insults Watts and his son,then Bill slaps him. Later on when talking to Butch Reed,Watts gets beat up by the Express and Reed justs walks away.
Didn't Cornette get caked in World Class as well? It might have been the Fantastics that did it there as well. You would think Jimmy would learn to beware of large cakes!
This is the third time that Cornette got cake-slammed. Second was Mid-South by the Rock & Roll Express and the first was by the babyface wrestlers in the North Georgia-Chattanooga territory. There he managed The French Angel,Jerry Novak and Carl Fergie.

And that was about the hardest slap ever seen on TV. In his book, Watts praised Cornette for taking such a hard shot.
ccie12933 2 years ago
Yes - this was the third version of the angle, but the first to a nation wide audience who probably never saw the first two.
