This is from Jan of 1983 - an early Jim Cornette promo here from mid-south wrestling. Jim Cornette, without a doubt, is one of the best managers in Pro Wrestling. It’s too bad that tna wrestling does not use him on the air much - or, these days - at all.

In fact, it’s a shame that the role of managers have been lowered so much these days. Unfortunately once a manager gets over (at least in the WWE’s case) they scrap them! Someone, quick, get Abraham Washington a ‘big man’!

At 10 seconds keep in mind that Jim Cornette does not curse - he yells “Funk!” The flamboyant one is Exotice Adrian Street. The announcer is the legendary Lance Russell.
