Mr. Mantell could you please explain why no one punches like Bob Armstrong or Jerry Lawler is the art of throwing punches dead? Also I watched you on channel 9 on tupelo Ms, growing up i hated you cause i KNEW you were a bad guy just because, of how scary looking you looked. Lol
I watch all my wrestling podcasts on YouTube. I watch the full podcasts for Dutch, The Franchise and Kevin Nash. I watch most of the clips for WSI and Jim Cornette and I watch some other random clips that the algorithm recommends if they look interesting.
Guys, why not just look at your comments! You'll get answers quick.
Thank you Dutch and James and i watch you guys and of course Corny and woo nation fyi
Tony and aew will never get back the money on that shitty game! There are loads of problems with it, 20 million on a game, that will never see a profit. Lmao! Shahid Khan just blew over 100 million on baby Tony's ambitious all friends wrestling. I guess when money runs like tap water, you can waste it on shit like that.
this, cornette, and kevin nash
Dutch…… Turn off the motion detection on your camera! I've said this for like a month now! Easy as that.
John Cazana is the promoter Ron bought out in K-town around 75. My grandfather was a CPA for a number of southern promoters from 48-75ish.
Look at those 2 fagart geezers. I just had to lol.
i used to watch Cornette but he goes on rants that end up spiraling out of control and the original topic gets lost in his mania. i just watch this show mostly now and every now and then turn into Corny.
I grew up listening to Lance Russell. To me, he was the greatest.
I really enjoyed Dax from FTR and his podcast.. I was bummed when they stopped..
Cornette and Dutch are the complete shows i watch on here. I'll catch little videos here and there with other wrestlers. I will not watch anything with shitstain on it!
TK needs to be the owner.. thats it. Hire people with real experience to do booking and maybe on screen authority figure of some sort
This is my no.1 wrestling podcast, after that its Eric bichoff and Kevin Nash
Both Hardy boys are utter shit, Jeff is a drugged up breaker of tables who has very little actual wrestling ability and Matt can go to hell after all the nonsense he foisted on people with his stupid characters, teleporting etc.
My Top 5 Rasslin' Podcasts
1.) Jim Cornette Experience
2.) Keepin' it 100 with Konnan & Disco
3.) Storytime With Dutch Mantell
4.) 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff
5.) Kevin Nash with Sean Oliver
That’s easy, yours and Jim Cornettes that’s it. The only two people that speaks sense
I listen to grillin jr on youtube. I like hearing the stories from the territories and I like Conrad Thompson and JR talking. This one is great also just found it
I listen to Cornette every week a lot of times everyday ,and my other regular podcasts listens are , yours,Double A ,sometimes Foley ,Double J ,RVD,Angle and Mavens new channel. And sometimes JR ,All on YouTube I listen to Corny because he’s my all time favorite manager but my regular 2 podcast are Cornette and this one
I listen to Dutch and Corny. If I ran a wrestling company, they would be my creative. Just invaluable as far as knowledge of the business and wrestling history. Keep up the good work, Dutch and James.
I only listen to this show and Cornette
Podcasts I listen to regularly are:
1.Jim Cornette
2.Dutch
3.AWA Unleashed (growing up in Chicago, this is the wrestling I watched growing up)
I listen to a bunch here and there but none on a regular basis.
I listen to Nash/Jake/Dutch.
I'm trying to avoid politics and news so I'm listening to wrestling podcasts every day! Unless they are talking about politics or news. Which is why I don't listen to Cornette. He get's too political and too negative sometimes. This one is brilliant and I also usually like Keepin it 100 with Konan and Disco.
Jim Cornettes podcasts 1&2 the Dirty Dutchman coming in 3rd for me. I used to listen to Conrad’s but not so much these days….
I listen to ya'll,both of Cornette's and Kliq This.
I listen to (I’m retired and have lots of time)
1. Cornette – I generally agree with him. Love his stories, promos, and sense of humor.
2. Dutch – love the territory stuff! Please talk in depth about Central States in the mid 70s!
3. Jim Ross –
4. Prichard
5. AA
6. JJ
7. Stick to wrestling
8. Charting the territories
9. Regional Wrestling
10. Bischoff
5,
Dirty Dutch, you have become my favorite wrestling podcast to listen to. Your style flows and never feels like it's dragging on. I also enjoy the fact that you don't go out of your way to tear people down. Seems you tell it like it is with out being an ass hole. I also listen to J.C. pretty religiously, which I think is him dialed up to eleven. Jim gets to be little to much at times. He's a very black and white kind of guy, and sometimes I don't care for his political takes. Just started listening to Shane Douglas, he is well spoken and intelligent while still remaining civil. I catch clips of double J and Kevin Nash. Nash will talk about other things than just wrestling. Which is alright. Bischoff can be fun when he's going off on the dirt sheet guys. Also the host of the show makes the difference. James (I hope I got your name correct) your are awesome and killing it. So I consume a lot of your channel. Conrad Thompson makes me want to hit next. I digress, good stuff here.
We want to know what Dutch really thinks about George. He wasn’t clear enough.
58:10 Dave Ka-pell …ok Dutch 😭😁
Gordon technically worked Mid Atlantic because he worked on the 1st Starrcade
I mean is that even a question lol it’s always Jeff.. even tho Matt is the most consistent… you PAY to see Jeff , nobody pays to see Matt lol
Dutch's comment about being in Pro Wrestling 50 years and loaing his patience 20 years ago made me almost choke on my chocolate milk…
Matt is the better Hardy. He has the brains, business mind, personality and better wrestling skill.
All Jeff has are good looks and the ablity to fall from high places without killing himself because his body is always limp from being doped up on drugs. He has no personality or charisma. If it wasn't for his good looks he would have never got 101 chances and be another Teddy Hart.
This one, both of Cornette and Brian Last are constant.
Now, sometimes I watch Stevie Richards, or Jeff Jarrett or JR. … I can not stand Kevin Nash so I never watch that, maybe a clip or 2
Favorite wrestling podcasts? Dutch, Dutch and Dutch. Sometimes I listen to Corny or JR, but Dutch and James are a regular thing.
Actually my opinion on greatest announcers different a little bit from Dutch Ruby Gordon family is by far the best then you have j.r. and then Lance Russell
Listening to this thought of an interesting thing when somebody ask what the difference between Dixie Carter and Tony Khan relatively nothing but what got me thinking was an NFL connection obviously mr. Khan old the Jacksonville Jaguars it's probably a good bet to say the Tennessee Titans is the reason that the Carter family got involved in the first place with TNA Jeff Jarrett had an angle with Frank wycheck I believe and other members of the Titans who were friends of his in real life either way the angle was they were supposed to get into a tussle with Jared walks up to the barricade and they were probably going to have a little bit of a shouting match if not a little bit of shoveling and the Titans got a little bit overzealous and a couple of them jumped the guardrail and it made national news there was on ESPN it was in the papers and if it wasn't for that angle Bob Carter probably wouldn't have bought the company
My Top 3 Wrestling Podcasts are:
1. Dutch/James: Great chemistry, stay on topic but allow some off-script moments which I appreciate, James has an English accent which is always great. Plus, this is the ONLY podcast where I will listen to every full episode without fail and not just the clips unlike Cornette's.
2. Cornette/Brian Last: Another good duo but Cornette strays WAY too much into politics and even then Cornette sees the world in black and white and it SUPER annoying. I can't enjoy a single video concerning Kane because Cornette hates anything and everyone that is remotely right-leaning even when he used to praise Glenn Jacobs for being well-spoken and well-educated. Somehow being right-wing means you lose all of your previous intelligence to Cornette. Irritating but I learned to skip ahead or click off. Other than that, love to hear his opinions on wrestling.
3. RVD: Contrary to what people think, RVD is someone who can actually offer a genuinely unique perspective to wrestling topics or even life advice. He lives his life his way and never truly strays from that which I can respect immensely and he's a funny guy. Only problem is that I don't exactly vibe with his co-host. Sometimes he's okay, but I feel like he's too much of a fan sometimes (I understand they are actual friends) and smiles a bit too much BUT he does keep things generally on topic. I think RVD's podcast is best if you view it for a more chill atmosphere and think about it like just hanging out with some guys shooting the shit. Don't expect any overt professionalism and just go in with the expectation of vibing and I think it fills that niche quite nicely.
Top 3 worst Podcast are:
Anything concerning Conrad Thompson. Listen, I can enjoy Bischoff in a podcast but Conrad has the charisma and personality of a brick and is REALLY boring to listen to. To me, he's an example of someone who stick TOO much to a script. I know James has one but it doesn't feel forced with him if they need to move on from a topic. Conrad is a literal robot which is a shame because he has some podcast from people I would legit listen to if they had a different co-host. Kurt Angle's co-host is someone I would put dead center of average. James is top-tier, Angle's is mid, Conrad is just bad.
Is ANYONE a fan of Reby Hardy?
Honestly, I think Dutch is being a little hard on Matt here. Matt Hardy in 2023 is a clumsy, goofy Young Bucks suck-up but back in the day, he could work in his own right and by all accounts, he had a head on his shoulders and reined Jeff in a bit. I've heard people say that Matt came up with all the good ideas for spots in Hardy tag matches. Version 2.0 was a REALLY fun gimmick as well. That's way in the past though and it's fair to say that even Version 2.0 didn't come close to Jeff's level of popularity.
Brian and Corny on the daily. You guys too. I quite like Troy Martin. He seems very real and has balls. Much respect. And although I've never been crazy about the way he did the back stage politics, Nash is a very bright guy. Sean as well.
I’m a cult of Cornette member but Dutch and James are awesome
