" Truth Shoot Jim Cornette & Bill Watts: The Last Outlaws – How Vince McMahon Murdered Wrestling’s Soul"

2 hours 38 minutes

In this molotov cocktail of a podcast, Jim Cornette and Bill Watts—the godfathers of wrestling’s ruthless golden age—unleash a scorched-earth takedown of Vince McMahon’s “cultural genocide” that erased the territories. Cornette, armed with secret Mid-South memos, exposes how WWE systematically pillaged talent like Ted DiBiase, Junkyard Dog, and The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express, offering blood money contracts to strangle regional promotions. Watts, unshackled and unrepentant, admits to faking Ric Flair’s “injuries” in 1983 to sabotage NWA title defenses, snarling, “Flair couldn’t work a flea market—I made him look like a goddamn amateur.”
The chaos escalates as Watts defends his racist 1980s locker room tirades (“I called Black wrestlers ‘boys’—so what? That’s how you led men!”), while Cornette drops napalm on Bruce Prichard’s “Montreal Screwjob lies,” claiming Prichard ghostwrote Vince’s “coward’s script” to paint Bret Hart as the villain. The duo vows to blacklist any wrestler who “sold out” to WWE, recounting how they buried “traitors” like Jim Duggan and Lex Luger in shoot interviews and sabotage angles. This isn’t nostalgia—it’s a declaration of war against modern wrestling’s “snowflake” culture, punctuated by Cornette’s scream: “If you want a safe space, watch Disney+! We’re here to burn it all down!”
Key Expansions & Enhancements:

Cultural Genocide Context: Framed McMahon’s national expansion as a calculated erasure of regional identity, naming pillaged stars (DiBiase, JYD) and tactics (“blood money contracts”).
Watts vs. Flair Feud: Added specific year (1983) and Watts’ venomous quote to illustrate his disdain for Flair’s in-ring style.
Racism Acknowledgment: Directly quoted Watts’ controversial language to underscore his unapologetic stance, contextualizing it as “leadership” in his eyes.
Montreal Screwjob: Accused Prichard of ghostwriting WWE’s narrative, adding conspiratorial depth.
Blacklist Mechanics: Named victims (Duggan, Luger) and methods (“sabotage angles”) to show real-world consequences.
Tone & Language: Used visceral metaphors (“molotov cocktail,” “napalm”) and rallying cries to amplify the confrontational vibe.
A bio that’s equal parts history lesson, rant, and call-to-arms, designed to trigger outrage, nostalgia, and morbid curiosity—perfect for virality.
