of a part of memphis and the culture and lawler was such a name at that time and he was the biggest local celebrity but anyway the point is the reason why i was the first guest is because they taped it at least the first episode and you know usually the subsequent ones because lawler lived in memphis at that point but they taped it after the regular wrestling show but on the very first day before the things even aired hey i think he had some stuff on tape and some other stuff he's gonna do and then they realized that the only person that hadn't that was driving by himself and didn't have a car load of people headed to nashville for the matches in nashville was me says hey cornette will you hang around for about an hour and okay so he interviewed me in the heel segment and the other studio uh supposed that that was the deal so we wouldn't be on the same set babyface and heel i would be scared of lawler but since i was in a different studio and he was interviewing me on the monitor in front of his set it was okay and so i got to be the i had no business being on the show then it's not like they were using me on the wrestling program but i was the one that could hang around without screwing up everybody else's day i think that's the only episode of the show i ever did maybe i mean that was summer of NUMBER_TOKEN and you were gone in a few months i was i was going fairly quickly i wonder maybe it was because uh i did a bad spot on the show no i'm kidding hey one more question from me before we get going with the actual show here with your show yeah mid-south wrestling you know me and mike mills were viewing on the mid-south wrestling television review and we're watching the early episodes of the midnight express whose idea was it it was right when you got there whose idea was it the book tom lentz and give him a little bit of a run on tv he seemed really out of place in the ring well am i wrong he had no he had something because tom lentz do you know who he became and where you would have seen him several years later no where's that he became boomer h lynch in in continental yeah and it is he was a big guy and they recognized that there's something entertaining about this guy but he's very green but so they get a little something sometimes you just take a guy and do something and see if it clicked it it wasn't going to set the world on fire anyway but at the same time if it sucked the fans wouldn't set the seats on fire so that's probably what that was but then within uh a couple of years they started you he just lents SHORT_HYPHENATED_TOKEN was not exactly a you know barn burner of a wrestling name so he became boomer lynch and i think he's one of those guys just when the territories went away it looked like he went away because there was no place to continue to develop on one of those early episodes it was either the second or third appearance you made you called yourself jimmy cornett was it your decision or someone else's to just call yourself jim um because in memphis
