July 23, 201114 yr Author comment_5477541 These guys really, genuinely hate the town of Beckley, West Virginia.
July 24, 201114 yr comment_5477625 Cornette does some tremendous local promos ripping on the coal miners and mountain folk and what have you.
August 24, 201114 yr comment_5480639 Awesome. Plus when you know the backstory they really hate Beckley.
May 15, 201213 yr comment_5502657 Am I crazy or does Dr. Tom sound a bit like Roddy Piper ? There is a fair stretch of his career where it could be said Dr. Tom was doing a Piper imitation in his interviews.
August 27, 201213 yr comment_5513508 I never noticed it during his time as Skip but maybe he never got to talk with Sunny. But watching these yearbooks, I started to really notice how much he sounded like Piper.
August 27, 201213 yr comment_5513510 Heh, Pritchard freely admits he was a Piper rip off and he actually wrote a really great blog about it just a couple of weeks ago At the moment his website http://www.drtomprichard.com is down but you can read the google cached version here http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/sear...om-best-or.html
April 1, 201312 yr comment_5540614 Definitely didn't pick up on Pritchard channeling Piper here. Great local promo by Cornette.
July 20, 201312 yr comment_5552639 Prichard's Piper impersonation is relatively subdued here. In USWA-Texas it was blatantly out of control. If there's one pukehole Stanfield Lane does NOT want to go to, it's Beckley, West Virginia.

August 27, 201510 yr comment_5695134 Not much to add for this one, just that Stanfield hates the pukehole that is Beckley, WV! Fun little promo for an upcoming house show.
January 21, 20169 yr comment_5722229 Great local promo for an upcoming Beckley card. Not much of substance can be said in a minute fifteen, but it's an opportunity to hear Dr. Tom talk as a Body. I never minded the Piper imitation; he naturally sounds a bit like Rod, so why not take advantage of it to try and make some money? It got a bit out of control down in Texas, but I think Papa Jarrett wanted it that way so he could have something close to classic 1984 Piper in the booth. Once Tom's time as a commentator was over, the "Piperness" in his voice came back to its natural level. These Fantastics were the Fulton brothers; where was Tommy Rogers, and did Corny try to bring him in at any point? Why exactly do Corny and Stan legitimately hate Beckley, West Virginia? I have a feeling that I've heard the story, but I've heard so many of Corny's stories about why he hates certain towns and people that they all run together.
April 15, 20205 yr comment_5914885 Beckley really took some shots here....wow. Are they wrestling against the Fantastics or the town?
