John LayfieldHOST
I don't know.
John LayfieldHOST
I, I... and I think the same thing about Dutch Mantel.
John LayfieldHOST
You know, Dutch was a good booker, too.
John LayfieldHOST
Re- or, you know, had a lot of success, and Dutch was never brought in as a booker.
John LayfieldHOST
So you had these guys [laughs] who were Southern wrestlers.
John LayfieldHOST
You know, the Briscoes came in, and, you know, it, they had all these guys that were Southern wrestlers.
John LayfieldHOST
But for some reason, the stigma stuck with Dundee and Dutch Mantel, and I guess it was the stigma.
John LayfieldHOST
I don't know how else to explain it.
Tiger Ali SinghGUEST
And I do have businesses, right? So it does keep you on your toes.
John PozHOST
So last week, we were kind of talking about Puerto Rico, kind of talking about a little bit of Dutch, a little bit of Jerry McDivitt mixed in, a little WWF.
John PozHOST
I wanted to talk about, because we only talked about it briefly, but I want to talk about Lowdown, because that was such an interesting time in WWF.
John PozHOST
Because it was like, well, what are they doing with D'Lo? What the hell are they doing with Chaz? The Headbangers are broken up.
16 MINS LATER
John PozHOST
I'm guessing they got it from like wherever.
John PozHOST
Yeah.
Tiger Ali SinghGUEST
It would have been Dutch, but Dutch it came after,
John PozHOST
right? So,
Bob SmithHOST
And the Georgia Championship Wrestling for a spell.
Bob SmithHOST
They would bring him in and he would be, he was a guy like a Dutch Mantell or a Kevin Sullivan.
Bob SmithHOST
The guys who really understood wrestling and could be creative and give a lot of input and behind the scenes where they were as important as they were in front of the camera.
Bob SmithHOST
But he had a unique charisma.
LeroyHOST
Yeah, I mean, it's a sad day that we lose two people like that.
ZachHOST
He was the AWA Southern Tag Team Champions with Robert Gibson, Jerry Lawler, Robert Fuller, Tommy Rich, Steve Kern, Dutch Mantell.
ZachHOST
These are all names that you know, whether you know you know them.
ZachHOST
He was the AWA Southern heavyweight champion nine times.
Eric CornishGUEST
And Tuesday nights, they were at the Louisville Gardens and they would tell you about it.
Eric CornishGUEST
And so, you know, growing up, it was Jerry Lawler, it was Jeff Jarrett, it was Dutch Mantell, it was PG-13, it was Doug Gilbert and Eddie Gilbert and all those guys, you know what I mean? And Brian Christopher.
Eric CornishGUEST
And so that's what I started growing up on because that's what my dad loved the most.
Eric CornishGUEST
And then, of course, along the lines, he introduces me to, you know, NWA, which became WCW, 605 Saturday Nights and your Ric Flair's and Dusty Rhodes things.
WilsonHOST
I was like, what? So Kenny Bowen's like that, like that thing that would happen to some guy that Russo, you know, who knows who that would happen to.
WilsonHOST
But, um, So he goes on where he's like, remember, you know, Cornette is so funny and Dutch Mantel is so funny.
WilsonHOST
You know, they would say things like he's deader than Kelsey's nuts.
WilsonHOST
Loves that.
Nikita BreznikovHOST
He was an established announcer for collegiate sports, and he didn't do a bad job, but he was not a wrestling guy.
Nikita BreznikovHOST
So thank God for Dutch Savage, or Dutch Mantell.
Nikita BreznikovHOST
Dutch carried it, basically.
Nikita BreznikovHOST
He smoothed the edges, without a doubt.
Dutch MantellHOST
Great, great guy.
ChrisHOST
Indeed.
ChrisHOST
Well, I think that draws this episode of Story Time with Dutch Mantell to an end.
ChrisHOST
Uh, I'd like to personally thank everyone who has watched this so far.
ChrisHOST
Uh, thank you for putting up with me.
Matt McCarthyHOST
...
Matt McCarthyHOST
Bob Caudle and Dirty Dutch Mantel in full evil cowboy gimmick.
Vince AverillHOST
Yes.
Vince AverillHOST
Yo, somebody who?
David ShoemakerHOST
Obviously one of my just icons growing up down in, in, in Memphis.
David ShoemakerHOST
It was him and Lawler and, and, and Dutch Mantell and, uh, you know, sometimes Buddy Landel, eventually Jeff Jarrett obviously.
David ShoemakerHOST
But, like, Bill Dundee was, like, the number 1A guy for most of my childhood.
David ShoemakerHOST
Um, it seemed like he was about five feet tall and, [clears throat] you know, real jacked, at least especially for that era.
