Loss Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 These guys really, genuinely hate the town of Beckley, West Virginia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cox Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Cornette does some tremendous local promos ripping on the coal miners and mountain folk and what have you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Awesome. Plus when you know the backstory they really hate Beckley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Am I crazy or does Dr. Tom sound a bit like Roddy Piper ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a fair stretch of his career where it could be said Dr. Tom was doing a Piper imitation in his interviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLIK Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCampbell Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Wow. They do no like the city of Beckley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Definitely didn't pick up on Pritchard channeling Piper here. Great local promo by Cornette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSR Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 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.
