JYD is back in the N-Double-A. He wants the Four Horsemen ... and ... Mean Mark? Cornette interrupts him, gloating about the MX tag title win. He wants to know where JYD has been. JYD tells him he has been at 845 Deberry Street in Louisville, KY.

 

Cornette: "That's my mother's house!"

JYD: "That's what I'm sayin'. I'm yo daddy."

 

Hilarious!

Cornette's revelation had me laughing to the point where I missed JYD saying "I'm yo' daddy." Cornette's attempted subterfuge afterward is almost as good.

 

Priceless segment. An in-shape JYD would have had a lot to offer to any promotion. Caudle and Schiavone seemed like they were legitimately cracking up.

Was the crowd barking for the Dog, or were they booing? It's hard to tell.

 

JYD continues to come off as a badass here like he did in the USWA earlier. It's almost like he's on a repentance tour, trying to get back what he lost in terms of credibility by leaving Mid-South for the WWF. Corny willingly plays the fool for his old friend here, as the Horsemen had more pressing matters on their minds. It'll be interesting to see as we go on why this run is almost universally panned by Internet fans, as it certainly looks to be off to a flying start.

 

Was the address JYD gave Mrs. Cornette's real Louisville address at the time? I've heard that she was legitimately a huge wrestling fan who dabbled backstage a bit in her time, although "Mama Cornette" was clearly a fictional character.

Returning to the NWA is the Junkyard Dog! He says that he’s been all over the world but is now back in the NWA and looking towards the Four Horsemen, Mean Mark and anybody else who wants to step in the dog yard. Play time is over, he’s here to stay! Jim Cornette joins them and he’s annoyed as this interview time was allocated for the winners of the U.S. tag title match, the Midnight Express, and not for the Junkyard Dog. Cornette wonders where the JYD has been these past few years while the Midnight Express have been winning matches and titles. The Dog says:

 

‘I’ve been at 845 Deberry Street, Louisville, KY. Do you know where that is?’

‘That’s my mother’s house!’

‘That’s what I’m saying. I’m your Daddy!’

 

Cornette tries to blindside the JYD with his tennis racket but the Dog catches it and he scarpers out of there.

 

I wondered why this had been put on the set, then laughed out loud at ‘that’s my mother’s house’ and then I knew! Fun little segment.
