Harley Race interviewed by Gordon Solie 

I'd love to see Nash go a hour with Harley

I was 14 and remember I could close my eyes when listening to Solie call a match and actually see the moves. I felt like it was the 1930's - 40's before TV when they listened to sports on the radio. A true talent and boon to the wrestling business.

No question about it

I agree and I’d pay top dollar for a reproduction of Gordon’s shirt or any of his neck ties.

We didn't get the NWA in NY except for Championship Wrestling from Florida on UHF. It's the only show my parents would let me stay up that late to watch(we didn't have a VCR) and Solie was the voice. I'd watch WWWF at midnight on Saturdays and Vince was garbage compared to Solie. You could tell they were talking to their core audience though. NWA were "wrestling" fans. WWWF was alot louder and built more for the Northeast. Solie was the GOAT

Not just your opinion, but fact.

Edged in stone fact

Amen

*Wow how far have we fallen. Champions before the WWF expansion made their belts look important.* Only now we truly understand why the territorial system worked wonders back in the day across North America.

The funny is Harley bodyslammed him way before Hogan

Psycho Machinery Dusty Rhodes. ; )

Ric Flair. Then he got scared and tried to take it back.

+Douglas Jones If he said that, I'd believe him.

Him LOOKING can kill a man

He was a badass. If you tried to fuck with him in the ring he would turn it into a shoot in nothing flat.

Harley Race looks like he will EAT a man.

Yup....and nowadays pussies like Bieber can have tattoos as well....

Exactly. men had'em but you knew they were either; huge Bikers/Hell's Angels, Ex-Marines/Army, or former sailors. Or those who came from unique ancient tribes etc. Today every pansy got tons of tattoos covering 85% of themselves up, but they'd cry at a moment's notice if they got into a real physical fight!

MGSBigBoss77 Lmao Facts

I also was thinking how taboo it was to have tattoos back then. It was like you were a legitimate tough guy if you had one. Now they are trendy and hipstery.

MGSBigBoss77 so true

Thomas H H Solie going to the disco tech LOL!

He'd beat Quint up and then take on the shark!

The shark would jump out of the water, Harley would say "did you say something " and the shark would say "no sir" and jump back in the water.

Race a champion he never quick what ever a man can believe and conceive he can achieve.

If Harley was in jaws the movie would be named Harley because he'd kill jaws in the first 5 mins. Of the movie.

He would’ve saved that cute blonde Chrissy, and run that shark out of the tertitory....

I think Bad News Brown too.

Just like Harley, your parents must have vowed to have a child to celebrate Harley winning the NWA title again. Great planning

Suzuki would win a shoot wrestling match but would last seconds in a brawl.

That's because Harley was damn good and he knew it and so did every fan, every promoter and his peers. He didn't need Meltzer's stars like The Bucks and Omega do because if it werent for Meltzer they would be nobodies. And notice that this video epitomizes sports based wrestling. AEW or WWE is nowhere close to this. They are just cheap imitations of each other. This generation is why I have stopped watching wrestling. I have downloaded all the old matches I could get my hands on and I enjoy that because that's pure pro wrestling......

Harley Race would demolish those guys

Kayfabe died

Damn. Looks like he's at least 45

Darrin Baker actually he was 34

Isa1980 - thank you.

Darrin Baker - they don't know it because he wasn't 22.

...said absolutely NOBODY with a bit of knowledge ever.

@@jonathanturbide2232 Harley Race was tough and promoters liked him...but Race was not a good athlete at all
