HONKY TONK MAN ON GREG VALENTINE 

Steiner is the man that's why

+Wolverine Pete what was Greg like? I'm just curious.

Sassy Troy He had his own booth next to Scott Steiner. He acted like he really didn't want to be there and when my nephew would ask him questions about getting started in wrestling as far as schools go, he gave short and rude answers. He signed an autograph and posed with Ben for a photo but he looked like he was being held hostage. Scott Steiner was just the opposite and was a dream to meet. I wish we would have waited the two hours to meet Roddy Piper because he passed away like a month later.

+Wolverine Pete sucks when that happens. It leaves a huge impression on you afterwards. I had a sorta similar experience with Tommy Dreamer at Fan Axxess for WM 18. People say he's fan friendly but that day he sure wasn't.

+Wolverine Pete He's an asshole...well known fact.

That would have been good!

@@myquest666420 That would have been perfect.

They could have teamed up right after WM7...

Brilliant

#hhh #wwe #vince - give this man a job!

Smfh

Valentine always looked like a tough sob!

Xanax."Hi I'm Greg Valentine,the Charlie Brown teacher has more personality than me. Where's my Xanax bottle?"

LMFAO

No. Ace looks like a young honky.

Agree 💯

I hear that. Randy was great in the ring and great doing promos. HTM sucked at both.

@@christopherwood2290 savage was I believe the superior wrestler,htm had his moments though.

I’d rather hear an honest account than just one I agree with.

Macho Man was amazing at many things , one thing he never was - Greatest I.C. Champ of ALL time - That was, will always be The Honk Tonk Man.

I see HIM As the bitter gronky tonk sham

I remember when I was a kid and he was trying to be a face when he first came to wwf. No one bought it and he changed it up and became a great heel. His gimmick could probably even work today and he would get great heat still

@@locutus1126 bwahahahahaa dude! the honky tonk man today would melt fucking faces! there would be so much you could do with a heel honky tonk man these days it ain't funny. i haven't watched wwe in a while. is elias still around? he could be son of honky tonk and just go ape shit with that gimmick.

He looked like Ma Farelli in 1987 😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol

I saw a comment once saying he looked like a lesbian phys -ed teacher...

He pretty much looks the same as he always has, just more wrinkled

From Elvis to Roy

Back in his day they lived their gimmicks. Heels would never sign autographs or be nice to fans.

True,but the vast majority of these stories are from well after that period of time when heels did that.

You should of put him in the figure-4 right then and there!

My friend got Greg Valentines autograph at the airport when my friend was a teenager. He said he was pretty cool.

Because he is a prick!

Can u add anything else about your experience. I love to hear about those larger than life wrestlers

And Virgil wrote it

Hopefully he married a good woman or something and stopped double booking himself. I like his good side.

Or he found the right meds.

Talked to him at a Comic con. Real down to earth and was a special ed teacher

Surge Álvez yeah that WILL be her in 10years time like a mirror image and yet you'll still get these desperate, geek marks who can't get a girl to even give them a smile, saying "she's still hot!" Huhuhuhuhu(panting like a excited little puppy dog) as they don't know what a real attractive woman is at her peak and how to behave around them and to approach them. They either get so excited when they see a pair of saggy tits that me n you would shrug our shoulders at and say no thanks I'll wait for actual hot tits and panic and do nothing or they will approach it all exited, nervous and sniffing around it like a dog or try to follow it around little a little puppy and the majority of the ugly pussy will tell them to fuck off or you may get one or two who think "hmm I can use this loser" lead him on that she's gonna put out but secretly laughing at the geek and use him to buy her drinks etc all night them dump him at the end of it. Shame that a big percentage of those kinds of guys are also wrestling fans well really marks rather than fans.

Sounds like a butt-buddy deal between those two.

Lannis31 Pat Patterson is notorious for abusing his position in the WWE and extorting sexual favors from wrestlers. That is sexual harrassment, not homophobia.

bellefeu Although wasn't Patterson notorious for sexually harassing lower card guys? I think Barry O was one of the guys that accused Patterson of harassment and claimed that he was turfed out of the WWF when he complained about it. Steve Lombardi was another one that Patterson took an... interest in. If I recall, it was 3 guys, Terry Gavin, Mel Phillips and Pat Patterson, who sexually harassed (and if you believe some of the reports, did worse to) the jobbers and ring boys. It's kind of messed up now to listen to the old WWF broadcasts and listen to Gorilla Monsoon, Alfred Hayes and Gene Okerlund point out that a jobber "graduated at the top of his class from the Terry Garvin School of Wrestling" and understand what they're really saying. I would guess that someone like Valentine, who was already established as a main-eventer in the Mid-Atlantic and NWA territories, probably wouldn't have had to put out for Patterson in order to get ahead in the WWF. Then again, wasn't there an interview with Roddy Piper, another guy who was already big when he got to the WWF, where he got upset and choked up when they asked him if Patterson had done anything to him? So who knows.

Patterson definitely had that reputation. I saw that interview with Roddy Piper about Patterson. He did get a bit choked up.We probably will never know what happened there.

Tim Allen To team with Barber and HTM would be depressing indeed. No argument there. WWF/WWE has no respect for well-established many wrestlers' histories. Among other examples, look at Harley Race having to wear a crown as 'The King'. Same with Haku/Meng or Road Warriors. These are polite examples. McMahon is probably *ahem* respect-challenged unless he can claim to building a wrestler's careers from scratch...with concomittant control

@@joen8529 Yup, a WWF wrestler told me in Hamden, CT in 1984 that Snuka killed his girlfriend. Many wrestlers lived in Hamden due to it being mid-way between Boston Garden, Hartford Civic Center, New Haven Veterans Memorial Coliseum and Madison Square Garden.

Bethany Etherington always saw him as the poor mans flair

Hi Bethany!

Me too

@@jasonsackett8171 but flair was the cheap version. Greg cared about the business. Flair cared about himself. Greg worked!!! Flair only worked.for champiinships, for himself. Greg was the real deal flair was cheap version. Great mic work from flair though. So over the top. Was always a good watch. But everyone new greg was the real deal.

Nasties were younger and had more heat.

They laughed soooo hard 😂🤣

Because he looked like a lesbian

The whole point was they were silly, and it got great heat.

I am balding and triggered as fuck by that, Frankie

​@@bobbytate9907 6 years later, how's the hair?

@@TurkeysLeg Can we just say that my lifeline goes back to 1975, but my hairline now goes back to the War of Independence 😥

It is just his voice, some people have a monotone voice

Prove it

I agree with YOU 💯 percent

What?

He is, and people think it's a joke. True Depression is no joke.

at least he shows his face boomer

I agree with YOU 💯 percent He never seems to have a nice word to say about ANYONE Oh EXCEPT himself

ifitscool - Powers of Pain were pretty dead by the time of R&B. I started watching wrestling just after they separated. Demolition (especially Ax) were on their way out or down and mainly did the LOD feud.

Eww you mean the infected and filled with puss biceps guy??? I have no problem confusing the two of them.

Chest Pec Respect

Yeah, I remember Sean Michaels and Marty Jannetti wrestling Legion of Doom. Pretty hard to suspend your belief with a match like that.

rick rude was a jerk, period

Lanny Poffo was the genius!

And yet if you watch his shoots he doesn't have a bad thing to say about anyone.

Yes He does have bad words to say about everyone just look at this interview about GREG the HAMMER VALENTINE

How do you know that? Did you work with him

Same here. My buddy and I were big time wrestling fans. We always rooted for the heels. They were way more interesting than the baby faces. Teams like the Hart Foundation were way more fun to watch when they lived on the wrong side of the tracks.

They had a chain match and I think piper lost hearing in one ear.

Zbyscko was a damn good villian too.
