Tully Blanchard on Ric Flair 

Great interview.

Shawn Michaels said it best: “Tully Blanchard was the coolest bad guy ever.”

Tully mentioned the businessman in the airport flashing the 4 fingers. Today's wrestling has lost those fans

Tully was the blasting cap that made the Horsemen and he definitely was one of the greatest heels in the history of the business.

Tully was a fantastic wrestler and talker. I have no idea what some of you have been watching. He is also a true class act.

One of the most underrated wrestlers and heels EVER!

Tully Blanchard was one of the great bad guy wrestlers of all time. I loved watching him as a kid. Very smooth, very charismatic.

I could listen to Tully Blanchard talk all day...

I grew up watching NWA in the early 80's and I loved the 4 Horsemen! Ric, Arn, Tully, and Ole with J.J. Dillon, they were never better!

My high opinion of Tully has only improved over the years. He was one of the greatest heels ever in the business.

Flair was the leader of The Four Horsemen but Arn and Tully was the heart and soul of the group.

Awesome interview!! Great story by Tully going through o'Hare airport and a business man throwing up the four fingers. The Horesman are Legendary!

Tully still looks good, one of the smartest ring generals of all time. He didn’t have any weakness. I enjoyed you as the greatest world TV Champ and United States champ of all time.

Tully is class. Full stop. He is undoubtedly one of the greatest of all time.

Tully Blanchard is the greatest World Television Champion of all times

The "Tully strut" was one of my favorite things in wrestling back in the day. The sheer taunting nature of it was hilarious. I usually hate that type of behavior in real life, but in wrestling, it was perfect, especially if you were a Horseman.

Diamonds are forever, and so are the Horsemen

Thanks Hannibal, Tully is overshadowed! Discovered this guy on AEW, the horseman were before my time. I grew up on WWF! But man this guy had a physique!

Tully's 100% right about Philadelphia. I grew up in Philly and used to go to some of the house shows there as a kid and some fans would cheer them. Philly was definitely Horsemen town.

his daughter Tessa looks like a star in Impact wrestling. she looks like million bucks.

ONE OFTHE UDERRATED WRESTLERS OF ALL TIME................

Imagine if Gino Hernandez lived and Tully brought him in after Ole stepped away!

The best version of the Horseman were with Ric , Arn , Tully and Barry Windham. Those were the days

I remember my parents taking us to watch Southwest Championship Wrestling at the Memorial Colesium in Corpus Christi, Texas in the 70s. Tully Blanchard and Gino Hernandez were the best.

back in the mid to late 80s i was a huge fan of the 4 horsemen. i went to a few matches live and remember getting iced thrown at me for cheering them. even so ... tully was the one i HATED. he was the perfect heel. gotta admire and respect him.

Philly LOVED the Horsemen! When we went, dressed in suits for wrestling to root for the Horsemen, we always had a lot of people with us, just as we had a lot of people against us. It was ALWAYS fun.

Tully was always my favorite horseman.

Very seldom do people keep their voice with age,Nice. I swear I can’t tell the difference between him and pat militech. That is probably why I always felt like i knew Pat’s voice. He sounds like Blanchard!!! 100%

He was great as a heel. I totally despised him as a character. Reality he was probably a wonderful person in real life. But he was so good at selling it you couldn’t stand his wrestling persona. He was like the obnoxious sports star in your youth.

Tully was my favorite horseman in the 80s

Blanchard said it was cold when he started in Kansas City in December of 1983. He's right. It was 20F below with 70 below wind chills in Dec 83 in KC.

Tully's great, I love seeing him in AEW

Tully was my Favorite Horseman. Him, Dusty and Magnum TA has some epic matches.

Tully as well as the rest of the horsemen were favorite's when i was stationed in South Carolina. saw tgem several times

Tully's barenuckle bouts with Ronnie Garvin defined the greatness of the era.

TELLY AND ARN WILL ALWAYS BE THE TRUTH 🐴🐴🐴🐴

Tully was the man, he was awesome and physical, the sling shot was his finishing move, wow lots of time gone by.

Ric, Tully, Arn, Ole managed by JJ

Luv ya Mr Blanchard. Great performance and great dedication thank you for your time n commitment 👏 👍

Tully is humble here. There was a serious segment of the men wrestling fans and sporting fans alike that were real Horsemen Fanatics! It's was the best 👌

🐎🐎🐎🐎 4ever, yes Tully you were favorites of Philly PA!

As FLAIR WOULD SAY LOUD AND PROUD..." BRIGHT LIGHTS- BIG CITY- PRETTY LADIES KEEP THE CHAMPAGNE ON ICE...DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER...AND SO ARE THE HORSEMEN...WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Arn and Tully; I can't think of a better team; Magnum said Tully could blow anyone up

I was theee perfect age when this all went down.. I dunno what years it was. but somewhere between 1983-1988. so I was 11-16 years old....good times. **I remember watching GoldenGirls from 9-10pm on Saturday nights then WCW at 10-11 when Tully Was TV Champion/Four Hoursmen,,,, Then my Favorite was 11-12midnight Florida Wrestling with Kerry Von Erich,CHris Adams and I forget the rest. But I loooved the Florida version of WCW.. *The WWF was on fire. I bet I still have those "Pro Wrestling Illustrated" magazines from 1982-1987 when I collected em. proabably in my moms attic in a box with Thrasher Skate magazines..lol Thank You Tully Blanchard...

He and Arn had such great chemistry together as a tag team. IMO they were the driving force behind that group because they could put on great matches. If Vince were smart, he would bring Tully in part of the creative team to work with the newer talent.

Love ya, Tully, but I honestly think more people LOVED The 4 Horsemen. It will Always be Flair, Arn, Tully, and Barry for me.

Dude(s), you get the BEST interviews... GREAT channel, and I'm a proud subscriber 😎

'80's wrestling was the best. Well almost as good as the late 60's and early '70's. Today it's all show and no go.

Ric Flair might have been the heart of the 4-horsemen, but Tully Blanchard was the "SOUL" of the 4-horsemen...

PHILLY LOVED THE HORSEMEN

People appreciate how good and important to the success of the four horseman Tully was . At the time I couldn't understand him but after the Magnum TA matches he won me over . Had Magnum ever won the NWA title I would have rathered seeing Tully chasing the champ than Flair .

I grew up in the AWA,NWA era Tully, Flair,Arn and Ole Dimonds are forever and so are the 4-Horseman!

I wish the television title belt is still around

“Shoot em four fingers. That’s penetration.” -TB

Great quality fantastic interview

I loved the bad guys. Tully and Mr. Wonderful was hilarious

Tully Blanchard was/is that "Horseman" who was that fierce "Pitbull" who put the t in tenacious and tough.

As Tully eloquently expresses the truth- professional wrestlers of that era strive for great performance. They are consummate professionals and that is precisely why they have star power.

I think I’m going to trim down my beard exactly like this!

Always reminded me of Ray liota in goodfellas

He seems like a really nice guy.

The 'clarity', the ability to articulate, and thoughtful nature of 'shoots' from Tully Blanchard and Lanny Poffo really give credibility to their perspective and opinions. Great interview.

Tully Blanchard was the greatest wrestler in the 80s

In my opinion one of the greatest heat seekers ever in wrestling

TULLY BLACHARD WAS GREAT MEMBER OF FOUR HORSEMEN !!!

I was a 4 Horseman fan bigtime!

Tully and Gino Hernandez were a great tag team...

One of the greatest heels ever

I remember the slingshot suplex!!

In Philly we loved the Horsemen!

dream match Tully in his prime vs the hitman in his prime

Tully looks a lot like Gregg Popovich...

Wasn't a Tully fan growing up but looking back now at his promos and his in work matches with AA he is so underrated. Look up his match against Dan Spivey. Tully held his own and never backed down in almost a semi shoot . These guys will never be duplicated by todays bunch. Just not the same.

The older I get, the more I love Tully!!! $ Horsemen Rule!!!

That's right the Horsemen worked cause they were a great force for Evil. It was a miracle if you beat them. And you hated them more.

Ric Flair the GOAT

Tully was so good at what he did that I hated him through the magazines exclusively as I was in NJ and didn't have cable.

It was awesome back then

That's why I remember wrestling of the 80s The Four Horsemen that was nothing like it I should look forward to watching wrestling I don't know however people feel about that but this wrestling s*** today sucks and ain't nothing like how I was back in the 80s the 80s was the s*** especially for horse

Tully is right about us in the city of Philadelphia pa, we love the 4 horseman Philadelphia pa is and always will be Horseman country💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

Tully has aged well.

Tully was one of those heels that you love to hate

Tully was truly one of the best. I'm sorry for saying this. But without Tully the 4 horsemen suck.

good to see Tully again. he looks at lot like his dad joe Blanchard. I really remember him from southwest championship wrestling out of San Antonio Texas when i was a kid. donnie. S.A ,texas

Oh man! Tully Blanchard dosen't even resemble the guy I remembered from the Four Horsemen, or when Tully and Arn came to the WWF for a short while. I used to really like the guy (Slingshot suplex 4tw!) but if I passed him on the street I would never have recognized him. :(

A true crime that the Horsemen never battled the Von Erich's.

Those were great times for wrestling fans.

Tully was awesome as a heel. Tully made the 4 Horsemen great in the 80's. Without Tully, the Horsemen were a mess.

Tully you rock man! Hope to see ya again soon.

My dad said the 4 horseman were the greatest, he wasn't a big fan of Lugar, but he said Tully, Arn and Flair were top notch

TULLY AND THE HORSEMEN FUCKING KICKASS!!!!!

Four Horsemen had awesome chemistry

Tully is a smart dude

Lucky bastard got to be managed by the GORGEOUS Dark Journey! Damn...

Underrated Talker. Man he could pop shit!!!

Weird hearing him talk so slow with all the 'umm' and 'uhh'. Used to the fast talking promos.

80s Tully would kick today's Tully's ass just for using words like "neat" and "nifty".

Tully,arn and flair had the rare talent to carry everyone in their matches smoothly.. even though they were heels had a strong following..the horseman worked until Luger came in... after that... wasn't working anymore..but overall made the nwa credible

Blanchard legacy is safe with Tessa

I hated Tully when I was a kid in the 80's. But then at that time, I thought wrestling was real and he was really a bad bad man.
