Wrestling Legends Discuss Harley Race 

Harley was a friend of my grandparents and I'd see him every once in a while. I remember one time he was helping me with some homework and when my grandpa walked into the room he started laughing and said "what are you telling him"? Harley started laughing too and told me to erase whatever he told me to write down. As a small kid (5-10) Harley always made me feel like a tough guy. He'd tell me to twist his arm and he'd do a summersault or fall down. I didn't realize he was a legit legend until I was in my twenties and it makes me wish I could remember more about the time I spent around him. I don't know why he took a liking to me but he sure made me feel good about myself and we'd have a good time when he was around. RIP Legend

My husband & I had a portrait studio in Eldon, Mo. When Harley moved his wrestling school there ( WLW), He wanted us to photograph his wrestlers. So we did! We went to so many of the events...got to know him & BJ. They were fun, & kind, and so many memorable moments were made with them. Then when we moved away from Eldon we sort of lost touch. A lot of years passed...and I heard when BJ passed. But I just now learned that Harley passed. Just so sorry that time separates people. He was a soft spoken man...but you just knew he had the command of respect. Yet he was a gentle giant... I’ll miss him. Love you Harley Race!

I had the pleasure of calling Harley a friend later in his life. As tough as he was in the ring was as good a man he was outside

"You stole all of my finishes" That killed me, hahaha

Harley Race was so tough, he can still kick people’s ass even when he’s dead.

The business would be better if we had more Harley Races today. For wrestlers who complain about their schedule today, Try being Harley Race. Wrestling 300+ days as the NWA Champ, having to wrestle 2 times a day, wrestle a different match for different cities every night, carry an entire company on your back and travel from Atlanta to St. Louis to Tokyo. They wouldn’t survive it.

Thanks Hannibal. Your respect for Harley says a lot about your character. Respect is earned.

I just want to say thank you for all the work you do keeping the memory of the greats alive.

Thanks for the information and the stories from the legends. Harley Race was one of the best to ever do it. Rest in peace power and paradise Mr. Race

i never liked harley race - so he was a perfect heel, lol. all respect in the world for mr race. rest in peace

Everyone of these guys have so much love and respect, and fear, for Harley it amazes me. Man love at its best.

its almost impossible to hear what flair is saying exactly, but you know there is so much respect and admiration and the crowd is hanging on every word. amazing

love how a heinz ketchup ad randomly popped up haha

You can tell Lex really appreciated and respected Harley. Luger and Race together was a DREAM TEAM. Same with his and Big Van Vader

He was such a legend in and around the whole wrestling business, nobody could touch him 👊❤️

When Lex Luger of that era specifically had so much respect and love for Harley Race then you know Harley was the man. Lex Luger is a different guy nowadays and I'd guess some of the respect he grew for the business had much to do with having Harley around him.

Such a sad day when we lost Harley. RIP Champ

“You’re a professional wrestler now daddy” 😂😂😂😂😂

I never realized following wrestling since I was a kid how tough and capable Harley Race was. (such as Meng). To go through so much real life shit, as well as pro careers, is remarkable. All respect to those men, IN EVERY WAY. Which BTW is sorely lacking nowadays! 🙏

my ALL-TIME favorite - Hannibal, you're one of my favorites today, I hope that I can one day see you wrestle live - you're one of the few guys who could've been a star back when I grew-up watching pro wrestling ...

Harley Race was my all time favorite wrestler ever!

I really like Lex. Rooted against him all through my childhood and it hurt my heart when he became a Horseman. Seems like the most sincere, nicest guys in these interviews. Hope he stays well and I'm rooting for him now.

My favorite is Mick Foley’s story from Legends Roundtable & it involves some accountant telling Mick that WCW won’t cover his medical injury because he was busted open outside the ring. Harley walks in and tells this guy “It was a HEADBUTT…INSIDE THE RING” The poor guy goes “But Harley we got it on tape” Harley: “IT WAS A HEADBUTT…INSIDE THE RING!” Accountant: “….ok Mick we got you covered!”

43:44 “Who’s the star now?” That’ll stay with me forever 😂😂😂

My great grandfather knew Harley Races father. He didn't know Harley, but they grew up in the same part of rural Missouri

Harley Race....The true godfather of wrestling

Great collection of shoots..thank you Devon!! A real life Philo Beddoe!!!

I always liked Harley met him once great wrestler legend

I bought a DVD a year or so ago and I bought it because it was Billy Jack Haynes vs Harley Race in Portland Oregon 2 out of 3 falls it was Billy Jack Haynes best match One of Harleys best matches to R.I.P Harley Race

Harley Race was a legit badass, there other champions who may have won the belt numerous times but Harley Race was the hardest working champion, ever!!!

This compilation of shoot interviews is much more interesting than the shows that either AEW or NXT presented this week.

Harley Race vs Meng in a street fight

Harley Race ruled - what else could be said - he really ruled!

I asked Harley once, who he would be scared to get in the ring with. He replied Iron mike tyson

Harley Race was a legit badass.

Harley race was a rough guy. King of the vertical suplex. He would hold an opponent up forever then drop them right straight down on their head. One of my favorites along with dick the bruiser and bruiser Brody.

Seen Harley wrestle in Vancouver 1x back in the 1970s. He had that manly confidant look. His body was quite tall & very powerful looking. Think he was just passing thru the area as I think he just wrestled here 1x or very few times...possibly.

There are tough guys, and there is Harley Race, apart from Haku, one of the hardest men to ever grace a wrestling stage❤️ RIP

My experience as a wrestling fan began around 1985, so i dont remember Harley race. Looking back he was aa huge talent who. Could do incredible things in the ring.

Marty's impersonation of Harley is great! It's also the most 'normal' and sober he's sounded in years 😆

the respect of the crowd and Ric says it at the end RIP Mr. Race

Was 8 years old and my parents took me to starrcade,! And I pulled for Piper loudly,pulled for Harley quietly,..but..Harley was always the man!!!!!!!

Harley Race, the Greatest Pro Wrestler of All Time and The Greatest Pro Wrestler on God's Green Earth!

Billy Jack’s hair:🤣😂

"That was back when they were glass then"...

Billy Jack wow looks so different..

Marty Janetty should write a book of wrestling stories his clips on here are the best.

Crazy he mentions Yakima, WA the town I am sitting in lol

I didn't know Tony was a Pink Floyd fan.

Harley spent time in Puerto Rico in the 80's, Bad Dude.No one messed with him.

They don't make them like Harley Race anymore

Marty jannetty stays High

Didn’t have the story when the cops got him going over 100mph and he jumped out and cut a promo on the cop “ I’m Harley race 7 times world champion “ 🤣🤣🤣👍

I like the story about Mr Race when a guy pulled him over for speeding it was a citizens arrest wasn't a pig and Harley asked him 4 times you sure your not a pig the guy said no and Mr Race just fuckin nailed him fuckin awsome.

Oh Lex. "he did all this hand stuff with guys"

Billy Jack Haynes " They were hard ribs " having a gun pointed at the back of your head! Fuck that ! 😮

Billy Jacks hair is god damn amazing!

They put Harley with Vader for many reasons, and the teaching was a big part, but also to keep Vader in line because of the respect factor. Harley did a lot for Lex and tried to a lot for Lex. Billy Graham ended up having his respect factor go through the roof with NWA fans for doing a time limit draw, wish he could have seen what that did for him.

Whenever Hollywood has the sense to make a documentary about the (Rev) Gene Scott, Billy Jack Haynes should play the title role.

How much blow was Marty doing!

Best match I have ever seen was Harley vs Bob Backlund in a cage match from Madison Square Garden.

The Tony Atlas story had me dying!

You have to love Billy Jack

When did Jannetty turn into Boomhauer?

I'd pay to watch Harley anyday over any of the weak punks in AEW and WWE right now.

I guess I missed out on something when I was younger. Because I don't remember ever Feelin My "OaKs". (In the words of Tony.)

I don't know if Harley was the greatest NWA champion ever but he was the last of the Great NWA champions .

Harley Race and Neil Cassidy would have been friends

death comes to us all but i think Harley Race had the best chance of anyone to beat deaths ass

Marty Jannetty is hard to comprehend.

Billy Jack Haynes.....dude looks like Granny from Bugs Bunny Show.

Tony learned to never feel your oaks with Harley.

That's Moe Howard, not Billy Jack Haynes!

This man was the toughest guy in wrestling, ask Jerry Lawler 😂

Was their a sale at the wig shop?

Nice guy gave me autograph in the mail

Try tough guy, kick the ass of of any MMA fighter of today

now youre a professional wrestler, daddy

4:21 Moe from the 3 stooges called and he wants his hair back.

Billy Jack's hair though. lol

Dan Spivey is a terrifying man.

Marty trying out for AC⚡️DC.

I’m shocked in 2020 that there isn’t someone with a gimmick named Harley Racial Injustice

8:16 wtf lol🤣

Ever interview Dory Funk? He must be 80 now I'd assume.

Tony Atlaaaaas!!

Let's not forget that Race exposed the business by doing that wrestling secrets revealed (he was in shadow but nobody else had that white man's afro and gruff voice) exposè and nobody said or did anything about it. When Andre The Giant and Haku/Meng say you're a badass I'll take their word for it. Even when he managed Vader Race looked like he could kick your ass.

Marty is full of stories and fun to listen to. But he seems so fucked up on something but I do like him and he does tell the truth about things including bad things about himself he doesn't argue he owns up to it

Flair is great, but Harley Race is greater👊❤️

My thoughts are with Dan Spivey. He doesn't look well. This business sure takes it our of you

Jim is twizzlin

There was nothing fake or sports entertainment about Harley Race.

Maybe it's best Marty jenetty didn't make it big he looks the best out of them

Working overnights doing security finally pays off lol

I’ll go out on a limb I personally think that Harley in his prime could have taken Haku!

Junk yard dog ticklish 😂😂😂😂😂

I'm first

Do I detect a touch of scepticism in Hannibal concerning Harleys fighting ability ? Seems I do.

It hurts my ears listening to Marty talk

What language is Jannetti speaking? Could it be English? Never heard such a mush mouth before.
