Mark Lewin is an unsung hero of Professional Wrestling!!!!! He drew money everywhere he went!!!!! As a child growing up in Miami, wrestling was syndicated. I’d watch Memphis, Mid Atlantic, World Class and of course Championship Wrestling from Florida where Mark Lewin was doing his thing with Kevin Sullivan Bob Roop and Sullivan‘s ministry of darkness you talk about classic Mark Lewin sure was…and very innovative!!!!!!!!!

Always love hearing stories about this man

This is awesome! The person interviewing is my new, favorite interviewer and Mark Lewin interviews are rare! Thank you for releasing this.

Wow. Thanks for posting this Mark Lewin interview. I'm guessing it's now one of the few available if not the only one -certainly the longest and most detailed.

I trained alongside Mark and Kevin at Athletes Fitness Center in Tampa back in the 1980s. Mark was a freaking BEAST. Very nice guy, and Kevin as well.

This is interview gold. I'm so glad that I came across this. Great interview.

"Maniac", The Purple Haze, Nark Lewin was one of those characters that was so convincing that you could easily imagine that he was really like his persona. Such a quiet, soft spoken and intelligent interview.

I wish every shoot interview would include a date of recording, so many dont, & I hate having to try to figure it out myself. Otherwise, thank you Highspots. I spend many hours watching your content.

Hey Mark , you took me out for lunch when i was 7 years old and got me drunk in Melbourne LOL

Mark looks great

Been waiting forever for this, thanks so much!

He was a true beast, a man amongst men!

Dude was amazing as the Maniac.

One of my childhood favorites. Mark has always been a fascinating person. He achieved so much. I enjoyed hearing from Mark you could talk for hours with Mark. I was actually surprised the interviewer didn’t talk more about Kevin Sullivan and his purple haze run, Mark seemed surprised to. It was talked about briefly but cmon the famous video where Sullivan called the Purple Haze from the ocean goes back to when I was a kid glued to the tv, Best wishes to Mark he looks great. Purple Haze👍

I have been trying to find the remaining footage of this interview but I couldn't find it. Thanks for posting.

Awesome to hear him talk about Gary Hart and The Great Maphisto....

Looks younger now than he did when he wrestled...lol. Great to see this legendary bad a$$ still around!!

Good interview,Mark was loved by all my family. Mid 60's Sydney Australia. There was one question the interviewer asked him why he had not returned to New York to wrestle. There was a match between him and Cowboy Bill Watts which had something to do with it. The New York State Athletic Commission gave Mark a life ban from wrestling in New York again.

He was a beast!!

Mark Lewin is 86 yr old.....lived a long long life....especially for a wrestler

I loved Lewin. A total badass…

Very interesting to see this interview. So much historical background. Mark was big in Australia too. It amazes me to see how well he looks for his age in this fairly recent interview. So true what he said regarding people feeling they thought he was from their town or city. I felt that in my home town of Melbourne Australia as a kid. Very popular down under!

I would have loved to see Mark team up with Mr. Wonderful (Paul Orndorff). When he was with Kevin Sullivan and Bob Roop that was an awesome time to watch wrestling. The old days were golden.

Mark is one of the true winners of the pro wrestling business!

One of my favs when he was a face in Detroit

Man this guy’s doing real well for his age. He’s practically outlived like more than half the guys that I used to be a big fan of back in the 80’s. What’s his secret, not doing steroids?

Mark was a tough son of a bitch.....dangerous dude 4 sure....

How does the Cow Palace come up in the discussion with nothing about Ray Stevens???

When talking about the New York scene, I'd love to of heard more about Monsoon, Bruno and guys like Killer Kowalski and some of his matches with them.

I was born and raised in Buffalo and remember my dad used to run in Delaware Park in the early 70s.

Sullivan was the wrestler who mentioned Lewis’ name for the first time. He told that Mark was quite a tough guy. I guess I have to believe him…

This man was built like a body builder and walked like a stalking leopard. I didn’t see him often but but on Florida tv

Has been my hero for a very long time and reme

Good grief...The Maniac still looks like he could get in the ring at time of interview. Wonder why we did not see more of him hanging around ..

Back in the day he looked like Flex Mentallo, but here he looks like Gary Hart. Hope we are all so lucky when we're his age.

Never seen a shoot interview with mark lewin before. He’s comes across like a mafia member 😆

Mark was renowned to be a huge advocate of psychedelics, predominately LSD. I believe he's tripping during this journey down memory lane, especially the workout he's giving that wad of gum. 😂

What's the date on this interview?

PURPLE HAZE !! LEGEND THE MANIAC MARK LEWIN IS THE MAN 2:41

A luntsman too. 😊

コメント欄は英語ばかり。また、ルーインのインタビューも翻訳の字幕がないので、話している意味が解らない😢

Can someone tell me who is actually interviewing mark?

Yeep! Yeep! Yeep!

Mr Mark lewin , what was it like to work with Kevin Sullivan

What year was this interview conducted? Wasn’t he born in 1937?

couldnt last 5 minutes with the gum chewing

This is amazing thanks for posting this

The greatest ASHKENAZI Wrestler in history!
