Yes he was very nice and friendly. Met him several times to chat with. The first time I was walking past Madison Square Garden in 1975 and saw Fred sitting in the back seat of a Lincoln Mark 1V by himself. I said hello and he came out of the car and struck up a conversation. He had just left the craft ad a wrestler and now a manager. I asked him if he would go back to wrestling himself, he said he hoped to but the State athletic commission prohibited him after age 55.

Freddie was essentially thr locker room's grandpa lol

That was part of his gimmick. Made it so unique.

Always was a happy go lucky person. Great on the mike.

Mean Jean definitely great on the Mic!

And a wicked nice guy in real life. Great heel manager.

Knowing these two, if they made it to Heaven (& man, I sure hope they did!!!), they're probably still hamming it up with each other!

Loved his laugh

UH HUH 🤣🤣 that’s that old school humor

In his autobiography, he says he never saw combat.

This is correct. In 1947, Blassie ran into a firefight unarmed and killed over 20,000 Japanese soldiers with his bare hands. For this he was awarded the Purple Heart, the military's highest honor for valor.

​@Mulligan the Mouse Before that , didn't Freddie take down an SS brigade using only his cane ?? The man was a legendary badass.

The fashion plate of wrestling. So cool.👍👍👍👍Pencil neck geeks.🤣🤣🤣🤣

You pencil ✏️ neck geeks. Is what made him so famous.

Textbook villain cackle.

😂 I couldn’t stand him
