He treated jobbers like a piece of garbage

Yes!

The positivity really comes across. Look at the comments on this video also, almost every single one is positive, just like George.

this dude is a legend

@@brickcitycomics2135 rare aint it, I almost want to bring the jaded miserable shitposting out of instinct but I can't. Best part is he isnt laying it on thick, like "Vince was recruiting me hard and I held out".. just "I was a jobber. Vince knew my name and treated me with dignity" and that is it. I wish modernity was more like this, a bygone age that started disappearing by the 60s and 70s, by the late 2000s not a trace remains

I was thinking the same thing

If you ever meet him in person, you can be confident that he's exactly the same. Really nice guy

Ty

I’m gonna look for it right now… this should be a series

He is a swell guy. One time In Macon Georgia he gave my grand dad a hand job in a k mart parking lot

I HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT HIM. I GO WAY BACK WITH THE VETERAN GEORGE SOUTH. HE WERE POPULAR IN HIS EARLY DAYS OF TERRITORY WRESTLING. THEY MADE HIM A CLASSIC JOBBER IN WRESTLING MAJOR LEAGUES LIKE THEY DID MANY OTHERS.

George is definitely 1 of the greatest. And just humble. Don't make them like that anymore

@@shanester8712 I remember seeing him in Dorton Arena many times. The place was packed.

He is the kind of guy that would fix a spam burger for you from out of his trunk for free.

@@solonfuller7478 he actually did that for me once

Cool, who were your opponents? 😀

Shut it curtain jerker oh by the way I worked the wwf and I'm the greatest ever

Did they pay you like stars?

@@Otingocni oh c'mon the dude is clearly lying that's why I made a joke about it don't feed their ego by asking them if they got paid like stars when I can tell you that they most certainly didn't they used to get between 50 to 150 dollars per jobber

@@wayneking9997 Yeah unfortunately it is difficult to convey sarcasm in text unless I explicitly stated sarcasm alert.

In a few weeks I'll be launching a pre order for a figure of George Let me know if you are interested in the details

Why don't you idolize him a little more?

That christian thing is a big show he puts on It's all an act

That’s awesome Rickey. Praise Jesus !!!

Except he is a liar.

The Brooklyn brawler to

George was a Jobber in WWF, WCW, NWA, AWA, AWF and SMW. The PWF, ASWA, and SCW are the promotions that made him a competitive champion.

He'll take your money and run with it. He lives in a shack in Winston Salem NC He claims he lives somewhere else. What a huge disappointment to meet him. He's .....strange 🤷

@@foxontherun7798 sounds like a jobber to me 👀

@@foxontherun7798 can you elaborate on this?

George is missing the point that Vince signed away all their talent. You can't have a wrestling territory if you don't have wrestlers.

@@gregbailey8253 "All their talent" is a clear exaggeration. All these territories lost a few stars no doubt, but you seem to forget that the Crocketts took a good number of them as well. Also, all these territories had the opportunity to bounce back, but didn't capitalize. Like the AWA for instance, they had a fantastic 1984 even though key guys (Hogan, Gene, etc) had quit to WWF or Crocketts and they got an ESPN deal in 85, yet Verne couldn't find a way to keep business striving. That's on him, not on Vince. If all these old greedy promoters would have been as good as they thought they were, then all these wrestlers wouldn't have jumped ship to go with Vince in the first place, they would have stayed in their respective territories and wouldn't have went "to New York". Again, that's the promoters' fault and not Vince's.

@@jonathanturbide2232 Vince wanted to put the territories out of business, you're naive if you believe otherwise. I think Vince himself would admit that he did. Vince took all of the top talent, and fans didn't want to pay the same to see what used to be undercard guys now on top when they could turn on their tv and see all of their favorite wrestlers in one place. If you're happy with where wrestling has ended up after Vince's takeover, then I'm sure you won't have a problem with how things went down. I think lack of competition makes for a stale product, and quite a few people agree with me. Vince has admitted to hating wrestling, so now we have sports entertainment. Storylines are pretty much nonexistent, and you have wrestlers trying to remember lines rather than using their own talent to tell a story. Finishing holds shouldn't even exist anymore, since they don't finish opponents, and now every wrestler, no matter how big or small, has pretty much the same moveset. And selling? You could hit someone with an axe and he would kick out on two. Once again, if you enjoy all this then there's nothing wrong with that as we all have our own likes and dislikes. I'm just not a fan of how things ended up.

He's oversimplifying it by quite a lot.

@@ELPRES1DENTE45 He's still right, though.

Agreed, he made the worst wrestlers look great

That's incredibly commendable. Not going for the full full time commitment of 300 days a year but still making a good living to just take some bumps for a few minutes. It's like people who make a career out of doing bit parts in TV shows, movies and commercials where they get paid without dealing with all of the A-list problems

Yeah🤣

🤣🤣🤣bwahaha. Funny

Yeah but where is the industry at now? Live wrestling is in the dumpster.

IMHO the best decade of Wrestling you talk about. Yes Attitude Era became the most popular era, to this day, but I think that "Golden Era" just showed what wrestling is all about even without that unfiltered and controversial content that happened in Attitude Era.

@@thepublichousebrandcom Don’t think that would have changed if the territories still existed. Plus, without Vince, you don’t get the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. Yeah the product isn’t as good as it used to be but it could still get back there

Yup

Agreed. I’ve never heard this man speak before, but I think he needs his own podcast! He knows how to tell a story!

Honestly respected this segment. Can tell he speaks his mind and is appreciative of that time. Coming up from what he did, can tell he was star struck.

@@mvjr7758 I agree 1000 percent. Some people work hard, and are appreciate what they have and know who they’re. Not everyone is an undertaker or Ric flair. I’d be honored too if all that happened and treasure those moments. Not everyone can even be a jobber. That’s like not being the main star of a sitcom. He blessed you’re in the show and what you have and they gave you anything at all. Great 👍 comeback post to mine. I concur with you.

Yeah. He loves the business.

George is the man. Check out our full interview series with him here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLOodrRh3LS8Z6s.html

@@TitleMatchWrestling Your link is to this same video clip.

@@kevinkelly1529 It's the full playlist. Look to the right of the video, you'll see all the interview clips

Wasn't youre time line

@@markolsen7010 Actually he is, but like I said I grew up in another territory. But yeah, he seems like a guy you'd want in your corner.

I always thought Fulton should have got more of a chance to rise above jobber status, his work was pretty good.

@@rickstalentedtongue910 I saw an article after his death that he was satisfied where he was. After he got out due to health issues, he began to train wrestlers.

God bless you!

Probably why he is still around.. still looks fresh and still happy.
