Zeus talks about No Holds Barred to The Hannibal TV here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lZxhnbufvMmXhIk.html

Stan Hansen is one of the greatest ever. He is one of the few that made wrestling believable.

The real Stan Hansen is light years different from that wild character he played in the ring. He's a southern gentleman I real life, while his character in the ring is a beast!

Seriously, watching Stan Hansen matches in Japan from '81-'96 is like wrestling nirvana........To me, it's the best pro wrestling there is...Period.....From his ring entrance/song, to the nonstop aggression, the brutality, the excitement, the reality......One smiles and winces simultaneously throughout EVERY match.....The best in ring performer ever imo......And 180 degrees from the joke of a plastic corporate crapfest that is today's WWE........Thanks so much again Hannibal........I hope you know how awesome of a service you are doing with Stan interviews........SO awesome man.....

I love how the real Stan Hansen is this well-spoken, articulate gentleman. Such a contrast to the unhinged madman you’d see in the ring.

great guy. not bitter about anything or anyone - looks back at his career as one hell of a ride.

Man this guy seems like such a nice guy

This man is a living legend..the awesome Stan Hansen :-)

Stan is a true Texas gentleman and always will be, folks!

Stan Hansen is a real Gentleman. I watched him live at MSG back in 81 vs Bob Backlund for the Title in a Cage Match! Great match! Bob's one of my favorites and the match with Stan Hansen is one of my all time favorite Wrestling Matches!

This man was the scariest wrestler to me when I was a kid. I had never seen someone so terrifying with the spittle running down and dedication to violence

He held true to a verbal agreement. Think about that for a moment.

I never would have guessed that that is Stan the lariat Hanson he seems like just a chill laid-back kind a guy

I wish wrestling had more Stan Hanson's and Terry Gordy's.

Stan reminds me of myself a true gentleman but on the flip side get us mad we are your worst enemies. One of greatest performers of all time

Just like his biography he is well spoken, doesn't trash anyone and is exceptionally lucid given all of the hard hitting matches he had.

shit, Hansen could STILL play some good characters in movies.

Stan seems like a really good dude. Enjoy listening to him.

I ONLY saw Stan Hansen live @ MSG once against Gorilla Monsoon. BOTH were BIG men who could move about the Ring. I THINK it was around 1976-77. Stan Hansen was intimidating even without his promos. He sure made me believe that wrestling was real back then. During this interview, it SOUNDS like he regretted going to WCW instead of WWF with VKM. He doesn't bad-mouth Ole Anderson BUT I'm sure he would have had a better and more lucrative run in WWE.

He played the part and got his credit for doing so. I am personally pleased he did as he exudes a quality of care and compassion and honor.

The difference in Hogan's work in Japan is so much different from his work in North America...definitely more grappling going on.

thats a fantastic memory that Hansen has about No Holds Barred, the reaction his daughter had. Im sure he still ribs her about it. :)

I can't believe how soft spoken and articulate he is!

Hansen is one of my all time favs.. esp his all Japan stuff. Somewhere on KZfaq is slow motion footage of a match with Hansen and Kawada where they are just laying in the stiffest shots and it’s sick

Stan was and always will be one of the Very Best of ALL TIMES !!!!!!!!!!!

Stan was a beast in the ring and a humble guy out of it ........

a lot of respect for Stan sticking to his deal with Ole. A lot of guys in the business would have backed out for the big bucks.

Stan Hansen#Master of the Lariat

Stan was the best thing about No Holds Barred! Couldn't tell for one second that he wasn't a seasoned actor. Could've definitely went more into film and made a career!

old stan looks amazing for his age.

Take a shot every time he says "you know" and you will die by the end of his interview.

Stan became my favorite of all-time when I saw him for the first time on ESPN. After winning the title, during an interview, he came out with chew hanging out of his mouth and spewed out "I told you I was gonna take this belt" The way he said it caused me to laugh my ass off. He was such a character and he played it so well.. These interviews are so cool because we get to see the real person. Mr. Hansen is a well-spoken, very respectful and by sharing the part about his daughter telling him it will be okay and that's what he remembered about that big night tells me this: Stan loved his profession but when it came to family - wrestling was not even close.... My last word is: if Stan did not like Japan the way he did and he really lived those fans for some reason - and he was to stay with some outfit for 10 years or so - if he spent the first 3 years being that chew spitting wild ass cowboy out of control and then one night turned to a baby face - he could have been the most successful draw in history with being the Cowboy who saves us all from the Indians (heels) Imagine the Stan Hansen cowboy doll and all the other stuff that would have sold. He could have been larger than life and if you took a vote from kids 5 to 12 back in the 80s decade, they would have chosen a super hero cowboy over super ego Hulk Hogan.

Stan Hansen legit made everything he did look real

Stan Hansen terrified me as a kid.

This is the first time Ive ever seen Stan Hansen out of character. Unbelievable kind of.

I could listen to Stan Hansen talk all day. Completely different from hollering around with that cowbell. We need more cowbell! LOL.

Stan was another one that was just a really nice guy in person.

I saw Hansen win the AWA title from Martel, one of my fav memories.

Crazy that what we hear a lot … how much greater the production in the WWE is in comparison to any other

their no holds barred match in 1990 was fun to watch

i could sit and have beers and dinner with Hansen and hear wrestling tales for as long as he wanted to tell them.

I don't know much about Stans wrestling career other than the fact that he was extremely popular in Japan...but he's cool AF

Legitimate Badass 4 real dude Damn Stan you kicked some ass in your day man I watched YOU when I was younger AWA,AJPW ,NWA.....im a fan 4 life✌

Stan is from BORGER Texas he was married to mother’s niece. They have a son together and he looks just like him.

Stan Hansen is arguably the greatest wrestler to come out of Texas. The Funks, Von Erich Family or even Steve Austin can't light a candle to his in ring ability. He was a true definition of a wrestler.

Hansen had an amazing match with Hogan in Japan that may or may not be on YT. Very stiff with Hogan actually doing an early blade job, which he RARELY did back then. The match was very rugged and stiff which Hogan probably wasn't as used to as Hansen.

This guy made Tractor Trailers full of cash in Japan. A smart businessman.

He's still one of those guys you don't want to walk up behind because if you don't knock him out, he's going to kill you. Always loved him, even as a heel.

Stan Hansen, class act.

what a classy gentleman

Stan scarred the shit of me in the richmond,va...he picked up lex..like he was a piece paper an threw him into...ring post his body shake the floor ..two size bulls.

There is no wrestler today that would last. In the ring for so long and still bring it on so glad Stan Hansen was in,my error after him Vader and others to name a few drew the action to ring and keep us at the edge of our seats God bless the. Bigman from borger texas.tbe unsinkable battleship

I have a lot respect for him... but can you count how many "you know" he said?

Stan "The Lariat" Hansen was the f--king man👑💰🤘

"You know..."

ichiro hogan-san is still number 1 in japan brother and stan hansen, the western lariato, is NIBAN brother.

I love stan

"What have we got here, a teeny wanger!"

Stan Hanson in early 90s WCW was phenomenal and even wwf promos scared the shit out of you but if decided to stay the would have killed his career

no holds barred is one of those movies that's so bad, it's good. very entertaining.

I grew up watching Stan "The Man" I'm glad he never went to the WWF/WWW !!

One of the greatest. He is right thou, wwe does have a wonderful light show, too bad that's all they have now.

You know he says "You know" a lot

Such a sweet old man. You'd never know by looking at him that he was a Japanese MURDER MACHINE.

Never has a bad word to say about anybody. And if he does, you’re in trouble!

class act.

The Badman From Borger Texas

dude overstated hogan's height. he was never taller than 6'7", but he's down to about 6'3" now.

Stan Hansen would have been better in the program with Hogan after the movie

So different in his interviews compared to WCW.

You better be ready to go when you wrestled Hanson guy was fairly tireless

Seems like a doll. Nice gentlenan! Damn he played a bad guy!

Thank Christ he didn't go to WWF/WWE- he would have been Stan 'Candyman' Hansen ( a demented candy store owner who puts giant lollypops in the mouths of his defeated opponents) or some other idiotic gimmick that would have us cringing today.

Was he the wrestler in the bathroom scene in No Holds Barred?

ye know

Ya know ya know ya know

The look is half of it...Stan sadly telling the truth on that

for a man , whom in his day would beat the living tar outta you in the ring, man he seems like the sweetest dude!

This guy was a raging lunatic as a wrestler. Here he's a mellow family man

Stan, I adore you however I can’t forgive you’re being in that 90 minute debacle

I’d rather see big Stan Hansen than goofy hogan

stand up guy

"Ya know"

Hulk Hogan...you know....

y' know

As a little kid I only knew him from that movie

ya know?

KZfaq is targeting me you know,, it has terminated my channel for the 23rd time you know, KZfaq hates me you know, But I will not accept this injustice you know, 30 new channel have just been created you know. big F to KZfaq you know

Hogan is nowhere near 6-8 he is 6-2

I love Stan but I have to disagree with No Holds Barred being a good movie, that movie sucked.

What's that smell???? Dookie!! Dookie???

Hogan’s look wasn’t unique. He stole Superstar Billy Graham’s look.

Hogan a good show, but not a tuff guy.. a woosie

Hogan had unique steroid body look

Stan had the best line in the movie when he grabbed them two guys and goes look at them teenie weenies

Stan Hansen is the truth.....One of my favorite wrestlers growing up as a kid.

“Well if it ain’t the teeny weiners!”
