So, Tony Atlas was too chicken to testify, Sure aint how Tony tells it, Bucks story has the ring of truth to it.

What a boob. Hulk was a Champion in one territory so of course he can win often. But the NWA Champion has to go to territory to territory and defend the title. So what are you gonna do have a babyface champion go against the top babyface in the territory? That would be the sh*ts. What are you going to do have the babyface champion go against the top heel in that territory? Then the fans of that territory never see their babyface get the shot at the title. I understand what he is saying but the formula was a traveling heel champion for a reason.

For some strange reason I didn't appreciate this man when I was young. Now I realize what a jewel Buddy was. I did get to see him wrestle at least once. Too tall, too tan and too good looking! God bless you Mr Landel...

Great interview 🙌🏻

I love Tommy Rich, and he is feeling it during this interview haha.

Such a nice guy. Great manager!

So what do you call a man threatening to fight everyone that doesn’t do exactly what he wants? That’s a bully. Also I notice he likes to bring religion into everything all the while cursing every breath. This is the reason he didn’t last after the mid 90s. The old way of business was over. Now I’m not saying he wasn’t made that way from dealing with a business full of con men and hustlers, but other people came out the other side not acting like that. But I suppose if we look at other promoters like Vince, Crocket, Fritz, etc he’s about par for the course. A cartel of bastards haha

nice

Buddy Landel, bullied by a midget, or little person I believe is the currently accepted nomenclature

Great man and friend and always remember never forget. R.I.P. ❤ 🙏

I always liked SKandor Akbar, he was a great, real heel, I totally believed it. He even did a fireball or two🔥

That was like listening to a mad woman

Leonard Lake was a wrestler?

Eric loves him some Eric

reading about this guy in my Tim Hornbaker book

I was in Louisiana during the Oil Bust . It was near a depression . Things were horrible 19% unemployment

Vince J McMahon was a lot classier than his son .

Wrestling very much did break Antitrust laws . The NWA was a cabal

MOST OF THE BLACK WRESTLERS INCLUDING TONY ATLAS ALL SAID BILL WAS A RACIST USING THE N WORD TOWARD ALL BLACK WRESTLERS.

David was the star of the Von Erich family if all things were considered . He was the best in the ring , the best interview and understood the business better than any of his brothers. His death spelled doom for the for the promotion .

I had met Jimmy in public settings a few time . He never broke character yet was never rude . He was polite but kept things short . Probably to protect his gimmick . He was very dedicated . In learning about this era I have yet to hear from anyone that Jimmy Wehba was anything but a classy guy

I love his mid-Texas accent “ I started in Nineteen -Sixty Tew “ . Nothing weong with it but its distinct and you aren’t hearing regional accents like that anymore . I did think it slightly took away from his gimmick , though . Not as bad as horribly put on Arabic accent though . Maybe thats why he never affected one ?

Who is the host of this is it GARY Michael Capetta.

I watched Cowboy Bill Watts before he retired the first time I missed him in the ring

Wow

Buck Robely was everything Buddy says he is. And 💯 more.

I miss you my friend. RIP.

I'm not trying to hate but why was it okay for Buddy landel to wrestle The Invisible Man but when Kenny Omega did it all the old-timers hated on him

JP passed away Dec 30 2022.

RIP Naitch

Great interview, and I agree with what he was saying about nutrition and things like vit. C at the end.

Man sure liked to toot his own horn alot

St Louis was wrestling Mecca . The NWA had a strong presence in wrestling .

Why didn't you ask him more about his relationship with Baby Doll?

No wonder so many people dislike this guy . He is awful quiet lately . Hypocrite

Bill Watts was fixing WCW but the corporate world was not a good fit in wrestling 🤼‍♀️ . I think had they not gotten in his way and just allowed him to win the fans over WCW might still be around .

I remember Brian Blair , Buddy Landell , Marty Lunde and Jesse Barr as jobbers in Mid South . There was a lot of guys who paid dues in MidSouth before becoming top talent .

I thought the Flair -wannabe gimmick was great to open the door for him but I hoped he would become the first and only Buddy Landell .

Eric Embry got SUPER OVER . It was so strange to see

Wild West Wrestling was syndicated in my area but it was minor league .

Akbar was the NWA North American Champion when I first started watching wrestling .

I would have had him touch upon his feud with Danny Hodge . It was epic . They started as tag team partners . The question then was who was stronger ? Had Danny met his match ( He didn’t ) ?

Nick had all the tools to be a champion in any era in any organization he was one of the best🏆

So sorry he didn’t show up for the NWA Heavyweight-title…

WCCW was so much better and bigger than Mid-South
