Bill Watts was known as being pretty tough but Erik is exaggerating here for sure, he was never the strongest guy in the world lol. And he was scared to fight Scott Steiner so he threatened him with a pistol.
And I doubt very seriously that he gave an old lady brain damage
I mean, Bill, in his book, claims to have snatched a guy's eyeball during a fight and swallowed it! Lol. I think the apple didn't fall too far from the tree.
Dang he looks just like his dad. I thought Bill Watts had grown his hair out for a minute
stop it
I watched a very small elderly woman run up and stab Bill Watts in the back with a small penknife in the early 70s in Sarasota. He reacted instinctively, turned and grabbed her wrist and threw her up against the wall outside the heel's locker room. There was a near riot after she was taken away in an ambulance. My father was the promoter, and since I happened to be on my way to the concession stand, I saw the whole thing, I gave a deposition over the phone to the District Attorney. I was probably 12 at the time. He asked me several times if Watts was looking at the woman when he threw her. I said no. There were no charges pressed and I never heard of any follow up lawsuit. This particular woman had a record of similar incidents.
I don't know if this is the incident he's referring to or not and if some of the details have gotten changed over the years.
In any case, Watts couldn't have made his hair any shorter and he had no beard at the time.
I like Erik... he's such a humble dude..he caught way too much heat for nothing he had control over
His dad also charged the beaches of Normandy first and actually killed Hitler
I heard about that
@@brettbanta2100 I heard about that, he also stood firm against the mongols twice .
@@jesseb5076 I always thought it was the Huns, thanks for clarifying
Bill Watts was indeed a tough guy in a sport of tough guys back in those days.
Wow... I was about to say Bill Watts looks great for 84. And then I realized it was Erik. 😂
Blackjack Mulligan beat the snot out of Bill whenever he got the chance! 😂
well blackjack is a completely different animal, which still doesnt take away from the toughness of Bill Watts
No he didn't, you are getting him confused with Ole Anderson
@@kevthegoat8774 He definitely did that to Ole, but from interviews with Barry that Blackjack also had issues with Bill.
Any man who carries a guy to put fear in other men isn't tough.
Harley Race did the same thing
Anyone whose “famous” wether or not they’re tough should have security.
@@kevthegoat8774 Harley Race was a real badass though.
@@misterknightowlandco True, guys like Andre The Giant and Mike Tyson have had bodyguards before
@@kevthegoat8774 exactly and if you met either one in a room one on one you wouldn’t say anything but yes sir no sir lol but in crowds where people are riled, crazy, drunk and stupid… it only takes one guy at the right angle to stick you with something and you’re done. Anyone whose actually been in real fights will tell you the same thing. Your best self defense is your feet. You don’t know if that guy is ready to meet the lord, has 10 buddies waiting or is armed. This whole lone wolf male ego thing is just dumb and only keyboard warriors who watch too many 80’s movies believe it.
Telling people how bad ass his dad was... some how I don't think this is an unbiased take and he hero worshiped his old man.
I saw Bill Watts wrestle in Milwaukee in the 60's. Bill bled during the match and on his way to the locker room after the match some idiot wanted to blot his head to see if the blood was real. Bill picked the idiot up and tossed him into the crowd
!!
Poor Eric .. Still bullshitting for poppa ..
Fun fact about Bill Watts: His dad was from England
World’s strongest man? Jr grown and still believes dad tall tales
I went to Bixby high school with Eric watts a nice guy
Bill Watts was a bully, bottom line, who enabled Grizzly Smith in his predilections, "because he could book"...I like Erik, and respect his tenacity when he was in the business, but his old man is not cool in any way, shape, or form...
Take your SJW sensitivities out of here.
@@fjccommish So enabling a child predator is okay with you? Stay away from Chuck E. Cheese, perv!
@@fjccommish so keeping a p@edophile in employment and letting him carry out his crimes is what you call acceptable!? Do you have to sign a special book every week by any chance?
@@fjccommish Are you saying that anyone who is against abusing children is a SJW? Wow man, you have some issues to work through.
@@perceivedvelocity9914 Bill didn't abuse children.
It's strange that other wrestlers never list Bill Watts when they list the true tough guys in the business. I guess if you want to know how tough Bill was, you have to ask a Watts.
I've heard it from a few wrestlers in shoots but I can't recall from whom. I think it's more most of who we hear in these shoots are from the 80s and 90s. If there were more interviews from Bill's era you might get more of his name mentioned. You could be right. Just an alternate theory.
Dude you need to get another fellow Louisville legend on your show James E. Cornette.
lmao bs
Every clip I’ve seen of this guys, it just comes off that he’s constantly lying
He was a nepo baby before that term was a thing. I'm surprised he and "Rambo" (LOL) Greg Gagne aren't friends. LOL.
a kid proping up his dad as a "tough guy", i honestly have no interest in listening to mostly BS. just saying
You cared to comment
@@ozzymorrison8628 WTF does that have to do with making a comment, 🤡
@@ozzymorrison8628 exactly
Because we like James
We don't like kayfabed idiots
There’s a lot of bull shit coming out here
