    Harley Race was in a Nursing Home that I worked for.I was his Driver for his doctor appointments.He ALWAYS Thanked me for my Kindness and NEVER did I hear him say a Bad Thing about No-Body.It was an HONOR to become his Friend.

      That’s funny because he lived with his girlfriend on the outskirts of Troy, MO.
      I met him a few times at his arena right next door to the plant I work at.
      He wasn’t in a nursing home and his girlfriend or his son, Leland, drove him everywhere.

    I saw Harley on TV for the first time in 1981 as a 7 year old ..by that point Harley was a seasoned veteran..looked past his prime compared to they younger guys...I could tell even as a kid that Harley was a tough customer. he just had something about him that he was not to be messed with inside or out of the ring

    I met Harley shortly before this interview happened ( 2014 event ) He was in a wheelchair at the time, yet every bit a man with a man's handshake. I often hear stories about Harley being tough, and let me just tell ya - I believe every story. #RIPHarley #Respect

    • @dr.floridamanphd

    Dory Funk Jr , Bruno Sammartino , and Verne Gagne were the three champions the year I was born but the first man I ever knew as the World Champion was Harley Race . He gave an aire of an intelligent shark .I remember thinking that no matter how phony some of the local talent may have seemed , Harley Race was dangerous . I was hooked .

  • @ryanmurphy2588
    @ryanmurphy2588 3 роки тому +1

    Harley Race in my view is both a class act and the Greatest Wrestler of All Time. I am biased tho, Harley Race and myself are both from Missouri. I believe that mainly because in my view he elevated both the NWA and Pro Wrestling when Pro Wrestling was way down in popularity (like today), and he elevated the NWA World Championship, and then gave rise to both Dusty Rhodes, and later Ric Flair and they elevated everything in Pro Wrestling from there. I know later Vince McMahon, Hulk Hogan, WWE and later the Attitude era explosion of Pro Wrestling popularity, but in my view it all started with Harley Race and his career with the NWA, and also later on for Harley in both the WWF at the time and AWA. He is truly a Legend. #RIPHarleyRace

    I heard on Ric Flair's recent podcast that Harley is in a nursing home now. Any word on how he is doing Devon? We met Harley at WM30 last year in New Orleans (completely by dumb luck surprisingly). He was very nice. Poor guy was in a wheelchair and looked like he was in a lot of pain. We met tons of superstars old and new that entire weekend, but Harley Race was the hardest one to not mark out in front of. I hope he is doing okay. ///

APPARENTLY AS THE STORIES GO , ALL THE TIME PEOPLE WOULD CALL HIM OUT IN PUBLIC AND CHALANGE HIM 2 REAL FIGHTS CLAIMING THAT WRESTLING WAS 100 PERCENT FAKE. HE HAD TO "PROTECT THE BUSSNIESS " AS N.W.A. WORLD CHAMPION AND BEAT THE HELL OUT OF MANY " TOUGH GUYS" WHO TRIED TO SHOW THERE ASS TO THE KING AND APPARENTLY HE WOULD BEAT THERE ASS AN STRETCH EM OUT REAL GOD.

      +John Eriksen (Hypersleep) He s a man of few words but he says a lot without needing a lot of words. What he does say is very meaningful and interesting. Also, Harley used to drink a lot and now I think he has either quit drinking completely or rarely drinks. If you were to see a Harley interview when he has a few drinks in him, I bet he would give longer, more detailed answers and probably be more entertaining. He is a man who has mellowed a lot with age. He's still tough man though - one you wouldn't want to anger. In his prime he was maybe the toughest man in all of wrestling. Flair says Harley was the toughest man he ever faced and Flair wrestled men such as Terry Funk, Dory Funk Jr, Jack Brisco, Hansen, Brody, Wahoo, Blackjack Mulligan, Kurt Angle, Goldberg, and Brock Lesnar.
