htms character worked so well on-screen that people started to hate the man portraying him - now with the internet everyone realizes that htm is quite a decent guy
Honestly. At one point in time, I thought this was guy was just bitter and such. The more I have seen his interviews like this. I've become a fan. The guy tells the truth. The guy knows the business. It's too bad one of the other promotions haven't gave him a job behind the scenes. I think he has a lot to offer.
I think the "bitter" interviews might have been when he was stoned or drunk. He seems like a pretty decent guy here. In some of those other interviews, he's a total asshole.
RogerCobretti . I totally agree.
No one in WWE office likes him because he isin't a "Yes" man and tells it like it is...you want to survive in WWE as an office guy you have to be an ass kisser like Michael Hayes or Bruce Pritchard
Not a yes man at all, but doesn’t come off as super assertive either. And I get that from his stories, not somebody burying him. His only bargaining chip seemed to be “fine, I’ll leave”
@@johansmallberries9874 Leaving, instead of letting a slimy promoter, bury your gimmick, while paying pennies, isn't a bad thing lmao It's smart actually....
And just like that, a legend was born. 🎸🎤🎶
HTM was a great heel
parking lot of the edmonton field-house.... you and dan Kroffat... ladder match...not sure who won.... I was a mark.. yelled at you in the parking lot... You pretended to run it me... stopped and said" fuck off kid"..... best ever mark moment of my life! thankyou!
Those were the days !!!
"YOU DON'T LIKE ME? AFTER ALL I DID FOR Y'ALL! I KISSED A LOT OF UGLY BABIES WITH PUKE ON THEIR MOUTHS!!!!" my friends and I were laughing our asses off after that vote of confidence turn speech. after that, seeing him at 3 shows in the next 2 years, he got the most boos out of anyone. on 2 occasions when hulk hogan was on the card, his boos were louder then hulk's or anyone else's cheers. I always enjoyed that! good to see him doing well and looking good!
Thank you very much ladies and gentlemen, you're a beautiful audience thank you!!
I was lucky enough to se Wayne at the start of his career in Memphis, the Blond Bombers vs Lawler and Dundee in Tupelo was replayed on Memphis tv for years. He already cemented his place in wrestling history years before his epic WWF run. Still the greatest Intercontinental champion of all time.
My aunt named her vibrator Wayne Ferris.
Haha
Pretty intressting.very outspoken invidual:)
when i was kid i always prefer the heels.
Htm seems alot more like the heel type. I think he could definitely still make it today. Give him one of those sessions like Carlito had when he debuted.
Let me guess..... Someone is going to say "Ryback is legend!" Ha ha
His babyface days were bad in WWF not only because he was a natural heel, but because he had no finisher back then. The finisher was a flying fist off the top ropes, which was terrible. Thank goodness they came up with the "shake, rattle and roll" which was the perfect finisher for his gimmick!
rofl i remember the Jesse the Body thing
Hated him as a babyface, loved him as a heel.
HTM was a baby face?
I think that's a class way to do the turn ... bogus number, TV taping and Ventura tell him they hate you ... etc
Rich woman’s lover,& a poor girl’s dream was from Eddy Mansfield.
He didn't mention that the original story for Honky was that Hulk Hogan begged him to come "Back" to the WWF. Honky's promos incorporated this; then it was all abandoned when he debuted as a new guy with no Hogan connection.
Who Wouldn’t Want2️⃣Get2️⃣Paychecks Frum Both Da WWE & SNME?
Honky was a great heel.
His Elvis gimmick was awesome.
He was perfect for the WWF cartoon gimmicks in the 80's.
WHY HE LEAVE WWE IN THE PRIME OF HIS CAREER AND NEVER CAME BACK FOR HIS LAST RUN?
LUPE GARZA You'll get the stories on absolutely everything regarding his career in the months to come including answers to those questions.
He still had some gas in the tank but I wouldn’t say he was still in his prime. He mentioned Vince pushing him into commentary, then that not working out because Roddy Piper talking over the top of him. After WWF, not sure why he never caught on in WCW...or maybe he did and I’m forgetting?
@@MrVisde I believe he wasn't happy with how he was being used in WCW.
He said, "They set the ring truck on fire..." at 1:49. Who set what on fire??
+Matt O'Brien 10-1 the boys in Kanasas City. Theres a story I heard from Jim Ross about back at a conference he was at, during a break he went to the men's room and was in a stall. Three of the main promotors came in and JR knew the voices, he lifted his legs up, and heard them talking about McMahon. They talked about that SOB , JR knew who they meant and one said "We oughta just kill the son of a bitch" I think if the promotors AWA, NWA, WCCW, Flordia, Georgia, CWA put aside their egos and differences they could have kicked the WWEs ass
+Cavillier1970 Vince used to always say that the only thing that the other promoters could agree upon at there meetings, was the time for lunch.
Love this guy! Yeaaaaah!!!
Neat learning about the scene in Canada back in the glory days
I remember the whole write to Stamford with either a Yay or Nay
Honky Tonk Man was a huge fan of singer George Jones.
This is interesting. I figured that Vince envisioned a heel turn from Square One, when he first brought hockey talk man out.
But this notion of Vince actually expecting it to play out, is just disturbing.
Htm was a natural heel. Usually when you see a guy you can tell.
He almost lost the match lol
Great story bro
Of course Vince thinks in dollar amounts.
800 to 20 you mean 40 to 1 tomato tomoto
He was booed cause really that gimmick sucked. Remember he didn't have a Elvis character then, he wore some blue and purple stupid satin outfit.
the outfit with the suspenders! and he had no finishing move (just some lame punch off the top ropes).
@@TheRmm1976 ah ha IKR
The only gimmick I remember hating more than that (and the Red Rooster) was "the bully" Nick Busick. He didn't last long at all in the WWF and I remember reading afterwards in Pro Wrestling Illustrated that he was let go because he "didn't wrestle up to par". What exactly does that mean?
@@TheRmm1976 And the thing is, even when he became a "hotter" act his finisher was nothing to write home about.
@@danieljackson1272 Bastian Booger also wasn't too good. the fake Razor and Diesel. or the bird character that came off the egg.
the fact that he still wears his hair gimmick,..sad
only because you wish you could do it and can't, he's got more charisma in his hair tuft than your whole body has..#jealousy
He looks way worse with it down, like Kathy Bates or some shit. He’s wise to keep the pomp
Pretty much every retired wrestler seems to still have their gimmick going... These guys still make some appearance money, etc. and Honky was actually still wrestling when this was filmed.
Your been carrying a loser gimmick around since you came out of a giant black hole
