I was obsessed with NWA/WCW wrestling when I was 8-13 years old. They came to my hometown every couple of months, and we were always there. One time Black Bart was wrestling Sam Houston, and there was blood everywhere. They were using chairs, and at one point BB hit SH in the head with the bell. I was terrified; I 100% believed BB was about to kill him in the ring. I was crying; begging to leave. We didn’t, bc RNR Express was the main event. Anyway, for years that was one of a couple examples I used to “prove” to everyone wrestling was real. It was to me, and I can picture that match like it happened last night. Thanks for the amazing, often traumatic, memories.
BART REMINDS ME OF THE GOOD PEOPLE IN THE BUSINESS THAT GAVE MORE THAN THEY TOOK. AND WAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND WAS UNDER APPRECIATED. I LOVED WATCHING HIM GETTING BEAT UP ON TV. THANK YOU BB‼️
Don't know if I have commented on this post before, but it won't hurt to say it again: I love Bart's interviews. What a real and humble man. Thanks, Bart!
No one will ever believe me but black bart is my blood uncle thats my uncle rickie his wife is Lynda and his kids are josh and jocline my uncle used to wrestle grizzy bears all of it idk if you can see this but i love you uncle ricky It's sad to say but my uncle has now passed I love you to death Uncle Ricky you are one of my biggest role models in life I'll never forget the stories you used to tell and how much you were actually there when we were kids I never noticed it much growing up but now I I regret not telling you thank you for that and it hurts even more because as I became an adult I saw you less and less as the years went by I only ever saw you a couple more times I didn't even go to see you on your deathbed and now it's one of my biggest regrets I'll have to live with for the rest of my life but I am glad I got to see you one last time before the cancer fully took over I got to see you out in granbury fishing and talking with the rest of the family then one final time me and my mom and my brother got to hear your stories and hear your wonderful joyful contagious laugh I am glad that's my last memory with you seeing you smile and being happy
Keep little stuff like autograph photos & ECT. Anything Rick gives you take very good care of it like perfect condition. 1 day you understand & be so very glad you did.
I got Bart's autograph. I got it in February of '85 in Tarboro, NC at the high school. He was in the main event with Manny Fernandez. He had JJ Dillon with him the night. I got Manny's autograph as well.
*"Black Bart" and "Avalanche" Buzz Tyler had some classic matches. He and "Sam Houston", also, had a great fued. He and Ron Bass were a great team, as well.*
Black Bart is PRICELESS.. A ton of knowledge. He is one of the LEGENDS... Just an all around, down to earth person you would be GLAD to have as your friend.. I hope I am able to meet him one day...
15:05 when Bart says Dusty wanted him to get a hair cut and says it takes a long time to grow a beard. I thought Dusty was going to ask him to do a hair vs hair match when he complained about him having long hair. "your the one who told me grow it in the first place!"
Yeah I thought the same thing. If you had long hair for a long time, it makes no sense to shave it off unless it's a hair vs hair match. Why not sell some seats if you're gonna shave it anyway? Outlaw ron bass did it when he lost a hair match to beefcake on sat night main event
1986, George Wythe Highschool gymnasium, in Wytheville VA. Black Bart vs. Sam Houston. Black Bart was the Mid Atlantic States Heavyweight Champion 🏆 I'll never forget that match, I've always loved, and to this day, is my favorite wrestling belt of all time! Loved this shoot!
When he talks about Windham & Rotundo having to carrying around a trophy in Florida. The u.s. team title in CWF there was a trophy? (plus or instead of title belts?) I know the WCCW and JCP 6-man tag team titles were originally trophies.
Hate to rain of Bart's history, they never lost the Mid Atlantic tag team titles. Yes him and Bass broke up and feuded. But the title history ends after them since Dusty and Crockett were pushing to go national the titles were abandoned after their break up.
He didn't say they lost the mid-atlantic tag team belts. The belt he's talking about losing to Terry Taylor was the NWA WCW belt he held in 1985 immediately after him and Bass broke up. 1:34:00
They can't keep the dog from barking and the kid from crying? I mean, he's trying to do an interview it's pretty annoying throughout having to hear incessant barking.
I know the answer But in a parallel universe It is Braun Stroman and a Beefed Up Cody Rhodes With JJ the Brain Dillon...... Ps.. these shrooms are starting to kicc in😛
No way in hell World Class & the Von Erichs would be the end all/be all today on wrestling if this "superstation" deal was a yes. The Von Erichs could barely put together a coherent match, Fritz was stuck in the past worse than Jim Cornette is today, and the largest arena they ever filled was the Sportatorium.
You must be young. Literally everyone that was huge in WWF came from WCCW. The ultimate warrior got his start as the Dingo Warrior in WCCW. Vince initially wanted Kerry Von Erich to be next in line for the belt, but his accident changed that and the Ultimate Warrior took his spot because he looked like Kerry. The Von Erichs were so big that Rick Flair had no choice but to drop the belt to them, once. If you believe the only sell out shows they had was at the Sportatorium, then you're definitely too young to know what you're talking about. They filled football arenas back in the day. 50,000+ at Texas Stadium was a bit more than the Sportatorium could hold. The attendance was actually 50,123 on May 6th, 1984. To put that into perspective, Wrestlemania 1 didn't happen for another year on March 1985. It only pulled 19,121 people. 30,000 people less than what Fritz was getting, and fritz didn't have 1/10th the budget Vince McMahon did. So yes, had WCCW got the television contract, there'd be no Vince McMahon today.

Black Bart, falling in love with this guy. He has great stories and real affection for his fellow wrestlers and the sport in general. Thanks Bart!

Yeah right!
You must be very close to him to have to tell him you love him through a UA-cam channel...😶
I love Black Bart's authentic storytelling!!!
One of my favorites. Nice bruh miss you in the early 80's
"Glad Fritz chewed him out. Hitting Kevin with branding iron . That was just plain wrong."
Great. This is 1 interview worth watching all it. Guy can talk now.
I got Bart's autograph. I got it in February of '85 in Tarboro, NC at the high school. He was in the main event with Manny Fernandez. He had JJ Dillon with him the night. I got Manny's autograph as well.
Been waiting on this full shoot thanks so much
Thank you for this great video.
So many great stories told by a great story teller
*"Black Bart" and "Avalanche" Buzz Tyler had some classic matches. He and "Sam Houston", also, had a great fued. He and Ron Bass were a great team, as well.*
Real Talk!
Black Bart is PRICELESS.. A ton of knowledge. He is one of the LEGENDS... Just an all around, down to earth person you would be GLAD to have as your friend.. I hope I am able to meet him one day...
Awesome interview
Interesting shoot. Thank you.
Big fan!
Hey brother if your are reading this, I just want to let you know that I really enjoy your interviews.

Just think a few months ago, we had MACW from late 81 to 89 on the WWE Network. Damn you Vince and NBC
Best interview
The best i could listen all day to this guy!
Love this
wish you would have asked him about his time in the GWF
That's where I mostly know him from. I loved watching the GWF as a kid.
Love is laugh and his phrases- ''you silly sapsucker''. LOL
1986, George Wythe Highschool gymnasium, in Wytheville VA. Black Bart vs. Sam Houston. Black Bart was the Mid Atlantic States Heavyweight Champion 🏆 I'll never forget that match, I've always loved, and to this day, is my favorite wrestling belt of all time! Loved this shoot!

*Yea, if you look at the old videos from the CWF, the Zambuie Express carried around a trophy that represented the championship.*
This is good stuff 💯
Bart still sounds like he could work the ring. Good Lord, that branding iron!!
The best storyteller/ shooter around. What a cool dude.
Would of gave this a thumbs up, but that would of made 666 thumbs up...don't want that bad juju...lol
I heard the same Days Inn story told about Brian Blair substituted for Rick Rude?
Black Bart is so dam good, he interviews himself.
I'M A BLACK BART GUY !!!!
Not surprised him and Denton were buddies. I thought they were the same person.
Love the original content and he's hilarious. Too bad y'all have so many copy cats.
Black Bart is the most honest shooter since Manny Fernandez.
*🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣*
Manny is a liar.all of his stories are only true in his mind.he was never a seal.just a liar
@@richardjackson1858 sarcasm dude.
I get it,it just amazing how much crap that guy spews and expects people to buy it
All I get on black Bart are shoots I like see some his matches.
Tons available on youtube.
Black Bart is a dadgum legend, you silly sap-suckers!
I read that in a Festus Haggin (from the TV series Gunsmoke) voice, lol.
Hate to rain of Bart's history, they never lost the Mid Atlantic tag team titles. Yes him and Bass broke up and feuded. But the title history ends after them since Dusty and Crockett were pushing to go national the titles were abandoned after their break up.

Are you gonna reupload D'Lo Brown's shoot interview? It was really well done, TMW.
1:42:10 🤣
When was this actually recorded. He mentions he is 65 but wiki lists him as 72 years old and you list the recording date as 2020.
We recorded this in Feb 2020
Shame didn't ask about tenryu who trained him in Japan and is one of most important Japanese wrestlers ever
I was LEGIT SCARED OF B.B and R.B
Third Change of horesman Barry came in after he turned on lex and there was flair, Arn,Tully and Barry probably strongest four at anytime.
Magnum t.a. sounds like the Roman Reigns of his day
wacky tobacco's 😂🤣
I know it’s Ron bass, JJ Dillon and black Bart . Don’t know team name but Ron looks like Cody Rhodes .
*"The Long Riders"*
Is thair a fan club to wright bart dose anyone know
Bart? Got mustang parts? I got a car. Car won't start.
Hallelujah bart! Jesus is THE way, THE truth and THE life! I want to hear more stories when I meet you in Heaven brother!
They can't keep the dog from barking and the kid from crying? I mean, he's trying to do an interview it's pretty annoying throughout having to hear incessant barking.
I guess Crockett promotions didn't have a good dental plan 😂😂😂
Hello "BLACK BART!"
I know the answer But in a parallel universe It is Braun Stroman and a Beefed Up Cody Rhodes With JJ the Brain Dillon......
Ps.. these shrooms are starting to kicc in😛
AEW has a chance to be another WCW. IF THEY WOULD GO AGAINST RAW OR SMACKDOWN INSTEAD OF AGAINST NXT.
ying yang ying yang ying yang i said do what
I believe Black Bart is FOS
OMG
@@piikeaSanDiego True Story
fritz could never be vince mc mahon
Correct. He could never have sucked as bad as vince did.
10,000 miles a week lol.
Only seen Bart as jobber.Like to seen him on top.
He sad 8-10 thousand miles a week he must be flying the plane on the highway.
Some of it was flying. Nearly every old school shoot talks about how many miles were traveled and they all say 8k - 10k per week.
Christ. The state of him these days. Wow.
Bart seems like a great guy, but I think he was lied to about the tv series and Ric would have only went to Turner over Heard and not Bart
I live with black Bart my name is Javier
