I'm currently caring for my 103 year old WWII veteran grandfather. It is a true honor and a privilege to help provide home hospice along with family support for such a great man. This is not a knock against the current generations because I am nearly 41 years old myself and among you, but my grandfather's generation was just built with a different mindset in an entirely different era of time. They simply don't build men like him anymore and it is a stark realization in real time. We have become distracted by the trivial and that is why a man like Harley Race wouldn't be able to work in today's wrestling format. That need for instant gratification is a shame because great things take time to develop and it only hurts the end product.
Your grandfather sounds like an incredible man, I’m sure when he was over in Europe or the Pacific he never thought he’d see 103. We are the same age & my grandfather is 90. He’s a former USMC & professional boxer. You’re absolutely correct the men of their day were far tougher & just a different breed. Respect to you for caring for your grandpa, I am sure he greatly appreciates it & you’ll be happy you spent this time with him.
God bless your grandfather and I thank him for his service. My grandfather was a Pearl Harbor survivor and was badly burned. 6 months later he reinlisted and was on board the USS Missouri when Japan surrendered
My father was a Korean war veteran and went into Carpentry after. He said nothing but when he got up, asses were whipped, those people won't come around again.
I remember seeing Harley in Eldon, Missouri close to his wrestling school around 2007 or so. Time and age had started to take their toll, but even so, he still had that air about him that said if you got close enough he could still grab you and break something important.
My favourite Harley Race story was that he was on the road with another wrestler, and they stopped at a diner to get something to eat. A guy came in with a gun and demanded everyone's wallets and watches, etc. Harley continues eating. The gunman demands Harley hand over his money. Harley without looking at the gunman said "Fuck Off." The gunman demanded again and Harley stood up, grabbed the gun before pulling out his own and said, "I said Fuck Off!!" The guy ran out so fast.
He also knocked a guy out for hitting a girl then ended up getting st@bbed by the man's friend, there's a newspaper article about it and he was like 20/21 when this happened. Also the story of him slapping Jumbo Tsuruta for suplexing Flair multiple times, Jumbo just accepted it and he wasn't no slouch as he was a Greco Roman Wrestling Olympian!
One of mine was the time with Ole out west somewhere, and of course they were drinking and speeding and some 'good citizen' thought he was going to pull Harley over and take him in as a citizens arrest .It didnt turn out too well for him.
No matter who you ask, the 80s and early 90s wrestlers all tell in their interviews that they had lots of respect for Race. Meaning they where all mortally afraid of him. Listening to those stories, I always get the impression they are talking about organized crime, not entertainment wrestling.
I was born in 86 and WWF used to be on channel 4 in England. My first memory ever was asking my dad to let me stay up to watch Hacksaw Jim Duggan V Yokozuna and me mum said no. My dad creeped in my room and woke me up to watch it. I always remember Yokozuna sitting on Duggans chest and I cried my eyes out. That's still my fave moment ever with my dad.
Wasn't on channel 4 until after 2000 when duggan and yoko were long gone. It aired the invasion ppv. Watched wwf and wcw from the first time since they aired in uk. Google it if you don't believe me
Never aired on channel 4 until post 2000, with the invasion ppv etc and maybe Heat. Hacksaw and yoko were long gone. Google it or chatgpt it etc if you don't believe me. Yoko and Hacksaw spot aired on Sky one.
Nothing but love for Taker and the podcast. Especially since he hooked me up with tickets to the same house show where Randy Orton was discovered backstage. I was 16 and I had injured my knee at work, and I was struggling since it was my first major injury. My mom dealt with one of Taker's business associates at work regularly and called in a favor.
Boy, George South is a name that just keeps coming up in the most unusual stories and competitors. I met him at a carnival in SC along with the R&R Express, Baby Doll, one of the Bushwackers and Jimmy Valiant (who was bullying my then 8-year-old kid to buy a $10 bandana. That was pretty obnoxious, actually). I wonder if he should get HOF consideration for influence in the business as everyone seems to know him and has nothing but kind words to say about him.
Matt, I left a mean comment before since you asked for one. But in all honesty, you're a thoughtful, humble, self aware, humorous host. Keep up the great work.
Harley will do ANYTHING to win a fight! He doesn't seem to feel pain!! Seen him miss a head butt on a table! The freakin table broke in half!! He was carried off unconscious bleeding but that's the way he thinks! The Undertaker says if you wrestle him you will be sore for a week!🤕
I think Jim Cornette answered this question the best. He was asked who would walk out of a bar fight - Haku, Dr Death, Bruiser Brody, or Harley? He said Doc could stretch anybody but Haku would eat your eyeball and Brody was a wildcard etc. When he’s done talking the interviewer says what about Harley? Cornette says “Harley would look around, assess the situation quickly, pull out his pistol, shoot the other 3 in the head, abd then calmly walk outside to smoke a cigarette. My mt Rushmore - Harley, Danny Hodge, Dick Slater, Haku
Personally I think Gunther is a throwback to the kind of wrestler that Harley race was honestly. So when I think of if Harley race would work today I kind of go back to Gunther. If Gunther works today why wouldn’t Harley race? They are both very similar in a few ways and sure they are different in others but Harley race knows how to get heat on himself and always puts on a great match so that’s kind of how I personally think about it.
An autograph signing event with the Bros of destruction got cancelled in 2018 in Waynesboro, VA.. I still haven’t met the undertaker. The urn would mean so much to me!
Hope I'm not late to this! I've been a huge Undertaker fan since the early 90s. More of a fan of him than guys like Hogan. I went to WrestleMania 24 and watched The Undertaker beat Edge for the World Heavyweight Championship. Also back in toe 90s, I saw the Undertaker clean house on the Nation of Domination at a house show in San Diego, I think in 1994 or 1995! I also got to meet Kane in San Diego at a meet & greet at Best Buy in 2005 before Taboo Tuesday, where he signed an old WWE magazine with the Brothers of Destruction holding sledgehammers on the cover! My birthday comes up on September 30th, and I would be so stoked to win the Urn, because I never got to meet The Undertaker while he was active, and this would be THE wrestling treasure for me!
@@dizzidazegaming Np. I was in middle/high school in the mid and late 90s so I remember that period a little more clearly. Plus it was the height of my fandom.
Talking about Harley, for not being a huge man, the stories of his hand strength are crazy, I remember hearing that the guys would be at several of the same hotels as the bodybuilders and they loved Harley, and whenever a new jacked kid was there they would send him to challenge Harley for a test of strength and Harley would have the young guy on his knees in no time
Arn Anderson was once asked who would win in a no-holds-barred brawl between Harley Race & Haku/Meng. He did not hesitate to answer that it's gonna be Haku. As much as he respected Harley, he had the give the nod to Haku. Haku just couldn't be hurt.
Too much work? I don't care enough? Is the exact reason this podcast is not bigger. If you are ok with the size of your channel then fine. If not, you should already know, that there is no such thing as to much work. You are the undertaker. Your channel should be at least 500,000 strong. You do that by having layers.
I think Taker is incorrect that fans wouldn't enjoy the slower older style. A decent example of that more methodical style imo in FTR. I just don't think alot of guys nowadays could work that style is the real issue.
Gunther in WWE has been a solid throwback style wrestler in and out of the ring, in his work and his promos. Bonus that he represents the classic German (or Russian) heel looking down on everything American, and talking about how weak everyone else is. Fritz Von Erich (originally), Baron Von Raschke, Ivan Koloff, etc., and now Gunther.
My foursome of legitimate badasses would be Danny Hodge, Haku, Harley Race and Tracy Smothers. Danny Hodge was a Golden Gloves Boxing Champion, Professional Boxer, Three time NCAA Champion and Olympic Silver Medalist. There was probably very few men on the planet that could have beaten him in the 50's-60's.
@@kevthegoat8774 Very cool. Danny Hodge was legendary for his toughness and he was JR's #1 choice as the toughest guy to ever lace up a pair of boots. JR said that Hodge was born was a mutation of having tendons twice as thick as a normal male, which gave his freakish strength, especially grip strength. I wonder if Lou Thesz or Bruno would make the cut? Back then, guys had to know how to shoot to survive. Now, you could add guys like Ken Shamrock, Don Frye, Dan Severn and Steve Blackman who were all legit MMA badasses.
@@davidwilliamdanielthomas9305 If not including legitimate MMA fighters like Brock Lesnar, Bobby Lashley, Kazushi Sakuraba, Dan Severn, Ken Shamrock, Kazuyuki Fujita etc who all competed in Pro Wrestlers then I think Bruno could definitely make top 10-15. The guy was insanely strong, conditioned and had enough amateur wrestling/shooting skills to hurt somebody.
@@kevthegoat8774 I agree, and guys like Bruno, Lou, Harley etc competed back in the territory days when they may have, for shoot, had to legitimately defend the belt against a promoter or worker who decided to go into business for themselves. Another guy to consider is Bob Backlund! Bob was insanely strong and conditioned and could legit stretch his opponents, if he felt like it.
The world today doesnt lend itself to producing another man like Harley Race but Im sure there are a lot of really tough, brash young guys who gives no f**ks today.
I was totally mislead by the title. Being about Harley Race, I thought it meant he'd go through 6 or 8 guys in a bar fight, and knock the shit out of every last one of them, then light up a smoke and order another beer.
Harley Race toughest man on G♡D's green Earth, just don't tell Haku/Meng that hahaha. 😂🤣 Who doesn't love a great Harley Race story. My top two fav wrastlers.. 🥇Undertaker 🥈Harley Race
As far as Harley being able to wrestle in modem era the matches are just different too u don’t see crazy hardcore matches or I quit matches to where u really had to show how tough u are the writer and cameras can get u over way more now than ever…with that being said, them old school guys like Harley n Haku, those the type of people u want as back up or just as a friend
The toughest of the Toughest. Andre is the mountain of any list. Andre tipped a car over with two guys in it. lol. I am really not sure who would be that one.
You forgot to add a fourth to that bar fight scenario. Andre in his prime. And still Andre said the only one he was ever afraid of was Haku. But Andre in his prime, not even sure Haku could take him.
I think with Race and Haku you would be looking at a bar in shambles and those two a bloody mess on the floor. Because I don't see any backing down in either of them. So they are fighting tell neither of them have enough left to keep going.

I don’t see the psychology in today’s wrestling as much as when I was a kid. There aren’t as many moves done, that set up other moves later. (To Taker’s point). There’s no emotional buy in as a fan without run ins occurring or top rope moves. Everything looks the same today; everyone has a super kick, everyone has a move that incorporates the turnbuckle, everyone has a move that incorporates the apron or the table. Only matches that have emotionally methodic buy-in has been Cody vs Roman, Punk Vs Drew and Anything Judgement day related. Not just the storylines but the moves in the ring. None of those have a lot of highflying unnecessarily placed in the match.
The fact that this Podcast isn't called "Deadman Talking," Is a real missed trick
Dude... That is PERFECT!!!
Might be a copyright thing.
@@dougmiller5608 Possibly, yeah. But I can't see WWE suing the Undertaker lmao.

If Harley Race, Haku, Barbarian & Barb's wife are the final 4 of a bar fight, she's walking out of that bar with 2 apologies & Barbarian by the ear! 😂
Lmfao YES!!!
Judy Bagwell could have taken them all.
And Barbarian's wife is cracking both Harley and Haku's skull with a cast iron skillet.
Fact SOME wrestlers wives at home are tougher than their husband's this goes for old school wrestlers who been married to the same women for YEARS

With Harley, Haku and Barbarian, I would think the guy to complete the legit badass foursome is Bad News Allen.

I don’t see the psychology in today’s wrestling as much as when I was a kid. There aren’t as many moves done, that set up other moves later. (To Taker’s point). There’s no emotional buy in as a fan without run ins occurring or top rope moves. Everything looks the same today; everyone has a super kick, everyone has a move that incorporates the turnbuckle, everyone has a move that incorporates the apron or the table. Only matches that have emotionally methodic buy-in has been Cody vs Roman, Punk Vs Drew and Anything Judgement day related. Not just the storylines but the moves in the ring. None of those have a lot of highflying unnecessarily placed in the match.
