I met Tully when I was in prison. He came through with a traveling ministry. He took the time to talk to me one on one and give me some words of encouragement. He is really a good man
Boy are you a sucker falling for the old I found god crap. A leopard can't change his spots. Like always the villain has their fun and now that the partying is over they turned to religion to so called cover their ass
I hope you are doing well. I have heard some good things about Tully Blanchard's ministry and how he has spread the Gospel to help prisoners readjust to society and embrace the Word of Christ.
It was pretty cool when Tully would slap his opponent couple times in the face and then do his strut. Moments like that are memorable. Great character .
Tully was one of my favorites. Always seemed genuinely tough and bad ass without being gimmicky. If you read this stuff Tully, thanks for taking all those cuts and bruises.
Everyone, including myself, always yapped "Flair - Steamboat". And rightly so. However. Tully & Magnum were a DAMN close 2nd in the best NWA single matches. Classic. Absolute classic.
Flair vs. Steamboat didn't have the intensity, the hatred, the blood and guts that Tully vs. Magnum had for six solid months in '85. Flair and Steamboat had a trilogy of outstanding wrestling matches, some of the best ever, but it doesn't stack up to the feud Tully and Magnum had in sheer hatred and brutality. Flair vs. Steamboat is a close 2nd.
The reason their title is safe was because of Magnum motorcycle accident. if that never happened it would be a matter of time before he becomes world heavyweight champion
Definitely! From 1988-1989, in the Then-WWF, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan managed them. They had really gelled, though, years earlier, in the old NWA, as part of the 4 Horsemen. Then, in 1991, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan managed a certain "Nature Boy"-Ric Flair! Of the original 4 Horsemen, the only original Horseman that Bobby "The Brain" Heenan never had the privilege of managing, was Ole Anderson. With Ole Anderson being the way that he was back then, which is grumpy, and, when you really pushed him, very ill-tempered, I really don't think that Bobby "The Brain" Heenan would've wanted to manage him!
i remembering crying when he beat magnum for the us belt and nutting all over myself when magnum got it back I'm in the cage great times when wrestling still seemed real!!!!!!!!!!!
You know why Tully was great!! All the other horseman to some degree would get cheered by some portion of the audience. Tully was NEVER cheered!! He was a thorough heel to the end!
Absolutely. Babyfaces exist to be cheated out of what's rightfully theirs, and Tully's presence made sure they didn't get too far from heel status. He was the yuppie accountant who people thought was undeserving of the success he got, usually by nefarious means or a distracted ref. People loved seeing his ass get kicked, but not before 'subverting justice' and taking titles. He was the sour guy to Flair's ebullient bro persona. Balance.
My dad use to go to NWA matches back in the mid 80's, he always liked the Heels and Tully was his favorite wrestler. When he was in an arena he always purchased ring side, or as near ring side seats as he could get and he always cheered on Tully. Tully was the best at putting on a wild and totally entertaining show.
Yes, indeed. The Miz has a chance, but he's too goofy. You could sense how bitter and unlikeable Tully is, and that quality edges him over other contenders for that consideration.
Tully was a Professional in every meaning, great ring Technician, great speaker and a perfect heal! He made me believe it was real. Hoping for a horseman pack with Tully on wwe 2k25.
Tully Blanchard of The Four Horsemen had one of The Greatest and Very Best Finishing Maneuvers in The History of Professional Wrestling. And that is The Slingshot Suplex.
Admittedly,...I didn't "appreciate" Tully, back in the day. Perhaps it was because I was a pre-teen/teen at the time,...still in the days of KAYFABE TO THE MAX, and Tully was a heel. If I'm being completely honest, back THEN, I probably viewed Tully as being...."overrated". Obviously, this was NOT the case, and it was merely a "biased",..."misguided" opinion/view of an otherwise...."blind", young fan of wrestling. As a now-grown-man, I COMPLETELY understand/appreciate/realize just how *SUPER TALENTED* and INTEGRAL Tully was, not only as a singles wrestler, but even MORE SO to the 4 Horsemen, WCW/NWA, and Crockett promotions. You're a HELLUVA' talent, Tully, and a awesome person, PERIOD! God bless.
Actually, him being dismissed as 'not awesome enough' was part of what offended people when he met with success. He cheated, the ref gets distracted, or he gets counted out but the title doesn't change. All this leads to a big payoff down the road, Starcade or something. He did his job doing long running programs with both Dusty and Magnum, who specialized in chewing up their competition, being 'too awesome'.
too bad tully wasn't the wwf ic champion. he seemed like the perfect secondary title holder, he shuld have wrestled terry taylor at starrcade 87 for the unification of the tv titles
Tully and Arn were defending their part of the Horsemen Gold vs. the Road Warriors at Starcade '87. Why would Tully take a match with Terry Taylor instead? That doesn't make sense when your one half of the NWA World Tag Team Champions.
Magnum and Tully were a lot like the Rock vs HHH in a way. They were both wanting to be the number one guy. Back then Magnum seemed to be "the Anointed One" at least before his wreck brought all that tragically to an end. They were building him to be the future of the NWA and later on WCW and odds are he would've been had it not been for that wreck. We'd be comparing him with Brett Hart and Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair as one of the greats of all time today had it not been for that wreck and anyone that watched him back in the day knows it. But I guess you could say that Tully was wanting that spot as much as Magnum did? They really did beat the crap out of one another when they got together. There was that one shoot they did at the end of the program, Magnum was doing a promo, Baby Doll comes out and confronts him, he grabs her and starts making out with her, then Tully comes running in and jumps on Magnum, they are rolling around on the floor punching at one another as hard and fast as they can as the show is coming to an end and the credits are showing the music is playing and you can hear knuckle meeting skull with those thumps with every shot they took at one another. There was nothing fake about that lol! Then decades later they are sitting side by side doing an interview with Apter and one guy is saying "Yeah I really kicked the hell out of you!" and the other responds back "YEAH BUT I WON THE MATCH!!" lol. That rivalry has always been there rather it was over the spot on the card, belts, women or what ever and it was real. Just like the Rock and HHH those guys never were friends and never will be. They may be able to be civil but those guys were two young lions trying to become the leader of the pride and the top of the card as young bucks and always tried to out do one another.
I'll take it back to the beginning when Tully and Magnum T.A. started to hate each others guts. Tully was defending the NWA World TV Title on television vs. Don Kernodle. Magnum was the U.S. Champ, and doing commentary on the match. Tully was getting beat up really bad during the match, and it looked like Kernodle was going to win the belt, and the fans were going crazy. At the end, Kernodle was going up to the top rope to deliver the finish, but Baby Doll grabbed his leg and made him fall down. The referee saw it and DQ'd Tully for her interference. Magnum couldn't stand it and ran into the ring. Baby Doll was also in the ring and stood between Tully and Magnum, getting in Magnum's face. Tully staggered over and sucker punched Magnum in the face. They exchanged some blows, Tully got the upper hand, and slingshot Magnum off the top rope. Magnum went crashing to the canvas, and then Tully pounced on Magnum and delivered fist after fist into Magnum's skull, before Dusty finally came in to save the day. Magnum was left bloodied and beaten by Tully Blanchard in the ring, and that was the first time I had seen that done to Magnum, and I'm glad my favorite wrestler, Tully Blanchard, did the honors! That kicked off the best feud in 1985, and one of the best feuds ever in the NWA.
#TULLY BLANCHARD WAS A TRUE 🐴 4 LIFE AND ONE OF THE CREATORS THAT REALLY SAVED NWA WRESTLING BECAUSE OF THE I QUIT MATCH WITH MAGNUM TA THAT MATCH IS NOW BECOME HELL IN A CELL WHICH ON THIS SUNDAY NIGHT WILL BE BROCK LESNAR 🤠 VS ROMAN REIGNS ☝️ THE MATCH OF THE YEAR DURING THE PANDEMIC 😷👍
According to Cornette, Tully failed his last WWE drug test and Jim Herd found out about it and rescinded his offer to Tully. Flair and Cornette were both upset about it.
Does anyone know what he did for a living after wrestling ? and Isnt it nutts how he just disappeared over night yeah yeah i know the story but once that happened it was no more Tully and as a child that sucked but as an adult looking back that sucks lol he never wrestled again so so sad .
If Tully wouldn't have gotten fired from the WWF and got to go back to WCW, I think MAYBE he sneaks in a world title reign. If Flair still went to the WWF, Tully maybe could have snuck one in somehow. Before Luger, Sting, and Vader got the title. I don't know when in that timeframe though. My point is u have certain guys FOR SURE capable of being a great world champ. But it just wasn't in the cards in the NWA-WCW or the WWF for Tully. When the AWA was strong, Tully FOR SURE could have been a great world champ up there though. Their roster wasn't as deep EVEN THOUGH they still had a great roster in the mid 80's. Instead of putting the belt on a loose cannon like Hansen they couldn't trust, Tully could have beaten Martel in that spot. But then again to be frank, I think I would have RATHER BEEN in the NWA as US Champ INSTEAD of being the AWA World Champ! LOL JCP OVERALL was the best wrestling company on the planet at that time. WWF was the most successful and mainstream no doubt. But JCP and Mid South were the top two companies IN TERMS of what old school pro wrestling was all about in the mid 80's!
Blake Martin Can you blame the guy? It's my understanding that he bought a house next to his ex-wife and TA so he could be close to his kids. That's a stand up guy.
There is a manny fernandez interview somewhere on youtube discussing that tully beat her etc; not sure how true it was but that was his side of one part of the story. Tully wasn't a "good individual" apparantly
It's personal to be sure and of all people Fatty Manny has some balls to be talking shit about others too...that's fucking rich. Talk about his in ring career but why people seem to have to know the personal shit of wrestlers is a bit much.
Tully already had four kids with her. Tully had the woman first, and was the first to beat Magnum for the NWA U.S. Heavyweight Title, so that means Magnum had Tully's seconds all the way around.
Who wouldnt. Tully is still technically married to her even if they are divorced. One's got to be either be single or a widower in order to get married and have private sexual relations with. Magnum should of given her back to Tully long ago. Adultery is quite bad. Especially if one keeps doing it. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
one thing that to me gets old is when all this guys say I found god which to me means either they got conned or they are fakes and to me it's all bullshit all the the bible is a bunch of stories they took from all over and put some changes to them and added their hero to it but then they took Buddhism and stole so much from and added a fake hero who they proved never died on the cross so all these wrestlers are still doing what they did in the ring and that is put on a show and play a character and make money and hope the people believe it.
Joe, in the full cut of this interview, he talks about how he was the only wrestler he knew of to test positive for drugs who then got booted out and never re-signed by WWF. Then he talks about how God used what he thought was a bad thing for good. He certainly didn't come across as someone who was bitter about it, and hasn't faked it to some great advantage to himself. "They proved never died on the cross".....no, no one has "proved" that, neither "they" nor anyone else, nor can anyone even make a semi-rational claim as such. We have numerous 2000 year old books that say he did, and a number of ancient non-Christian historians who attest that he did. There are very few events from the ancient world for which we have as much evidence. Let go of your delusions.
Tully rewrote the book on being a Heel, I been watching a lot of old NWA 85-87 and Tully was the Heel of Heels
He was definitely one of the best.
Yep as a kid I didn't like Tully, LOL.
I met Tully when I was in prison. He came through with a traveling ministry. He took the time to talk to me one on one and give me some words of encouragement. He is really a good man

I just imagine Tessa Blanchard in school explaining her dad and stepdad used to beat each other up for a living no one can top that at career day.
😂🤣
Travis W......man,what!?They'd have shut the classroom down after that.Nobody could go behind that.
Must be fun for Tessa during the holidays 😉😉😉😉
One my favorite wrestlers of all time Tully Blanchard
God bless you Tully for being such an awesome warrior for our creator!
AMEN!!
This is totally remarkable. 36 years later this match is still well remembered by wrestling fans of all age groups!
Tully was one of my favorites. Always seemed genuinely tough and bad ass without being gimmicky. If you read this stuff Tully, thanks for taking all those cuts and bruises.

Tully looks great! Good to see our legends taking care of themselves!
Okay so for awkward interviews, check out Hannibal TV
Back When Wrestling Was Great!
Yes , true and best performance of my life time .
Thanks for the memories Tully and magnum
That ending though...
Magnum T.A. vs Tully Blanchard Starrcade 85 I Quit match is an all time classic it's number 2 on my all time list
The Shakespeare of cage matches! Really curious what your #1 is because that match was phenomenal! hahaha
Stephan Darnutzer Shakespeare of cage matches! Lol 😆 Truly, it was!
The reason their title is safe was because of Magnum motorcycle accident. if that never happened it would be a matter of time before he becomes world heavyweight champion
@@gregorymckinney666 it wasn't a motorcycle he was driving his Porsche lost control and wrapped it around a telephone pole!
Those 2 had such great matches because they were great wrestlers/entertainers. And really loved the business!
I bet Tully Blanchard in his mind saying. Why is this guy asking me this question about my ex and Magnum...
That was very cringe.
Because dude is a douche for that question
@@Southernguitar74 Very...Tully handled it extremely well.
In one interview, Tully said his wife had ran off with a lawyer. I don't know how many times he married though.
I believe twice. His 2nd wife is Tessa’s mother.
Tully is living proof that God offers redemption through him. He may have left wrestling prematurely, but God had bigger plans for him.
god offer redemption through Tully?
@@jodymicheallee check out his story since he left wrestling
@@bblackstock7 I'm familiar with it and it doesn't move me one bit. Glad his life is on track or whatever but his wrestling is all I care about
Hahaha oh man that was an awkward ending.
Well, that explains why Tessa has two fathers, haha.
Tully and Arn Anderson were a great tag team !
Definitely! From 1988-1989, in the Then-WWF, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan managed them. They had really gelled, though, years earlier, in the old NWA, as part of the 4 Horsemen. Then, in 1991, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan managed a certain "Nature Boy"-Ric Flair!

I'm in the cage great times when wrestling still seemed real!!!!!!!!!!!
That last question threw him
Goal accomplished Mr. Blanchard.
Tully saw that wrestling was wrecking his life. The Lord show him a better way.
Well either that or because he was blacklisted by the 2 viable promotions in the US.
Tully was an awesome heel. I hated him lol
You know why Tully was great!! All the other horseman to some degree would get cheered by some portion of the audience. Tully was NEVER cheered!! He was a thorough heel to the end!

Tully learned so much from his dad Joe. They were both legends in Texas wrestling.
That “I Quit” match was friggin’ EPIC!
I probably wouldn't have asked that last question. Tully played it cool but he got really uneasy.
It was a Blood Match between Tully and Magnum and that match change my thinking about wrestling being fake. That match was brutal.
he never once bad mouhs Magnum to this day.
Total professional through and through..
Tully and Magnum had some of the best matches you'll see. Those crowds were lit.
Tully was one of the all time great heels. Ever.

Dam Tully looks better in old age!
Tully Blanchard is the "father' of HBK character. Is unbelievable he didnt got the strap.

I never knew TA married Tully's ex life.

Brandy ''The Tweaker'' Ferguson
He became a Christian and now ministers to prisoners all over the country.
He became either a construction worker or carpenter, i forgot which one
He is with a traveling ministry that witnesses to convicts in prison. I actually met him and had a good conversation while I was locked up
That last question about Tully’s ex-wife marrying Magnum TA, was just fucking stupid.
I always liked Tully before and after the 4 Horsemen but hannibal why'd you have to bring up his ex with Magnum TA?
some may see this as a slight.
