@Douglas Paterson never heard Jones’ “actual” voice but Tony Norris (Ahmed Johnson) actually talks rather clearly when he’s not runninga promo. Talks with a lisp, but understandable...
"ahahahaha I fooled you Ernie Ladd, I fooled you! Yes, I got a thousand dollars up, but I, also, it's a light-out match, WITH a thousand dollars hahahahha. You thought you was slick, you thought you was smart, Ernie Ladd, but I got ya where I want ya now. Light out, Ernie Ladd, your light is going out in Roanoke, Virginia for a THOUSAND DOLLAR "
Made sense to me, Rufus just has an absurdly thick accent. Apparently he tricked Ladd into a match for $2,000 and will knock his lights out for that $2,000. And Ladd is stupid while Rufus is a clever man who tricked him. At least that's the gist of it... pretty basic but it works.
Basically. Ladd thought he conned Jones into a fight for $1000, but Jones goophered him into it being where both of them put up $1000 in a lights out match
Rufus R Jones was one cuss word away from being Dolemite
Fantastic. Used to watch Rufus on Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling back in the 1970's on Saturday.
Rufus R. Jones is the father of Slick.
You can tell he really had fun doing this promo, he seemed to be laughing the entire time while he was doing it.
Rufus...Shakespeare....who could tell the difference?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I live in Roanoke Virginia 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
I luv this guy!
I remember watching Rufus R Jones in my hometown alot back in the 1970's and 1980's. Those were the good'ol days.
He lived down y the street from me in Kcmo on Linwood Blvd in the 70s went to Milton Moore school with his Daughters...great memories.
@@jessekizine4334 Did he scream inaudible Promo's at you ? Please say yes ....
I can't stop laughing!!! For Ahhh thousand dollars
Rupus R Freight train was great.
Rufus was one of a kind. Miss the old school.
I'm from GA.. I understood perfectly 🤣
Freight train is throwing down jive
Now who can argue with that.
My dream promo off would be Rufus R Jones Vs. Andre The Giant
7 foot 4 ... 500 pound ... From Genoble France ....
Naw…Rufus vs Ahmed Johnson, with the winner facing Scott Steiner! 🤣
Schiavone spoke so fast that he's equally hard to understand.
Sounds like Yelawolf and Old Dirty Bastard on a rap song together! 😂😂
Think I understood Tony just a smidge better
If he made an album it would be called; “Rufus Jones! What the Hell is He Saying!!!”
Could you imagine an arguement between him & Ahmed Johnson? 😳
The ironic thing is, I've heard that both of them aren't using they natural voice.😒

Hell of a difference a generation makes.

You thought you was slick... no that's your son rufus lol yell
RUFUS R. JONES VS. ERNIE THE CAT LADD !
Toney stepped out the camera range so no one could see him holding in the laughs
The one person who gave this a 👎🏾 must’ve been Jones’ phonics teacher...
Do y’all really think the good folk of Roanoke, VA had trouble understanding him when this was done..?
Lol😂, say what?

Made sense to me, Rufus just has an absurdly thick accent.
Apparently he tricked Ladd into a match for $2,000 and will knock his lights out for that $2,000. And Ladd is stupid while Rufus is a clever man who tricked him.
At least that's the gist of it... pretty basic but it works.
Alyas Grey yeah, the gist is fine, but when the amount and the gimmick are unclear whilst you are trying to sell the match to people, it isn't great.
Basically. Ladd thought he conned Jones into a fight for $1000, but Jones goophered him into it being where both of them put up $1000 in a lights out match
Play this on
0.25 speed lol
He said "Lights out Ernie Ladd." Are you People deaf?
???

It was shortly after this he landed the spokesperson position for Hooked On Phonics.
