A lot of young wrestlers nowadays could learn how to do promos like Ric Flair, Roddy Piper, and a host of others, that knew how to be articulate, while at the same time, letting you know that they still have the intensity to back up in the ring, what they say on the Mic! Wooooooooooo!!!!!
@@azellblount4681 Bockwinkle used to be Ric Flair's towel boy. Sometimes Ric would allow Nick to lace his boots for him just to give him something to brag about.
Two of the greatest ever I was able to watch them wrestle for an hour at memorial hall in Kansas City.. Thanks for the memories that's what made me a wrestling fan!
@@Johnny.1965 damn that would Starrcade 86 I do remember that but wasn’t able to go. I have so many great memories there. I saw Flair right race to a hour draw. I saw flair Vs Brody and a Brody Vs race match. Great stuff!
I talked to Harley race on the phone maybe 15 years ago ....he wanted me to lay some flooring for him in eldon mo.. but it was to far from my home . I got a good cussin😂 I just said ok ... ok then... well thanks for calling. He was my grandpa’s favorite wrestler so I was honored to be cussed a little
Harley Race was a Man's MAN. I saw Him and Lex Luger 1 night at a Mobile Station in Baltimore MD getting gas and snacks, Luger was Huge but Race was Like My Dad 100% Man.
@@paulgrieshop5024 I have heard good things about Him, So it appears by your information they were correct. Always nice to hear when Someone is built up that there was good reason to do so.
Race didn't have a bodybuilder's physique, never had. But the steel bar that was embedded inside his left forearm was what made him feared by many. He would ram his left forearm with such force that his opponent would have trouble gasping for air afterward.
The best testament to just how great they were, to me, is that they would wrestle a 60-minute match & it felt as though they only did 15 or 20 minutes. Time flies when you're having fun!
My Grandma loved Harley Race. She would say in her Swedish accent, "oooo det Harley Race, hees so mean." I took her to see the "raslin" match in Duluth Mn. I think it was Handsome Harley and Larry "Pretty Boy" Hennig against da Crusher and da Bruiser. Great fun! It was late 70's or early 80's.
@ Paul Grieshop Yes you a hundred percent correct, Harley Race was a favorite in Tampa in the 70's & 80's, if Harley was on the card at Fort Hormer Hestley Armory on Tuesday Night, you could pretty much have a sell out. I was Fortunate to be there, as a teenager. Great times. Harley Race " The greatest wrestler on God's green earth" R.I.P. Harley Race
I was just a kid when these 2 went at it and boy did they leave me with some awesome memories. Thank you for all of the wonderful memories. What you put your bodies through and being away from your own families just to entertain us fans. I say thank you so very much.
Many people have negative things to say about Flair. Some may be true, some false but to his credit, he is loyal to his friends and happy to see his fans. And when asked to help people in the business he is usually obliging as he is here. The guy helped make this industry grow and is highly entertaining. And he respects the other legends like Harley.
You can see Ric wants to cry so bad putting Harley over. Crazy as confident and “WOOOOO” as Ric portrays himself to be in real life,he’s such an emotional guy in real life. 🤎🙏🏾
Picking up were they left off. I saw them at Tampa stadium in 1980 the last tangle in Tampa which was a precursor of wrestlemania 5 years later see the video of it. It was great
I had the sincere pleasure of seeing both of you on separate occasions in the early 70's AT Joe Blanchards SOUTHWEST CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING WHILE TULLY WAS STILL AT CHURCHILL SAN ANTONIO, TX Ahh those were the days.
Oh, man...... I SOOO want to go! But I live in central Kansas and can't get off work. :( What a dream it would be to meet those two men. Even to just shake their hands....Two larger than life heroes mine.
two legends their names will never be forgotten. because in the end all we are is Dust in the Wind. I hope that you know Jesus Christ saw your spirit can go on living forever and maybe just maybe wrestling in heaven wrestling with that darn devil God bless both of you guys.
Im surprised its never been redone in a major angle in all these years. I could even see McMahon putting one out on Austin’s at the height of the attitude era
My favorite Harley Race story: He was pulled over for speeding. Turned out it was a citizen making a citizen's arrest. When Harley realized the guy wasn't a cop he punched him in the face, left him on the side of the road, and drove away.
I don't mean to speak ill of the dead, BUT I have watched Harley Race many many times on the mic, and in many matches. He was average at best on the mic, and his in ring skills were much the same. He was very slow and methodical, to the point of being boring.
There are no words to describe how great these two were in their prime!
Flair has a PhD in promos.

Absolutely
Ric Flair vs Ricky steamboat is the greatest matches ever The trilogy from 89
@@shoeplayisbad1
Ricky’s best match was against Macho man in 1987’s “Wrestlemania III” Pontiac, Michigan
@@dumisatonyjohnson8145 no
Two of the most legendary men to step in the ring.
The greatest wrestler on Gods Green Earth
Harley will always be my favorite NWA champion!!!
Rest In Peace Harley Race🙏♥️
Without Harley race there will be no Ric flair
2 class act wrestlers there will never be anyone like them ever again .
The two greatest wrestler's of all time...Ric Flair & Harley Race!
You gotta add Nick Bockwinkle to that list
@@azellblount4681 Bockwinkle used to be Ric Flair's towel boy. Sometimes Ric would allow Nick to lace his boots for him just to give him something to brag about.
In Bockwinkle's voice "Flair is just a mere ruffian who doesn't know much when I comes to wrestling "
😢
😊
Flair can cut a promo in his sleep and it’s still better than 99.9999% of the garbage today.
💯Brother
Two of my biggest heroes
It would be a huge honor to learn the sport of professional wrestling from 2 of the greatest wrestlers of all time.( Ric Flair and Harley Race)
Two of the greatest ever I was able to watch them wrestle for an hour at memorial hall in Kansas City.. Thanks for the memories that's what made me a wrestling fan!
With Harley Race, I'd rank high up there with Bruno Sammartino & Lou Thesz. With Ric Flair, not so much, but he's a great worker.
@@shikat2371 That’s your opinion but so many put Flair as the GOAT and so do I..
I remember seeing Harley race take on bulldog bob brown at memorial hall in k.c.k., they also had starcade 86' via closed circuit t.v. that night too.
@@Johnny.1965 damn that would Starrcade 86 I do remember that but wasn’t able to go. I have so many great memories there. I saw Flair right race to a hour draw. I saw flair Vs Brody and a Brody Vs race match. Great stuff!
Two out of the top 5 of all time right there!
Two greatest wrestler Harley race and ric flair wish got their autograph woooo

Harley," the greatest wrestler on Gods green earth"!!!

He was someone not to mess with but he had a very good side about him. He was loved in Tampa when he was working there
@@paulgrieshop5024

"My good friend since 1972," said Flair about Race.

I remember when we were happy for longer matches
Yeah now there has to be a high spot every 30 seconds or somebody starts a "boring" chant.
"Broadways"
Rip Harley you were the best same to nature boy woo,
Ric Flair is one of the all-time greatest wrestlers ever... but even he would agree that he is not the greatest wrestler in this video.
The top two of all time hands down.

Thank you both. Champ and Champ. I love you both. 1983 Starrcade was one of my favorites. I watched it on closed circuit.
Flair, Race, no doubt in the top 5 of ALL TIME

Two great wrestler consider both are legend
Two worldwide wrestling legends!
The 2 best world champions all time.
When Wrestling was Wrestling 💯💪
These two guys had more talent in their pinky than all wrestlers combined today.
@@hollywoodhh5646 WOW! Great reply!! 😎
Harley would either be the best friend you could have or would be the worst man you ever crossed!
Lone wolf trucker 99 Ky Harley liked Rick Stramboat
Man the stories and the times they probably talked about AFTER the careers , the friendships they developed and told to the Grand kids .
Ric Flair.....whhhhoooooooo..baby ....🤘.......

Harley and Dusty are getting ready to start their wrestling match in Heaven. RIP
Picking up were they left off. I saw them at Tampa stadium in 1980 the last tangle in Tampa which was a precursor of wrestlemania 5 years later see the video of it. It was great
When it came to mixing scientific manuevers with old fashioned rulebreaking, no one did it better than Harley Race.
Harley was the man,I seen him wrestle a tv taping in St Louis in 71 or 2.
In his promos he never needed to yell to get his point across.
Flair could cut a promo about a used napkin that would make you run laps around your house.
I had the sincere pleasure of seeing both of you on separate occasions in the early 70's AT Joe Blanchards SOUTHWEST CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING WHILE TULLY WAS STILL AT CHURCHILL SAN ANTONIO, TX Ahh those were the days.
Salute gentlemen. You made wrestling fun! I want your autographs!!!
...always loved when Harley came to town -fighting Flair and Steamboat
These Two had some epic Battles and they Tore the House down Baby
Mad Dog Harley Race is a one of a kind.
Rest in peace Mr Harley Race God Bless 🙏 to you and your family
awesome, thanks!
That’s cool Woo
Two of the best
Too Legends of Wrestling
High schools, beer halls, it didn't matter to them because they always put on a great show for the fans.
Rest in peace Harley race
Old School Baby, Whoooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111
R.I.P. Harley Race.
Ric loves to promote himself. But he also knows that without Harley Race there wouldn’t have ever been a Ric Flair. Hats off to both of them
Oh, man...... I SOOO want to go! But I live in central Kansas and can't get off work. :( What a dream it would be to meet those two men. Even to just shake their hands....Two larger than life heroes mine.
+Slug Jones At times like those you call in and go

Great Ole times
Race once appeared on the cover of the AVMA monthly magazine with a white poodle in his lap. Must have been animal friendly.
Wooooooo!!!!!!!💖💪🏿💯💥
Damn both Time and Gravity!
whatcha gonna do, huh?
Harley fking race
I think Flair startled Race when he yells at the start.
Race is sitting there like "Yeah Ric. Keep spitting those facts"
My MOMS BIRTHDAY
Best 👍
Is Harley still able to talk though? I ask only because he didn't talk in this video.
Ric Flair is looking like Bill Walton right here lol
From Madison square garden to a high school in the middle of NOWHERE
I remember the $25,000 bounty Harley put out on ric flair
It still was a great storyline!
Im surprised its never been redone in a major angle in all these years. I could even see McMahon putting one out on Austin’s at the height of the attitude era

Black brother who watched mr race many times he was one of the best that ever got in the Ring
この二人現役の頃に比べて、相方お年は、召していても、ハーリーレイスは・口も聞けないような感じで、フレアーよりも、歳はいっていますので、おとなしいように感じて、歳を感じます。それに比べ、リック・フレアーの方は、昔の王者時代と比べ、髪は無くなるぐらいになって、しかし、口の方は、相変わらず元気で何よりですね！二人とも長生きして欲しいと思っています。それでは。
