Paul Roma is the greatest wrestler in the history of the business. Just ask him he'll tell you
A guy like him needs to be in a legitimate sporting competition.
hes better than Dwayne
@@tonygarea7925 I mean it is obvious flair was.
Lol, best physique too ... better than Warrior, better than Ryback, better than the Warlord, better than Tom McGee, better than Bautista, better than Tony Atlas, lol.
@@Geraldo-ro9rc Flair, Hogan, Warrior, Bruno, Andre, were all Jealous of Roma, and they all tried to politic behind the scenes to get his spot. But due to Paul's legendary status in the buisiness; star power and drawing ability, and sway in the industry, he never felt threatend that those guys would get his spot, fame, or pay offs. When you acheived what Paul has in the buisiness, you call your own shots. The only reason he is not in the WWE HOF, is because Vince is jealous of Paul.
Paul Roma is Paul Roma. What you see is what you get-take it or leave it-straighforward. Jim Powers is a class guy, all around, from how he sounds here. It was great to hear him tell this story.
Both Powers n Roma should have been more popular individually and as a tag-team ..
great workers. no personality or mic skills
What everyone needs to understand is that they should've made it the ONE Horseman, and that Horseman should've been PAUL ROMA.
He's never been to my house

Paul Roma & Jim Powers where a Tag Team in WWF 3/11/1987- 7/18/1989
Jesse said one day to MacMahon on commentary look at these two young stallions and McMahon was like what and lightbulbs went off and there you go the young stallions were born
Paul and Jim as a tag team were initially slightly elevated stepping stone enhancement wrestlers for a good while before they scored the upset on national television. They would always lose to mid-card or upper-tier tag teams but would get a little more offense in than the standard issue jobber tag teams. You would occasionally see them on Prime Time Wrestling in a recorded house show match going against one of the other enhancement teams where they would get a competitive win in a longer match duration. This was before they were re-branded as Young Stallions.
They would win against the Conquistadors or The Shadows but lose against the Rougeau brothers or Bolsheviks
I love hearing about old school wrestling stories even about wrestlers I just heard about till now
The way that Hercules left the WWF was not good. He refused to sell for Sid, then he bitterly left the arena.
I heard that about Hercules. R.I.P. Ray Fernandez.😇
Best thing, funny too, about Jim Powers was in a hotel on the road one time, Owen Hart was on the phone playing a prank and while totally insulting another wrestler, calling them stupid, Owen told whomever he was talking to on the phone that his name was "Jim Powers." Some really pissed off wrestler(s) were coming down to the lobby looking for Jim Powers. Owen was sitting off to the side with Jericho and Guerrero just watching what was going to happen...hilarious. Bret Hart told that story on one of his interviews.
It was Hacksaw Jim Duggan. I just heard him tell the same story recently on a pod cast
June 1987 I watch them debut Westchester County New York
Tuesday , 7/18/1989 ( WWF ) Worcester,Ma: The Centrum ( WWF TV Taping )Powers of Pain ( The Barbarian & The Warlord ) defeated Paul Roma & Jim Powers ( Last Ever WWF Tag Match as Team )
Paul Roma & Jim Powers where a Tag Team 3/11/1987- 7/18/1989.
Wednesday ,3/11/1987 (WWF ) Columbus,Ohio: Ohio Center: The Hart Foundation ( Bret Hart & Jim Neidhart ) defeated Paul Roma & Jim Powers ( WWF Debut as Team ).
Jim neidhart?
Shouldn't the title or subject say "Young Stallions" not "Power and Glory"??
He talks about both teams but specifically how Hart Foundation had an issue losing to Power and Glory, not Young Stallions
@@TitleMatchWrestlingIt's a shame The Young Stallions didn't have a short run with The WWF titles being they were very athletic and with both PR & JP looking like $1million apiece👍💯
@@TitleMatchWrestlingIDK how over they were with the fans in general??
Back then there were just more established talent in the tag team ranks to even seriously consider the Young Stallions or even Power & Glory for putting the tag belts on them. You don't put your major titles on mid-card workers. Plus, at that time there were only one set of tag champs, not multiple brand champs like Smackdown, or Raw, ECW, WCW, etc. It got so half the non-jobbers had belts. Roma would have made a good hardcore champ. Would have been fun watching him get beat up all over an arena with a smile on his face. Roma would have also made an excellent Red Rooster.
Heel Young Stallions vs Rockers would have been great. I don't know why Powers thinks a townhouse is opulent. It's one step above an 800 sq ft apartment.
Perception is all where you come from in life.
At his age he should know most people aren't going to think they came from a different background because of their home.
@@darlinbood3991 A better home often means a better background
the two of them seem VERY different. Paul comes off as all ego and powers comes off far more humble.
Well Paul is the best wrestler of all time who never heard of Hulk Hogan, and even he will be the FIRST guy to tell you he is the biggest star of all time who is better than Hulk Hogan, a guy who he has never heard of
GOOD JOB
Wednesday ,3/11/1987 (WWF TV Taping # ) Columbus,Ohio: Ohio Center: The Hart Foundation ( Bret Hart & Jim Neidhart ) defeated Paul Roma & Jim Powers ( WWF Debut as Team ). They wrestle twice, probably doing a retake, messing up the first match?

Paul Roma is a legend in his own mind lol
No, he believed in himself and was pretty good. Marks like you take that personally for whatever reason.
@@CatsClaw44Marks like you take every comment personally for whatever reason.
Funny how he says that the plan was to make he and Roma tag champs and yet I don't remember them ever winning a match. I saw them live at the Spectrum against the Rougeaus and they lost that match. Hell, I saw Powers at a house show lose to the Red Demon of all people. Jim had a great look he just wasn't that great of a performer.
Fake news. Roma gathered all the promoters from the Territories and told them that him & Roma would be the next Briscos, LOD and Steiners rolled into one even though he never heard of those teams.
Roma reminds me of my doctor when I was a kid.
Why? Did he no sell all your symptoms?
@@mexmexican8619 lol not that I'm aware of. He just resembled him and had a similar voice. Funny thing is that his last name is Powers.
Underrated comment
How was Roma making such a good living?
I’ll go ged da papers, ged da papers….
The Centopani family has always had money.
Now we know why Flair was jealous of Roma.
Because Roma was better looking, in better shape, had a stable family life and financial life? Probably.
No, Flair was jealous of Roma because Roma has a bigger name in Wrestling and Paul isn't shy about telling you either
Paul sure is full of himself

Hey Jim, remember me, Bobby Bradley lol! Jimmy Snuka s best friend, you don't think I took great care of you and Paulie, when I could have simply beat the hell out of you both but I didn't, I made you shine lol the business lol what a work, what a joke it is. You should see Bobby now, I've never slept or look better ! P.s. let the bullshit go Jim, it's nothing but the devil, Vince.
So.who are you?bobby Bradley. What's your story?
Bob Bradley, aka the Battle Kat?? 😂
Superman Bob Bradley, Power lifter.
Isn't battle cat dead?
Kat who?
Jim seems like he's scared to say anything bad about Paul in this shoot. He follows up any remotely negative remark with an apology. Maybe afraid Paul would kick his ass at a convention back then lol.
Maybe he's too classy for you to understand.
