This is an example of what is missing in todays wrestling - real, authentic, personalities who could carry on interview and get in the grill of opposing wrestlers. Never knew we had it so good until it was gone. Two of the best at the game of all time Slick Ric Flair and the American Dream Dusty Rhodes!
The "original" Eagle belt and the AE title were the best of them all...right up there with the Big Gold Belt. TNA had their version of a Bird Belt , but it got trashed....typical Hogan / Bischoff dick move.
Had the pleasure of meeting The Plumber's Son yesterday. Grew up watching him with my dad. Good times. Being a Tampa native Dusty ALWAYS took time for kids and his fans. A true gentleman in the community.
Back in my day on a Saturday in California I would watch World Class Championship Wrestling mid Atlantic wrestling WCW WWF and I would sit in front of my TV and watch every one of them. It was so much better back then when I was innocent and naive to Wrestling and thought it was real unlike now when the "secrets" of wrestling are common knowledge.
@@funtimeswithtom4108i don't care so much about knowing the secrets, what sucks today is they just simply can't pull off a good story like they did in the territory days. the production is way too much shiny stuff and not enough substance.
:53 Flair: "awwwwwww.... what have we got here?" his mock surprise makes the promo. genius.!! Even David Crockett is smiling at it! nice to see "The Boogie Woogie Man" Jimmy Valliant and "The Raging Bull" Manny Fernandez in with the Rock n Roll Express , Baby Doll and Magnum TA. That's risky business, jack!
i always loved Ric Flair love him or hate him he was the greatest of all time he had class and charisma his promos were the best ive seen .Dusty Rhodes was another G.O.A.T. his promos were off the charts .i loved watching Jim Crockett promotions Saturday afternoons .
The best part is how nuts the crowd goes when Dusty comes out. Plus notice they don't make it a point to position themselves so the main camera gets all of them in picture? Back then they didn't care about all that, it was about getting the story across. To this day, the WWE still doesn't get it.
Kaneseb...Preach On...Preach On...Preach On my Friend...Preach On!!! I don't even watch this trash that's on WWE now...I probably could not even tell you who the wrestlers are... BUT I KNOW 1 THING FOR SURE...VINCE McMahon & TRIPLE H HAS RUN THE WWE IN THE GROUND SO BAD NOW...THEY'RE HAVING TO BRING RETIRED WRESTLERS BACK TO HELP SELL TICKETS & GET RATINGS BACK TO PAR!!!
@@kenmcgrady1749 yes I started watching wrestling in the 3 grade I miss that wrestling when you would catch a whole attitude if someone interrupted you while watching it now days you don't care but these days wrestling is for the younger generation just like when we started wrestling the older people said the same thing we say now
Tully was the ultimate heel. Had the smirk, had the attitude...I hated him back in those days. He's a lot different man now, and I respect what he does with his prison ministry. His shoot interviews are excellent. I saw a video of him getting ready for a legends show, and what he might not have anymore in wrestling ability, he made up for it with the same smug heel attitude. I had the same reaction watching him as I did back in the 80s. He plays the heel brilliantly. He got the reaction out of me in my 40s that he did when I was a kid. I don't think he could turn babyface in the ring. He's too entrenched as a bad guy.
Thank God for youtube and all of you nice fellas for posting these memories. Wrestling will never be the same again. As Y2J say, "NEVER E-E-E-E-E-VER!"
The syndicated shows we are never the same when they got rid of the interview area. This clip right here shows how much it played a major part in storylines developing
Ric always had a great answer for everything. With all the charismatic, great wrestlers there are today all of them are "light years away" from a guy that performed in the 80's. There will never be anyone that even comes close to this guy.
I'm in California. The National Wrestling Alliance was on one of those UHF channels only once a week. I Loved it. Today's wresting is missing a lot they had back then.
Tully ain't dead. Arn ain't dead. Flair ain't dead. Dillon ain't dead. Big Dust passed away, but I think everyone else on the screen is still alive in 2020. Even Morton and Gibson, Valiant, Fernandez, Magnum, Baby Doll..they're still alive and kicking.
LMAO no gimmicks? Dude, the Horsemen was a gimmick. Sure these guys were living the life, but everything they said they were doing was exaggerated to a degree, so yes it was a gimmick. Same thing with Dusty acting like a man of the people when he was earning x100 more money than the average American. Gimmicks.
I don't know,that's a good question.But I can tell ya from someone who has gone to live wrestling events,we would sit in the front row at the old civic center,& during tag team matches,the wrestlers that were not tagged in would jaw with the crowd,& some of the shit that came out of there mouths would make even truck drivers & drunks blush.No offense to truck drivers or to drunks,but those wrestlers could talk some shit.It was a great education for me.lol
@Paladin1441 You guessed right. Read Flair's book, these guys really did live the life. Party all night, bag a couple of hours of sleep, wrestle. then party all over again. Woooooooooo!
it costs a lot money to put one of us on television, so Dustin Rhodes,you just keep on dreaming, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Four Horsemen and Naitch, plain and simple the BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

The 2 best
Absolutely the 2 best
Exactly
i miss those days. absolutely right. these promos gone.
That “Big Goldie” belt is STILL unmatched. The greatest trophy in all of pro wrestling
NWA belt was better.
Flair had that belt made personally it is the nicest bill I’ve ever seen
The true World title
The "original" Eagle belt and the AE title were the best of them all...right up there with the Big Gold Belt. TNA had their version of a Bird Belt , but it got trashed....typical Hogan / Bischoff dick move.
Everyone agrees
Wrestling will never be like this again sadly. The internet and with the territory days gone, it's over. Thank goodness for UA-cam!
That is so true
I LOVED Saturday nights on the Superstation, 6:05p!😎👍
The internet is gone?
I don't know Judgment Day got the fans wanting to kill DomDom lol
@@bryanpeloquin3890 but do you know what 6:05 means.
The Dream and The Nature Boy were the "Bird & Magic" of wrestling. On a different level than everybody else
Before them, you and Buzz were lol.
This was when wrestling was worth watching! I miss those times.
INDEED!
So do I.
Wasnt so polished..... But had far more heart
Amen!!!!
Yep. Believable. Not this circus act nowadays
the 4 horseman greatest heel team ever
William B yes
William B. NWO
nWo is the best ever.
William B Rick Flair on The Broken Skull sessions talking about how this was the most electric time of his life...as he was crying was a great moment.
@@hollywood21639 Horsemen were anyone could be NWO . But only a few select could be a Horsemen
"It cost a lot of money to get one of us on television"....classic Flair.
There was only one man who could render Ric Flair speechless. Hail and farewell, Dusty.
On fucking point you're so right
"If you've got anything in that gut of yours besides butterflies".......brilliant.
All Dusty ever had in his gut was chips and pizza.
This is when wrestling was at it's greatest...Wooooooooooooooo !
Oveida Sinclair So tru baby
So trhe wooooooooo
This was wrestling at it's best
This is timeless stuff. RIP, Dusty!
That rec center crowd pops louder than anything WWE does today
Lol they didn’t have the internet and all the dirt sheets
WE LOVE YOU DUSTY Enjoy heaven, brother!!!
Two of my favorite belts: The National title and the TV title.
Yep
I like how they are cookie cutter belts.
Yep yep
Had the pleasure of meeting The Plumber's Son yesterday. Grew up watching him with my dad. Good times. Being a Tampa native Dusty ALWAYS took time for kids and his fans. A true gentleman in the community.
Back in the days when Wrestling came on 4 to 5 times on a Saturday
Big Time Wrestling
WCW
NWA
WWF (now WWE)
G.L.O.W.
Why not repeat them this new year.
And I watched them all. I couldn't wait for Saturday back them. Starting with Pacific Northwest Wrestling at 9am.
Back in my day on a Saturday in California I would watch
World Class Championship Wrestling
mid Atlantic wrestling
WCW
WWF
and I would sit in front of my TV and watch every one of them. It was so much better back then when I was innocent and naive to Wrestling and thought it was real unlike now when the "secrets" of wrestling are common knowledge.
@@funtimeswithtom4108i don't care so much about knowing the secrets, what sucks today is they just simply can't pull off a good story like they did in the territory days. the production is way too much shiny stuff and not enough substance.
Don't forget WWC, in Puerto Rico! Ch 47 Telemundo!
:53 Flair: "awwwwwww.... what have we got here?" his mock surprise makes the promo. genius.!! Even David Crockett is smiling at it! nice to see "The Boogie Woogie Man" Jimmy Valliant and "The Raging Bull" Manny Fernandez in with the Rock n Roll Express , Baby Doll and Magnum TA. That's risky business, jack!
smkelly1970...yep the booker has to have security nearby.
Dusty Rhodes and the risky business crew
I thought those were the Guerrero Brothers alongside Valiant
@@johnhawk1969 that was the Rock and Roll Express!
LEMME TELL YA SOMETHING STUD HAWSE 😂😂😂
Lol

You can't produce quality show's anymore. So many cry babies and twinkle toed wimps to deal with !
@@kenmcgrady1749 yes I started watching wrestling in the 3 grade I miss that wrestling when you would catch a whole attitude if someone interrupted you while watching it now days you don't care but these days wrestling is for the younger generation just like when we started wrestling the older people said the same thing we say now
"Everybody wants to know what's causing all of this" -Ric Flair
Did anyone notice it appeared as though Arn broke character and had a few laughs about what Dusty said that was bleeped out?
I still have no idea what Dusty said. must have been x-rated.
😂😂😂
Tully was the ultimate heel. Had the smirk, had the attitude...I hated him back in those days. He's a lot different man now, and I respect what he does with his prison ministry. His shoot interviews are excellent.

wr70beh Tully Blanchard was and always will be my wrestling hero, He was the ultimate bad ass and he was damn good at playing the villian
Dusty:
"Oh By Tha Way Tully"
"Babydoll Told me you had a Little Bitty Tiny Weeny daddy" 🤣😂🤣😂👍🏿👍🏿
So why they bleeped that one out?
It was the 80's on Public TV ...
Censorship kicked in.. 😂🤣
If I could relieve these moments in time....
It just didn't get any better than this. The Golden Age.
Always loved how the Horsemen carried their belts, like professionals.
Ric while listening to Dusty: Sell it Dream! Same taping that Ole came back
Don't know what Dusty said but he ABSOLUTELY DETROYED Ric's promo!
There's more talent in this one promo than in the entire WWE today
2nd you that.
Real men. Period.
Those were best times in wrestling, and the NWA is back and they've kept that 80's look and feel. NWA Powerrr for life!!!
Thank God for youtube and all of you nice fellas for posting these memories. Wrestling will never be the same again. As Y2J say, "NEVER E-E-E-E-E-VER!"
New drinking game: Watch classic NWA clips. Everytime a wrestler says "You know, Tony Schiavone..." or "You know, David Crockett..." take a shot.
you would get alchohal poisoning
@@germainejohnson7296 or when they said Daddy
That's funny
How bout “ Let me tell ya somethin”
"To be the Man, you gotta beat the Man"! Ric Flair.... The GOAT
Man, do I want that Gold Belt!
thx for posting ....after watching this I'm exhausted
RIP American Dream (Dusty Rhodes)
Dusty Rhodes wasnt gold dust.... Dustin Reynolds was gold dust.../is
MalcolmRandall in
MalcolmRandall Virgil Reynolds was a great man.
Legends never die.
What did she tell the American Dream about Tully?
About how small his man junk is
Keep in Mind Eric Bischoff was the one who fired Steve Austin saying he couldn't sell tickets not Ric Flair.
One of, if not, the first stables of professional wrestling that can talk and talk and walk the walk. Legendary...
Awesome. Those were the days! It was never the same for me once Tully left.
The syndicated shows we are never the same when they got rid of the interview area. This clip right here shows how much it played a major part in storylines developing
Wrestling just isn't the same nowadays 😢
dusty the only one that can talk slick like flair
Saturday's @ 2pm on Channel 17 in Philadelphia - World Wide Wrestling. Oh man what great memories.
Dusty brought the whole posse... TA, Hoot, Punky, Boogie, Bull and Baby Doll.
61 WTIC-TV in Hartford CT changed my wrestling life forever!!! Thank you to the powers that be
Ric always had a great answer for everything. With all the charismatic, great wrestlers there are today all of them are "light years away" from a guy that performed in the 80's. There will never be anyone that even comes close to this guy.

One of these promos is better than 1000 promos today
Boy I sure missed those days,I sure hope that wrestling becomes fun to watch again one of these days.
R.I.P. Tully Blanchard. You were one of the great ones.
Tully ain't dead. Arn ain't dead. Flair ain't dead. Dillon ain't dead. Big Dust passed away, but I think everyone else on the screen is still alive in 2020. Even Morton and Gibson, Valiant, Fernandez, Magnum, Baby Doll..they're still alive and kicking.
@@wr70beh jj is dead I think
Priceless the look on their faces lol - loved to watch wrestling back then, couldn't wait to watch it, now i can't wait to shut it off.
Love their sunglasses. Great stuff.
You have a very very valid point. I will revisit my list. We all agree that Heenan is the best manager ever, no?
I love watch rivalry between four horsemen vs dusty Rhodes and magnum ta
WWE, two minutes to get a point across. You don't need a whole 20 minute segment
Yes true and boring everyone talking about nothing at that
Back then that angle was called..Story telling to build up a match. Unfortunately WWE fans only have a 2 min attention span these days.
Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes have some good promos
Look at how Fantastic those Championship Belts look!
The best professional wrestling bar none. No gimmicks
R.I.P. Jim Crockett Jr. (1944-2021).
LMAO no gimmicks? Dude, the Horsemen was a gimmick. Sure these guys were living the life, but everything they said they were doing was exaggerated to a degree, so yes it was a gimmick. Same thing with Dusty acting like a man of the people when he was earning x100 more money than the average American. Gimmicks.
He left the toilet seat up
Arm told Ric to take his ass out there and fight and Ric didn't move an inch!
I just loved how the Horsemen always seem to float certain title amongst themselves--i.e. the TV title...and Ric always had that World title
The WrestleMania 40 Conference, this is the Storyline to Cody's Story!!
Bloodline Vs WWE Lockeroom
The NWA, it didn't get any better than this. Hold up th eFour Fingers for the Four Horsemen! whoooooooooooooooooooooooo!!
AWESOME!!!! That's when WRASSTLING!!! Like my grandmom pronounced it LOL!!! Was everything to young boys back then thanks for the memory!
CLASSIC!
Thank you! It took a mouth of watching promos to come up with the Best of the Best ever. I love your list. Only one question. Where is Snake and HBK?
Oh my God Four Horsemen FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
This is clip is priceless.
I don't know,that's a good question.But I can tell ya from someone who has gone to live wrestling events,we would sit in the front row at the old civic center,& during tag team matches,the wrestlers that were not tagged in would jaw with the crowd,& some of the shit that came out of there mouths would make even truck drivers & drunks blush.No offense to truck drivers or to drunks,but those wrestlers could talk some shit.It was a great education for me.lol
:36 "what's causin all this?" Great stuff!!!
Tear Dusty up , Horsemen !
I wanna know what Dusty said.....
I know me too baby doll walked away real quick after that
He saying he wants to fight the nature Boy Ric Flair
That's when they are being censored for every cuss word he said
This is EVOLUTION in the 70's - 80's. SUPER DOPE!!!!!!!!!!
Show's you how SIMILAR TRIPLE H is to RIC FLAIR. Maybe is trying to portray him .
What I always love about the old NWA was it had that high school tough guys are getting ready to fight feel about it.
Four Horsemen FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
"And Tully, Baby Doll told me bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep" Classic American Dream!
One of two of the only men who could render The Nature Boy silent. The other none other than Jay Lethal IMITATING Rick Flair. Woooooo
Who would have thought that Virgil Riley Runnels would book John Wayne Rhodes so strong?
@Paladin1441 You guessed right. Read Flair's book, these guys really did live the life. Party all night, bag a couple of hours of sleep, wrestle. then party all over again. Woooooooooo!
Maybe the only time the Horsemen were ever outnumbered
Finally the 4 horsemen are now in the hall of fame
Only the Horsemen could laugh off a challenge from Dusty and his tag-alongs!
oh and by the way, tully, baby doll told me beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep daddy
it costs a lot money to put one of us on television, so Dustin Rhodes,you just keep on dreaming, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Four Horsemen and Naitch, plain and simple the BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
At least Dusty brought backup.
Not many babyfaces think that far ahead
I got the horsemen number one all time, nothing beats the original!
LEMME TELL YA SHUMTIN' STUDHAUSHE!
Dusty had to bring a LOT of help just to confront the 3 best wrestlers in the business 😂
Are you serious child. Four Horseman are the pinnacle of tag teams the world over. DX pay tribute to them...
Thanx for sharing this clip! =)
I'm curious does anybody know what Babydoll told him about Tully? Lmao
Something about his manhood.
To quote Dusty, "Baby Doll said that your dick ain't shit, daddy!"
how dare those nobodies interrupt the 4 horsemen
Nobodies? Are you for real ? Lol
The first 3 lineups of the Four Horsemen were the best.
It's awesome period
Whats crazy is that I wonder if they knew how legendary they were going to become with these glory days
This was the night Ole returned.
And tully baby doll told me to tell you bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep lol
