Tony, as far as your reputation for being slow, or not very smart.... You could have fooled me, sir. You seem incredibly smart, very articulate and you seem like a likeable guy. Great interview guys!
Tony Atlas is a good man and a stand up guy. I enjoyed this interview the way he shared his insight along with experience of his life and career he shared. I was very touched and sad about the murder of Bruiser Brody but very impressed with Tony Atlas being the only person to help him. I'm glad he went to the beach and stayed there all night after the stabbing along with everything else that went on that evening and never going back in his hotel room if not for the wrestler Vega he would have been murdered. God bless Mr. USA Tony Atlas
Myles Williams Right. Funny how idiots accused him of leaving without testifying in court not knowing the reason behind it. They tell it as if everyone else their was concerned and he was the only witness. Smfh
Met Tony just last fri at wrestlecon in new orleans. Stand up guy and nothing but respect for him. Mentioned his vid he put out not too long ago about him being homeless and said I'm glad he was able to push through it. Humble and genuine guy. Thanks for the autograph and the couple minutes to just chat brotha!
Great interview Mr. Atlas. Thanks for being a role model showing what humility, hard work, and perseverance can do. You and Rocky Johnson winning the tag team Championship is one of my favorite memories of pro wrestling and the pride I felt in that milestone stays with me to this day. Continued blessings to you and yours Champ.
I had to stop halfway for an appointment but I'm really looking forward to finishing up. I've never laughed so hard during an interview! That Andre impression was amazing!
What a humble man.. Seemed like he'd been through allot a REAL LEGEND.. Usually lose interest in interviews this long but both Atlas & the interviewer did really well.. Glad I saw it now very informative 👏🏾
I was born and raised in Roanoke, still live there to this day. Mr. Tony Atlas if i ever run into you one day i'd love to sit and just talk to you, you seem like a genuine good guy.
This is such an amazing interview. The part about Brody and his son had me tears. I lived in Puerto Rico for 5 years in the 90's and had a coversation with Victor Jovica in Cayey P.R. about me becoming a wrestler before I did. He was kind of a jerk to me. I walked away and pursued wrestling on my own and was successful in the Florida independent circuit. But upon meeting these guys, you can definitely sense the corruption and won't want to work a show for these guys. I know many people that were stabbed and even shot over wresting matches in those days in P.R.
as a little kid I met Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas in the Boston Gardens when they were the Champions I was at a concession stand and they were jogging down the hall with the belts on obviously late
Tony Atlas is a national treasure. He had ups and downs and tells it all with honesty and grace and, most importantly, he is entertaining as hell! God bless you Mr. Atlas!
Man...them words at the end kind of choked me up...we need to be more appreciative of what we have, and this great country we won the lottery on. I need to be... God bless Tony Atlas. God bless you all. God bless America.
Tony may not have had a great formal education and mispronounces some words but he is no dummy. You can hear his awareness, insight and common sense in just about every story.
Tony Atlas book is the craziest thing I've ever read i think it should've been called "Black Superman" I hope wwe or someone will do a 3 disc Tony Atlas documentary called "Black Superman"!
Such a great interview,Tony has so many hilarious stories( His foot fetish stories had me laughing so hard!")....When I get my retirement check at the end of this month, first thing I'm going to do is buy his book,I wish only the best for Tony as he was one of my favorite wrestlers in the 70s and hope he gets good residuals from the book and hopefully W.W.E makes a DVD on him.....As we say in Boston,Massachusetts,Tony is one "Hot Shit"!!
I have listened to hundreds of these and THIS IS THE BEST ONE OF ALL!!! Tony is so TRANSPARENT about himself the business, I mean everything. A very humble guy as well. Just from the old school where you just called it as it was no BS. I have TREMENDOUS RESPECT for this interview.
I could listen to Tony for days he is so humble and such a great story teller. What a memory to. That Andre the giant story getting blown while eating is just great.
Storytelling is a lost art and Mr. USA is amazing at it, and I believe every word. He is so genuine and pure-hearted, I can't think of a single negative thing to say about him.
I wasnt expecting this shoot to be so damn good! Very fascinating. Tony atlas is an amazing storyteller and an even more amazing human being. We really get to know him much better. I enjoyed all 100 minutes of this interview.
I would love to be a friend of Tony Atlas. He'd be a good guy to hang out with. So down to earth. The story about him being homeless and his soon to be wife. This old man cried, "just a little" ☺
I grew up watching him wrestle, it was very interesting to hear his journey and how the business of wrestling was back then. This was an awesome interview. Awesome interview Hannibal TV, great Job.
Oh 1 More thing. If heard a interview with Tony from way back in 1991, his story has not changed at ALL. 100% word for word identical. Which for me indicates he is telling the truth.
I like people that are honest and regret their mistakes and work themself out of their problems. Tony is a great Person and i wish him only the best. Great Interview with an interesting Story!
Woah, for a man who says himself he ain't too bright, he said a lot of great things. His thoughts on the N-word are smarter than the average person out there.
Being asked not to say a racial slur which offends millions of your own countrymen is not equivalent to legally not being able to use a restaurant in your own country because of your skin colour. Tony was way off on that one but it was a great interview besides that.
@@dantheman4838 it doesn't bother Tony because he doesn't have an inferiority complex . He's a man who knows who and what he is and he has enough self worth that he doesn't let a word affect him . That's real pride .

NacheMan, it was all a part of the wrestling act. The WWF are all actors, don't be so naive.
CASTDOWNSATAN Well then for an actor he did quite a good job convincing people

That "lady", his wife is an angel. That's what being human is about. Pure goose bumps.
I HAD TO PAUSE THE TAPE TO WRITE HOW HAPPY I WAS TO HEAR THAT! LIKE THAT U2 SONG 'GRACE': GOD CAN "MAKE BEAUTY OUT OF UGLY THINGS"!
@@southsideman4891 u2 gave free albums & people deleted it. In short : U2 sucks
Tony is lying about how they met. His wife’s daughter confirmed it.
Met Tony just last fri at wrestlecon in new orleans. Stand up guy and nothing but respect for him. Mentioned his vid he put out not too long ago about him being homeless and said I'm glad he was able to push through it. Humble and genuine guy. Thanks for the autograph and the couple minutes to just chat brotha!
i have nothing but huge respect for Tony Atlas and i love this shoot interview

I love this guy what an amazing career he had
tony atlas is a great person wwf wwe should take care off him wrestlers need a union
That's good.

This is one of the best interviews i've ever seen. Atlas has a heart of gold. Much respect to this brotha.
He does. God got His hand on him, it is obvious. God bless him and his family in Jesus' name.
Tony's fkn awesome.
Wrestling fan or not this was one fascinating and entertaining interview.
So agree
Tony isn't very educated but god damn he's articulate and can tell compelling stories.
AND THATS ALL THAT MATTERS
Great interview Mr. Atlas. Thanks for being a role model showing what humility, hard work, and perseverance can do. You and Rocky Johnson winning the tag team Championship is one of my favorite memories of pro wrestling and the pride I felt in that milestone stays with me to this day. Continued blessings to you and yours Champ.
Tony definitely is an outstanding role model. He's one of the very few wrestlers who you could label a role model.
Hannibal is on a roll! Best shoots on youtube. Another great one here.

by far the most honest interviewee of them all - what a humble sweet great human.
What a humble man.. Seemed like he'd been through allot a REAL LEGEND.. Usually lose interest in interviews this long but both Atlas & the interviewer did really well.. Glad I saw it now very informative 👏🏾
100%! To the last word
BIG SMILE ON MY FACE WHEN HE SAID THEY WERE MARRIED 40 YEARS!!!

I was born and raised in Roanoke, still live there to this day. Mr. Tony Atlas if i ever run into you one day i'd love to sit and just talk to you, you seem like a genuine good guy.

One of the best shoot interviews I've ever heard. Funny as Hell!

I grew up watching tony with my grandfather... top 5 favorite wrestler for me. I enjoy watching his interviews now
I know Harley Race
I know Harley Race

This is one of the best interviews I have ever seen.
I find him 100% honest and hope he is doing well.
Nobody tells better old wrestling stories than Tony Atlas! Jim Cornette is #2 to me!
31:42
Good shoot, glad to see Mr. USA still doing his thing!
MUCH LOVE TO TONY.... bless him
What a legend. Big respect for him
What a great person Tony Atlas is. He was mostly before my time, but I remember him as Saba Simba and in early 90’s WCW. Mad respect for him!
Tony Atlas and Rocky Johnson were my heroes growing up man. Glad he's still going.
This is such an amazing interview. The part about Brody and his son had me tears. I lived in Puerto Rico for 5 years in the 90's and had a coversation with Victor Jovica in Cayey P.R. about me becoming a wrestler before I did. He was kind of a jerk to me.

What a story teller, a rare gift. Il have to get his book.
as a little kid I met Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas in the Boston Gardens when they were the Champions I was at a concession stand and they were jogging down the hall with the belts on obviously late
Listening to this at work. Thank you, Hannibal TV for another great interview.
Just watched this whole thing.. I could listen to his stories all day!
Great interview. A good, honest man. Take care Tony.
I met Tony in person. He told an old lady that I was his father. Only problem is I’m 40 years younger. The nicest funniest person I ever met.
Awesome interview Tony! I could listen to your stories all day man!
"I'd buy em the tennis shoes to walk on me"
What are you a twinkie or,, a klindyke...
Wat is it with me and watching wrestling shoot early in mornings 5 am 🤣
Tony Atlas is a national treasure. He had ups and downs and tells it all with honesty and grace and, most importantly, he is entertaining as hell! God bless you Mr. Atlas!
Man...them words at the end kind of choked me up...we need to be more appreciative of what we have, and this great country we won the lottery on.
I need to be...
God bless Tony Atlas. God bless you all. God bless America.
Amazing interview. Whatever personal problems Tony has had over the years, he's still a remarkable individual...with compassion.
Tony may not have had a great formal education and mispronounces some words but he is no dummy. You can hear his awareness, insight and common sense in just about every story.
YES!! - God damn, I LOVE this guy!
Tony Atlas book is the craziest thing I've ever read i think it should've been called "Black Superman" I hope wwe or someone will do a 3 disc Tony Atlas documentary called "Black Superman"!
We're going to be doing a follow up shoot interview with him next month that will cover other stories from the book.
17:17 Awesome!
Such a great interview,Tony has so many hilarious stories( His foot fetish stories had me laughing so hard!")....When I get my retirement check at the end of this month, first thing I'm going to do is buy his book,I wish only the best for Tony as he was one of my favorite wrestlers in the 70s and hope he gets good residuals from the book and hopefully W.W.E makes a DVD on him.....As we say in Boston,Massachusetts,Tony is one "Hot Shit"!!

"He told me to shine!" Yo, that has to be the funniest story out of them all but I'm only 39:49 into it so we will see LMAO

One of the most fascinating wrestlers and interviews ever, and there are a lot (I.e., Scott Hall, etc.)
I grew up watching him wrestle, it was very interesting to hear his journey and how the business of wrestling was back then. This was an awesome interview. Awesome interview Hannibal TV, great Job.
Love to hear Tony Atlas career stories & him telling it like it is, he's one of a kind.
tony is a good soul.....god bless him.....wish i could meet him
Oh 1 More thing.
If heard a interview with Tony from way back in 1991, his story has not changed at ALL.
100% word for word identical.
Which for me indicates he is telling the truth.
I could listen to Tony atlas all day be a pleasure to buy the man a drink 👍💯
"Snyphillis and the clash"...🤔smh...although the best shoot I've ever heard yet!
52:41 "You a Venkrilloshit?"
Love the interview. Such a good heart. And yes, God bless America. #KAG
Love Tony Atlas! My idol as a teen because I was into pro wrestling and looked like a bodybuilder.

Best Shoot interview I've seen.
Back in Hi-Skool Tony Atlas an Lou Ferrigno were my 2 BIGGEST body building inspirations!😉
Mad Props to "Mr. USA" Tony Atlas!!!
Tony has had quite a life. A diamond in the ruff!
I love tony, i remember watching him way back.
him and Rocky Johnson were the ones who got me into training!!!!
Excellent interview. Thanks Hannibal!
Love this guy can tell straight from the heart👌🏾
Tony Atlas the G.O.A.T 🐐
"Are you a vecriquilcuis?" Bol 😂😂😂
What a great man! And still as gorgeous as he was 35 years ago.
Tony Atlas is a really cool dude. I love listening to him, he is so earnest and up front.
He was hilarious on Legends House on the wwe network.
There are two wrestlers that know how to tell a story so well you just want to hear more.... Ron Fuller is one and this man is the other.
Woah, for a man who says himself he ain't too bright, he said a lot of great things. His thoughts on the N-word are smarter than the average person out there.
Joris Weyen white started using the n word first they need to stop as well not only blacks come on world!?
Being asked not to say a racial slur which offends millions of your own countrymen is not equivalent to legally not being able to use a restaurant in your own country because of your skin colour. Tony was way off on that one but it was a great interview besides that.
@@dantheman4838 it doesn't bother Tony because he doesn't have an inferiority complex . He's a man who knows who and what he is and he has enough self worth that he doesn't let a word affect him . That's real pride .
Huge respect for his mom frfr 🙌👌
I'm proud to be from the same state as this man.
This was very good !!
5 stars 👍
A Class Act, Tony made it the hard way.
He is not bitter but humble.
One Smart Man!!!
Cruzer
Seems like a real nice guy. Really cool interview
At 1:23:45 "Sika, Raymond Roan father went with me". LOL
XD
