I hope we get another warlord interview. I love this guy. Super humble an very down to earth.
Terry is awesome never bad mouths anyone class guy
It's crazy seeing Warlord speak. I always remembered him as a monster as a kid. He's actually human! 😂
He is quite a 180 from the Warlord wrestler!! Seems like a very grounded fella and tells his stories in a real enjoyable way 😁
I mean, he did cut promos
@filthiestfish yeah as a monster...lol
Same. Got to watch him come down the aisle, as a kid, in the early 90's, this was right after his tag team says. He was yoked to the max. I actually had sodium issues on a physical in sports that made the doctors scratch their head, as I tried to copy his "so called diet," crushing the tun way to much, lol.
I also remember that I never got his attention, (which admittedly, in character, I probably would've pee'd my pants, lol), when I kept yelling "where's Slick at?"
Man, memory lane.
Seems like a nice dude now, very grounded
I’ve rarely seen Warlord talk, but man, he seems so nice and humble. Great to see someone who seems thankful and not bitter. Complementary toward everyone
The Warlord is one of my favorite wrestlers to listen to on podcasts and shoots
100% and I was scared of him when I was a little kid. 😂
Thanks Warlord for all the good stories. You're very gracious for not trashing anyone.
Warlord is super humble. He finds positives in everyone, even if he may not have cared much for the person.
The biggest villains of our childhood actually turn out to be the most nice and well spoken people. We need more of Warlord.
Warlord was always so intimidating to me as a kid.. the Powers of Pain and then as a solo act, he was insanely big! Can’t believe what a lovely, humble and down to earth guy he is! Great interview.
"Sid was different"
What a lovely way of describing him 😂
It's really cool to hear guys like Warlord. They're pretty rare in that there's no bitterness, nothing bad to say about anyone and they're just grateful. The shoot interviews with guys going at each other, they're fun but...laid back, humble, appreciative guys like Warlord are really refreshing.
I love hearing old Steiner stories! Steiner's are my all-time favorite tag team
I watched some of their matches the other night, and they were even better than I remembered. I gotta have them as the best tag team.
That Steiner Screwdriver has to be one of the most devastating moves I've seen to this day.
@@jonbourgoin182and the original Scott Frankensteiner. Every time he hit it, it looked homicidal lol, especially from a guy as jacked as Scott.
Warlord and Barbarian should of had bigger pushes. Powers of Pain should of been WWF tag team champions
Good to see warlord looking well. Seems a great guy.
OMG , one of the top 5 most imposing wrestlers ever IMO and i never forgot him .
and now he seems like one hell of a nice dude .....
keep on keeping on big dude !
One of the biggest human beings I have ever seen.
He walked right past me at a show late 80’s early 90’s.
My eyes couldn’t believe what they were seeing. How a human could be so huge!
It’s good to see that being so big doesn’t mean you have to have an attitude. What a polite man
Warlord could’ve carried the world on his shoulders. Absolute unit
The guy doing the interview knows how to get it done. Quick questions, let Warload speak.... He knows what the viewers are here for.
Warlord looks amazing
I dunno what my youtube has become but Im finding myself so entertained and educated by Warlord interviews and Maven videos and I love it.
this guy is awesome. a shame i missed his run due to being too young. I love the stuff ive seen on the network
Man, this was a treat. Warlord was a beast in his prime. Such a nice guy. Finds it hard to talk shit about anyone
When warlord says Rick's hand was meaty!!!! Damn
So many names and he didn't bury one of them! True class Warlord! Well spoke!
Very enjoyable interview Warlord is a rarity in wrestling when it comes too veterans because, he is grateful and humble
One of the many things today's wrestling is lacking are big men like John Tenta. Big badass looking heels like Bigelow, Vader, One Man Gang. No one looks intimidating at all now days.
Bronson Reed is the only one I can think of but I haven't been watching Raw so not sure if he's face or heel.
People rave about Wardlow but he would've looked just average in the 80s WWF
It's a shame that most wrestlers look alike. I've likened this to Tekken or Soul Calibur. There's a variation of characters based of their ability, look, size, speed, fighting style and strength. There's a distinction between all of them. Your imagination can run wild just wondering how two different characters would match up. Wrestling no longer has that unfortunately.
A friend of mine who worked out at Diesel fitness in Burlingame ca back in the early 90’s told me when the warlord was in town for a show at the cow palace he would come in to lift and warlord would do sets of 10x495 on the flat bench easy reps..
Dude looks great for a wrestler from the Golden Era. His good attitude has paid off.
I have to repeat the word everybody else keeps using for this guy: *Humble*
Awesome seeing him give this interview. Seems genuine, happy, in good health and the first thing out of his mouth about any of his old school colleagues is positive.
He and _The Godfather_ are the two former wrestlers who have impressed me the most with their interviews. No negativity, no hate, no blowing their own trumpets needlessly... Just seems like they look back fondly and have lead a great life
This guy is 61??? He doesn't look a day over 40. Must have a top notch skin care routine.
amazes me how well spoken Warlord is, as he didn't talk in wrestling. Seems a really cool, humble guy.
Would be great to have him and Barb on together.
Remember him when I was a kid!! Seems like a cool cat and a good conversation
Have really been loving Warlord interviews. Idolized him & Barbarion when I was a kid. He speaks so well and looks terrific. This is refreshing, as we have lost so many wrestlers at young ages. Seems like such a nice guy.
Just look at the comment section glow with appreciation for what a genuine, decent, humble dude The Warlord really is.
I’ve heard countless stories of both Barbarian and Warlord being really cool, good dudes and have had that verified for some time now with Barb from his various shoot interviews over the years.
I believe this is the first time I’ve seen a shoot interview with The Warlord and I couldn’t be happier to see how down to earth and charming a guy he really is…fantastic interview, boys!
Warlord being one of the Minnesota guys. Unreal talent.
When Terry threw Marty Jannety overhead -was one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen in a pro wrestling ring.
What a really nice,humble guy he is,and not burying people either.I could listen to him all day
Real nice dude with a real good disposition
Luger started in the Florida territory. He seemed like a decent guy, eager to work and learn, trained by Hiro Matsuda who coached many wrestlers, including Hulk Hogan. Luger developed the narcissist complex in real life later on after he moved from Florida. Rick Steiner looked like a tough guy and apparently was in real life. Good to see the Warlord comment on these guys.
I didn’t watch WWF until the mid / late 90’s. I knew who the warlord is when I see him but hearing him talk he is very knowledgeable and seems like an all-around great guy.. he got to wrestle against legends from the NWA, which was my favorite sanctioning body of wrestling.
Im 39, growing up Scott was my neighbor and Rick lived about a mile up the street. Rick’s house was next door to the marina where we had our boat and wave runners. Both guys were always awesome to us kids in the neighborhood and we would screw with Scott especially!!!!!
Michigan?
Can you please elaborate on your story? I'm very interested to hear more!
@@ithinkaboutthings9052 100%
Alabama?
Earthquake was a sumo champ so he had very legit credentials coming in wrestling as a very capable huge athlete.
He was a high-level amateur wrestler in high school and college here in Canada as well
Back when the wrestlers were tougher than the audience.
All thru these Warlord shoots (and most shoot interviews) ive been thinking id love to hear him talk about Bossman.
That was so satisfying.
He was so unbelievably skillful with the nightstick! The way he would spin, twist and roll it was immense.
Rest in paradise Ray "Big Bossman" Traylor.
Absolute icon of WWF mainstream glory days. Had the heel run opposite Hogan and then became his main ally for a while, now that is top card/main event positioning FACT. Then came the feud against the Heenan Family topped off with an IC title match v Perfect at Wrestlemania 7 then that Summer the iconic jailhouse match v Mountie
Thank you Bossman
jimmy valaint in the 70s took many bumps, then learned and slowed down a bit in the 80s with his gimmick, earthquake one of the toughest, in sumo ,college,and pro, but little is mentioned of him anymore, and backlund was one of the greatest wwf champs ever, could work, was a shooter, very underated as well
That dude was intimidating back in the 80s and 90s. I wouldn't have wanted to piss him off.
"When I first met Lex Luger, he was very narcissistic." -- Warlord. Maybe it was his "Narcissist gimmick". 😆
Warlord is a genuine guy nice and a gentleman loves watching him wrestle when I was younger. Love this man
Waiting for the Barbarian and Haku stories to appear. 🙂
4:54 yeah Tony Schiavone knew a lot about wrestling except what a sidewalk slam was lol
I recall Kevin Nash saying Rick Steiner was the crazy one
Best guest yet James BRING HIM BACK PLEASE!!
Dino was like hulk in Canada
I'm 43 so Warlord was one of the guys I watched as a kid and I got a chance to go to a show where he was performing and I'll never forget it because he was the biggest man I'd ever seen. Still to this say. I know I was looking through a child's eyes but that guy looked like a tank. 10 year old me couldn't understand how a man could get so big. (dad explained to me after the show how he got so big). But you still gotta push the iron. All the chemicals in the world aren't gonna do it alone. You gotta clang em and band em lol
Tenta was a real Sumo Wrestler in Japan and a super tough guy, by all accounts.
And DI wrestler at LSU
Remembering how intimidating Warlord was back in the day; it’s shocking to see how nice and humble he is
This dudes physic back in the 80s was off the chain
He is still in better shape then 89% of the general population
His physique wasnt half bad either. lol
Could teach Einstein a thing or two.
Love to see Terry talkin Wrestling and being active. Big fan of his except when he feuded with Davey Boy 😄😄
BG, I wish I had known. You were one of my absolute favorites growing up.
Nah, Marty is just from Columbus, Georgia. That whole damn city is wild.
I think the word is "class." He clearly gets it.
Does not shit talk others (Praises infact)... and looks healthy! Wardlord is a rare breed of early 90's pro wrestler
If he had came along earlier Earthquake would have been a great heel opponent for Andre. Imagine them facing off in say 1979 or 1982 for example?
Man so many of these guys are gone now that I grew up watching a lot of them weren't even that old like Crush.
RIP.
Warlord wasn’t always this way, he was arrogant and overbearing until he met the Iron Sheik in 91 and he was made Humble. Since that day he’s been a very humble man.
Could be snitskys dad
I met Warlord as a kid as a 9 year old in 1993 at an indy show. No joke, just one of either of his arms were bigger than me at the time.
Facts luv Rick the whole time!!
A fiend of mine was in a small local federation. He said they hired Rick Steiner to headline a show. He wanted his money upfront. They paid him and he never showed up. I’ve never respected him after that.
He’s 100% right about Bob Backlund living his gimmick. Mr. Backlund used to come into my restaurant all the time, and whenever he was a baby face, he was the most engaging person you could encounter, but when he turned heel, he would come in and not talk at all to the very same people. If you open the dictionary and look up keeping kayfabe, you’ll see his picture.
6.17 mark .....THANK YOU / THE TRUTH.... without the brainwashing afterwards
I was just about to say the same thing. And that's why he was given so many chances by the WWF. The guy was a true talent.
Difference being that Shawn quickly evolved and also gimmick wise went along with the times, while Marty, even in 1998 (WCW), was still stuck in the 80's and compared to both, the cruiserweights and technicians in that promotion at the time, he was neither interesting nor any special.
I am freakin amazed he is still alive. We used to joke that when he disappeared he exploded from steroid use 😂
As the Warlord, no promos, never spoke to listen to so very highly articulate he's completely opposite of his in ring charicter.
Bushwackers were the best! They turned goofy babyfaces after their run as the Sheep Herders in hardcore nasty heels in barbwire and blood matches.
Even with the opponent helping execute the move so neither of you injur each other, I find it hard to imagine ANYONE suplexing John Tenta. 😂
Warlord is the best!
Lugar had the look 100%! He was just almost impossible to get into a storyline.
Awesome content, fellas! Thanks very much.
He was a beast in his day.
Ask Terry about being in Lebanon and being with Metal Maniac trying to get a ticket out of there in the center of town. Bombs at night from planes! Freaked us out!
Might be the only guy that’s ever referred to Sid as being a “great worker” 😳
My sister thought that Big Bossman was handsome 😂
Awesome Guy menacing heel!
I really like Warlords personality super nice man.
Seems like the nicest man ever. Jim Cornette said so as well
Typhoon started as Tugboat then became Shockmaster. Funny thing, he'd 'shock' the world when he beat Vader for the gold on a house show. Plans were nixed and Vader won it back the next night.
Great interview...super cool dude
I remember Chris Walker/CW Storm. He looked like a million bucks.
Doesn't matter how much Tenta helped to suplex a guy his size takes a lot of strength
i watched him wrestle a tag team match this year
Ughh, This guy was my boss, but was totally mum about his wrestling history. I loved wrestling. Never knew. Also, Our manager above him was friends with Rick Steiner, but, I think it was too soon after the Vince McMann steroid trial. So, I never knew.
Scotty steiner. Big poppa pump. Was hilarious. Some of his promos were Comedy Central 👋. 🎤
Dude looks BLAZED!!
I love this show 😊😊😊😊😊
Hey that's Haaland's dad
John tenta. Earth quake. Didn’t like being a heel. He loved the kids. And it would bother him when kids would cry. When they saw him in public 👋
Maybe also because he was such a big hero in Japan as a sumo. Apparently he was included in the arcade game 'Wrestlefest' based off his name recognition in Japan and the game developers wanted the game to do well there.
Who was crazier? Probably the guy that wore a chainmail hood he got from a stripper. 😂
Wrestlers used to be huuuuge
These interview clips are okay in 10 min sections. But any more and you'd be looking to change the channel?
6:55
Warlord will always be my bottom boy. Reliable, massive, intimidating, could work even at his largest. I was so happy when I learned what a nice and real person he is. Always loved Warlord.
Gross...
Bossman might have been one of the most underrated wrestlers of all time... You believed his work, he was fat, but that worked for him as an arrogant asshole.
