Bruno will always be for me the true face of wrestling. Started watching back around 1972..nothing brings back those days more than seeing Bruno Sammartino...and Andre.
I was a kid of the Backlund era but Bruno was incredible. He has to be the most honest pro wrestler that ever lived. A decent man in a den of carnies, there will never and could ever be another Bruno
He was probably on the juice,he had the kind of body as Kerry Von Eric and we know he was juicing up,plus it is extremely hard to keep up a good body,the travel and their schedule works against them, entertaining the fat slobs takes priority.
Thanks I thought this uwf league was from 1990. It was definitely not around long as it's founder was a hard partying maniac who overdosed and died not long after
Billy Jack looks a whole lot different than his days in the WWF. Put on a few pounds I see. They spent 7 minutes of this match walking around and doing nothing.
@@vintagesavoiur Since Billy Jack actually did Golden Gloves boxing my money is on him. Not to mention he beat the shit out of more than a couple people in the locker room.
App. this match was in 10/1990: I thought Patera remained a face wrestler from approximately 1987-on while Billy Jack turned heel in 1989 Portland, went to Memphis in1991(?) and was still hated and then just faded from the scene. Strongman both.
Dude! I seem to recall both these guys looking way different! What the hell is going on? I am 47 years old and my all time main man was old Billy. What year was this?
Patera was out of his prime,Billy Jack was approaching the sunset of his career...Billy Jack had potential,Patera was... Patera who couldn t hold a candle next to today's strong men.
Patera was a weightlifter, not a strongman. Different sports and in some select events 70's Patera could still compete with today's strongmen in strongman.
This match is right after he got out of jail..he lost three yrs..it shows..he's outta shape..but he's still got records in weight lifting that haven't been broken!!! Right on kenny..hope your doing well✌️🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇦🇮🇱💪
0:54 Seeing that Billy Jack Haynes is missing two front teeth was startling. When I watched his recent interviews in the last couple of years, he does not have those gaps anymore. So I presume he can afford dental work years later to correct that.
How shocking, a man gets paid to run into ppl and gets rammed into turnbuckle has missing 😳 teeth. Please, u realize most wrestlers, boxers, hockey 🏒 players have missi g teeth
What's with BJH's chastity belt? His fashion sense was weird, between this and now, with his Hannah Montana wig (if you don't know what I mean, check out his "challenge" to Austin)
+Tom Greenfield No it's a back brace. Andre war the same thing at the end of his career, you can especially see it in the pre-WMIII SNM battle royal and at WMIII itself vs Hogan.
first of all, there is no apostrophe in Nelsons. secondly, neither wrestler ever attempted a full nelson, so this is hardly a "battle of the full nelsons" (no apostrophe).
Billy Jack is off of steroids and looks like a normal person. Vince McMahon made his wrestlers like Curt Henning and others take so many steroids it flipped them out mentally and they turned to Meth, Heroin and Cocaine sadely.

Breaks my brain as to how much Bruno sounds like Arnold.
Ken Patera and Billy Jack both born and raised in (East) Portland, OR. Patera - Cleveland HS. Haynes - Franklin HS (didn't finish).
Two rival schools as well.
Bruno will always be for me the true face of wrestling. Started watching back around 1972..nothing brings back those days more than seeing Bruno Sammartino...and Andre.

@zombiefulci3301 Bruno was a great man and a stand-up guy who kept outta trouble and never got into the booze and substances
Can’t wait to see Herb Abrams on Vice’s Dark Side of the Ring Series in a few weeks!!!
These 2 were tag team partners in the WWE in 1987
Billy Jack could have passed as Tommy "The Duke" Morrison's brother!
I miss Bruno Samartino RIP Italian Strong man.
I can remember BJH had one of the best dropkicks in wrestling!
billy jack haynes should've kept his body from the 80s he had one of the best body's in wrestling history
He was probably on the juice,he had the kind of body as Kerry Von Eric and we know he was juicing up,plus it is extremely hard to keep up a good body,the travel and their schedule works against them, entertaining the fat slobs takes priority.
That was a body of steroids bro
Age idiot
Billy did - not - age gracefully, like Flair
billy jack and hercules were looking real good at wrestlemania 3.
Both guys were off the juice here.
Doesn't Billy Jack look like Scott Steiner?
this doesn't matter, no one probably cares. but I looked this match up, it occurred in October 1990. Mick Foley wrestled in the undercard
That's pretty cool
Thanks I thought this uwf league was from 1990. It was definitely not around long as it's founder was a hard partying maniac who overdosed and died not long after
I always like this kind of information. Thanks for providing it.
Thanks I was actually trying to figure this out.
It's odd because they were both allies in the WWF.
This was Herb Abram's version of UWF
Ken Peters is huge in this match!
These two guys are out of their mind.
Undisputed battle of the beer bellies.
Patera or billy Jack will never be in the wwe hall of fame cause they both hate vince mcmahons guts.
Patera was definitely back with His Burger addiction here .
The epic battle over Portland Oregon.. by two guys skilled in the full nelson and unskilled in making a promo.
Hahahah that fucking killed me
Billy Jack looks like Scotty Riggs, here.
Two very large men with large tempers.
Patara and Dutch Savage were some of the most classic bouts ever!
Ken Patera should be a wwe hall of famer
Yep, yell
simon marshall he should be in the Olympic HOF dude was great in the ring but he could shoot to save his life
Been on a cross country road trip and have passed through Oregon. One of my favorite state, go "Billy Jack" Haynes.
THE MATCHES HERB ABRAMS PRESENTED HERE WERE WAY BETTER THAN WHAT THE WWF OR NWA WAS PRESENTING AT THE TIME.
too bad this match didn't take place eight years earlier
Billy Jack looks a whole lot different than his days in the WWF. Put on a few pounds I see. They spent 7 minutes of this match walking around and doing nothing.
Billy Jack Haynes rocking the “burn sides” on his mullet the opposite of side burns.
2 men that had great promos! Kidding
The fans are going wild.
UWF at least had good sound people, the Wide World of Sports theme song as Patera's entrance is epic.
Would have loved to see these guys go for real
Ethan Boyer my money is on ken
Surprised theyre both still alive to be honest
@@vintagesavoiur Since Billy Jack actually did Golden Gloves boxing my money is on him. Not to mention he beat the shit out of more than a couple people in the locker room.
Ken Patera beat Billy Jack like a kid working at McDonald’s window not serving him burgers.
Like a lady police officer
Definitely uncalled for.
Wow Billy Jack looked Rough. Like he had some fights with the crack pipe
He actually did, He was deep in the dope game and recently confessed to multiple murders when working as an enforcer.
He was a crack/heroin dealer at this point.
business upfront party in the back.
R.I.P.
+paul kersey I meant wrestling
These guys are big
Ken patunia weakness was always missing that,spot and hitting that corner turnbuckle it's his kryptonite
and for the record it's Billy Jerk Haynes.
Billy has more balls than you could ever round up even if you buy a dozen at family dollar which is where you go when you want to suck eggs.

Anyone notice that Ken Patera came out to the theme from ABC’s “Wide World of Sports??”
0:30
Mark Henry: And I took that personally...
Dude! I seem to recall both these guys looking way different! What the hell is going on? I am 47 years old and my all time main man was old Billy. What year was this?
Billy's teeth are already smoked out.
When was this match?
When did this take place?
Isn't Patera also from Portland?
Yes
They are both Canadian..
Ken was just upset during the promo, he wanted a Big Mac, your not yourself when your hungry .
No, he wanted a Snickers!! Because the commercial says you're not yourself when your hungry!!!
What year was this?
The billy Jack dude isn’t even same guy he was when he was built like a freak. His hair different, face and even voice. How did that even happen?
It's called a Hair cut
almost looks liked eddie guerrero in the thumbnail.
Thought is was Big Scott Hall in the Thumbnail
Ken Patera uses The No-No
2 Big Dinosaurs colliding
Patera is wearing a fur coat
What year ?
Looks like 1990
Both wrestlers ended up being a tag team vs demolition in promos. Although the actual match never happened
That was 2 years before this
Demolition was clearly afraid of these two
Uwf ruled
Patera wearing a women's leotard.
Patera was out of his prime,Billy Jack was approaching the sunset of his career...Billy Jack had potential,Patera was... Patera who couldn t hold a candle next to today's strong men.
Patera was much stronger than today's strongmen in his prime.
Patera set world records and benched over 600 lbs. He was stronger then 90% of the muscle heads today.
Patera was a weightlifter, not a strongman. Different sports and in some select events 70's Patera could still compete with today's strongmen in strongman.
@@jeffreywalker8221 Ted Arcidi benched over 700 in the late 80s
This match is right after he got out of jail..he lost three yrs..it shows..he's outta shape..but he's still got records in weight lifting that haven't been broken!!! Right on kenny..hope your doing well✌️🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇦🇮🇱💪
Did you see that girl in the crowd she really puts a W H in Oregonian

The grappler knocked his teeth out by accident. Grappler tells it in video.
How shocking, a man gets paid to run into ppl and gets rammed into turnbuckle has missing 😳 teeth. Please, u realize most wrestlers, boxers, hockey 🏒 players have missi g teeth
Kenny Rules...
Both guys really let them themselves go. Just three years earlier they were in tremendous shape.
Couldn't afford good juice
That's the first thing i noticed when I watched this match. Their best days are behind them.
@@alspencer3826 to be fair patera was pushing 50
Simple life era .....2019 these dudes are jumping two story buildings
What ? 🙄
Layoff the bath salts dude!
Billy Jerk vs the Ex-Con
Billy did time too.
Bobby always called him Billy "Jerk" Haynes lol
@@osvaldoluna2020 I thought that was Jesse Ventura who called him Billy Jerk.
@@actionsub actually Bobby started it when he was working with Hercules Hernandez from the Heenan family
what happened to the full nelsons then? lol
aspect ratio being stretched here makes this unwatchable. don't make a video widescreen that wasn't recorded in wide screen res lol
Both wrestlers shot by this time. Couldn't do anything.
what date was this match?
What's with BJH's chastity belt? His fashion sense was weird, between this and now, with his Hannah Montana wig (if you don't know what I mean, check out his "challenge" to Austin)
I think it is to hide a gut.
+Tom Greenfield No it's a back brace. Andre war the same thing at the end of his career, you can especially see it in the pre-WMIII SNM battle royal and at WMIII itself vs Hogan.
+James Fabiano The fact you know who Hannah Montana is speaks pretty badly of you not Haynes.
+Lannis31 that makes sense
+Tom Greenfield Haynes had a back back and a knee at the time.
Ken pancake is huge
That from 1992
1990
Billy Jack haynes needed the beard
Thank God the newer wrestlers wear shorts down to their knees. Can you imagine if they ever made these tights cool again. Barf!
Billy Jack couldn't afford a dental bridge???
first of all, there is no apostrophe in Nelsons. secondly, neither wrestler ever attempted a full nelson, so this is hardly a "battle of the full nelsons" (no apostrophe).
kurt angle sr
Eddie Guerrero!!!!!!😯
Bill jack vs ken pantera🤼♂️💪🤛
What the hell is Patera wearing?
Bruno's voice is like nails on the blackboard to me. Insufferable.
Sounds like Arnold
I'd rather listen to his voice, than have to look at him. Lol
Better than Mauro!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Patera was no match to Billy Jack back then 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Billy kicked his butt like a little girl, Patera left crying !!!!!!!!!
I read comments here before FURY POWER flashed on screen.
Due to comments on Patera’s back , it hit my immediate takeaway as FURRY POWER!
They were both not the same see what happens when your home drinking to much happy juice they both were sluggish looking
Billy Jack is off of steroids and looks like a normal person. Vince McMahon made his wrestlers like Curt Henning and others take so many steroids it flipped them out mentally and they turned to Meth, Heroin and Cocaine sadely.
They are grown men. And Billy Jack has a criminal mind as Patera said in interview. And it was confirmed last month.
Did they really need to end it in a DQ?
Who are they protecting lol
Super Dull.
1:23 And don't slap no women!
Holy crap did BJH not put his tooth in?
+pazios2002 Vincent Killer McMahon stole them from him.
+James Fabiano Did Vince Killer McMahon steal your life because you don't seem to have one.
Lannis31 Hey! Good idea! Let me get my bogus lawsuit papers ready!!!!!

nequito718 What a way to go LoLz
Billy jack wouldn't love Portland now
He still does. He's a huge foodie now. Portland is second to none in great spots to eat. So yeah he still loves it.
disappointing end to what could have been a traditional grappling bout. this style of grappling needs to be revived.....
Its convict vs crackhead convict.
Jail Bird ....Jail Bird
Rock’s Roll McDonald’s
Dino Bravo ended Ken's career.
