Harley was a friend of my grandparents and I'd see him every once in a while. I remember one time he was helping me with some homework and when my grandpa walked into the room he started laughing and said "what are you telling him"? Harley started laughing too and told me to erase whatever he told me to write down. As a small kid (5-10) Harley always made me feel like a tough guy. He'd tell me to twist his arm and he'd do a summersault or fall down. I didn't realize he was a legit legend until I was in my twenties and it makes me wish I could remember more about the time I spent around him. I don't know why he took a liking to me but he sure made me feel good about myself and we'd have a good time when he was around. RIP Legend
My husband & I had a portrait studio in Eldon, Mo. When Harley moved his wrestling school there ( WLW), He wanted us to photograph his wrestlers. So we did! We went to so many of the events...got to know him & BJ. They were fun, & kind, and so many memorable moments were made with them. Then when we moved away from Eldon we sort of lost touch. A lot of years passed...and I heard when BJ passed. But I just now learned that Harley passed. Just so sorry that time separates people. He was a soft spoken man...but you just knew he had the command of respect. Yet he was a gentle giant... I’ll miss him. Love you Harley Race!
Y’all were really good to Harley, he and BJ really appreciated it.
Harley Race. That name says it all. He didnt ever need a nickname, or an introduction. He is as great a professional wrestler as there ever was. And ever will be. He epitomized what true professional wrestling was. God rest your soul Mr. Race. THE GREATEST THERE EVER WAS, AND WILL EVER BE....
That was a really nice read. It’s nice to see that your heroes are just that 😊
those are some kindest words to a true wrestling legend
I had the pleasure of calling Harley a friend later in his life. As tough as he was in the ring was as good a man he was outside
Awesome! Harley was my all time top favorite wrestler of all time! Bar none!
The business would be better if we had more Harley Races today.
For wrestlers who complain about their schedule today,
Try being Harley Race. Wrestling 300+ days as the NWA Champ, having to wrestle 2 times a day, wrestle a different match for different cities every night, carry an entire company on your back and travel from Atlanta to St. Louis to Tokyo. They wouldn’t survive it.

@@coypiercy5215 "
Yes 5 Harley races and 5 Terry funks would make the business worth wild again
1 Bad Ass Man
He was the real deal.
Harley Race was so tough, he can still kick people’s ass even when he’s dead.
"You stole all of my finishes"
That killed me, hahaha
Imagine being there, you’d think they would throw down after that haha
Thanks Hannibal. Your respect for Harley says a lot about your character. Respect is earned.
I just want to say thank you for all the work you do keeping the memory of the greats alive.
i never liked harley race - so he was a perfect heel, lol. all respect in the world for mr race. rest in peace
He definitely should be put on the mount rushmore of wrestling. RIP legend Harley Race...
Thanks for the information and the stories from the legends. Harley Race was one of the best to ever do it. Rest in peace power and paradise Mr. Race
love how a heinz ketchup ad randomly popped up haha
Everyone of these guys have so much love and respect, and fear, for Harley it amazes me. Man love at its best.
When Lex Luger of that era specifically had so much respect and love for Harley Race then you know Harley was the man. Lex Luger is a different guy nowadays and I'd guess some of the respect he grew for the business had much to do with having Harley around him.
its almost impossible to hear what flair is saying exactly, but you know there is so much respect and admiration and the crowd is hanging on every word. amazing
Such a sad day when we lost Harley. RIP Champ
Harley Race....The true godfather of wrestling
He was such a legend in and around the whole wrestling business, nobody could touch him 👊❤️
You can tell Lex really appreciated and respected Harley. Luger and Race together was a DREAM TEAM. Same with his and Big Van Vader
Is it just me or does lex look like the tales from the crypt guy?
@@gregfreeman6118 Just you
I never realized following wrestling since I was a kid how tough and capable Harley Race was. (such as Meng). To go through so much real life shit, as well as pro careers, is remarkable. All respect to those men, IN EVERY WAY. Which BTW is sorely lacking nowadays! 🙏
👍
“You’re a professional wrestler now daddy”
😂😂😂😂😂
❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉
I really like Lex. Rooted against him all through my childhood and it hurt my heart when he became a Horseman. Seems like the most sincere, nicest guys in these interviews. Hope he stays well and I'm rooting for him now.
my ALL-TIME favorite - Hannibal, you're one of my favorites today, I hope that I can one day see you wrestle live - you're one of the few guys who could've been a star back when I grew-up watching pro wrestling ...
Harley Race was my all time favorite wrestler ever!
My great grandfather knew Harley Races father. He didn't know Harley, but they grew up in the same part of rural Missouri
My favorite is Mick Foley’s story from Legends Roundtable & it involves some accountant telling Mick that WCW won’t cover his medical injury because he was busted open outside the ring. Harley walks in and tells this guy “It was a HEADBUTT…INSIDE THE RING”
The poor guy goes “But Harley we got it on tape”
Harley: “IT WAS A HEADBUTT…INSIDE THE RING!”
Accountant: “….ok Mick we got you covered!”
It wasn't a accountant,from WCW it was a doctor from the Maryland boxing and wrestling commission. The doctor was stiching Mick up from a chair shot outside of his Ring. He told Mick it was a shame the it didn't happen inside the ring because the commission would cover it. Harley look at the doc and told him it 2as a headbutt inside the ring. The doctor said come on we all saw him get hit with he chair out side. Harley looked at him again and said I told you it was a headbutt inside the ring. The doctor said ok Harley it was inside of the ring,the commission would cover it
@@russblack443 Thank you it's still my favorite Harley story!
43:44 “Who’s the star now?” That’ll stay with me forever 😂😂😂
Great collection of shoots..thank you Devon!! A real life Philo Beddoe!!!
Harley Race vs Meng in a street fight
I always liked Harley met him once great wrestler legend
Harley Race ruled - what else could be said - he really ruled!
Harley Race was a legit badass, there other champions who may have won the belt numerous times but Harley Race was the hardest working champion, ever!!!
This compilation of shoot interviews is much more interesting than the shows that either AEW or NXT presented this week.
I completely quit watching pro wrestling in 2001 when WCW folded. I never watched any promotion again except for random late night ROH episodes a decade later. I will continue to enjoy watching matches and interviews from the 70's-90's until I pass away and never watch any new wrestling promotions.
Harley race was a rough guy. King of the vertical suplex. He would hold an opponent up forever then drop them right straight down on their head. One of my favorites along with dick the bruiser and bruiser Brody.
I bought a DVD a year or so ago and I bought it because it was Billy Jack Haynes vs Harley Race in Portland Oregon 2 out of 3 falls it was Billy Jack Haynes best match One of Harleys best matches to R.I.P Harley Race
I asked Harley once, who he would be scared to get in the ring with. He replied Iron mike tyson
thats completely fair 😂
Harley Race was a legit badass.
There are tough guys, and there is Harley Race, apart from Haku, one of the hardest men to ever grace a wrestling stage❤️ RIP
ahh i got ya kid it will be alright
Harley’s left hand is a stuff of legends. One my favorite quotes from Harley is: “If I hit my opponent with my left hand, and he doesn’t go down, I’ll walk behind him and see what’s holding him up” I mean that’s badass
Seen Harley wrestle in Vancouver 1x back in the 1970s.
He had that manly confidant look.
His body was quite tall & very powerful looking.
Think he was just passing thru the area as I think he just wrestled here 1x or very few times...possibly.
Harley Race, the Greatest Pro Wrestler of All Time and The Greatest Pro Wrestler on God's Green Earth!
my nephews heard Harley Race say that promo about a year ago and they still talk about it.
Marty's impersonation of Harley is great! It's also the most 'normal' and sober he's sounded in years 😆
My experience as a wrestling fan began around 1985, so i dont remember Harley race. Looking back he was aa huge talent who. Could do incredible things in the ring.
In my opinion his Saturday Nights Main Event match 1988 with Hogan was one of the matches of that era. It wasn't a technical masterpiece but it was innovative in many ways and interesting the entire time.
Marty Janetty should write a book of wrestling stories his clips on here are the best.
the respect of the crowd and Ric says it at the end RIP Mr. Race
Billy Jack’s hair:🤣😂
I was thinking the same thing looking like Davy off of Hey Hey with the monkeys
"That was back when they were glass then"...
Marty jannetty stays High
Billy Jack wow looks so different..
that may be THE worst wig I have ever seen!
I didn't know Tony was a Pink Floyd fan.
Didn’t have the story when the cops got him going over 100mph and he jumped out and cut a promo on the cop “ I’m Harley race 7 times world champion “ 🤣🤣🤣👍
Wasn't that Kevin Nash that was riding with Harley Race at the time?
I think Kevin Nash said after he cut the promo the cops turned the lights on and guided Harley into the arena and Harley passed them for driving to slow lol
@@matthewcollins8602 yep that's the one 😂😂
They don't make them like Harley Race anymore
True
They put Harley with Vader for many reasons, and the teaching was a big part, but also to keep Vader in line because of the respect factor.
Harley did a lot for Lex and tried to a lot for Lex.
Billy Graham ended up having his respect factor go through the roof with NWA fans for doing a time limit draw, wish he could have seen what that did for him.
In WCW they paired Harley and Sting with Vader bc he was working to stiff coming recently from Japan
Harley spent time in Puerto Rico in the 80's, Bad Dude.No one messed with him.
Being a bad ass had nothing to do with it. The reason why he had no problems there is because Harley was a man's man.
How much blow was Marty doing!
His story was my favorite
I'd pay to watch Harley anyday over any of the weak punks in AEW and WWE right now.
Me too
He is a old man can't toe to toe with modern wrestling they are to fast for him
@@tanishawhite9141 he wouldve just beat the shit out of them for real, for ruining Wrestling. They would slow down or take the consequences.
He was a master technician, could brawl, and was a pioneer off the top rope. Harley did not have to prove that he was tough, you “knew” he was. Race could work with anyone, from Stevens to Andre, from Brisco to Brody. He was not showy on the mike, but he got his point across, often without raising his voice. Race was a professional, as you have never heard another wrestler state that he took liberties with them.Simply put, he is one of the top ten performers in the history of wrestling.
@@tanishawhite9141 not true. Harley was a shooter and legit strong as a bear. As soon as he got those big hands on those young guys he would have taken them to school.
Was 8 years old and my parents took me to starrcade,! And I pulled for Piper loudly,pulled for Harley quietly,..but..Harley was always the man!!!!!!!
Crazy he mentions Yakima, WA the town I am sitting in lol
Oh Lex. "he did all this hand stuff with guys"
Lol
When did Jannetty turn into Boomhauer?
Lol
I like the story about Mr Race when a guy pulled him over for speeding it was a citizens arrest wasn't a pig and Harley asked him 4 times you sure your not a pig the guy said no and Mr Race just fuckin nailed him fuckin awsome.
Whenever Hollywood has the sense to make a documentary about the (Rev) Gene Scott, Billy Jack Haynes should play the title role.
Billy Jacks hair is god damn amazing!
60's British Invasion
@@CP-kb1du ha!
Its a wig 😂
@@rjminar1980over coat of 70's porn hair when he walks you get porn music for sure baww chukka wow wow chukka wow wow !
I don't know if Harley was the greatest NWA champion ever but he was the last of the Great NWA champions .
He wasn’t the last. Ric Flair was the last of the great NWA World Heavyweight champions
Best match I have ever seen was Harley vs Bob Backlund in a cage match from Madison Square Garden.
You have to love Billy Jack
His story is great and one I'd never heard before
death comes to us all but i think Harley Race had the best chance of anyone to beat deaths ass
Harley Race allowed death to take him, that's all!
I doubt it.
Marty Jannetty is hard to comprehend.
no doubt the poor guy is on some shit that only he konws what it is.
I think he's a great storyteller. But, yeah, a little janky.
Billy Jack Haynes " They were hard ribs " having a gun pointed at the back of your head! Fuck that ! 😮
The Tony Atlas story had me dying!
Billy Jack Haynes.....dude looks like Granny from Bugs Bunny Show.
Try tough guy, kick the ass of of any MMA fighter of today
Hell no. Harley Race would get destroyed by most MMA fighters.
Mike. In a real fight could hold his own. I know jujitsu, judo ect. When there are no rules everything changes ...
Harley Race and Neil Cassidy would have been friends
That's Moe Howard, not Billy Jack Haynes!
I’m shocked in 2020 that there isn’t someone with a gimmick named Harley Racial Injustice
Nobody would do it justice at all that would be a hard act
Ever interview Dory Funk? He must be 80 now I'd assume.
He will turn 80 in February ironically.
I guess I missed out on something when I was younger. Because I don't remember ever Feelin My "OaKs". (In the words of Tony.)
now youre a professional wrestler, daddy
Maybe it's best Marty jenetty didn't make it big he looks the best out of them
He looks better that Shawn now for sure and no lazy eye!
Damn Hannibal your brutal! Funny and true though!
@@TheHannibalTV Hahah damn!... I'll say they are about equal lol
You must be blind.lol
Working overnights doing security finally pays off lol
This man was the toughest guy in wrestling, ask Jerry Lawler 😂
Tony learned to never feel your oaks with Harley.
Was their a sale at the wig shop?
Nice guy gave me autograph in the mail
Marty trying out for AC⚡️DC.
Dan Spivey is a terrifying man.
Billy Jack's hair though. lol
4:21 Moe from the 3 stooges called and he wants his hair back.
Let's not forget that Race exposed the business by doing that wrestling secrets revealed (he was in shadow but nobody else had that white man's afro and gruff voice) exposè and nobody said or did anything about it.
When Andre The Giant and Haku/Meng say you're a badass I'll take their word for it.
Even when he managed Vader Race looked like he could kick your ass.
Marty is full of stories and fun to listen to. But he seems so fucked up on something but I do like him and he does tell the truth about things including bad things about himself he doesn't argue he owns up to it
8:16 wtf lol🤣
There was nothing fake or sports entertainment about Harley Race.
Tony Atlaaaaas!!
My thoughts are with Dan Spivey. He doesn't look well. This business sure takes it our of you
Flair is great, but Harley Race is greater👊❤️
No, Harley Race is not. Harley Race didn’t draw nearly as well as Ric Flair. Harley Race wasn’t nearly as big of a star as Ric Flair was.
Jim is twizzlin
I’ll go out on a limb I personally think that Harley in his prime could have taken Haku!
It would never had happened Haku had too much respect for Harley.
Do I detect a touch of scepticism in Hannibal concerning Harleys fighting ability ? Seems I do.
Not at all Harley is one of my all time Favorites I had the honor of attending 2 of his week long training camps and I truly love the guy.
@@TheHannibalTV Hey Hannibal i said a bad comment about you on that incident when you cut that guy up in Texas and looking back i just want to apologize for it. Hannibal in my opinion Big Billy Jack Haynes was the tuffest guy ever in pro wrestling from stories I've heard guy's were petrified of him and just look how he was in the ring guy was fucking tuff.
Junk yard dog ticklish 😂😂😂😂😂
It hurts my ears listening to Marty talk
What language is Jannetti speaking? Could it be English? Never heard such a mush mouth before.
I'm first
