I defy anyone to find a more insightful, entertaining, honest, detailed, and intelligent pro wrestler than Mr. Tony Atlas. He is a natural storyteller and an absolutely brilliant historian of professional wrestling and the GOAT of wrestling interviewees, bar none!
Iron Sheik saving Tony Atlas life and Ole Anderson saying don’t save him because your heel you’ll be fired is such a bizarre story Sheik is such a legend god bless him
This is great he just goes off! If I am ever in a car wreck I hope nobody brings out the ''jaws of death''. Tony Atlas on every week, please. Would also love to see Dutch try to get a word in on him as well. Great stuff!
No one from that golden era talks with Dutch. That Brody murder and him not helping but benefited rubbed the big dogs the wrong way. Jerry Lawler got him hired and he did the Zeb Colture gimmick.
I love Tony. I can remember watching him in the ring and thinking, "He doesn't do anything", but he looked like he could lift the ring over his head. He so much breaks the stereotype of a Southerner. As smart as anyone in the business just slow to get it out. One of my favorite guys to listen to. Thanks Tony.
I grew up watching Tony. My fondest memories because I would spend every weekend with my grandpa and we both loved wrestling. Tony used to bench 500 lbs on the show sometimes. He was a super hero in my eyes. Great memories.
Word up to Tony. It's good to see you still looking good and well. I'm from Verge Street and remember seeing you sitting on the steps of your home. I often wondered why you never played with us, although, my brother Charles remembers having fellowships with you. I'm glad you made it out of that place we once lived.
about 1 hour and 17 min in - Tony entions that no one turned up at Mean Jean's funeral - does anyone know why? or can you get Tony back on to elaborate? ps this guys been through so many era's you should really think about having him on regularly - hes totally fascinating
Longtime fan of Tony's weekly show on MWF Boston Wrestling. James got a taste of Tony's never-ending rambling and ignorance 😂 R.I.P. Dan Mirade Good stuff 👍
STFU. RAMBLING?? YES!! IGNORANCE?? HELL NO!! And the rambling is because there's a lot within those subjects that has a connection to what he's talking about and he's excited as always to do interviews and interact with the fans. It's genuine and not on that phoney Dutch b.s.
@@Blacattacsquadron Ah yes, constantly talking over and ignoring the host, cos he likes the sound of his own voice better, isn't ignorant one bit. You muss be one of the goofs; that actually believed Tony was only making 55 dollars per trip to Boston, assuming you even know what that means.
@@AlphaRedruM I just got the notification that you responded to my comment. You called Tony ignorant and I responded to that. Dan wasn't paying those guys the way he said even Paul Orndorff said it. If want to name call we can go there too. But don't be reporting and accusing me of bullying you!!
Long story short…there is no short stories. I love listening to Tony talk. I’m just picturing James trying to figure out how he’s gonna jump in there 😅
I don't know why he says he's slow. I think Tony Atlas is one of the most intelligent wrestlers if not people on RUclips. He describes a very good perspective of a lot of incidences.
Idk if this is old and re-uploaded or what, but this was an awesome interview. For some reason Tony started giving a lot of information without even being questioned! He gave insight that I never knew… this was awesome.
I just emailed Steve WIlkos show and gave them background that Tony wants to be on show for lie detector test and linked the video here and Tony's contact info from the net for bookings
I love Tony and I've heard him tell these stories a million times he used to do a weekly show for mwf Boston wrestling anyway he still can't say embellishing but he tries every interview and I love it
Tony Atlas I can relate to having the Brain injury from Concussion along with Post Concussion issues. Neurologist told me it makes it difficult to learn new things. So I'll have to like repeat or ask something 3 or so times. Guy had a really good interview with Shane Douglas when talked about how was in the Home etc. He was really poor but actually had a really Positive time and view. Its cool he is into Feet as I think that helps reduce the stigma as YT censors or age restricts it. They claim to care about people but go out of their way to shaft any Feet or Toes etc. I can't even Press Slam a Beagle. Amazing he did that King Kong Bundy match or anybody. Vince I think would tell him he could win if was able to do that move on guys :). Great Body Builder Info too.
james I love your interviews, great job with Tony Atlas. Suggestion for you. I ran into Ron Simmons in the Atlanta airport once and had the best 5 minute conversation with him. If you sought him out you would have a $ interview on your hands. Good luck, wish you the best
Tony seeing trucks on the road that weren't there, and JYD freaking out telling him to pull over had me rollin. Fuji was fixin to get them killed. 😂🤣 Edit: forgot that years later, JYD WAS killed in a car accident. 😢
@@tomjones5650I always believed that Dutch is a main culprit in Brody's death. Even Bill Dundee said that you never talk to Dutch about anything! He's going to tell everybody. Dutch always stooged on the guys to put himself over with the big dogs and always failed. They ran him out of every major organization. He stooged Brody out to take over the bookings. And Savior Vega believes the same thing too.
I can confirm Charlie D'amico the Alexandria promoter indeed put Tony in a cage in the back of a truck, all greased up, and drove him around town with a megaphone as The Black Atlas
I could listen to Tony all day.
Me too Tony Altas is like the old janitor that saw everything 😂
You must be new on here because he tells the same damn stories over and over .
It doesn't matter he is a funny m-fer. The water gun story. lmfao😅😂
@@tomjones5650not only is Tony funny he is honest. He tells the same stories and they never change
@@nazgul12000Then why are you listening?
People don't realize how intelligent and seasoned he is.
Tony always gives a great interview
ALWAYS !
Makes me miss Dan Mirade. Loved his shows with Tony and also Marty. Good hear Tony again.
Absolutely lmao
I miss Dan too, him & Tony were great together so much fun, great times
I still daydream on my sub feed, that one day MWF will post a video, and Dan is OK. Very sad...
Rip Dan
Dan Mirade and Tony were gold together. James should do a series with Tony.
I defy anyone to find a more insightful, entertaining, honest, detailed, and intelligent pro wrestler than Mr. Tony Atlas. He is a natural storyteller and an absolutely brilliant historian of professional wrestling and the GOAT of wrestling interviewees, bar none!
I could listen to Mr USA every week. Great podcast and hoping for a sequel, or maybe more .
People talk about Tony not being an honest person. The first 13 minutes, Tony speaks so much truth and puts it in a way that makes complete sense.
I’m glad to see Tony back in good spirits. Last time I seen him he was really upset and felt betrayed because of Dan Mirade (RIP)
That shit was ugly and nasty, really unnecessary
Yeah I gotta say some of those interviews he did with Dan Mirade were hilarious, I really enjoyed those . .
It's too bad they couldn't have reconciled before Dan's passing.
I remember when he went off about his social security check 😮
Tony Atlas 💪🏼. Thanks Tony for inspiring me to train and stay strong throughout my life
His self depreciation and honestly is so refreshing. He is an AMAZING story teller and a Special Human being!
Iron Sheik saving Tony Atlas life and Ole Anderson saying don’t save him because your heel you’ll be fired is such a bizarre story Sheik is such a legend god bless him
This was great, there needs to be a part 2!
This is great he just goes off! If I am ever in a car wreck I hope nobody brings out the ''jaws of death''. Tony Atlas on every week, please. Would also love to see Dutch try to get a word in on him as well. Great stuff!
Why? so he can tell the same stories over and over .
Jaws of Death😅😂lmao

Thanks Tony.
I shook hands with Tony at a McDonalds after a match.He was with Tito Santana.Mad respect for acknowledging a fan.
Talking to Tony two hours feels like 30 minutes he is a great guest. That why Mirade milked him to death.
Glad You Back Tony ✨👌🏽✨. Hope Your Wife is doing Fine👍🏽✅
Finally the real Bruiser Brody story in great detail. Thank you Tony Atlas
Mr. USA Tony Atlas... The Man of the Hour... The Man with the Power 💪🏾💪🏾🇺🇲 Bigger Gunns than an artillery battalion!! 💪🏾💪🏾
Reminds me of my late grandpa who used to hold court at Christmas entertaining the family. Stories that went on for hours. Great times
TA had me in tears laughing at times in this interview 😂😂😂😂
I grew up watching Tony. My fondest memories because I would spend every weekend with my grandpa and we both loved wrestling. Tony used to bench 500 lbs on the show sometimes. He was a super hero in my eyes. Great memories.
He still is in my book his teancity his passion for this business

Please keep these Tony Atlas interviews coming!! he's literally The last of a dying breed.
Just to add to that. He seems very smart to me. He was very understandable and precise. This man k owns the business…
Enjoyed hearing Tony's stories. Bring him back!!
Tony is completely awesome
about 1 hour and 17 min in - Tony entions that no one turned up at Mean Jean's funeral - does anyone know why? or can you get Tony back on to elaborate?
ps this guys been through so many era's you should really think about having him on regularly - hes totally fascinating
DDP has also spoken about Mean Gene’s funeral 😢
Longtime fan of Tony's weekly show on MWF Boston Wrestling.

Tony has a good way about him. Used to watch him when he wrestled down South with Paul Jones and Bobo Brazil. Always an interesting show.
Great interview with Tony Atlas!! Would like to see a part 2.
Best wrestling storyteller ever. I've missed Tony's podcasts
Tony makes any interviewer good. So funny so honest. To crazy to lie.
That and he would say himself that he isn't smart enough to lie either. And his life has been so crazy he doesn't need to
I can tell the difference between Coke and "Pupsi"
You are an excellent interviewer. And Tony's a legend. 💪
I'd love to hear Ken Patera in your show someday. He was the ultimate heel next to the Iron Sheik!
Good to have Tony back on RUclips
Fantastic interview. It was highly entertaining. Thank you James.
So refreshing to hear someone gets old school wrestling..please have Tony back..I could listen to him all day
I don't know why Tony Atlas Cuts himself down. I think he is very intelligent and he explains things very well with a good perspective.
Man every single one of these shoots are absolutely fucking amazing .cheers
Jaws of death lol its jaws of life. Still love ya tony. Lol
It’s bout time James , Thanks
TX love’s u Tony, u tha man👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for the interview Tony, this brings back alot of great memories.

Wow! Tony Atlas!! I remember watching him on WWF TV back in the early 80s!! One of the strongest pro-wrestlers ever!
You've definitely got to get Tony for a second interview.
I love Tony. Simply the best. 😊👍❤
This was So Awesome. 🙂💪🤘💪💯
Tony just seems like a nice down to earth guy
I just emailed Steve WIlkos show and gave them background that Tony wants to be on show for lie detector test and linked the video here and Tony's contact info from the net for bookings
Always 1 of the best
Tony is always a good listen good stuff.
YAAASSSSSSS THANK YOU FOR FULL VERSION
Big Tony is great - thanks for the interview ❤
Tony Atlas Mr. USA🇺🇸💯💪🏾👊🏾💥
I love Tony and I've heard him tell these stories a million times he used to do a weekly show for mwf Boston wrestling anyway he still can't say embellishing but he tries every interview and I love it
James, this was one of your best interviews! Interesting though, not one mention of Rocky Johnson. 🤔
Dude is from near my hometown. He's grew up some 30 minutes west of me in Roanoke, Virginia.
Tony is the best old wrestling story teller!
Green Kool-aid tasted the same as Red and Blue Kool-aid?
Poor James he just listing Tony like my dad just start on the right finish on the left lol
Tony can really talk and talk damn, need to get him back to get to the rest of the questions
Great interview with Tony bro. Keep up the great work
Wwe needs to hire Tony to coach some of young guys.
Won't work out. Those kids will only insult Tony and embarrass him in the dirt sheets.
Madder than a horn toad. I love Atlas.
nice full shoot interview - (2 hours ) !!!
This was great!!!
Tony is such a genuinely nice and entertaining dude

ATLAS IS SUCH A GREAT SHOOT STORY TELLER! HIS RECOUNTS OF BRODY ALWAYS MAKES ME SAD, BUT ITS REAL BELIEVABLE
Stacked, jacked, chiseled & pumped
FINALLY!
One of the best
After listening to TONY yayo all yesterday, next up: THE GREAT TONY ATLAS.
Tony is awesome
Stillnin great shape. Always tells a good story
Love Tony
What's the time-stamp for the feet talk?
They killed Razor. Tony story never changes
james I love your interviews, great job with Tony Atlas. Suggestion for you. I ran into Ron Simmons in the Atlanta airport once and had the best 5 minute conversation with him. If you sought him out you would have a $ interview on your hands. Good luck, wish you the best
Great interview
When people lie , the details of the story will change. Tony's details on Brody's murder never changed.
Tony seeing trucks on the road that weren't there, and JYD freaking out telling him to pull over had me rollin. Fuji was fixin to get them killed. 😂🤣
Edit: forgot that years later, JYD WAS killed in a car accident. 😢
Tony said Dutch needs to get out of the house more LOLOL
That thumbnail lol
Everything he said about working an arm, selling, is all true. They sell it for maybe MAYBE two minutes and that’s it.
James need to tell Dutch he lives in a box and always did!!
Dutch Sucks. P F-IN U.
@@tomjones5650I always believed that Dutch is a main culprit in Brody's death. Even Bill Dundee said that you never talk to Dutch about anything! He's going to tell everybody.

No one showed up @ mean gene funeral. I just can’t believe it
Tony 'Doctor Scholls' Atlas
I miss the old days when you could be walking in the store randomly ran into ivan koloff in walmart in Clinton nc.
I don’t remember Tony in the LA or SF territories
I can confirm Charlie D'amico the Alexandria promoter indeed put Tony in a cage in the back of a truck, all greased up, and drove him around town with a megaphone as The Black Atlas
Would love a part 2 gotta love Tony he is so entertaining!
He might be slow in school but he's a wrestling savant
Tony, remember Casey Viator?
FROM CARLOS COLON???? LOL!!!
