What Atlas describes is not unique to wrestling at the time. I'm a black man who graduated from college in the late '80's and I've been stabbed in the back a lot by black colleagues who see other blacks as competition for promotions.
It was pretty common because minorities and women often see themselves competing for one spot. Back in the day there weren’t going to be many spots
Study 48 laws of power to see stuff like that before ir happens
Willie Lynch teachings.
It’s amaziuthat we can feel more threatened and insecure by the perceived strength and likability of someone who looks like us. It’s almost like believing all the negative things people say about people like you, except you’re the lone exception and must prove it until you’re OJ or Tiger
I myself, an African American can relate to our own stabbing us in the back instead of working together. It's a form of black-on-black crime or tribalism. Truth be told, that's why some of us are so messed up. What Tony talked about and what you have described about your past, I've dealt with the very same scenarios in the work place.
Those brothers from the 70's like Tony, rocky, and Butch Reed were in phenomenal shape💪🏼
yup,and guys like ivan putski looked like cartoons
Had to be to get in
Had to be just so they could make their way to mid-card in wwf because we all know vince wasn't putting the belt on anyone who didn't have blonde hair back then
@@douggambill5826 but they were ALL taking the same vitamins if they wanted to make cash with Vince.
@@teller1290 amen
I got to be one of the kids in the ring with Junk Yard Dog! I was a lucky kid growing up. Thanks Grandpa....I miss you.
Every time I watch these Boston Wrestling videos I have the same two thoughts, Tony Atlas is a great story teller, and the jerk interviewing him needs to shut up and stop interrupting him every time he's making a point.
My favorite Tony story is the story of him and Paul Orndorff getting into a fight because Paul didn't like him eating ribs in the car. He said Paul was very short fused in those days.
Rocky Johnson was just doing what he needed to do and take care of his family............and his girlfriend.
😂😂😂
Booooooooooooooo
Never depend on anyone for a ride to work.
Lol facts
It's different with wrestlers in the 80s & 70s. The money they were making, they better had been 4 deep in the car & hotel room. Lol
I knew a guy that used to work for the local auto company and went to work every day well into his 70's. He only retired bc his ride to work retired.
My grandma got a ride to work every day to a high school an was a janitor,she retired at 65 an died in 19 at 91,she was paid do you read me PAID,she had more that 100 thousand in her bank accounts so you can depend on what you want if you DEPEND on yourself THE most it won't matter what you don't have or do, just do YOU an the game will be good to YOU
@@kapoveli1310 FACTS💯
Mr USA Tony Atlas always a treat to hear you
Tony atlas has to be the most humble wrestler of all time
I met him in Florida that laugh you can hear for a mile. Humble funny . Tallahassee mall. Hu hu hu
Idk Kamala was too
I like how during the invader 1 situation . He wanted to help but dam those dirty cops.
FACTS
I concur. He’s Definitely a humble Man
I've been watching Tony Atlas since I was 5 or 6 years old
I've been watching since swimming in my dad's sack
@Adam Decobrey I'm Fourtay 🤣
Me also
Hey Tony back 8n the early 80s you was with your son at a carnival right near Coop City in the Bronx. My buddy and I was in the glass house and I accidentally bumped into you and hit the floor. You helped me up. 30 seconds later my friend tells me "you know who that was? That was Tony Atlas Mr.U.S.A. Man I crashed into so many mirrors trying to get out. When we got out you and your son was heading to the double ferris wheel. I didn't approach you but that memory will live with me forever. You was my favorite wrestler. Glad to see your doing well.
This is why the New Day, the Hurt Business and so many other Black groups mean so much to us cause they stick together
I have long been a Tony Atlas fan; have always wanted him to have a bigger impact on WWE than he has.. He has great stories
Remember this. Every man for him self and God for us all. Don't depend on anyone.
Yes but love thy neighbor my boi
@@yungglobe4591 always✊
Good advice my brother from another mother
Very wise young man...
@@smoothmisticmike7040 thanks bro!
I met Tony a few times in NY back in the late 70's and early 80's. I was a young wrestling fan who would hang out at the hotel before and after the MSG shows. Tony was always cool with me. He never came across as full of himself like some other wrestlers. One of my favs from the golden era.
How did you know which hotels they'd be at?
@@noskoolikeoldskool We lived a block away from the hotels and a friend told me he saw them checking in. We ran there as soon as he said that. I then found out that they worked out at a gym 2 blocks from there and I joined the gym just to be able to work out with them. My stepdad became close friends with Pedro Morales and he agreed to have me live with him in PR while he trained me. Unfortunately, I got caught up in the club scene at the same time and partying was more important. Error of youth. Or not. I'm happy with my life.
Rocky Johnson looks like those House Niggas , that say " look I'm better than Them' County boy niggas" to Impress Mr. White
Being from Philadelphia they defended titles against Piper and Muraco in Feb 1984. The following month March 1984 defended against Fugi and Tiger Chung Lee. Guess he forgot.
A quick search of WWE houses in late 83 early 84 show quite a lot of appearances together so where he gets 3 only he knows
@@bleeding4721 Yea. Seems like a great guy but clueless sometimes. Lol
He had his wife and kid in one hotel room and his girlfriend in the other room... DAMN !
I read his book and he mentioned Rocky leaving him and other bad things but retracted after Rocky died
"Rocky was late because he had his wife and son in one room and his girlfriend in the other...I almost caught a ride with Sika." Sir...💀. LoL!
I remember when Tony Atlas came on the NWA scene billed as Black Atlas wearing a Black mask and black Trunks. He was ripped with muscles but was so tongue tied it was a strain to hear him talk. He put fourth an effort to learn how to the better interviews and do each improvement. He was just a young muscle bound kid in the beginning but really learned a lifetime of experiences during I enjoy hearing his tales of his past adventures now.
I knew JYD his daughter and I was in school together we were best friends God Bless her soul as well and my mom went 2 school with JYD and he had a crush on her but my mom was like he was a giant she shyed from him 😂 Anson county NC wow it was like magic seeing him, Sting, Flair, Cornette at our elementary school plays wow Good times
You think the childen of the JYD will become wrestlers?
@@Mr.Majestic77 nah one has passed and the other is not into wrestling
@@godchef20 bless her soul
@@mitchellaimss1924 yea thanks on the night of our high school graduation Me Sylvester Ritter bka JYD died in a car crash on the way to a wrestling event in Tenn and 2 yrs later my good great friend died I miss her sooo hope I gave you a little insight thank you god bless
@@godchef20 Yes you did and I definitely appreciate the time you took out to give me your story
When I was 12 years old my favorite thing was watching wrestling on Saturday. Tony became and was my hero . I watched him when he wrestled Hulk Hogan for the Belt and he pinned Hogan and the ref raised his hand and gave Tony the belt . I was jumping up and down around the living room screaming at the top of my lungs. My hero my hero just won the belt only to get it taken right there live Tv because they said Hogans leg was on the rope. This broke my heart so bad I WAS DEVASTATED and never watched wrestling ever again not even one match.
Mark 🤣
The crazy part is what the fuck was the pay like to where Tony Atlas, a star in the wrestling world, couldn't afford a car?!
Probably was pissing away his money
@@umagnus77 nAaaw they didn't get paid much back then.
Thanks for the video, BOSTON WRESTLING MVF
Man when i was a kid rocky and atlas was my favorite team .... we loved em but we never realized they only defended the title once....the whole battle between the wild samoans was awesome!!!!
Every job has people like that. So and so said this about you. Trust no one at your job
When New Jack was killing this guy in a shoot interview I was laughing my ass off
Chasing Steve Corino around.
That is because new jack knew that he was and still is a mark
White boys stayed clowning this fool
I used to talk to Tony at World Gym East in Hamden, CT in the early to mid 80's. Great guy.
Atlas keeping it 1000%
GOD bless Tony for being humble, forgiving and having understanding. But Rocky now knows:
There will be a Judgment Day.......
These are soooooo great
Great man
The more that comes out about Rocky Johnson, the less I like him, and that’s saying something as I already think he was a garbage human being.
Have some respect for the man he is deceased.
Just like the rock 😏
Don't let the Rock hear you
@@lucky-sz4eq Doesnt matter if he's alive or dead , this guy thought of him as a garbage human being . Why is it when someone is dead , people think all the sudden the person who's deceased is amazing and you should show respect?? Whoever the person was that was a piece of shit, still is a piece of shit dead . Just sayin ...
@@paulnightwolf9043 Yeah Hollywood props him up . More and more I see his true colors , I dont really care for him .
SD Jones's name gets brought up so often in these shoots that he should be on the show. Unfortunately, he has passed on. But, imagine the stories he could tell from his point of view.
Boston Wrestling MWF has great content!
Respect to Mr. Atlas :)
Tony is a true human being, a true legend and top notch shoot interview you can truly trust. When I hear him tell of the old days I feel like I hear the truth of history.
I was never the biggest wrestling fan but I would tune in when Tony Atlas and Superfly Jimmy Stucum would Wrestle
Wow thats crazy
I wanted to hear his reflections on bad news brown, butch reed, and George Wells
Like father Like son
T. Atlas very classy being able to see thru the BS but still able to not hold any grudges...
Damn Rocky Sr...WoW!...but Tony would have obviously did the same thing u can tell by his reply.......doesn’t matter the times tho...Stand Up bro be real...smh no integrity...no excuses
Why did they have to ride in the same car together, so that the fans can see how "close" they are? For something as important as the attendance of the talent, you'd think a company would rent a van or something.
The only one who didn't do that to me ...names off 3 dudes 😂 tony a trip
He didn’t have to tell the listeners Rocky Johnson business even if it was over25 30 years ago. Got Dwayne and his Mother in one room...his girl in the next. Fucked up. R.I.P Rocky Johnson.
Hell from my understanding Vince McMahon said worse about Rocky at his own funeral.
@@gregorylevi1826 damn, seriously?
@@southernking5285 yep, Rocky's family didn't invite Tony but Vince was the one they probably shouldn't have invited.
It was fucked up on Rocky's part . He was the one that did it . lol
Gregory Levi What did Vince say? Is there somewhere I can read about it? I haven't heard about this and would love to find out what was said. If Vince spoke ill about him at his funeral then I wonder how Dwayne feels about it. Please give details.
Didn't realize the SNL skit had this much depth.
🙏💙💙💙
Funny how people nowadays seem to know more than the very person involved, wow the ignorance.
Is it as funny as you believing every word he say's ?
Tony..your memory is off..it was quite a few more than 3..like this here:3/5/84 Salisbury, MD. Hulk Hogan vs David Schultz, Andre The Giant/Ivan Putski vs The Wild Samoans, Tony Atlas/Rocky Johnson vs Paul Orndorff/Roddy Piper & more.
Wowww
5:55
Tony, you were a grown ass man. You should have had your own car.
The rock tv show Brought me here
Dam tony snitched hardbody😂😂😂
@Arnold Anderson nah im saying tony really snitched
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I pretty sure I saw a match of tony atlas rocky Johnson and some body else against piper orndorff and David Shultz I’m gonna have to check now
You're likely correct, Tony's history is off on that. They weren't teaming together every night but it wasn't as rare as he made it out to be. Still odd for tag champs not to be teaming almost if not every night.
They teamed a lot and defended the titles a lot. I saw them defend the belts against Piper and Shultz in the Garden in April 1984. If you go to the History of the WWF online, you will see they teamed a lot and defended the belts a ton especially against the Samoans, Adonis and Murdoch, Tiger Chung Lee and Mr. Fuji and any combinations of Roddy Piper, David Shultz and Paul Orndorff.
@@philipclarke9696 His memory is off here, but to be fair, they did not work as a team as regularly as most tag champions, they did do a lot separate events as singles, but worked as a team and defended the titles far more than he claims.
I would imagine that not that much has changed for black guys in the locker room nowadays too. From viewing these old-stories, you could piece together that the NOD vs. Ahmed Johnson thing was of the same ilk, maybe.
Legends "Dream" Match:
Tony Atlas & Rocky Johnson
vs.
Badnews Brown & Brickhouse Brown.
They ain't gonna put this on The Rock's new show. Lol
Sitting up watching these interview the last few days I realize there's only a few African American wrestlers left from the late 60's to 70's mid 80's

@@blakelip3 he on there
Bruce Lee told Tony to be like water ...so he did just that
👍
Tony do u remember the spectrum against piper and Muraco feb 1984. Do u remember against Murdoch and Adonis Kiel auditorium when u were stuck in the corner and they were stomping u in the head .also the one rocky had a bandage around his when it was bleeding. And the again in the spectrum against Fuji and tiger Chung lee . We need better and interviewers and others to call tony out on this his memory is fried
Just think if tony atlas could have won the us intercontinental or even the north american titles then he could have been the first black world champion before ron simmons
i wouldnt trade a dozen rocky jhonsons for one tony atlas...
Whatever happened to hacksaw Butch Reed
Wow, the WWF work atmosphere sure was toxic! Not unusual for the 1980’s - but you still gotta wonder, does someone who created that toxic of an atmosphere deserve to be a millionaire?
Sabotagin'-ass Rocky Johnson.
That's not true. They teamed in the Philadelphia Spectrum in Jan of 1984. I saw the 8 man match vs the samoans and sgt slaughter. Andre, snuka, atlas, and Rocky johnson. I saw it live and remember it to this day Snuka jumping off Andres shoulders.
They should not refer to Tony Atlas as the Unpredictable One for in the world of Wrestling the only 1 that has earned that title is the 1996 WWE Hall of Famer the Unpredictable One Jonny Rodz. And that is with all due respect to Tony Atlas.
Did Tony have any dealings with Butch Reed?
Maybe, but one thing for sure is he’s had a lot of dealings with women’s shoes.
@ Jabarii Urbane, I can relate 👠.., I like when they wear open toe.
@ jamie bairos, FUN TIMES!!
They teamed in the fall of 1984 for Pro Wrestling USA in Memphis. Teamed a few times at least, maybe more.
@@Sean_78 😂🤣
shit Starbucks coffee is expensive 😁
Tony Atlas is wrong, he & Rocky defended the tag team titles quite a few times before they lost them.
No..... They didn't.
@@shanepolk4491 3/5/84 Salisbury, MD. Hulk Hogan vs David Schultz, Andre The Giant/Ivan Putski vs The Wild Samoans, Tony Atlas/Rocky Johnson vs Paul Orndorff/Roddy Piper & more.
@@bleeding4721 I stand corrected.....
Sorry 😞 but no excuses. When you put speed bumps in your fellow brothers path we all eventually sink together
😀😀
Blacks in wrestling is like blk comics in stand up and hollywood like the highlander, there can only be one.
Slow down on the adds. The screen is way too busy, and frankly makes the channel hard to watch. Just saying
Can appreciate that, Robert, but we need to keep the lights on. Over on www.patreon.com/bostonwrestling, you get early, ad free access and directly help keep the legends working, which is what they need.
@fvckyutube ok troll boy
@@bostonwrestlingcom the motive of any channel is to be successful and make money, my opinion is that screen is so distracting it drives as many people away as it draws in regardless of content. I watch all your videos so not hating it's simply a suggestion/opinion. Imagine watching ESPN and instead of the ticker on the bottom of the screen taking up 5-10% of the screen they made it 50%? I've never seen another channel on RUclips or TV do it that way. Anyhow best of luck
@@robertb4075 appreciate the respectful POV. We've looked at it like if fans can always simply listen to it as a podcast if too distracting.
@@bostonwrestlingcom ok good luck in 2021
This is why Rikishi ran over Stone Cold Steve Austin.
That's why Dwayne is such a Dbag apple don't fall far from the tree.
While you sit on the couch eating chips being a keyboard warrior.
Im sure vader aint popping on this show
It's sad to hear there was only room for 1 black star explains why it was so competitive JYD & Rocky were really popular so they had no choice but to dog Tony out. Its similar to other industries like comedy, they only have room for 1 black comedian at the top. Dave Chapelle tells how he was tryna get a show the exec says to his face 'we have Chris Rock, why do we need u?'
Was never a rocky johnson fan and his son's just likem
Potty with motty is always good
Rocky stopped dealing with Tony because he was strung out on crack. Tony was sneaking out after the shows and couldn't be found. He even owed Rocky money, which he forgave him for. Smh Tony should be ashamed of himself, always lying.
Seems like every wrestler loves to tell THEIR side of everything when it comes to these interviews
And Rock’s wife divorced him so he couldn’t have been much of a saint himself
A 357 on a 44 Frame. END OF STORY.. RIP BUTCH REED...!!!!!
I can't respect no man that's does those thing to another man cause u feel threatened by them should had work together too much of that goes on at too many jobs
Wow, this guy is a habitual liar!, Atlas I saw y'all defend the belts numerous times, an missed other times!, you lying over silly stuff doesn't change reality!, Geesh, this guy!!!
FERST
It's a shame Tony and rocky were a great tag team!
They made it so harder for black men,an young buck's were replacing him. MAYBE the Rock I luv him giv him an aportunity so he stop being salty
I have a question, can Tony Atlas drive? Always remember, Self Preservation is the first law of nature, js.
Black folks be late for dey funeral lol
JYD was dry snitchin'!
He is still dirty....
He def dry snitched smh
well with that long ass stupid intro i fell asleep and missed if atlas was even on here..
J
Tony is so full of BS lol
How is Tony Atlas going to come and do an interview, and smear Rocky Johnson's name like that.
And the late legend isn't here, to defend himself, from a salacious allegation.
This interview was produced while he was still alive.
Tony talks too much
Tony was a boring wrestler
No he wasn't
The jumping head butt...standing dropkick...over head punch/double over head punch...you could predict everything he would do..all of his matches
@@paulfields4158 that was wrestling in the 70s and 80s lol heck Hulk Hogan was a terrible wrestler technically but he had such a larger than life persona that he owned the 80s
Jacques Smith I was a huge Hulkamaniac when I was a kid and you're absolutely right about him being just an okay wrestler. As a kid I didn't realize it because of how popular he was but he pretty much only had like 3 moves. His most impressive feat/best match was when he body slammed Andre the Giant. He was John Cena before John Cena.
As a grown man he has a whole lot of excuses and zero accountability for his own actions....
