In the WWF, HTM drew money with Jake. He drew money with Savage. He drew money with Beefcake. He drew money with Warrior. The guy was a big star who knew how to get heat.
He was a big star in the 80’s problem is he kind peaked around 88/89 and never really got back on top again. He still thought he was a huge star right up to like 2010, when in reality he’d spent 20 years with a short gig in WCW then scratching a living on the indies and doing drunk (but hilarious) shoot interviews to make cash. He was solid upper mid card, never main event material in his heyday.
I love seeing from any interview (I am a wrestling fan as well as a rap fan so I love seeing legends stay consistent when they bounce from platform to platform telling their stories)
As a kid I hated Honky!! As a 19-21 year old I hated JBL!! Now I'm 37 Ive loved these two for years now🤣 Appreciate it!! I also hated Jim Cornette now love him lol. LEGENDS!! Cheers from New Zealand 🍺🍻
I have always loved the 🐓💩 heels. The kind of wrestler that would beg his opponent for mercy and intentionally hit the ref to get disqualified to keep his title. Honky is one of the best of all time. Great show, gents.🤘
I could listen to HTM and Gerald talk all day about the good old days. I’ve decided Jerry and Jack are two of the greatest men the biz ever produced. Thank God for the Briscos.
Brisco and HTM, goatd podcast. you take me back to a place and time i wasnt even alive, but i could feel the realism. HTM the greatest shooter of aalllll time
Ehhh Shoutouts from Ontario Canada , huge fan of you know bradshaw....i used to hate you back in 2004-2008 "smackdown days" 😂😂😂 back when i was a kid....sheeesh..you were the best heel i ever personally watched, the way you talked and ragged on Rey Mysterio..really got to me 😂😂
I wish they would have put you with Lanny (The Genius) and gave you the Tag belts...That would have been heat and fun to watch how you kept the belts each week. You were both artist Poems and Songs and wins every week
Great show guys. Thank you for having maybe the best intercontinental champion of all time but definitely Wayne Farris gives the best shoot interviews of all time numbers don't lye.Wayne you need to go on Hannibal again the two of you have great chemistry that every shoot interview is a classic. There's no better collaboration than Hannibal and Wayne
I love these stories takes me straight back to my childhood and the wrestling magazines I would read and HTM was the biggest heel in WWF in 87&88 but he don’t get the credit he deserves
Legend! So good to see and hear handful of 80s wrestlers in good shape, good health, and feeding us nostalgia! These guys were superheroes in my eyes and they were global phenomenon.....trust me, I am not American.
The craziest thing is he ended up being a bigger star in the pro wrestling business than Jerry Lawler ever was. Because most fans today know Jerry Lawler as a commentator
Can't believe took me so long to find this great podcast. RUclips's algorithm not doing a good job, I watched wrestling stuff constantly and is the first time the podcast came up under recommended. Keep up the good work guys thanks.
Now that was a wrestling Podcast interview thank you and it was very well done. And Wayne Farris, answer all the questions I will subscribe I'm a fan of wrestling yesterday not today. And I appreciate this video ❤️
Idk if it's because HTM isn't a little sauced up but this is the calmest interview I've ever seen of his. There's nothing I love more than HTM heeling it up and shooting on everyone and their grannies but this version of him is a good interview too
I just discovered these interviews not that long ago. Out of all the ones I’ve seen this is by far the best after the one with Kane. Honky Tonk is such a great storyteller and so candid, someone who you could sit down with and have a beer with keep up the great work guys !!!!
I'm a huge Jim cornette podcast fan with Brian last but the stories with Briscoe and Bradshaw has taken first place I love this podcast nothing but pure entertainment and fun
HTM had a huge huge run in the 80s....he probably woulda been the top card at times if it weren't for hulkamania hoggin it up .... he had heat w legends like macho man, jake roberts, ultimate warrior, beefcake, and i wanna say tito santana& steamboat a lil bit too.... he was one of the kings of heat
Great show been watching wrestling since the 70s started in the old building in nashville i remember Lance showing tupelo match with honky on sat. Morning good memories your show tells the stories
Also as a kid I was a huge Elvis fan thanks to my Grandparents and my first memories of WWF was seeing this Elvis guy and because he was like Elvis I wanted to like Honky but I couldn't🤣 so confusing lol
I mean... when you think about it... is there really a dispute as far as who is the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time? He took a dead end gimmick and made it memorable to this day. That's why people hate what happened to the IC title compared to its heyday in the late 80s-mid 90s
Wayne probably got the most heat in his era as HTM ( 86-96 ), incredible. won’t see that again, it’s one of the last true heat before the business was totally exposed.
I wish Honky had been able to stay more relevant after dropping the belt to Warrior, and not going into the Rythm and Blues. He is so good at psycology, and as much as he wasn't the very best in the ring, boy his brain and his mouth did so much more work than his body. With The Mouth of the South, Honky was money! I learn a lot about the business listening to Honky and others like Bruce Prichard, as they talk so much sense about how to tell a story in the wrestling business. It is more about the mind than the muscles is what I have learnt, and sometimes you have to have a mind to work with the muscles to get the muscles over!!!
It’s crazy that wwe or aew doesn’t hire honky to do something in either company the guy is a wealth of knowledge and could really help the young talent heels especially get over
people may dislike bradshaw for being a bully but people forget the times they were in. i was in sport and it was normal at that time. people need to see it as a test, your either tough enough to take it and give some back or your not. if i was a promotor or one of the boys i wouldnt want someone who cant hold his own in my team. but i bet you this, as much of a bully he was, if anyone from the outside gave the boys shit for any reason he would be the one to stand for the boys. just one of those types of people. he will give you shit and tease you but he will also be the first one to defend you from any outside idiots.
He wrestled every one of note for that ic belt and would get a good hiding but sneak out with the gold even wrestled Bruno and Bruno beat the shit out of him . It's a shame they didn't make him and Greg Valentine tag team champions and do the same thing . That would make money

@@Dessan01 cant deny this information either lol. Sheeesh
the greatest ic champion of all time
The greatest interview of ALL TIME!
Without A doubt yell
I love HTM's storys, no bull! Everytime I hear one of his storys it always stays consistent and enjoyable!
I love seeing from any interview (I am a wrestling fan as well as a rap fan so I love seeing legends stay consistent when they bounce from platform to platform telling their stories)
Exactly when you tell the truth it's not hard to remember and doesn't change
I love HTM’s stories about the Herb Welch days of his career and all them Memphis boys like Lawler, Dr D, Jarrett, etc
Honky Tonk Man, king of the shoot interview!
Absolutely love Honky Tonk shoot interviews. The best
Great interview. The concession stand was pure genius.
As a kid I hated Honky!! As a 19-21 year old I hated JBL!! Now I'm 37 Ive loved these two for years now🤣 Appreciate it!! I also hated Jim Cornette now love him lol. LEGENDS!! Cheers from New Zealand 🍺🍻
Toni Storm is back in new zealand. 😍🔥
I have always loved the 🐓💩 heels. The kind of wrestler that would beg his opponent for mercy and intentionally hit the ref to get disqualified to keep his title. Honky is one of the best of all time. Great show, gents.🤘
HTM has some of the best interviews. I'm sure this one will be just as good! Seems likes he's really mellowed out.
This show is great thanks JBL and Gerry
I could listen to HTM and Gerald talk all day about the good old days. I’ve decided Jerry and Jack are two of the greatest men the biz ever produced. Thank God for the Briscos.
Love HTM, thank you guys so much for getting him on, hes a great laugh.
Honkeys got to be one of the best wrestler to interview. He’s traveled all over knows everybody and I couldn’t stand him when he wrestled
I truly believe the honky talk man is the most undoned wrestler in the world he deserves a lot more respect and recognition
Kidding me?
Honky Tonk Man is very recognized!
HTM always has the best stories! The man is entertaining as hell!!
I can listen to Honk all day
Great interview!!! Bring Honkytonk back for another interview!!!
Brisco and HTM, goatd podcast. you take me back to a place and time i wasnt even alive, but i could feel the realism. HTM the greatest shooter of aalllll time
What a Great Interview Thank you So Much!

I didn't care much for the honky tonk man in the day much but over the past decade Ive really began to appreciate him and love him really
Honky was there in 97, in the rumble in 98, then in 2001.
What an excellent interview. As usual, Honky was candid, yet tactful.
Great show guys. Thank you for having maybe the best intercontinental champion of all time but definitely Wayne Farris gives the best shoot interviews of all time numbers don't lye.Wayne you need to go on Hannibal again the two of you have great chemistry that every shoot interview is a classic.

You Betcha
Idk if it's because HTM isn't a little sauced up but this is the calmest interview I've ever seen of his. There's nothing I love more than HTM heeling it up and shooting on everyone and their grannies but this version of him is a good interview too
I can listen to Wayne talk 24 7 lol I'm a song and dance guy
truly great if only we had stars like this today with this kind of ability these show are better than tv !!!!
I just discovered these interviews not that long ago. Out of all the ones I’ve seen this is by far the best after the one with Kane. Honky Tonk is such a great storyteller and so candid, someone who you could sit down with and have a beer with keep up the great work guys !!!!
Wow! HTM ditched the Jeff Bridges look.
I'm a huge Jim cornette podcast fan with Brian last but the stories with Briscoe and Bradshaw has taken first place I love this podcast nothing but pure entertainment and fun

Love seeing HTM! Gives the Truth about the wrestling business.
HTM is one of the most memorable wrestlers of all time. Great interview.
Also as a kid I was a huge Elvis fan thanks to my Grandparents and my first memories of WWF was seeing this Elvis guy and because he was like Elvis I wanted to like Honky but I couldn't🤣 so confusing lol
Honky Tonk Man was that guy you LOVED TO HATE.........and it worked.
love this guy ...the way he describes savage walking around looking around for him it was classic
Excellent interview!
This episode make me subscribe. Can’t believe I’ve subscribed to a JBL show. O
I would have never thought seeing Wayne Ferris (one of the Blonde Bombers) make it out of Memphis to make the big stage.
Great interview!
Incredible. Honky is a gem.
Great interview
I really enjoyed your conversation, they going to do the briscoes are my favorite wrestlers of all time
HTM is a legend! One of my all time favorites
Good to see all these guys doing well.
One of the greatest when it comes to shoot interviews yell
Very entertaining
Great show fellas keep it up
When Honky said of his dealings with Ultimate Warrior. I'm not a fighter guys "I'm a Song & Dance Man" I freaking lost it 😂😂😂😂😭.LOL
Wayne was true to his word, and true to pro wrestling!❤
I mean... when you think about it... is there really a dispute as far as who is the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time? He took a dead end gimmick and made it memorable to this day.
That's why people hate what happened to the IC title compared to its heyday in the late 80s-mid 90s
I like how this channels playlists are set up with videos that involve the person that is being inteeviewed
Nice work, fella's.
Honky just had to take a jab at Jake Roberts lol.
The greatest intercontinental champion so true!!!
Wayne probably got the most heat in his era as HTM ( 86-96 ), incredible. won’t see that again, it’s one of the last true heat before the business was totally exposed.
Greatest intercontinental champion of all time. The Honky Tony Man...
I enjoy the old Wrestling stories
When Honky played 🎸 guitar n Hart played keyboard 🎹, they had a sign saying ELVIS WHO?? 😂 😆 LOL
Being from the same area of Tn as Wayne I love his Southern drawl. I have had people in New Joesee tell me I talk funny
Honky Tonk man is the best
The best ever, should have had a Championship run 👏👏
Long side burns and hair slicked back.
Honky was only in the ring for 30 seconds when he had matches with Warrior .....
I wish Honky had been able to stay more relevant after dropping the belt to Warrior, and not going into the Rythm and Blues. He is so good at psycology, and as much as he wasn't the very best in the ring, boy his brain and his mouth did so much more work than his body. With The Mouth of the South, Honky was money!

Tell that to blue meanie and others, Stevie Richard's and couple others straightedge Bradshaw out.
Ah man I miss his white hair and beard
Hard to get a word in there with Honky but still a very good interview.
I saw a rumble and John Layfield came out of comertry went in and straight out .and they said it was his first Rumble appearance
Last time I saw HTM on RUclips he had long white beard. Glad he shaved it he looks better.
His IC run deserved more time. Had serious heat that has rarely been matched since.
It ended as perfect as could be and is still the longest reign ever, when would you have ended it?
He wrestled every one of note for that ic belt and would get a good hiding but sneak out with the gold even wrestled Bruno and Bruno beat the shit out of him . It's a shame they didn't make him and Greg Valentine tag team champions and do the same thing . That would make money
@@leemarshall674 he could have had an actual angle to lose it
@@chrisblester37 i appreciate every heel so much more now that it's a lost art
Honky Tonk man always talks sense.
Mr Honky?😂😂
$999? That ain't a thousand.
jbl looks lost
Man Wayne was really cool in this interview. His old “heel,” shoot persona was getting a bit stale haha. Or maybe I’d seen them all too many times
Need a book and a map to keep up.
Love your show. But at the end of each one I feel like I got to wipe my phone clean from Briscoes saliva.
Will you do something about his crappy mic.
Barry was the top babyface for Knoxville.
WAIT .... YOU SAID THE GREATEST INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMP ... I DONT SEE THE MIZ!?!?!
He should have been the leader of the NWO...
That would have been neat
JBL looks like he's lost a ton of size & weight. 🤔
Hes 54 years old. An hes not a wrestler anymore so yeah..he just looks like a normal guy
I have a love hate thing going with HTM
Honky is the best.
