Jim Cornette on Happy Humphrey

[@daveconleyportfolio5192]

Jim left out the best part. Humphrey was in the Guinness Book not because he was the heaviest man ever, but because he lost the most weight. He slimmed down from 800 to 232!

[@DeeEllEff]

Talk about the “Biggest Loser.” How much you drop? Three. 3 lbs? No. 3 kgs? No, 3 PEOPLE!

[@marcpower4167]

He put some back on though, as I recall when he died he was about 540 lbs

[@BigEvan96]

I saw him give Harley Race a top rope Frankensteiner in 73.

[@FuttBuckerson87]

Im that period he was a lot thinner. 260-270

[@bradnimbus4836]

Crazy! Literally just left the wikipedia pages of Race and Happy Humphrey!

[@hacksawusa]

i'm still laughing at the Martin "The Blimp" Levy reference!!

[@quentinkaasa47]

Laughing? It was just a name drop.

[@greedyd5524]

I remember the stories of Andre on a girl. This guy would kill em

[@shockedjeanshepard]

I did that big boy back in 61. Lifted his FUPA and feasted on his undercheese.

[@smithmeister]

ShockedJean Shepard tickled his taint?

[@rumtuckskatter]

Now this a top quality troll account

[@shockedjeanshepard]

Taint tellin'!

[@shockedjeanshepard]

Curb your tongue, youngster! I'll give you a whoopin!

[@rushifellpainting4631]

*screams in terror*

[@meekrob]

Hmm. A wrestler more immobile than Haystacks Calhoun. Smell the money!

[@mrbadguysan]

meekrob people didn't care so much at the time.

[@SuperFunkmachine]

The younger and lighter Haystacks Calhoun.

[@gregoryhawkins9296]

I bet you could smell more than money! 🤢

[@ricdean4314]

i met Haystacks Calhoun he was a very nice man a great man

[@NoirFan01]

How do they take a bathroom break? Can they wipe their own a$$?

[@blackatheistmillionaire1636]

Jim, is there ANYTHING or ANYONE you DON'T know about in wrestling??? Your literally a fountain of information, just incredible!!!

[@toma.4808]

After all of that, nobody better dare question Harley Race's fortitude

[@FLIK510]

anyone point me where I can find the Harley Race interview mentioned at the start?

[@theWoodrow321]

I remember seeing him on the movie Moonrunners, which was the film that inspired, and was the so called pilot for the Dukes of Hazzard.

[@zombiefulci3301]

There was a man from North Carolina named Mills Darden that was much bigger than Humphrey, he stood 7'6" and weighed more than 1,100 lbs! And this was in the 1800's

[@official_deathcast]

I'm certain he and Calhoun had an interesting match.

[@ryanferensic7884]

Maybe 801lbs is good for a 12 foot frame not 6’1” lol

[@whatever_it_takes6691]

Not to be confused with the original Our Gang fat kid, Joe Cobb.

[@DeadKoby]

There exists some match footage of Mr. Humphrey here on youtube.

[@jasonsmith8300]

I try to always get the new guiness book

[@crevice5369]

his lightest weight when he was a pro wrestler was around 600 + his heaviest in life was 1008 pounds. although he was usually 802 give or take a few

[@__-wm9lu]

Doubt it

[@Timetravller1]

Old Happy lived In Augusta Ga same as Hulk Hogan and Big show

[@whitecloak11]

I saw a picture of happy and never heard of him so I went straight to corny to get the scoop and great stories.

[@MrPernell27]

Seems like Jim Cornette knows everyone and everything that has ever happened in the history of wrestling!!

[@ajstyles7961]

Correct, Jim knows everything.

[@mikemiller539]

That’s so corny

[@jasonsmith8300]

and it is fascinating

[@nooneinparticular5273]

Ah, Harley Race is the coolest ever.

[@ricdean4314]

Man Mountain Mike was just as big

[@thedevilsmilk]

So Harley at 15 probably got bad memories

[@steveawesome7834]

Humphrey actually lived to be like 65 years old

[@FuttBuckerson87]

Got a few years back when he lost 500 plus pounds

[@masterj4777]

Amazing 🤣

[@canedewey756]

[@grimmcalypso396]
