His classic heel, two-part Tony Atlas strength contest in the old NWA territory, Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling, was absolutely hilarious. I think it's still on here.
Patera is definitely on the "yeah it's a work, but don't fuck with that guy" list. Mr. Nash is right, he should have walked...with the tape and his money.
@@clayton5584 Yeah, that was what Ken said but every wrestler that knows him facetiously says "had to be one really strong kid to pick up a boulder that size and throw it that far"...insinuating that it was Ken.
Sad part about that story is it happened in my hometown at the time. Waukesha WI. was notorious for being tough on the wrestlers that went out on the town after events. I spent my share of time partying in that town, but wasn't in jail when Patera was. The day Mark Chamira from the Green Bay Packers got arrested I was though. Good times!
Ken Patera , Olympic gold medal weight lifter , maybe the strongest wrestler of his time , but he wasn't that great of a wrestler , not saying he wasn't good , but he certainly wasn't one of the GREATEST
500lb standing overhead press. Was the first person in history to do it in a competition
Dear Nash: go do more time in jail, because you were found there...lucky that you were 7 feet, or you would be rotting in jail....
"Clean and Jerk" is what it is in the Olympics.
@@Bilytkidback then there were 3 lifts in olympic weightlifting, the overhead press was removed in 1974
@@robdemare8250what the hell ?
@@PaulShaw-ex7riKen Patrea definitely has a very bad temper
“Whipped me like a red-headed step son!” That Ken Patera shoot interview is gold too!
Only American ever to Clean and Press 500 in competition.
Legit athlete beyond powerhouse pure heat
Loved watching Ken in the 80s. Glad he wore a few straps in his day.
His spinning full nelson was absolutely brutal. He doesn't get the respect he deserves. He's very overlooked.
You have to get Patera on the podcast. It will be epic.
If you gonna have Ken Patera on you better have some beer on ice.

"Get your money ahead of time" just like K-Dawg, eh, Sean?
"You want me to choke you out now, or later?"
😂😂
ken patera is hilarious and one of the greatest of all time
Me: hey Kevin how are you?
Kevin: fuuuuuck
Patera is the last truly great American Olympic superheavyweight weightlifter...
lol. His old shoot interviews are epic.

Who was the guy with the daiquiri? Feinstein?
Had to be a strong guy to pick up that boulder and throw it that far.
A teenage kid did it cause he got fired

Ken Patera is gonna get asked about that incident of him being arrested until the day he dies, he need to just deal with.
"He was a 500 pounds benchpress fu**er". 😂
Actually he was a 565 lbs bencher

Another guy Hogan could have feuded with over the belt. Feud being where he actually loses the belt to get it back.
They feuded, Hogan won, kept title.
Cheeseburger is also one of the nicest people that i have personally met in wrestling

Holy shit that's the YouShoot guy!
No shit....Where u been Lmao

I used to date Ken Pateras nice. Never met him though.
I respect Patera,but every time i see an interview w/him,he just talks so slow like he's always stoned 🤡
Patera Vs. The Rock
WTF is he talking about? Bench Press? Ken was an Olympic Weightlifter not a Power Lifter....smh!
He didn't bench press in the Olympics, but he did in the gym.
