      @Joesph West, I agree with you! I just finished reading "ATLAS: Too Much, Too Soon" and it's a must read if you are a Tony Atlas fan! I picked up the kindle version on Amazon but if you want a physical copy I believe you have to go to www.crowbarpress.com

      Yeah man! I love that book. I don’t think that anyone who’s ever written a wrestling book about themselves was so raw and honest with their experiences, bad, good or indifferent. Tony’s awesome. I love that Nikolai Volkoff crow story that he relayed (and his account of it and the accuracy of the retelling was right on target!).

    If I said it once, I'll say it a thousand times, Tony Atlas may not be the most articulate speaker and may be considered an ignorant country bumpkin but his stories are genuine and his memory is encyclopedic and you could tell that he is a damn good friend...Facts.

I like hearing about the wrestlers, but his rabbit trails are so enthrallingly interesting that I forget about the topics too. He's definitely my fav guest I've seen here.

    I was a student of Don McMahon karate before Killer Kowalski moved in. Roomed with Franco Martoranna. Started going to Boston Garden every month from 78' to 83'. After Vince killed the Golden Age of House shows as far as I'm concerned wrestling died. I'll never forget seeing Tony and Ernie the Cat Ladd. And Tony is right if you can't see these guys in person you loose interest.

    There was NO conspiracy to keep the women wrestlers ( Wendy ) down. Vince is good at his job and had to realize women just don't draw that much. as for Wendy, I think Vince just decided that run was over and he was going to hit a fade out of the Wendy push. Vince would NOT take money out of his pocket just to keep the women down. Get real, Tony.

      No Wendy was over huge and was mostly responsible for the rock and wrestling connection. It was her that got them on MTV not Hogan. The problem was she asked to be paid according to what she was drawing and wouldn't sign a contract right before going into the ring before she read it
      That's why Vince screwed her, and women's wrestling suffered for years because of it. She was still in the middle of a huge push when it happened and vince fucked hisself in the process because he had a female Hulk Hogan on his hands and didn't want to pay her

      @pbanik 3 года назад

      @@russblack443 Vince's built that reputation of screwing people (men and women) on his own. If he employed children, it would not be surprising if he tried to screw them too. You're correct about Richter being over almost to the degree as Hulk, and Vince wanting to screw his employees to try to save some money even if they drew huge is just dumb on his part. The Attitude Era was done out of desperation, since Vince wanted his product to appeal to children and families, not young adult males. That's why WWE has revisionist history that paints them in a positive light, as opposed to the actual version of what really happened, or the truth. The Chyna situation is a good comparison, but Chyna was an exceptional athlete. I don't know how many people (never mind women and girls) have that kind of genetics, and could build a physique like that.

  • @m.rivers9201

    What doesn't Tony understand about supply and demand? IF there isn't demand for female wrestling action figures then businesses wont make them. Why doesn't he barrow a bunch of money and produce female action figures? Is he sexist, does he hate women? Of course not, but he knows they wont sell. Same thing with wrestling promoters they don't want to hold women back. But If fans don't want to go see women wrestling bookers wont book those matches. Simple and has nothing to do with sexism. It's funny watching Tony virtue signal, lol!!!
