I can’t get enough of Tony Atlas!!!! I wish he made more appearances around country! Keep these videos coming!
@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.
Kenneth Bunch Sid is good to. Two Southerners representing.
@@johnnyx9892 100% TRUTH!!! JOHNNY X, THAT IS THE TRUEST THING I HAVE READ ALL MONTH!!!!
Well said
Exactly my thoughts. Tony is sincere, and has a lifetime of experiences in the wresting world that he is willing to share with us. I have a lot of respect for Tony.....I only wish the interviewer was less showman and more interested in helping propel the narrative of the topic.
what he says is pretty accurate,because iv watched other legends mention the same things..
Man, I'm binge watching Mr. USA this week. I hope there are episodes where he can just talk freely. Everything he says is captivating. 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.
Thanks for your comment, Norm. Remember the school well, disappointing it's gone.
I love Tony Atlas.
Always good to see a new video with tony atlas.
Tony is the new SHOOT KING. He’s ENTERTAINING. Might have some silly notions here and there buuut ENTERTAINING. Aand an HONEST man 👍👍 Tony-MANIA!!!👍👍👍
Thanks, Chad, appreciate it. Tell some friends!
Another great one with Tony!
Glad you enjoyed it, Marc.
I'd like to thank Boston Wrestling and Tony Atlas for helping me get through this new lockdown! Awesome Memories! Stay safe fellas! Best wishes from Northern Ireland! 🍀👍✌
Tony Atlas give great interviews....Thank You M.W.F.
Wonder Woman was the only female superhero to have their own book for the longest time. Plenty of superheroines were around at that time including Black Canary, Black Widow, Wonder Girl, Batgirl, the Scarlet Witch, the Wasp, Polaris, Hawkgirl and Marvel Girl.
@Make Me Believe Turd.
Great stories from the Legend Tony Atlas
Why wouldn’t Sgt Slaughter be remembered as a great worker? He was one of the best big men to ever grace the ring.
Tony Atlas for President
Does he have your vote, Norm?
@@bostonwrestlingcom I like Jim Cornette for president..Then Tony Atlas for Vice Pres..
'He wanted to make her humble!' The Sheik section is funny!
Atlas is awesome!
He sure is!
Last time wwe had a televised show in the state of Maine was in the early nineties!!!! They should have raw or smackdown at the civic center in Portland there's no double level so wont look to good on tv but there will be over 9000 people jammed packed in the building!!
I agree with Tony killing off WCW hurt the business. Vince could have easily kept it going and did crossover matches between WCW superstars versus WWE superstars.
I want more of Tony!!!!!!!!!
wwe ratings are going down because its not pro wrestling anymore
its choreographed gymnastics. no magic. no mystery since vince exposed it all when he was losing
Tony never fails to deliver a great shoot and that crow story was deep lol.
AMAZING GUY, TONY ATLAS 👍👍👍
That Jay Lethal / Ric Flair feud in TNA was pretty well done... Kinda sad it wasn't done in WWE. (Tis still on RUclips last I checked)
JAY LETHAL'S [ MACHO MAN] (RIP) IMITATION WAS BRILLIANT AND SO ENTERTAINING 👍👍👍
It would be great if you can have some of the Women in your Studio (any one of them except Rousey).
Damn that thing he said about Chyna got me 😔
Right. What's crazy is I watched Jim Cornette podcast earlier today about China and what he said makes perfect sense now. They really used her and threw her away like she was nothing and that really pisses me off and makes me dislike HHH and those ppl who were around her even more
Tony speaks the truth
i can remember meeting bam bam bigalow at the saybrook high school 1983
Bam Bam was a good guy.
Lanny doesn't like him
@@michaelallanrubin2376 That's Lanny poffo's opinion.
"The road to hell is paved with the best of intentions"
Tommy Rich mention around 31 min mark
I know the wwe is only in nh once or twice a year some years maybe not at all so he cant possibly be in maine more i wouldnt think. And mr. McMahon has made the access to stars harder and harder. Back in the 80"s and 90's i met and hung out with many many wwf/wwe stars including mr atlas. Now try meeting and hanging out with roman or bray or any star even a midcarder.
100% TRUTH👍👍👍
@@louiscsanko3673 I sat and drank more beer with Ron simmons than I can count after his matches he would have a hotdog and beer like clockwork back then it was so much more fun. You knew the wrestlers were staying at the cheapest hotel near the venue and drinking at the most popular bar or the hotel bar.
@@dvlexotics2177 That is a cool EXPERIENCE . I got to sit at the bar inside the [ ELKS LODGE QUEENS NYC] With THE SANDMAN and got him a drink. Also met STEVIE RICHARDS, TOMMY DREAMER, MICK FOLEY, BALLS MAHONEY & AXL ROTTEN [ RIP] BEST TIMES AS A DIEHARD FAN 👍👍
Tony is an OG, much respect… And as a Black kid I always loved him, Butch, Rocky, JYD, Ron Simmons, SD, and KOKO but not so much but still rooted for him..
Talking about Russian meat and orange juice! I died laughing!!!!
THE CROW STORY IS BRILLIANT 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nikolai was a beautiful man…rest peacefully big, kind ‘USSR’ bear…
It always confuses me why people go to arenas to watch wrestling. Unless you are lucky enough to be able to get a front seat or close. You just end up watching the big screen anyway.
GREAT POINT!! I WENT TO SEE MONDAY NIGHT RAW IN THE MSG IN NYC DURING THE MONDAY NIGHT WARS AND WHAT A [ LET DOWN] I NEEDED A TELESCOPE TO SEE THE RING!!!!!!
TONY ATLAS 👍👍👍👍
Why does he constantly pluralize womens and mens?
I most definitely draw the line at intergenger matches.
TONY IS CORRECT!!! THE ECW PROMOTION DURING THE MID 90'S TO 2000 WAS GREATEST TIME FOR ME AS A WRESTLING FAN!!!! I WOULD GO TO THE LOST BATTALION HALL IN QUEENS AND THE ELKS LODGE IN QUEENS NYC AND MEET AND TALK TO EVERYONE FROM THE LIVING LEGEND [ TERRY FUNK👍👍] THE HARD CORE LEGENDS CACTUS JACK, TOMMY DREAMER, THE SANDMAN, THE DUDLEYS, BALLS MAHONEY & AXL ROTTEN [ RIP] STEVIE RICHARDS, TRACEY SMOTHERS [ RIP] AND SAW MANY GREATS WHO WOULD WALK BY US HUNDREDS OF FANS ON THE LINE ON QUEENS BOULEVARD. THE REASON THOSE DAYS ARE [ MEMORABLE & PRICELESS] TO ME AS A DIEHARD WRESTLING FAN IS THE "FACT" THAT WE FANS GOT TO INTERACT WITH THESE GREAT WRESTLERS 👍👍👍👍🙏🙏
Guess tony didnt kno sgt was working him.
Women's wrestling does not draw.
Jay lethal is 35 now two years ago he was what lol tony said he's a grandpa 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Last WWE appearance in Maine
WWE (Raw) Portland, ME - Cumberland County Civic Center - December 30, 2008 (5,042; 4,200 paid)
ECW World Champion Matt Hardy, WWE Raw Tag Team Champions John Morrison & Mike Mizanin did not appear as scheduled
Goldust pinned Santino Marella
Mark Henry pinned Ricky Ortiz with powerslam
Cryme Tyme defeated Cody Rhodes/Manu when Shad pinned Manu with uranagi
Kane pinned Kofi Kingston (sub. for Rey Mysterio Jr.) with chokeslam
Melina/Kelly Kelly defeated WWE Women's Champion Beth Phoenix/Jillian Hall when Melina pinned Hall with Canadian Destroyer
Jack Swagger pinned Tommy Dreamer with doctor bomb
IC Champion William Regal pinned CM Punk with knee to head after Layla distracted Punk as he attempted Go To Sleep
World Heavyweight Champion John Cena pinned Randy Orton with FU after avoiding RKO
There's been many WWE events in Maine since then.
I only agree with about 50% of what Tony Atlas says. The other 50% that I don’t agree with, is a direct result from Mr. Wonderful dropping him on his head in a parking lot back in the 80s.
Was he being serious about lethal?
Good question, I have no idea but will find out. Forgot to ask him after the fact as we taped two more episodes after this one that night.
I think he was just taking the piss lol.
i like what tony said about women wieght lifting if we where living on farms they would be lifting i the volumn of a body builder
Sgt slaughter was never in marines.
I read that Sgt. Slaughter never served in the U.S. Military.
Tony: “...and then they Tell you the side effects: could cause blindness or cause you to go deaf if your throat swell up and you can’t breathe or you start to have a stroke, see a doctor immediately. Well Hell yeah buddy!!!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can’t!!! Tony straight keeps me dying laughing!
Tony: “to call something 100% you only need 1% actual juice in it. Think about the amount of oranges that you have to squeeze to get a cup of juice. Ok now think about how many it would take to make a gallon. You really think they’re going to sell you that for 2 dollars?!”
fuck, who else can I listen to?
TONY is great to listen to. MARTY JANNETTY is also great to listen to.
Slaughter was not in military
49:38 She didn't want that much
She should’ve gave the iron sheik what he wanted
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.
Let me ask you a question, if the women wrestlers was doing just bra & pantie matches, will they not draw?
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
@@russblack443 like chyna she was over big and was the first woman that had a different look and physique
to other women and a real amazon and believable and was the first female in wrestling to be on talk shows like david letterman show and took wrestling more serious instead of bra and panties matches. and first to be in king of the ring royal rumble intercontental champion. and then wwe screwed her there is a video on here were chyna and her manager is calling wwe headquarters asking about her royalties and the person says they are not allowed to deal with anything about her. also she was going to be the tx in terminator 3 but Vince McMahon bad mouthed her to the movie studios.
@@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.
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!!!

I had a crush on Wendy Richter!!! Great Athlete and beautiful woman!
Dolly Dimples, Moo Moo The Cow.
40+ mins of discussing women's wrestling is as boring as watching it
Raw should not be so long
TONY, OUR GREAT DEMOCRACY HAS OVER 100,OOO PEOPLE LIVING IN THE STREETS!!!!! IN RUSSIA, EVERYONE GOT AN APARTMENT!!!!!! [Just calling it the way I see it]
Some people choose to live on the streets. In America we still give them services. What does Russia do? Have the cops beat the crap out of them and arrest them?
Mens an womens.
It is very hard to listen to him talk because it sounds like he has peanut butter in his mouth stuck🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
come on tony. the women look great but not in wrestling , I am sorry that is right not in the ring at all
tony stop the black thing people are people not color please
