Thanks immensely sir for entertaining me as a child and a young man. You were one of the toughest guys ever to do it. Rest in PEACE power and paradise sir
Got to seem him live as he just arrived in WWF and was doing dark matches. It was even before King Harley . He walked to the ring in his blue robe ...no fan fare and I was thinking . Oh my God. .its freaking Harley Race.
Abdullah was one of my favorites, one of the best wrestling moments was when he came out of that cardboard box meant as a gift for Sting and wore Sting out. Loved that!!!
Those AJPW matches from the mid-late 70’s with Harley, Abby, Dory & Terry Funk, Stan Hansen, Andre Etc... are the best. The pop Harley Race gets most of the time walking to the ring is unreal, as big of a pop as Giant Baba anyway.
Absolutely TRUE.... I met Abdullah in '95 at Hartsfield Airport in ATL and he was dressed CLEAN---- it through me off.... a couple of years later I went to his restaurant and he was dressed CLEAN and driving a NICE Caddy there too.... we chopped it up for an hour---- nice man
Abdullah the Butcher "wrestled" when he knew he had hepatitis a blood borne disease and other wrestlers contracted hepatitis from him. Not only should he have not been allowed to wrestle he should have been arrested.
Nobody would have known that Harley Race was a legitimate badass! The man was tougher than an F650 and a Ford F650 is as tough as it gets and Harley Race rest in peace was a bad man legitimately
I saw Abdullah wrestle a young man in Barton Coliseum in Little Rock a few years ago. He forked him and the young man was carried out on a stretcher. After the match, but before Abdullah went to the back, he noticed a little boy, about 8 years old. His expressions softened and he handed the little boy the fork he had used on the other wrestler. The little boy was thrilled. I gave the little boy's Grandmother a napkin to wrap the fork in.
Flair was always my favorite. But listening to interviews about him a lot of people have negatives things to say about him out of the ring.. In all the interviews I’ve heard about Harley Race, no on has anything bad to say about him. Sounds like he was tops in and out of the ring.
1 of the only 2 documented wrestlers Andre didnt mess with the other being Meng so that tells you how dumb countless ppl over the years who did mess with them
@@zachgrace7675 I bought it 4 years ago and we lived in the country. Porch pirates don’t live out that way. If they had shipped it, they could have answered one of the many emails I sent them and showed me a packing slip, tracking number, anything. They just have never responded to me. It’s more likely that they are a sham organization.
Abdullah contributed a lot to the rise of garbage wrestling. now guys who have no talent like abdullah will do garbage matches to try and make get a pay check
One of the greatest pro wrestlers of All time….Rest in peace Harley
The Greatest. End of story.
He generally was a heel,but when he fought other heels the fans cheered for him
The King was very soft spoken... because when he spoke, people knew to listen. RIP Harley Race.
Thanks immensely sir for entertaining me as a child and a young man. You were one of the toughest guys ever to do it. Rest in PEACE power and paradise sir
Greatest wrestler of all time. Met him at a wrestling event later in his career where he was putting on the show so many memories
Harley Race one of the best in-ring technicians ever rest in peace
Loved his run as Vader’s manager against Sting!
Harley did it like no other man in the ring. Harley Race, RIP.
RIP Harley race most definitely one of the best professional wrestlers of all time ☘️🤘🇺🇸⚡️⚡️

Rip King Harley Race 😎
Harley Race and Abdullah put on a legendary match in WCW also Rest In Peace Harley Race
Man of class. Decent guy but someone you wouldn't want to mess with in real life.

Did abby like dusty rhodes, I heard they had heat from Sam houston
@nolan hicks yes Sam Houston baby dolls ex
Legend has it that Chuck Norris checks under his bed for Harley Race every night.
And Haku
Now he looks for Jocko.
And the Hamburgler
Harley the legend.
Too much excitement for me! I couldn't hardly keep up with the interview. Intense!
He’s a Midwesterner. They speak much slower than the East Coast types.
Abdullah should have gone to prison for what he did in the ring. He infected and damn near killed so many wrestlers. Hep C is a deadly virus.
Harley Race the GOAT!!!
R.I.P. The greatest wrestler on god's green earth.
Harley race sees a Japanese guy coming toward him: ''I'll Move!''
Abdullah the Butcher "wrestled" when he knew he had hepatitis a blood borne disease and other wrestlers contracted hepatitis from him.
Not only should he have not been allowed to wrestle he should have been arrested.
If you agree to do double juice it’s caveat emptor
Nobody would have known that Harley Race was a legitimate badass! The man was tougher than an F650 and a Ford F650 is as tough as it gets and Harley Race rest in peace was a bad man legitimately
Riding that leg a lill hard huh guy!
started looking like Fred Sanford as he got older.
Spot on, he really did. Cheers
you big dummy!
RIP Harley! Notice he did not disparage Abdullah, when he easily could have.
At least on this one video, you would never know how much of a VERIFIED bad ass he was!
Harley Race once called the Road Warriors, "hogs"
RIP Harley.
The Great Harley Race
And while Harley Race died last year, Abdullah is unbelievably still alive and looking to turn 80 in January.
that's because of Abdullah's on-going, long term, excellent physical conditioning program.
@@004752 🤣LMAO...Good one
I caught the last of Harleys run growing up and for a while I thought he was a light skinned black dude😂fucking legend

And the little boy forked his Grandma who was carried out on a stretcher.
@@jimmyv.495 LMAO
This story is both heartwarming and totally twisted at the same time. I hope it didn't have Abdullah's blood on it. He got Hep C
@@kenworthNH No, just the blood of the poor young man who got fed to the Butcher.
@President Funny Valentine D4C To which kid are you referring? The little boy, or the other wrestler?
Show + the real deal. As tough as they come!
Harley Race!! Seven time "Real" World Champ..!!
He was the greatest wrestler on God's green earth
You spelled Ric Flair wrong
Without Race there would be no Ric Flair
@@wuluminati9622 Overrated
The greatest wrestler on Gods green earth. Love and Miss you Harley RIP Champ
Abdullah owned a restaurant in Georgia called Abdullah's Barbeque and Chinese Food. Sadly it's no longer in business.
Great food,
I love how John Cena’s dad is in the beginning of this video
Flair was always my favorite. But listening to interviews about him a lot of people have negatives things to say about him out of the ring.. In all the interviews I’ve heard about Harley Race, no on has anything bad to say about him. Sounds like he was tops in and out of the ring.
Randy Savage is the greatest of all time and Dirty Dutch Mantell is the most underrated of all time
1 of the only 2 documented wrestlers Andre didnt mess with the other being Meng so that tells you how dumb countless ppl over the years who did mess with them
What about Bad News Allen/Brown?
@@Dave-rf1zj Andre definitely would not have wanted it with Bad News.
@@John.Flower.ProductionsAndre shit on Brown's head, that's how scared 😱 he was of him. 😂
@@MrChiangching He was too scared to get off a bus and get his ass whipped, causing him to be known as a coward until the day that he died.
I ordered the Iron Sheik shoot video from these guys 2 years ago and never got it.
The Muffin-Top Gut Fat-boy looks like a Shady Carny...
Has it turned up yet? Maybe someone stole it from your porch?

Is this the same interviewer from you shoot he sounds like him
What year is this interview from
Harley Race :
The first and true King of the Ring
Abdullah needed more color. I saw 2 toes that weren't bleeding. Cmon man
Mannnnn!!!! I was afraid of Harley Race when I was a little boy , he use to punish every individual he stepped into the ring with
The Baddest Man to ever walk the face of God's Green Earth..................
I know there's someone on the right, but I can't see him.
Abdullah was a sellout. Harley was being nice and respectful.
How long ago was this interview?
Abdullah the Butcher is 80 now so around 10 years ago.
1:30 Abdullah talk
BOW IN SERVITUDE!
Why do promoters even sign Abdullah?
$$$$
One thing for sure I wouldn't have went on a road trip with Harley driving..!! RIP Harley..!!
Why is Cee Lo Green in the thumbnail pic? Lol
thought i recognized that accent. boston wrestling, lol.
Looks like my granny😂
Sid Vicious?
100% bad ass!
i miss Dan Mirade
Abdullah contributed a lot to the rise of garbage wrestling. now guys who have no talent like abdullah will do garbage matches to try and make get a pay check
Ok clip won’t play
Id rather watch paint dry then watch abdullah the butcher wrestle
Harley Was A Small Man. A Decent Wrestler
Harley weighed around 260-70 lbs. when he wrestled.
@Jim Clark, What I Meant Was Harley Was A Short Person. He Wasn’t Tall
@@shektarafdar7496 He was billed at 6ft, which means he was probably actually around 5ft 10in, which is average height. He was in no way short.
@Matthew Shingleton, You’re Right 5’10” isn’t Short.
A Decent Wrestler?
Name a few great wrestlers?
