so were the ones about Dr. Death, but when he got in a ring he was a fish out of water. he had zero fighting ability. I refuse to believe Harley as fat as he was could fight anyone with any training. Same with Haku. So he beat up a few drunk fans half his size, does that make him the baddest dude? I'm just not buying it.
@@josheisert8380 I mean flair tells it how it is Tony exaggerates it you can even tell by Joes face the whole podcast he’s looking at Tony like can you please stfu

I'd bet that most of those guys are pretty amicable if you approach them politely. A friend of mine works with NFL linemen and I've had a chance to meet several of them, and those legitimately huge folks all seem (luckily) to be pretty laid-back.
These stories never get old, two of the toughest old school wrestlers mentioned. But hearing the amount of trouble these guys got into. Very surprised that Harley or Haku wasn’t shot. Doesn’t matter how tough you are, only takes one psycho or scumbag to pull a gun for things to turn sour
@@scottashe984 Doesn’t matter, only takes one person to sneak up behind them and pull the trigger. It’s not the Wild West with pistols at Dawn and most scummy people aren’t interested in fighting fair. Bruiser Brody is a good example.
Harley Race did get stabbed once after a match in some diner in the 1960s, but it was allegedly more to do with him breaking up a group of hoodlums from harassing a waitress more than "Oh, that guy's some famous Pro Wrestler from out of town! Let's kick his ass out of here!" kind-of deal.
Those guys don't give a shit they bite noses off and eat limbs like tyson. A psycho has nothing on them. They could've shot at Haku and the bullet would disintegrate before it left the barrel.
I actually grew up with and played sports with hakus sons and daughter his wife was a fixture at all sporting events and he showed up a few times as well he was super cool always took pics and signed autographs let the kids hang off his arms while he flexed like a jungle gym my dad says he helped get his car unstuck one time by picking up the rear end out of the mud and setting it down on the concrete…. Idk if that ever actually happened tho I wasn’t there to witness it lol
I was there that day. Haku actually didn't touch your dad's car. He just scowled and ordered the car back onto the pavement, and of course it complied.
@@heisenberg4406 Harley had a handgun with him all the time. That's no problem. If ever you are in a sticky situation where your life maybe at risk, Harley and Haku are the men you want in the foxhole with you
@@beefy1986 If he did that some guy would’ve just shot him in the back of the head. No time for fighting, just a quick shot in the head. This goes for any hood really, People get shot over a dollar or for cutting in line etc. Also, imagine if Mike Tyson was waiting in line for pool 💀 Brownsville guys were wild
Ive thought about what it would be like to hang with musicians(Hank Jr, Waylon, Cash...) when they're out on the town partying but these dudes would be something to watch as well haha
I hope ric lives forever cause I love his story telling and he is one of the greats but boy does ric have the best stories to tell about his crazy life of booze and women and other wrestlers crazy stories.
Different times and a different breed of wrestler. Most wrestlers today seem to be straight up entertainers with very few legitimate tough guys. I could be wrong.
To be fair, I think he knows a little more than the average fan. Not to mention, they’re talking about the lifestyle….anyone is warranted to ask questions about that.
@@aaronalviar9137 thinking you need a podcast to criticize someone who has a podcast is not good logic. If you followed your own logic you shouldn't be criticizing anyone who has the correct number of chromosomes.
Ric has some stories. Even if he was not part of them, the story itself, he knew everything. I do have respect for the guy. But he does not seem to give individual fans to much attention. He seems to treat them like they are just 'another' fan. And many people completely admire this guy. Have waited years to meet him. To just get a cold hello.
He and the others don't owe you or me anything. I met him too and told him what I had to But no wrestler needs to say hi or do meet and greets. They give us the memories in the ring
Does anybody else think it might be a bad idea to mess with someone at a bar who beats themselves up voluntarily and calls it entertainment? Hello sir, can I buy you a drink, you do great work. Anything else is probably a bad idea. 😮
This is way too funny 😂 I read the title of this video No lie I read the title and said holy fuck Just before I started watching it and what’s the first thing Joe Rogan says?lol that’s way too awesome his reaction was clearly mine too!
I've wanted Flair to be on here for years, even if he cannot tell the truth, but still Hinchcliffe totally ruined that episode. He answered every other question Rogan asked Flair.
@@steveaustin330 Yeah mine too. I mean I know hes a wrestling fan, and the questions werent bad but man he kept cutting in and answering questions to Flair. I'd love to see this redone without him.
I love when people are like, “I would triangle choke him,” or “shoot him for messing with me”. These guys were the larger than life real deal. Pro wrestlers of that era and size and toughness were like walking talking bears.
My brother in law was the tough guy in the small town I lived in when I was in Texas. He always walked away from fights, or tried to walk away, some guys could not take no for an answer. He was Texas Gold Gloves champ in his weight class, about 150 pounds. Before I met him, I saw some 6'4" knock off his cowboy hat 5 times before turning around on the steps in front of the DJ booth and knocking him out cold with a brutal uppercut, lifted him off the ground, like in a cartoon. My best friend went to high school with Ken Shamrock. You should have him on, not my friend, Ken Shamrock
Harley, from the stories I have heard although the wrestlers are laughing now, seems like a bully to people. Where Haku minds his business and people messed with him. Only to regret it of course.
My mom's ex boyfriend brought me an autograph from Marcus bagwell. He talked shit at a bar, got knocked out and sued him. He dropped the suit but gave me the papers. I thought it was awesome when I was 10
My grandfather was old school Italian and didn't take people talking sh*t. You had whatever was around him launched at you then it was a fight. There was never talking. God bless the 70’s.
My Mt. Rushmore of Toughest Wrestlers of All TIme is: Haku, Ron Simmons, Rick Rude and Harley Race Rick Rude and Harley went to bars looking for fights. Ron Simmons was the one guy even The Steiners didn't %$#@ with. Haku was the one stupid people called out⁉
The old heads were the best ! I sat and drank a quart of beer* With george steel ! The animal < On the steps of the cyc *He wrestled their that night < 😊😊 That was 75-76 ?
Harley Race seems like an bully jerk . Trying to cut in front of everyone waiting to play pool , he was looking to hurt people and start trouble for no reason
@@butchvito the guy was a jerk . 70’s , 80’s , 90 ‘s in any time . If u walk in a establishment and try and cut infront of everyone waiting b4 u are a piece of $ht .
@@mamavonn maybe it’s different perspective but the way I see it is he was most likely bigger then all the regulars at the bar and was willing to hurt them if they didn’t do what he wanted even if he was wrong .This example being cutting everyone waiting in line to play pool .

I don’t doubt anything Rick says. Depending upon where you visited, there were some rough bars that had fights virtually every other night here in the States. I can just imagine shit going down. My experiences were the locals hated visitors from other States and ALWAYS one or two of them wanted to fight while they were drunk as hell🤷♂️ Just the waybit used to be. I can’t tell you what goes on now days.
@Josh Eisert That's right, according to Flair he wrestled Ricky Steamboat 3 thousand times and slept with 50 thousand woman or whatever the number was he claimed.
Wrestling business used to be brutal. To get in the business you basically had to get your ass beat for weeks or months before they would actually let you really learn how to wrestle. This was to ensure whoever got in would protect the image of its realness. Nowadays anyone and their mother can become a wrestler.
I used to work out at the same gym as Manny Fernandez. He was a good guy but if you did something he didn't like he had no trouble letting you know about it.😂😂
Some of these stories are cool and then other ones just sound like they were awful bullies. “Im big and I have a gun on me so I can ignore any rules cause I’m the man” is a pretty lame way to be

@nicholasinbusiness what about him Haku wouldn't have done that Haku has nothing to prove real tough guys don't brag and they don't start stupid bs Haku for real would have been treated great at bars I talked about
When Dick the Bruiser and the Crusher were in Milwaukee at any time either alone or together they would notify the local police, so if there was a fight they would finish it then the cops would come in and take the losers to the hospital. That is a known fact in that area.
Haku is going straight to heaven because The Devils scared of him
Lol
He’s almost as bad ass as Chuck Norris.
I doubt that
@@richarddowns1946Chuck Norris fears Haku
Haku is a good guy. People should mind their own business and there wouldn't be problems. Fuck around and find out.
You never know where these Haku stories are going to go. I could listen to them all day.
Seriously? You never know? They end the fucking same every time.
I find it hard to believe he could beat up Brock the UFC heavyweight world champ
Everyone has the story when the moment they found out about haku
I don't believe anything they say about Haku.
Knocking quarters off is a dick move.
Harley was a dick. That was his entire life.
You tell Harley it's a d*ck move.
Harley was trying to pick a fight
Tony must be a vampire because he is also been in the wrestling business since 70s. Which is the reason he knows and acts like he was there.
The stories about haku are legendary. Don't know why would anyone want to test Haku
People want to test the Darwin theory lol
To say you did it

Truly great stories, the old days of wrestling were the best growing up, the brutality was absolutely genius.
That move to the throat is named after Haku the TONGAN DEATH GRIP and it is real!!!

Drinks, steak dinner,whatever he wanted
I wouldn't buy him drinks because people have said when his had a drink he gets crazy I'd probably just stay away from him
Haku and Race back then is 2 people you don't wanna fuckin' know. Nobody needs to see a drunk Jimi Snuka, Race, Haku back then.
