    Tony, as far as your reputation for being slow, or not very smart.... You could have fooled me, sir. You seem incredibly smart, very articulate and you seem like a likeable guy. Great interview guys!

      Tony Atlas is a good man and a stand up guy. I enjoyed this interview the way he shared his insight along with experience of his life and career he shared. I was very touched and sad about the murder of Bruiser Brody but very impressed with Tony Atlas being the only person to help him. I'm glad he went to the beach and stayed there all night after the stabbing along with everything else that went on that evening and never going back in his hotel room if not for the wrestler Vega he would have been murdered. God bless Mr. USA Tony Atlas

    This is such an amazing interview. The part about Brody and his son had me tears. I lived in Puerto Rico for 5 years in the 90's and had a coversation with Victor Jovica in Cayey P.R. about me becoming a wrestler before I did. He was kind of a jerk to me. I walked away and pursued wrestling on my own and was successful in the Florida independent circuit. But upon meeting these guys, you can definitely sense the corruption and won't want to work a show for these guys. I know many people that were stabbed and even shot over wresting matches in those days in P.R.
