Manny has always seemed to be a bullshitter, and now it has been confirmed. Saying that Stan was pissed at Vader and that's what lead up to the eyeball incident. All you have to do is hear Stan's story on it to know that nothing that Manny said about it is true.
That's an understatement. The Orndorff incident was due to Vader not coming to do an interview. And Gary Albright? They were friends and even worked a program together. Gee whiz this guy is something else.
Man I could listen to this guy all day with his stories. I wonder how he remains sane with all his good friends dying early like Rick Rude, Gary Albrieght etc
Sounds like manny was bullying Vader not the other way around. I think this manny guy isn't smart enough to realize he just told everyone he gave Vader a hard time on more than one occasion.
Manny has tried to bully his way onto independent shows.He shows up and tries to intimidate the promoter into letting him work the show. Lesson "save your money". Next he will be setting up gimick tables outside wrestling conventions with Virgil.
He's kind of correct. Although some guys work stiff, the purpose of it is to make it look real without actually beating the crap out of someone. Early on, Vader did not know how to do that. He was hurting guys more than he should have, like Goldberg did early on in his career. He became much better as his career progressed while still working stiff.
Manny was damn good back in the Crockett days and him and Rick Rude were an awesome team... That said, this version is sad. Noone believes a thing he says.
Manny Hernandez is an awesome wrestler & storyteller. Leon White (Vader) was stiff early in his career, but he learned. Kevin Owens is just as stiff in the ring.....
ERIC EPPS Manny used to live here in shelby NC. he worked out at iron bar gym where I used to go as a kid. I loved watching him wrestle. one of my favourites as a kid.
Thanks Hannibal, for all the great interviews.had no idea how cool Manny Fernandez is. You got insight unlike all the angry birds in the comment section. What makes you a wrestler is doing what is right for the business. Not how much fake prestige follows a real douche bag like Vader or Ultimate Warrior around.
In the early 90's I accidently bumped into Manny at a small live music club, I quickly apologized because I have manners, didn't know it was Manny at first, he got all pissed off and wanted to fight me, talk about a bully ! I walked away, not knowing if he was "in character" or he was just a little douche bag.
I think Manny has told so many lies , he has no idea what really happened anymore. He is past the point of no return so he doesn't even bother with the truth anymore, only his dream world.
He is lying. You can tell BS'ers, and he is one of them. He sounds like someone that was jealous of the success of Vader. I am not a Vader fan, but he had some success.
Still so bizarre to me what Orndorff allowed to happen to himself. A successful D1 college RB, drafted in the NFL, but was injured and came to the wrestling business shortly after. I assume that he knew better than the average wrestler about conditioning and how to take care of his body. He completely disregarded his neck injury and caused permanent injury by working through it for years. I didn't even realize until recently that he wrestled through the mid 90s with that bad right arm dangling. It's painful to watch that bc of my memories of Orndorff in the 80s. He was the body! When Warrior and Rick Rude were still in WCCW, Orndorff was by far the top body in the WWF. To see him like that and knowing that he went against what everyone told him bc he didn't want to take time off. Sad.
11:48. Them russians came runnin down the hallway and the young kid had scissors in his hand, he was..somethin in russian but I know they weren't goin play. 12:09.. He claims he was teaching russians how to drink..c'mon man, they put vodka in their baby bottles
Saw Vader version and sound more believable. He said he gave basically gave Ordorff 3 free shots to minimize the trouble for slapping Orndorff first . Orndoff was a much smaller guy at this point . Cost Vader 400 k
the story of Vader not being liked sound similar to what Steve Blackmon said in his shoot interview. When came in to the WWF in 97, he wanted to beat the $#it out of Vader because of something that happened in Japan, He despised him and Buzz Sawyer.
maziku And he was a corporate stooge so if Vader had hit him back he would have lost a 750 thousand dollar a year contract. Otherwise Vader would have killed him. Orndorff admitted as much,
The only bull in the business must be pissed at The Rock?.......... I like Manny but c'mon man really?............ He's pissed cus he's the only bull in the business then he tells Vader he can't tell another guy not to use his move, is it me or is it not pretty much the same kinda shit and a double standard at best?............. It's hard to be Manny's fan sometimes! lol
Minnesota- hello?? the toughest of the lot Rick Rude?? Not being funny but i don't know if id believe the date if Manny fernandez told me it... "teaching Russians hoe to drink..??"" DON'T INSULT OUR INTELLIGENCE MAN..
The worst lie I've heard about this story was from Hogan: Hogan said orndoff was completely naked and beat Vader unmercifully....odd enough his version is the only one that makes orndoff naked
You don't have to think you're a tough guy to be a tough guy. Darsow is huge and very strong. Can dead lift a ton. He'd win in a lot of fights. It's the same as you aren't tough just because you think you are. Know plenty of people who think they're tough and they're not.
TheNotbadphonedaddy Barry is low key is what I meant. Barry said in an interview that he wasn't a "fighter" or the "fighting type" but he would throw it down if he had too. He said that Rick Ride was a good guy but he was the fighter and the tough guy of the bunch. Most of the guys knew not to cross Rick. Barry didn't really have that impression on people because he was quite calm.
Kruschev or Darsow went to high school with Henning, Rude, Nikita Koloff, Tom Zenk, Road Warrior Animal, Nord the Barbarian, and Scott Norton. They all bounced at Grandma Bee's with Hawk, a notorious bar in Minnesota. All were tough guys
The toughest wrestlers are the ones you never hear anyone say they're tough. Take Bart Gunn as an example. No one ever said Bart Gunn was tough, but he knocked out someone who was said to be tough, and that is Dr. Death.
Vader coulda killed Orndorf after his first open hand punch but he backed off and Orndorff got his way . Thats what I deduce from all the stories . A guy as big as Vader that can wrestle with his eye popped out , nose broken and he is gonna be scared of someone ? Please. Vader was a bully but never finished some of the stuff he started because he was a family man scared of losing his job.
you really need to stop. that shit on TV is staged. orndorff was known as a legit Badass. size doesn't matter if you fight a guy whose not scared and a Badass.
The Viper Of Death oh you were there? You must have been since you can claim "FACTS" like that. But no.... you just heard about it like everybody else did you stupid fucking mark LOL
Can you imagine having to listen to a drunken Manny talk for any length of time? As annoying as he is sober, I cant imagine him drunk! It would probably be a great alternative to waterboarding.
Manny wasn't even working for WCW at the time. He claims he knows all this shit, but he can't back it up. When tells stories about Wahoo, or shitting on Dusty, but turning around later and praising him. He claims to have trained Magnum TA, but TA went to Oregon after Buzz Sawyer and then San Antonio. By the time Manny got to San Antonio...Magnum was in Florida working for Dusty. Dusty had him train in the ring every night with Scott MaGee, plus had him spar with Windham. By the time Manny returned, Magnum was with Watts. Manny says he owes his career to Murdoch , Wahoo, and Terry Funk. Thing is Manny wasn't a star until Dusty booked him, even when he shit on Rhodes, he booked Manny in great angles.
Manny has always seemed to be a bullshitter, and now it has been confirmed. Saying that Stan was pissed at Vader and that's what lead up to the eyeball incident. All you have to do is hear Stan's story on it to know that nothing that Manny said about it is true.
I love Manny but he is a compulsive liar.
yeah he was in Vietnam and was a hero!
@@melbias5046 😂😂😂😂
That's an understatement. The Orndorff incident was due to Vader not coming to do an interview. And Gary Albright? They were friends and even worked a program together. Gee whiz this guy is something else.
I'm just like you and your mother lied and said that she was your biological mother but she's not so check her about
Yep, a liar
manny is a legend in his own mind!
Yeah, and if you don't believe it, just ask him! 😄
Why doesn't Manny ever tell the story of Nikolai Volkolf knocking his drunk ass out?
The Big Bull can tear up the little bull.
Not even halfway through and I'm already tired of hearing Manny talk.
Where did they film this, a utility closet?
John Wilburn Pretty much lol
Its the pre-fight interview before Manny Fernandez's most popular match. Btw, the ladder won.
love Manny, one of my favorites. Loved his work with Abdullah and Wahoo McDaniel
Hi Manny it's John I worked with you in dayton nj rember crazy woman we worked for it was great to work with you it was fun stay well ok
tell you what. for a guy 350lbs to 400lbs do a somersault from the top rope is pretty freaking awesome. vader was a bully it's been known forever.
Fernandez has so much sour grapes, because he saw all these young guys surpass him in the business.
I enjoyed him but Vader made a ton more money and will be remembered more than manny
Man I could listen to this guy all day with his stories. I wonder how he remains sane with all his good friends dying early like Rick Rude, Gary Albrieght etc
yeah but he bullshits alot man.
Don't be gullible this guy a straight liar...
Did he say Crusher Crunsky or Krusher Krushev?
Sounds like manny was bullying Vader not the other way around. I think this manny guy isn't smart enough to realize he just told everyone he gave Vader a hard time on more than one occasion.
Manny has tried to bully his way onto independent shows.He shows up and tries to intimidate the promoter into letting him work the show. Lesson "save your money". Next he will be setting up gimick tables outside wrestling conventions with Virgil.
LOL at Vader couldn't "Work"

Manny was damn good back in the Crockett days and him and Rick Rude were an awesome team... That said, this version is sad. Noone believes a thing he says.
plus vader leon white had some trouble years later in Kuwait if I remember or some like that. many is still one of the best.
7.3% of that whole interview is true....actually more than most Manny interviews
The more i watch the sorrier i feel for this guy. SAD.
Manny Hernandez is an awesome wrestler & storyteller. Leon White (Vader) was stiff early in his career, but he learned. Kevin Owens is just as stiff in the ring.....
ERIC EPPS Manny used to live here in shelby NC. he worked out at iron bar gym where I used to go as a kid. I loved watching him wrestle. one of my favourites as a kid.
ERIC EPPS Who is Manny Hernandez ????

This is not from Hannibal this is a Title Match Network interview
I'm Sorry. You guys are just as good if not better. Title match wrestling #1!
He sounds like everyone's drunk uncle
In the early 90's I accidently bumped into Manny at a small live music club, I quickly apologized because I have manners, didn't know it was Manny at first, he got all pissed off and wanted to fight me, talk about a bully !

Vader would have folded Manny up like a table.
This taco is the Carlos Mencia of pro wrestling.
Ralph Goodman the internet saved you racist white boys
not a bad ananogy!!
This goof rode Jimmy valisnts coattails in jcp
SAFE HOUSE Ignorant POS pretending to be ruthless
Another great story teller 😂
Manny talks ALOT!!! The more he talks the more he lies!! Hahaha.
you don't teach a Russian how to drink manny
haha i know man. FULL OF SHIT.
Vader was way better than this jobber.
Drackkor jobber? Manny held more titles than Vader ever could of.
Natural Mystic Vader was only a global star because he worked for 2 global companies. Your argument makes no sense with that logic
Drackkor he was rudes bff so he got a pass
Manny is born again hard 😂
He is lying. You can tell BS'ers, and he is one of them. He sounds like someone that was jealous of the success of Vader. I am not a Vader fan, but he had some success.
"some" success?
He tried to bully hbk
Uh-oh....somebody’s lyin

Shamdy Crook this whole interview sound like he is bullshitting.
who were the last two russians he mentioned
Saw Vader version and sound more believable. He said he gave basically gave Ordorff 3 free shots to minimize the trouble for slapping Orndorff first . Orndoff was a much smaller guy at this point . Cost Vader 400 k
Vader couldn't work or get over? He is so full of crap.
sounds like somebody needs to get a grudge match already.
RIP Vader
Who was Manny talking about that guy Vader was bullying? Krusher what?
hbehain4441 kruschev or however you spell that
@Tom wrong? And not gonna acknowledge the bad attempt at insulting me
Animal was tough too
dont fuck with the bad man from borger Tx. big stan hansen
Manny is hard to take. Listen to Vaders side of story and it makes way more sense..
Kevin Sullivan has a story about it. I think i saw it on The Hannibal TV
the story of Vader not being liked sound similar to what Steve Blackmon said in his shoot interview. When came in to the WWF in 97, he wanted to beat the $#it out of Vader because of something that happened in Japan, He despised him and Buzz Sawyer.
All I heard was....Manny kept talking shite to Vader, then someone would come save Manny from Leon. 😂
I don't what it is, but this guy is hard to understand. Maybe because he keeps laughing so much, and just talks fast.
the funniest part about orndorff kicking vader's ass is, paul was wearing flip flops lmao
maziku And he was a corporate stooge so if Vader had hit him back he would have lost a 750 thousand dollar a year contract. Otherwise Vader would have killed him. Orndorff admitted as much,
this guy floss with rope?
Obviously, Hulk went to the manny Fernandez school of lying
The only bull in the business must be pissed at The Rock?.......... I like Manny but c'mon man really?............ He's pissed cus he's the only bull in the business then he tells Vader he can't tell another guy not to use his move, is it me or is it not pretty much the same kinda shit and a double standard at best?............. It's hard to be Manny's fan sometimes! lol
Vader , Meng , the Barbarian , Dan Spivey , REAL TOUGH GUYS .. Manny was alot of talk
Man, and I thought Rick Flair had the best stories!! Manny's are awesome!!!
Who da Fook is this guy! Wearing a Fooking kids shirt, dude's 50 and acting like he's 10...act your fooking age for fooks sake. -Conor Mcgregor
Manny is 64
Minnesota- hello?? the toughest of the lot Rick Rude?? Not being funny but i don't know if id believe the date if Manny fernandez told me it... "teaching Russians hoe to drink..??"" DON'T INSULT OUR INTELLIGENCE MAN..
10:29 "NOOOO! NO!
This guys sounds like a proper wind up merchant
The worst lie I've heard about this story was from Hogan: Hogan said orndoff was completely naked and beat Vader unmercifully....odd enough his version is the only one that makes orndoff naked
Why should he say thanks with your attitude towards him?
Manny was the guy that told Vince about Randy Savage and teenaged Stephanie.
Everyone's a legitimate tough guy till it's time, it's vader time ⌚
Manny is the man
Manny Fernandez " Wrestlings real to me god damnit"
It's funny because out of all of those guys he mentioned, Barry Darsow does not consider himself to be a tough guy.
You don't have to think you're a tough guy to be a tough guy. Darsow is huge and very strong. Can dead lift a ton. He'd win in a lot of fights.
It's the same as you aren't tough just because you think you are. Know plenty of people who think they're tough and they're not.

A legend in his own mind.
He sounds like a coward hiding behind his friends whenever Vader wanted to dance.
Ya know the more and more shoot videos I watch the more I realize that most pro wrestlers are liars

Bullshit. Ornorff would've kicked his ass 10 out of 10 times. Too many witnesses. The bully picked the wrong guy to mess with.
Manny's about the only one Leon could beat.
Not cool Manny
Vader had had matches with Stan Hansen who confirmed he's legit Manny has only his own stories to back up what he says
Dude is fried to much coke
Can you imagine having to listen to a drunken Manny talk for any length of time? As annoying as he is sober, I cant imagine him drunk! It would probably be a great alternative to waterboarding.
This was the pre-fight interview before Manny Fernandez's best ever match. Btw, the ladder won.
Every time I hear Manny's voice I have horrible diarrhea.
I wish someone call this guy out on his lies..
People can say what they want to about Manny but he is no punk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like he doesn't list the toughest guy from Tampa, Dan Spivey!!!!
Manny wasn't even working for WCW at the time. He claims he knows all this shit, but he can't back it up. When tells stories about Wahoo, or shitting on Dusty, but turning around later and praising him. He claims to have trained Magnum TA, but TA went to Oregon after Buzz Sawyer and then San Antonio.

Thing is Manny wasn't a star until Dusty booked him, even when he shit on Rhodes, he booked Manny in great angles.
Manny is certainly full of his own BS.
I don’t believe a damn word this guy says
This guy is so annoying!
brandon bull
Mike Graham tough guy come on now
they were teaching the russians how to drink? ...sure.
I know who Vader is. I DO NOT know who this guy is.
Can't stand listening to this guy!
Manny is a wrestling nobody. He was horrible. Now he’s lying on shoots
Yes
