The Horsemen were never the same without him. Flair was arrogant but likeable, you always respected Arn, but you always wanted to see Tully get his ass kicked.
Thanks Hannibal, Tully is overshadowed! Discovered this guy on AEW, the horseman were before my time. I grew up on WWF! But man this guy had a physique!
Tully's 100% right about Philadelphia. I grew up in Philly and used to go to some of the house shows there as a kid and some fans would cheer them. Philly was definitely Horsemen town.
Tully still looks good, one of the smartest ring generals of all time. He didn’t have any weakness. I enjoyed you as the greatest world TV Champ and United States champ of all time.
The "Tully strut" was one of my favorite things in wrestling back in the day. The sheer taunting nature of it was hilarious. I usually hate that type of behavior in real life, but in wrestling, it was perfect, especially if you were a Horseman.
I remember my parents taking us to watch Southwest Championship Wrestling at the Memorial Colesium in Corpus Christi, Texas in the 70s. Tully Blanchard and Gino Hernandez were the best.
Philly LOVED the Horsemen! When we went, dressed in suits for wrestling to root for the Horsemen, we always had a lot of people with us, just as we had a lot of people against us. It was ALWAYS fun.
back in the mid to late 80s i was a huge fan of the 4 horsemen. i went to a few matches live and remember getting iced thrown at me for cheering them. even so ... tully was the one i HATED. he was the perfect heel. gotta admire and respect him.
I was theee perfect age when this all went down.. I dunno what years it was. but somewhere between 1983-1988. so I was 11-16 years old....good times. **I remember watching GoldenGirls from 9-10pm on Saturday nights then WCW at 10-11 when Tully Was TV Champion/Four Hoursmen,,,, Then my Favorite was 11-12midnight Florida Wrestling with Kerry Von Erich,CHris Adams and I forget the rest. But I loooved the Florida version of WCW.. *The WWF was on fire. I bet I still have those "Pro Wrestling Illustrated" magazines from 1982-1987 when I collected em. proabably in my moms attic in a box with Thrasher Skate magazines..lol Thank You Tully Blanchard...
He was great as a heel. I totally despised him as a character. Reality he was probably a wonderful person in real life. But he was so good at selling it you couldn’t stand his wrestling persona. He was like the obnoxious sports star in your youth.
He still is. Easily one of the bezt heel managers in the biz today. FTR has really blossomed under his tutelage as a tag team. Tully is a consumate professional.
That would've rocked. Gino was made to be a Horsemen and they could've turned him face later. Gino gets bigger than the Horsemen and they jump him and fire him. Gino turns face and tags with Magnum against double-A and Tully. or maybe he demands a shot at Flair's belt.
Tully is humble here. There was a serious segment of the men wrestling fans and sporting fans alike that were real Horsemen Fanatics! It's was the best 👌
People appreciate how good and important to the success of the four horseman Tully was . At the time I couldn't understand him but after the Magnum TA matches he won me over . Had Magnum ever won the NWA title I would have rathered seeing Tully chasing the champ than Flair .
As FLAIR WOULD SAY LOUD AND PROUD..." BRIGHT LIGHTS- BIG CITY- PRETTY LADIES KEEP THE CHAMPAGNE ON ICE...DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER...AND SO ARE THE HORSEMEN...WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
@@1EVILZ06 decent charisma with a lot of presence but their matches were just blah. All they did was outmuscle guys because they had an extremely limited move set and no in ring psychology.
Very seldom do people keep their voice with age,Nice. I swear I can’t tell the difference between him and pat militech. That is probably why I always felt like i knew Pat’s voice. He sounds like Blanchard!!! 100%
He and Arn had such great chemistry together as a tag team. IMO they were the driving force behind that group because they could put on great matches. If Vince were smart, he would bring Tully in part of the creative team to work with the newer talent.
As Tully eloquently expresses the truth- professional wrestlers of that era strive for great performance. They are consummate professionals and that is precisely why they have star power.
Wasn't a Tully fan growing up but looking back now at his promos and his in work matches with AA he is so underrated. Look up his match against Dan Spivey. Tully held his own and never backed down in almost a semi shoot . These guys will never be duplicated by todays bunch. Just not the same.
good to see Tully again. he looks at lot like his dad joe Blanchard. I really remember him from southwest championship wrestling out of San Antonio Texas when i was a kid. donnie. S.A ,texas
I bet you have a lot of wreasling knowledge if you remember Tully's dad . Nice to know others with knowledge of this great sport. Most people just remember what is going on now.
The 'clarity', the ability to articulate, and thoughtful nature of 'shoots' from Tully Blanchard and Lanny Poffo really give credibility to their perspective and opinions. Great interview.
Don't be sorry for stating a fact. Without Tully the Horsemen did indeed suck. With the exception of Pillman, but Tully made the Horsemen go without a doubt. Tully Blanchard is Awesome. He was the blasting cap of the Horsemen. 1985- 88 don't happen for the 4 Horsemen without Tully!
I liked Luger......on the mic. He fit because of the look (DEFINITELY nit the work). IMO Windham never was a heel. He never wasn't that great on the mic, but his matches were historical (favorite of all time was him vs. Flair for the title. The one that went for 60min)
Oh man! Tully Blanchard dosen't even resemble the guy I remembered from the Four Horsemen, or when Tully and Arn came to the WWF for a short while. I used to really like the guy (Slingshot suplex 4tw!) but if I passed him on the street I would never have recognized him. :(
Flair is great. And got the majority of the attention. Tully and Arn are two of the best to ever work in the ring. Both are very underrated by all except true wrestling fans that can appreciate how good they really were.

Great interview.
Todd Clark seeing this interview Tully is a very nice guy !
Tully mentioned the businessman in the airport flashing the 4 fingers. Today's wrestling has lost those fans
Nell Bowie today's wrestling is nowhere near as good as it was back then.
Robert bishop people hate evolvement
No Truth, people hate suckitude.
That's why I'm here. Reliving the best days of PRO wrestling. WCW(NWA) ruled, as well as the territories that I can
now see what I missed.
Sadly true.
Shawn Michaels said it best: “Tully Blanchard was the coolest bad guy ever.”
R.I.P.: The Snuggery.
One of the most underrated wrestlers and heels EVER!
Gordon Mckay what's is the heel?
The Bad Guy.
he's in my top 10
@@kevinkelly1529 I do, I have an English degree.
Tully was the blasting cap that made the Horsemen and he definitely was one of the greatest heels in the history of the business.
i never liked you!
Public House Brand Musi cn
The Horsemen were never the same without him. Flair was arrogant but likeable, you always respected Arn, but you always wanted to see Tully get his ass kicked.
That's what he said on the WWE DVD 📀
Tully was a fantastic wrestler and talker. I have no idea what some of you have been watching. He is also a true class act.
Tully Blanchard was one of the great bad guy wrestlers of all time. I loved watching him as a kid. Very smooth, very charismatic.
I grew up watching NWA in the early 80's and I loved the 4 Horsemen! Ric, Arn, Tully, and Ole with J.J. Dillon, they were never better!
I also grew up on wrestling in the 80s i watched WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING ON Saturday i loved the 4 HORSEMEN
I grew up watching the Horsemen too. I preferred Barry over Ole though
Awesome interview!! Great story by Tully going through o'Hare airport and a business man throwing up the four fingers. The Horesman are Legendary!
My high opinion of Tully has only improved over the years.
He was one of the greatest heels ever in the business.
I could listen to Tully Blanchard talk all day...
Flair was the leader of The Four Horsemen but Arn and Tully was the heart and soul of the group.
Thanks Hannibal, Tully is overshadowed! Discovered this guy on AEW, the horseman were before my time. I grew up on WWF! But man this guy had a physique!
Tully's 100% right about Philadelphia. I grew up in Philly and used to go to some of the house shows there as a kid and some fans would cheer them. Philly was definitely Horsemen town.
🙏🏾👍🏾
Yes Philly definitely was. I was at those matches. At the old Civic Center. Those were the days
My buddies and i paraded around high school as the 4 horsemen.....great times
Tully still looks good, one of the smartest ring generals of all time. He didn’t have any weakness. I enjoyed you as the greatest world TV Champ and United States champ of all time.

Diamonds are forever, and so are the Horsemen
Tully a true legend who got screwed
My sentiments exactly Diamonds are 4 Ever and so are THE 4 HORSEMEN
Tully as well as the rest of the horsemen were favorite's when i was stationed in South Carolina. saw tgem several times
Dude(s), you get the BEST interviews... GREAT channel, and I'm a proud subscriber 😎
Tully is class. Full stop. He is undoubtedly one of the greatest of all time.
ONE OFTHE UDERRATED WRESTLERS OF ALL TIME................
UNDERRATED BY WHOM
Philly LOVED the Horsemen! When we went, dressed in suits for wrestling to root for the Horsemen, we always had a lot of people with us, just as we had a lot of people against us. It was ALWAYS fun.

Tully Blanchard is the greatest World Television Champion of all times
and the national champ
Jake the Snake was pretty great, but Tully got the heat and asses in the seats.
I liked Mr Wonderful as TV champ I wished he had a longer reign
Double A is greatest TV TV Champion of all times! Hands down!
The Great Muta
Luv ya Mr Blanchard. Great performance and great dedication thank you for your time n commitment 👏 👍
I was theee perfect age when this all went down..
I dunno what years it was. but somewhere between 1983-1988.
so I was 11-16 years old....good times.

Thank You Tully Blanchard...
The best version of the Horseman were with Ric , Arn , Tully and Barry Windham. Those were the days
Ric tully arn and ole
Bill Cowan, COULDN'T AGREE MORE! My favorite faction of the Horseman as well!
@@jamesdesomma3639 can't argue about the original 4, but Imma have to go with Bill on the Barry Windham faction of The Horseman
No Ole. Ole sucks.
The great thing about that iteration of the horseman they where at their most technical sound i.m.o
🐎🐎🐎🐎 4ever, yes Tully you were favorites of Philly PA!
Tully was the man, he was awesome and physical, the sling shot was his finishing move, wow lots of time gone by.
He was great as a heel. I totally despised him as a character. Reality he was probably a wonderful person in real life.
But he was so good at selling it you couldn’t stand his wrestling persona. He was like the obnoxious sports star in your youth.
He still is. Easily one of the bezt heel managers in the biz today. FTR has really blossomed under his tutelage as a tag team. Tully is a consumate professional.
Tully was my Favorite Horseman. Him, Dusty and Magnum TA has some epic matches.
Ric, Tully, Arn, Ole managed by JJ
The original four horses.
Diamonds are 4 ever and so are the 4 HORSEMEN
The Horsemen were like Kellogg's Corn Flakes.The original is still the best.
Imagine if Gino Hernandez lived and Tully brought him in after Ole stepped away!
That would've rocked. Gino was made to be a Horsemen and they could've turned him face later. Gino gets bigger than the Horsemen and they jump him and fire him. Gino turns face and tags with Magnum against double-A and Tully. or maybe he demands a shot at Flair's belt.
Tully was my favorite horseman in the 80s
In Philly we loved the Horsemen!
his daughter Tessa looks like a star in Impact wrestling. she looks like million bucks.
Tully is humble here. There was a serious segment of the men wrestling fans and sporting fans alike that were real Horsemen Fanatics! It's was the best 👌
Blanchard said it was cold when he started in Kansas City in December of 1983. He's right. It was 20F below with 70 below wind chills in Dec 83 in KC.
Tully's barenuckle bouts with Ronnie Garvin defined the greatness of the era.
Hands of stone.😂
Great quality fantastic interview
Tully was always my favorite horseman.
Tully's great, I love seeing him in AEW
People appreciate how good and important to the success of the four horseman Tully was . At the time I couldn't understand him but after the Magnum TA matches he won me over . Had Magnum ever won the NWA title I would have rathered seeing Tully chasing the champ than Flair .

Arn and Tully; I can't think of a better team; Magnum said Tully could blow anyone up
Hawk & Animal were a better tag team. The road warriors ruled back then.
@@1EVILZ06 decent charisma with a lot of presence but their matches were just blah. All they did was outmuscle guys because they had an extremely limited move set and no in ring psychology.

Ric Flair might have been the heart of the 4-horsemen, but Tully Blanchard was the "SOUL" of the 4-horsemen...
No doubt

I grew up in the AWA,NWA era Tully, Flair,Arn and Ole Dimonds are forever and so are the 4-Horseman!
I wish the television title belt is still around
PHILLY LOVED THE HORSEMEN
good to see Tully again. he looks at lot like his dad joe Blanchard. I really remember him from southwest championship wrestling out of San Antonio Texas when i was a kid. donnie. S.A ,texas
I bet you have a lot of wreasling knowledge if you remember Tully's dad . Nice to know others with knowledge of this great sport. Most people just remember what is going on now.
'80's wrestling was the best. Well almost as good as the late 60's and early '70's. Today it's all show and no go.
The 'clarity', the ability to articulate, and thoughtful nature of 'shoots' from Tully Blanchard and Lanny Poffo really give credibility to their perspective and opinions. Great interview.
dream match Tully in his prime vs the hitman in his prime
Closest you'll get is Summerslam 89 sadly
I was a 4 Horseman fan bigtime!
He seems like a really nice guy.
Always reminded me of Ray liota in goodfellas
Tully looks a lot like Gregg Popovich...
Looks like tommy lee jones
Hell yeah he does.
Looks like bowler Marshall Holman.
TELLY DOES LOOK LIKE POP 🤣😂🤣😂
Tully was truly one of the best. I'm sorry for saying this. But without Tully the 4 horsemen suck.
Don't be sorry for stating a fact. Without Tully the Horsemen did indeed suck. With the exception of Pillman, but Tully made the Horsemen go without a doubt. Tully Blanchard is Awesome. He was the blasting cap of the Horsemen. 1985- 88 don't happen for the 4 Horsemen without Tully!
In my opinion one of the greatest heat seekers ever in wrestling
Love ya, Tully, but I honestly think more people LOVED The 4 Horsemen. It will Always be Flair, Arn, Tully, and Barry for me.
The older I get, the more I love Tully!!! $ Horsemen Rule!!!
Tully Blanchard was the greatest wrestler in the 80s
Tully you rock man! Hope to see ya again soon.
Tully Blanchard was/is that "Horseman" who was that fierce "Pitbull" who put the t in tenacious and tough.
Tully was so good at what he did that I hated him through the magazines exclusively as I was in NJ and didn't have cable.
TULLY BLACHARD WAS GREAT MEMBER OF FOUR HORSEMEN !!!
That's right the Horsemen worked cause they were a great force for Evil. It was a miracle if you beat them. And you hated them more.
One of the greatest heels ever
I was in Greensboro Rules NWA I
Tully Blanchard was the lil enforcer for the Four Horseman. Long live Tully Blanchard.💪
kelly carlson Arn Anderson was the enforcer hence his nickname lol
It was awesome back then
80s Tully would kick today's Tully's ass just for using words like "neat" and "nifty".
Those were great times for wrestling fans.
I loved the bad guys. Tully and Mr. Wonderful was hilarious
I remember the slingshot suplex!!
“Shoot em four fingers. That’s penetration.”
-TB
I think I’m going to trim down my beard exactly like this!
Four Horsemen had awesome chemistry
Underrated Talker. Man he could pop shit!!!
Tully is right about us in the city of Philadelphia pa, we love the 4 horseman Philadelphia pa is and always will be Horseman country💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
My dad said the 4 horseman were the greatest, he wasn't a big fan of Lugar, but he said Tully, Arn and Flair were top notch
The best incarnation of the 4 Horsemen in my opinion were Flair/Arn Anderson/Tully Blanchard and Barry Windham. Luger sucks.
I liked Luger......on the mic. He fit because of the look (DEFINITELY nit the work). IMO Windham never was a heel. He never wasn't that great on the mic, but his matches were historical (favorite of all time was him vs. Flair for the title. The one that went for 60min)
Luger really does suck in real life, he was a drug addict who beat on woman and he took his wrestling persona into real life.
+perrylx I say the same . Windham was never a real Horseman because he couldn't work heel . No one wanted him to be a heel
how about when he came back in 1990 and attacked sting and luger? that was exciting
Tully has aged well.
We loved the Horsemen in eastern N.C.
TELLY AND ARN WILL ALWAYS BE THE TRUTH 🐴🐴🐴🐴
Oh man! Tully Blanchard dosen't even resemble the guy I remembered from the Four Horsemen, or when Tully and Arn came to the WWF for a short while. I used to really like the guy (Slingshot suplex 4tw!) but if I passed him on the street I would never have recognized him. :(
A human being looks older than he did 30 plus years ago! Let’s all fucking cry about it. You are an imbecile!
Tully Blanchard was the GREATEST HEEL OF ALL TIME!! There is NO comparison. Triple H falls short in his shadow.
HHH actually is better. People hate him simply for who he married.
Tully and Gino Hernandez were a great tag team...
You meet these guys they are very nice people.
Some are some aren’t
I got too meet Tully many years ago at my friends church in either n/s Carolina. Anyway his handshake was like a death grip.
Colonel Christopher George Buck Robley III.
Tully has aged well.
Most of the guys from his era have gained lots of weight and looked like they just pulled their face out of a blender.
Flair is great. And got the majority of the attention. Tully and Arn are two of the best to ever work in the ring. Both are very underrated by all except true wrestling fans that can appreciate how good they really were.
flair is loud and very passionate about his life and it shows every time
Tully was awesome as a heel.
Tully made the 4 Horsemen great in the 80's.
Without Tully, the Horsemen were a mess.
Sabatino’s! I spent so much time in and around that place back in the 80’s when I was a kid.
Ric Flair the GOAT
