@@PhilAndersonOutsidehell no it wasn't, neither of them are that good of actors, that's genuine friction between both Haynes and Hannibal.cant fake it. True they've made up for it since and were back on friendly terms.
Great point Terry. Im not sure ive ever heard Greg talk badly about anyone other than Billy Jack. Even guys that other wrestlers have spoken about badly.
@@Coco-xw3wp He's certainly lived a wild life. When people like Shane Douglas, Raven basically believe he's pretty much telling the truth for the most part, it says something.
I gotta laugh at all this. I knew Billy in Portland before he was a wrestler. I met him working out in the weight room of the YMCA not far from his house. He took me home and I met his blind dad. We gambled a LOT at the Multnomah Valley Kennel Club up in that private room above the crowd. An that's total bullshit about "how he knew a little boxing". He was Oregon State Amateur Champion and Golden Gloves. He had promo posters bills of himself in a boxer's stance on the walls of his room. We'd go fight down on Burnside sometimes and he was a force of nature, even @215lbs. We were born on the same day, same hr and same yr. He was a hell of a nice guy. But he definitely had a crazy 'ON' button that you didn't want to push without knowing the consequences. I left Portland and I knew nothing about his wrestling career. In fact, when somebody showed him to me on the TV, it was hard for me to recognize him....like 70lbs later and probably on 'roids. We had some conversations about drugs back then, before his career....we smoked some weed together. He knew I wasn't into anything stronger....but there was a side of him in that stuff I didn't want to know. You gotta understand though, it was hard times there in Portland without a good education and he didn't have that. He had a good job at a book depository but lost it when he got caught screwing his GF there late one night. He was just like that about life....did what he wanted to, thought about the consequences later. The guy you all thought you knew in the ring and the tales about the kids being killed in Arkansas.....I don't know what to say. That's not the Bill I knew.
Good post. Billy was reportedly a one-time sparring partner for Ron Lyle. I haven’t heard anyone dispute this, including Lyle when he was alive, so I assumed it was true. One doesn’t simply climb into a ring with someone like Lyle, even sparring, without knowing how to legitimately fight. No way.
@@PhilAndersonOutside I saw his promotional boxing posters in his room and the trophies. Bill was the real deal when it came to boxing. And we did a lot of street fighting in Portland....if Bill had my back, I knew most likely I'd be able to return home that night. After that, I left the area and he became 'Billy Jack'. That part of the story I know nothing about....just the background before. These old wrestlers that are saying Bill 'might' know something about boxing or they 'heard' he might know how to box are just showing their ignorance. He told me about his boxing career as I was standing in his room. I was overwhelmed and he might have mentioned Lyle or maybe not....just don't remember that part. I don't remember talking about his boxing much after that...he was not trying to impress me with it....just matter-of-fact for the dues in it, if that makes any sense.
@@TheReal1953 I don't think anyone ever questioned his legitimate toughness. Do you know anything about the fight he got into outside a bar in McMinville (Oregon City? Newberg?) where he reportedly killed the other guy? This story has been kicked around numerous ways, with no one knowing the details.
I myself am from the Portland area! I worked out at Billy Jack's Gym and was there for the grand opening when he had Hulk Hogan there and others! It was shut down because of cocaine dealing and steroids! An investigation went down as the police station sat in the same parking lot just ft away! It didn't even last a year under his name before things went down! After that, it switched to Oregon City Gym! This was in 88 89? Billy always was a very nice guy!
Billy Jack still wants to fight with everyone after all these years 🙄!!!! I watched the promo he cut wanting to fight Austin after Piper either lost his podcast or passed away. Thought if Billy was able to get ahold of Austin, he would try to take him and mad enough to win!!! I didn't know about their history with shared ex-wife though....now it makes more sense! Thanks Hannibal
Bill is the personification of what happens to wrestlers when they grow old....like in the movie "The Wrestler". My heart hurts for him and now with the apparent murder of his wife, he will be whisked away to oblivion and shame.
I’m from Oregon I heard he used to live in Gaston about an hour and a half from Portland. Small farming town my dad grew up there nothing but farms and mountains and forests.
He wasn't like that before his wrestling career. He used to say I got the brains and he got the brawn. But he wasn't short a load either....just impulsive. Now when I see him talk in interviews on RUclips, what I see is brain damage and past drug use. Very hard for me to watch. Great guy when we were in our 20's.
He was an Abdullah the Butcher, Brody, type who is overshadowed only by them. Gigantic lunatic half the time and miles ahead of the game wrestler who saw the big picture the other half. Add those 2 things together and for some reason it’s a superhuman freak machine lol!
billy was big back in the 80s..one of the best builds too...when I was a kid in the territory days in the early 80s we used to get all the magazines up here in New york...billy was always in them...obviously he has had his issues so sometimes it gets forgotten what he was....actually Kevin Sullivan's account was dead on from what I remember of him as a fan when I was a kid
I would pay to see a Steiner/Nowiski style verbal debate between Billy Jack and Black Bart. But I’d probably spend the rest of my days in a mental institution as a result.
i'm born & raised in Portland, OR in Portland Wrestling " Raven ' was "Scotty the Body" i've been around a lot of the old dogs in PNW territory wrestled for Don Owens i know the Olivers Rip & Larry Rip & Billy had a long run together for years close to a decade. Billy is a wild & goes nutz real quick i'd bet my left foot we was involved in the death of those 2 boys .. you bet your ass he moved more than powder from power to pills & lost it all
Mena was the nexus of the CIA drugs for guns Iran Contra extravaganza. The boys on the tracks have been insinuated as tied into all that. I lived in Arkansas then.
Billy Jack Haynes would tear him apart in a real fight. I don't think this guy could even beat up Spike Dudley. He was very disrespectful to Billy Jack Haynes.
Yea. Hate to say it but Jack is done. I say this as a fan before I found out what a terrible person he really was(80s). He seems to me like someone who lived in the moment and didn't think about the future but managed to survive and has to deal with living in it...
Billy Jack would easily win. He was almost a pro boxer. He used to spar with Ron Lyle. There was a reason he KOed so many wrestlers. Haku stories all involve him beating up a drunk tool at a bar. Big difference.
I do know much about wrestlers, but at 20;47 you play with fire. Old bad ass guys won't give you a fair fight. What is the worst that can happen to him? Remember how Bruce Lee would always give his own nose a little pain before he decided to end a fight? And Billie Jack from the movies would take off his hat.
Oowwww shit man if I was Hannibal I would've taken that in a diff way I mean COME ON have respect for a legend you can tell a minute you look that pitbull in the eyes he's ready to throw jabs,crosses, hooks and uppercuts Hannibal was luck that mic didn't cling to his kidneys anyways billy jack you got my respect and they don't make wrestlers like you anymore a true legend .
If Hannibal thinks BJH is "Full of Stories" @18:26 why don't he ask him a Direct question, instead of being Passive/Aggressive to a man who's best days are clearly behind him? If Hannibal is a Truth Seeker, why don't interview a Wrestler who claims to be a Navy Seal, on the last chopper out of 'Nam, got revenge on Invader 3 "For Brody" Pro Ball Player? or is that just Kayfabe?
@@TheHannibalTV you humiliated an old man. If it wasn't a work, you was out of line. Doesn't matter about his past.

Love you Hannibal and not in a gay way you are the the best wrestler who never made it as main event talent but you would be my champ if I had Tony Kahn money
Ok people wrestling past is very complicated. Take everything with a grain of salt. But trust me it's a lot dirtier than you think!!!!! I was there. Not all of your hero's are worthy.
Billy Jack was a loyal friend, like so many wrestlers, unlike Hulk Hogan and Brett Hart who went back to Vince after he killed Brett s loyal good little brother Owen
Not saying Austin did or didn't abuse Debra, but just because the case didn't go to court weather by Debra's own accord or not, doesn't mean that Austin didn't strike her & again, I wasn't there but "if" Austin did in fact strike her in any way, we'll never know since it never went to court. And no, I'm not taking sides one way or the other. Just saying.
Half these wrestlers sound brain dead. Yet it's always entertaining listening to Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, who actually sounds intelligent, and was the most talented wrestlers I've ever watched when l was a kid (l actually routed for him vs Hulk Hogan in 85).
Don't feel bad (at ALL) Lol....I TOO, used to root for LOTTA the heals and I HATED Hogan as a kid, personally... And, NEVER could stand the phony SOB to this day, what can I say?
Pretty sure that Hannibal wouldn't treat Billy like this if they were the same age.
Who talks to a senior citizen the way the hep c creep talks? Nobody watches these videos for Hannibals creepy voice. They watch to hear the legends.
It’s was a work between them. A set up.
Billy was build there weren't too many people that could match him, but some thing touched him in the head God bless him
I don't think he wanted a piece of him even then.
They are freakin friends for crying out loud.
I still think Hannibal and Billy Jack proposed a work-shoot before their interview. It fooled most people; even me for a moment.
It even fooled the other wrestlers there at the time. I'm not sure who, but someone inside the business soon called Hannibal out on it, and they admitted it. Pretty smart, really.
He was being disrespectful to Billy Jack while trying to make money off of him.
It was a work. They later admitted it. Trying to entertain us.

If Greg has a problem with him then there is , most likely an issue.

It might've been a pretty good wrestling match, Mr. Summers. They're both big, muscular dudes. It'd come down to who's more experienced

so who won between Billy Jack and Blackjack Mulligan? I remember them tag-teaming in WWF around 87-88

And no, I'm not taking sides one way or the other. Just saying.
All I have to say is wtf did black Bart say?
Billy Jerk Haynes 😆
Half these wrestlers sound brain dead. Yet it's always entertaining listening to Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, who actually sounds intelligent, and was the most talented wrestlers I've ever watched when l was a kid (l actually routed for him vs Hulk Hogan in 85).
Many of them are or have had bouts with concussive head trauma and other debilitating in-ring injuries, sir. That's a tragedy in itself😒
Sorry.......are having
Funny too, because Valentine didnt seem like all that of an intelligent guy when I watched him as a kid. He does seem pretty well spoken though.
Don't feel bad (at ALL) Lol....I TOO, used to root for LOTTA the heals and I HATED Hogan as a kid, personally... And, NEVER could stand the phony SOB to this day, what can I say?
Black Bart was very hard to listen to. He had trouble stringing together one complete sentence. Medical issue?
Haynes was a bully.
Something did come of Austin he pled no contest and was given a fine and a bunch of community service.
Wasn't that for his ex, Debra??
