  1. Anyone who knows the physical way to pop eyeballs out of your skull while drunk is terrifying. He was a madman

  2. As someone with hip problems at a young age i know exactly what sound hes talking about. One time i was in jail n sitting on a metal table abd popped my hip n it sounded like a car slamming into metal. I couldn't convince one person it was my hip and the sound of the table. Felt so good too

  3. I’ve watched this 6 times in a row and can’t stop laughing. I can completely envision this happening with the older guys who came up in the 70s and early 80s that knew those old tricks to get you through a match.

  4. Andre the Giant was only scared of two guys. That's Harley Race and Haku. Why would you ever not want the guy who's making a 7 foot 500 pound giant scared on your side?

  5. ok Taker i limped in to my ex's home the grandmother said go here see this Dr tunner & he pop you in rightly for your back problem, like my dead man who fell off a barn roof! could walk & go back to work driving a old truck like in the the 60's really that was his truck like a 1960's dump truck my the Dr did good job but the time i moved away! he gave a few type of moves and popping things most go back with in time!

  6. I’m being honest I’d feel more safe with an old school tough man than a modern day one. Not saying they aren’t tough nowadays, but back then they’d get into a fist fight with God if he slighted him or his friends. They just had a level of crazy that doesn’t exist anymore.

  7. Man I want to meet the Mark so bad. He seems like a guy I could spend a night catfishing with and just talking the night away as we fished.

  8. Mr Race. Everyone talks about his tough life and tough nature..
    All of which is true…
    Much like the stories of hbk… if told by multiple people the same way … they're true…
    But nobody talks about harleys kindness and support for others…
    Such a wonderful man…
    Personal experience??
    At an airport in idaho id finished a rinky little indy show in 2015…
    I had my son Billy who was 4 at the time.
    I was desperate to use the facilities if you catch my drift before the red eye …
    So Mr Race was with his Son
    Justin who is now a good friend of mine with him..
    Justin was getting a drink for his dad..
    After a brief conversation with Harley I was doing the poop dance of desperation…
    Harley said " give me your kid… kid.." he took my son Billy and entertained him til I returned..
    Such a selfless gesture…I respected harley as an athlete way before meeting him.
    But he's a really lovely guy.
    Rest well handsome.

  9. I had an opportunity to go to his school in Troy MO, just 40 min from my house.

    I ended up declining because I didn’t want to make the drive.

    Harley died later that week.

    I regret that.

  10. I'd Sooner Have Bob Backlund Backing Me Up In A Scrap !!
    I Watched The Early 80's Match Between Harley Race & Backlund & He (Bob) Threw Harley Around All The Time & Picked Him Up Like Nothing !!

  11. I wonder if dropping the elbow after walking the ropes and landing on his hip on those hard ass rings had anything to do with his bad hip

  12. I dont think the guys of old would survive on the world of today where its 10 on 1, everybody has a knife or a gun. These days the "toughest" people are the biggest cowards

  13. Harley Race, Brock Lesnar, Undertaker, and Andre. Yall gotta go thru them first before you can get to me in the bar n if you do fuck all of em up. Ill give you my shit no problem n let you give me a free punch n i wouldn't even be mad afterwards after getting knocked out cuz how the fuck did you pass Andre out of all guys 🤣🤣🤣
