[@elliotagain7731]

I see Bill Watts I listen 😊🤘

[@rodzor]

Great interview, and I agree with what he was saying about nutrition and things like vit. C at the end.

[@pooddescrewch8718]

Bill is still arrogant but with a lower tone . His philosophy on heat in wrestling was money , though . I could never argue with his business sense . I admire him even though I do not share his religious and political views .

[@GlassTarantulah]

Brilliant! I been enjoying these

[@delbertprince5302]

Bill Watts is an interesting person……..

[@georgeschire3590]

I only wish that Bill Watts would have run for political office. He would have been a candidate for president for the ages. As a president, I honestly believe that he would have been a great president. I'd go so far as to say, he'd have been our greatest president. Bill is honest. Like him or hate him, he's honest. As a wrestler he always had my support, but as a human being, I think he excels. Is he perfect? NO! He has sinned, but he has accepted our Lord. We nee more people like Bill Watts. Period!

Awesome, I remember when 57talk was operating, I used to love the wrestling interviews. Any chance that you have any of the Buck Robley interviews?

[@rafeeqturner1458]

He may have been the one to take wrestling Nationally syndicated, had Vince Jr not done it first

[@reynaldoreyes9927]

[@ebransc09]

Mr. Watts, you are a very great man, you were right, and I was wrong…. Hey?!?! what are the Russians doing here?

[@delbertprince5302]

It seem like Bill Watts love Ernie Ladd

[@pooddescrewch8718]

To know Ernie was tov love him . I used to talk to him often as he lived nearby . He was a very gracious man .

[@matthewgabbard6415]

So what do you call a man threatening to fight everyone that doesn’t do exactly what he wants? That’s a bully. Also I notice he likes to bring religion into everything all the while cursing every breath. This is the reason he didn’t last after the mid 90s. The old way of business was over. Now I’m not saying he wasn’t made that way from dealing with a business full of con men and hustlers, but other people came out the other side not acting like that. But I suppose if we look at other promoters like Vince, Crocket, Fritz, etc he’s about par for the course. A cartel of bastards haha

[@bigglilwayne7050]

Buddy Fuller was way smarter about the business than Watts, js....

[@pooddescrewch8718]

Its odd he routed the stooge system when he had Grizzly stooging for him .

[@grawakendream8980]

he was in over his head at wcw

[@pooddescrewch8718]

@@grawakendream8980 No , I do not think so . The suits were just clueless and his bosses at the same time . He was smart enough to see it and get them to fire him thus insuring his contract got paid out . Bill is a lot of things and not all of them good , but an idiot isn't one of them .
