You never hear anything bad about Kerry by anyone. Knobbs is such a sweetheart in contrary to his former gimmick 😅

[@calienteelfriende5842]

That and being drunk

[@Scorch1028]

That's true. Kerry Von Erich is one of the most likeable wrestlers in the history of the business. He's one of those wrestlers who could have never been a heel. I remember one season of Tough Enough, where one of the competitors was wrestling with a prosthetic leg. Sadly, his leg stump kept bleeding because of the impact from the bumps he was taking. I couldn't help but think that Kerry Von Erich experienced something similar with his foot, which had to be amputated at the ankle. Duke 'The Dumpster' Droese also needed his foot amputated at the ankle. He dropped a heavy barbell on his ankle, and he attempted to walk on it too soon. It was an eerily similar injury to Kerry Von Erich's.

[@davequinn3484]

Never heard anything bad about Koko either except when he went crazy on a jobbers. Total shoot match

[@No1BRC]

@@davequinn3484 that’s true as well about Koko- but in that particular case Koko himself debunked that it were a shoot in a rather recent interview (I think on Hannibal TV: Masked patriot beat down). He said it was a work to make heat iand that his opponent did an amazing job and that he was very thankful to him.

[@johnrawlings2161]

Knobbs is the man, you get enjoyment watching him talk about the wrestlers we grew up watching, old school bad ass wrestler!

[@Scorch1028]

Knobbs is also a medical miracle. He's come back from the brink of death several times.

[@gojirajenkins8528]

The Nasty Boys were fantastic the name the way they looked and worked the match They are some of the best to ever lace up the boots

[@Scorch1028]

What makes watching the classic Nasty Boys vs. The Natural Disasters matches fun to watch, is realizing that Jerry Sags and Fred Ottman (Typhoon) are each married to one of Dusty Rhodes' sisters.

[@Marc_Araujo]

Very underrated tag-team...without them there is no Public Enemy or Dudley Boyz.

[@derekwinkler7414]

I love Knobbs. Kinda has a Chris Farley aura about him. Far as his demeanor. Even the way he talks sort of reminds me of Farley. Just a big fun loving guy. Also the way he cut promos. Changing his voice tons. Like an explosive intense teddy bear. Reminds me of Farley.

[@user-nd5ud7bh3j]

Nastys were one of the teams I liked as a kid because they were from Allentown PA. They had a wild reputation in north eastern Pennsylvania

[@jimwatkins4116]

Not a bad word to say about anyone. Love it.

[@mrs.witchyperfect9846]

LOL not Curt ;-) "Curt's Crew" LOL I love that!

[@user-nd5ud7bh3j]

Jim Dugan being a badass makes sense. I grew up in Pennsylvania. My uncle used to tease us alot about wrestling and called them retards in leotards .. but he would mention a few guys who he said were legit tough guys from seeing them around at bars and stuff. L.o.d. steve blackman(local) Jim Dugan Rick rude. There were a couple I'm forgetting. but i thought he was teasing about jim because honestly jim looked like he would fit right in with my uncle and his buddies. Just loud scruffy looking wild men.

[@ushireborn]

Jim was a state amateur wrestling champion. his "style" was all a gimmick. he was a legit badass.

[@donjohn2695]

Jim in his prime was a absolute unit no question that Jim was a badass in his prime

[@darrellgrant7615]

I actually live in the town he’s from. His father was the police chief when Dugan was a kid. Jim was actually in town about 3 weeks ago. He came to sign autographs and all the money went to the fire department. Jim was actually a fireman between semesters in college. They had a picture of him in his firefighter gear when he was in college and he looked like a 35 year old 😂. I’ve lived here my entire life and never once heard anything bad said about Jim. He’s beloved around here and comes back every couple of years to do something. While he was here though he had something happen and ended up needing an emergency surgery. Luckily the firehouse is only a block away from the hospital. They never said what happened but he made it out ok and has recovered.

[@darrellgrant7615]

@@ushirebornhe was a monster football player too. He went to the NFL.

[@Scorch1028]

Yeah, Jim Duggan's bar fight stories are legendary. In one fight, a brawler bit off one of Jim's fingers', he just kept on fighting. Duggan hurt that guy pretty badly. Jim Duggan wouldn't be the first guy I'd want to pick a fight with. If a saw a group of wrestlers at a bar, the last thing I'd want to do is challenge them to a fight, or call wrestling "fake" in front of them. That's just asking for a terrible butt-kicking -- especially back in the day, when wrestlers had to protect kayfabe. In the Mid-South promotion, Bill Watts told his wrestlers: "If I ever find out that you lost a bar fight, then you're fired."

[@mefirstmelast2791]

Knobbs is great but when you play the association game with Nord (Berserker) you will get truthful answers.. Cant wait for this one..

[@marcbasil]

He’s interviewing Nord soon?

[@fingersTitan]

Are you sure you're not mixing Berserker for The Warlord?

[@mefirstmelast2791]

Yes, John Nord started as the Barbarian, then went to the Berzerker and became very popular. In his interviews he does not hold back. He is a lot of fun and not afraid to knock all his buddies. I hope he gets to be interviewed on this channel. You will enjoy it.@@fingersTitan

[@mefirstmelast2791]

REALLY????? Awesome.. Thanks@@marcbasil

[@fingersTitan]

@@mefirstmelast2791 Ahh. So he is on the list of ones yet to be interviewed by James? It sounded like James had him coming up soon. I know he has 2 more releases and he's not put who is next on the community page.. He sounds like a laugh and James gets the most out of his guests.

[@BOZOCLOWN-x9u]

RICK MARTEL 2024 HOF

[@JWS1985]

Surprised he isn't already in. He was a mainstay there for years.

[@scoonman]

He is not in because he has declined on several occasions. For whatever reason, he is, literally putting his career as a wrestler behind him.

[@craigshannon6011]

Nasty Boys for 2024 hall of fame

[@JamesDio-yu5yd]

We saw Rick in on the mat down here in New Zealand back in the late 70s, being hook since then love watching his matches(fights)

When I was in college, I once delivered pizza to Lex Luger. Lex tipped me $10. Totally made my day, and ever since, I've made it a point to always be a good tipper.

[@mrmajamojo]

@@curthennig9448 I believe it was the Summer of 1998. They (WCW) were in town for Thursday Night Nitro.

[@tharealje2306]

Good interview brotha !!

[@georgemaranville3305]

Random Buddy Rose reference. He would have been a money making heat machine in Memphis. He and Lawler with Hart managing Rose would have been amazing.

[@marcbasil]

What’re you talking about…? “Random” Rose reference..? What? That doesn’t make any sense

[@CC_and_C]

Really nice seeing Brian so happy and healthy again. Liked them when they were wrestling and he was also a very cool guy to meet in person :)

[@marcbasil]

Nasty Boys are the GOATs. Steiners/Nasties @ Havoc ‘90 is the greatest PPV tag match of all time.

[@paulearl8203]

What a mark.

[@Scorch1028]

Yeah, I thought that the Nasty Boys' WWF run should have lasted longer. Unfortunately, 1992 was a bad year for the WWF in terms of their PPVs, house show attendance, and merch sales -- all of which stemmed from the Feds investigating Vince McMahon for promoting anabolic steroid use among his wrestlers. During this slump, the writers didn't have a lot of good storylines for the Nasty Boys, so they left the company in April of 1993.

[@MrSmitty1074]

He is a cool guy.

[@fishingmaster99]

Should of asked him about the GIANT BUTTHOLE story that New Jack told.

[@Scorch1028]

When New Jack was alive, you had to take everything he said with a grain of salt. A lot of New Jack's stories are heavily embellished, and New Jack wasn't the most upstanding person. He went way overboard, when he shot on the 70-year-old Gypsy Joe. He beat that old man to a pulp. New Jack also put a deep gash in the head of the 17-year-old Mass Transit kid. He ended up with permanent nerve damage in his forehead. New Jack "lied to the judge" about what he was willing to do to compensate Mass Transit for slashing him. Sadly, Mass Transit died a few years later. So, New Jack was off the hook for violating the judge's order.

[@fishingmaster99]

Lex is a good guy.

[@marcbasil]

Where do you know him from ??

[@Dr.Meth666]

Sucks he catches flack for what happened to Liz

[@Scorch1028]

Lex wasn't always a good guy, but he is now. When Lex was in a relationship with Miss Elizabeth, he was convicted of beating her in several domestic violence incidents. Both of them were on drugs at the time, but that's still no excuse. Lex was legitimately devastated when Liz died. Years later, he suffered a neck impingement which left him semi-paralyzed for years. Since Lex has been clean, he has been a much more likeable person.

[@Brando-Lee3725]

Speaking of Buddy Rose , where is Doug Sommers these days ? Did he pass away and I just don't remember ? But they were a great team !
