Demolition Smash Barry Darsow Shoot Interview (2 Hours) | WSI #95🎤

[@launchpadmcquack2386]

Barry, if you somehow see this, know that you were one of the guys that made me a lifelong wrestling fan. Thank you, so much

[@sickboy6663]

You're welcome.

[@Bkaas]

​@sickboy6663 Barry I have been a major fan since 1988. I have always wished to keep in touch with you. Is there anyway I can reach out to you?

[@FreedumbFighter]

Completely different guy from the Smash I grew up watching. Real nice fella Barry is. Don't kick my teeth in! 😂

[@Censored4UViaGoogle]

Thank you Barry for caring about the kids that looked up to you. Helluva guy in my book

[@BonerYogurt]

James is absolutely the best wrestling podcaster around. You constantly have the best interviews today. Keep up the good work sir

[@GlassTarantulah]

Barry Darsow true wrestling legend!! Thanks for the interview James and loved that you brought up when Repo Man wore the alternative white gear with the full on mask.

[@ericdravenX00X]

What a great interview.. After this i watched some Demolition matches.. Thanks Gentlemen!

[@tyr8978]

James, you are the GOAT interviewer. I'd love to know what wholesome wrestlers like Barry would have to say about all this Vince debauchery as of late. Also, get Nailz on, brodie!! 😄

[@jayrobinson4125]

Being from Minnesota myself, I can tell how "Minnesota" Barry is, such a great guy. He runs Added Value Printing in Brooklyn Park, MN nowadays.

[@dangxdc8348]

I WILL HAVE TO VISIT! A well earned restraining order from DEMOLITION SMASH

[@adm7890]

I liked Barry a lot back in the 80's and 90's, but I've come to love his interviews and respect the heck out of him. I wish Barry nothing but the best. God bless you, buddy!!

[@Realdealrob]

I loved them as a team but Smash was one of my favorite solo wrestlers

[@83reggieT]

That girl is a bitter skeeter looking for a bigger payday.

[@bullettoothjosh]

You have to have him back again quickly. He sounds like someone who's easy to talk to. Can't wait to see what's in the can next on WSI and Story time with Dutch Mantell

[@essj3334]

Demolition was my favourite tag team when I was a kid they belong in the HOF.

[@sethrotull1]

Drink every time Smash answers "I Don't Know" as his first response. Trust me, the suspense builds throughout, with that extra benefit of ending the interview Sauced. Your interview style gets tons of questions in. Say hi to Dutch

[@tafkaga474]

Barry has always been a super likable guy and a great interview. He always puts 100% into whatever he does whether inside or outside the ring.

[@42paparia42]

Both he and Ax come out as such nice guys in those interviews...

[@paulytfromgc]

Double A always talks about how great of a guy Barry is, and I always had a hard time picturing it because he’s Smash to me. However, after watching this I bet everyone loves hanging out with him. I don’t think he said anything negative about anyone. Everyone is “a good guy.” 😂

[@gregcrane4953]

Man, your interviews are the absolute best.

[@BigDaddyLong]

My favorite tag team of all time being an 80’s kid Such a legend Thanks Mr. Barry D.

[@miltonjoyner4201]

He’s such a sweet, easy going guy. I wish you could actually have a sit down, in the same room, and have an interview with both him AND Bill!!

[@mox19380]

i loved demolition as a child. it's so awesome to learn that in all the craziness of the business there were two stand-up dudes like Mr Darsow and Mr Eadie. And great interview as always James. You've become a must watch/listen on a near daily basis and hate to hear how much wrestling induced suffering he lives with. Tons of respect for all he gave of himself for the sake of entertainment not sure why uncle ivan isn't in the HOF, but the general sense is that darsow, eadie and others who joined in the suit with BJH over concussion and the WWE providing neurological care are effectively blackballed from WWE

[@charlieward5476]

my dad would take me to the toy store and he always said you can get one hasbro figure and I’ll never forget for the first time they had the 2 pack demolition hasbro pack and it was a feeling I can’t explain and a memory I’ll never forget! #DemolitionHoF24

[@adamwirth1723]

A fantastic interview with an absolute legend

[@dangxdc8348]

CRUSH debut to technically FILL IN FOR AX and KEEP DEMOLITION RELEVANT SMASH and CRUSH but that means the dynamic and chemistry changes ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING CRUSH BEING SO "GREEN". AX SMASH and CRUSH looks good on paper and perhaps could have worked...had SMASH been pushed babyface only for AX and CRUSH to turn heel

[@dangxdc8348]

Why didn't DEMOLITION SMASH gets a singles push with AX and CRUSH joining Paul Ellering

[@jcrowellz2000]

I thought his Repo Man character was funny. They should have tested a Intercontinental run with him

[@dangxdc8348]

AX and CRUSH join Paul Ellering (DEMOLITION SMASH gets singles push but initially fails Saturday Nights Main Event Intercontinental Championship pursuit) all this causes SMASH to lick his wounds returning to AX and CRUSH. AX and CRUSH have aligned with Paul Ellering expanding LEGION OF DOOM into a heel faction. Hawk, Animal, Ax, Crush and soon Warlord and Barbarian. Paul Ellering says SMASH has 30 days to relinquish DEMOLITION. Strip away to reveal THE ONE THAT IS; Barry Darsow.) Does DEMOLITION SMASH adhere or seek Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior and the like to battle against the notorious LEGION OF DOOM) REPO MAN was indeed a funny character and technically crazy to think RM was once DEMOLITION SMASH. Even crazier to comprehend Repo as a babyface. Was Repo supposed to become like Robin Hood; battling the rich to enrich the poor? In that case; REPO MAN might want to embrace the Tunnel People living underneath Caesars Palace in Las Vegas Nevada. DEMOLITION SMASH vs DOINK THE CLOWN Barry Darsow vs Matt Bourne A BATTLE BETWEEN NUTS & BOLTS

[@macstar2010]

Love this guy. Great interview.

[@jamesreding6336]

Great story's

[@MoparStephen]

Amazing interview. It's crazy how so many of the nastiest big heels from back in the day are the nicest of the bunch. Now I'm older, I realize that the guys I hated the most as a kid were just that good at doing their jobs.

[@stephengennarelli1808]

Rick Rude was such a great worker, he could get a **1/2 star match out of Anabolic which was like a 5 star match for anybody else.

[@lokilorenzini]

That T shirt is 🔥 🔥!!

[@Beaver_Cleavage420]

Demolition is my all time favorite tag team not even close

[@Carelock]

Who tf fights in a bar where Rick Rude, the Road Warriors and Barry Darsow are the bouncers?!?!

[@giancarlociardiello3997]

Io minchia che sono siciliano, u capissi?

[@mrT-qp1mf]

Fairplay wasnt expected a true skill bonus after the 75 but nice suprise i guess. Good stuff mate.

[@dancharuk8343]

As soon as I heard the story about Stu Hart not letting Jim Neidhart’s wife and family go back to Florida and The Anvil yelling into the phone why do i automatically assume that it was really Owen on the phone and not actually Stu?

[@mox19380]

hahaha. right...sounds like an owen rib

[@jonjohnson1978.]

Easily my favourite tag team

[@neilsmith9066]

Demolition Hof 2024, Vince for jail 2024

[@launchpadmcquack2386]

I feel like every WWE video needs to get drowned with demotion HoF '24

[@fingersTitan]

Jeriatrico to be Vince's cell b1tch 2024

[@TheRealDannAlexander]

Yes!!!!!!

[@tedgorman12]

I appreciate his contributions to the business. That being said, please stop with the nobody knew he was Crusher Khruschev when he was in Demolition or that no one realized he was Smash when he did the Repo Man gimmick. I was still in High School and it was obvious. Give wrestling fans more credit. Loved the Riddler mask though. Related, but not, I wish I could’ve seen Masked Superstar in his heyday.

[@jamesreding6336]

Kurt hening wrestled in Portland when I was in high school for Don Owen's

[@russblack443]

I think that David Crockett got the worst sickle ever given,then probably Randy and Bill Mulkey

[@NoirTech83]

I think it might be a good idea to give these guys a heads up with the questions, give them a chance to think of an answer before the show starts so they don’t end up blanking.

[@bb-gc2tx]

class act

[@wesleysteeleiv]

Super 7 "Demolition" action figures sound sexy asf with all the extras like different colored face painted heads, the studded jackets, helmets, wrist bracers.

[@Lord_Clayton420]

Only wrestling move this dude knew was double axe handle smash then tag in Axe. I don't remember ever seeing him do any other move

[@MissterX]

FINALLY!!!

[@countrydawn418]

Barry still look in shape.

[@josephsalzman1166]

What about Scott Norton ?

[@gopherstate777]

The only time I ever heard Barry angry was when an interviewer referred to him and Bill as Road Warrior clones.

[@larrybarnes6347]

Wait , why did he say he went to a liquor store to buy beer? I've never heard of that before

[@nyranstanton203]

my question is why arent thes guys ever in video games? Why arent they in the 2K games for example?

[@TonyDanza4Lyfe]

Anther banger

[@dannysavagedraftguru]

Dude seems like generally good dude never heard him bash anyone

[@dannysavagedraftguru]

@@decollector95 seems logical

[@thefiggamehunt6946]

Don't skip the Hasbro question! You monster lol

[@darthsebio1726]

Wonder if Barry signed the first NDA in pro wrestling🤔

[@joewright6095]

Smaah royal rumble

[@rms5366]

I knew straight away he was the repo man lol

[@macstar2010]

Im the same. The voice and the tattoo

[@Songman87]

You forget some of these questions you already asked others before, Like why Nailz attracted Vince.

[@mithall4198]

Nailz was attracted to Vince's x-rated texts.

[@nyranstanton203]

i genuinely think wrestlers Are the most entertining people on the planet. I really believe that lol. Theres COMEDIANS that arent as entertaining as these people.

[@jamesreding6336]

[@Bazzeboy]

Dusty and Crockett were a crooked officers tag-team…

[@ew2079]

Good listen these podcasts top stars from the past and young James is great the old timers seem to like him . Not necessarily this show but James need to show a bit of respect at times and stop being so nosey when it comes to asking people how much they made or serious dangerous questions that could cause a guest trouble because that’s just using guys with no consideration for the outcome knowing they will talk for money . There guys are skint and vulnerable James show some respect and reign it at times you know the kind of questions I mean your not stupid . Could you also stop telling people that the question isn’t in your notes and telling us what your going to be asking later on it’s way to controlled . Your short for time so stop wasting your time in telling us how many questions you have left and you’ll make this short and also telling them you had thousands left hoping they will talk for free . You pay for an hour respect that and be happy for what you got or pay these guys for part 2 I know you do with some but that’s after you’ve already Rinsed an extra hour off them .

[@danielkaupp4649]

Dynamite was a heavy smoker

[@AlanJOHNSTONE-u1w]

Harley Race, Jake the snake, Rick Rude, Andre the giant, Roddy piper, Ric Flair, Sandman, Sabu, Rey Mysterio to name a few I know Smoked!!

[@AlanJOHNSTONE-u1w]

Barry will always be Krusher kruchev

[@michaelrood2751]

If you were a 7 handicap you weren’t a scratch lol

[@ziggypop79]

This poser is always trying to get former talent to talk bad about a guy who died 10 years ago to get hits for his channel. He’s never wrestled a match in his life.

[@pivotpointfilms]

Smash will always be my favorite. The meanest gimmick. Be happy ur not in the wwe hall of fame.

[@jamesreding6336]

Yes Brad didn't have a personality

[@toxicculture4682]

most egomaniacal host in history

[@dinobravo8630]

Finally someone that gives a real answer on Andre’s shoot height. Most of his contemporaries will still kayfabe Andre’s height
