Bill Watts was known as being pretty tough but Erik is exaggerating here for sure, he was never the strongest guy in the world lol. And he was scared to fight Scott Steiner so he threatened him with a pistol.

[@davewhaley6917]

And I doubt very seriously that he gave an old lady brain damage

[@KClouisville]

I mean, Bill, in his book, claims to have snatched a guy's eyeball during a fight and swallowed it! Lol. I think the apple didn't fall too far from the tree.

[@bigc2626]

Dang he looks just like his dad. I thought Bill Watts had grown his hair out for a minute

[@bara7331]

stop it

[@trevmac8362]

His dad also charged the beaches of Normandy first and actually killed Hitler

[@brettbanta2100]

I heard about that

[@jesseb5076]

@@brettbanta2100 I heard about that, he also stood firm against the mongols twice .

I like Erik... he's such a humble dude..he caught way too much heat for nothing he had control over

[@matthewcollins8602]

Bill Watts was indeed a tough guy in a sport of tough guys back in those days.

Blackjack Mulligan beat the snot out of Bill whenever he got the chance! 😂

[@randomname2308]

well blackjack is a completely different animal, which still doesnt take away from the toughness of Bill Watts

[@kevthegoat8774]

No he didn't, you are getting him confused with Ole Anderson

[@bdctrans70]

@@kevthegoat8774 He definitely did that to Ole, but from interviews with Barry that Blackjack also had issues with Bill.

[@shawngreenidge3591]

Wow... I was about to say Bill Watts looks great for 84. And then I realized it was Erik. 😂

[@jameswissing]

I saw Bill Watts wrestle in Milwaukee in the 60's. Bill bled during the match and on his way to the locker room after the match some idiot wanted to blot his head to see if the blood was real. Bill picked the idiot up and tossed him into the crowd !!

[@kingeatking]

Any man who carries a guy to put fear in other men isn't tough.

[@kevthegoat8774]

Harley Race did the same thing

[@misterknightowlandco]

Anyone whose “famous” wether or not they’re tough should have security.

[@misterknightowlandco]

@@kevthegoat8774 exactly and if you met either one in a room one on one you wouldn’t say anything but yes sir no sir lol but in crowds where people are riled, crazy, drunk and stupid… it only takes one guy at the right angle to stick you with something and you’re done. Anyone whose actually been in real fights will tell you the same thing. Your best self defense is your feet. You don’t know if that guy is ready to meet the lord, has 10 buddies waiting or is armed. This whole lone wolf male ego thing is just dumb and only keyboard warriors who watch too many 80’s movies believe it.

[@freddiejohnson6137]

Telling people how bad ass his dad was... some how I don't think this is an unbiased take and he hero worshiped his old man.

[@theheathen7236]

Poor Eric .. Still bullshitting for poppa ..

[@jurn7429]

World’s strongest man? Jr grown and still believes dad tall tales

[@impalaman9707]

Fun fact about Bill Watts: His dad was from England

[@idk-ul6gc]

I went to Bixby high school with Eric watts a nice guy

[@HarkerDirge]

It's strange that other wrestlers never list Bill Watts when they list the true tough guys in the business. I guess if you want to know how tough Bill was, you have to ask a Watts.

[@willmarkley4237]

I've heard it from a few wrestlers in shoots but I can't recall from whom. I think it's more most of who we hear in these shoots are from the 80s and 90s. If there were more interviews from Bill's era you might get more of his name mentioned. You could be right. Just an alternate theory.

[@stinkypinkeee5085]

Bill Watts was a bully, bottom line, who enabled Grizzly Smith in his predilections, "because he could book"...I like Erik, and respect his tenacity when he was in the business, but his old man is not cool in any way, shape, or form...
