Funny! Wayne Farris Answers Stupid Questions (6-23-79) Classic Memphis Wrestling Promo

[@choice2099]

"We put more knots on their head than Carter's got peanuts!" Classic!

[@syedbadshah12345]

Wayne Farris, before he became the greatest wwe intercontinental champion in history

[@steveschmidt4063]

And he is on the best tag team in history

[@jbc1042]

Great observation. Wayne Farris became The Honky Tonk Man. And, Larry Latham became Moondog Spot. I love this video footage from the 70s. Timeless...

[@orgonkothewildlyuntamed6301]

he was the longest only because based on interviews with other wrestlers at the time no one else wanted it

[@Jeremy_the_unfallible_n-a]

​@@orgonkothewildlyuntamed6301 so you're suggesting mr "Farris" had it so Iong because all those peopIe didnt want it? 😂 Imao

[@KirksCORNER1983]

Wwf

[@danoc51]

For those of us who didn't see Wayne (or just forgot about him) until he became Honky Tonk Mon, the only thing familiar is the voice.

[@Randy-ry9ss]

He's cool He's cocky He's bad.

[@ItchyGoomie]

It's cool to see these guys in their early days before the big change in characters. Gotta love youtube

[@trueyankee4767]

Loved "Moondog Spot" HTM could always talk. He is so under rated as one of the best promo guys of all time. It's a shame he went from the main event for years and years to not having a job in WCW and almost another 20 years on the indies.

[@rict5878]

"A chicken killing" 🤣🤣🤣

[@Broken63Arrow]

Back when Rasslin' was fun.

[@tanvirkas2894]

Yeah Sure. LOL.

[@Bleak5170]

I've never seen Larry looking so good, lol. I remember him more as a beer-bellied, crazy-looking dude when he was Spot. Underrated wrestler for sure.

[@duster71]

Bleak5170 i thought he was a Moondog after a moment or two

[@PoofOfLogic]

Holy crap, that took me a second before I realized that was the Honky Tonk Man....

[@fishbone08070]

Edsel face, too funny..

[@Power_Press711]

more knots on their heads than Carter's got peanuts... lol

[@ericpelcher7729]

Wayne Farris and Jerry Lawler are related in real life (they r cousins)

[@JerGer918]

Edselface! Lololol! Just as good a moniker as "Banana Nose" for good ol' Lance Russell.

[@battlestarmarc]

Farris in his Elvis gimmick was awesome.

[@mr.native5181]

When your uncles are red necks & come downstairs to their kids basement house party trying to act KEWL

[@SteveHolsten]

We watched Larry Latham have a massive heart attack in the Memphis in 2004 in a battle royal. He sat down in on the bottom rope & didn't get back up. God rest his soul.

[@BrianScottHarris]

That must have been hilarious to watch.

[@SteveHolsten]

@@BrianScottHarris You mean watching a man working a match & then all of a sudden sitting down and having a heart attack and dying would've been hilarious for you to watch??? There were so many of us who was choked up for Larry!

[@Buttermilkjug]

@@SteveHolsten Funny you say you saw that happen in 2004.. because he had been dead for a couple months by then~

[@SteveHolsten]

@@Buttermilkjug Yes, I made a mistake on the years. I admit my mistake, but my wife & I wife were there when Larry fell out in the corner!

[@aaajimmyb7472]

@@SteveHolsten do you have any footage of this happening?

[@BlistardPussy]

Noticed Lance said" Around their belts The Southern Tag Team belts" LoL, I Love Classic Memphis wrestling..! Thanks for uploading this, Hope to see Alot More soon. Great channel too..!

[@BikiniDeathSquad]

Good lord! Larry Latham(Moondog spot) was 27 here!!!! He looked 50 but was just 27!!!!

[@BuJammy]

...and that Wayne Farris went on to become the greatest shoot interview heel of all time.

[@rarecoolitems]

Santa Claus 🎅🏻 was a wrestler - Merry Christmas 🎁🎄

[@tvpmark]

Well, now I know what the Honky Tonk Man used to look like...

[@philmalcom3795]

OMG!! That's the Honky-tonk man!! 😳

[@MrSheckstr]

“I don’t wanna answer no stupid questions” Should have replied “you just don’t want to give a stupid answer so you say nothing”

[@mrgallagher7072]

Didn't expect that voice.

[@actioncamera1284]

That guy sounds just like The Honky Tonk Man!

[@KevinGSmith-mi8js]

He is the Honky Tonk Man!

[@HulkamaniaDetector]

Saw the thumbnail and wondered when Ray Liotta was involved in Memphis Wrestling.

[@rict5878]

I grew up watching Tri State/Mid South. When cable became accessible, I watched World Class , Georgia , and of course WWF because it was everywhere. But this Memphis stuff has got to be my favorite on YT. Promos alone hooked me. Southeastern/ Continental was awesome as well.

[@tonyh1718]

Old school promos ruled These modern shakespearean soliloques almost always SUCK

[@jims.6393]

Love all the Territories

[@djsupermanslaughter]

Wayne Farris aka the Honky Tonk Man beard line up and color coordination go hard til this day.

[@errolwaguespack7196]

Is that moondog Spot.

[@zacjames1903]

Yes

[@maxxxmodelz4061]

Yes, and also Honky Tonk Man.

[@MacStoker]

is that peggy sue beside him?

[@richardeicholtz4868]

Around their belts....haha

[@30907bng]

Lance Russell was no Gordon Solie anybody who believes otherwise is nuts.

[@rickstalentedtongue910]

[@TJRatfink]

hilarious to see HTM back when.

[@rampageclover9788]

Honky Tonk looks like Fred Dursts dad

[@ryano2883]

Love the hair on HTM. LOL

[@edhendricks1122]

Just think if the blond bombers stayed together what they could have done in Memphis still Latham became moondog spot and ferris the ultimate elvis impersonator the honky tonks man and he's in the hall of fame

[@zybeco]

Just like a chicken killin

[@rockinyouallnight]

Lance Russell always acted tough when he was full of booze and nicotine.

[@cheeto4789]

Wayne was very handsome in those days.

[@raullaspinas1184]

Elvis was blonde???

[@jesushchristonapopsiclestick]

Their belts are around their belts.

[@madbrowniac7871]

Even this young both Jerry Lawler and Wayne Farris acted and sounded so much like Ron Wright that they could've been his nephews!😂😉🎤🎼🎸🎩🤼‍♂️B.W.

[@fredericbarclay7468]

Word. Ron shoulda had hisself a place in the WWE dar. Kick all them fossil manajers to da curb except for the "so-called" Brain and poss. Jimmy Hart; maybe he was too busy with SMW to go thar. Ron never needed no microphone to get hisself over with the idiots since ain'ta one of us was worthy! WWE needs to induct him in their HOF immediately. RIP Mr. Wright!

[@markdaniele4539]

Funny when wrestling mattered.

[@lackdeaver9934]

Edsel Face! Ha!

[@getodachoppa1]

holy shit balls this is priceless!!

[@picmman]

Edsel face!! Lol😅😅

[@Randy-ry9ss]

Banana nose.

[@1steve726]

Honkytonk looks baked!! Surprise surprise!!

[@TheRealPatrickP]

Exact same voice and yet you have to look close to see the face.

[@docgonzales]

I wonder if Wayne knew Ryan Reynolds mom?

[@scenariomckinney]

Honky Tonk Man and Moon Dog Spot.

[@thomasberger3899]

Lance Russell was always asking to get punched.

[@SteveHolsten]

It was in 2004 in the Mid-South Coliseum. It was a legends show. We were there.

[@Buttermilkjug]

No you weren't, because it happened in 2003~

[@SteveHolsten]

@@Buttermilkjug I realize I made the mistake on the year because my wife & I were there! Thanks!

[@XxowendanxX]

Larry went on to become a success in the tech industry when he created Moondog Spotify

[@fransuke12]

Before he was smashing guitars.

[@EvaSlayAllDay334]

I got Peggy Sue beside me...

Wayne Farris looks and sounds like the Honky Tonk Man.

[@nellbowie7986]

Wayne Farris is was and always will be a goof

[@johnissoevil]

That Farris guy isn't exactly a honky tonk man, given he ain't singin' no story nor does he sugarcoat his comments.

[@acersteel3735]

"Around their belts"

[@robmcclendon6223]

🤣

[@dickcasey4020]

Cool

[@the_professor_70]

Too good....Honky!!!!😊

[@samiam7342]

you realize how there were very few wrestlers who could talk well on the mike and be entertaining, wayne back then was not one of them even though he went on to be very good once he found his character. even hulk and flair were horrible on the mike back then....................

[@randalldenison4628]

Larry latham was so small.

[@rh5466]

Why do so many wrestlers back then have piss-yellow hair?

[@tonyh1718]

Poor hair dye products

[@rh5466]

I don't get that sense. It's a look they're actually after, and not simply a failed attempt at something. Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Hogan, Bobby Heenan, Greg Valentine, and many others. All have white hair.

[@Randy-ry9ss]

Matches the teeth.

[@chitownace777]

Mean Mike Miller would have made a great 3rd

[@junioralsept9335]

Shake Rattle Roll....

[@grawakendream8980]

why lance russell is a great broadcast journalist

[@alanstrong55]

Heels warring against heels. Another way to entertain the fans. Memphis wrestling is dead.

[@MrJjburgess11]

I was 5 months old when this happened. Just wanted you to know.

[@markr6358]

The Honky Tonk Man .

[@algeborusas2775]

That's why he was the most repulsive wrestler when he was in the WWE.

[@wafler99]

The good old days of rasslin'. Until Vince McMahon ruined it.
