[@tamiami34]

I really enjoy hearing The Hammer's stories. I began watching Championship Wrestling From Florida with Gordon Solie in the mid-70's. This series brings back a lot of good memories, watching wrestling on TV and going to the Miami Beach Convention Center and the Jai Alai Fronton to see the matches in person. Dusty Rhodes, Mike Graham, Bob Roop, Rocky Johnson, and so many other wonderful athletes and entertainers. What showmen they all were. I miss those times.

[@MrScott3060]

Greg, you are awesome. I saw you and Ivan Putski at Oil City high school in Oil City, Pa. I was a high school wrestler and we were allowed to help with the ring set up and you came out and talked to us and asked how our season was going, and even though you were a heel then, we were all cheering you on.

[@prayingmantis6777]

Gregg is so right. Wrestling should be about the basics hold vs holds. People get injured with all the high flying moves nowadays.

[@mikeg2491]

I like high flying stuff but it’s weird how I’ll watch AEW now and someone like Bryan Danielson having a true old school, holds-heavy match seems more like the sideshow attraction now than the norm. I also think high flying moves have more meaning when they come out of nowhere or used as a finisher, good example being Brock’s Lesnar’s moonsault, it makes if look more impressive when you rarely do the move.

[@derricklogan2058]

It never mattered to me that Greg "The Hammer" Valentine was seen as a Heel, as he was one of the few wrestlers that I looked forward to watching on TV. In my mind, I knew that I was going to see someone get hurt! Forget about Triple H and his sledgehammer gimmick! WEAK!!! Watching "The Hammer" was REAL!!!

[@351clevelandmodifiedmotor4]

Real. Hahaha,. Real and pro wrestling don't go together, let me tell you this,. Pro wrestling is like a movie, it's not fuckin real in any way, it's rehearsed it's a little movie about people fighting, just like old kungfu movies, in movies people get hurt, Jackie Chan has more injuries than wrestlers

[@TheSportsfan35]

@Derrick Logan, Greg for a long time was viewed as just Johnny's son, & he learned alot from his Dad,& I'm glad over time he was able to get out of his Dad's legendary shadow & have a great career in his own right

[@derricklogan2058]

Thank you, Travis. There are so many things that I haven't thought about since I've left my childhood, but only recently recalled just a few since I started watching Greg's talks on KZbin. It's great to hear about all of what I never knew or just didn't recall as it conjures up many buried memories of a time in my life that had been left so far behind! All of this puts the pieces of the puzzle of my life into a different perspective for me. It shows in some ways how we evolved though the years from Big Time Wrestling to World Wrestling Entertainment! I can remember Dr. D., David Shultz slapping a reporter, while defending Wrestling as REAL, during the 1980's, I think, only to come now, as being Scripted Storylines! As an ignorant child, believing it's not fake to growing up to being an adult realizing that your parents were being honest when describing it as a Man's Soap Opera! Sad, but still a good old Book of Memories to have on the Shelf of Life.

[@TheSportsfan35]

@@351clevelandmodifiedmotor4 Dude, what he was saying, is that Hammer worked hard to make the fans buy into & believe that what he was doing was a shoot. Now, his Dad & the guys of his Dad's era like Lou Thesz, Verne Gagne & others worked their matches to where their punches & kicks were stiff & real because that's what the promoters wanted. Dusty has told the story many times where he & Dick Murdoch used to get the shit kicked out of them by Dick The Bruiser & The Crusher & those guys would LAUGH at Dusty & Dick while hitting & kicking them for real. That's the biggest difference between Johnny V's era of the business & now, back then, the guys & girls & to be willing to take & give stiff shit in order to keep the fans coming back & more importantly, they took pride in being in the business & took it seriously, whereas now, guys like Pockets & Twinkle Toes McFinger Bang basically don't take the business seriously & do everything with a wink & a nod like nothing matters anymore. & the guys & girls that currently work in the business wonder why veterans & legends like Corny get angry & go off on them about the shit they do that makes the business look like a bad version of SNL & not a wrestling show.

[@351clevelandmodifiedmotor4]

@Colin Killian yeh I know lol, just that Greg said he tried to make it seem as real as possible. But he would get hit then stand still then fall flat on his face,. That's cartoon shit that's not making it seem as real as possible

[@kennethtilton6137]

WWF made a mockery of Dusty Rhodes by putting him in those ridiculous polka dots. That's not the son of a plumber. That wasn't the guy that would just as well step into the ring with blue jeans, cowboy boots, and a bullrope.

[@packinaglock]

I never liked the WWF, it was always too flashy and fake looking. I was more into the NWA, the Florida scene, AWA, etc. But the NWA was my all time favorite.

[@versatilians]

Yeah, I didn't care for the "Polka Dot Dusty" either, but you have to admit, he made that horrible gimmick work better than anyone else possibly could have. Dusty is definitely in my top 5, all-time favorite wrestlers. His behind-the-scenes work in the WWF/E was absolutely groundbreaking, working with all the young talent over the years, teaching and molding them. But, I certainly enjoyed his in-ring work in the other territories, better than WWF/E. Later on, they tried to do the same thing to his son, Dustin, with that stupid Goldust gimmick. But hell, not only did Dustin make it work, he made that character into a LEGEND! By constantly evolving over the years to keep up with the times, Goldust became one of the most entertaining and memorable "characters" in wrestling history. Talk about making lemonade out of lemons! :)

[@mycorner4271]

It was all Vince's fault because he came into second behind Ted Turner which was Dusty's territory and Vince never got over it.

[@Doctor-Stoppage]

Valentine should be an agent or a consultant. If more people learned from him wrestling would be wrestling. Not "sports entertainment."

[@AS-uy9gn]

Greg's view of how a match should look reflects perfectly what is wrong with much of wrestling today - much of it no longer looks like a fight (fake or not). Too much time with setups/complexity and not being able to make it look like punches, kicks, etc. actually land.

[@user-mu5ny1ks6t]

I enjoy these interviews with Greg “The Hammer” Valentine.

[@user-mu5ny1ks6t]

Greg was very nice to me when he was in Nashua NH doing charity wrestling about 15 years ago. He was big as a house, in a Hawaiian shirt, shorts, and flip flops. I was shocked when I saw him step out of the isle at a local gas station and I recognized him immediately. He looked briefly nervous I was going to be a dick, I am a 300lb heavily tattooed guy but I just smiled, held out my hand and expressed what a fan I was. He looked relieved and gave me a firm handshake and we wished each other a good day.
