It's refreshing to see an old wrestler that isn't carrying 50+ years of old grudges. So many of them hold onto that shit.

Back in the day his character was underhanded yet very skilled. I never really appreciated him then. But man, I’d love to have this man as my neighbor now.

It's funny how different some of them really are than I thought they were based on their wrestling personae.

[@TheMrzero35]

I was 13 at Ice World in N.J. I yelled at him as he walked to the ring. He turned and stepped at me. He scared the piss out of me. Great wrestler !!

[@jdunnatl]

I would see both Steiner brothers at the gym, along with several other wrestlers when I lived in Atlanta. Rick was great. He would chat, spot you without asking (even if you said you were good), and was always very friendly. Scott was an a-hole. He would stare people down, went out of his way to be rude, and he was constantly in trouble with the law. My lifting buddy and I were both cops, which they didn't know, and we would hear stories about Scott regularly. Lex Luger was probably the nicest wrestler I met, though. Such a shame what happened to him.

[@MrBilld75]

@@jdunnatl Yeah I like Luger, what a nice guy. It's so funny too cause his character The Narcissist is the polar opposite of Luger.

[@MrBilld75]

Cool story man. That's another mark of a great wrestler and cool and I love that. How they deal with kids. They know how to work the crowd and Greg, clearly knows how to work a crowd and studies them and changes things on the fly if need be. I've seen him a few times irl too and he's mostly always a good sport and good with the crowd. He might not stick around long afterwards, but he acknowledges the fans, waves, signs autos etc. and when you see him talking to people he's all smiles. Well, as much as Greg smiles anyway, lol.

[@jdunnatl]

@@MrBilld75 My ex-girlfriend's whole family loved wrestling, and she apparently didn't believe me when I would talk about some of the conversations I'd had with Luger. It's not that he and I were friends at all, he just loved people. He would talk about life, his kids, and wrestling sometimes with people. Very open and sincere about mistakes and things he took for granted. Really interesting to listen to. I saw him at a buffet one day and my girlfriend sarcastically said, "Why don't you say 'hi' to your friend." Then he came up and said hello, calling me by name - which honestly really shocked me. We shook hands and I politely said hello, and then after he left, my girlfriend said with a straight dead face, "I'll never doubt you again." Priceless! 😆🤣

[@politicallycorrectredskin796]

The heart and soul of the WWF was always down in the mud for me. Lots of guys who worked hard and never made it to the Hollywood level. At a certain point it just felt as if everything had to be main event, only more outrageous than the one last week. I think it was either the UW or Undertaker who made me lose interest in wrestling during that development. It just got too scripted and silly. Remember the urn the manager used to have with him for early UT matches? I mean, we know down here that he's not actually undead, right? Anyways, I liked the old stuff better. When Adonis did his gay shtick, for example, it lasted for about ten seconds until the makeup came off and then the guy just looked mean. That's the way I liked it. Wrestlers in sparkly costumes is fine as long as someone tears them. Stuntmen in sparkly costumes pretending to be wrestlers wasn't really my thing.

Then I became a fan of NWA shortly after . And after that , i thought NWA was real WWF was fake . i rented a video that had Valentine VS. Piper Dog collar match ! WOW ! my 8 year old self flipped out ! couldnt nobody tell me wrestling was fake after that ! At least till i was older loL ! But damn it was believable then !

Didn't speak to him; it was the day before and he seemed very introspective chilling in the lobby of the hotel that everyone was staying at. Didn't want to break his concentration. That was also the year Ted DiBiase showed up IIRC. He became a pastor after his wrestling runs and gave a sermon on that Sunday; I couldn't go, but it probably would have been fascinating. I also met and shared some friendly words (through the years) with Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Jake the Snake and even Ric Flair a bit.

Got to love The Hammer the guy is a DAMN legend !! He as not aged one bit !!

[@michaelnugent9758]

Probably because he’s looked like he’s 48 years old for 30 years. 😆 Seriously though, especially compared to other guys who have been involved in the biz so long (if they’re even still alive), he looks fantastic.

[@davidian2.024]

It'd be really cool to see the hammer in AEW. Managers and associates like Tully and Sting are a brilliant element to the wrestling business sorely missed.

Seeing Valentine in WCW in the late 90s was weird facing Luger and a Wcw veteran like Bobby Eaton lol

[@chrismorgan8330]

I hate to say anything bad about Bobby but he had no business being on tv in the late 90s with that body. Valentine had a giant bloated beer gut and had an ego didn't wanna do jobs thought he was hot stuff, hung around hogan. I don't care for valentine the guy stinks

@@joemayo4078 when did I say I worked for wcw lmao I'm an avid fan and I've seen every nitro more than once, every ppv, and most thunders from 95 until the end. Bobby was one of the best... in the 80s. In wcw and wwf it was embaressing to see giants selling for this little old man. It is what it is, doesn't look good on tv and doesn't look believable. No need for the insults tough guy lol Valentine was STILL a fat bloated ego driven has been and he is ridiculous saying sting wasn't all that and he shouldn't job to sting. That's ridiculous

[@chrismorgan8330]

@@joemayo4078 are YOU special needs, troll? Bet you're my age but about 50 ilbs over weight and no interest in intelligent discussion. Just a waste of breathe. I've said, I like Bobby but by the time he was on nitro he looked like a washed up 80s hair rocker and it was ridiculous seeing harlem heat selling for them. Booker T and Steve Ray look like it wouldn't take those guys 5 seconds to whip eaton or valentine for that matter They can work but wrestlers have expiration dates especially when you look the way they looked. Eaton I do respect a ton despite the eyesore of him on 90s cable primetime but valentine yuck just a fat beer bellied bloated guy with a bloated ego.

Another great interview with Greg the hammer valentine

[@davidtyler4523]

I knew Scott briefly when he was starting out in the WWA here in the Detroit area and he couldn’t have been any nicer. He had some great matches with the Great Wojo!!!

[@bellce0]

My favorite wrestler ever. No question about it...

[@shaolinwisdom]

The fact that Hammer still has good hair. Amazing
