Love ya Hacksaw! Flock O’ Flamingos was over!

[@deepblue8143]

Man Hacksaw still has that larger than life presence to him, somthing that the majority of today's roster can only dream of.

[@russellcampbell3500]

Tony was told and paid to do thise things by producers to make the show more entertaining. I learned this thru transcripts of the show.

[@wrestling782]

Good to hear that bygones are bygones

[@kenterminateddq5311]

Poor Tony Atlas. It seems everyone had issues with Atlas from CM Punk to his former tag team partner, Rocky Johnson.

[@DixiePokerAce]

Tony wasn't real smart and he was on drugs BIG TIME. He kind of sucked in the ring too. I have never heard anyone say anything good about Tony Atlas.

[@kainenmorden]

Seems like he was a jerk all around. Also,rip Dan Maloney, never forget

Glad to hear you guys are on good terms now. But you’re right, WWE could’ve capitalized on it with a Legend’s Match at a Wrestlemania or something.

[@vermillion_FLEX]

I really enjoyed this interview

[@jaythor70]

I love Jim Duggan. Tony Atlas is still jacked. Glad it never got too bad, and that they are cool today. Guys from my childhood that really made wrestling for me. Duggan was a great heel in MidSouth, but much better as a surprise face, and carried MidSouth after JYD left. WWF version was a cartoon version of the MidSouth patriot badass.

[@buyystocks]

Yep he still got huge arms about 18 inches

[@jd9119]

He's not jacked anymore.

[@buyystocks]

@@jd9119 yes he is for 70

[@jasonbink5276]

Bring back Legends House.

[@scottdehaan5864]

I've met a few wrestlers over the years and Piper and Hacksaw were two of the nicest people I've ever met. Would love to have a beer with Hacksaw and listen to some old road stories.

[@207icon-mesportsentertaine3]

anyone who stays in the same house together for a good amount of time are going to have words

[@madringking1119]

I wished they did a second season of this show.

[@deepblue8143]

Me too, I loved that show.

[@DanlowMusic]

Id buy a Hacksaw handprint as long as it had a 2x4 print too with autograph. Hoooooo!

[@buyystocks]

Meet tony in Cleveland and he was friendly. He talked to my wife and I ,for 20 minutes

[@chadhall5091]

Where did you meet him?

[@buyystocks]

@@chadhall5091 in a hotel nesr the airport, he was waiting for mark henry ro get ready and fly some where. the showers were small so mark must have had a hard time.

[@chadhall5091]

@@buyystocks , Wow. That's a great story and thank you for sharing.

[@jaybarnes8034]

Tony Atlas was muscular

Toney Atlas had genetics that is second to none , he was made to be a star in wrestling , he was for his time Ahmad Johnson who had a chance to make a ton of money but blew it , and ended up broke and homeless , but he doing better and i think Toney may have more mental problems then we know.

[@marcusbrothers5221]

The pistol finish was conceived by Axl Rotten in a shoot interview. He jokes that Paul Heyman would approach Tommy Dreamer with the get shot gimmick because Tommy is the only one who would do it.

[@DixiePokerAce]

I have never heard anyone say anything good about Tony Atlas. His in ring work sucked. He wasn't very smart. He was strung out on drugs. He was also extremely unreliable showing up for events. I like Tony's shoot interviews. He seems like a decent guy but he had heat with tons of guys in the business.

[@JohnathanThacker546]

You can find more guys who liked him than you can with Rocky Johnson

[@Daniel-es9dq]

Oh man, hacksaw does not like this guy.

[@sonanderson6351]

Nah, they are fine

[@TheBaitShopGuy]

Teddy Atlas had no legs compared to his upper body. Plus Atlas made a foolish move on that show cooking and eating all those weird meats just to try to impress the camera.

[@Ewok009]

More like no calves not so much thighs, neither did Jesse Ventura though and when Jesse had Tony as a guest on 'the Body shop" or in promos Jesse would accuse Tony of stuffing newspapers in his wrestling boots LOL That was Jesse's comical self deprecating sense of Humor Jesse the body would say "Big Bad Bony Tony Atlas" "this week's guest on the body shop, Com'on in Tony..." 😅

[@pavinb1738]

Legend's House is the best thing the WWE network ever produced and should have had more than one season. Also Duggan was a jerk to Tony when they first met Gary Busey and started the beef.

[@JamesDio-yu5yd]

Nah that wouldn't of work you guys were good guys

[@Ohionortheast]

Always liked butch reed better then tony they both had the muscles but reed did better promos and in ring work.

[@Spooky_515]

[@terrimitchell5236]

I think they was jealous of Tony atlas muscles.

[@mikemartinez6859]

Why does he have problems with a few wrestlers? Him or them?

[@ricjeknings8050]

Hacksaw has truly been talking about his month on Legends house for over a decade. Dude must not have much going on in his life. Most of us will ever forgive you for going over Steve Austin in 30 seconds. he calls him a loser mind you.

[@shooter86-uw8ce]

Duggan calls Austin a loser?
