Insane that he lived to 62 with all of that weight fluctuation in his lifetime. He had great genetics, most people would be immobile and dead years before that.

[@ronaldtristano6920]

My grandpa used to tell a story about him claiming that he was wrestling at the tuscarawas county fair grounds in Ohio and had to use the restroom, sat on the toilet, and it broke under his weight and cut his butt open. I don’t know if it really happened or not but that’s the reason I watched this video to find out about the man behind the myth, thank you for posting this

[@jokerswank6082]

Sounds like what happened to Yokozuna according to Bret Hart and Undertaker.

@Original Wrestling Documentaries I just found your channel a few hours ago and I absolutely love it. I'm just getting over COVID and it's helping a lot to pass the time by. Keep up the good work boss ur work is top notch 👍👍👍

[@williamhild1793]

Wow. Lost all that weight then gained it right back.

[@cnacks4835]

You have to stay on your game to keep it off. I went from 315 to around 150. Right now I've been able to maintain at around 165 for the last 3 years but have to remain vigilant as the weight comes back very easily. It's worth it tho, I'm not afraid to take my shirt off now.

[@Nomed38]

@@cnacks4835 glad to hear it fren. I'm working to lose a bit of weight myself.

[@joemixon834]

If you add all the weight gained together thats near 1300 lbs

Fat cell don't go away, they only shrink.

Why would any restaurant not want him as a customer they'll make money unless buffet lol

[@darkscorpion-donzaloog]

Because even in a money-making world, there are people who prioritize health over profits.

Happy Humphrey 800lbs Giant Heystacks 700lbs Yoku suna 650lbs Andre the Giant 550lbs The Big show 500+ Big Daddy v 500lbs Shark 500lbs

[@beyondonethousand]

Giant Haystacks was over billed when he came to North America. He was wrestling in the UK mostly around 575 and later may have hit around 620 or so. The Mccrary brothers weighed in at 727 and 747 lbs. Their weights were billed up higher twice for publicity. Humphrey wrestled at 802 once and later went over 900 after he stopped wrestling. He mostly wrestled around the 750 lbs region. Don’t forget the 620 lb Haystack Calhoun. Yokozuna was around 500 at WWE but he too was billed up several times. Near the end of his life he went over 600.

[@edmondcamp2878]

I remember my dad talking about Happy Humphrey when Humphrey wrestled in Atlanta in the sixties.

[@marcm9999]

Such a sad story. But thanks for posting. Your channel rocks the world!!

[@WaldoBagelTopper]

What a remarkable story. So many questions! How did this guy fluctuate so significantly so many times within his lifetime? Is it normal for people who are that far gone overweight to lose a whole 100 pounds at a whim? How remarkable that he went from like 700 to 250. And to die in his 60s is amazing considering the fact he spent most of his adult life morbidly overweight. Wow.

[@darkscorpion-donzaloog]

Genetics. Not only that, but he was put in an incredibly strict diet program by his hospital (he couldn’t leave if he wanted to lose weight).

[@florianklink2961]

If we had giant wrestlers like him today, I'm sure more casual viewers would tune in to see him.

[@davidgerow]

I was a wrestling fan and never knew about Happy. Thanks for sharing.

[@asurlybarber3620]

If Yokozuna had lived a couple more years, he probably would have surpassed Happy Humphrey in weight.

[@ck1ray98]

Love this channel. Love professional wrestling 👏

[@chainsawbarbarian]

Never heard of this Happy guy!! My kind of video!!! I love wrestling oddities!! I'm so curious about many old characters....especially from the Grand Olympic Auditorium days in Los Angeles.

[@ChrisfromGeorgia]

Awesome video! I never knew his ties to my hometown Augusta, GA. New sub here. 😎✌️

[@madpuppie59]

he is buried in aiken I was at his grave today.

[@ChrisfromGeorgia]

@@madpuppie59 Right on! That’s great to hear you stopped by to pay your respects. Thank you for the reply and I hope you have a great weekend. 🫡💯

[@arp3259]

To think that he lived to 62 years old is beyond me

[@pika23]

My grandparents saw him and haystacks calhoun wrestle at the convention center in asbury park

My 1st time in your channel

[@louisglen1653]

Extra shocks will not support any more weight than normal shocks. You need extra springs.

[@catguy00]

I don't know who to feel more sorry for. Happy Humphrey or the bears he had to wrestle?

[@Bloodsport1]

More than haystack Calhoun?

[@OriginalWrestlingDocumentaries]

Yes, 802lbs

[@gqloc6768]

It has to be genetics because how can a person lose all the weight only to gain it back? I gained like 40 pounds since this covid and I went out last year and started running and I lost a little but when I got sick (unsure if it was covid-19 because it was like a month of almost dying), I lost like 30 pounds and I still run and I don't eat bad but I think it's because I don't really eat at all and my body conserves and I gain weight like that. Right now I'm 225 and if I were 200, I'd feel good but 185 would be the perfect weight for me to get down to.

[@a-khanation5279]

You never mentioned his height

[@chrisdavid3510]

I remember hearing somewhere that Yokozuna was near one thousand pounds near the end of his career. So wouldn’t that make him the heaviest.

[@jaysteinhauer9562]

Yoko was close to 700 at the time of his deatg

[@tyrone5969]

Nowhere near, that would've made him one of the 25 or so heaviest people in recorded history.

[@mringram]

Informative

[@middlefinger1565]

I think Big Dic Johnson is heavier than this dude. Latter day Yokozuna...too.

[@josemontano7767]

Very interesting

[@jokerswank6082]

Some of these stories remind me of typical fat jokes
