Harley was 47 here & incredibly he looks younger than when he beat Dory Jr for the belt in 1973-when he had just turned 30, but both him & 32 year old Dory looked 55 plus.

[@RataStuey]

I fought Harley Race back in 1994.

[@RemoWilliams1227]

​@@RataStueyI own a unicorn ranch 🦄

[@dirbrody]

Harley looked almost 60 his whole career…

[@yoholmes273]

True! Harley also had a visible tattoo back when it really mattered.

[@kevthegoat8774]

​@@yoholmes273Karl Von Hess, Harley Race, Peter Maivia, Cocoa Samoa, Ed Sailor White, The Sheepherders etc all had tattoos before it was cool to have tattoos.

[@randomwrestlingarchive3937]

a Month later Harley was challenging AWA World Champion Larry Zbyszko at their final TV taping

[@rickjames2.0]

Harley was so tough that these guys had to wait until he was dead to make this video.😂

[@mangrove]

Harley had the intestinal surgery due to an injury from a table spot in a match with Hogan. According to Bret Hart, Honkytonk Man cracked wise about it in the locker room, which earned him a backhand from Dynamite.

[@grindelston5968]

Is that what made honkytonk man cry or was that another time of dynamite kids bullying?

[@mangrove]

@grindelston5968 Bret said that HTM was crying and apologizing. He told the story on Steve Austin's podcast, as well. Even Austin groaned when Bret recounted HTM's joke.

[@kevthegoat8774]

Harley Race here is the same age as John Cena, Bobby Lashley and Bobby Fish while being five years younger than R-Truth.

[@theweejoke9850]

Harley Race Derry mural has finished me

[@mox19380]

were you guys being ironic when you said tommy rich looked a bit like ric flair and posted a pic of buddy landel?

[@RichardSturtevant]

Race wore the leotard to cover up the scar after that surgery he had.

[@Mr.Classic91]

I work for the prison system and i have several coworkers who resemble Harley. Tough as an old boot, diet of beer and cigarettes

[@TheOneAndOnlyZelenkaGuru]

1:04 that bump was insane

[@philthatcher6111]

Race was a heavy chain smoker according to alot of wrestlers. I can't imagine he's the type of dude that eats salads everyday.

[@jimh.412]

And heavy drinker too

[@kevthegoat8774]

Chain smoker and an alcoholic

[@theyalwayscomeinfall]

I just want to thank you, Pete. I want to thank you for trying to slip in the word singlet every time Marc calls it a leotard.

[@cjnovack]

Caught Bobby Bittman in Vegas. Funny, funny guy.

[@davidbernardi3410]

Guys, going to need to correct you on Eugene Levy. He is perhaps the greatest sketch comedian of all time, and his body of work on SCTV surpasses anyone on Saturday Night Live, Monty Python, Kids in the Hall, mr. Show, etc. He played a million different characters on SCTV and they were all great, and Will Ferrell basically stole his Alex trebek impersonation whole cloth

[@grindelston5968]

>Surpasses Monty python Yeah but no.

[@pmc8451]

I have no idea what kids in the hall is or mr show but yeah SNL is shit. Surpasses Monty Python though? Are you a fucking lunatic?

[@kurtvanderbogarde8402]

Tommy Rich got two WCW Six Man Tag title runs in the next couple of years.

[@kurtvanderbogarde8402]

Harley managed World champion Lex Luger and then Lex's replacement 3 time World champ VADER!!! Four WCW World titles in total

[@PhilMiCoochie]

That's actually a really good Eugene Leavy impersonation Marc!

[@grindelston5968]

His impressions are brilliant to be honest. His dusty rhoads sounds more like dusty than dusty does!

[@kurtvanderbogarde8402]

I wanted to meet Harley Race in 1991 when WCW had their first tour of the UK but sadly they didn't bring him over with Lex Luger and Mr Hughes

[@TheGGShow77]

"Wrestling all his Life!" 😂

[@rickyhurtt5568]

It's easy for us all to make fun but 10 years before he died he could've whipped both of you at the same time and me just for a cool down

[@WrestleMe]

Oh yeah, no question. We love Harley Race, we've talked at length on the podcast and Patreon about how great he is! One of our all-time faves

[@CatsClaw44]

Tommy Rich is 7 or 8 years younger than Ric Flair. 5:11

[@willshad]

Weird calling Tommy Rich an 'old guy' here, when he was only 33 years old.

[@kevthegoat8774]

He aged terribly too

[@joshuaDstarks]

Harley Race wrestled bears.

[@zetetick395]

Leave me be, why doncha? 🐻

[@DINKFN30]

Harley had a colostomy bag at this point which may be the reason for the leotard

[@pmc8451]

🤣He clearly isn’t wearing a colostomy bag. Do you even know what a colostomy bag is?

[@DINKFN30]

@@pmc8451 You stupid

[@jamesblevins5088]

Thank you! My biggest pet peve is when people misuse the word literally... A person once told me that it was literally raining cats and dogs outside. I asked what was happening. Had there been a tornado near us that picked them up? Should I call animal control?.. The guy just looked at me confused and then explained the expression to me... I didn't take the time to try and explain the definition of literally to him.

[@set1237]

You're literally boring my tits off.

[@davidlevy706]

Eugene Levy pronounces his surname with a short _e_ (rhyming with "heavy"). I pronounce my surname with a long _e_ (as you pronounced his).

Sadly when my brother-in-law met Harley, he was in a wheel chair, and passed away about a month or so later

My god 45!!!???? Wow Harley geez. As A 41 year old im stunned

0:30 wrestling used to matter, so the history of wrestling mattered as well; who cares what match becky lynch was in 10 years ago?

5:07 credit where credit is due, Tommy Rich sells this piledriver in a way I've never seen anywhere before. I...think it's cool? But the piss undies are still very distracting.

[@RottenPopReviews]

What did Eugene Levy ever do to anyone?

[@JC-zj7nv]

Tommy Rich is 34 here. 😐

[@scottyawesomesauce467]

So... We do have that match. John Cena vs CM Punk

[@mcwhorter141mcwhorter8]

If you guys don't think this is a good match you don't really know anything about pro wrestling, this was good and something Guys training to be wrestlers should be watching.

[@timhall5382]

Harley came out of retirement for this match. He had been a manager. The narrators have no idea what they are talking about.

[@pmc8451]

No he didn’t you melt. He left the WWF in 1989, had a few matches in Puerto Rico (WWC) Japan & a few other places before going to WCW and having this match which was his first back in the company. He had one more match after this and then started working as a manager. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
