[@mulldrifterz6469]

Larry almost went to Smackdown after WCW closed to be an announcer?...He could've saved us from Michael Cole?... Larry! A heel all along after all these years ;).

[@troylowe814]

A lot of folks call BS on some of Larry Z's stories, but if you ask those involved you find out he's not lying. His influence on wrestling is way undervalued. Few could make you hate you so much by doing very little. A real master of the art.

[@KenDelloSandro7565]

Great stuff. Larry Z is not only one of the top 10 best wrestlers of all time, he's a Legit BAD ASS! Even at his age right now, God help the man who tests him.

[@joelmalone7922]

Count me in as a big fan of Larry. I loved him in WCW as an announcer when I was a kid and through video (back then) I saw him as a wrestler and thought he was a great talent on the mic and in the ring. My friend, brother, and I got to see Larry wrestle jn the main event at a small independent show in Loves Park back in 2004 and he was awesome even then. Everybody loved him.

[@frankporter6169]

For me, the best wrestling interview ever - especially the segment about Mr Fuji and Haystacks Calhoun.

[@leifjohnson2081]

I loved this guy on WCW. It wasn’t until I was a little younger when I got ahold of his vhs tapes I realized why Tony Savone called him “The Living legend” the guys mere presence as a kid made me feeling, “I don’t know why but this guy is great” he just carried himself in such a way.

[@dogleg]

The master of "The Stall". Larry is one of the all-time greats.

[@georgk8732]

Man I liked this guy as a color commentator in the 90s WCW.

[@FIREBALLER100]

So did I.

[@robertmcqueeney7221]

Larry was engaging and kept this interview interesting. Great job, great insight!

[@jasonkent3658]

Always a class act a true heel in the sport that is needed today. Back when wrestling was entertaining

[@chadpugh1490]

Add Zbysko to the list of guys i wanna have a beer with before I go. I could listen to that voice all day.

[@nk56950]

Awesome, as I thought it'd be. I love how Larry puts himself over for everything, it's something a lot of the older generation guys do. LOL always working! But the stories are great, Larry Z is an awesome interview!

[@maxpuppy96]

I was a WWWF fan and remember the turn on Bruno, it was one of the best angles of all time historic.

[@1Cruzer4u]

Larry was a fantastic heel and wow what a run it was when he hit Bruno over the head with the chair teachers were talking about it next day in school. And I went to school 500 miles away from NY people were incensed the story line had everything friendship, loyalty, honor, respect, ultimately betrayal. It was so legendary 40 years later Zbyszko never worked in WWWF, WWF, or WWE again the public still remembers the time he turned on Bruno. God speed Larry continued health and happiness.

[@trendmassacre8423]

You can definitely tell he carries a bit of that heal persona with him still to this day.

[@thomasgelfuso2014]

One if the most enjoyable shoot interviews I've watched. Loved Larry Z growing up! Hope you can do a Bruno interview in the future. Great as always Hannibal!

[@Byzantios1]

He was such a fun guy to watch, especially in the AWA. What a heel!

[@tracym1208]

Just seemed like wrestling was fortunate to have a guy like LARRY Z.... was around for the many years.... Well by his own admission anyways!!!! All said l LIKED his Style... And he seemed to carry his act really well... very good kinda like N. Bockwinkel

[@sharps6]

Thanks Hannibal for tracking down Larry and making this interview. I’m a super fan of the living legend and it’s nice to know he’s doing well.

[@johnsawh6316]

Larry is just awesome

[@monomonster]

Larry Zbyszko!!!! The man u loved to hate. But.....he backed it up. F..king good wrestler. I loved to watch him.

[@swfcocs1]

Hannibals shoots are always well made and interesting,certainly better than Rob Feinsteins

[@therealfrisco3859]

swfcocs1 And professional as well. He's not pulling out dildos and talking about Batista's jock like this OTHER shoot channel.

[@swfcocs1]

The James Anderson true-some of kayfabe comrnentaries is pretty immature though some is good and Sean Oliver can be quite at times-the specialist Kayfabe ones tend not to have the stupidity in,the "a year in WCW"etc ones-both Kayfabe and hannibal are better than RF video(Rob Feinstein)

[@swfcocs1]

kenterminatedbygoogle pretty hard to get past Feinsteins past TBH

[@therealfrisco3859]

kenterminatedbygoogle Exactly my point.

[@swfcocs1]

kenterminatedbygoogle as appalling and inexcusable as domestic violence is nothing is worse than attempting to groom a child with a view to sexually assaulting them

[@troyelich9307]

I could listen to Larry The Legend for another 10 hours. Great interview!I'd love to hear a shoot with Bruno.

[@normancarr3015]

Larry was one of the best villians ever.I remember his feud with Mr WRESTLING 2 BACK IN 1983

[@chadpugh1490]

Look up the Regal vs. Zbysko match for the TV title. It's a great one.

[@Therealgeoffchilds]

Chad Pugh that match is why I’m here lol

[@patrickj9061]

Hannibal's talent in the ring is only matched by his talent outside of it - this is the only channel I sit for two hours and just listen. #ThankYouHannibal

[@donrajah1738]

one of the better Hannibal interviews. Larry Zbysko is so intelligent he really surprised me, you can tell these old-school guys can really teach the new generation wrestlers a thing or 2. I remember the Sammartino feud & Larry makes no excuses and admits Bruno was the key factor in the success of his career. 1:40:46 he says Arn Anderson was "not bad " on the interviews ???!!! Arn was known for his mic skills! !!

[@30907bng]

After year long teaser trailers, the larry whistler GNW shoot is finally here. Seriously you guys continue to kick ass in the shoot video world.

[@benashworth2278]

I've NEVER heard that Mike tyson /buster Douglas fight story anywhere from anybody

[@awesome4k824]

another awesome shoot interview. thank you Hannibal.

[@jayarbetman1873]

Haystacks story was too funny. Great work.

[@Byzantine41]

Great video tying in my childhood memories with more background knowledge along with an appreciation of a interesting man. What I like about this interview is you let him talk. To many shoot interviewers make it more about them then the wrestler. Great job and look forward to more of these.

[@TheShadow9380]

Awesome shoot interview again. Greetings from finland.

[@j_lo8916]

Thanks LZ for a great shoot !!

[@KeithFroehlich07]

Still sporting the AWA belt! #LarryLand

[@KeithFroehlich07]

@@MrNWA4Life what killed the AWA in Denver in the mid to late-80s was the fact that every time they had a big card with a hyped up main event one or both main event wrestlers on the card would pull a no-show. With the WWF starting to invade Denver no one started to give the AWA the benefit of the doubt.

[@frankporter6169]

Intelligent, sophisticated and great story teller. Should use his talents more in the media!

[@LarryC213]

"Living Legend" is an appropriate description for Mr. Zbyszko.

[@brianmcdonald7017]

This is the best interview Hannibal TV has ever done

[@mattl.3861]

59:00 Larry talking about how Vader heard Mike Tyson tell Buster Douglas to hit him now and thus throw the fight is the best story in this

[@jmc7504]

tyson knocked down douglas down a couple rds earlier & the count was slow

[@lenwennerberg1631]

Larry's heel turn on Bruno to this day remains one of the greatest things I've ever seen

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

Adopting Larry Zyszko as my grandfather!!

[@savagetilley2782]

larry was my fav comm guy on WCW. I loved him and Terry funk Old Age Outlaws.

[@DrShankenstein]

Great shoot! Thank you!

[@johnsawh8459]

really enjoyed this interview, you can tell by his tone of voice his fondness for Bruno

[@tomjones2348]

Wow. I had the exact same experience in grade school. I knew instinctively that the system was trying to indoctrinate me into a way of thinking alien to my own. And...watching the birds, yep, just counting the seconds until I was free to be outside and alive. Thank you, Larry, for sharing that.

[@jamesconsiglio311]

This and Superstar graham are my favorite shoots keep up the great work!!!

[@TheHannibalTV]

There will probably be a 2019 Graham interview done in April.

[@chadpugh1490]

I've never heard of a more respectful ex wrestler that put over everyone he was asked about. Even he, buried Bill Watts lol.

[@WintersLair]

thx for posting , really like Hannibale's interviews cause he's bin there done that

[@Yougotadollar]

Love the Legend!

[@rodzor]

The Fuji rib on Haystacks with the exlax had me dying

[@siblis20]

Met him many times when he worked for TNA, real nice guy

[@frankporter6169]

Sounds like Bruno is a class act!

[@walterkoziol3822]

More than most people relies.

[@ChickenChowMein77]

Imagine if Larry Z and Roddy Piper had fueded back in the 1980s or Larry and Ric Flair or Larry and Jerry Lawler... those would've been tremendous legendary fueds. Especially Zbyszko and Piper... two great talkers and dirty fighters. That woulda been wildly entertaining.

[@joeygana8864]

Yeah Larry, a real Man, with MORALS!

[@joegausch]

All PRO Wrestlers,Promoters should take a good look at Sammartino/Zybzko feud. Pretty much a blueprint on how to book a feud..

[@brucebudka]

WoW, fantastic interview with Larry, Lol, great Hilarious stories 😄👍, thanks HANNIBAL TV

[@donaldpainter956]

Larry used to talk shit to everyone and backed up alot of it

[@blastkill]

Another great shoot, Hannibal. Cheers mate. Hahahahahaha at the fucken Haystacks story.

[@victordewilde8639]

Thanks for turning me on to this interview. I would still like to know about the Shea Match ending. I am so happy to hear I am not the only human that doesn't drink for the simple reason I don't like the taste. lol You can really hear about the "Thinking Part" of the biz which he talks about. But more so to his points about the Proper use and stratgies of the Annoucers. I am not sure about your thoughts, I think its really clear with the Fan less shows currently being aired. The biz requires Good in ring performers but success is really based on the Full package. Good Inring, Good Annoucers Good Booking and Refs. But very underated the FANS. The best workers can feel what is needed to make the "Fans" React with out them. Its like watching Musicians sit and tune thier instruments vs preforming. Ty Again.

[@mfbinc]

i remember throwing the corner of a cinder block at larry's car when he pulled into the civic arena the first time he faced bruno there. if you weren't there, you have no idea the amount of heat towards larry. the crowd wanted his head on a stake. i've never seen crowd so hot before. the atmosphere outside the arena before the matches started was one of pure anger. easily the most memorable event i've ever been at and i've been to every sporting event imaginable except a world cup game. trying to tell a young wrestling fan the amount of hate that he generated after he turned on bruno is almost impossible.

[@tracym1208]

Peace Bro DUDE ! I REMEMBER THESE DAYS AT THE CIVIC CENTER... PEOPLE WERE SO WORKED UP BEFORE THEY ENTERED THE ARENA THEY NEEDED NO HELP INSIDE TO GO BUZZERK.... THEM WERE THE DAYS

[@steveviveney4796]

Been waiting a long time to hear the whole shoot. Would love to see a full shoot with Iron Sheik, Sabu, or Don Muraco. Keep up the great work Hannibal!!

[@stevenstokes464]

I've watched this in separate clips. Larry gives an amazing interview and is tactfully shitty when he needs to be while telling stories. If you haven't seen it, check out the Stan Hansen interview also.

[@matthewgranahan9759]

You gotta Love Larry! Great guy!

[@drexlspivey5828]

When we were kids we referred to him as Larry The Biscuit

[@ktloz2246]

Larry did his job well, to well. Never really liked him, well at least his characters. Watching these guys back in the day and hearing them now as the persons they real are, show how well they did their jobs.

[@brucebudka]

Great stuff Hannibal 👍Larry's the man, lol.

[@chadpenner5059]

Wow Larry looks great !!!! Good for him :)

[@tieneeddoawestruck2036]

I love these interviews. And being first in! Keep up the great work!

[@jamiemark]

I enjoyed this interview but would have liked to have heard more about his Georgia run. Would like to hear his impressions of guys he worked there like Tommy Rich, Wrestling II, Ronnie Garvin, Brett & Buzz Sawyer, Brad Armstrong.

[@finch45lear]

Great interview.

[@rokkvi1]

I think he´s spot on about Bob Backlund. Wrestling is not a real competition, so it´s about looks and showbiz. You need a champion who looks the part, one classic look was the Graham/Hogan/Luger/Warrior muscleman look, another was the Rogers/Flair/Michaels flamboyant look, but Backlund just looked like a kid or a smiley emoji.

[@Antihero297]

Larry was my favourite announcer in WCW in the 90's. He used to talk about how you shouldn't listen to women and stuff like that.. Lol. He was a total chad. They would never have someone like that in these politically correct days.

[@clintonwatkins3718]

He is a great interview! I hated him so bad as a kid

[@seka1986]

Excellent

[@DylanSpringsteen44]

Larry sounds like a cartoon character he's so funny to listen to. What a legend.

[@cruznewz6396]

Great Interview

[@BossChronicles]

awesome shoot Hannibal is there an email address where we can submit and throw some possible names of wrestlers for future shoot interviews ?

[@SuperMastodon]

Great shoot interview w/ The Living Legend! Hopefully you do one w/ Bruno and Backlund in the future!

[@ken7531077]

I was in a public restroom where Larry was taking a piss back in the 80's. I asked him for an autograph and told me to fuck off. #livingthegimmick24/7.

[@joblo3940]

HANNIBAL U GOT THE BEST CHANEL

[@kennycamaro2361]

Love Larry Legend

[@MrAitraining]

47:00 lol "just don't show up and they'll freak out"

[@dinobrya2]

"🎤BOO on me. BOO on me. BOO on me.🎤"

[@drunkrew]

1:28.11 Larry sounds just like Repo Man telling the Kerry story! Love this guy

[@phildirt3]

I love how the maids keep walking by

[@benvaldez5314]

LARRY! LARRY! LARRY!

[@inmyopinion651]

hahaha Ive made the flight to Tokyo many times. I can't imagine being on the flight when Haystacks in the back shitting in a garbage bag because he was to big to get into the toilet. I bet Fuji did laugh like hell and everybody else. Great shoot. Larry was a hell of a heel. I used to love to hate him.

[@jakeyukang9800]

At 53:40, Mr Fuji's Laxative rib on a plane! Lol

[@BlackPillMagic]

He bears a striking resemblance to legendary comedian Steve Martin.

[@sergioalvarez5949]

Awesome

[@rotortilttt]

That burger story was insane hahahaha

[@steveg7534]

Thanks Devon...great shot....get Corny...u2 r the best!!!! NCR!!!

[@danielescanaba596]

Hannibal caught Larry in a cheating story with Sensational Sheri in the AWA while with Verne Gagne's daughter, whom he was married too. LMAO Also, Larry seems cool but as you watch you can see he is full of himself. That makes he interview great though. Revealing. I still like Larry, he does have some bragging rights for sure. 1980.

[@marqueswilliams345]

Wow sweet AWA belt

[@skycaptaincharisma]

Lesson: Listen to the Living Legend.

[@anthonymoretti2909]

Did you know that Larry's REAL last name is Whistler??? He stole the name from a golden age wrestler named Stanlius Zybysko

[@Mark-sj3xb]

I don’t want to hear his real name! He’s Larry Zybyzsko.

[@reepacheirpfirewalker8629]

I love when I hear people talking about how fake Wrestling is. Especially looking at the many injuries that they sustain it's incredible

[@shane-irish]

King larry

[@chadpugh1490]

1:49:25 hahaha that look lol. Funny how Larry shot that look when Hannibal asked about Missy Hyatt being in porn.
