Story Time with Dutch Mantell - Episode 20 | Tales From the Territories Special

[@KylePrime_1986]

Dutch gave me a moment I will never forget the rest of my life. At the very first Starrcast I saw Dutch getting out of a car with a few heavy pieces of luggage and not a sole offered him any help so I decided to offer to carry some luggage for him after he got checked in he invited me into his room and took a few pictures with me. Thank you Dutch you're a true legend and a class act

[@kennedydelapena8681]

No tip ?

[@stephenwalters4019]

Story time with Dutch is best show on KZbin!!!

[@TheLoveMaster69]

I love Dirty Dutch Mantel! One of the greatest stars out of Memphis! Love Shoe Baby, too!

[@j03k0oldyer]

Honestly Dutch is a genuinely good person. He so good too his fans

[@guybroyles48]

I've never met him, but that's the impression I get from watching him on here. After all, he's from the south where people are generally much friendlier and more kind-hearted. 😊I'm from the south, so I'm biased, but it really is true. lol

[@johnsawh8459]

I love Dutch's story tellng abilities

[@LarryWhinery]

So glad to see Dutch and James doing well!

[@colemcgrath2619]

These behind-the-scenes stories of Dutch are so much better than others'

[@NickPR87]

That show is such a great idea! It's the stories we hear on a regular basis from Dutch, but with other legendary figures to substantiate said stories. I also really like Jeff Jarrett as sort of the moderator cause he has an unique perspective as a performer and growing up in the business.

[@ernielabarr646]

Dutch, I watch the You Tube videos from the 80's. I don't watch the new stuff at all. I was stationed in Wichita in the mid 70's and I saw you as part of a tag team and feuding with the Oats Brothers.

[@iamdb1990]

I agree with the "if something grabs you, you'll come back to wrestling" thing, I stopped watching 5 years ago and I'm still waiting for something to grab me back, I miss it, it's not like it used to be (and not in a good way)

[@martinschofield4895]

Yeah, I haven't watched wrestling in years, apart from youtube clips, but I love watching shows like this. I'll watch these podcasts about the old days all the time.

[@imafreakinhistorian2169]

Dutchman - Beating people up, is actually "Hard Work "

[@toma.4808]

Teddy got his first gig as an errand runner for Abdullah the butcher and Tommy rich in Crockett promotion .he got his first break when he was given a referee replacement at the chi town rumble event. From then on he worked his way from being a ref , to a manager, managing talent such doom, Norman the lunatic and the skyscrapers. Teddy is a legend. My Condolences to his family

[@pickettpride6980]

I can listen to Dutch tell stories all day.

[@gotobed7441]

lol that Terry Funk impression sure was something

[@kidguzzi_chrisgalardi]

New Dutch stuff...YES!

[@jester5173]

I agree with wrestling being an addiction. Proud addict since I would say 89-90. First memories I have are curling up on the couch at my grandparents house watching WWF. I don’t remember the first match I saw but what I remember catching my attention were the Macho Man promos. Roddy Piper. Hogan of course I was born in 86 lol so I’m prime audience for The Hulkster but I leaned more towards Savage. I grew up in a rural mill and agriculture town at the time and grew up around real Cowboys but I loved Motley Crue Van Halen Metallica and Macho Man was the perfect blend of cowboy and rockstar.

[@zachsparkman5252]

✋🏼❤🇺🇸 We the people!

[@ElimGarakSpoonHead]

Dutch is extremely based. Best episode ever 🤣

[@j03k0oldyer]

Love The Dirty Dutchman! 🥇 Such a Christian gentleman. Best heel in the Biz, prove me wrong!

[@jonathanhughes1318]

James, I know EXACTLY what Cornette story you're talking about. Hahaha. I think the guy's name was Fred Lampkin. "FUCK THE COMMISSIONER!!!!" Hahahahahaha!

[@stacymirba1433]

Thanks for this. I've been looking forward to this episode since I say TFTT on Tuesday.

[@boraonline7036]

Dutch is right. It is some sort of addiction. I don't watch it that often anymore, because the storylines are bad to non existing. But I still watch it from time to time, I look on the internet what i going on and I even play wrestling video games. And I also could watch a gazillion of other topics, here on youtube, but most times a watch or listen to wrestling related podcasts.

[@andremarc1275]

1:15 Mr. Mantell... The Back to The Future trilogy movies fans are the most loyal of all.... ;)

[@LordPeaceFrog]

Lol.😄 I love how Dutch so sweetly points out the xenophobia of the Japanese. University of Dutch💪

[@exspiravit6920]

HAHA Dude I was about to comment on that!! The way he matter of factly is like yeah you know how it's 98.4 racially pure there, and the British kid is like respectful but quiet and uncomfortable. I love older generations they don't give a rip about anything "sketchy" in modern socio-political topics. Good on them idgaf either.

[@LordPeaceFrog]

@@exspiravit6920 Good on ya.👍Most problems the younger generations point out have already been solved.....they just can't admit it!

[@danielb5658]

Teddy Long started out working backstage, sweeping floors, etc and worked his way up the ladder…

[@briangarrett3668]

I got away for about ten years. I had a triple hernia surgery so was laid up for quite a bit. Was also furloughed from my job two days before I was supposed to come back to light duty bc of the pandemic hitting. Between not being able to do almost anything followed by not going anywhere I started reading a lot. Finally started reading bout wrestling bc it was mostly pandemic crap back then so was looking for anything else. Sure enough it hooked me right back in. But can say I was clean for about ten years lol

[@jasonvanleeuwen572]

I love listening to Dutch talk about wrestling, the territories and all the workers from yesteryear. Wish I would've had Kongo Kong introduce me to Dutch that is if he knew him.

[@rudyrusso711]

Excellent stuff!!!!

[@profouch1144]

The lonesome pine special match with you and Jeff Jarrett was really incredible and a great thing the drummer actually was mark gouline who wrestled a bunch previously

[@donc7664]

Wasn't the horse with the broken leg bit part of an interview with Jimmy Hart when he started managing Handsome Jimmy? Cuz lawler had broken his leg playing football at home or something like that.

[@iangreenhalgh9280]

The Maeda match, it's a forward roll into a heel kick, i think it's proper name is a Koppo kick, you can tell from the way Dutch falls down that he's out.

[@Majere3]

I sense that Dutch is a bit worried about going on too many tangents, but i hope he knows he shouldn't be.

[@detective29]

Teddy long as best I can determine started in the old nwa in 1984 or 85 carrying ring jackets and maybe setting up the ring. I remember recognizing him on some old videos after he became a manager. Later became a referee and you know the rest of the story

[@peji911]

Confirmed: Dutch speaks perfect Japanese!

[@CM-ge9pz]

Amazing show. Your ip address is probably preventing your ability to watch the Vice show. When I lived in Europe that sort of thing would happen regularly.

[@daymonsmith2880]

Teddy Long started his career in Jim Crockett promotions in the NWA

[@WarriorSmurf]

On their KZbin channek, VICE has the first episode of Tales From The Territories.

[@boraonline7036]

Well, Dutch. Japan has changed. There might be people in Japan who are racists, but they arem ore open minded asyou think. A lot think rather the language barrier is a probklem, than what a person looks like or where he or she is from. Racism is a problem you have everywhere, regardless of WW2 or not. But again, it has changed. Watched enough youtube videos to know and I was there myself. So I can't confirm Dutch's experience from 2 decades ago.

[@reynaldoreyes9927]

13:57 uwf opening series(Japan) 4/11/84- 4/17/84 ( Dutch mantell 7 day shoot wrestling Japan tour bought to Japan by Terry funk)

[@jeycomiller4002]

I am from p.r. and love the old scholl of wrestling and the first 5 years of IWA now wrestling here is bad.

[@imafreakinhistorian2169]

Dutch swerved the Dundee question . There's some kayfabe going on there .

[@pickettpride6980]

Pro wrestling most definitely is an addiction.

[@Nomah1979]

No offense Dutch but anyone that is here and listening to stories from "Dirty Dutch Mantell" is old school and doesn't need an explanation on what the territories were. :) I think you will find your audience to be a well versed crowd

[@gms9655]

The stories are good though. Growing up in Fla in the 70's, we got both CWF and then Georgia Championship wrestling on TBS. Sometimes they showed the old WWWF out of NY on WOR 9 which was much different before it became "entertainment". The only thing I knew about the other territories was what I read in the magazines. Keep up the good podcasts Dutch and get the hell out of Florida! Hurricanes and cockroaches...

[@reynaldoreyes9927]

Dutch mantell wwc(Puerto Rico) 2/12/79- 9/1/1979

[@jeycomiller4002]

You learn more of wrestling here that see on AEW or WWE.

[@jallenw.67]

👋👋👋👋👋

[@markalan3108]

no sir...I was a wrestling fan from the 70's till the 90's. I am over this modern crap...i was a horseman fan back in the day...I never liked WWWF or WWF or WWE. loved my southern wrestling.

[@timplumb21]

Wait a minute I found and watched tales from the territories on KZbin so it is on KZbin.

[@andrewclayterman6230]

The "Indians" Dutch talks about were Chief Thundercloud and they called his son "the little drummer boy"..

[@andrewclayterman6230]

That assault gimmick was copied and used in Nashville by Nick Gulas... Tom Renesto was the booker/announcer the heels this time were macho man and lanny poffo with angelo.. they attacked Chief Thundercloud and his partner.. laid 'em out and the son got in the ring.. they were going to jump off the top rope on the boy when Renesto ran into the ring for the safe with the hammer they used to ring the bell... HEAT? Hell was cooler!! Probably 1978- 81...

[@VULGARxRM]
