I love this guy what an amazing career he had

tony atlas is a great person wwf wwe should take care off him wrestlers need a union

That's good.

[@baseddave3387]

he's a big dummy

[@NacheMan]

Tony, as far as your reputation for being slow, or not very smart.... You could have fooled me, sir. You seem incredibly smart, very articulate and you seem like a likeable guy. Great interview guys!

NacheMan, it was all a part of the wrestling act. The WWF are all actors, don't be so naive.

[@allwightallwong5045]

CASTDOWNSATAN Well then for an actor he did quite a good job convincing people

[@mylesa.williams6281]

Tony Atlas is a good man and a stand up guy. I enjoyed this interview the way he shared his insight along with experience of his life and career he shared. I was very touched and sad about the murder of Bruiser Brody but very impressed with Tony Atlas being the only person to help him. I'm glad he went to the beach and stayed there all night after the stabbing along with everything else that went on that evening and never going back in his hotel room if not for the wrestler Vega he would have been murdered. God bless Mr. USA Tony Atlas

[@allwightallwong5045]

Myles Williams Right. Funny how idiots accused him of leaving without testifying in court not knowing the reason behind it. They tell it as if everyone else their was concerned and he was the only witness. Smfh

This is one of the best interviews i've ever seen. Atlas has a heart of gold. Much respect to this brotha.

He does. God got His hand on him, it is obvious. God bless him and his family in Jesus' name.

What a humble man.. Seemed like he'd been through allot a REAL LEGEND.. Usually lose interest in interviews this long but both Atlas & the interviewer did really well.. Glad I saw it now very informative 👏🏾

100%! To the last word

[@JosephFrancisBurton]

Wrestling fan or not this was one fascinating and entertaining interview.

[@southsideman4891]

So agree

[@g0nzillamod315]

Met Tony just last fri at wrestlecon in new orleans. Stand up guy and nothing but respect for him. Mentioned his vid he put out not too long ago about him being homeless and said I'm glad he was able to push through it. Humble and genuine guy. Thanks for the autograph and the couple minutes to just chat brotha!

[@southsideman4891]

BIG SMILE ON MY FACE WHEN HE SAID THEY WERE MARRIED 40 YEARS!!! MAN...THAT IS SO BEAUTIFUL!...

Nobody tells better old wrestling stories than Tony Atlas! Jim Cornette is #2 to me! 31:42

Tony isn't very educated but god damn he's articulate and can tell compelling stories.

[@southsideman4891]

AND THATS ALL THAT MATTERS

[@bradnimbus4836]

I had to stop halfway for an appointment but I'm really looking forward to finishing up. I've never laughed so hard during an interview! That Andre impression was amazing!

[@garnettwoody7903]

Great interview Mr. Atlas. Thanks for being a role model showing what humility, hard work, and perseverance can do. You and Rocky Johnson winning the tag team Championship is one of my favorite memories of pro wrestling and the pride I felt in that milestone stays with me to this day. Continued blessings to you and yours Champ.

[@frednugent2310]

Tony definitely is an outstanding role model. He's one of the very few wrestlers who you could label a role model.

[@barbershoppodcast]

by far the most honest interviewee of them all - what a humble sweet great human.

[@BluesHarpJammin]

One of the best shoot interviews I've ever heard. Funny as Hell!

[@schoolcraft2850]

He's lucky bullets don't turn corners... lmao !!

[@rickhenry8035]

I find him 100% honest and hope he is doing well.

[@1KingCoop]

I was born and raised in Roanoke, still live there to this day. Mr. Tony Atlas if i ever run into you one day i'd love to sit and just talk to you, you seem like a genuine good guy.

[@michaelsanders1675]

whats funny is i actually did a year in prison with george wells. and he told me the same andre story 😂.

[@MrAitraining]

Tony may not have had a great formal education and mispronounces some words but he is no dummy. You can hear his awareness, insight and common sense in just about every story.

[@TristianKelly]

I grew up watching tony with my grandfather... top 5 favorite wrestler for me. I enjoy watching his interviews now

[@thomassmith1275]

as a little boy in 1979 living in georgia i couldn't wait to see tony or mr wrestling no 2 on georgia championship wrestling great stuff great guy

[@gp5676]

what a genuine and great man - I remember being a huge fan of Tony when he was in WCCW

[@ridercherrycola1068]

I met Tony in person. He told an old lady that I was his father. Only problem is I’m 40 years younger. The nicest funniest person I ever met.

[@anthonydrosos8679]

as a little kid I met Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas in the Boston Gardens when they were the Champions I was at a concession stand and they were jogging down the hall with the belts on obviously late

[@burnhislope6379]

This is one of the best interviews I have ever seen.

[@TrustJesus1611]

This is such an amazing interview. The part about Brody and his son had me tears. I lived in Puerto Rico for 5 years in the 90's and had a coversation with Victor Jovica in Cayey P.R. about me becoming a wrestler before I did. He was kind of a jerk to me. I walked away and pursued wrestling on my own and was successful in the Florida independent circuit. But upon meeting these guys, you can definitely sense the corruption and won't want to work a show for these guys. I know many people that were stabbed and even shot over wresting matches in those days in P.R.

[@TheRogueMonk]

MUCH LOVE TO TONY.... bless him

[@GilesArt]

YES!! - God damn, I LOVE this guy!

[@wonderoushistoryofclassicf9193]

Tony Atlas and Rocky Johnson were my heroes growing up man. Glad he's still going.

[@williammunny1844]

What a great person Tony Atlas is. He was mostly before my time, but I remember him as Saba Simba and in early 90’s WCW. Mad respect for him!

[@MichaelSimmons.]

Great interview. A good, honest man. Take care Tony.

[@Stormy-hy2ou]

Awesome interview Tony! I could listen to your stories all day man!

Amazing interview. Whatever personal problems Tony has had over the years, he's still a remarkable individual...with compassion.

[@therealjonpaw]

Tony Atlas book is the craziest thing I've ever read i think it should've been called "Black Superman" I hope wwe or someone will do a 3 disc Tony Atlas documentary called "Black Superman"!

[@TheHannibalTV]

We're going to be doing a follow up shoot interview with him next month that will cover other stories from the book.

[@chunky9791]

[@eddiecoyle9152]

Such a great interview,Tony has so many hilarious stories( His foot fetish stories had me laughing so hard!")....When I get my retirement check at the end of this month, first thing I'm going to do is buy his book,I wish only the best for Tony as he was one of my favorite wrestlers in the 70s and hope he gets good residuals from the book and hopefully W.W.E makes a DVD on him.....As we say in Boston,Massachusetts,Tony is one "Hot Shit"!!

Oh 1 More thing. If heard a interview with Tony from way back in 1991, his story has not changed at ALL. 100% word for word identical. Which for me indicates he is telling the truth.
