Greg is from the era when wrestling was worth watching..the hammer was one of the best

[@aarongabriel2571]

Every wrestling game he is my first CAW

[@JaceyMitchell]

I think this is the first time anyone has referred to Dynamite Kid as "a little bulldog". 🤣🤣 Love the Hammer. Such a good worker. On a roster with so many giant egos, having a guy as reliable as Greg made him worth his weight in gold.

[@bumlookercheekymonkey3985]

I understand Greg was a heel and it’s a work and all, but am i the only one who’s completely surprised at how nice of a guy he is?

[@ATMyles]

I always think that when I see these interviews. I don’t remember him as anything but a heel when I was a kid, and he came off like a real (tough) SOB. Out of the ring, seems like a totally down to earth, cool guy.

[@Opheggie54]

It's basically the same as being a performer on stage

[@mbrandau]

I met him in 1983/84 as an 11/12 year old at a local high school show in Bellport, NY. Tito Santana gave me the no mas BS for autographs and I was upset looking depressed. From across the gym, Rocky Johnson saw the whole thing happen, pulled me over and made a life long, lasting positive impression on me as to how a celebrity really should treat fans. Hammer came over and gave me a hug. Super nice guys and still remember it like yesterday, 40+ years later.

[@williamberry8895]

Nope he's my favorite wrestler to listen To. He's got a nice guy aura about him.

[@paulknight5300]

I'm thinking the same thing

[@e.d.h.5605]

The Hammer is amazing, and his memory is incredible... His stories are also amazing, and so is his hair!!! GOD BLESS... 👍

[@stuartmorris6299]

Its feels like a privilege to have The Hammer still with us, not that he's super old but so many wrestlers pass away young. I like him in his yellow boots. Really cool.

[@1InterestedNot]

Hammer's one of my favorites all time, I could listen to his stories all day.

[@gianlucad8003]

Couldn't agree more.

[@kingofallmountains]

I love Valentine as a wrestler and he seems like a cool, down to earth guy. I love hearing him speak and would love to read a book by him.

[@chriscolwell2691]

Greg does an amazing job of telling the history of this time....really good stuff and cool insiders stuff.

[@edospina97]

Greg describing Adrian's head had me rolling 😂

[@markbruschi6391]

Greg gives the best shoot interviews. Dan Spivey is a great person. I asked him to talk with a bunch of troubled school kids. Dan jumped right in and did an EXCELLENT job. Dangerous Dan the Left Hand Man, you are AWESOME!!!!

[@JaceyMitchell]

Yeah some people have tried to paint Dan Spivey as a bully over the years, but I don't think he ever picked on anyone who didn't have it coming. As much as I love Adrian Adonis' work especially before the adorable gimmick, the man was totally coked out by the end of his life and took liberties with people. I also met Dan a couple times, and he's always a total gentleman. Just a really good guy.

[@george.s.8491]

Greg seems like a super cool guy.

[@Provos7777]

Just don’t pay him up front

[@ThunderFist1978]

I met him twice, and neither experience was particularly great.

[@george.s.8491]

@@ThunderFist1978 awe man that’s a shame.

[@ThunderFist1978]

@@george.s.8491 When you meet a wrestler, I think it’s safe to assume that one expects to see a certain level of energy and personality from the wrestler, and Greg just doesn’t give you that energy or personality. The way he was talking here is basically the way he spoke when I met him, with the same tone and the same level of energy, and just all in all it seemed to scream out that he would have rather been somewhere else, and was only at the appearance to get paid. For example, a friend was with me the first time I met Greg, and my friend had spent the last of his money to get a DVD set that Greg was in (we met him at an indoor flea market, so something like that wasn’t hard to come by). Greg responded, “If you buy a picture, I’ll sign that”, which I can understand, since he was there to make money, but he said it with the exact same tone and lack of energy as you see here. My friend had his infant son with him that day and left his son with me while he went to the ATM, and to be funny, he told me he would pay Greg $50 to kick my butt if I didn’t watch his son, and Greg said, “No I won’t”, in the same exact tone and lack of energy. Had I been in his position, I would have glared at the person tasked with watching the kid and said, “You heard him! I’ve got my eye on you!” But we didn’t get that level of personality from Greg, and the second time didn’t go any better, but at least there were other wrestlers who showed up both times. The first time, April Hunter and Koko B. Ware also showed up, and the second time, Honky Tonk Man and “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan were also there, all of whom seemed like they wanted to meet fans. Honky Tonk Man and Hacksaw, in particular, displayed the same personality and energy level I was hoping to see, which made meeting them fun.

[@williamberry8895]

Hammer is my favorite wrestler to listen to. He's such a nice respectful man. I'd love to just sit down and talk about stuff, not just wrestling. He seems like a real, life, experienced dude. Who never has a bad thing to say about anyone. An attitude lots of people should strive to be like. The comment section I'm sure someone will 💩 on my comment. But in a world of social media it's what I've come to respect. But anyone who disagrees with me that Greg is a champion at shoot interviews it's your attitude and opinion that's 💩

[@stevezylla2350]

The Hammer does the best interviews! Good story teller in the ring and out of it .

[@alwilson3204]

There's few better than him and even fewer I'd rather hear telling wrestling stories. So glad he's still with us too.

[@themobseat]

Imagine how bad Adonis was beat for it to make Greg cringe as he describes it!

Greg Valentine is a snappy dresser.

"Adrian looked like an alien" - Greg Valentine 😯

[@opencurtin]

I remember Spivey in the 80s as a kid I used to think he was a boring version of Hulk Hogan.lol

[@markdaigle4030]

Valentine was my Flair. He should definitely write a book, and share his road stories.💯

[@tommypearson9260]

I agree with this they were basically the same just Greg was tougher though!

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Adonis had some epic matches with Backlund. As did the Hammer. I was at msg for them as a child. Amazing times.

[@nathano9637]

Dan the Left-hand Man ✊🏼😂 I love hearing this story. Classic story of a bully getting put in his place. Glad Dan finally got a little shine in his retirement. Wylan Mercy is still one of my all time favs

[@vincent7390]

Some people have the job kind of voice and a way of telling a story that is completely engrossing. I could listen to Greg all day. Great wrestler, and seems like a top bloke too. 👌👍

I was just getting into wrestling when The Dream Team was around , and that was the best work Brutus ever did in my opinion . Maybe cause Greg was his partner ? HMMM...

[@GroverJ83]

I have heard Hogan say an interview the locker room was gutted when Adrian Adonis got fired,because if you couldn't get a ring rat for a night on the road Adonis was generous and would let all the guys on the roster use both his hole's like a Cbucket.
