Both Larry & Harley were among the toughest.

[@llll_The_Onion_llll]

You know he was tough if he refers to Harley as kid.

[@donjulio4025]

[@llll_The_Onion_llll]

A perfect son on drugs

[@scoh840]

Grew up as a fan in the Robinsdale area in the 60's and 70's. Managed some of the joints they hung out in the 80's and 90's. The boys got to know me well enough that they dropped their kaybabe guard and would share stories. It became apparent who were the druggies, who were the instigators, and who were the leaders. Unfortunately after a few drinks many of them would get rowdy and start to disrupt business by testing each other in small ways. All it took was a quick side glance by Larry and things would settle down in a hurry. Thank God I had him as an ally. As a side note, one cannot overstate how ungodly huge that man was.

Drinks always on the house for Larry! A small price to pay for the best security in town, right scoh?

[@scoh840]

@@curthennig9448 Curt my friend, Always good to hear from you! Reflecting on those days.... I think that wrestling, for the most part, destroys a human being. Leaves them broke, broken, alcoholic, and without purpose. Larry was cut from a different clothe. He had one love of his life. He was a dedicated parent. He had business ties in the community. I think he was a real-estate broker, and maybe also owned a flea market. So when his glory days were over, he did not need to drink and seek out attention. He could walk into a local business without saying "Look at me" I was once famous. I wish more wrestlers used him as a mentor. As opposed to Billy Robinson, Ray Stevens, or Wahoo, who would get drunk and fight.

so cool to see this old footage from these legends. thanks for sharing.

[@scoh840]

No one ever messed around with this man. Not in the restaurants, not in the locker room, Not in the ring. Not Billy Robinson, Not Meng, Not Nord or any other of the young Robinsdale set, no one

[@donjulio4025]

you have no way of knowing this

[@scoh840]

@@donjulio4025 Greetings my friend, Of course I have no way of "knowing this" for certain. A little about myself. I grew up a major wrestling fan in the Robinsdale Minneapolis area in the 60's and 70's. I saw these guys wrestling and on the streets. Into the 80's and 90's I worked at, and managed some of the places these guys hung out. They got to know me well enough to share some inside stories with me and let their kayfabe guard down. They would often get out of line and test each other in small ways. They would stir up trouble in the place. I saw who were the druggies, who were the instigators, and who was respected well enough to keep law and order and enforce professional decorum enough so that the instigators would settle down. The leaders did not want the whole wrestling outfit to be banned from a bar. If trouble broke out, all it would take is a side look from Larry for things to settle down in a hurry. By the way, Larry was a monster of a man, ungodly huge. I am thankful for the times he helped me.

[@Mog181818]

Meng???? You cannot be serious. Should have left that name out of your comment, may have been more credible. Sorry. Ask his peers

[@Mog181818]

ABSOLUTEY NO disrespct to Mr Race... I love him. He was The Baddest Man On The Planet (way beforer Mr Tyson ) But #2 sorry

[@scoh840]

​@@Mog181818 I am very serious. meng worked with Larry in the AWA, and he was very respectful of his mentors in the business.

[@thomastherriault8632]

A friend of mine and a buddy was drinking in a bar on Hwy 10 in Minnesota years ago and Larry walked in and sat down for a drink, probably going home after a match and the buddy starts on Larry from across the bar about how Larry did something bad the Crusher and was upset, so Larry just kept taking this guys crap and then finally said "If you don't be quiet, I'm going roll you into a bowling ball and roll you down Hwy 10" 🎳 😂

[@daveschannel747]

LEGEND/LORE LARRY! 💪 💪

[@williamwatson4625]

Larry passed away a little over 6 years ago. I never watched him in action but I saw his partner, Harley Race, in action countless times, both as the 7-time NWA World Heavyweight champion and as "The King" in the WWF. That was decades ago and I stopped watching wrestling ever since.

[@Anvil-wg2je]

Was the stabbing that time when Harley avenged it by doing a drive by shooting on the guys house?

[@TheRealClintEkert]

Whoa, that is shocking, not like ShockMeister levels> Also beware the Meng cus he bites people whn he fights

[@disgustingpharmaadvoiceact74]

I thought Harley always drove

[@bakslayer3032]

Harley was the King

[@Paulftate]

America 1st .... maga baby maga 👍

[@donjulio4025]

Lesson, How do you tell if a fake wrestler is telling a lie ? Their lips are moving. These guy's live a make believe world

[@ronmailloux8655]

when you make a stupid comment in the woods does anyone hear you

[@maxv3208]

I'm sure you can take Race. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@jcraig1848]

Why are you even here if you don't like classic wrestling shoots, just curious cause it seems like a waste of your time.

[@matthewcollins8602]

You do realize these guys came from legitimate backgrounds right? Harley was trained by the Zbyszko brothers. Do you know who Danny Hodge is? Karl Gotch? Verne Gagne? Kurt Angle? Beock Lesner? Lou Thesz? None of those are guys you'd have any chance against in a fight.
