Tony Atlas Full Career Shoot Interview Part 2!

[@BlackJackJonnyy]

An amazing story, from an awesome dude who lived an incredible AND humble life and I feel honoured to be able to listen to his tales told by the man himself. Thank you Tony, thank you Hannibal TV !

[@albertseanchen7929]

BlackJackJonnyy agreed 👍🏾! Much more intelligent and articulate than the character he kayfabed back in the day. Knows how to tell a story and has had so many interesting events to tell of. Humble demeanor and down to earth. Truly enjoyed him tell of how his mother toughened him up when he was young. Love listening to him. Will purchase his book at a later date.

BlackJackJonnyy what up

[@regjackson8408]

I have heard how Tony could not read,was not educated ect. ect.Well Tony has a better understanding of the World now and during his past than most people. Give me more Tony Atlas interviews . I could listen to his stories for 5 more hours. Tony you are a great person,if only there was more like you!

Jeez I came in expecting a shoot interview, but I walked out with a handful of life philosophies, and a couple new insights in life...

When you walked out, did you walk out on his face?

@@bradleygamble1912 Yea, I realised the KK is not so bad. Thanks Tony.

Tony gets it - people don't wanna sit through 4 hour shows. Vince, Triple H and Bucky Beaver still don't get it...

Love Tony. So genuine and honest. No ego. Seems like a great dude.

[@ApothecaryGrant]

Devon , I want to thank you for putting these interviews in full on KZbin . These days people are struggling financially and stuck at home . Currently I am busted , broke ...but I will improve and when I do I will join and contribute in appreciation .

[@octonolite_0]

Thank you Hannibal TV for giving Mr. Tony Atlas a platform to tell his story and his many anecdotes about his experience in the business. He's truly a treasure and regardless of what anyone says about his work rate, one of the great legends in wrestling.

[@captainmarvel9610]

Tony Altas is the most street smart person I ever seen. He is a smart guy. Honest. Listen to what he says. He knows what's going on in the world.

[@awesome4k824]

great shoot interview

[@jihmns]

Tony's stories are incredible. Can't wait to check out his book.

[@kilog1kg]

Tony always comes across as being very credible. I understand his thinking regarding race but don't fully agree with it. Great shoot.

[@sonnygallo5662]

What don't you agree with ? You lived as a large black wrestler who came up dirt poor and you experienced the racism of the day he talks about ? So you don't have to agree. A sense of entitlement makes you think that it even matters. I pick truth over lying to myself 😉💯.

[@Firetrainer60]

@@sonnygallo5662 Ok. So the truth is that the KKK only cared about preserving the white race?

First time I’ve ever heard someone say anything good about Ole Anderson

Tony Atlas to me seems like he knew and knows his mistakes in life and is dropping knowledge on us to soak up and learn from.

they did a great job on it all i remember them being here. if tony wasnt busy chasing women and other things he would have been the first rock of the wwe. im glad to have grown up knowing him and being around him but know full well he would have been just like dwayne johnson.

[@1steve726]

The story he told about Tommy Rich happened in Marietta at Cobb County Civic Center. I was there! Abdullah beat him with a hammer and the ring bell. My Mom would not go back to the matches after that night. I, on the other hand, never missed the matches! Every Sunday night.

[@digitalmilkman5990]

tony atlas is the man

[@WarriorSmurf]

Warrior mentioned how Shane McMahon used to wait for him to walk into the room and jump from up high onto his back. He would then go "this is for the title!!", lol. That must have been a part of his early training. Saba Simba must have been the planned next phase of his training. Also, there has been mention of Albano showing up at arenas with his bottle of "orange juice", lol.

[@ellahosokawa4663]

Nice GODBLESS

[@evalsoftserver]

Tony Atlas Could have indeed be Mr. Olmypia his Upper body size was Arnold's size , and All he took was DBOL , Imagine if he had Trenobolone Acetate, Equi,Stanazol,Primo,Igf, Aromatizing blocking agents,GH,Creatine ect.

[@ApothecaryGrant]

The Black Superman gimmick got over in Dallas . It would have been smart for them to build up new faces to give the Von Erichs time to recuperate and get clean ....The Freebird Von Erich feud was so huge that they were beginning to be over exposed by the time The Von Erichs moved onto facing The Dynamic Duo . Mike definitely needed the time off he was not well , Kerry and Kevin needed rehab , and Chris should have been training to work behind the scenes to have an important role .

[@ApothecaryGrant]

Originally , the shoot was supposed to be a work but Ali had a crisis of faith about lying about the match ( or so the Ali camp tells it ) so he sent word to Inoki that it was a shoot just hours before they met . Inoki stayed on his back because he could not chance being ko'd . Those kicks injured Ali ...he developed serious blood clots .

What happened to Tony's eye brows?

[@rodzor]

You asked him something about Mr Wrestling 2 banging a ring rat and he talked over you, wtf was it?

[@TheHannibalTV]

I have no memory of it. You'd have to tell me the time stamp and I'll take a look.

[@elland37]

What about Bob Backlund? ( at 39:17 )

[@Mister75199]

I like Tony Atlas but his mentality is that of our uneducated southern older blacks. If given a chance he would have fought for the confederacy. Hogan more talented than Jimmy Snuka was. That is a huge stretch.

[@lemar2122]

He never said he was more talented. He said he was white so he appealed to more of the country, which is true. Hogan was the All American white man..

[@colincrume5451]

He mixed up Mr Wrestling 1 and 2, George Woodin aka Tim Woods is the one that Jimmy Walker had in a headlock and Mr Wrestling #2 John Walker is the one that lives in Hawaii now.

[@Mister75199]

You loss me Tony. The white man has never been the minority. Wwf has had white main eventers from the beginning. The outliers were Bruno, Pedro. I promise u Tony Atlas if he could would defend slavery. A well a, some people died, but weez was able to make our musculs big. Smh

[@MarioCavett]

Tony is such a self hating person. Rocky put in all those years and had to Tolerate this guy. You live in a race based world tony.

[@steve19745]

its funny how kids of today call vince racist and talk about how he will never put the belt on a minority ! they never saw any of the stuff tony is talking about here.

Any man with a "foot fetish" is a bit touched in the head to begin with. Feet get stinky and nasty like that's the last thing you should be attracted to who cares about some woman's stinking feet, so bizarre.

Backlund was the Viking ...but he was right ... Hogan was the second All American Champion ... and Snuka was Samoan ( he claimed Fiji just to differentiate himself from all of the Samoans and Tongan ) and his appeal was exotic .

[@rowds]

What? It isn't hard to verify that Snuka was born and raised in Fiji..Suva, Fiji. He moved as a child to I think Hawaii. But yeah he was straight up Fijian dude. 🤦‍♂️
