"Brooklyn Brawler" Steve Lombardi | Full Shoot Interview | WSI 85 🎤

[@sandmanontherun]

Steve’s dad was my shop teacher at Aviation High School in Long Island City Queens back in the late 80’s. His dad was super cool just like him.

[@missmollybooboo]

I went to school in the same area in the late 80s and was so obsessed with wrestling that I would have transferred schools in a second if I had known the Brooklyn Brawler's dad taught there, lol. I still live in Queens and Aviation is still a great school, a unique gem. A great time and place to grow up and a great time for wrestling. Then in the 90s with ECW at the Elks Lodge and Lost Battlion Hall...man, I only wish I would have been around when Sunnyside Gardens had wrestling!

[@vincentvega1979]

The 2 persons, that impressed me the most, of all shoot Interviews, are Jacques Rougeau, and Steve Lombardi. Could listen to it for hours. Greetings from Germany, i am a huge fan since 1992🤓.

[@markcafebrown2883]

James, YOUR THE BEST PODCASTER OF ALL IN THE WRESTLING SPACE

[@unicornkatie8566]

The way he says 3month sober better just saying last Tuesday lol

[@jasonsheffield8142]

That is a true living legend!!

[@Ironmike341]

I personally think he deserves to be in the WWE HoF. Greatest enhancement talent.

[@John-mg7fb]

He does an Amazing impression of the Ultimate Warrior! RIP Warrior!

[@sammydabull4001]

I WISH YOU WERE MAN ENOUGH TO ASK HIM ABOUT PAT PATERSON BANGING HIM MOST OT HIS CAREER 😂😂😂

[@jbfrom503]

Majorly underrated aspect of wrestling was the developmental wrestlers. The Brawler's & Horowitz's out there deserve more respect 4 sure!

[@keithbarbaro7590]

I saw Steve Lombardi debut at The Ridgewood Groves Arena in 1983.

[@Jason.1734]

I absolutely love these podcasts keep up the good work form Melbourne Australia

[@jasonmunsey246]

Very underrated. With out these guys we wouldn't have the break out stars. Brawler was the best of them

[@michaelproctor8824]

Hey! Good job Mr. Lombardi! You did well.... thanks.......

[@shakazulu8086]

He is so underrated and you can tell he feels that way too, and rightly so.

[@wonkeydonkeyTV]

Loved it 👌🏻 the Hulk Hogan of jobbers ♥ 🗽

[@delbertprince5302]

I love hearing stories about Hulk Hogan

[@CeemPlay]

The Brawler wants his recognition

[@rommyremus9650]

As much as we HATED job matches, they definitely made the guys seem larger than life

[@outsider4520]

I've never heard allot of positive things on Lombardi, but it's obvious to me that he a great guy. Anyone who could wrestle Warrior 50 times and still speak highly of him. I think u should do a regular bit with Steve.

[@craftchest]

The Brooklyn Brawer has wrestled any that is somebody. He is the book. I think he needs to make a book of his own.

[@rixmail93292]

Tell me you're bitter, without telling me you're bitter. 🤔

[@fredrubble4305]

You clearly are.

[@captainatheist3644]

I love the Brooklyn Brawler. I always rooted for him to win.

[@rudyrusso711]

Class Act Steve Lombardi 👍🏼

[@biggiefitz6275]

The Brooklyn Brawler is a Legend

[@delbertprince5302]

I am a big fan of the Ultimate Warrior……I love hearing the stories about the Ultimate Warrior……

[@hansjuker8296]

Ask him about being Patterson's lover

[@RickDangDoo]

Did Pat Patterson bum you rapid?

[@linop.9934]

WWE could have handled the Brooklyn Brawler character better... for me he remains a Great Wrestler... it's a pleasure to see this video. Greetings from Italy Steve❤❤❤

[@Batman-wv5ng]

Lots of wrestlers talk rubbish about Steve , but l think he’s nice intelligent man.

[@gotobed7441]

Teddy from Bogs Burgers

[@paulbuker9596]

Cmon Steve.,, they were 24" pythons lol

[@RockyHarmon-pu7td]

I think the brawler should have at least had an intercontinental title run. He wasn't great on the mic but he did know how to wrestle.

[@reynaldoreyes9927]

1:22:44 How Brooklyn Brawler got WWE World Championship Match against DX' Shawn Michaels 11/15/1997 in MSG

[@deanheiserUWSNYC]

Steve's a little full of himself.

[@martyflipman4737]

I don't believe a word this guy says. He's like the Hepners.

[@tadmyers5872]

How does the Brawlers head fit through doorways?

[@Dr.Meth666]

Through Pattersons arse

[@dinobravo8630]

All those years there teaming with and seeing other enhancement talent and he can’t even put one of them over?! I think he thinks he’s still trying to keep his spot as the top jobber lol

[@UndisputedMRecabo]

It doesn't have to fit, he let's whoever know where he's going so they build or modify the doors or any areas that his head is required to fit thru...OBVIOUSLY, COME ON!!! LOL... I really wanna like him, but he's like that kid we all knew at the bar trying to make sure everyone around is aware of his, well, just how amazing he is and how many people owe EVERYTHING to him... Who is buying worn Brooklyn Brawler clothes for 500$ "in seconds" ... Theres an ass for every seat I guess..

[@mattpeters6120]

Steve did the job for pat and the cream team! Common knowledge

[@zantara]

Having watched the matches with Bad News at the time, I disagree with him that the team wouldn't draw money. If they did the whole arguing with each other and still managed to eke out victories, I think it would have drawn good heat. They certainly would have been the matches I would have been tuning in to see. Wish he had not have gone on the Dark Side of the Ring tangent there, though.

[@RockyHarmon-pu7td]

The brooklyn brawler never looked weak while losing one of the few jobbers not to look weak while doing the job. He is right when he lost to the up and coming big name stars he had a part in making them.

[@ChaneVazquez-rx2dy]

Does this dude answer any questions!?

[@reynaldoreyes9927]

John Cena started in UPW: Ultimate Pro Wrestling in 1999

[@rixmail93292]

This guy and Donald Trump sound so similar, lol. 😂

[@TheJudgeofLevelstm]

I hope he's more truthful in part 2 He should talk about Patterson and Taylor.

[@delbertprince5302]

Rest In Peace Owen Hart

[@jbfrom503]

That's why he don't like dark side🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 they didn't show him.

[@MikeyMike-x4z]

I want Brooklyn Brawlers Brooklyn Brawler AND ABE KNUCKLEBALL SHWARTZ SHIRT!!!

[@stevekrause5931]

I'd be curious what Steve thought about wrestling in jeans. Seems like they would be difficult to maneuver around in.

[@CeemPlay]

Nash gave Vince the finger

[@CeemPlay]

The brawler

[@Daoloth]

Rocky V is better than any of the Creed movies :). They all have their pros and cons. Really like to hear the Brooklyn Brawler talk about The Prototype as I recall that. Then his Ultimate Warrior stories. How he would do the filming or interviews or things of that nature. I've seen him in anther interview on here a while back. I think most know the Vince Montreal thing was Work. Brett Hart blames Goldberg for him falling doing a move he shouldn't do. Guy was a tag wrestler a jobber not somebody who should have done a move on Goldberg. WCW it was clear guy was not even Mid Card level. CM Punk is another example of somebody WWE makes seem like a star. Sahsa Botch or what name is not The Boss outside of there ;). Always thought The Warriors thing was cool. He resembled Mister Met more than Sting :). Mets are my team over Yankees hehe :).

[@brianlogan4243]

Lol, arguing who did what for the Rock first. Lombardi has a huge head and was really just a stooge for the office.

[@TOMPM-du4dz]

i still think steve needs to be i9n the wwe hall of fame

[@dannysavagedraftguru]

Did Pat Patterson at least give you a Reach Around?????????????

[@roibaptiste3648]

🤣🤣🤣.

[@CubbiesMLB]

A rim job and a yank

[@deanheiserUWSNYC]

Brooklyn Brawler a tad bit full of himself. He was a jobbers for Christ sake.

[@delbertprince5302]

I disagree with the Brooklyn Brawler about wrestling on tv in New York. Wrestling was on tv in New York when I grew up in Brooklyn. WWF, AWA, NWA and World Class Championship Wrestling were on tv.

[@keithbarbaro7590]

He probably means when he was a kid in the 70's. Most fans knew WWF and hardcore fans like me knew about Championship Wrestling from Florida on ch.47. Cable television was the best way to watch non-WWF wrestling shows.

[@rixmail93292]

Tell me you have CTE, without telling me you have CTE....🤔

[@michaelproctor8824]

My longevity lasted. He didn't want to hear what he did not want to hear. Do you know what I mean?

[@TheSlowCyclist330]

Are the rumors about him and pat true?

[@michaelproctor8824]

He stooged on man mountain rock then?

[@RickDangDoo]

Did Pat Patterson Bum the Brawler Ragged as rumoured?

[@stevenjames3242]

Yeah I do not think he understands the point of Dark Side of the Ring. It has nothing to do with the WRESTLING. "I wrestled Owen 45 times" (Or whatever he said) "They did not show that".. Onto James's Book. "KING OF PRANKS" Pretty self-explanatory title. Am I in the book? I Wrestled him a lot, ya did not do your homework. LMAO. "How can you be an actor if you can't read a teleprompter"? Well, Actors memorize their lines, they do not use teleprompters. These really annoyed me, but overall, pretty decent interview and He WAS one of the best enhancement talents out there. But I am surprised he thought he was going to be revealed as the actual Doink.. LOL

[@michaelproctor8824]

Oh I see...... he want a James job...... a job from James I mean....... preverts

[@MrJesseslypig]

Man, Steve is insufferable in this interview.

[@mikegodlash8227]

That Jonn Cena story was complete bullshit!!!

[@delbertprince5302]

Brooklyn Brawler was a jobber

[@dinobravo8630]

I loved the Brawler back in the day but these are hard to get through. These are a world apart from listening to Shane Douglas who I could listen to all day talk about anything Doink wasn’t the biggest heel in the WWF at the time. Yokozuna was the world champ and a heel lol Did I hear him say he was with Bobby Heenan for 4 years? You tell him you wrote books and he dismisses that and wants you to use a tv show “Young Rock” as reference The only time Stings face paint would resemble Abe Schwartz would be when he started the Crow gimmick which was over 2 years after Abe. And you did wrestle with that gimmick using the MVP name in 93 You can’t put over one other enhancement talent? Lol are you afraid Reno Riggins is still vying for your spot as top jobber heel
