Robert Gibson Shoots on Michael Hayes' Clumsiness, Jim Cornette Plane Ribs & Backstage Fights!

[@haskell71]

Robert has seen it all in his career. Was half of one of the best tag teams in the business.

[@TakeCareMan]

Thanks so much for doing one with just Robert. Look, I love me some Ricky Morton, but Robert can’t get a word in in those duo interviews. So great to get to hear Robert! 🙏🏼

[@duranduran6456]

This is AWESOME! I have never seen ANYONE interview Robert Gibson alone. It is cool to hear his stories alone. I have only heard stories about him or interviews where he is with Ricky, where he hardly talks haha

[@jeffnettleton3858]

The spot calling is a modern phenomena. back in the territorial days, you worked close up in front of small to large crowds, every day. You learned to call them properly. modern wrestlers work at a distance, one or twice a week (maybe 3 times) and get sloppy. Half weren't trained properly and were not mentored on the road, by veterans.

[@kingmorrison749]

Loved Robert's old school comment. They didn't say old school in his prime because they had respect....and you'd probably get stretched 🤣🤣 Love the interview

[@waynesworldofmodeling2574]

I love how he said back in my day everyone knew how to work something you don't see anymore

[@jnewsom1979]

Gibson so likeable.... seems so genuine and thankful. He's clearly in a great place, good for you, loved watching your matches as a kid!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@robertfrank615]

Robert is a man of few words... now I know why Ricky did 99% of the promos

[@danielb5658]

I actually remember pre R&R Robert Gibson. I first saw him on Saturday Morning TV, as a child, tagging with his brother Rick, in Memphis. One of the greatest tag team wrestlers of all time.

[@virgiljohnson9880]

Bobby Eaton nicest

Every time you ask the last man standing at the bar question my brain immediately asks “drinking or fighting?”

[@jaw-knee-5]

apparently Shamrock thinks the same when asked that

[@haworthlowell805]

Like the shirt Robert had on; James Gregory!

[@stacymirba1433]

James: Best payoff man? Robert: None of them. I can't tell you how hard I laughed at that.

[@MB-oc1nw]

Didn't know he got Michael Hayes into the business.

[@wrobinson1702]

Sort of. Robert and Micheal are about the same age, and grew up together in Pensacola, along with John Tatum. They were all big fans, but Robert had the advantage of his older brother, who was in the business. When Robert was a teenager, he was part of the crew supporting the wrestlers, and he invited Micheal (and John) to tag along. But, Robert was trained mostly by his brother, in Pensacola. Whereas Micheal went to Mississippi to train when he decided to get serious. My father was a "job" guy in Memphis and Mississippi, and was there when Micheal (and Robert and John) came in.

I really do believe Abdullah the butcher really did smell 😂😂

[@HellhammerSS]

So used to Ricky dominating the conversation, good to hear Hoot talk more than a few times.

[@JGD185]

Ricky Morton said usually you walk over and put it in, but Robert would put it in and walk over. Ya understand me

[@shaunclifton5281]

Watch the interview where James asks Robert about Rober Fuller. Robert Gibson says, " Watch out now" , but then says Fuller can put his in his knee pad. 🤣🤣🤣

[@fdeadlycommasir]

5:19. I never knew Robert was so quick-witted. I got a nice laugh out of that answer.

[@rickylavergne2588]

Tag team you wish you could of wrestled? 8:01

[@Fausto_4841]

Tell me this dude isn't Shooter McGavin's goon from Happy Gilmore. "You will not make this putt. Jack Ass!"

[@AmateurJoeski]

Ricky G. Was one of my fav wrestlers. I wonder who won, Ricky or Louie.

[@1Momofthree3]

The loudest spot caller? Gibson asks in the ring? 😳

[@dirkjewitt5037]

All these years I though Robert was, well, simple. Ricky should have let him talk more.

[@deonteross2996]

This is guy seems very coo great work in tags

[@andrewspencer-foster9504]

Cornette shotgunning a can of coke. I wish I coulda seen that

[@josephcolella3107]

As Bruce Prichard would say….. do do do.

[@wrobinson1702]

Robert sounds like he may be the nicest guy in wrestling. He refuses to criticize anyone, to his credit.

[@namelessbumpkin]

Ive seen both at shows but only talked to Ricky. However, Robert seemed incredibly nice though - he greeted my mom and I as we walked into the gym and was genuinely friendly with everyone. Ricky Morton was literally the nicest wrestler I've ever met. I saw him at a different show (coincidentally both were solo at these particular shows). Ricky is such a great guy.

[@jabrockobiden9434]

Back then you respected the ones before you, regardless if you thought they deserved it or not.

[@solyhhit]

You've never heard of Abby? Abdullah? Abdullah the Butcher? Watch some Stampede Wrestling stat!!!!

[@kevthegoat8774]

He meant never heard him mentioned as the smelliest wrestler

[@MrNatural73]

👍👍

[@keysersoze8648]

Mike Jackson was the greatest jobber of all time.

[@michaelrood2751]

Time for new questions. Loudest spot caller? Who cares!

[@septv9995]

I think that's a fine question.

[@wrongwayranger4736]

Like pulling teeth

[@1Momofthree3]

My thoughts exactly. Maybe he had too many hits to the head

[@tvtitlechampion3238]

Seems like one of those laconic types that doesn't say too much or talk out of turn, just a regular good ol' boy. There's a reason Ricky handles the mic.

[@tedmayer1597]

Maybe he was double thinking, what he was gonna say so he didn't get any of the boys heat with their families

[@wrongwayranger4736]

He wasn’t bad. I’m overstating . Hey Shooter want to go to Sizzler? That’s his twin

[@rayfordbrannon4118]

He gives a terrible interview

[@vonfreudenstein2201]

James, unfortunately that interview for you had to be like pulling teeth. Man that that was hard to watch. Love your work though.

[@G33kCulture]

I said "care to elaborate?" in my head about 45 times during this interview.
