This is from Title Match Network's exclusive new series with the legendary Greg Valentine.
Find out why the Hammer says the Polish Powerhouse, Ivan Putski didn't like to sell during his matches. If you remember, Putski was one of the strongest competitors to ever grace a World Wrestling Federation ring.
Though Valentine and Putski would work together a lot in the 80s for Vince McMahon, they also wrestled as far back as 1973 when Greg was known as one of the Fargo Brothers.

One of the reasons I love Greg's interviews is he gives technical and "business" related information about the subject, and then even when he is critical of another wrestler, he still will give compliments and positive comments so he doesn't come across as being a bitter old jerk like a lot of guys do. Greg is really a class act.
Great point. Greg is why I come to this channel.
You beat me to it, these interviews with Greg Valentine are great, I love how he goes in depth about the wrestler he's talking about and yet, he'll say that Putski was tough to work with and then closes it out with a complement. I've watched a number of these interviews and Valentine never has anything bad to say about anyone which is the complete opposite of listening to an Ole Anderson interview as Anderson always seems to come off as a bitter old man.
Totally agree, he gives great balanced interviews with a sense of humour tossed in, great stuff.
The HAMMER 🔨
Valentines face falls were epic
Yes, hammer, you were a good worker
Met Greg this. Past Saturday one of the nicest guys ever
I met Valentine and Beefcake at an independent show a few years ago - talk about Polar opposites. Valentine came across as a nice guy. Beefcake came across as a total asshole.
Greg Valentines gimmick should be “ Pure Class” . Then he’d be living it 24/7 ! Long Live The Hammer !
Gotta live the gimmick brother!
I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Greg The Hammer Valentine at The Mirage Resort Casino in Las Vegas several years ago! A very cool guy!
The Hammer was the IC champ for 285 days back when having titles were hard to come by. Seems like everyone gets a belt in AEW. Just like all these kids today getting participation trophies. Greg Valentine was the real deal.
What a great wrestler and ambassador for the greatness of 70’ and 80’s professional wrestling! I was a wee lad when the Hammer was in his prime and he was a top heel so I disliked him then. Now I really appreciate him and what he means to the sport.
I would not want to mess with Greg Valentine in his prime. He was as tough as a bear and could go all day. That combination of natural strength and conditioning would have made for a very bad day for anyone who got in an actual street fight with him.
Greg "the hammer" was one of the alltime GREATS
I love his interviews. Even sparked my memory when I was 12, and my dad took me to the Richfield coliseum, and he was feuding with Beefcake. I made a big sign, "ban the barber" (i loved heels), and he winked, and kinda gave a thumbs up. I'm sure he did that every night, but it still warms my heart to this day.
I saw WWF about 12 times at Richfield back in late 80s, early 90s. Good times with good wrestling.
Fyi. Richfield coliseum is now a big field of weeds 🙁
Greg should have a podcast, always enjoy his takes.
I love Greg valentine. back in the day when I would see him on TV I really hated him but I knew I would see a good match. he was one of the heels that I really loved to hate but I always watched him intently because he was so good. it's nice to see him now talking about everything and I can see what a nice guy he really is. I wish I could see more of him. thanks for posting the interview and I hope you can do more interviews with him
I hated this guy when I was 8-10 years old back in the late 70's early 80's. Not so much anymore. Looking back on his career, great worker and comes off as a real class guy for one who's been through the grind of that industry for so many years.
Valentine still got the hair. Amazing!!!
Absolutely love listening to Greg. Thank you for video.
We should be celebrating Greg the hammer Valentine like we celebrate Ric flair Greg the hammer one of the best to ever do it in the ring style performance wrestling skills and the master of the figure 4 One in a million salute salute salute 🔥👍🏿🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑⚡⚡⚡
Love Greg Valentine. A total class act. Never runs someone down. I guarantee u wont find anyone who dislikes the hammer. At the time a MEGA heel. But now. Just a mello honest dude.
putski first wrestler i was enamored with as a youngster...polish power!!!
Ivan Putski was my favorite wrestler when I was 7, 8 or 9. My parents took me to a wrestling event somewhere in central jersey when I was 7 or 8 I guess I believe Ivan and Greg were there. I grew out of watching wrestling by the 6th grade.
You know you're short and muscular when Greg calls you a fireplug.
Lol
Hammer doesn't get nearly enough credit for being a great ring general. He could pull a solid match out of most anybody.
I used to watch Valentine Saturday mornings in the early 80s when he both teamed and then feuded with Flair in Mid-Atlantic. I thought his matches against Flair were classic and always had a big fight feel even though, as was the norm back then, the matches were in a television studio with a small crowd. The MAIN reason I wanted to post a comment though is to say that I'm really surprised with how good Greg is on the mic in this kind of setting. He's a great interview. He's very interesting and if he had a podcast I'd bet money that it would find a good-sized audience.
No one like The Hammer! Nobody ever fell “flat” on their face like him! A pure tactician!
Putski used to compete in those World Strongest Man competitions back in the 70s. He was tremendously strong. If you find pics and vids of him now, he's a teeny, tiny old man.
I use to watch ivan and greg when i was a kid and my mom would laugh every time they said putskis name cause she was slavish and could speak polish and she said putski in polish is the word for the female lower extremity....ha ha never forgot that rip mom
Respect to the 🔨
My two favorites the hammer and Pedro. Giving my age there
Growing up my favorite wrestler was Greg’s dad Johnny Valentine
Good to have the Hammer back in my feed
Putski did not want to sell for anybody. He just wanted to look like Superman. He could not take a bump either.
Greg I love these videos. I hope I can meet you some day. I watched you and Rick Flair alot when I was a little kid.
Best story teller in the business
I saw Valentine vs Putski June 1982 Pittsburgh Civic Arena. Putski won.
Funny I Used to HATE GREG! Now I Love him!
always loved greg
Valentine seems like a very cool guy
My dad used to take me and my brother to watch gregs dad johnny wrasle FKH
Good ole Ivan Paduski, the gremlin from Krakow Poland.
This old Woman knows her wrestling
Ivan Putski was one of Booker T's mentors along with Dusty Wolfe.
I wasn't surprised that "The Hammer" didn't like working with "The Polish Hammer".
The WWE Hall of Famer just wanted to pose and focus on power moves.
Ivan had a great body but, I agree with Greg, couldn't work, sorry.
Greg Valentine is Polish 👍
This legend drew 💰
I love what he's wearing! I want to know where he shops!
His style and swag is still impeccable ⚜️
great video ty........
The Hammer needs A podcast
Awesome.
Greg The Hammer Valentine is the best in my book look at all the robes the hand chops to the neck coming off the second rope with the two hands hammer one of the best like I said to ever do it it stays performance the way he walked even the way he fell performance I give it 100% 🔥🙏🏿🔥🙏🏿🔥🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👑👑⚡👑⚡👑⚡⚡👑👑👑👑
I saw A few matches of Greg Taking on Ivan
I heard the other day that Scott was a detective now.
Ivan Putski was ehhh...Hogan kinda stole from him also...Putski was the first I saw do the "Hulking Up" way before Hogan only Putski didn't do the "YOU" and point after
Ivan Putski the greatest wrestler ever!
where did greg find that jacket he has on? i saw that kind of material used for curtains in a funeral home in texas years ago.
The Hammer was a cut above Ivan Padooski.
That coat is sick. Can I borrow it for a Vegas trip?
I distinctly remember a match between Valentine and Putski in which Valentine locked in the figure 4, and Putski clearly yelled "no" when asked if he quit, then the ref called for the bell and awarded the match to Valentine, despite continued protests from Putski. Even the commentators acted like it was a legit submission. Screwjob, possibly?
Greg. Your not a good worker. You sir are a great worker. Top notch.
I thought Putski had a cooking show on public tv..
Greg The Octopus Valentine. probably would not be taken too seriously.
Absolutely not. 😂🤣
Greg just had to say turtle. 😁
Lol Greg Valentine saying someone else looks like a turtle
I would have let putski win every match...he was over huge..and I think he could have made a good champion.
Valentine looks like my FEMALE second cousin.
Pa zijn vriend.
Tremendous talent has a PHD in selling!!!
Ivan Putski was dining at Ed Zaberes in North Wildwood my mother waited on him forgot his salad he told her she said Sorry I will get it right a way he said never mind, Left no tip and she was fired, She was trying to raise 6 children.
Damn. He slapped my classmate from 8th grade for running up to him in Ferry Street in Newark. He cried hysterically.
@@A_TH-cam_Commenter Hes a pig He should have been arrested hitting a child
I just noticed how small Valentines hands are …. Just a random thought lol
Wide as hams
Valentine was 100 times the worker Putski was!
Well you missed out
Ivan Putski was a 5’6 roid head stuffed with 7 foot tall ego. Not a believable sell, but a big draw on East Coast where ethic pride still was huge and there were giant proud (rightfully so!!!!) Polish communities to buy tickets.
Greg wasnt a skinny manlet himself,he was thick and bulky,I mean look at his neck!
I remember all 5he polish jokes cuz of him...I still laugh at all of them
Any stories of The "Mad Russian" Korchenko?
Putski used to sing after matches. I would rather listen to Lassie bark than that.
the appeal of putski eludes me to this day
Muscle heads
