Tully Blanchard, Arn Anderson, Barry Windham, and The Nature Boy Ric Flair: Without any question the best Four Performers Ever Assembled as a Unit. All Great Workers and in my opinion Tully shined the brightest among his fellow Horseman on many of occasions.
I would just curse at the tv every time dusty or someone would be able to get a belt someone would interfere and i threw the tv down a few times ! Thanks for your talent Tully and the memories
Best heel in wrestling from 84 to 89 I tuned into JCP for 4 years every saturday and my main goal was hoping to see Tully get his ass kicked. When Dusty came in the Midnight Rider outfit and attacked Tully at the end of a program that was the happiest I felt at the end of a JCP TV program
Part of his heat gathering was the conviction of John Q Public that they could kick his ass. Tully escaped consequences on the regular, and that kept the crowds coming back all those years, to see his ass nailed once and for all. Never happened. The bad guy won a lot, just like in real life.
Tully has a great look. I remember watching him, and Barry Windham on NWA when my cousin would come babysit us. Then we'd go put the figure 4 leg lock on each other to see how painful it was. Pizza and wrestling. Can't beat it. Thanks for making my childhood memorable
Tully was such a cool heel. Tully Magnum was a great feud in 1985. Tully made the 4 Horsemen fabulous. WCW made a big mistake not resigning Tully to reform the original 4 Horsemen.
James, great interview. I enjoy hearing Tully tell stories. He is definitely a diplomatic presenter. That leaves a person a way out😂 In regards to the "Old Timer" who had a diet of garlic in the Carolinas, it could have been Abe Jacobs. I heard that at one time he would eat purple onions like apples. Abe recently passed away at the age of 95. There may be a lot to say about the regimen. He also kept himself in good condition.
CHILDHOOD HERO right there! I thought he was just 😎 COOL! I also like how he pauses and thinks about his answers instead of just shooting from the him a bunch of nonsense.
Just watched a 85 show from World Championship Wrestling n it's famous Ric Flair its hard to hold these gators down show . Every top guy promo is on point ! Tully n TA angle is right before they have the match they both get carried out which leads to I Quit Match .
Very business man (very professional) great work ethic and dedication to the business one of the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Patterned himself after the all time hero’s that enhanced his persona ! NEVER afraid of hard work !!!!!!!!
I'm gonna throw a flag on Tully saying that he faced Dory while Dory was the World Champ. Dory's final year as champ was 1973, which would have made Tully 18 or 19. And I've seen that Tully's rookie year was 1975.
Generally I don't stick with i interviews this long but this I stayed until the end. Tully was always my favourite Horseman. Listening to him you can tell why, he was a pure professional without over indulging which ruined other greats.
What do you think about "new era" promotions breaking away from traditional choreography (arm & wrist lock exchange, snapmares, irish whips into leap frog/clothes line, sleeper head locks, roll up/small package pins, suplexs, tag team stratgems)? ...
Got to remember that he's on his best behavior, speak no evil and all that, because he believes he's being watched by a higher power. This mindset demonstrates a large measure of caution, bordering on paranoia. It's a feature of serious Christians, the kind who believe in the existence of Satan. Conduct is important to not be considered led into temptation, especially on video.
Alot of great heels in wrestling over the years ,personal fans, muraco,shieky baby,terry funk,flair,piper,gino hernandez,brody that being said Tully was right up there in that conversation ,seemed like such a arrogant ,smug jerk ,he played his character well,and the slingshot suplex I don't think I've ever seen anyone else use that very signature and memorable,also loved the late great adrian street,beautiful bobby eaton,ravishing ric rude
Truly was the perfect heel. He had a sneer, a 24/7 look of contempt towards the crowd that seemed legit, not put on. Regarding his not answering questions or being diplomatic, I attribute that to his being in the prison ministries, that he's not *really* going to dish out gossip or talk bad about folks 🤷
Indeed. He's probably also not going to want to talk about his previous incarnation, as if that guy died. You KNOW that guy would talk shit and shoot from the hip, because that's what brought him success. The deal, as he conceives it as a serious adherent, is that he had to change his ways, and studiously avoid being that other guy. Funny how that guy emerged a bit while talking about his conversion, where he allowed himself to crow. It's part of the acceptability of proselytizing in the Christian faith, to channel that animal aggression that made him such a great heel. That bit about being a killer was a piece of hard-won wisdom about what the crowds respond towards. Now, he's trying thwart that impulse. The night he got that phone call from Flair must've been terrifying, but it's possible he was already thinking about it. Only he knows.
I mostly only remember him in the team with Arn. I don't think they ever fit or worked right in WWF. Lex Luger was probably my favorite Horseman. Barry is too tall and lanky. I never really thought he worked out or the group was that great. Flair I could not stand in the least heh. Not that I changed my view of him Woo. Its interesting to hear about him as singles guy. Dusty Rhodes failed as a booker. I can relate to having people complain when doing things well. Just doing zones for MUDs the other admins would say I was making them look bad by working or doing it according to the standards in the Editor Doc. Never thought of WWF as trying to top the matches or do better. I don't think he talked about the Road Warriors or Tessa Blanchard. Magnum TA I don't think was the Main Event Talent to carry NWA. I wonder why AEW ditched him etc ;)?
@@chrisvietro4360 Cool I used to be friends with Lex Luger on Myspace. He actually talked to me or replied a few times so it was a big deal for me. I feel so bad for him being in that situation.I was really into that kinda cut body like Rick Rude and him. I was always into that Torture Rack. I even have the Lex Luger figure with that literal item from ToyBiz. I have it up on here with my WCW Jeircholics shirt if ever bored :). They claim they invented the clotheslines for him but dunno how true that is ;). I like how he got his name.
@@milla7391 Yeah that is why I don't like Barry really. His body didn't do it for me at all. The overly tall lanky guy or so. I was not a fan of Arn or Tully really. I was into Real Workers like Ricky The Dragon Steamboat the Greatest NWA Champion until Sabu. Your free to like refuge or Dustry Rhodes or Trash if you want. That just shows you don't know wrestling is all :). Steven Lombardi the Brooklyn Brawler is the Greatest Worker :). You probably think Bray Wyatt was Good too :).
The story with Manny Hernandez has been told by Manny on like every interview he has ever done he has said Tully started a fight with some bikers while Manny was in the restroom and came out to find them beating on Tully so he jumped in to help and got stabbed meanwhile Tully ran off screaming for help and then refused to give Manny a ride to the hospital because it was a new car and Manny was bleeding pretty bad but thats Mannys side of it Tully has never commented
I guess James is getting famous since hes putting face shots of himself along with the wrestler hes interviewing... sigh, And another channel's hubris ruins a good show I wanted to support... sigh
I agree. That was the only time a semblance of the kid from Texas came out. It had a familiar rhythm to it. I also get the sense that he has to take the temperature of the crowd to get to the heat. He's a worker bee who is agreeable to take orders, but he's practical, and works best as the ring general. Abstraction doesn't seem work for him particularly well, as he wasn't invited to be on the creative team, but he has demonstrated a keen sense of situational politics over and over. As he said, his job is make the crowd scream. Story lines don't do that. Vince is so very wrong about his fake gladiator approach: it's condescending and arrogant, even if it's successful for kids and mass consumption. I like vanilla ice cream, but not in the ring.
i dont know why AEW cut hes time on screen and then let him go - especially as their own guys have as much talent as a banana skin! everyone rattles on about FTR but without Tully they just look like a spice girls cover band looking at the past without any content hes promo with Shawn Spears is BY FAR the best promo AEW ever had! and once again without Tully - where is he now... NO WHERE TONY and the rest of the wrestling world in AEW need to understand that you can flip flop and fly as much as you want in the ring but without a mouth and getting the crown going your just another grain in the sand!
He's also actively disavowing THAT guy. Right Thought, Right Action isn't an outright fib, but he's saving his confessions for a more private forum. He was great in his prime, but I wouldn't necessarily want to hang with him then.
But he’s being honest. And has admitted his memory isn’t the greatest from years of drugs and working in the ring. Good Christian who stays to himself. If you want dirt there are a million shoot interviews online. lol

Tully Blanchard's heroes of wrestling promo is STILL one of the best promo i heard in my life!!!

I would just curse at the tv every time dusty or someone would be able to get a belt someone would interfere and i threw the tv down a few times ! Thanks for your talent Tully and the memories
Frustrating, like the legal system
Tully Was So Talented And Was The Best Heel That Ever Worked In Jim Crockett Promotions Days !!!!!!
Best heel in wrestling from 84 to 89
I tuned into JCP for 4 years every saturday and my main goal was hoping to see Tully get his ass kicked.
When Dusty came in the Midnight Rider outfit and attacked Tully at the end of a program that was the happiest I felt at the end of a JCP TV program
AA said he sent some guy to go buy Andrea 3 more bottles of wine
Part of his heat gathering was the conviction of John Q Public that they could kick his ass. Tully escaped consequences on the regular, and that kept the crowds coming back all those years, to see his ass nailed once and for all. Never happened. The bad guy won a lot, just like in real life.

Only thing more boring than a Tully match is a Tully promo only thing more boring than a Tully promo is a Tully shoot
Had the privilege to meet him. What a super guy. Good bless him.
James, great interview! If and when you interview Tully again, please ask him about Adrian Adonis. They did cross paths in Texas.
They worked together with Gino and Bert Prentice who was gay in rl. Tully gave Bert his start as Christopher Love.
Tully was such a cool heel.
Tully Magnum was a great feud in 1985.
Tully made the 4 Horsemen fabulous.
WCW made a big mistake not resigning Tully to reform the original 4 Horsemen.
Enjoying this interview. Tully has a rep for being prickly but he genuinely seemed to have fun here
YES JAMES AND TULLY IVE SO BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!!!
Tully had heat !!
James, great interview. I enjoy hearing Tully tell stories. He is definitely a diplomatic presenter. That leaves a person a way out😂

I wonder if Tully told James to not ask him about Tessa.
She's still wrestling but it's sad that Tessa is only wrestling in the indies.
James wrestles answers from Tully like a real pro, well done. 😅
Did realize I didn’t need my ambien tonight I have Tully Blanchard
CHILDHOOD HERO right there! I thought he was just 😎 COOL! I also like how he pauses and thinks about his answers instead of just shooting from the him a bunch of nonsense.
Heat, heat, heat. Tully had heat.
Brain Busters vs The Rockers so many classics.
I can't imagine Tully as a BabyFace.
45:44 best answer ever
Just watched a 85 show from World Championship Wrestling n it's famous Ric Flair its hard to hold these gators down show . Every top guy promo is on point ! Tully n TA angle is right before they have the match they both get carried out which leads to I Quit Match .
One of the best movies ever, also Rocky, Rudy, Big Troublr In Little China....da classics!
Very business man (very professional) great work ethic and dedication to the business one of the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Patterned himself after the all time hero’s that enhanced his persona !
NEVER afraid of hard work !!!!!!!!
For my daughters 4th birthday she got a 4Horsemen photo signed by Tully Blanchard 😍
"You know, all I do.....in life....is get dressed QUICK"👈🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm gonna throw a flag on Tully saying that he faced Dory while Dory was the World Champ. Dory's final year as champ was 1973, which would have made Tully 18 or 19. And I've seen that Tully's rookie year was 1975.
You are one of the best Greensboro 1 4 Horsemen still rule the best of the best Thank you Tully for all the great wrestling matches
Legitimate, legendary... The Horseman. Wrestling Legacy. 🤝🤝🤝 One of my favourite pro wrestlers of all time.
Generally I don't stick with i interviews this long but this I stayed until the end. Tully was always my favourite Horseman. Listening to him you can tell why, he was a pure professional without over indulging which ruined other greats.

That was like pulling teeth, good job James..
Tully reminds me of Kevin Wacholz. He's always on his guard, as if he's afraid of Gotcha situations.
Because he is. Afraid somebody will ask about Gino and what happened between him and Joe
Got to remember that he's on his best behavior, speak no evil and all that, because he believes he's being watched by a higher power. This mindset demonstrates a large measure of caution, bordering on paranoia. It's a feature of serious Christians, the kind who believe in the existence of Satan.

Good interview, although the Name Association segment was a bit disappointing, as Blanchard seemed reluctant to name names.
I thought they were interesting segments with Tully. Did he ever talk about his rose colored glasses back in the Crockett days?
Tully getting ready for his presidential nomination. He didn't answer a single question.
At least, he didn't outright lie about stuff
What do/did you think about P. Heyman, & the ECW promotion/biz entity?
How "actual" was the Horsemen/D.Rhodes' feud?
Every other answered question, Idk😅
...favorite/impressive debut? If Sting or Nikita Koloff is the choice... I'd like another choice, please.
Tully NWA TV Champion....The Sling Shot Suplex...Still the best finisher in wrestling!!! #4Horseman4Life
BROKE BACK CUPCAKE!
Any throw backs to Japan &/or other countries?

Barry Windham is one of the greatest workers of all time. Do you even know wrestling?
I agree with the lex opinion. Right on. Love hearing from lex fans. He’s my favorite all time wrestler. Vastly underestimated

What about the Snuggery?
Let's get to these questions that im not going to answer
I got a CMPunk story! Cindy Margolis
The story with Manny Hernandez has been told by Manny on like every interview he has ever done he has said Tully started a fight with some bikers while Manny was in the restroom and came out to find them beating on Tully so he jumped in to help and got stabbed meanwhile Tully ran off screaming for help and then refused to give Manny a ride to the hospital because it was a new car and Manny was bleeding pretty bad but thats Mannys side of it Tully has never commented
What are some new things, you & others didn't have... that new era takes for granted?
Sad how you got done but at least u turned ur life around 😊
I guess James is getting famous since hes putting face shots of himself along with the wrestler hes interviewing... sigh, And another channel's hubris ruins a good show I wanted to support... sigh
Much ❤ and Respect to T.B. One of, if not The Greatest Heel of all time!!
The only interesting part of this was Tully's story about turning his life over to Jesus. I get the sense Tully doesn't like talking about his career.
He's afraid somebody may ask about Gino
I agree. That was the only time a semblance of the kid from Texas came out. It had a familiar rhythm to it. I also get the sense that he has to take the temperature of the crowd to get to the heat. He's a worker bee who is agreeable to take orders, but he's practical, and works best as the ring general.

Top heel in the mid 80's wish he would have been a bit more open in his answers!
...gasp & swoon
Who would win in that thumbnail. James vs. Tully.
James
Come on, Tully was more naturally arrogant than this. Yes, he was playing a character but his arrogance was a part of him
task master
...throwing salt ...is a relevant cultural action
i dont know why AEW cut hes time on screen and then let him go - especially as their own guys have as much talent as a banana skin!
everyone rattles on about FTR but without Tully they just look like a spice girls cover band looking at the past without any content
hes promo with Shawn Spears is BY FAR the best promo AEW ever had! and once again without Tully - where is he now... NO WHERE
TONY and the rest of the wrestling world in AEW need to understand that you can flip flop and fly as much as you want in the ring but without a mouth and getting the crown going your just another grain in the sand!
Jake the Snake
James quit bitching about your glasses. If you need them
Put them on.
ARE "FULL SHOOT INTERVIEWS" SUPPOSED TO BE "ROAST-ESQUE"? ...VETTING?
Terrible interview sorry James you did your best
He’s acting like he didn’t party is a joke
At least he mentioned the failed drug test, even if he didn't get into it.
Not my favorite wrestler. Arn Anderson has charisma. Tully ain’t got any. Plus the lil fella gets lost in a crowd. lol. Love your interviews.
Wrestling today sux
I love Tully.. but his dishonesty and selective memory is a let down.
He's also actively disavowing THAT guy. Right Thought, Right Action isn't an outright fib, but he's saving his confessions for a more private forum. He was great in his prime, but I wouldn't necessarily want to hang with him then.
...2 dimensional "philly shell"
...Olle ...nepotism
He paused before answering so long and frequently. I thought my phone was broken.
You could almost hear the fax machine dial tone during those pauses
Great wrestler
Worst interview
Overrated
Way too diplomatic. Half his answers were non-answers.
Don't forget, he probably sees a lot of these guys on the autograph circuit. No need to cause hard feelings over stuff that happened 40 years ago.
I agree Sean!
Or maybe he’s not a bitter old man
But he’s being honest. And has admitted his memory isn’t the greatest from years of drugs and working in the ring. Good Christian who stays to himself. If you want dirt there are a million shoot interviews online. lol
