James, Thank you for doing these interviews! I’m amazed at the class and work ethic some of these legends like Muraco, Masked Superstar, Bill Eadie, Valentine, Windham, Blanchard, Sullivan, Ricky Morton, Rich, Dutch Mantell. These guys were tremendous in the 1970s & 1980s and will NEVER be replaced. Today’s fans and wrestlers owe them at deep debt of gratitude and respect. Simply tremendous!
Loved watching Tully Blanchard growing up in the 80s. I'm sure the guy is an encyclopedia of wrestling knowledge and wrestling experiences but he definitely holds back in these shoot interviews. You can see him thinking about the question and how to give the question a very softball answer I'm sure off camera he would have a ton of interesting things to say. Love the guy as a wrestler but not as a shoot interview
…other than his daily intake of cocaine, I think he took 12 too many chair shots to the cranium! Seems to be in early stages of dementia. He’s a Christian who does not want to name names.
I really enjoyed hearing the Tully Blanchard and couldn’t have more respect for him. He was truly an old school bad ass and took the profession very seriously. I greatly admire his professionalism and no-nonsense attitude.
It definitely was...and this has been one of the better Tully interviews I have seen. I'm still not sure if it is that he simply doesn't want to be there/doesn't like doing interviews..or if he is just has a bland personality. I can't remember who it was..I want to say Miss Hyatt...but I'm not sure...she said that Tully was a perfect heel for tv wrestling because he just had to be himself. Hehe
Tully has been one of my favorites for a long time, but getting him to say anything in an interview is like squeezing blood from a rock. Incredibly guarded and not one for conversation.
As a product of the Texas territory, son of a promoter, spent plenty of time around Ric Flair and Gino Hernandez among others Tully saw a lot more than he's sharing
Its important to remember that Tully was never well liked back in the day. He was always spoken of as a cocky asshole who acted like he was better than everyone. Which is great when youre a heel wrestler..maybe not so great when youre a human being surrounded by your peers. Supposedly went twenty years without speaking to Arn even, and that guy was his closest partner. I love Tully's work in the ring, but I doubt he had alot of friends on the business.
Good talk. Funny that Tully, a guy known for getting heat with fans and some of the boys, sounds like a guy who tried to mind his own business and stay out of the foolishness backstage.
I think a lot of people forget wrestling was there job.its just a day at work and then theres the next day and it just blends together.ask me about a specific day or person at work 30 years ago and i might remember it and might not.james did very good at carrying this interview.i don't tully is an a hole or disinterested its just his personality.
Please dont have tully back. Easily the,worst guest i can remember on your show. He gave you only about 5 minutes worth of answers in your whole full interview. If you/we didnt know it, you would yhink tully was a jobber with his lack of exponding on questions. Tully, we all know its a show dude, this aint '83, you can answer questions....

True facts! But, I couldn't stand dutch mantell, and still can't! Marking out here! 🤪👍

Tully: I didn't see anything. I didn't do anything. I remember nothing. XD

like sergeant schultz!

Its funny you can tell he doesn't want to bad mouth anyone... Which is why he answered with a bunch of "I don't know/not sure"😂😂
This was painful to watch

Great work love the channel 👍 keep the history alive
It makes me a little sad about how Tully and Arn were treated at the end of their active careers.
JC must have had Tully at gun point in the hotel room.

Probably why he's a thriver/survivor...( big mouths get into trouble easier )
@@MonstroLabcontroversy creates cash, brother
@@BigBadJerryRogers if the controversy is a work then yes it creates cash, but if its a shoot you might make $ but you also burn bridges.
Masterclass of not saying nothing
That was like pulling teeth!

Can you please turn up the volume? I have my tablet on max volume, and can barely hear... I'm old and deaf!
Tully seems like the kind of guy that isn't worried about what others were doing. Just keeping a low profile. Thats how I'd have done it.

@DecemberGuy77 10 years. They went 10 years without speaking to each other. When Herd screwed Arn over on his contract, Arn blamed Tully.
Tully didn't know for 85% of the vid 😂😂 keeping it kayfabe
Alot of these old wrestlers favorite words are ya know?? Ya know?? Tully's is and ughhh.. and uhhh 😼😹🤣🤣
Nice to hear him mention von Raschke.
The claw!
@@kennethanway7979 Dat is all da people need to know!
Das ist richtig
This was the most words I've heard to say nothing than I've ever seen. My ex wife doesn't hold a candle to friggin Tully
Yeah I think it was Warlord who said Volkoff would reek of onions too

Tully is by far the most underrated wrestler/ heel in my humble opinion. I absolutely hated him.
No school like old school.
Boy theres a line for a part 2
Tully really didn't have to many answers....he wanted to protect the names of wrestlers I guess
He's lucky he ever made it as a pro-wrestler.
Idk how much you paid for this interview but you got overcharged
Ask them who's the slippery one to work with. Somebody you can't trust.
This is the worst shoot interview ever. If James is paying this guy I would want my money back.
Talk about "vague" tully a terrible interviewee
Politically correct for sure ! He was much better when he was interviewed with Baby Doll.
This guy cannot remember what he ate for breakfast.He maybe answered 2 Questions hell he was worst than Melina
Tully is too diplomatic and doesn't want to say anything "bad" about anyone. I loved him as a heel, but as an interview, not so much.
Brad Armstrong and Tim Horner were enhancement guys? Geezus Tully …. These answers (or non answers) were awful!
I am disappointed he was so guarded in all his answers, not a fun shoot interview. Id much rather hear from a Ken Patera with no filter.
Tully should try his hand at politics,Lots of talking and nothing said.
I wish him and arns. Run. As the 🧠 brain busters. In wwe would have lasted longer. Under the management of bobby 👋
Don't interview Tully again. He's completely boring.
Tully doesn’t seem to remember
very much. It is embarrassing. Love the guy but too many shots to the head.
Hmmm… He’s trying to be too politically correct and I can tell that he doesn’t want to answer some of the questions… 🤷🏽♂️
He doesn't know anything..wtf
This jobber didn’t answer anything.
