This is I NEVER QUIT the Magnum TA Story. - บันเทิง
It broke my heart 💔 he had so much potential. He would've ruled the game
Every time I hear Terry talk about it, I relive it. It was the biggest tragedy in wrestling history along with David Von Erich. My heart bleeds when I see this because I know what could have been. We all know. It changed Terry's life forever. I remember when he walked out at the main event at Crockett Cup in 1987, and hugged Dusty and Nikita, it was the first time he had been seen since the accident.
You will always be my friend, my favorite wrestler of all time. Im so grateful to have the memories of the man u was n the remarkable man you still are. You will never be forgotten !!! SweetThang
Magnum TA was a vicious baby face. He was all business. A guy you didn't want to mess with. He had all the tools to become NWA World Heavyweight Champion. Along with his hard work and dedication, I'll give Dusty Rhodes a lot of credit for taking Magnum under his wing and giving him the push he needed to become a Superstar. I'll give Tully Blanchard a lot of credit because the feud he and Magnum had from June 85' until December 85' over the NWA US Heavyweight Championship was the BEST of the year! It was personal, it was vicious, it was bloody, and it was filled with drama. Their "I Quit" match in a steel cage at Starrcade 85' made Magnum TA a household name and people are still taking about it to this very day.
Wish Magnum all the Best!
I remember. Shocked the world. We tried to keep up with how you were doing. We didn't have internet but, everyone was talking about you. It's so good to see you doing this video. Gotta say, You never quit. ✌ Mike Pardue
It was a terrible day in wrestling history. I remember it like it were yesterday.
it's one of those sad not meant to be stories!
philaman1972 I'm with on that same here I remember this well, magnum was hot I mean you could have put a unlit wooden match on him and it would have lit without striking it that's how hot he was during his career!
I can still hear David Crockett yelling out BELLY TO BELLY!!!
I was in my senior year and high school and one of my friends told me that Magnum TA had a bad auto accident and I was so sorry and worried about him.
I was glad he survived the accident but at the same time I was sorry that his career had ended because of that accident.
The greatest what ifs in wrestling. Stay strong Magnum TA
i cried hard watchin this
that sucked
magnum ur one tough cat
god bless u an all u did
Can u imagine the matches that could have been made between magnum and flair for the title !! And having magnum winning it in a steel cage dam!! Would have been huge!! One of those each guy trade the title back and fourth then having magnum win it and holding it for a bit !! Ur a great one magnum stay strong my man!!
On the anniversary of the accident that changed his life, forever. Wow!
This is one of the guys I grew up watching and admiring when wrestling was wrestling.
Maggy Mae, love you brother
Magnum and the rest of you guys got me hooked on wrestling. I couldnt believe it when i heard of the accident. 1t was hard to take, but I never forgot you. Good to see you doing well. You can't keep a good man down.
Terry Allen ( MagnumTA)is from my home area and we’re the same age so I always routed for him. Even talked to his Mom about the wrestling business so I was truly devastated at the news of his accident
You was great in wrestling Magnum TA !
I am a big fan of Magnum TA there was not too many people if anybody that could ever beat Magnum TA he was a great technical wrestler and in my opinion and that era was the best. If he didn't get in that accident he might even still be doing guest appearances in the WWE today which I would have liked to see. That match for the title between Nikita koloff and Magnum TA was probably one of the best matches I've ever seen. Magnum TA is wrestling.... God bless you Magnum TA
Potential hall of fame career shortened by that tragic accident. But still considered a legend that’s how good he was.
I think he's still deserving of a hall of fame induction, by far.
Jonathan Turbide absolutely he’s deserving of it.
Knowing I was part of this history with Terry are memories we will never forget I was 18 doing a report in the Charlotte Observer yet I was in shock and praying for Terry that he over comes I was not the star Terry was and to be apart of this history and the life of Terry it has been an amazing blessing I live those memories and love Terry and Courtney and their beautiful family...Terry continue to live the dream as Dusty would want you to...Toni Nicholson ( Charlotte Observer Oct 14, 1986
Powerful. Him driving once again where he had his accident...wow. 👍
Magnum TA is inspirational!
Magnum an dusty where my favorite wrestlers as a kid ,, belly the suplex
Sad story
God bless magnum T.A
I remember back in thanksgiving day, 1987 at the uic in south side Chicago for starcade 87 chi town heat. we had rock n roll express vs midnight express in a scaffold match. road warriors vs Anderson and Blanchard for the NWA tag team titles, Dusty Rhodes vs Lex Luger for the U.S. title in a steel cage and Ric Flair vs Ronnie Garvin for the world title in a cage match. that card was excellent but what you didn't see, was better. it was before the cameras came on. Magnum TA walking to the broadcast table and I don't think there was a dry eye on that place when we saw Magnum.
Amazing story, thanks for sharing!
I was there that night too. Me and friends saw Magnum and we yelled and screamed his name. He got a standing ovation from everyone. God bless you Magnum.
The uic pavilion I only saw the shows on tv but even at that I could tell there was a real fire for the NWA there
Randy Johnson
Saw MANY a house show there as well as Starrcade 87. Chicago had always been an AWA town but when it started to wane, we gravitated to the NWA.
Those house shows at the Pavilion were so much fun and the crowd was on fire every time!
Magnum TA I feel very deeply upset what happened to you I always thought wrestlers were invincible broken Bruiser Brody and Robin wrestlers died the number to go to the car at Magnum I learnt that you get from Huntington School but you were beatable in some small way but I promise you Magnum TA it gets better Magnum TA I've been doing the d pregnancy like I was saying your accident was caused by an accident a tragic accident with an accident but it's very hard to look at the disparity I know that text my name is Robert Franklin Hulsey I was born on August 12th 1993 I've been living with several palsy for 26 years something and then on retardation in trouble little bit of mild autism alcohol Down Syndrome baby but I do not with that keep me down I don't let that the finding I can ta and you should not let that Define you you are Magnum TA former NWA United States Champion current NWA Hall of Famer bring them to you you belong in the WWE some of you I beg of you please Magnum please go to WWE in show the world monkey Roo my hero Magnum TA use because I don't see you is someone with a disability I don't see you as a mere man Magnum TA I look at you as a Greek building God so thank you Magnum TA and I hope to see you in the WWE Hall of Fame
Every time I think about Magnum TA, I think of that headline for, I think, Inside Wrestling. Nikita Kolloff “I cry for Magnum TA.” I can even hear that in Nikita’s voice.
Word frist wresting Mangaizne I bought it was wrestler 87!!
First off - God bless you Magnum !!! - May God protect and bless you and yours always throughout eternity ! ! ! - And second ... You can tell a lot about a person by the timepiece they wear - Magnum is wearing a Rolex 18 karat yellow gold Presidential which tells me several things - A few are he has class - Style and he is in a Financial position that provides him the luxury of owning and wearing a high quality fine Swiss timepiece - The band is tight and looks to be in excellent condition. Without knowing any specific details about his financial situation I will boldly proclaim that he has done very well financially after he left wrestling and I am positive he did superbly financially during his years in wrestling. I respect you Sir and I tip my hat to you !!
6 days before my 16th birthday I remember reading about it in the USA Today in our schools library sent chill my spine then I started cry by tile I got from school ate dinner went my room then emotions came out. I always what could been if they were going to put the title on Magnum or would been a bigger star in rival WWF we will never know. He had everything to draw fans put butts in the seats too
I saw the show of NWA World Wide Wrestling where David Crockett reported the accident and then I saw the show of NWA Pro Wrestling where Bob Caudle reported the same thing. The Thing is I Never saw those episode at that time of 1986, Where I lived at The NWA Shows were mysteriously cut off on channel U-68. and the channel became the home shopping network. But I read about it in inside wrestling talking about the accident and then I seen the car and was like Damn I hope he is alive. But IMO Magnum should have reclaimed the U.S. title and would have become NWA World Champion.
Christopher Boyd I did see the broadcast announcement
And it was a damn shame the Magnum TA had to be in that accident. In my opinion it would have been one of the all-time greats.
Yes he would have.
Probably would have held the World Title at least twice or three times.
A lot of the guys that Magnum worked with were highly distraught about what happened. Magnum nearly died from his injuries. Sadly, the show had to go on without Magnum T.A. I like that Magnum is part of the Cauliflower Alley Club. He gets a lot of emotional support from the guys he worked with at those events.
Kerry Von Erich had an accident that changed his career also
He was a great wrestler
Can't wait to see the whole thing.
What if Magnum hadn't had the accident and David Von Erich hadn't have died? How would wrestling look today? I really believe it would look totally different.
Blake Martin TA would’ve been a Hall of Famer and NWA World Heavyweight Champion. He was being set up for at least one title run between him and Flair
Blake Martin I disagree, them being champions wouldn't have stopped the rise of the WWF or stopped promoters like Crockett to make incredibly stupid business decisions. With cable tv being involved in wrestling (WWF signing with NBC) and promoters like Vince/Watts/Crocketts wanting to be worldwide instead of staying in their own backyard, the territories era would have come to an end no matter who was given the NWA title.
I agree 100%
@@jonathanturbide2232 Do you support WWE. I fucking dont.
@@Saber808 I really love WWF but also love the NWA and AWA too, every promotion has its share of good and bad moments. I'm just stating facts my friend, that ultimately the Crocketts made a series of awful business decisions (buying dead territories, buying a jet, underpaying their top guys like Arn and Tully) that killed their momentum and their promotion. Vince mostly took advantage of the mistakes made by other promoters, it's a fact no one can dispute. Giving the belt to Magnum wouldn't have prevented the two Crocketts to self-destruct due to their inability to run their finances. If Flair couldn't do it, no one could.
I still say he would've been a World's Champion, had that accident never happened.
I saw his car at S & R wrecker service. Don’t know how he survived.
Wish I could see this
Obviously, advancing old age worsen poor Magnum TA's car accident injuries. :(
The guy who was gonna beat flair and take the torch
The music is fitting but lower the volume and or raise the voice.
I was in jail when that happened.😥
Such a shame, the crowd loved him.
what could have been,
He. Was one of the most popular wrestlers there was then we don’t know what tomorrow will bring only God does the preacher says if trouble not at your house it’s coming
Magnum wrestled back when there were regions. Vinny Mac didn't take over everything yet. Had he continued, Magnum TA would have ended up in the WWF/WWE and had a program with Hogan, the Ultimate Warrior and the Macho Man. He would have been a multiple World champion and gone down in history as one of the greatest.
When Magnum had his tragic accident in late 86, the WWF was already dominating the business and was getting bigger and more popular every month (and building towards Wrestlemania 3, the biggest event ever in America). WWF was on NBC, was going worldwide, was earning millions every month, and was signing everyone they wanted. As terrific and gifted as Magnum was, he wasn't enough to stop the WWF's growth and incredible amount of momentum.
@@jonathanturbide2232Magnum was a man to build the company around. If Crockett had any business savvy, financial smarts, and a marketing machine in 86', they could have competed with Vince and stayed in business. JCP had the roster to compete. Magnum, Flair, Dusty, Tully, Arn, Ole, JJ Dillon, Baby Doll, the Road Warriors with precious Paul, the Midnight Express with Jim Cornette and Big Bubba, the Rock n' Roll Express, and the Russians were all on top. I'll take those top 20 talents and put them up against the WWF's top 20. They also had guys like Ron Garvin, Barry Windham, Manny Fernandez, Terry Taylor, Buddy Landell, Black Bart, Ron Bass, Jimmy Valient, the Barbarian, Warlord, Paul Jones, and others.
1986 was JCP's best year until the tragic accident happened with Magnum, then everything started to fall apart for the promotion from there with all the stuff you mentioned. The only thing JCP had that was better than the WWF at the time was the actual wrestling.
Inmange Magnum in NWA in late 80s and early 90s. Crockett still be around.
So you seriously think that giving the belt to Magnum would have prevented the two Crocketts to make all the stupid financial decisions that ultimately killed their promotion? As great and cool as Magnum was, no one could have saved Crockett Promotions from bankruptcy. If Flair couldn't stop it, no one could.
Kind of right , but in 87 afther Dusty had his feud done with Flair. Magnum would been better challenger than Ronnie Gravin. Then he could had rivalry with Sting and Luger which made the territory hot going into the 90s.
I remember when he body slammed Abdullah the Butcher I was like DAMN!!!!
Jesus christ man smh he was rising in his time!
I'm still trying to find this film streaming somewhere so I can watch it. does anybody have information where the film is available for streaming? thanks in advance.
Are you saying it's not at the Highspots website ?
@@StarCityAudits it actually is so thanks for pointing that out. am surprised the movie is not streaming anywhere else. oh well.
