Hannibal, question. Is it kinda locker room/backstage policy that when beef happens backstage and assault clearly happens, you guys say it's a work?? I have always wondered this, even after the stossel incident. Looks like you clearly almost stuck his arm up his own anus. I'm trying to believe your story. HTM seemed genuinely pissed and why would they say your stiff trying to get you over for WWE. Sorry asking such a damn mark question.
He got me with it too. I swear that shit was real. Both of them did Oscar-level acting there. I'm not kidding. Probably the best "worked shoot" stuff we've had in wrestling for the last 20 years.
Well done man, you got me on this and the Billy Jack interview...you're very believable when you want to be and that's what's missing in wrestling today
M B That’s how I started here too, I got a recommendation through me just searching for Billy Jack hands, then I immediately subscribed with all notifications… I also give them a like and at least a generic comment-,even just a: “ nice video bro” ! lol. But then I soon realized that this guy really is original and has lots of depth to his persona, character and videos as well. I love that he’s backing the XFL, I love him doing that Ouija board ghost hunting videos/paranormal investigating; I think most wrestling fans would be into that, but I think more than half wanting to get in on the XFL/specially if they can get some names like Tim Tebow Colin Kaepernick that one wide receiver that I was doing so many steroids he was bigger than the linebackers etc. etc. and they need to get some wrestlers in on it!! Then that sport will immediately get another 25% viewership
That's cool to see you wearing an Iron Maiden "Killers" album t-shirt there, Hannibal. One of my personal favorite old school Heavy Metal albums of all time. You got good taste there, brother. Up The Irons! \mm/Hannibal\mm/
I keep saying, kayfabe is NOT DEAD. It just needs to be updated to modern standards. Yes the old ways of kayfabe are dead. But people could still build believable works by using social media where the personas behind the characters get into twitter fights and making it look like one wrestler takes things too far to the other wrestler, being too stiff during their match, just for one example.
This is the essence of pro wrestling. When you say to yourself “holy shit this is real” even for a second or two....that’s when you’ve been entertained.
Best thing Lanny was involved with since his Memphis days in my opinion. Shows what 2 guys who are dedicated to their craft can do together. A masterpiece of a match & angle. Tremendous.
LOL! You got me Hannibal, good work man. Hats off to Lanny too some of his best work. You sir are definitely an unappreciated talent, I hope you find the success you're looking for.
You had me COMPLETELY fooled Devon...!!! I would have NEVER guessed this being a "worked shoot". I kept saying you were a piece of shit for laying your hands on a legend like this. And didn't know "code of conduct" in terms of NEVER laying your hands on someone who came before you. This was BRILLIANTLY done then for a "worked shoot". Man i wish WWE could have signed you you deserved a run with them.
Best backstage altercation in a very long time Wwe and all other wrestling organizations need to take notice ... thats how you get the crowds involved and people talking! This is how its done!! Good job HAnnibal!.....
Have to say I’m a long time Mark here You totally got me for awhile, and forget about what people say about the venue The small crowd added to the work IMO If it wasn’t for catching Lanny pinching you (and the movie Billy Madison) on the reverse angle This vid would have been a revelation Wrestling should take a note and incorporate more of stuff like this Who says Kayfabe is dead From a Long time Wrestling fans perspective We want to be worked and fooled Yeah we love the athletic part But the money is in the story and is why you care and tune in Great Job!
Best work ever! I actually thought that was a REAL fight. I'm glad you cleared the air with this. Lanny was (and hopefully still remains) a HUGE advocate for you and your career. I can't even STOMACH WWE these days. AEW's the thing for me now.
Gotta give credit where it's due, HTM sounded believable. This & the Terry Funk incident you got me. More than I can say about most works/shoots nowadays.
This was awesome!! Great story line ! 100 times better than anything on WWE for years !! Glad it was two old friends just working a hard job together 👍
Nice work with the works with lanny and billy jack bro! Brought me back to the days I watched Oklahoma wrestling when I was a kid with my great grandfather! You believed what you were watching when pork chop cash head butted someone! Keep up the great work on the Channel and peace man!
I knew it was a work but when I first watched it, I really felt the animosity and heat behind it. It was really well done which many of these type of deals fall flat and feel exposed. It felt super believable
Didn't know you liked heavy metal Hannibal, good taste :) Oh and man I was so convinced by the altercation. I actually couldn't believe it! I was scratching my head as well wondering, "of the must have patched things up cause I'm sure he's done a Lanny Poffo career shoot since"!! So that was pretty cool. Good work man.
At first I thought it was real and not a work. I felt bad for Lanny being beat up by a younger stronger guy who seemed to take advantage. It was entertaining from the standpoint that I BELIEVED it and THAT is what PRO WRESTLING use to be. Thanks for bringing back the 15 yr old in me for that, but next time please do it with a younger guy......the oldsters just not as durable anymore.
Much respect 100% for keeping it kayfabe! If only the sensitive petite "wrestlers" today would treat a work as a shoot in front of the marks, wrestling would be so much better for it. Instead of hugging each other & thanking the fans, there should be anger & violence, like a real fight!
Honestly, that backstage stuff was some of the best worked shoot footage of the last 20 years. When I first saw that, I had no doubt is was for real, so you guys pulled off a really good work there.
It's examples like this why I believe, along with Scott Hall, that the Montreal screwjob was a work. "This will look like shit, if you throw a working punch, in a dressing room full of wrestlers, you HAVE to hit me."
@The Hannibal - I would like to become your moderator. I have moderated for other TH-cam channels, I’ve been on video game killed his wife lead hundreds of people other times I was second in charge, I filed wrestling since I was four years old in 1980, my mom dated Billy Jack hands off anon, so I knew all the behind-the-scenes stuff from the get go, I followed UFC since the third one, I’ve done a little bit of training and boxing, as well as follow it somewhat, I’ve watched all the XFL games so far.

I’ve never been a wrestler boxer or mixed martial artist… But I’ve been in a ton of street fights. I don’t take things personally, I don’t get over emotional or buy into drama, I know when somebody’s trying and needs to be timed out, I know it’s Das illegal or against the rules or anything I need to notify you and recorded videos that I can email you to that wasting your time etc etc ...., So I hope this is a good resume? Thank you for your time: - Sammy Ellis. ( Necron99 ). Pronounced: Neck Ron
That was probably the best work I've ever seen. Good shit. I always believed and I've been a wrestling fan for over 37yrs. Big fan hannibal of all your work.
Very,very good Hannibal and Lanny! EXCELLENT!!!! as only Iron Sheik could say!! Brutal, Snug and Stiff!! Johnny Valentine would have loved it! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Great job, as Always, Hannibal. You always were too good for McMahon garbage. It's a shame you were around for old territory days. Hell of a worker ! Much Respect
Cool to see Hannibal pulling back the curtain a little bit and revealing some of the works. He has the balls to pull off and stay in character like this.
Original "Incident" video: th-cam.com/video/mt81m3ro3HM/w-d-xo.html
A house with an effing fire! Where's the fireman? No, where's the Mountie Jacques Rougeau?

Jesus saves!
@@jesussaves21 Well, that's very smart of him, we should all put away a little bit each month for a rainy day.
I bought this! I thought it was a shoot, great job.
It was a work.... I held a grudge against you for 7 years over that, refused to watch your channel.
..what a mark lol you got me..
Was right there with ya LMBO
Must admit it looked like a shoot to me.😳
He got me with it too. I swear that shit was real. Both of them did Oscar-level acting there. I'm not kidding. Probably the best "worked shoot" stuff we've had in wrestling for the last 20 years.
😂😂😂😂
@@dswnetwork he didnt say it made sense LOL

“IT’S STILL REAL TO ME DAMN IT!”
Haha
😂
🤣😂🤣
Dude, I wish it was still the territory days. You'd have made bank. All your stuff is crisp and real. Great wrestling and angles.
I had my suspicions at the time but man it was so entertaining. Great job to you both! R.I.P Lanny
Dude, the best work I have EVER seen, I’ve been watching pro wrestling sense 1985, great man great!
Poffo was right. You really should be in WWE. I've seen your work over the years & you are damn good.
Hannibal had so much potential during the early 2010's
That's cool to see you wearing an Iron Maiden "Killers" album t-shirt there, Hannibal. One of my personal favorite old school Heavy Metal albums of all time. You got good taste there, brother. Up The Irons! \mm/Hannibal\mm/
Shirt is badass, no doubt!
RIP. He was a classy guy.
100 people or ten, you left them amazed. That’s all that matters.
Absolutely insane how many people you fooled with the Lanny Poffo and Billy Jack Haynes worked shoots in this day and age. You are a genius brotha.
I keep saying, kayfabe is NOT DEAD. It just needs to be updated to modern standards. Yes the old ways of kayfabe are dead.

Yeah people were thinking that until they saw Poffo's phony slaps
Best thing Lanny was involved with since his Memphis days in my opinion. Shows what 2 guys who are dedicated to their craft can do together. A masterpiece of a match & angle. Tremendous.
Legitimately, thought it was a shoot. Good job.
It’s the most entertaining thing Lanny has done.
But he used to throw frisbees to the crowd.
The only thing more entertaining than that is if he fights Manny Pacquiao --- Manny vs Lanny, wonder how long Lanny would last against Manny ? 🙂🙂🙂
Sad but true.
Mike Fitch You mean his Blowjob poem about Trump didn’t get it done for ya? Lol
@@trevorhembrough1290 I mean the backstage altercation between him and Hannibal. I thought that was well done.
This is exactly what’s needed in professional wrestling right now.
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT! I MYSELF HAS BEEN SAYING THIS SINCE THE UNDERTAKER RETIRED! ITS NOT THE SAME ANYMORE 😢
Compared to the current product the WWE has been putting out, this was an awesome work 👏🏼
LOL! You got me Hannibal, good work man. Hats off to Lanny too some of his best work. You sir are definitely an unappreciated talent, I hope you find the success you're looking for.
Great video and information of how this all went down. Definitely some old school Kayfabe that had me fooled the whole time.
You had me COMPLETELY fooled Devon...!!! I would have NEVER guessed this being a "worked shoot". I kept saying you were a piece of shit for laying your hands on a legend like this. And didn't know "code of conduct" in terms of NEVER laying your hands on someone who came before you. This was BRILLIANTLY done then for a "worked shoot".

If this issue between you two was all just a “work,” than you’s fooled the F outta me
I was fooled also!
Toya Murillo: Crazy, lol. Been so long too
Me 3
We need this type of wrestling on TV in every area of the U.S. I would go back to watching wrestling if that happens.
@@mayhemmayhem3944 Don't forget the Teddy Hart one... Now that one really Good!
Best backstage altercation in a very long time
Wwe and all other wrestling organizations need to take notice ... thats how you get the crowds involved and people talking!
This is how its done!! Good job HAnnibal!.....
masterjoe3000 WWE is way too produced to look and feel real. They present more as a skit . They (WWE) have no interest in appealing to people like us.
@@LittleBigKid707b NXT is great
And all these years I thought that incident was real!! Sure fooled me.
Have to say I’m a long time Mark here
You totally got me for awhile, and forget about what people say about the venue
The small crowd added to the work IMO
If it wasn’t for catching Lanny pinching you (and the movie Billy Madison) on the reverse angle This vid would have been a revelation
Wrestling should take a note and incorporate more of stuff like this
Who says Kayfabe is dead
From a Long time Wrestling fans perspective
We want to be worked and fooled
Yeah we love the athletic part
But the money is in the story and is why you care and tune in
Great Job!
I remember seeing this years ago I thought it was legit. This is what wrestling needs a blurred line so fans will be like was that real. Good Vid Sir
I am so glad to get the story behind this. What a great work! Had me fooled all these years.
I was one of those million people who watched! Entertaining story and beyond believable from all parties involved! Good job!!!
(Slow clap) Nicely done, Kayfabe over 9000
That was great. It had me going for three years. Much respect for you both. A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Best work ever! I actually thought that was a REAL fight. I'm glad you cleared the air with this. Lanny was (and hopefully still remains) a HUGE advocate for you and your career. I can't even STOMACH WWE these days. AEW's the thing for me now.
Gotta give credit where it's due, HTM sounded believable. This & the Terry Funk incident you got me. More than I can say about most works/shoots nowadays.
This was well done. I remember when this hooked me into your channel, years ago.
This was awesome!! Great story line !
100 times better than anything on WWE for years !! Glad it was two old friends just working a hard job together 👍
Nice work with the works with lanny and billy jack bro! Brought me back to the days I watched Oklahoma wrestling when I was a kid with my great grandfather! You believed what you were watching when pork chop cash head butted someone! Keep up the great work on the Channel and peace man!
Damn, you had me completely fooled. You, Lanny and Honkey Tonk completely sold it.
I wasn't sure if it was or not. Good work on the work.
When I found out it was a work, I Screamed HE GOT ME! HHAHAHA
This was Lanny's best work, ever...
That was a work? Damn, u seriously got me. I honestly was on ur side, cuz he came in and instigated it. But I never thought it could be a work.
Youve won me over. Im sick of all 800000 podcasts out there. Ive heard all i can take. Your show is the only one im watching now on
All your confrontation videos are pure gold. Terry Funk is my favorite though.
you guys did great because I thought you guys really had heat with each other. Awesome job!!
Thanks for the upload :)
Respect Hannibal! You fooled so many, and let Lanny Poffo slap the shit out of you. Both of which are very admirable!
Oh my god. How did I miss this video.
You guys are epic.
I knew it was a work but when I first watched it, I really felt the animosity and heat behind it. It was really well done which many of these type of deals fall flat and feel exposed. It felt super believable
Definitely a badass angle. By far better than anything else out there in the industry at the time. Hannibal, I’m happy for your success buddy
Didn't know you liked heavy metal Hannibal, good taste :) Oh and man I was so convinced by the altercation. I actually couldn't believe it! I was scratching my head as well wondering, "of the must have patched things up cause I'm sure he's done a Lanny Poffo career shoot since"!! So that was pretty cool. Good work man.
Gosh- I knew it all along from the very beginning... (*not)
GREAT job! Thank u!
This is the best bit of wrestling I've seen in years. Please, keep it up!
Love your work, and I remember your time in Puerto Rico with the IWA, great to see you're still active💪
Thx for sharing Hannibal!
At first I thought it was real and not a work. I felt bad for Lanny being beat up by a younger stronger guy who seemed to take advantage.

This has to go down as one of the best works ever... Thanks for coming clean.
Much respect 100% for keeping it kayfabe! If only the sensitive petite "wrestlers" today would treat a work as a shoot in front of the marks, wrestling would be so much better for it. Instead of hugging each other & thanking the fans, there should be anger & violence, like a real fight!
Hannibal, you the man, I had no idea how close this took place to me, I live in Madawaska, Maine. Right across the st John river from edmundston, NB
OMG I totally thought that was a shoot! NICE WORK!
You guys are professionals. You did what had to be done. This comes with the territory. Keep up the great work !!!
O My Goodness. You guys are great because it really looked like a shoot to me. Well done!
That was beautiful....this and the Jerry Lawler TV incident was the best ever!! Outstanding job! Just plain badass
Awesome video brother, hello from Texas. I'm a huge fan.
Honestly, that backstage stuff was some of the best worked shoot footage of the last 20 years. When I first saw that, I had no doubt is was for real, so you guys pulled off a really good work there.

Academy award for Lanny. Truly, a " Genius"
Keep up the great work, Hannibal. I hope you can keep growing GNW and keep putting on great events.
Awesome work, dude. Fooled me at first. Was leaning towards it being a shoot.
Wish you all the best Hannibal. Great athlete and shoot interview channel.
Dude you got me. I thought this was for a shoot man. You guys are absolutely amazing.
Until right now, I thought that altercation was real. Nice job.
It was brilliant! HANNIBAL forget the haters
Lanny is a great dude. This was a great moment in GNW history! 💯 👍🏼
Best "Non" work I have ever seen .... And letting only Wayne know ahead of time was a good angle
Good work guys. Hard to do with a camera that close. 👍👍
You A-hole. Got me. This is what today’s brands needs. Nice Work!!
Hannibal plays it up well. Two different characters on & off camera. Amazing performer
Hannibal's material is better than a current WWE time slot!

I appreciate the Newfoundland t-shirt. Really added something for me. Great video.
Lannys voice and Randy’s voice are so different, Crazy
Randy exaggerated his so much that he made it his identity
Brilliant work, Hannibal & Lanny. Even I believed it. Keep up the great work, fellas.
i was totally fooled. good work!
It was awesome bro, good work.
That was probably the best work I've ever seen. Good shit. I always believed and I've been a wrestling fan for over 37yrs. Big fan hannibal of all your work.
And are still watching!!!! Loved it great job
Very,very good Hannibal and Lanny! EXCELLENT!!!! as only Iron Sheik could say!! Brutal, Snug and Stiff!! Johnny Valentine would have loved it! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Loved this! Thought it might of been a work but not totally sure at the time.
YOU REALLY MADE ME BELIEVE THE BACKSTAGE STUFF WAS REAL. VERY IMPRESSIVE!
SoAB!!!! You guys got me. Nicely done!
Great job, as Always, Hannibal. You always were too good for McMahon garbage. It's a shame you were around for old territory days. Hell of a worker ! Much Respect
Great job! That's the way to promote a back woods match. Creative idea.
Wow you guys had me, wow excellent work
Understanding of the situation of the show. It was a great believable segment.
Shit, you had me going...I thought it was real and Lanny’s ego was violated! Great job...much better than the current wwe....
I love this ! Thank you and Lanny. This entertained me no end and I truly believed it !
Cool to see Hannibal pulling back the curtain a little bit and revealing some of the works. He has the balls to pull off and stay in character like this.
Great job you guys . So believable. Rip Genius 😢
Thanks
Great work I was really mad at you great job guys
put some respeck on lanny poffo's name. that is a WWF legend.
It was so believable because Poffo looks like the dude to go up to a dude and slap him silly a few times instead of punching them in the face
