@@renafan3333I don’t think he was annoyed by it just probably wasn’t prepped for what type of interview it was and just applied his usual interview style and gave some nice anecdotes about his time
I mean steamboat probably thought it was gonna be a regular interview and they didn't bother to smarten him up so they could get the most authentic reactions lol.
Real talk, why didn't he ever tag team with William Regal so their team could be called Steamboat Willie? That would have been incredible. And why didn't Big Dick Dudley ever form a Freebird-like stable with High Energy (Owen Hart and Koko B. Ware) called Big Dick Energy?

"The Dragon" is one of the most underappreciated/overlooked wrestlers of all-time! When you consider the goat or the mount rushmore of wrestling, he's not mentioned enough, but should be.
No he isn’t. He is considered to have had the one of the best or the best program in history with Ric Flair in 1989. Pretty sure of the year. He just didn’t win a world title. I think something called racism played into that.
What a stand-up guy, 4 mins in and I'm feeling that, given the tone and energy of RJ city, Ricky is still just doing the interview the proper way. Class act all the way for sure! A true legend!
My buddy actually moved to North Carolina about ten years ago when he was around 23 and worked with Dragon's brother at a Lowes down there. One of the wildest stories I've ever heard. Love seeing Ricky back in the spotlight
His matches with Flair, Jake the Snake, The Macho Man, and Muraco, and the storylines behind them. He is one of the greatest technical wrestlers of all time....a true LEGEND 👈
Ricky is my favorite wrestler of all time. I'm glad you were able to have him on. He seemed to be a bit apprehensive at first, but got into it as the show went along. I hope you had a good time with him.
Piper got me hooked on wrestling as a kid.. but Savage.. made me a lifelong fan.. that Mania 3 Match.. even as a kid... I knew It was special.. I watched that match at least 50 times on my VHS Recorder.. Macho Man was on another level and Ricky was a perfect foil for him...
This reminds me of trying to tell your uncle jokes and he just tries to keep telling stories because he doesn’t get that you’re joking around. Love it💜
This was such a good episode!! Tony, I think RJ earned his all elite graphic by finally turning Ricky heel! Let's make this happen and maybe show the graphic at all in!!
Ox Baker was in the movie Escape From New York and I had the honor of speaking to him on the phone once. He was in character the entire time and it was scary 😅
Loved this episode! Steamboat was always a favorite. "Heel" Ricky was delightful. Of course RJ knows Zoobilee Zoo. What a reference. Also, could not help but think Steamboat VS Omega.
In an alternate timeline, the Blood Dragon manages the American Dragon and maybe the rest of the BCC. His whole schtick being that he's this really nice dude... that will inflict incredible violence and twist you into a pretzel with a smile.
Ricky Steamboat was Fantastic way way back into his pro wrestling career he has wrestled so so many wrestlers one of my favorite matches was Ricky taking on Randy Savage what a Classic and lets not forget about him wrestling against The Nature Boy which was a classic indeed
Ricky Steamboat is one of my favorite guest commentators ever, just the perfect balance of gravitas and love of the game. Love seeing him in AEW. 7:36 is the most genuine smile I've ever seen in my life.
Ricky was never a heel because he would speak with a lisp every time he got angry. Come to think of it, so did Ric Flair.....maybe Pat & Bill did miss out on something! 😳
He's definitely on the Mount Rushmore of babyface wrestlers.. like Rey Mysterio, or RVD. Pretty rare these days... hope Cody keeps it up as long as possible.
You need lozenges bc because you don’t realize you have a microphone and you don’t need to keep SHOUTING 😆 AEW can’t mix audio levels? I can’t really watch these videos for more than a minute because they hurt my ears stop shouting. AEW fix this production and on cam “ talent” problem.
I've never understood this idea that Machoman vs Steamboat was even more than Steamboats 6th best match. The wrestlemania one, wasn't even the best Machoman vs Steamboat match let alone even close to the Flair vs Steamboat matches.
Rj turned Ricky Heel.
Damn it RJ.😂
Ah this is so much better without Sonjay laughing at every single thing in the background
“Your love making skills are probably inadequate.” Ricky Steamboat 😂😂😂
Came to make this same comment, that part sent me 😂
Ah this is so much better without Sonjay laughing at every single thing in the background
Steamboat caught RJ off guard for just a slight moment.
RJ: would you like to apologize to the Briscoe family?
Steamboat: no. I’ll tell you why.
😅
9:11 I gotcha homie.

You can tell he doesn't quite get the show but The Dragon is giving some really cool answers and stories about his time in pro wrestling
I was just about to post this. Ricky clearly doesn't understand it. And then towards the end he was just annoyed by RJs shtick lol

Rickie was looking at the host like “wow what a dork”
Well he's not wrong
Faccs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That part 🫡🤦🏽♂️🤣😫🤷🏾🙌🏾👏🏾🕺🏿🤣‼️🌀……
12:49 i love how at this point he was done with the interview already lmao
Yes that's RJ City's whole schick. This is less a interview and more a skit.
"The Dragon" is one of the most underappreciated/overlooked wrestlers of all-time!

@@JohnTorres1987yeah but lately no one ever puts him on their mount rushmore
@@mikes.7654 oh. I must have forgotten that. From Ric Flair only to lose it back?
I love Ricky, he's my idol.
However, Steamboat didn't have a GOAT career like the Hogans, the Flairs, the Austins and others.

"No."
That one got me
The Dragons real name is Richard Blood. He could have been Dick Blood. 🤣🤣🤣
1:57
That's such good shit
Let’s get to that ‼️‼️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
His matches with Flair, Jake the Snake, The Macho Man, and Muraco, and the storylines behind them.
He is one of the greatest technical wrestlers of all time....a true LEGEND 👈
Cant forget Ravishing Rick Rude
Marks today would have called him boring like they do Cody
16:12 “I’m the dragon …. In I’m dragon your Azz”-The Dragon 🐉 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
RJ hitting us with the Zoobilee Zoo reference! I feel seen!
I know, right? I haven't heard anyone reference that old show maybe ever.
There was such a long pause after asking him about the American Dragon I almost thought Ricky was going to pull a fast one and mention Jake Long.
Pound for pound one of the all time greats no question
Ricky "The Legend" Steamboat!
Riccy Steamboat Is a AllTime (BabyFace) ….. RJ trying his best to turn him Heel just didn’t work this was still Comedy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ricky reading the promos was gold.
People forget that Ricky's wife nearly made him turn heel by proxy because she was so unpopular 😅
"hey, what are you, buddy? A piece of shit or something?" is an all-timer line
Really loved this interview, feel like Ricky had so many nuggets of wisdom that he didn’t expand on! Slow down RJ!!
It smelt like a barn 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Ricky Steamboat a constant class act with RJ
Steamboat looks like he's gonna kill RJ by the end of this 😂
We need to create parallel universe travel to see a heel Ricky Blood
Ricky is my favorite wrestler of all time. I'm glad you were able to have him on. He seemed to be a bit apprehensive at first, but got into it as the show went along. I hope you had a good time with him.
Ricky Steamboat once carried a broom to a four star match in an armory in Decatur, GA. Somehow RJ proved to be a more difficult opponent.
Loved Ricky as a kid, one of my favs. Love listening to his stories. Thanks RJ for bringing him on!
Back in 1985, when WWF started to air in Oregon, Ricky Steamboat was the very first wrestler that I saw. He has always been my favorite wrestler.
1:55 in probably good that’s avoided “Dicc Blood” easy shot in people don’t need to take it - RJ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏽♂️🤷🏾😫😫😫😫

Once again RJ produces magic. These are still the best thing AEW produce weekly.
Steamboat X Randy Savage WM 3 one the greatest matches of All time Also Steamboat x Ricc Flair ….. Truth in the Details 🫡🙌🏾👏🏾🔥👍🏾💪🏿🫶🏾🌀💙💯
This reminds me of trying to tell your uncle jokes and he just tries to keep telling stories because he doesn’t get that you’re joking around. Love it💜
It's impossible to not like that man.
This was such a good episode!! Tony, I think RJ earned his all elite graphic by finally turning Ricky heel! Let's make this happen and maybe show the graphic at all in!!
😂 I am sure that half of those villain insults kicked in his head at some point, but I just love how steamboat just rolls with it.
Heel Steamboat, I need more!
RICKY IS THE ORIGINAL CODY RHODES!!!!
"If I've wrestled you more than 5 times, I'm using your shit."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dragon still looks young for his age! It's like his late 90s version with grey hair. And for some reason he sounds like his old rival Ric Flair.
It's not necessary to lie, but I'm glad it looks good
Ox Baker these wrestling names. 😂
Ox Baker was in the movie Escape From New York and I had the honor of speaking to him on the phone once. He was in character the entire time and it was scary 😅
I don't think Ricky understands RJs type of humor
probably treated it like a real interview because at this point doesnt get as much back then lol
I’m just here For RJ City ‼️‼️….Thats what I care about 👏🏾👏🏾🔥🙌🏾🫶🏾👍🏾🌀🫡
Ricky feels like he should be sipping a glass of ice tea as he leans his head back and reminisces about his career lol
Heel Steamboat would've been amazing. DAMN YOU, PAT PATTERSON! 😂

Ricky Steamboat is one of the GOATs.
RJ is also one of the GOATs and a future HOFer.
Love that Steamboat actually got real answers across amidst RJ’s schtick. RJ is great in these, but when the guest has something to say, let him do it
RJ got Ricky Steamboat to turn heel and I’m all for it!
This has been added to the greatest moments in wrestling. Ricky, thank you so much for taking the time to do this. RJ, a pleasure as always ❤
Man Ricky is such a likeable dude. It was fun seeing him give pretty legit answers to everything.
Unlikeliest interview ever lol
Holy hell, someone else remembers Zoobilee Zoo
Steamboat is awesome and such a true professional.
I've said repeatedly that RJ is in the top 3 of interviewers that I've had the pleasure of listening to and this cements it. Really great episode.
he is terrible
Can’t believe he brought up Dick Blood to Steamboat. What a legend lmao
All throughout Ricky steamboat wrestling career he was never a bad guy (heel)💯
One of the best wrestlers ever in my opinion
Does the dragon speak fluent Japanese, he would been Kaientai manager to Funaki and Taka Michinoku in the Attitude era as heel.
I love when RJ has the legends on! I still feel like we got cheated out of seeing a Sting episode.
I would have liked to see Steamboat as a heel. You should had him do a Rick Rude type pre match promo.
Ricky Steamboat turned heel, my Sunday is already complete 😅
Another endearing attempt to mix oil and water
This episode was wonderful! RJ does amazing work. Hey EW is my favourite part of AEW.
Omg, he's a sweetheart.
The craziest part to me isn't just that his name is Dick Blood, but he had a son, named him Dick Blood Jr. and nobody batted an eye.
10:15 (Steamboat)-remember Brisco doing that arm drag “in you said Stolen” ‼️‼️- RJ is Hilarious 🤣 🤣🤣🙌🏾🫶🏾
He never been a heel
one of the Greatest Babyfaces in Wrestling History
Ricky was never a heel because he would speak with a lisp every time he got angry. Come to think of it, so did Ric Flair.....maybe Pat & Bill did miss out on something! 😳
"Look at what you missed out on Pat Patterson.... No Diddy"
This episode was amazing 🤣🤣
When he was reading quotes, I thought one was going to be "Let me tell you Brother"
I would have tuned in to watch “Dick Blood” wrestle.
One of the best episodes!! Ricky is such a great story teller
He's definitely on the Mount Rushmore of babyface wrestlers.. like Rey Mysterio, or RVD. Pretty rare these days... hope Cody keeps it up as long as possible.
Richard 'Dragon' Blood is the legend
Nice shoutout to ULTIMO! Taken aback a lil by Steamboats comments! Ultimo Dragon(Asai)is easily Top-5(Cruiserweights of all-time)!
7:10 I never thought about it, but this was the ‘Zoo and Barnyard Animal Era’ 🤣🤣
I was thinking about Matilda, the British Bulldog.
I hope RJ City will interview Zack Sabre Jr next especially after his winning
God I love Ricky. He's a national treasure. Well done, RJ City! xo
Someone tell RJ that Steamboat Willie was the name of the boat and Mickey has always been the mouse's name, it's important to know these things.
Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat is a legend in the world of pro-wrestling I love him and this interview was very nice I liked it a lot 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️🐉🐉🐉
Ricky Steamboat is a treasure…not sure what that makes RJ then. What a wholesome episode tho.
That last one about Dick Blood and Bloody Dick made me spit out my Dr. Pepper Zero....brother..... 😂😂😂😂😂😂

next , guest star is Hologram , please .
Ricky Steamboat vs Ric Flair
Ricky Steamboat vs Rick Rude
Ricky Steamboat vs Randy Savage
Funny hey ew episode with rj special guest retired wrestling legend Ricky the steamboat Dragon it was a funny episode 😂😅😊
They misspelt 'Hawaiian' in the description; I'm sure Ricky could've at least *spelt* it...
I've never understood this idea that Machoman vs Steamboat was even more than Steamboats 6th best match. The wrestlemania one, wasn't even the best Machoman vs Steamboat match let alone even close to the Flair vs Steamboat matches.
Ricky Steamboat is a living legend. I’m glad I was a die hard fan of wrestling when he was active competitor. He made it look so effortless.
This is a bad wish version of Piper's Pit. He's on par with Reo Rogers of the 90s. Flush him!
