This is from Title Match Network's exclusive new series with the legendary Greg Valentine.
Hammer discusses the legendary Rick Rude, years before he made his debut as "Ravishing" in WWF. Back in the Mid-Atlantic, Valentine wrestled a young Rude (then Rick Rood) and accidentally ruptured his nut during a match.
Evidently, Greg reveals that the same thing happened in a match with him and Owen Hart. Except this time, Owen actually lost his nut as a result. Listen to how Stu Hart told the story when he saw Valentine years later.
Greg jokes that his nickname should have been "The Nut Buster" instead of the Hammer.

No
Not like Honky
The best wrestler to interview, not full of hate and tried to get along with everybody.
i think leaping lanny poffo is better...better story teller
I agree 100%. He seems like the only wrestler without an axe to grind!
And I've never heard anyone say a bad word about Greg
Might be right.
This is spot on ! This series of Valentine shoots has made me gain so much respect for the Hammer.
Greg is such a humble guy. There's nothing phony about him. He's just a good all around guy.
I agree
Must be a friend of yours. Only a few min video
Class Act. The guy has Class.
Really good guy in person. He worked once in my dad's indie promotion. Him, Harley race, road warriors, allot of different legends.
@@lancevangen6485 Thank you lol. I always say you never know someone truly until you live with them. I remember everyone used to love my dad but at home he was terrible
“I ruptured his left nut.”
Just when you think these Hammer interviews can’t get any better! 😂
Greg’s a real ball buster
Lol...just breaking balls
Literally!
They don’t call him the hammer for nothing
@@Redhood813 lol. That was great.
@@terrencedeagle4429 rt!
Greg Valentine is the best interview he's believable doesn't scream and holler he just makes his point
These interviews with Greg Valentine, have been the best. Well done. Greg is a really cool guy
Love hearing these stories. Seems a true gentleman. No bitching about others.
No bitching 😁 Cause he made money. No jealousy. And he was a great worker and beat the hell outta everyone. Busted their balls.
He never bitches or rags on anyone - a proper decent bloke. Bet he's someone no one really has a bad word to say about?
Lol, he wouldn't even put over Sting.
Humility is the best legacy to have
Ur right. Real gentleman; he just destroys your testicles. Tough business
I've seen several interviews with the Hammer. Respectable of the business. Humble. Grateful. One tough man.
greg seems like a real good , genuine dude .
He didn’t go down deep enough on his left nut
Real remorse from Greg. You can feel his pain for what he did
Please, pretty please, pass along my gratitude to Greg for sharing these precious memories. He was a huge part of the painfully short time I had with my cherished father. Greg, you truly touch my heart with your humility and kindness you have for everyone. You are the cool guy who is chill with everyone. Bucket list, to shake your hand one day.
I met him at a signing in florida...hes a big dude....lol.
Had a short time with my Dad too, still miss him 😪
Now we know why the Atomic Drop was so effective on Rick Rude
He sold that like a champ! The best!
He gave Rick a rude awakening
Underrated comment.
@@Godzilla1982 ty, tyvm
@@golfmanmatt Rick really did sell nut busters good, his entire career....now, we know why.
Gregg the nut buster would have been hilarious. Great guy and I love listening to his interviews
The more I hear The Hammer's shoots, the more time I have for him. Great storyteller, never unloads on others. Seems to be fair-minded and unbitter towards all those he's worked with even if they've been not so great to him. Great life philosophy - do your best, have fun, be kind, don't take shit but don't shit on others. The Hammer is a gentleman.
Greg's dad was a famous wrestler in the 50's & 60's and Greg in the 70's & 80's. Greg post career interviews show what a good fella he is and I've never heard other wrestlers say anything bad about him.
I am really enjoying this series with Greg. He's so gracious. I hope he's reading these comments because he's very much loved.
As a kid I always turn my nose up to the hammer But now with TH-cam hearing him tell stories as a regular guy , I really really like this dude
When I started watching wrestling Greg was in rhythm and blues, seemed to be the boring guy of the two, but through TH-cam I have seen his career, what a great wrestler, working with the greatest and made a great legacy, respect for the hammer
how many of these guys have passed away and yet we still have the hammer! Get as much interviews as possible from him. Its gold!
His hair is still fabulous. WOW!😯
Back then we had three channels of quality tv shows.
Now we have 300 channels of crap
The Hammer still looks the same after all these years wow. I grew up watching these guys in the 80's and 90's. I was born in 79. Thanks for those great years.
I got to hang out with him for a week this year. He genuinely loves to tell these stories and doesn't talk badly about anyone.
Rick rude was one of the best wrestlers he had such a great mind for the business and he was one of the toughest guys ever in and out of the ring
A legit bad ass out of the ring. The man could fight.
@@WAM4EVER yes he could one tough SOB
Must have been something in the water in that area of Minnesota. Rude, the Road Warriors, Scott Norton all coming from the same area & NONE of them you would want to make angry.
@@gillies9 that's for dammed sure
@THE RENAGADE yes I've heard the stories my fave was the arm wrestling in a bar with cops rude beat the cop and Mr perfect kept the $$$ classic Kurt I miss them both
Who knew "The Hammer" was really "The Nutcracker."
Madusa?
Listening to Greg is fantastic. To hear the stories from a time that will never be repeated is priceless.
Humble, knowledge guy,who is not bitter like so many,really a pleasure to listen to
I grew up watching his dad Johnny Valentine but now I love these interviews with Greg. I just can't get enough of them
I met Greg Valentine at a County Fair in Naples Florida years ago, he was a pretty cool guy.
I have a great deal of respect for these pro wrestlers. I cannot imagine the pain they deal with after years of performing.
My parents owned a motel in San Bernadino, CA and the night manager was a jobber from back in the day. Every summer I used to work at the motel I enjoyed the stories he would tell me like these shoot interviews. He said the nicest guy in all of wrestling was Greg Valentine. After all these years seeing these interviews I truly believe Greg Valentine was one of the best people in wrestling behind the scenes
His Stu Hart impression was hilarious!!!
Nut buster! 😂😂😂😂 I can't lol
These Greg Valentine interviews should be playing on a loop on TVs at every U.S. airport.
Greg 'The Ball Buster' Valentine with his devastating finisher "The Nut Cracker'.
How about The Bionic Goose?😉🤫👈👉🏾🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I met The Hammer once in Oliver BC when he was working with ECCW. What a sweetheart of a guy. And, one of my all time favorites
What a solid, good guy. Still has his reputation and integrity. Love the nostalgia lately going back to when I was little and thought I had it rough. Wow I'd give fourty years of my life to go back and re-live all the good days.
His story telling and recounts are deep, knowledgeable and fair. I think it's probably the best insight as to the characters and inner workings of the wrestling industry. Some amazing stuff here.
Greg Valentine out there in Vegas, breaking hearts and crushing nuts.
The Owen Hart spot that Valentine is talking about took place at the 88 Survivor Series. Bret Hart also talked about it in his book. You can see Owen is in quite a bit of pain when it happened lol
thanks for the memories hammer , your reign at 'hands down' wrestling's finest years , [ my opinion ] was the best years
God, give me the strength to make it through this interview! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Greg Valentine has the biggest heart ! Legend !
Greg is the classiest man to ever step into the ring.
These interviews with Mr.Valentine has been a highlight of you tube for me. I used to root for him and ric flair in the 70s when they had the nwa tag team belts.
Memories!!
Always liked "the hammer" good guy/bad guy, he was a pleasure to watch!!
I grew up in the Tampa Bay area of Florida which also happens to be the the true home of many wrestlers I've been fortunate enough to cross paths in public with a few of the well-known wrestlers most of them are kind and polite to their fans but when I ran across Greg The Hammer Valentine shopping one day I walked up putting my hand out for a handshake and said I don't want to make a scene and have a bunch of people come here but I want to thank you for many years of enjoyment watching you do what you do the man look me straight in the eye and said thank you that's one of the nicest compliments I've ever heard such a polite kind-hearted gentleman he proved to me that day just chatting for a couple of moments of his true persona once again the hammer Valentine I will always wish you the best in your endeavors and thank you for all the entertainment for so many years and also most importantly how kind thoughtful and gracefulness when we had a few moments to just talk once again thank you sir
What a great interview!!! Encore!!! Encore!!! 🎉
Lol Greg “ The Nut Cracker “ Valentine
😂🤣
Just kidding legend! ❤️🙏🏽
Valentine seems like a sincere, good dude.
I got to work with Greg once years ago in the independents. He really is just as chill as he appears in these interviews. I do have to say I’m glad I’m hearing about the nut buster now and not before I worked with him.
Always a good interview Hammer 🔨.
You can see and hear his emotion of sadness that those 2 are gone. :(
I love listening to this guy. He’s super chill
Greg and his Father Johnny Valentine are legends
Greg "the nutcracker " valentine
Good ole Greg "The Hammer" Valentine! Used to love watching him wrestle on Saturday mornings as a kid! Nobody could fall on their face quite like he did. \m/
Greg Valentine was a Wrestlers wrestler , Master of the Art, Inherited from his Father/Trainer and The Hart's, I Could Understand Why Greg Valentine Had Problems with Otherb Wrestlers because Many of them Are Transplants from other Sports like Football, Bodybuilding, Bouncers , Singers/ musician like Hogan
Great interviews!!!
I saw Hammer at a Tampa Bay Rays game back in 2008. He was literally 2 rows in front of me, and I’ll always regret not asking him to take a picture with me. I just didn’t want to bother him, but he seems like he would’ve been cool with it.
Maybe someday we’ll meet again
Freaking hilarious this guy, Greg should do stand-up🤣😂😅
Greg "the hammer" Valentine - " busting balls and winning brawls"
I love these with Greg Valentine and Ken Patera's interviews. There so great I would never have guessed either because they were both heals. I hope you will interview Ken Patera next again.
Don’t need Sabu
Can we just vote Rude had the greatest mustache is history and Magnum PI couldn’t touch Rick’s stash on his best day
True story - Niagara Falls Arena 1987 - Greg and Brutus are in the tunnel waiting to come out. I made a sign of them both and asked Brutus to sign it. He said no! Greg grabbed it and signed it for me. I ripped off the part w Brutus right in front of him. Class act Greg is. Always liked the heels after that!
Rude had the best abs of all time...others were bigger like ultimate warrior but rude had the best abs...he was ripped!!
You're 100% right
Other guys were bulkier muscle wise but Rude had a one of a kind classic cut physique
You'll never his look with anyone else
2:16 " I guess i was the " Nut Buster" 😂😂😂
I love these old school stories
@3:42 he learned how to fall backwards. He also had the best fall forward better than anyone
What a sweet, tender hearted, man...
It's amazing to see how down to earth humble of a man Greg is. Not 1 backstabbing no bitch in or complaing. He's the Ultimate Preofesional hands down wut a legend.
Owen gave us everything
It really took some balls to wrestle The Hammer! 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nut buster!!! Keep sharing the stories, Hammer!
The Hammer was such a tough wrestler, with one hell of a mean streak in the ring, and also one hell of a tactician.
To learn that such a nasty heel from my childhood is such a fantastic, down to earth, friendly and respectful guy is one of the great things about wrestling.
The interviews you’ve done with Greg Valentine have been absolutely top-notch.
Well done, boys.
Great video thank's
Hi! Greg is the Best, Love Watching HIM!!
⚡️⚡️⚡️God Bless You Greg !!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !!!
Love hearing his stories. 😎
Pure class great insight
Greg "The Nutbuster" Valentine 😂. Poor Greg lol
This is pure gold!!
Gotta hand it to Greg, he knows his Canadian TV back in the day.
The Hammer!!! Nut buster!!! Great guy, haven't ever heard him talk bad about anyone
Damn GV, they should have called you the "Nut Cracker"😅
Holy shit, Owen really was a Nugget.
That's why shawn probably called him that
@@powerful-knowledge77 thats right buddy.
I grew up watching Greg Valentine. I am 62 now.
Big difference now is that the Wrestlers have bad control over their Kicks. People are getting Kicked Full Force.
Al.ost impossible for a Wrestler to Pull his Kicks.
Just call him Greg "The nutcracker" Valentine...
These guys have great stories because they wrestled in so many different promotions. I bet today's WWE wrestlers couldn't do it.
Greg Valentine was old school and made wrestling legit. A true tough guy.
Love the HAMMER. Awesome interview
I remember the I Quit match between Greg Valentine and Rugged Ronnie Garvin. A must watch if you are or were a Wrestling Fan
1990 Royal Rumble, I think.
Arn Anderson might seem cool after his “glock” schpill, but he’ll never be as cool as Rick Rude holding a Desert Eagle while standing next to Vader cool!!!
Love Greg interviews
That's why they call him the Hammer. He pounds those nuts.
Love Greg! Since 1985😊 Oakland California. Man....the cigarette smoke was Crazy😊
Gives new meaning to Owen being nicknamed "The Nugget".
The Hammer (Valentine), one of the best, funny seeing him all chilled, I remember him just pounding away on people, lol. The Ravishing one, RIP.
Just love Gregs stories
I can listen to the Hammer talk all day.
The hammer was great. Loved him as a heel at the Greensboro Coliseum. Look at that beautiful hair.. still perfect! Thanks!
Could watch Greg's interviews alot,he needs a weekly show.
The nut cracker!😂🤣😭😱😵
What a great guy. Great wrestler too.
Look up his matches with Bob Backlund if you haven’t. Classic works of skill.
