Ken Patera interview is better than actually watching today’s pro wrestling.
Agreed
Today's wrestling 🤼♂️ on 📺 is Goat 🐐 tripe...
Billy was WWF Champ for 9 months should have been Champ from 74 - 1980 Easy pure heat Charisma
Thank you for commenting
Billy was champ from 4-30-77 thru 2-20-78 way to short. I was live for billy's entire reign at MSG. He was so over.😊
Thank you
I saw Ken in the Old Boston Gardens against Bruno as a kid. It was packed. I know we were in the balcony
Very cool
I met Ken Patera at the old Buffalo memorial auditorium...wow!!!! He was intense and intimidating. He was nice, didn't say much but you knew not to mess with him. A man's man. He's the type that if he's at a bar, people avoid him just because he looks dangerous!!.... has he killed someone? Original ice-man.
Nice
He needs to go in the WWE Hall of Fame. Seriously one of the biggest omissions right now
Agreed
HE HAS BEEN IN 20 YEARS
@@chrischar9428 not patera he is not in
The greatest bad guy ever the king of trash talk that every modern trash talker looks up to. Real deal power lifter that could back it up all the way.
Icon
Ken Patera, swinging neckbreaker, yesss!!🤫🤫
In AEW they may no sell it
Great! The proof I needed that Ken Patera was seriously considered to take the WWWF belt from Bruno.
Yes from what he had informed us
I think he might actually be talking about the title matches with Billy in Portland, Maine on May 31, 1977 (heel vs. heel double DQ) and July 12, 1977 (Monsoon guest ref)
Thank you
Yes, it was in Portland, you are correct. I never knew the ending in there match until now. Yeah 1977 was an historic year in wrestling.
@@user-bi9fo3sx6l thank you
Ken Patera rules.
Yes
Ken is truly one of the last real men, they don't make em like that anymore.
AGREED
Great channel
Thank you
Kinda strange to say Outside the ring billy was normal like the rest of us.Superstar did appear normal but a lot of wresters don't.
Good comment
Superstar had charisma. Howdy Doody Backlund was B O R I N G !!! And I was a fan during that era.
We were also both were great
"Bodybuilder" or not, Superstar Billy Graham bench pressed 605 lbs back when the only guy who beat Graham held the world record at 615 lbs - only 10 lbs more that Superstar.
Good stuff
BILLY and KEN were both admitted steroid users. i am much more impressed with BRUNO SAMMARTINO who was clean and benched 565 pounds in 1959 and weighed only 265 pounds. and that was with a 2 second pause and no wraps or shirt.
@@MrMferg240 thank you for commenting
@@MrMferg240 Are you sure Bruno was clean? Steroid users are like pedophiles, you never find out until they get busted. Steroids were around since the 1930's.
@@MrMferg240Well, Wayne’s use was sadly, extremely heavy, and Ken’s was extremely mild in comparison. Super Star paid the price ( PED use) with his horrible health issues in his later years .
Bob Backlund was boring, big business mistake backing him over Super Star Billy Graham for the title.
Disagree graham could not be trusted
Also Bob was the real deal back then the NWA would have made attempts to shoot on these title vs title matches. They could not do this with Backlund. Also how was it a mistake. MSG was sold out every month. Backlund is a icon
@@montethepharaohli1prowrestling, Billy Graham redefined the industry. There wouldn't have been Hulk Hogen/Hollywood Hogan, Jesse the Body Ventura and Big Pappa Pump without him. I'd also argue there wouldn't have been Razor Ramon, or Kevin Nash, at least not in the personas we know them as.
@@jasonwilliams3967 Agreed but if you ran the WWE would you have trusted him? he hung you out to dry twice and through out the years did nothing but back stab the WWE ALL THESE YEARS. So what you say is correct but no organization would make him their guy. Look at georgia and the other areas after he left WWE nothing happened they made him a mid carder. considering what the WWE ended up being we think he made the correct decision
So you know nothing about WWWF back then.
What a shame.
@@NewBluesBros, I was watching it in the late '70s, Bob Backlund was boring, Superstar Billy Graham wasn't...
People who dont lift have no idea between bodybuilding & powerlifting not close now on strong man contests certain lifts that dont involve pure strength might be close deadlift lift not close squat not close maybe if they had to pull like a row they might come close.
Good comment
Patera says he was an Olympic weightlifter. True. But he wasn't a powerlifter. Bench pressing is NOT Olympic weightlifting.
Not to take anything away from Hogan, but I believe that Superstar Billy Graham would have been Hulk Hogan before Hulk, if they would have turned Graham babyface in ‘78.
Hogan himself openly admits to copying Superstar Billy Graham when he got his start.
Good comment
The body claims he did the same. Superster was the muse to the next big thing.
@@arkhaminmate3727 true
What does Ken mean by selling out "around the horn". I am guessing he means 3 or 4 different WWF East coast venues, perhaps MSG, Boston Garden, I dont know what else. Pittsburgh? Philadelphia?
You are correct
Boston , the garden ,philly Baltimore, DC. New haven maybe considered a b town but it was in the middle of the circuit too
@@iang8169 Good Comment
He didn't sell out Washington DC, actually Largo, MD with either Bruno or Backlund. Not even close!
Thank you
Billy was ripped off by Terri Bollea to become Hogan. He took everything from superstar ✨️
appreciate the comment
Kenny sounds a little...tired.
It was late for him
He's 80 freakin years old.
The Backlund critics seem out of touch with reality. Bob was very popular with the fans; he served the territory well during his tenure. It’s ok to prefer Graham to Backlund, but don’t create a revisionist glance back at wrestling history which makes Bob less than what he was!
Love this comment
The ego on this mid carder
thank you for commenting
Ken patera was the 2 man to hold the ic title
Tell me your talking out of your ass without saying it
