I never appreciated Guys like Valentine when I was a young fan but as an older guy I realized that without this guy the Big Stars were Nothing, these guys are the unsang Heroes of the Industry.
right? I fucking LOVED the ultimate warrior. Watch a few stories and jesus, that whole thing is shattered.
@@TheWillvoss lmao tell me about it. Ti also thought the Ultimate Warrior was awesome and then I read some stuff about how he treated Bobby Heenan and some other bad stuff. He was a good motivational speaker though, a conservative (which is unusual for a wrestler) his gimmick was awesome. It's just a shame he was an a#shole
Agreed
I totally agree with you at the time I really thought he was the worst. And the mouth of the south. Always yelling and never understanding what the hell he was saying other Baby.
Valentine had classics at MSG during different runs.
Greg was a always a gentleman. I worked at a gym in the early 80's and when Greg came in to workout ; he was quiet and worked hard,every time he came. He always was polite; and courteous to all of the members. He was a class act for sure.
He never looked like a workout kind of guy. Then again very few wrestlers in general looked like they worked out back then.
@@CamaroAmx The old school wrestlers (like Flair) did alot of air squats for their legs. Usually 300-400 at a time every day to get legs like a Flair or Valentine.
@@jonmccormick8683 but they weren’t so focused on definition like they today. There were a few but it was not the entire roster like today.
I think I’ve read somewhere that he’s a very humble guy.
@@CamaroAmxthey still don't they use more goopy juice now. Its easier for them to get away with it now.
I was waiting tables at a Holiday Inn right outside of Pittsburgh in the mid 90's and waited on Greg and Matt Bourne. (They were in town for an Indy Show) really cool and down to earth guys and since I didn't want to look like a "Mark" I just kept it cool and kept the conversation casual. They finished up and left (didn't leave a tip, but I didn't give a shit) because just waiting on them was cool enough. Fast forward a few years, I was an up and coming wrestler for a small promotion in Nashville and I was booked to work with Greg that night. We met up before the match and discussed the finish. I then asked him if he remembered eating at the Holiday Inn where I worked, and I about died when he remembered me. He even brought up that they forgot to leave a tip lol. So being as cool as a guy as he is, he decided not to let me go down without putting some heat on him and knocking him around. He was literally going to put me over since I was only a year into the business. However, I wanted to be put into the figure four. So he said "fuck it, if that's what you want" he put it on, I sold the McShit out of it and tapped out. Got back to the locker room and I shit you not, he already had lit up a smoke and told me "good job" and said he would like to work with me again. I never did work with him again, but that was a moment in my 7 years of wrestling that will always be the most memorable. Thank you Greg!!!!
AWESOME!!!!!!! Yessss
I have a Pittsburgh wrestling story as well Joe. I went to IUP in the late 90s-early 2000s, and I always have loved playing the ponies, so some buddies and I would always go to an OTB in Pittsburgh for the Kentucky Derby every year.
We got down there for the 2001 Derby, and were talking about a pre race, and all of sudden this black guy walks in front of my buddy, and my buddy says, "Thats Virgil, The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase's manager." I laughed, because it was such a random comment and person to see, but I looked and ill be damned, it was. Virgil hears this, and angrily says to my friend, "Yeah, and who the F are you?", like a real jerk.
A few hours later, I went to bet at a self betting machine, and Virgil was next to me, beating on the side of his machine like a crazy man in front of everyone. I took it that he was having a bad day betting the horses, and was down a lot of cash. It was so loud that security came up to him, and asked him to leave.
Anyway, thats my Pittsburgh wrestling story lol.
Sure...
That story made my day.
Rassler don't tip!! Being in their presence is your tip!
He’s looking more and more like Mama Fratelli from the Goonies.
😂😂
Jawanna Man wow. You win the internet for the day. Hahahaha
😂😂😂
‘Mama you been bad...’ 😂
“Kids suck.”
Greg was and still is one of my all time favorites! Doesn't get enough credit for how good he was! Love to meet him!
I grew up watching his dad ...tough act to follow.
grew up seeing Johnny Valentine on NWA Wrestling JCP
Was a nice guy when I met him as a kid. We were on our way to watch a house show. He was at a gas station. We asked him for an autograph there but he didn’t want the attention. So he had us follow him until he pulled over and signed an autograph and let us take a pic. Super nice of him to do that. If you read the comments Greg I just want to say thank you!! That was cool of you
Funny you bring that up, because when I met him outside of a show in 1991 when I was 8, he was a piece of shit. He said "get the fuck away from me kid" when I asked for an autograph. He was a baby face then. The Barbarian who was a heel at the time time saw this and walked right over and signed an autograph for me. Valentine's been a scumbag his entire life.
@@JoeLewisthehorror Most of them are off camera.
I've heard so many of these stories where they're a dick one minute and nice the other. I think it all depends when the painkillers kick in.
The Horror omg !! What an asshole!
The Horror that’s crazy. I was about that age. Sucks he was a dick to you. Now I have a similar story with Oprah. That bitch was rude when I asked for an autograph when I was in third grade
“The Hammer” and his figure four leg lock were awesome
Yup
I think that Greg Valentine's figure four leg lock was better than Ric Flair's
Eric Bradley awesome or boring? Nah jk, his time that was great
@@radrich4873 wooooooooo!
I remember watching the Hammer and Bob Backlund go to a time-limit draw at the Capital Center in the early 80s. Great wrestlers, great match.
Greg "The Hammer" Valentine was a great heel. Hated his guts and this smug look he used to have in the ring. But he was great to watch . Hammer time!!
The Hammer is such a great guy and a criminally underrated worker.
Dude. Please. He was trash
Yeah, not really that good of a worker.
Do you know him personally?
@@jrsmith1998 get
he was great in the 80s.... figure 4
The best ever at falling flat on his face without flinching 😂
And one of the first to patent the "Figure Four" leg lock as a finishing gimmick. I know Rick Flair is known for it, but Valentine was the first I ever saw use it on TV when I was a kid. This is WWF days in the late '70s, early 80s stuff. Before the Rock and Wrestling shit started.
@Luis flair stole buddy rogers gimmick
@Luis flair also stole the face first fall as well
Bubba Ray Dudley was pretty good at it too.
@@Danimal1177 get out of here kid. No one did it better than Valentine and Flair. Don't even compare them.
I saw him in Dallas at a house show. He was supposed to be heel. But the crowd including me chanted his name, and he was so surprised and changed the finish.
Earthquake lived in my neighborhood back in Florida, we would see him around town, and talk to him all the time. He was going by the Shark at that time.
Thats awesome. I used to chat with him on the WrestleCrap boards. He was so cool.
Greg The Hammer Valentine is the consummate professional and a living legend of wrestling!
Mr Valentine was one of the most toughest wrestler ever known. No nonsense attitude. What every wrestler should be.
Valentine was a great heel and seemed like a no nonsense rugged guy.
Valentine was great in the 80's.
He WAS a good heel, he was a terrible face. Love Yesterday's Fan.
@Allen Franklin how is that a bad thing? I take it you're an ass kisser towards good guys then. 🤦♂️
I liked him!
@Allen Franklin 😑🖕
@Allen Franklin handle what Truth? You didn't even tell me the difference no wonder you're dumb as hell.
His dog collar match with Piper was classic
Greg is a stand up man. He put people over when it was for the business but he refused to job for low pay when it was a burial. Good on him. He paid more dues than most workers and had a key eye on what was good for business. Promoters should of kept better care of him. He draws and works hard.
Keen eye. Should have taken better care.
He heel’d so perfect..... I hated him. That damn Shin Guard made his figure four so much more fearsome.
💯
Yeah I hated him as well. Him, Beefcake and Jimmy Hart were good in their roles
Glenn Archer Exactly! When wrestling was good ol’ Wrasslin’
Why are they letting him use that DAMN shin guard?!? Lol
@@kinglucha3640 that was some bullshit lol I remember he use to take it off before match
A wrestling legend right there, Greg “The Hammer” Valentine. I remember the famous rivalry he had with “Rugged” Ronnie Garvin.
Hes not dead
What do you mean RIP? He is still alive.
😂 RIP!
Yeah... He's yet alive.
Rubbish Ronnie Garbage. lol jk He was a tough bastard in the ring.
He didn’t quit right after WM7... he jobbed to IRS (Mike Rotunda) at SummerSlam ‘91, and was in the ‘92 Royal Rumble before leaving.
New York Racing Fan Yeah, I saw him at a WWF house show that summer.
I was thinking that too so he really must be remembering it wrong or he just refused to sign a new contract and just see out the one he was on. Either way makes his whole story null and void as it doesn't match up.
Valentine also appeared on Saturday Night's Main Event shortly after WM7, was in a Battle Royal and almost won!( Valentine and Mr. Perfect were the last 2 in the ring, Hennig was the winner in the end ).
And he says he took 6 months off but he was in WCW within a month of leaving WWF
I was at summer slam 91
The Hammer!
😂 😂 😂
🔨
The Hammer was the best at taking a hit and then dropping hard on the mat. Him and Flair
sold it so well but Hammer was my favorite for the flop drop. Plus the elbows were pretty awesome.
Flair took the highest back body drops in the business.
@@clownpenis13 Well he had to since he so rarely did anything even remotely high risk lol had to compensate somewhere for the co-wrasslers
@@biggains1 none of them were though. I dont think any of them could exactly call themselves high risk with a straight face. They were good workers and when you can work, you dont need stunts to get a crowd reaction.
@@reallyannoyingguyrighthere I feel the same way, especially about wrasslers like Ric Flair.
@@biggains1 I loved them all. They were good at getting a crowd involved. I remember being so pissed off with Flair when I was young. He barely mounted any offence and always won. It just worked. All these suicide dives are ok and all but it was more fun back then.
I'm surprised that no big organization ever thought to team Greg Valentine with Jim Neidhart. The Hammer and The Anvil! Two big bruisers that could go out and manhandle a team of smaller faces and look like a legitimate threat to tag team titles anywhere.
Im putting this tag team together as soon as i get home.WWE 2k19
Should've teamed him with that guy nailz that fueded with bossman
🤯🤯🤯 They probably should've been added to the demolition stable.😁
@@ericdemby4644 nailz was not a good person from everything I’ve read about him. He got into an argument with Vince which ended with Vince knocked on the floor and then claimed Vince groped him (despite witnesses saying otherwise. More like nailz grabbed Vince by the throat during the argument and nailz knocked him to the ground) and then testified against Vince at the steroid trial. Nailz later said the argument was about money and that the only reason he testified was in the hope that Vince would pay him off to keep his mouth shut.
From Greg's point of view, intercontinental match at wm1, tag team title match at WM2 against the bulldogs, in the heavyweight title tournament at WM4, a squash match at the biggest ppv would've been hard to swallow.
His match with irs at summerslam 91 is very underrated
In what way, it’s just a mid card wrestling match nothing special,his match with ronnie garvin at royal rumble 90 was great though.
Why that match? He was on his way out there.
Greg doesn't just talk about the history of wrestling he is the history of wrestling. Always gives a great interview a complete gentleman.
Greg and Ronnie Garvin feud was pretty entertaining I wish they made more about it. It was almost main event level beef between the two characters. I think Vince slept on some money there. You know when you see Greg smile and laugh here in this video he is charming, I wish he expressed that more back in the day on camera.
This guy was my favorite heel back in the day thought he was real tough guy THE HAMMER rocks.
Earthquake! A typical challenger......rather unknown,...HUGE...all power moves. His finish move was....him sitting on your chest! SPLASH! Right from his opening appearance.....it was clear! He was going after Hogan! Heavyweight Title! Took about a year....of him going thru other wrestlers...and building up a story line! After Hogan beat him? He disappeared! Then some other guy would appear......unstoppable! Hammer was a consistent tag team wrestler,..technical wrestler! Respect!
And he was careful not to REALLY splat on your chest. He was HUGE! Squish you like a bug!
Il Postino I think he was being poetic/nostalgic...not doing his dissertation or thesis for his doctorate degree!
Greg is such a great interview. His stories are the best.
Thanks for the video, TITLE MATCH WRESTLING
Great guy I met him
When I was around 12, bumped into him when I was down in Tarpon Springs, FL. He was terrific and I’m still mad (28 years later) that I lost his autograph.
Man......this guy was just fun to watch wrestle......huge respect for the Hammer. Totally underrated.
Thank you for the memories, Hammer!
Very Underrated!!!
I always liked how he fell face first on the Matt when he went down LoL
It looks like he did that move a million times then
I first saw Greg in the Buffalo/ Cleveland market in the NWF As 1/2 of the FABULOUS FARGO BROTHERS Tag Team! GREAT WORKER and INTERVIEW!!
I loved seeing this guy in WCW when I was a kid. Always good to see an elbow take people out. Also John Tenta was amazing.
I saw Greg Valentine vs Tito Santana in the Bergenfield (NJ) High School gym in 1997. That was fun!
I loved his tag team with Terry Taylor in 92. No idea how he ended up back in the WWF shorty after.
Love this guy. Great info and interesting
Loved the look in his face ( Blank Stare ) just before he did his face first to the mat move. Hilarious 😂😂😂
Greg The Hammer Valentine is one of the all time greatest and he did the right thing quitting after what Vince McMahon did to him.
Born and raised in Seattle I cheered for the hammer whenever I seen him in a match.
Got to cheer for the hometown guy #GoHawks
cool stuff!
A good wrestler. Always enjoyed watching him.
I know Valentine had some legendary feuds in the NWA, but my favorite feud of his was his feud with Rugged Ronnie Garvin in the WWF mainly because they were two of the toughest guys to ever lace up a pair of boots. Their matches were stiff, and brutal!
Loved you in "Throw momma from the train".
And Goonies 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"The only thing we serve here is Tongue"
Ha ha
Lmaooooo
Love the oldies 👍👍
Greg Valentine is such a Legend, people talk of Flair and Hogan, the Hammer is easily on par with them. People should watch his interview with Roddy Piper, it was awesome hearing stories about the Hammers Dad.
Imagine that. Screwing legends over like, Hart, Rude, Valentine, Wayne, and of course many many others. No real relationships were built in between, especially during the, "attitude," era. Gee, I wonder why WWE, is slowly going into the toilet nowadays....
The Hammer was on of my favorites growing up Face or Heel always loved The Hammer
He shows more energy when he sings for Mötley Crüe
Now that is fucking hilarious right their.
Dead 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dissing vince Neil like that wow lol
A dabba babba ba doin 103 muh heart muh heart kick stard muh heart yaya YAYA
herecomesdatrain who cares Vince Neil was Axl Rose’s bitch. lol
"Sick of all these guys sitting around while I am working hard" "Do you want to work?" "No"
Busting his ass he says...I respect the Hammer but busting ass isn’t something he did much of lol! And he was washed up. A Sting job to make him look tough is really the most he could do at that point,
Sting was the top guy in WCW at the time, why would you say no to working with him. Greg was well past his prime at that stage of his career. Get past your ego and do the job.
@@davidgraham8299 sounds more like he was loosing his spark for the business by that point. Maybe he had made enough money to do it for the love of wrestling and not for the money and the love was fading fast.
I don't think he minded doing a job for other wrestlers as he did it multiple times before. He just didn't like being made to look like one of those regular unknown jobbers you would see getting squashed in 5 minutes or less on TV back in the day. Seeing as how he was barely heading into his 40's (which is still prime years for pro wrestlers) when he lost to Earthquake at Wrestlemania 7, I guess he felt like he still had more left in the tank to be a top draw before being considered a washed up "has been" and believed they were doing him dirty. Although losing to Sting in WCW years later would be nothing to be ashamed of, I agree with CamaraoAmx that he probably did lose his spark or passion for the business and money was no longer an issue for him at that point in the 90's. He saw the way the business was changing and he must not have liked where it was going.
@@davidgraham8299 I can agree with that point of view, unless they were going to have Sting squash the Hammer in 3 minutes or something. The Hammer at least deserves a battle of SOME duration, and Sting being that top guy needed opponents that were at least something of a threat.
Greg "the Hammer" Valentine. One of my absolute favorites. He really hasn't aged much.
I really wanna meet hammer. I have been a huge fan since i was a kid.
He does autograph shows on occasion. Good guy to the fans.
I remember the time he was in the royal rumble and lasted around 40 min it was a record in his time in the 80s
Greg The Hammer Valentine one of the best who ever done it no question number one in my book The figure four no one can do it better
Wow...He’s actually is capable of laughing and smiling. Rarely see that out of him
All people are. I have heard many that worked with him say he was a depressed individual. Honky Tonk Man was the only one that said, "Yes." That's it. The same interview Rick Rude said he was always asleep and that's why Blues was his tag team name.
Much respect for the Hammer!
Haven't heard anyone say a bad thing about Valentine he seems like a good guy I enjoyed watching all his WWE/F runs.
Nice one
Greg deserved a hell of a lot more going out the door. Hell of a talent and very under rated
He didn't quit right after WM7.. He was still around for a mini Mr Perfect feud, lost to Irwin at Summerslam 91 and was in the 92 Royal Rumble match
I think he meant that he wasn’t going to renew his contract. He finished it out and took off. It’s highly unlikely that wrestler would break his contract, especially back then.
this guy was truly underrated wrestler , the hammer was one of the best …
Hammer has a nice spread... The Double Booked Ranch down in Florida! Luv ya Ham!
I was a teenager back in the mid 70's and I was watching a match on TV with Jim Crocket promotions, when he wrestled Wahoo McDaniel. In a fluke accident he grabbed Wahoo by the ankle/leg and fell backwards. When Wahoo's foot hit the floor it broke his ankle for REAL. Greg held the hold not knowing Wahoo's ankle was broken while Wahoo screamed in pain. After about 15 seconds he let go and the medics came in the ring. It was not a gage but they saw an opportunity and worked it into a feud but Wahoo had to wear a cast for about 2 months.
Greg Valentine looks like every lesbian high school gym coach that ever existed
michael durham lol think you’ve been watching scary movie to much,with the nuts hanging out the side the shorts
You can only hope at that age to look as good as a lesbian high school gym teacher
Lol that's brutal dude, but why can I see it?
It's 2020 butthole.
LMAO the poster child for WNBA fans everywhere.
Seattle in the house! Great feud between the Bulldogs. One of the greatest tag teams of all time Greg the Hammer Valentine and Brutus the Barber Beef Cake.
Pelican Jay my dad partied with Greg in C-town in the early 80’s ( late 70’s?) They did a tonnage of coke booze and women. My dad was a ladies man, so Greg liked the poon that my dad pulled- sounds like Greg a wild man on the streets! Fights, fucking shit up just for laughs, Fn with cops, etc etc. those were good times my friends! Now we got smart phones and blue haired freaks running around cutting their dicks off and shitty movies. Man the 2005-2020 sucks! And I have money home toys cars my looks still ....it just sucks....I’m moving to Hawaii soon tho...FUCK the mainland!
@@necron99.aka-sammyboy92 if you've never been to the islands then go. It's super hot and if you think your frustrated here just give time.
Sounds like you need to visit Ocean beach in San Diego. Hawaii isnt all its cracked up to be. I lived on Maui for quite some time.
I like Greg’s interviews.
Always the greatest in my book.
The Hammer. 🔨
He looks like my old Gym Teacher. I swear he could be her twin.
😄😄😄
Can also pass for the typical lunch lady.
Hal Stewart Miss Beulah Ballbricker (from “Porky’s”).
🤣🤣🤣🤣
A true wrestling legend he excelled as a heel and a fan-favorite . Shame he never got the respect he deserved from wwe or wcw.
He's not a legend. Stop being a mark.
Such an underrated performer, great wrestler, better actor, legendary as the mom of the crooks in the goonies
Man come on dude
Anyone Remember the I-Quit match, Greg Valentine Vs Ronnie Garvin, classic match, from the 1990 Royal Rumble, highly recommended, if you like or liked wrestling from the past.
Thanks!!
That was a good match. It is easy to forget the undercard from the first few Royal Rumbles, but they produced a few good matches.
@@marman51212 it was a great match. I have it on VHS Tape unfortunately that Tape is in south Asia, lol. I looked everywhere online and can't find this match. Also looked for the Valentine Vs Roddy Piper Bullrope match, wich I heard is an absolute banger but can't find it anywhere.
Never noticed how much the hammer resembles the actor guy madsen from kill bill
I remember Bobby Heenan saying, "After the match they would sing and dance for us." This was when he was with Honky Tonk Man.
A gentleman and class act
One tough guy real man
He's a classic.
Everyone making fun of Greg's looks, just remember he could still kick all your asses!!!
True he is a stocky muscular guy
These guys are normal. Now wrestlers are all posers. I prefer the old days
I saw him at an Indy match about two years ago. He can hardly walk his knees are so bad.
@sabrina..i wouldn't say they're normal...a lot of them were psychos.. coked up and roided out...thats what made them awesome. Cmon..compare Iron sheik and randy savage off camera to these pansies today.
If I can say something, he still has good hair for his age!
Him and the Warlord are the two nicest wrestlers to see being interviewed.
One of the best elbows and flop falls ever. A master of the figure 4
He didn't leave for good after mania tho. He was one of Shawn Michaels knights at Survivor Series 93 and was in the Rumble 94, Thats the last time i remember seeing him in WWF
That was after his brief run in WCW after leaving over not wanting to job to sting then after that flopped back over to WCW the 90s weren't kind to many of the guys who made their name in the 80s in wrestling as they were still trying to use the same old gimmick that people had grown bored of and he had just become a figure in the background by then.
He had a match against Rob Conway in WWE in 2005
My favorite match w/Him was when he faced The Undertaker back in 91....
Greg Valentine was great.
Legend
I'd leave too if my face ever got that close to Earthquake's junk.
"Herb Abrams owes me $2000 and he's dead"....LOL, classic Valentine !!
@@MrManfly herb owed a lot of people Money. He just decided to party himself to death instead of facing the fact that owed everyone money and his wrestling promotion was in the toilet.
Earthquake was cool, I liked him.
A class act and a great wrestler.
I respect Greg for doing business that night instead of walking out. Must be hard to do that when you’ve done as much as he had and close to 10 years with the company.
WrestleMania VII was strange in that there were 14 matches on the card. With Hogan Vs. Slaughter and Savage vs. Warrior taking a lot of storyline time, most of the other 12 matches were kept pretty brief.
9 or 10 of the matches had no real storyline, so they should have been brief. I thought that Mania was disappointing.
Chicho Santana vs The Mountie was short because Chicho ate something rotten and his stomach was upset.
When you realize this interview was filmed in 2000, only nine years after the Mania match. 😲
It’s a 2020 interview.
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
It says at the beginning of the video, and down below, that's it's from 2000
Lots of crying with laughter emojis
It was filmed 2 days ago during lockdown
It was uploaded two days ago, not filmed. It's an old interview from 20 years ago like the ones they put up with Bad News Brown.
I was in the audience. Only time I got to see The Hammer in person
Greg Valentine faced Haku in April 1991 at the UK Rampage tour and Won, after Wrestlemania 7, no word was mentioned about his loss to Earthquake at his pre match Interview, he also teamed up with the Texas Tornado for a match up against the Beverley Brother's ( Mike Enos and Wayne Bloom ) but lost
He was with wwf up through summerslam that year.
He was also in the 1992 Royal Rumble.
Yeah I remember watching him on Mid Atlantic Wrestling in the late 70's. Tag team Champions with some guy named uh what's his name, uh oh yea Ric Flair. I think he became The G.O.A.T!!
Thanks for putting earthquake over at wrestlemania 7 you are the greatest greg valentine
