He speaks fondly of wrestling all the time. I know he's spoken about watching WWF during the attitude era with Patrice O'Neal when they were comedians on the come up and then how Patrice got a job in WWF creative. He's a real fan.
True story, I used to play in a band at this venue where 2 wrestlers would bartend. The one guy found out I'm a huge wrestling mark (hes still in the business so I won't say his shoot name) and asked me who my favorite wrestler was. Without any hesitation and in my best cuban accent I told him, "Razor Ramon, Chico." To which he slapped me in the stomach and put me in the Razors Edge. Now up until this point it was the coolest thing that ever happened to me. There I was in the crucifix powerbomb and just as he was going to let me go (not actually delivering the move mind you) my dumbass friend bumped into us with an amplifier causing the bartender/wrestler to lose his grip and drop me back first on said amp. Since that day my back has never been the same, it was 15 years ago. From that moment any miconceptions I had from my grandparents saying "they know how to fall so they are safe doing big moves" was shattered, much like my back. It made me a bigger fan without a doubt.
Funny story, for some reason it came to be that getting slapped by Antonio Inoki in Japan was good luck or a show of respect that kind of imbued you with fighting spirit. Many people would come up to Antonio Inoki and ask to be slapped by him. A former UFC champion, Lyoto Machida used to fight in Pride FC in Japan. After one of his matches, Inoki was impressed by his performance. He met Machida outside of the ring and slapped the hell out of him. Machida did not know about this tradition and just took the slaps from him and bowed.
Interesting he has a bad back from figure four, my back has been fucked up since I was in like 5th grade from my buddy cranking a Walls of Jericho on me.
The worst move that I ever took as a kid was a DDT from my older brother's friend, who was about 8 years my senior. My head planted into the living room floor so hard that it forced me to do the lawn dart sell where I went a perfect 90 degrees and landed onto my back. I was knocked out for about a good five minutes and had to have my neck cracked to unjam it. The stiffness and pain stayed with me for a considerable amount of time.
yeah, saturn put a beating on mike bell. of course internet and it's rumors claim saturn was about to get a push but knocking the hot piss out of bell killed it for him.
Inoki was president of the promotion they fought in and took the business *very* seriously, a legit fighter. So Great Antonio picked literally the worst person in the entire fucking world to pull this shit on.
Exactly. There hasn't been a takedown on all these videos that clip his podcast, but that could change real quick if people start monetizing their videos.
The wrestler he's talking about, Antonio Inoki, also "fought" Muhammad Ali, back in the 70's. If I remember it correctly, as soon as the bell rang, Inoki fell on his back and just kicked Ali's legs, repeatedly. I actually think it may have done some very real damage and possibly contributed to Ali's decline. I also believe the "fight" was declared a draw.
I have no idea what the rules were for the "fight". It was long ago, but I do seem to remember Ali, and everyone else for that matter, being upset at the way Inoki refused to get up. Are you suggesting that Inoki was only allowed to lie on his back and kick Ali's legs? I doubt Ali would've ever signed up for that.
Apparently what happened is that Ali and his people thought that it was just going to be a show, kinda like pro wrestling. But Inoki said he was actually going to fight Ali. So they had to renegotiate the rules of the fight and told Inoki that he couldn't grapple and can only kick with one knee on the mat. This all happened just a few days before the fight. Basically it was either Inoki tries boxing with Muhammad Ali or go for leg kicks while laying down.
Judging from the thumbnail, i thought he was going to mention the time Bruiser Brody waited outside a promoter's hotel room with a baseball bat because that promoter thought he would get away with not paying him.
Inoki is a mean dude. A guy you really don't wanna get pissed off, but as long as his opponent plays the game he will too. The moment he gets a whiff of a shoot you better believe he's about to beat your ass bloody.
What about Ravishing Rick Rude? Whe he won a match he would pick out a "lucky" girl from the crowd who would have to make out with him and who was also acting with him.
randy mitchell did you hear the one about the time he picked Jake Roberts "escort" for the night, well when he laid her back for the "Rude Awakening", he got a mouthful of Jake's snakejizz.....that's the rumor but, Rick Rude was known for being a legit badass, so take it or leave it.
The one with the new guy who dropped the psycho on his head was Mike Bell. He dropped Perry Saturn on his head after a snapmare takedown, causing Saturn to literally just see red, lose his mind and beat him senseless. Saturn, years later, has said how sorry he is to Mike Bell. He says he actually threw him out of the ring so he could keep himself from beating up Mike more than he already had.
Japan has the toughest wrestlers in the world. They are bat shit crazy and have been ahead of the industry for it. They're still rock stars over there, compared to the mid-level success in entertainment it is in most other countries at best. They just lay in to each other with everything and it's hard to go "this is fake" because they're really beating the shit out of each other, even though it is a scripted feud.
Match he is on about first is Perry Saturn. He said he threw the guy out because he was knocked stupid. Didn't know what he was doing. They stuck him with the mop gimmick for that shit hahaha
He's talking about Perry Saturn beating the shit out of Mike Bell. Its the whole reason he got stuck with the "Moppy" gimmick. I guess Saturn was legit knocked out on his feet and just went apeshit to defend himself after Bell dropped him on his head twice.
The Great Antonio had one of the most disgusting, slovenly appearances of any wrestler of his era. By 1977, the Great Antonio was well past his prime. It was a huge mistake for him to no-sell Antonio Inoki and try to shoot on him. After the beating that the Great Antonio took from Inoki, it’s no wonder that he finally retired from pro wrestling.
The Great Antonio wouldn't sell for anyone. He's one of the worst workers ever and people hated working with him. Antonio Inoki was a legit bad ass and a legendary Japanese wrestler.
Best Shoots are with New Jack, that mutha-fa-ka will cut you up in the ring. Dan Spivey messing up a jobber who wouldn't sell Rick Steiner stiffing Konnan
holy shit I had no idea burr was such an old school wrestling head!!!
Another reason to love Bill Burr
me either lol
Those are some great names memories.
He speaks fondly of wrestling all the time. I know he's spoken about watching WWF during the attitude era with Patrice O'Neal when they were comedians on the come up and then how Patrice got a job in WWF creative. He's a real fan.
Look up his interview in the Stone Cold podcast, it's great! Two parts, both here on CZcams
Bill need to do a show with Jim Cornette
Wow that would be a must see show 😯
Best part would be when they go on rants. 🤣
Lmaooo that'd be wild
That would be priceless. I really dont know who would win a "rant battle" and it doesnt matter. I think id be putting my money on corny tho🤣
They would get into an actual argument guaranteed 😂
When he went on about Saito and SD Jones you know he knows wrestling
Yeah that kinda blew my mind lol
Huge wrestling fan here. Bill burr is the man

1:12 Holy shit, Bill. Didn't you know then as a kid to reverse the pressure of a figure four you have to roll over? lol
I lost a bet and got put in the Lion Tamer. Not the Walls of Jericho...the legit Lion Tamer. I thought I was going to die
Bill Burr talking shoot wrestling is a new genre, I only just discovered I really needed :D
i like when he starts naming off a bunch of legends
That is one of the most famous shoots ever. Antonio the Great deserved what he got. Antonio Inoki is the real great.
Tom "Dynamite Kid" Billington vs Tiger Mask. Some of the best matches of there era peroid .
Dynamite Kid against a Heckler, now there's a shoot
Bro I just got back into wrasling. I feel like a complete idiot and it's a great feeling.
Bill likes wrestling?! Hell yeah !!! Wrestlan!
The Von Erichs were fucking awesome!!
I just got respect for Bill Burr
I love how his original intention is to talk about shoot fighting, but really wanted to mark out multiple times over several wrestlers.
Every day I relate more and more to Bill Burr
Funny story, for some reason it came to be that getting slapped by Antonio Inoki in Japan was good luck or a show of respect that kind of imbued you with fighting spirit. Many people would come up to Antonio Inoki and ask to be slapped by him. A former UFC champion, Lyoto Machida used to fight in Pride FC in Japan.

Bill's talking about Perry Saturn at 3:25
im still waiting for arn Anderson to answer back to tosh lol
billz co He picked the wrong Anderson, now Ole would have ate Tosh for lunch and then complained about how bony his meal was!
Chris Bowen He'd definitely complain about something.
New Jack is the master of the shoot match
Interesting he has a bad back from figure four, my back has been fucked up since I was in like 5th grade from my buddy cranking a Walls of Jericho on me.
The worst move that I ever took as a kid was a DDT from my older brother's friend, who was about 8 years my senior.

My back hasn't been the same after I took a Pedigree
Tombstoned my buddy on a trampoline when i was 15, fucked up back ever since.
How about taking the stinkface by your girlfriend?
Casey N I did a jackknife powerbomb on a neighborhood kid and accidentally gave him a concussion.
I unfortunately missed these great times i wZ born in the 80s
Look at Bill rattling off all the legends
I need to see burr with corny.
Perry Saturn.
Not a lot of people remember that. When he was taking about it that's exactly who I thought he was talking about. lol
Saturn's moppy gimmick was his punishment for that.
yeah, saturn put a beating on mike bell. of course internet and it's rumors claim saturn was about to get a push but knocking the hot piss out of bell killed it for him.
The rest of his life has been his punishment. Don't smoke meth.
neverwalkalone Burr only played on a show about a guy who cooked meth.
Inoki was president of the promotion they fought in and took the business *very* seriously, a legit fighter. So Great Antonio picked literally the worst person in the entire fucking world to pull this shit on.
Loved him on the Chappelle show
Did you really monetize this video?
Iron sheikh had the Persian club
Zach Olea You want him to spread Bills word for free?
Charlie Brown yeah
if money is involved.. it's Bill's.. not a dude that uploads it..
all or nothing
Bill puts his podcast's out for free... this fucking cunt is trying to make money off that.. what a fucking pathetic piece of shit
Exactly. There hasn't been a takedown on all these videos that clip his podcast, but that could change real quick if people start monetizing their videos.

I actually think it may have done some very real damage and possibly contributed to Ali's decline. I also believe the "fight" was declared a draw.
Mark Ensel that was all inoki was allowed to do kicks to the lower body

Bill burr ,Joey Diaz ,and Lou Anderson are the best story tellers.
Judging from the thumbnail, i thought he was going to mention the time Bruiser Brody waited outside a promoter's hotel room with a baseball bat because that promoter thought he would get away with not paying him.
Inoki is a mean dude. A guy you really don't wanna get pissed off, but as long as his opponent plays the game he will too. The moment he gets a whiff of a shoot you better believe he's about to beat your ass bloody.
Rick Steiner, Perry Saturn, and Bob Holly from Tough Enough all had pretty good shoot matches.
He needs to have jim cornette on for an interview
Picture from the Heat is classic.
What about Ravishing Rick Rude? Whe he won a match he would pick out a "lucky" girl from the crowd who would have to make out with him and who was also acting with him.
randy mitchell did you hear the one about the time he picked Jake Roberts "escort" for the night, well when he laid her back for the "Rude Awakening", he got a mouthful of Jake's snakejizz.....that's the rumor but, Rick Rude was known for being a legit badass, so take it or leave it.
Chris Bowen ...l'll leave it 😝ha ha
Hot Rod is in heaven laying it all out for GOD
Bill burr needs to watch the new jack incident
Bill burr knows wrestling.
I can't believe he forgot the greatest of all time, Super Calo.
I've heard his before and I just realized the first shoot match he was talking about was that Perry Saturn one 😂
The one with the new guy who dropped the psycho on his head was Mike Bell. He dropped Perry Saturn on his head after a snapmare takedown, causing Saturn to literally just see red, lose his mind and beat him senseless.
Saturn, years later, has said how sorry he is to Mike Bell. He says he actually threw him out of the ring so he could keep himself from beating up Mike more than he already had.
Just thinking of this today RIP INOKI

I wish he saw faded ve stan hansen in japan
“SD Jones never won but he was the coolest” lmao
Match he is on about first is Perry Saturn. He said he threw the guy out because he was knocked stupid. Didn't know what he was doing. They stuck him with the mop gimmick for that shit hahaha
Maven...err Raven.
He's talking about Perry Saturn beating the shit out of Mike Bell. Its the whole reason he got stuck with the "Moppy" gimmick. I guess Saturn was legit knocked out on his feet and just went apeshit to defend himself after Bell dropped him on his head twice.
He was talking about Perry Saturn throwing that jobber out of the ring on his head.
And he’ll just fu**!ng throw ya!….😆😆😆😆

The Polish Hammer!
I know exactly the match he spoke about the guy being thrown out and landing on his head. poor guy man.
Perry Saturn right? Can't remember the opponent
The Great Antonio wouldn't sell for anyone. He's one of the worst workers ever and people hated working with him. Antonio Inoki was a legit bad ass and a legendary Japanese wrestler.
The Great Antonio aka "The Fat F$ck"(at least according to Bill) LOL
The Figure Fourth grade
Bill bur become a pro wrestling commentator because commentators these days suck so freaking bad at calling matches
He would not enjoy New Jacks shoot matches
See a chiropractor Bill
How did a leg move mess up Bill's back lol
You have to roll your entire body over to feel less pain. So he clearly tried that and messed his back up
Hulk Hogan vs. Shawn Micheals was a classic shoot match. Wasn't violent, but shawn oversold every single thing Hulk Hogan was doing offensively
Hulkamaniac since 1988 here.
Stuart Otis so?
hahahab it really was almost attempted murder
Best Shoots are with New Jack, that mutha-fa-ka will cut you up in the ring.
Dan Spivey messing up a jobber who wouldn't sell
Rick Steiner stiffing Konnan

Comment
Angry reply
All the names he mention from old school wrestling there name sounds sooo white lol
Inoki was the Japanese guy. John Tenta (shark, earthquake, etc) was the fat guy.
Michael Barker No, lol. That is not John Tenta
Sport Of Wrestling was he not talking about this match? czcams.com/video/u4nlN0mvXCc/video.html
No. This IS Tenta vs Kitao. Burr is talking about Inoki vs The Great Antonio.
Yeah two different matches with different wrestlers bud but another good shoot all the same 👍🏻
