In 1985 I was 8 years old and Barbarian on NWA World Wide Wrestling terrified me, I legit thought he was an untamed beast and he gave me nightmares, him and abdullah haunted my dreams lol. Barb was so physically huge with the face paint and the studded collar and the non speaking, I always sat a little closer to the TV when barb came on because I thought one day he might just eat somebody lol. It's fantastic that we get to hear their stories in so much detail these days and who would have thought he was such a sweet man. Barb, Haku, One Man Gang, Big Boss Man, Earthquake and John Studd were all terrifying heels but by all accounts the nicest guys. Great interview, keep them coming.
Exac t age... me too
One of the best wrestlers ever! The Barbarian should have had a run as The World Heavyweight Champion!
What an amazing life this man and Haku have had together...imagine growing up on a small island and being chosen by your elders to go fight in japan and then spend your entire life in the business? Such a great story...
Meng and Barbarian were legitimately scary in WCW. Looked like two guys who would beat someone to death in the parking lot over a poker game or something. Great times!!!👍👍
Barb can still bench over 300 lbs, not bad for a man in his 70's 💪💪💪
he is 64...
The barbarian is the man! Great interview 👍👍
Barbarian was one of those wrestlers that made me believe he was his character. Tully Blanchard is another one I would have been afraid to run into back in the day. I'd love to see him on with you sometime.
He was scary when I was a kid. I really can't think of any others that were that truly scary.
The Powers Of Pain and The Faces Of Fear should have been World Tag Team Champions
Barb had the best head kicks in the business . no one did it better then him.
I have a pencil drawing of The Barbarian I drew when I was about 11 years old. Niw I'm 43. Big fan of the Barbarian and Powers of Pain.
Great interview Barbarian well done!
This man was an ass kicking beast!!!! I will always remember The Barbarian becuase when I was a kid I met his tag team partner The Warlord !!! The Warlord was a giant with gigantic muscles and was soo cool to me, so I've been a fan of them two ever since!!! Barb was jacked and you can tell he was serious with the 🤜 fists too!!! Long live Barb!!
Merry Christmas thanks for all the great content!
One of my childhood favorites. I loved how the Barbarian moved in the ring. It is hard to put it into words. But everything was 'springy' and crisp. He would slam 300 pounders like it was nothing and then bounce back up. No unnecessary facial expression...just mean. There aren't monsters like this anymore. So i don't watch. To me..when i watch wrestling and bodybuilding, i want to see freaks.
Same. That's what's missing today. And spot on in regards with how he moved, very unique and I can't quite put it into words but it was very different. To this day he's the only person that I've ever seen move like that. It's as if his moves were so powerful that they almost threw him off a bit and even then that description doesn't do it justice. There is no one in wrestling today like him.
i love the shoot interviews of wrestlers, so good.
Barb such a pleasure to see your true character, genuine and honest and kind and humble! I'm glad you are healthy and thriving! Peace to you kind sir!
655 max benchpress back in day . Damn , 350 today , 5 reps. This guy is still is a beast. 💪
Ty James!! Hope you have happy holidays!!
Man I never knew the Barbarían could tell great stories!😂
Steroids must not be that big of a deal because this dude was enormous and he still alive in 2023
Well there’s a difference between use and abuse. Genetics play a big deal in how the body reacts. Glad that barb is still in great health he still wrestles on occasion.
What a stupid comment.
He would be a great voice over for the cookie monster..lol
Wow never heard Barbarian talk - love his accent and glad to see him in good health
This is the first wrestler that I really thought was scary as a kid.
All the Polynesian’s are kind gentle people. Just don’t piss them off.
Meng is the 300 pound version of chuck Norris
Dang, Tim Pool looking rough these days. Hope he’s okay.
Barbarian seems to get overlooked, outside of being arguably the second real life bad ass in wrestling behind Haku, that is. But man, when he was younger, he was 300 pounds, had a great body, and had cat like quickness. Don't forget his devastating flying headbutt off the top turnbuckle, either!
MeRRY CHRiSTMaS JaMeZ BuD
I really wish he would have revealed about his best dl and squat as well
I have read he squatted 855 lbs and deadlifted 780lbs to 800lbs for reps
@@bonniebrothers5786 Where did u read about it brother? Can u tell me the source? Thank u.
Is BARB the grandfather to JONAH TAKALUA or is that insenstive haha
I don't think I ever remember hearing BArbarian speak. Figures Dusty Rhodes the idiot Tony Khan Booker ran them off with his Scaffold Match Idea? Nobody in their right mind or who knows anything about Wrestling would even think to do that. Anybody who thinks Dusty Rhodes was a good Wrestler or Booker is related to him a fool or both. That Weight Lifting Angle I still remember to this day. Though its interesting the Eye Injury Animal had seems like it was unrelated to that. There has never been a good or decent scaffold match. Especially when you got guys over 300 pounds. I would have never realized he was Sumo Wrestler. Fuji is a character. Though is Tag Champion Partner Toru Tanaka was bigger star Than Rock for Wrestlers. At time I figured he was like Mongolian or something not Samoan or related to Haku or others. Mostly I only knew him as Barbarian mostly in Power of Pain with Warlord. It always bothered me to never have a real conclusion of that angle because of Pillsbury Dough Boi or Virgil hehe. There a reason every company Dusty Rhodes booked for failed along with going bankrupt just like Jimmy Crownette ;).
Comparing Dusty to Tony is extremely disrespectful. Dusty has forgotten more about the wrestling industry then tony will ever even know.
@@deepblue8143 Yeah Tony Deserves better than that ;). Dusty is trash his name origin itself too. Guy never had a clue with his stupid crap. I'm old enough to remember what trash Dustry Rhodes booking was. Sabu got shafted by it too. He is garbage utter trash along with all them.
