At age 82, Thunderbolt Patterson is going to the WWE Hall of Fame. I hope he's mobile enough to make it in person. Yep, Patterson is 82 years old and still with us.
The Big Cat wasn’t just tall, he took up A LOT of space overall. I met him at a fan event maybe a year before he passed. Sitting down, signing autographs, he was an imposing figure. RIP, Ernie Ladd RIP Ole Anderson RIP Gene Anderson RIP Gordon Solie Thunderbolt Patterson and Jimmy Hart are still with us🙏🏾🙏🏾
Nooo His Promos Weren't that Good! i'm 52 & Wondered Why growing up in Atlanta i Knew of his Name but Never really Knew his Face that's because He was Only oK. Easily knew by Face & Names like Ernie The Cat Ladd & others from that Era like DUSTY RHODES But Thunderbolts his Promos just weren't Complete. He couldn't make Complete statements!!
Yeah Dusty was inspired by him for sure and no disrespect to Thunderbolt but Dusty just took it to a whole other level. Nothing really touches “wined and dined with kings and queens” promo and so many more
His in Ring work sucked. He was completely horrible as a wrestler. Ha e you ever even watched a match he was in?. He was a good promo,he could talk people into the building but was not good in the ring at all. He was very limited and they had to put people in there that could work around him.
I'm so happy for him going into the HOF. Happy he is still with us to experience it. I watched him a lot in MidSouth growing up and most intense feud I saw was with Ernie Ladd who in this video he used to tag with. The heat between them on promos had communities fired up for their matches.
@@jeyrascall2062 Thunderbolt Came in the 70's Not Much National Tv back then for Wrestling More Local. He was Definitely Famous in Atlanta & a Few more Southern cities but he Never Really made it BIG Just kinda 4a few yrs + if what they say is True then the Racism + i think He Tried to Organize so that's gonna get u Banned Especially back then!
Man thunderbolt patterson literally made me cry laughing just saying basic terminology with all of that passion. Like "line em allll up, we'll whoop they uuuuhhhhmmm oooohhh" lol 😂
Wow! It's the American Dream, before the dream. I had not idea. Going to be looking up Thunder Bolt's matches now. Loving his style here. Oh, and loving his Shazam shirt. This dude rules on the 🎤.
@@Savvage.875 crazy never heard of him until his hall of fame announcement.. I really thought that was just dusty … I mean I’m pretty sure dusty was still sorta like that but it’s like La knight and the rock 😂
@@willcee29 oh yeah it’s not unusual for wrestlers to borrow or steal their gimmick I think the reason why people assume dusty is the originator of this type of gimmick is because they didn’t get to see thunderbolt in bigger territories because of the fact that he was a black man racism was very heavy in those days in wrestling
Thunderbolt's go to when he lost his way in promos was I wish I could talk to you like I want to and Ernie Ladd never had to remember a TV announcer's name. Ernie always said Mr. Television Announcer.
NO He Shouldn't! His Promos were WACK!!! There's 10 White Guys that Easily did Promos better than Him! He'll Ernie Ladd did better Promos! Just Never got this Dude. NO Hate but there's a Reason i grew up in Atlanta his Home town & He Was Not Talked about My Generation. Maybe he did kinda get "Whiteballed" from Wrestling in the 80's but the Few appearances he did make & i see them now, WACK!! He Tried tough but that Doesn't Mean you're Great at it!!
Dusty Rhodes learned from the old players like ( thunderbolt Patterson ) in the wrestling game, the old guards of the late 60’s -70’s wrestlers birthed the 80’s, top professional wrestlers
This Dude was oK at Best!! There's a Reason i Huge 80's Late 70's Fan only knew him by name & i grew up in Atlanta but Rarely saw this guy "Thunderbolt"! NOT Hating but even for the 79's & 80's He was just oK. DUSTY Was oN Level!! Not even Close!!
@@Dirrtysouth1 oK & Thunderbolt whose Flow was WACK i Mean WACK &, i Love Old School "Wrastling" but even if Dusty did i'm Sure Thunderbolt stole his Style from Somebody!! Almost Everyone does!
@vegasmitch1472 His flow being a matter of opinion. Sounds pretty decent to me. You can hear the similarities. You're right. Everyone does. Triple H ripped off The Franchise, Shane Douglas' flow.
@@Dirrtysouth1 his Flow was WACK!! That's why Outside of Atlanta &; his Name he's Not that Memorable!! On the other Hand Dusty SOLD Out Arenas Soooo what does that tell u?? 🤔
Dusty DIDN'T & if He did he made it WAAAAY Better than this Thunderbolt Dude!! There's a Reason he didn't See 2 Much Tv time in the 80's in Atlanta where the 2nd Biggest Wrestling Circuit was. He was WACK!!
@@vegasmitch1472 He didn't see TV time because he was black balled by that point for trying to start a wrestling union and for being black. Everybody has acknowledged for years that Dusty borrowed his promo style from T-Bolt, it isn't like it is a huge secret.
@@ryan12177 let's say you're Right That's Fk'd Up BUT Again this Dude's Act was HORRIBLE! if Dusty "Stole" it then he also made it a Lot Better!! i''m a Huge Wrestling Fan of Late 70's-Mid 90's. Again grew up in Atlanta where Thunderbolt was. You'd Hear Abdullah the Butcher & Tony Atlas b4 this guy. ONLY The Older Mention this Dude & that's because he was only of a Few Black Wrestlers at that time. if He Tried to Unionize Props 2 Him but the Little i saw of His Act made me not want 2 watch his Actually Match.
I had the honor of meeting Thunderbolt Patterson in 2011 at a fan fest in Atlanta. A great man, and I am so happy to see him inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame.!
Bill Watts wanted to bring Thunderbolt to Florida in 1974 for heel run that would change into a super face turn. Gary Hart suggested Dusty Rhodes instead and Eddie Graham okayed it. Thus The American Dream came into being.
@@MentLeee Grew Up in Atlanta in the 80's when Wrestling was Taking oFF. New of Thunderbolt by Name But NOT By Face. Maybe Racism played a Small part in it but the Reason i didn't See him in His Own Hometown, Hometown of Wcw/Nwa was because he was WACK!!!
@@MentLeee The ONLY Reason a Few of the Kids My Age Knew this Dude & they were in Atlanta During the 70's was Probably because of his Name & the Fact that there were few Black Wrestlers in the Business. This Guys Promos are Close to Horrible! He's the Black Guy BUT Dusty has More Flava!! Oh yeah EVERYONE i Knew that watched Wrestlers in the 80's DEFINITELY Knew who Dusty Rhodes was. Most that Knew of Thunderbolt was because they had been in Atlanta since at least the early 80's Not because he was a Good Wrestler or Actor! His Acting Skills were Black Exploitation at its Best!!!
Yep. But in the end, Dusty is dead and Patterson is finally getting his recognition for his innovations as a black wrestler. I hope Patterson is mobile enough to accept his induction.
This was before my time, so I'm not familiar with Thunderbolt Patterson or anyone else in these clips (although I've heard plenty about Ole Anderson). I must say, if this is the "best" of Thunderbolt's promos, then he was far less then great in that regard. Of course, promos are just one aspect of pro wrestling and it's about much more then just that. I understand he was over big time in Georgia. I don't know if he's quite HoF material or not, but I'm not really against him going in. The legitimacy of WWE's HoF is kind of iffy anyway. For the most part, it's just a show.
@@blacksuede this Guy SUCKED!!! There's a Reason a Wrestling Fan such as Myself who Grew up in Atlanta. Went to Golds Gym where a Lot of the Wrestlers went 2 in the Late 80's Couldn't Recognize this guy. He wasn't that Good!!! Promos were Kinda Horrible! Again if Dusty Stole it He took it 2 Several Levels above!!
@@blacksuede NO He Really doesn't. There were way More Famous & Better Black Wrestlers in the Late 70's & Early 80's. Erine Ladd, Butch Redd, Sweet Brown Sugar. The Rocks Dad. Thunderbolt was oK. His NAME Was Better that he was.
Thunderbolt was instant box office. Because of promoters not wanting to pay black wrestlers what their draw was worth he’d go where the money was.

he actually outlived Ole Anderson.
I'm glad to see this!!!
I thought he died a few months back.

Thunderbolt Patterson and Jimmy Hart are still with us🙏🏾🙏🏾
Yeah if he kicks you with them big @$$ feet it's over.🤣
Played in the nfl too
T.P. was my uncle's favorite wrestler. He would load 10 kids in the back of his truck and drive an hour to take us to the matches. AWESOME times.
Virgil heard this man, and he became Dusty
They were a tag team too 😂
All I hear is Dusty Rhodes…I think we found his inspiration
Dusty stole from him believe it or not.
@@stephensmelley2939 I believe it
Rick Flair agrees. He said that’s where Dusty Rhodes got his inspiration from.
Thunderbolt was the original. He was in the wrestling game way before Dusty. Dusty did some smooth promos. Also. Dusty sounds like thunderbolt.

I got so full when they announced Thunderbolt in the Hall of Fame. CALL SOMEBOY, TELL SOMEBODY, T BOLT IS A HALL OF FAMER!!
ONLY IF YOU MOVE!!!!
That’s Ernie Ladd line 😂
Congratulations to TBolt Patterson on the WWE HOF. Also Jimmy Hart I’m convinced is a time traveler. The man looks the same 😂
This is my daughters great grandad
What a blessing
Bless you bro
You can definitely tell Thunderbolt inspired Dusty
Yeah Dusty was inspired by him for sure and no disrespect to Thunderbolt but Dusty just took it to a whole other level. Nothing really touches “wined and dined with kings and queens” promo and so many more
@@TWilbur34 Nah, he was just white doing a black man’s act. When whites do this it just makes them more popular. Elvis, vanilla ice etc..
Yes you can
Ehhh maybe a little , but is no where near Dusty’s level. If you listen all his promos are basically the same….
A Little but Dust Took it 2 another Level & 4a White Dude that's kinda Amazing
This dude inspired so many wrestlers with his promos and in ring work very underrated
His in Ring work sucked. He was completely horrible as a wrestler. Ha e you ever even watched a match he was in?. He was a good promo,he could talk people into the building but was not good in the ring at all. He was very limited and they had to put people in there that could work around him.

I'll admit, I do like the running bit of him getting so upset he wants to cuss but taking a breath and saying, "but I can't say what I want to"
Which was genius of him because it meant that if you knew what he was saying, that you could really feel him and relate. Man was special on the stick.
Just heard about this guy today on his WWE Hall of Fame announcement he sounds like a real cool dude Congrats to him on his induction.
Dusty Rhodes literally copied this man
Yes he did
Copied nothing - he flat out robbed him.
Stole from him
Agreed.
What about inspired?
actually surprised to hear WWE admit Dusty Rhodes bit his style
Oh it's so obvious!
I'll whup yo ..... ooooh lord have mercy. Can't talk like i want to. I'm. full.
😂😂
HOF and well deserved. Makes this old man happy.
Damn he stole that man's style
If there was no Thunderbolt, there would be no Dusty. No disrespect to Dusty. Thunderbolt in the HOF is a long time coming

His delivery is smooth as silk and so charismatic. He should be studied by wrestlers learning how to do promos.

My left ear is really enjoying this one promo
