Rest in Peace "Bad Bones" John Klinger, German Wrestling legend that had Legendary Matches with Gunter, Dragunov and Alexander Wolfe!
Shame on all US and UK Wrestling Media for ignoring this European Legends Death!
Love It ChrisVanVliet Bro.
I had NO IDEA Ivar has this much personality and charisma! He seems like such a solid "good brother," and like he's just a fun guy to be around! Mr. Chris Van Vliet, you never fail to amaze me with how well you're able to get people to open up to you!
Interview Valhalla next and ask her about giving Michael Cole the antlers
We want this!!
Not from cvv but it is what you asked for: czcams.com/video/YVNn8UNB2T4/video.htmlsi=jcmHmd03d9Hi5bu9
@@jessiemorris84we NEED this!!
@@jessiemorris84 No, we need this
“Anterless”
Ivar is really underrated and very athletic for man of his size. He could be big singles star if even the opportunity.
He’s easily one of my favorites to watch. Astonished at how Ivar moves
Wish him a speedy recovery!!!
Originally wasn't a fan of Ivar, but he won me over with his singles run. Wish they gave him more character development though.
Literally his singles run is the only thing I havnt watched lol his singles run in roh before Rowe was great
@@collinjay7108He's been consistently putting on absolute bangers as a singles guy in the IC title picture since Ray Rowe got injured. He barely wins, unfortunately.
@@Kancerru I never said he wasn’t but for one compared to the performances, he was doing on the Indies. It’s nothing and on top of that. All I’m saying is if you only know his singles run and WWE and don’t know any of his other stuff then you shouldn’t have an opinion you just said zero relevant to my comment
@@collinjay7108 Jesus, dude. I was just catching you up since you said you hadn't watched his current run.
Also, I've been following the guy since 2014/15. Having watched Hansen in ROH doesn't make you special lol.
I love Ivar man. Hope he has a speedy recovery and gets back to moonsaulting people again soon.
Love this guy! Gutted he's injured right now I hope it's not career ending
Remember when I first saw Warmachine in ROH. The athleticism they had was insane and been a fan ever since. Happy to see them all succeeding and doing so well for themselves.
Ivar so big the top of his head goes through the. camera loll amazing interview Chris
When WWE pulled me back in last Summer, I immediately liked Ivar. I hope he has a full recovery and can come back better than ever.
The way Ivar moves around the ring reminds me of Bam Bam Bigelow. It amazes me that a big man can move around like that.
That Kofi story at WM35 🥲
Ivar really deserves a push. He is amazing!
I watched him on the new england indie scene for several years. Super talented.
Massive fan of Ivar the character and now the man
He is so different than the character he portrays... love these short interview they are perfect
After mania 39, and seeing what he was capable of I became a fan of the guy, I hope only the best
This is an interview I didn’t expect at all, but man I’m real high on Ivar lately, I love Rowe and their tag team I wish so much better for BUT man Ivar could be such a great US and or IC title runs in a Viking gimmick done right carefully
Ivar needs ONE good feud and he’ll be a bigger legend than he already is
I’ve always appreciated what he does in the ring but never saw much in term of promos till recently in nxt. This is instantly one of my favourite interviews, What an awesome dude!
Sarah Logan interview would be nice.
Met Erik and Ivar at the superstar brunch in Philly, very humble down to earth guys, and have been awesome to my kiddo the couple of times we’ve met them prior! Hope they both recover successfully!
Ivar's match with Kofi was amazing, I'm glad that's what triggered them into giving him a singles run because he's been really good. Sucks he's now injured, but I hope he still gets that push when he returns.
What an absolute pleasure that interview was he is such a nice man, And I hope Ray gets back and they win the championship, it’s funny I didn’t know what ring of honor was. I have heard of it but I had new Japan and I remember seeing these guys and I just was like over the heels excited when they would wrestle and when they got signed to NXT, I remember telling my mom those are the guys from new Japan that we watch and she’s like I knew they look familiar, but really nice guy. I’m glad getting a chance to shine. Hope he gets well soon.
What a great interview! Ivar is so down to earth and humble. Cannot wait for him to keep killing it til Erik gets back. Great work as always CVV!
Another Great Podcast Interview Chris💯👍
This was great Chris. Really great interview ivar is a solid dude
I love this dude as a wrestler
Dude n needs to be highlighted more, love watching his matches
I hope his career is not over! His single run is awesome!
Back injurys sucks... I wish him a quick recovery!🪓🛡🖤
Yes, his newest nxt run was headed for great things. Even if he can't come back in ring, we need him around as a manager or something
Love this interview. The Viking Raiders are incredible.
Just learned that Ivar hails from my hometown as well, Lynn, MA.
Ivar is the best man ! 👏🏽 so genuine and chill.. best CVV convo in a while ❤️🤘🏽
I wish Ivar a speedy recovery! Such a genuine & nice guy.
This is such a great interview. I been wanting to know a bit more about them as i already know about it in their time in ROH & NPJW. So is nice to have a glimpse.
It makes so much sense as to why he uses the Wheel Kick now!
Just went back and watched Takeover: Phoenix to re-watch that tag title match. Forgot how great NXT was back then, and that match was non-stop too. Excellent interview!
Ivar sounds like a voice perfect for an audio book he is chilled and laided back
His singles run made me a fan hope he ahas a speedy recovery
Great interview, CVV!
One thing that I do miss is the War chants. I liked the War Raider gimmick. I'm not sure if it would still suit them now to go back to that name, theme, and chant, but I would like to see it come back.
Some of the matches he has had in the last few months.... absolutely fantastic.
What a great talker. So much charisma oozing from one large man!
I love his matches with Bronson Reed
Ivar's awesome, man. He's a well spoken dude and had some recent opportunities to cut some great promos. Not to mention a beast in the ring.
What a great guy.
Really underrated talent it everything happen for a reason with Erik out Ivar was able to show his talent in the single division hoping for a speedy recovery ivar 🙌🏾
The Doomsault is one of the things that got me back into WWE
I love Ivar. He's one of the best wrestlers in WWE and his moonsault was so smooth for his size that's incredible. I hope he has a speedy recovery and comes back faster and stronger 💪💪 than before
Awesome interview, never really heard him talk before
Next up Chris -
Erik
Sarah / Valhalla
Chris does not miss! This has to be my favorite interview so far
Beautiful voice and a genuine friend.
That match between the two in the top prospect tournament was very good!
Dude is chilled af'
I really hope the raiders reach their full potential on main... They're so freakin talented. I remember watching them in ROH thinking "who are these guys?!?!?!" They jumped off the screen immediately!
Wish this interview was longer
Ivar is such a great interview.
Great interview! He seems like a really cool dude! He has the potential to be a massive baby face!
Always wanted Ivar to have a singles run he’s a beast
I feel like "The Viking Raiders" have a lot of potential. With Erik being out of action for who knows how long, I feel like they need to give Ivar a new partner, and let them become the dominate tag team that they can be.
There's soooo much personality behind that big, burly Silhouette, glad Haitch is having these guys do more, Vince would never, just look at how he kept Brodie/Luke so limited
He’s so underrated
I remember meeting Erik & Ivar. Killer guys. Interesting is that (as far as I know) I was second row for their NXT debut at a live event where I live. It’s a “C Town” at that, so it was crazy to think that happened here.
One of the most underrated wrestlers out there. Consistently puts on bangers, has insane athleticism, and his gimmick works so well for him. Hope he has a speedy recovery!
THIS is why we watch wrestling in 2024, this is The season in WWE where SO MANY TALENTS in the HHH era are getting their flowers and Ivar whose been a hidden gem is getting his season to shine now more than ever.
I really liked his solo run the past few months before his injury.
good stuff!
I pray to all the gods that Erik and Ivar both heal fully and come back.
I got to see Ivar wrestle back in the indies (in none of his old characters), OHH and his father was my high school shop teacher lol
THE IVAR EXPERIENCE ❤
whenever i see the Viking Raiders all i can think of is. Hiii I'm Rory!! And i'm Robby
What a wonderful human!!!
Ivar's awesome! He needs to be pushed to the moon!
Wow... I thought CVV had Ludwig in that blanket ad for a second 🤣
This guy looks like some guy i knew as handsome johnny in 2007 no chance this is that guy , oh wait yup it is , so proud of him always been behind warbeard proud to have him representing the new England area around the world
I remember I called a friend of mine about 6 months ago and asked what he was watching. He said he was watching the Viking Raiders....I said I didn't know there was a football game on......!
Underrated
I really like them. Great personality
Agile big man
Viking!
Love this guy more
Funny that he said some people still call him Handsome. That’s what I think of him as. I used to go to all the Chaotic Wrestling shows back in the day. He’s come a long way from the Methuen Knights of Columbus.
Ivar is my breakout star of the year 💯🏆👏!!!
He is amazing
Crazy how he says Vince found out and didn’t already know who he has doing what
Hes put on a lot of weight since War Machine. Hope he comes back lean and mean
Bro with that voice I’ll be happy if Ivar sold me some car insurance
With Ivar now injured alongside Erik, I'm curious how WWE is going to plan their return. Will Erik come back first and get his own singles run, or will their recovery timelines line up and they return as the Viking Raiders? Either way, can't wait to see them both back.
Lynn,Massachusetts
Ivar is a good man
I remember watching Ivar on the Indies in Rhode Island. I think his name was Erik Hanson or something like that.
Iconic
I don’t think I’ve ever heard him talk before lol
I hope I can meet chris when he comes to Houston
I 100% followed Hanson from 2014 to now. Those top prospect matches in 2014 was awesome. KING HANSON!
Handsome Johnny
I watched the 2014 Ring of honor top prospect tournament Hanson was my pick (aka ivar)
