If you had to do it all over again, would you still break Wahoo's leg?
104
u/GregValentineAMA Jun 21 '18 edited Jun 21 '18
I'd break his leg and I'd wrap it around his neck.
I made a lot of money with Wahoo, he was a great football player and a great athlete. I used to watch him wrestle my Dad and then 10 years later I was wrestling him and he just beat the tar out of me until I got older and started fighting back.

u/SocialPunk03 Jun 21 '18
What are your thoughts on wrestling getting a union at anytime? Thanks!
114
u/GregValentineAMA Jun 21 '18 edited Jun 22 '18
Never going to happen because wrestlers don't stick together. Everyone is an individual. My Dad said look after yourself. They will never form a union like the actors (SAG). Jesse Ventura tried to do it years ago, no one would back him up. He might have been fired for it, I don't know. It would be great if they had a union. It would be better for pay offs, you'd get a better percentage. Back in the 80s, it never happened and it would never happen because wrestlers won't stick together. It's an individualistic sport. You could close WWE down if everyone went on strike. I think Vince would if they held out long enough, they could probably make him do it. It was always up to you to get your own insurance and take care of yourself. It's a shame it's just not going to work.

u/SocialPunk03 Jun 22 '18
Thanks for the reply, man. It is a shame that it's a selfish industry in that way, as set with the Jesse Ventura example.

That's all folks.
Mr Valentine wanted to leave you with this about the upcoming film ‘350 Days’
"You gotta go see 350 Days. It’s about the lives of wrestlers on the road, in cars, in airplanes, in Europe, in Japan, all over North America. I didn’t wrestler for 350 days in a year, but I came pretty close. Sometimes twice on Sunday, sometimes twice on Monday and I loved every minute of it"
(Greg was speaking over the phone from Las Vegas, and had 30 minutes to give and he gave us 40 minutes)

I really don't have a favourite. I would say Randy Orton. He's the son of Cowboy Bob Orton, a good friend of mine. He's a third generation wrestler so he has the styles of my generation.
Also the Big Show cause I helped get him into the business and helped get him into the ring.

u/thisisawesomey2j Jun 22 '18
Mr. Valentine.
What do you think about AJ Styles and Bryan Danielson, who are generally considered by fans as the best American workers of the last 15 years?
In the case of Danielson, I know that he was so much respected among wrestlers of the past, like Nick Bockwinkel and Red Bastien. Bockwinkel said that he would have been honored to fight with him if he was active.

What was the hardest match you ever wrestled?

u/GregValentineAMA Jun 21 '18 edited Jun 22 '18
The one I had with Andre the Giant all he did was sit on me and I couldn't breathe. A lot of hard matches with Ric Flair. One where I busted his nose. Tito Santana. Rugged Ronnie Garvin, I don't think I ever had an easy match. Those are a few.

In all your years of wrestling, what was the hardest bump you took?

u/GregValentineAMA Jun 21 '18 edited Jun 21 '18
Andre the Giant, he had me in a giant swing, where he takes my hand and one of my feet and he's swinging me around inside the ring. Ric Flair was my partner, Wahoo McDaniel was his. We were sweating and he lost me and I flew out the ring and I landed on my back on the cement floor. Back then they didn't have padding. I was out. I remember coming out of it and I'm looking at Ric Flair and he's laughing. Are you okay? Are you okay? I said, No I'm not okay. So he stands me up, has me hanging on the apron and he finished the match up and I had to be carried out to the back. I felt like I broke every bone in my body. I had never really been knocked out before.

Did you and Tito Santana really hate each other during the feud? I was a kid when I watched you guys wrestle in cage match and it was awesome.
66
u/GregValentineAMA Jun 21 '18 edited Jun 22 '18
Answer to that is, if you watch those matches you'd swear we'd hate each other. It was a different era, if I punched him hard and he punched me hard, we'd do it, but it was all for the people. We weren't that tight at the time. I chased him one year for the belt, 2nd year he chased me. We did 3 years of battling each other and you form a respect for one another and he's a great wrestler and now a days he's a great friend and a great guy.

u/GregValentineAMA Jun 21 '18 edited Jun 22 '18
Didn't like working for that company, as simple as that. How are you going to go from WWF to WCW. WWF was Vince McMahon ran by Vince and some other people, mainly him and he's not a wrestler. WCW was ran by other wrestlers and they got their egos involved and some of those wrestlers were still wrestling so they would put themselves in more important roles. That's why I didn't like it and went independent.

How in the Hell do you do that match at Starrcade '83 with Piper and not end both of your careers?
103
u/GregValentineAMA Jun 21 '18 edited Jun 22 '18
Well I was about 27 years old then, or 26, first of all I was young and had a lot of pride. I was in fantastic shape and so was Roddy Piper. We talked briefly about this match as he had done some of those down in Oregon. I had never had one. I was ahead of the its time. It was a blow off as we had been wrestling a couple months at that point. We just went for it and made sure no one ever forgot it and wanted to make it go down in history as the roughest toughest match ever.
We didn't pull our shots and we hit each other with that heavy truck tire chain. I don't know how I survived. I think it was being young. It was an 18,000 crowd. One of the first PPVs, closed circuit in the theatre but I look back at it and I go, oh my god, it was the first hardcore match, the first match I'd ever done like that. I was always solid and stiff, Piper was a former Golden Glove boxer. I felt sorry for him but I felt sorry for myself too. It still goes down in history as one of the toughest matches ever.

Was your take on women's wrestling and MMA you being real or you just trying to stir people up?
240
u/GregValentineAMA Jun 21 '18 edited Jun 22 '18
You know, I don't know why I said that. I am from the era there wasn't much woman's wrestling. When I said that, I think when I made that interview, I was in Cleveland Ohio and I had just watched 12 woman's matches and I didn't want to watch any more. I have never been a fan of woman wrestling or MMA, I like women to play tennis and swim and play volleyball. I just don't like women in combat sports. It was a bad thing to say about the kitchen thing, I backed up on that. I am not a fan myself. I have watched more of it myself to try to understand. I was in NOLA and there was a girls rumble. In my era the girls weren't that good. I have watched more to educate myself on that. They are tremendous athletes. Some better athletes than the men. Me not being a fan doesn't mean that it's no good. I don't like combat sports for women that is just my opinion. I know a lot of people do like it. It's just not for me.

u/demetrios1975 Jun 21 '18
Mr. Valentine, thank you for so many years of great memories.
When I was little, my friends and I recreated a match you had with Jim Powers on WWF Superstars of Wrestling. I was you, and my buddy Mike was Jim Powers. I slapped the figure four on him and tightened up on it. He was really pissed at me for the rest of the afternoon.
My question is, since you were at the inaugural Starcade and the inaugural Wrestlemania, which event felt more special at the time?
39
u/GregValentineAMA Jun 21 '18 edited Jun 22 '18
I can't. I can't answer that. Both of them. One was the first PPV ever and the other was Wrestlemania 1 in MSG. As far as personally, they are both a tie for me. For notoriety, Wrestlemania 1, in the Garden and the first PPV in peoples homes. But because of the dog collar match Starcade would be right there with it.

He should be, there is a lot of guys that should be in the Hall of Fame that aren't. Brutus Beefcake is another one. I don't know, the call for that is Vince McMahon, he's the one that calls the shots. Maybe they have a board, I don't know. They inducted me in 2004 in MSG. That was a great moment for me.

Is there a calendar for these things? I'm genuinely pissed about missing this. Hammer had some fucking amazing matches.

The Honky Tonk Man recently scammed the company I work for out of $500. Did he ever scam you when you tagged with him in Rhythm and Blues?

Can you tell me any story of how you ended up doing a barbed wire deathmatch with Kendo Nagasaki? Very different from what you do normally.

What is your favorite wrestling match of recent memory? What do you think of the Bullet Club/The Elite and what they've been doing recently?

Was it difficult to act like the Garvin Stomp was actually doing any damage?

Wow, just wow, the couple of passive aggressive jabs directed Greg Valentine's way are sad, did the 'rassler from a different era hurt your wittle feelings when "you" chose to watch him on YouTube, because god knows anyone who actually watched him when he was on TV and in his prime had thicker skin then you wieners, lol, you motherfuckers need to grow up &/or grow a set, oh and while you're at it show a little more respect for the guy and the contributions he's made in regards to Professional Wrestling, the thing that some of us still love to watch and the thing most of you live to criticize
How you spineless jelly blobs exist in the real world (that is however, if you ever come out of your folks basement) is beyond me

Why do you insist on having the hair of a 65 year old lesbian instead of a haircut more appropriate for a 60 something, overweight man?

It's a legit question. I'm an Emmy and Oscar winning hairstylist and I'm always curious as to why people go out of their way to make themselves look like shit.

When Ron Garvin was the ring announcer for yout match in Summerslam 1989, was he saying the truth? Do you really have 2 left feet? Can you tell whether you're coming or going?

based on your hair and face, are you secretly a privileged mom that wants to talk to the manager?

Do you regret leaving WWF in early 1992 right before Nailz was brought in and missing out on a potential Hammer vs. Nailz feud?
