Mr. Fuji calls Bob Backlund a Honkey

[ar4216]

Fujisan was the greatest!

[tke992]

Somebody calls a white person cracker, honkey, etc and 9 times out of 10 they don't care. Now god forbid someone other then a black person calls the other a nigger and they are all to pieces.....WHY? the answer is, blacks prove the stereotype they carry with them

[wtfcowbbq]

fuck honkies pink tiny dick

[HemmHon]

It just occured to me that McMahon is dressed like Howard Cosell of ABC Monday Night Football of that time period.

[2012Steelerfan]

@HemmHon - Yeah. He did his best to sound like him as well.

[XOtericate]

At least Mr. Fuji didn't call Backlund a "jive turkey"!

[sjl62]

"Me the sensei, he flunk course, because I am superior than all this honky!"

[vanillacoker1]

The five people that dislike this are Itchy Bums!

[jeffkohut]

35 years later Vince McMahon combs his hair the same way!

[Batistamaniac1]

Mr.Fuji is an underated hall of famer...he doesnt get enuff credit...in my opinion...he didnt get enuff back then either.

[therealdocwhip]

@box 5; LOL and how true. He also appears to mimic the demeanor of Frank Gifford of MNF fame as well. And the yellow jacket-- give Vince props for copying the pro's.

[melvin1123]

fuckin hunky lol lopl lol lol lol 

[Piledriver86]

Man, I miss Mr Fuji...

[hyperlexic2]

lol

[BOX5]

Vince look like he robbed howard cosell of his monday night football jacket yell

[TheBigBadWoIf]

backlund wasnt champ at this point. vinnie mac [asshole] says superstar is champ at 0:37

[gymdog45]

Five Honkies are gonna get Kamikaze'd.

[josephD32]

If I recall correctly, they would occasionally hold NWA World title matches at MSG that didn't also involve the WWWF Champion.

[ccie12933]

@josephD32 Race beat Tony Garea via pin and Dusty Rhodes via ref's stoppage at MSG.

[MetalElf]

Meesah Fuji, gonna get Junior Barnes.... you... HONKEY!

[TheLeroyMoon]

As a kid, I never once imagined that the clean cut guy in the yellow jacket was such a freak.

Odd, but Backlund's manner and speech in interviews over the last 20 years seems like they could have been modelled on Blassie's delivery here.

[RAV52]

Hahahaha... Fuji trolling for cheap heat with the "honkey" comments...LOL The Devious One's character is my favorite "Evil Foreigner" gimmick ever!! Throw salt in your eyes, BIATCH... BANZAAAAAIIII!!!!

[rb62470]

WAIT! HOLD THE PRESSES! Vince starts off by talking about Dusty Rhodes returning to MSG, and this is from around '77. Alright, smarks and marks, can one of you tell me about that? I know Rhodes was on a "NWA vs.WWF" card held in Georgia in '82, but beyond that I never knew he did anything WWF-related pre-1989.

[CVTom]

@rb62470 back in the territory days, it wasn't uncommon for promoters to work together on "supercard". Most of the time, it was the WWWF and the NWA doing this, with title vs title matches. I even remember from the Dusty Rhodes DVD they showed a match at MSG between Rhodes and Harley Race for the NWA title.

[rb62470]

@CVTom Awesome, CVTom. Thanks a lot - I really appreciate it.

[BottomlessJackDaniel]

@rb62470

Dusty had a very famous feud with Superstar Graham in the WWWF back then, and would be brought in from time to time otherwise by Vince Sr., Dusty made visits to the WWWF off and on in the late 70's... Vince Jr. drooled over his character back then.

[rb62470]

@BottomlessJackDaniel Wow, BJD, that's something I bet a lot of folks besides me never knew. When I watched the WWF ('85-'87) they pretended the rest of the wrestling world didn't exist. It's fascinating to me to find out about all the cross-promotion and "visiting" that was going on before that. Thanks a lot for the info.

[RayNDeere]

@BottomlessJackDaniel The WWWF and NWA had a working agreement from 1971 to 1983 when Vince Jr. made the push to take the WWF national. There were a number of matches pitting the WW(W)F champ against the NWA champ in the late 1970s, usually ending in double-countouts or double-DQs so neither champ had to put over the other.

[danteras23]

Mr. Fuji > Mr. Miyagi

[ecmulder]

Vinnie Mac's hair looks like its ready to eat someone alive, Mr. Fuji delivering a good promo as always

[roylee13]

Who is this announcer? He is fantastic!

[thrustiswaspinator]

@roylee13 lol

[Fanik8]

that's a face of a man who would put pee pee in your coke!

[EldestSauce]

it took me 15 seconds to realize that is vince mcmahon

[SPS148669]

What is worse? "Gaijin" or "honkey"

[cbaldwinjr]

Mr. Fuji FTW! I'm better than those honkies too Fuji!

[Goukimessatsu2]

LOL he called him a "honkey". It sounded hilarious coming from him.

[MrManfly]

@Goukimessatsu2 just saw a video here of Roddy Piper calling Bruno Sammartino a "Wap", and a 50's video of Freddie Blassie calling a Japanese wrestler a "Jap", and an old Stampede Wrestling interview of Ripper Collins calling a terrific Carribean wrestler of a dark complexion by the name of Eddie Morrow a "Monkey" you could NEVER say things like that in wrestling today, no chance!!

[Robster543210]

Good lod days, you could say things without liberal morons being offended.

[KennethKaniffFromCT]

Vince did a good job as selling this stuff as real back then. Talking about Backlund studying the film on Fuji and stuff like that.

[dQbell]

@KennethKaniffFromCT I always liked Vince in this role. He did a great job of giving wrestling a more serious undertone. It's funny how he himself has changed that now.

[oldschool6804]

@KennethKaniffFromCT Contrary to you opinion it was real, and still many things they do to each other hurt very badly!

[fredblassie]

It needs to be said.... Vince McMahon, pre-expansion, was a great announcer. Articulate, terrific straight man, good voice.... he was our Cosell. I'm on my third cognac btw. Six pancakes seemed like a good idea half hour ago, but now I feel like I'm about to give birth through my rectum. Holy shit, no typos!

[dQbell]

@fredblassie He was great with commentary.

[JoeyPencils]

@fredblassie 1 of the best comments I've ever read on you tube

[slimmsayton]

@fredblassie Sure he was all the things you said he was. But have you ever heard him call a match? He didn't know the names of any moves. He was too much of a face mark. And who can forget, "One, two, three. He got him! No, only a two count." Just because he had a nice voice doesn't make him any good at this particular broadcasting job. And I haven't had nearly as much to drink as you. Except now I want pancakes.

[Inediblehulk]

Fuji still gives me nightmares. And I'm almost thirty.

[VolumedMusicMan]

Big damn deal harley race during his tour of flordia as NWA champ called dusty rhodes a honky. Backlund's more white than Virgil Runnels go figure.

[elc1960]

From 1977, I believe. Yup, he called Backlund a honky. Would've been funny to see Backlund and Fuji playing "The Dozens". To hear Backlund say something like "Ya wanna play "The Dozens"?/Well the "Dozens" is a game/But the way I fuck your Mama/Is a Goddamn shame!" What a pair. Fuji needed subtitles and Backlund couldn't read.

[joeymcnew37209]

lol

[tomg5150]

Classic Mr.Fuji

[ZingsVideos]

Political correctness sucks.

[JeffTheFutureJaros]

LMAO

[magnetic77]

lol...holy shit!!

[slimmsayton]

'Honkey'. Is that Mr. Fuji or George Jefferson.

[xpander2k]

@slimmsayton :  Yeah really.

[jobber25v]

lol vince hair and coat

[GlorifiedTruth]

I'm not a fan of the word "honky," but if anyone was ever a honky, it was Bob Backlund.

[dplunkett1177]

Only thing better if he would've added "Jive ass" before Honkey.

[cantfademel]

It's probably 1977. Graham held the title from April 1977 to February 1978, so there is also a slight chance it could be 1978

[thejazzenigma]

It has also has to be during a period he was a tag champ too. cause he has on a tag team title belt.

[edvhou812]

The Rock's grandpa was mentioned in this clip. That is how far back this goes.

[NYCman530]

I guess Mr Fuji watched The Jeffersons back then, lol

[buckmartinez]

I am superior to all this honky!

[jerzeyrunnerflash]

LMFAO Long live Mr. Fuji! and to all those people who took this funny little video and turned it into an argument or racial discussion lighten up and/or shut the fuck up and take your bullshit elsewhere.

[vancewaylon]

oh misssta fuuggee, very evil indeed. But hey Blassie's no better calling Mil Mascaras a wetback. But Blassie is also the one who dropped the last half of his last name due to discrimination, so go figure.

[rb62470]

@vancewaylon Read Blassie's biography by Keith Elliot Greenberg: Blassie's real surname was "Blassie". He was a Catholic American of Austrian ancestry, though he idenitified himself as German-American. His grandparents, who had raised him, suffered discrimation for their Germanic heritage during WWII. Greenberg writes in the forward of the book that Blassie implored him to be sure to dispell the rumors about his surname having been "Blassman". A guy name "Greenberg" wouldn't lie about that.

[1060893]

I am a white guy and I find the word Honky a laugh riot.

[megaman2160]

[megaman2160]

Lick the shit out my crack bitch and drop dead

[Lfdjake91]

Wow, it took you 10 minutes to come up with THAT for a response? Man, You really are a retard huh.

[40colby]

McMahon deserves an Emmy for keeping a straight face through all those interviews!

[MrVLocC]

[angelinaramon]

That was funny.

[mfbinc]

back in the day, nobody thought twice when race was brought into wrestling...we just accepted it..the good ole' days!

[Srd1126]

it is the good old days--this country is too hung up on race these days. Get over it people.

[gvader]

Ya gotta love Fuji's accent! He's cool!
