Ken Patera's Feats of Strength - Part 1 of 2

[shutemdwn]

Oh, thank god. I misunderstood what they were going to do with those things. I thought they were going to do something gay with them. I mean, they are dressed like they're on parade at a gay pride festival. Am I wrong?

[SolidMike84]

@shutemdwn

Funny, I've seen the same kinda outfits in MMA and amateur wrestling

[allshallbelosttoyou]

i think...tony atlas might have been a slave that got sucked into some random portal in time...cause i'm black and everytime he talks i feel like the whole race is being set back. get his ass a book.

[tyeson85]

does anybody know what the white guy said at 2:02???? i thought he said "im not gonna show NOBODY" but then when you really listen and watch his mouth it dont look like that is wat hes sayn

[tyeson85]

those side burns were epic those are KILLER AWESOME side burns

[TNA52383]

butt weet on steriods

[Wolfschloss]

at 0:44 does he say "i got still Balls"?? because after that, the two moderators take a look at his balls...... i guess the dont believe him.

[chrischar1969]

@Wolfschloss steal bolts



[bikerty67]

tony reminds me of webster

[darkknite369]

Tony Atlas = Bill Cosby on steroids.

[marcos4311]

no one can beat a black guy except another black guy it's just impossible.

[InsertName125]

HAPPY FESTIVUS!

[withoutreasonorrhyme]

2:35 Tony reminds me of a super buff Bill Cosby....

[mccaffreyshawn]

i hate white people who brag like that. He's a fucking retard.

[eatmytool1]

@mccaffreyshawn yeah? me too... Also, I hate when black people get ridiculously loud and chimp out... it's so fucking retarded!!

[mccaffreyshawn]

haha yeah 

[mccaffreyshawn]

haha yeah they both are dumbasses

[OaktownABQ]

Sounds to me like Tony Atlas watched a few Amos & Andy reruns to prep for this promo. He sounds like Kingfish.

[MrLittleMunchkin]

Youtube Suggested: Brazilian Buttlift

I'll watch that after part 2 of this.

[loki04sw]

THE FUCKING SLAVE NIGGA IS STRONGER THAN THE WHITE BOY!

[HelloIAmAPotato]

@loki04sw It's scripted. Try looking up who that white boy actually is.

[youngman098]

THERE IT IS TONY ATLAS CAN YOU! do the same...

[CAEStudios]

im related to this guy!!!!!

[lakecumberland]

Now who could not like this video, hilarious!

[bama13rolltide]

i think the black guy is a queer

[fatguyinlittlecoat86]

@bama13rolltide I think the black guy is a token and a pandering jack-ass.

[GlorifiedTruth]

Patera was every bit as strong on the mic as he was in person!

[zuneloader]

@GlorifiedTruth Bullshit. He sucked on the mic. The worst ever.

[GlorifiedTruth]

@zuneloader - LOL. Yes, I was being ironic.

[zuneloader]

@GlorifiedTruth LOL my bad. I'm usually really good at being able to tell.

[GlorifiedTruth]

@zuneloader - No worries! You were just blinded by your disgust for the awfulness that is Ken Patera.

[D2Kprime]

@zuneloader : Most definitely. Ever watch the "Ken Patera Murders a Promo" video? Hilarious. Mene Gene couldn't stop laughing through the whole thing.

[zuneloader]

@D2Kprime Yeah I've seen it. It is painfully funny.

[cowbelltg]

Ha Ha Ha Tony Atlas looks and sounds like Buck Wheat.lol

[marex101]

@cowbelltg

Once, twice, twee times a westwer.

[jfleming23]

death of a promo!..thanks once again ken....

[mickser101]

Patera murders another promo

[Inflicter]

3:29 = Hahaaaa!

Somebody's GOTTA make of video of that dance on loop to some silly music.

[iNNeViTable1]

LMFAO

What a classic!

[MoDans]

Tony Atlas, the black Superman.

[OaktownABQ]

No doubt, this is the best Patera promo I've ever seen.

[sissymarylen15741a]

Is that andrew dice clay?

[rkevo55]

@sissymarylen15741a I thought it was Stephen Hyde from Point Place.

[luvtoeatit2000]

WOW! Tony Atlas is such an uneducated BAMA!!

[treetoptop]

That hot water bottle didn't pop, he let it go and it flew away, lol. Those things explode with a bang!

[arrafatter]

if this was the 90s bill kazmier would be strongest

cool vid BTW

[treetoptop]

@arrafatter am a huge fan of Kaz, but they were both stronger in certain lifts. Kaz would not have been able to olympic lift as much as Ken, Ken would have have been able to powerlift as much as Kaz. Ken was the first American to clean and jerk over 500 pounds.

[denzelsnipes69]

I'd be afraid to let that bottle pop in my face like that.

[zuneloader]

@denzelsnipes69 that's what I was thinking.

[gregory47able]

tony kinda cooning it up a little

[SuperOlds88]

looks like Tony is wearing Depends, lol

[snowpanth]

"im like coca cola in everywhere"

good lord could Patera give an interview

[busybj]

Wow, I absolutely remember this!!! What a memory of my youth, thanks to whoever posted this!!!

[jamesellis02]

tell dat lady who keeps shouting to shut the fuck up!!

[ThorMaxx]

lol... the nail in the board is nothing.... now smashing the board with your fist is somethign else! :)

[TheOriginalFayari]

Dude, I'm telling you, old ladies can smash a board with their fists. Now, smashing the nail without breaking the board. That's something else.

[ThorMaxx]

The wood was probably pine anyway... Not THAT impressive... All other feats were much more impressive than the Nail in the board.

[TheOriginalFayari]

@ThorMaxx No, I mean, literally SMASHING THE NAIL. As in destroying the nail, bending it, crushing it. Without damaging the piece of wood used to smash the nail with. I would love to see that.

[CapAnson1973]

lol Patera was one of the strongest men in the world.. certainly stronger than Atlas.

[Thudothwacker]

Tony looks and speak like Will Smith

[zuneloader]

@Thudothwacker Non of this statement is true.

[CoolShadesBro]

lol this shit is goofy as fuck

[Silks]

Tony can barely fucking speak English lol

[aviatorzero89]

What the.......?

[highnrising]

Atlas seems to be playing the happy-go-lucky uncle Tom.

[Bloodsport1]

@highnrising you should see him now LOL HA HA HA HA HA

[highnrising]

@Bloodsport1

What's he doing now?

[Bloodsport1]

Tune in to ECW on the scy fi channel Tues night and listen to the way he laugh and dance

[TheLayneMeyer]

@highnrising No, Tony was a good hearted guy and a crowd favorite but he was ignorant.

[Lfdjake91]

God, Tony Atlas was horrible on the mic. He was a very charismatic & likeable guy but when he opened his mouth he sure sounded like a big, dumb hick.

[lakecumberland]

Tube socks, I hated them even back in the 70's.

[datdamnleroygreene]

Damn Tony Atlas needed a manager. Mic skills are horrible.

[nenzi671]

Tony Atlas. Dumb as a stump. He can lift a ton but he can't spell it. He is stronger than Patera though. Ken can hardly complete a sentence himself. Atlas is the stronger but dumber of the two. Duh!

[TraceurMaaz]

I wish I could have witnessed the 70's...

[misterwookas]

that background brings back so many memories....this is the same place where they used to shoot Southern Sportsman with Franc White at WRAL in raliegh, north carolina

[ronvonhesse]

aughhhhhhhh muscle queer action... aughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[egwrickryder]

Tony Atlas was so jive!!!!LMAO!

[pekernek]

Nice dance, Tony!

[elijah5674]

Patera was so terrible in his promos, but he was a STRONG dude, like Tony

[giantkiller56]

1:48: "Gonna put all that stuff over there for the time being..."

This promo was so horrible, it's great.

[Cheedillow]

LOLz at the little victory dance at the end.

[cocoabononohead]

Patera needs to work on his delivery with the promos.

[CallumJStewart]

Ken Patera on the stick. Tragically hilarious.

[2strong2cool]

lol

[armacats]

3:23, anyone else hear ric flairs name?

[zuneloader]

@armacats yep. Great catch.

[plutonium93437]

HA! HA! This is great. If wrestling was still like this, I'd actually watch it.

[OaktownABQ]

@plutonium93437 Me too!

[EGarrett01]

This is really interesting, actually.

[kommandok]

Lol!

I love Patera..what a tool!

[unlockthepower]

I guess they didnt know about HCG then huh? No cock and balls there...unless they are using some wrestler's tuck between the legs technique LOL

[reh629]

why was tony atlas allowed to talk? HELL why was patera allowed to speak?

[badamj2000]

Those Side-burns are so last century

[skirts365]

@badamj2000 They were called "mutton chop" sideburns I saw them on father of an interstate kidnapper maybe that's why he was an outlaw. But at his peak Patera, had he been trained in USSR, would have been within an ounce of Alexeev's clean and jerk world records.

[badamj2000]

@skirts365 Thanks for that mate. The 70s were so 70s:)

[nitramletnan]

@badamj2000 Don't worry. They will come back.

[spade121981]

Tony Atlas was a failed bodybuilder because he has NO legs whatsoever.

[joefury23]

well, that's nothin new, most wrestlers don't have legs... they usually have a huge upper body with chicken legs.

[spade121981]

Yeah..that's true.The rocks legs werent too bad. I once saw Lex luger working out in a gym doing dumbell curls.He had a good upper body and his thighs werent too bad but his calves non-existant. They exaggerat their weights too.I saw brett hart,owen and davey boy smith at bjs gym in Calgary years ago and owen and brett were not even close to being 200lbs or 230lbs as they were billed at for wrestling.Davey boy had some size though and was probably around 240 lbs

[rkapeadu]

i know i thought as much wen ur on tv u cant tell the difference its impossible 2 keep at the same all year round

[latinoish37]

Actually there was a time when Atlas' legs were so huge the dude couldn't even walk properly. My uncle showed me old mags of when he really competed, and some tapes, man couldn't walk so they stopped working the legs. Graham had the same trouble.That's why he switched to pants; legs get real wimpy looking when you stop working them out.

[zuneloader]

@spade121981 He won awards and stuff for bodybuilding. Failed how?

[jbranham23]

LOL

[hlewis420]

amen... and an idiotic drunken thug at age 60+... check out his shoot interview... Patera is a loser

[spade121981]

I highly doubt he's a loser.he won several gold medals and was the first person on the planet to olympic press 500lbs.Sounds like your jealous.He was the first guy to bodyslam Andre the Giant too...not Hulk Hogan like most people think.He was incredibly strong.

[depper]

Look up the Petera shoot interview. VERY VERY sad :(

"Ken Patera 11"

[FfullF]

silly nukka!

[ThePlumber702]

atlas was genuinely suprised that he popped the water bottle

[Arcticclaws]

This has to be the stupidest, fakest test of strength I have ever seen.

First time I saw this video, I thought it was a joke lol!

[vazqjose]

LOL @ tony's victory dance

[destronia123]

Both those guys ended up as pure jobbers in the WWF.

[BabyFace316]

Patera was a former IC champion and Atlas was a former tag champ with Rocky Johnson.

[destronia123]

I know, but that doesn't change the fact they both ended up as WWF jobbers.

[landrykkb]

@destronia123 I believe because they both got punished for their respective drug and alcohol issues.

[DVolk94]

that little dance he does at 3:30 is hilarious

[seanc1906]

Tony Atlas should be ashamed of himself for cooning like that.

[mixali]

ah man this was great! this is pro wrestling! what a non-sexual, non-swearing, genuine show of strength segment, i liked this a lot! an not one racist remark all segment!

[dve8692]

one of Ken's favorite things to do was to put his back against a wall and his feet on the bumper of a car and have someone put the car in drive and let the cars tires spin while pushing against it with his legs, tremendously strong man.

[Maideneer]

He turned his gang of henchmen on me...his goon squad.

[sonofsarek]

A Hot Water Bottle!  LOLOLOL. haven't seen one of those in YEARS.

[GoFuckAHorseCunt]

"Ima try dis"

[IcyB]

Is Tony Atlas portraying a slave gimmick?

[baliw33]

DJ Bruce Jefferson and Michael Jackson use to rule Mid-Atlantic Wrestling as a tag team ask Rick Steamboat and Jay Youngblood.

[jubbly1969]

He should have been in roots!

[vazqjose]

tony's celebration dance @ 3:29 LOL

[misterio2K]

LMAO! My God! I had no idea how Tony Atlas talk s-o-o-o-oo-o-o-o-o-o country.

[skinwalkerxxx]

I wonder who came up with the idea to turn a decorated strong man like Pathera into a heel? Shouldn't people suppose to admire him?

[AlbanianMan]

Because he was a loose cannon that fit the heel role perfectly. Patera always seemed awkward as a babyface. He was much more suited to be a heel. A perfect example of his real life loose cannon persona would be the McDonalds incident in which he tossed a 30 pound boulder through a McDonalds window after being refused service. He then beat the shit out of several cops as they tried to arrest him. He spent 2 years in prison. Thats why he was the perfect heel, cuz he was also one in real life

[jubbly1969]

Kurt Angle never really worked as a face either! Jocks are wankers

[donp244]

when i was a kid i never noticed patera talked so feminin

[chessarama]

"I'm like Coca-Cola, I'm everywhere."

[mkl62]

I remember this. I never saw Patera in person, but I saw Atlas twice; June 1978 against Cyclone Negro in Columbia, SC, then in November 1992 as a heel against Brad Armstrong in Greenwood.

[Fruth37]

Patera was a good shit talker when he wasn't stammering or drunk.

[JohnFromSpace]

This is more entertaining then what the WWF/E puts out today

[diamondman420]

Wookin pa nub, in aww da pong daces! I think Eddie Murphy based his SNL version of Buckwheat on Tony.

[MrMojoRisin71LA]

lol at atlas's gay dance

[azreael01]

Is Atlas for real?

[bonscott55]

love ken's sideburns !!!

[UKwrestlingfan]

Somebody's been watching Fist Of Fury! (The Chinese Connection, for the Americans).

[veeseee128]

eatem up toney!

he goeng try it!

[Bizarro23]

His voice reminds me of Dustin Hoffman's.

[Ari313NZ]

atlas sounds like buckwheat!

[TheDotComKid]

i think they are related!!!!

[Bloodsport1]

why the hell Tony is talking like that? Its 1980s not the 1880's man.

[Drumshanbohustle]

Another very believable heel that the WWF sort of forgot as the 80s went on. Too bad.

[1ToNJaB]

haha! cool.
