HBO Real Sports Feature on Tony Twist

[SCROGY]

Kelly Chase sitting with Twist in the box reminds me of that little toadie in A Christmas Story. The one that followed Scut Farkus around all the time........LOL.

[Loyalty1269]

twist was definetly the most feared fighter in the 90's. that dude punched like he was throwin cinderblocks. he made crap my pants just watchin him

[DatPicksburghGuy]

the reason I loved Twist more than a lot of the other historic fighters is his eyes. when that dude got mad, and you looked into his eyes, you just got genuinely afraid for what he was about to do to someone.

scary motherfucker right there.

[babystinky]

one of the best that is for sure. i wouldn't put him as high as probert, but he was vicious.

[terdburgler99]

tony twist was a beast , not many players wanted to bother droppin gloves with mr. hammer fists!!

[keyrabuns69]

@terdburgler99 because his hammer fists would turn people into hammer cheeks. lol

[Tank35]

Does anyone know if Tony Twist and Tie Domi ever fought on the ice? I dont see any videos of that on youtube.

[pdmad]

@Tank35

Nah, I don't think they ever did.

[Cancerape]

@pdmad was that Domi getting knocked over at the 0.19 mark?

[pdmad]

@Cancerape Not sure but I don't think so. I don't think Domi was that tall.

[gouldenboy99]

Prince George BC Boy Twister! You rock! You and Bob Probert toughest ever!

[CokeMachineGlo]

Long Live Tony Twist.

[Sinnerswing]

Best sports to watch are Football, Hockey and UFC!

[ducci13]

Twist was the man! Only guy to actually crack a certified helmet in a fight! Horrible skater, but he was a beast!

[DetroitKilla313]

@ducci13 dont forget what Kocur did to Brashear.... he broke his helmet and and couldnt eat for a day

[KingCobraOutlaw]

when he said wham bam thank u mam it makes u realize he will beat u like ur his bitch

[belphegor79]

Eric Godard maybe, or Colton Orr.

[LVJ112]

Orr!!!

[TMWTim]

Undisputed....

[U3X6785]

Is there anyone as tough as twist in today's game?

[shagger67]

nope.

[killersccrplayer]

@U3X6785 boogard??

[1973Johnny2bad]

twister is the fucking man !

heavyweight champ of all time

bad motherfucker

[masean2000]

Twist was at my sister and brother in laws bar on broadway Just a real nice guy had a few beers and was great to talk to OH yea he is the tuffist guy to ever lace them up!!!!

[supergwats]

great fighter. he was never 6'2 though, more like a shade under 6'1. not that it matters, he could knock birds out of an oak tree

[scwhockey41]

Hes a beast. GO Blues

[Dulcimerist]

I wish that his hockey career hadn't ended so soon. :(

[manny44]

Probert could score too...just sayin'.

[brntXbsct]

i believe the golden brett gave twist a lot of credit for his success... i find watching twist play hockey more fun than watching anyone else play.

[Axekick11]

I liked watching Twist more than anyone else too. And Hull was giving Twist only his due credit. Twist would not have existed if not for small, fast high scoring players like Hull. Hull could not perform his game if not for the defense(terror) Twist put in their opponents. - Those were great days to be a St. Louisan.

[carusa78]

met tony at his bar recently he was working his ass off and still made time to talk to me great guy miss his presence on the ice

[corymazz]

what city is his bar in... I'd love to check that place out

[xms32]

St. Louis.

[Axekick11]

I use to see Twist in Ballwin and once in Kirkwood, this was back when he was still playing hockey. He is a friendly, charismatic and genuine guy.

[vivavegas2704]

Hey,I know what i do and i know what i do well!!

Fucking Great

[epicstl]

Twist was a beast.

[Chiefnugs]

Twist was the Best Enforcer. Go Blues!

[olivertheshit]

Grimsons like a foot taller than twister! i dont think twist is 6'2 unless grimsons like 7 feet?

[TimDJ84]

Twist is about 6'0 tall.He hangs out around here and is really a down to earth guy.He still works out all of the time and is still a beast.Real nice guy and he owns a few bars and a cigar bar here in St.Louis.He hangs out at them a lot.

[sbkbg]

and he's on Chalk Talk and sometimes on the Blues Postgame Show!

[jamoss11]

He demonstrates why hockey is the greatest sport on the planet. Humble, willing to sacrifice himself for his team...do you find this in any other sport? The answer is no.

[BobbyBars14]

Well said.

[ruthio1]

@jamoss11 Id say rugby there are a few show offs but alot are humble and have banter with there mates but would die on the field for each other well its like that in my team

[TOTHADEATHSON]

He was a maniac

[dadblair]

he did his job well

[olivertheshit]

lol when he says that at 40sec. cool

[dondee213]

search terry o reilly he fought alot like twist

[dondee213]

he did take steroids but thats just an excuse he could of been like 160 lbs and beat the shit outta everyone like it helped but he was still be a great fighter without them he was one of the toughest no doubt about it

[papafrito123]

this guy was crazy when i was about 4 i went to preschool whith his daughter. hes a toatly diffrent guy when hes not playin hockey.

[trent232]

Twist was quite one dimensional fighter. But he was probably one of the bulkiest and strongest hockey players ever.

Fighting a guy with that kind of strength level is difficult. And his right hand punch was extremely powerful.

He gained 30 pounds of muscle in very short time. He was a good fighter prior to that, but the exceptional strength made him the fighter he was.

[olivertheshit]

good call, agreed

[Kreege]

This was shot only 3 weeks before the motor cycle accident that tragically ended his career.

[MrCool63]

I alays laughed my ass off when Twist scored! How embarrassing for the other team...

[ndw24]

I think the closest to the twister we are gunna see is georges laroque. he is a laid back guy. and i think he is the toughest guy in the elauge today

[ch33sybrandon]

twist kicked his ass before

[dondee213]

fuck that..are you serious? theres lots of great fighters laraque isnt really that tough and theres not many tough people in the league today and people close to tiwst would be probert stu grimson and people that were limited to there toughness because of size pj stock for one and many others but if pj stock was the size of twist he would kick his ass

[penstube]

God anyone who would ever fight Twist had to be insane. I doubt we'll ever see a guy like this again. Amazing guts and toughness. And what I love is how laid back he is. All the fighters seem to be.

[kevlarunderwear22]

twist was good , but not as good as brown or the king-probert

[sloyvenheaven]

Twist was better.

[kentmcw]

You're an idiot!

[ufpd1881]

id like to see you tell him that standing toe to toe!

[DAZ9577]

Twist beat Probert IN the '95-'96 season TWICE when probert was with chicago and the next season FOUR time Twice in the same game. Got video to prove it!! Probert WAS GARBAGE!!!

[ahager1]

tony twist is a poor mans bob probert

[MichaelTubes]

i miss watchin twist scrap. everyone feared him. definetly a classy guy and a legendary fighter

[snolen89]

good stuff

[RJ1138]

Great video. A fantastic insight into what drives some of the most beloved and misunderstood players in hockey.

[safetyblitzt]

The Heir to Cement, Bruise Brother, the Hammer. ESPN did most feared back early nineties for all sports, Kocur Represented hockey, Anthony Mason basketball, forget baseball, football. Twist the man, good post

[darthvtec]

"my glory comes from protecting my teamates" "your loyalty is to your hockey club" this man understood the role of enforcer perfectly.

[B2B76]

gotta respect the Twister, roids or not, he was blood & guts!

[njdevils17]

"Wham bam thank you mam!"
