Interviews with Koloff, Valentine, Super Destroyer & King

[CadillacL]

Folks this is how a promo's done.

[tornmask]

this Mask wrestling Dude owes me $72.00 for a mask he never send me! x0[

[melbz1266]

DESTROYER, ONE MEAN DUDE.

[samscv1]

I don't mean this to be mean, because I'm sure he's a nice guy or. But David Crockett was a terrible announcer. The worst. I used to laugh at some of the stupid things he used to say. I thought Bob Caudle was good and in fact, very underated and unfairly unoticed when people talk about wrestling announcers. But, I still have to say that Gordon Solie was the greatest ever! But this is still good clip, because it brings back some kool memories. And Don Jardine was the best heel ever. RIP

[VincentOfDreamhouse]

Bloody hell look at that collar on Jardine...! He can jump of a building and go hang gliding with that collar...!

[DeepSouthWrestling1]

God, King wasn't very good!!!

[pajmf]

I like how David Crockett calls him, "Mr. Super Destroyer." Can you imagine a traveling salesman sitting down with his wife in the 1970s? "And if you order the entire Tupperware set today, Mrs. Super Destroyer, I can throw in the bacon cooker for no extra charge."

[gvader]

Tony! We gotta go!!

[BourgeoisBuffoon]

So was Jardine The Spoiler that wrestled in Georgia in the early-to-mid 80's, had a red outfit with black trunks/boots and used a gloved 'claw'?

[OrigLanceR]

@BourgeoisBuffoon

yup, one in the same. Also wrestled in AWA as Super Destroyer

[laggerg]

@OrigLanceR No that wasn't Don Jardine in the AWA, that was Sgt. Slaughter (Bob Remus) who was then the Super Destroyer Mach II.

[onemorebrando]

Super Destroyer: the original Boba Fett.

[elc1960]

The late Don Jardine, otherwise known as The Spoiler in WWWF (1972 and 1973). Sonny King was WWWF tag team champion with Chief Jay Strongbow in the summer of 1972. Sonny was billed from Detroit but was really from Boston (either Chelsea or Roxbury). Valentine didn't wrestle very long after this promo; he was paralyzed in a plane crash in either 1975 or 1976.

[bogglerful]

Johnny Valentine was great, and so is his son, Greg.

[gmta28]

My bad, it was Nikita, not Ivan, who clotheslined Crockett.

[gmta28]

Is that young David Crockett doing the interviewing? He would get clotheslined outta his boots by Ivan Koloff about 10 years later. Valentine should have done it here and saved Koloff the trouble.  What stones on that Crockett, talkin trash to guys 3 times his size!!

[lakecumberland]

That was one big ol' collar on the man!

[krabman63]

I remember when the Super Destroyer feuded with Swede Hanson and I saw every one of their matches at the Scope in Norfolk,Va. No one could get the crowd rowdy any better than this great masked wrestler. I saw them in a cage,in a chain match, lumberjack, street fight and I'll never forget them.

[axeldtf]

did that announcer say "finish off johnny Valentine?" He didnt look too happy

[mfbinc]

anyone remember him on the tv game show Match Game, without his mask on??? i believe it was the late 70's.

[mmangum4444]

man time really flies! it's been 35 years already!

[melbz1266]

@mmangum4444 it hurts to say that,doesnt it.wrestleing will never be this good.

[mmangum4444]

amen to that; it's so true...

[knapper2000]

The Spoiler and the Super Destroyer aka Don Jardine was one of my favorite wrestlers even as a heel.

[mmangum4444]

They were two of my favorite masked wrestlers during that time in the NWA. I also like Mr. Wrestling I and Mr. Wrestling II.

[melbz1266]

super destroyer was one hell of a wrestler.

[mmangum4444]

yeah, he was very good! R.I.P., Don Jardine-Super Destroyer!

[LT1HILLINGHOE]

This is pre 1975 because Johnny was crippled in the plane crash with Ric Flair in 75 if memory serves me correct. The Greg Valentine came around with Ric Flair introducing him on a video with Greg crushing cinderblocks with his bionic elbow drops.

[RedSecondKiller]

Cool suit on Super Destroyer

[T74G]

that suit is killer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1234electro]

es hulk hogannn!!!

[bastrdjohn]

Isn't it weird that David worked this job for so many years, and never got a lick better at it? And it's even weirder that if you watch his more recent interviews in WWE releases he has all the presence in the world.

[Jessman46205]

When he David Crockett gets into a match, he's uncanny.

[rosario508]

Worst promo clip EVER!!!!!

[liquidclown1974]

Man that's a nice fu(king suit.

[jamaridavis5]

DAVID CROCKETT PLEASE STOP!!

i'm glad the madness ended in the 80's!!

DC...THE WORST EVER!!

and he only got worst from 79'- 87'...a reign of terror in the form of bad color commentary, and ill fated verbal blundering!!

[sycbe02]

Don Jardin will always be the orginal Spoiler, and Scott Irwin as the Super Destroyer, and last but not least, Bill Eadie, as the Masked Superstar. Great masked wrestlers........

[fatalvision2]

it was "brother" in the 80s and it sounds like it was "daddy" in the 70s. wonder what is was in the 60s

[BourgeoisBuffoon]

@fatalvision2 Paly?

[laggerg]

As someone who watched wrestling from the late '60s to the present, there have been MANY "Spoilers", "Assassins", and "Super Destroyers". Don't get hung up on names or masks because you saw ONE wrestler use it once before. Until I saw this clip I NEVER knew that Don Jardine was called the Super Destroyer in the Mid-Atlantic area. I always knew him as The Spoiler in the Ga. area. Scott Irwin, to me, was the first Super Destroyer, obviously couldn't be because he did that in the '80s.

[CadillacL]

I feel the same way. To me Al Jardine is & always will be the ONLY Spoiler & Scott "Hog" Irwin will always be Super D #1

[laggerg]

Yes Sir!

[88Rocker]

Thats right, DJ is the 1st SD..check out his site it pretty cool too...remember he 1st came to NWA MCW to astensibly "get even' with "The Avenger" the good masked guy of the day...I was a little kid and I was "amazed" that he could put another wrestler out by putting the "claw" on them..Take care,Danny O'Donnell

[laggerg]

In 1975, Doug Gilbert and Butcher Vachon also put on masks and called themselves Spoiler I and II.

[TitusVentura]

Damn, johnny and greg look more like brothers then father and son, no wonder they tagged as brothers lol

[Timtunacan]

No its not that is not hogan you ediot

[Crunkboy726]

The Super Destroyer Is Really Hulk Hogan 4 real Go to wikipedia and type in hulk hogan u will see

[TitusVentura]

Uh, The super destroyer is Don jardine.

look him up.

Mark 8)

[ricbowenjr]

Wow! Greg Valentine and his dad are so identical!(just that his dad is taller) but they talk, look and sound the same!

[dickdeluxe]

How stiff was DC???? Amazing how nepotism is blind!

[54spiritedwill54]

Wow!! David crockett looks about 15 here.

[laggerg]

In Ga. Championship Wrestling around mid 70s, Don Jardine was known as The Spoiler. He was not known for talk on the mike. The late Gary Hart did most of the interviews. It wasn't until after he broke away from and turned face from Hart's management did I hear him speak for the first time and when he did that the small TV audience were hushed! Because he always had a mysterious,ominous presence in and out of the ring. Later in the 80s he did more of his own interviews.

[SandyKrebs]

This version of David Crockett makes the 80s version look good and that one sucked

[misharyutubbee]

That suit and collar is nothing short of outrageous. I was around back then and wore some things I wouldn't be proud to show off now, but I would have taken notice of a monkey suit like that!

[misharyutubbee]

I always figured Don Jardine could talk, but this is my first time to hear him. I actually can't remember him doing an interview on the station I watched (NWA Championship Wrestling, out of Oklahoma).

[mkl62]

This was Sgt. Slaughter. Don Jardine was The Spoiler and he trained The Undertaker. Super D was later portrayed by Scott "Hog" Irwin. He was a jobber for JCP, but returned in 1981 with The Grappler and later Georgia with The Masked Superstar in the identical masks angle. Koloff was awesome. Sad that Johnny Valentine's career ended with the plane crash. Who knows what storylines lay ahead? It would happen again with Magnum, T.A. Sad.

[ltrott3]

Nope this IS Don Jardine

[laggerg]

Yes this is Don Jardine Sgt.Slaughter(Bob Remus) NEVER was the Spoiler. I remember the the voice when he did speak and I recognized him even with all the different masks he wore and the Spoiler was wrestling long before Sgt.Slaughter was even heard of.

[TitusVentura]

I beleive slaughter wore a mask before though.

[laggerg]

He could have elsewhere. A lot of wrestlers wore masks as well as wrestled under other names. Barry Darsow, Randy Colley are known for that. But this definitely was Don Jardine. He wrestled for a long time for Ga. Championship Wrestling as The Spoiler when I was growing up in Atlanta and once was Ga. champion during the '70s.

[1975tooto]

Irwin was also one of the Yukon Lumberjacks in the WWF before all of these stints!Good comment!

[misterio2K]

Wow!! I never knew Sonny King was once a face. I always remembered him as a major heel in Florida. Sonny King used to give Dusty Rhodes hell.

[steelerjj]

Bob Pettis played Sg. Slaughter.

[mamacornettesmoney]

Bob Remus.

[catbird007]

Did you see the size of that shirt collar on the super destoyer...lol

[Bloodsport1]

lol

[aj31313]

I guess this is before he was "number 1 Paul Jones" lol

[Freebird79]

david crockett is horrible could you imagine a broadcast booth with he, vince, and bruno

[JPD767075]

Did you know that this guy became Srgt. Slaughter?

[Nurikane]

Looks like Don Jardine has a bling-bling at his front tooth.... or it's just me?

[redevilrps13]

super desroyer's collar is not big enough.

[aesir666]

Haha he said doodie

~ 1:31 poop

[Nurikane]

I've heard him saying "duty" in a thick Canadian accent. But, maybe you're right! Who knows? ^_^

[bacardilvr]

LOL! How many wrestlers used the word "Daddy" in their promos. "I'm gonna be on da scene, daddy!"

[bpcraig]

If you got a problem with that, we'll meet in the steel cage, daddy!

[catdaddy2006]

Wow!! David crockett looks about 15 here.

[Backsasser]

Great memories.I used to watch this on channel 5 in Raleigh NC

[ipsolocatur12]

Amen. I used to watch the Super D in Charleston SC from '75-'76. I tracked him down in Canada where I shared some e-mails with him before he died in 12/06. He used to drive the marks crazy in good old Charleston's County Hall (now gone).

[Nurikane]

You're one lucky daddy!
