Muhammed Ali Messing With Gorilla Monsoon Hilarious!

[kmg4]

In an open fight, a wrestler would beat a boxer. The wrestler has too many moves, and Gorilla Monsoon is twice Ali's weight.

[Caljamscott]

Great!

[cyclist421]

@kmg4 Unfortunately... We'll never know.

[kmg4]

What year was this? 1975?

Young Vince McMahon w/ Gorilla Monsoon.

[lakebay972]

@kmg4 June 1976

[pr9nkaholic]

Long Live Muhammad Ali!!!

Happy Birthday champ.

[piratesmvp]

This was clearly staged.

[jjn1057]

He got what he deserved. Pro Wrestling is no joke.



[kjmhillbill1]

@jjn1057 its just a play. fake. always has been always will be. ali could have beat his ass bad

[DanEvPro]

@jjn1057 ....

its staged

ali would would literally kill him..

[ibenez54]

@DanEvPro lmfao, yea rite

[DanEvPro]

@ibenez54 yea rite my ass

he would kill him inside the ring.

[ur1sab]

[DrJReefer]

@cyclist421 Vince McMahon the owner of the WWF/E was promoting the Ali vs Inoki proto MMA fight in Japan, this was to get some heat on Ali going in to the fight to get wrestling fans interested. Ali liked pro wrestling an was heavily influenced by something said to him by Gorgeous George. "The more you talk the more they'll pay to see someone shut you up kid" I guess Ali thought it would be fun too

[cyclist421]

@DrJReefer Yes. I remember that fight with Inoki. It was something to watch. I was young but remember watching it with my dad. It was really funny.

[cypresscoach]

That was a great show. I don't remember this. Ali must have been pretty hard up to do this. Ya know, this is exactly the same tactic the MMA folks are using. Trying to dis boxing to make their sport seem more legitimate. It's too bad some boxers are willing to sell out their sport, for a small payday. You don't see baseball players bragging they can out-pitch football players, or hockey players challenging wrestlers to a skating contest. It's all rather pointless.

[elc1960]

@cypresscoach It was from Spring 1976, and it was to promote the Muhammed Ali vs Antonio Inoki "boxer vs wrestler" match in Tokyo. Vince McMahon was one of the promoters involved, along with Bob Arum, who was handling Ali's fights back then. They had another event in the AWA wgere Ali took on Buddy Wolfe and Kenny Jay in boxer vs wrestler fights on ABC's "Wide World of Sports" with Howard Cosell doing commentary.

[bshen88]

I remember this from when I was a kid and I've always wondered about it. I mean logically you'd think this is fake like all other pro-wrestling events. But I just wonder why Ali would do something like this and come out looking like a chump. It just doesn't make sense to me.

[sabc714]

haha, Ali.

What a great actor.

[Marco81blues]

american bullshit ....

[chupacabra4real]

"hey i m gorilla munsoon ,i can beat ali like s't ,i m the greatest ,i.........BANG!!!!!.......hey what happened?"wake up fatboy ,you got knocked 20 years ago and slept ever since...it s 2012 and you just woke up from a coma.....ali s in a chair right now ,do you want a rematch?

[Eternalover78]

4:25 - Who is the interviewer? Vince McMahon? 

[elc1960]

@Eternalover78 It sure is. This was to promote the Ali vs Antonio Inoki fight in 1976. Vince was one of the promoters involved in the match, along with Ali's promoter Bob Arum (they also co-promoted Evel Knievel's Snake River canyon jump in '73)..

[Eternalover78]

@elc1960 Thanks for the detailed answer!

[MrEdlgar]

He was no Joe Luis, that's for sure.

[ezekielwahwah]

he should have boxed him! :-))

[libetop]

hahaha like this fat bastard could ever defeat anything else but flies...Anyway Ali was a dumbass to accept this

[chupacabra4real]

joe Frazier hit 2500 2700 psi......how much could a big fat blob punch to ko a man who took countless of these hits to the head? You can see clearly that ali s jabs come from 1 m away.....you people who buy this crap are either retarded ,either 10 years old who never gave or took a punch in your life

[9gga1]

Your a real dumbass if you belive this, bet Muhammed got paid a billion for this, dont you srsly think that Muhammed Ali would kick his ass in a serious fight? ahahhaa

[REPeteOFender]

They should've made Ali win, with some fake punches and then a ROCK hand in the air and WHAM!

[mulletsrule3388]

ali was trash he dodged the draft just shows hes a fucking coward

[michaelyouth]

@mulletsrule3388 Jep. he faced 2 men, Foreman and Shavers, who were the hardest punchers in history, and could kill you with a shot (literally). Plus he dodged the draft, as he wasn't willing to fight in a meaningless war, proving himself to be greater than al those stupid rednecks who are fighting for a few people upstairs, so that they can stay billionaires And oh yeah he faced 5 years imprisonment, lost his title and millions of dollars, just for his beliefs. A true coward(!)

[mulletsrule3388]

@michaelyouth hes a coward he wanted his fame and his titles and his money but when asked to prove himself a real man and a real american he chose to run away like a little bitch elvis whent u didnt see him crying alis a bitch boy and thats y idc that hes sick karma caught that fucker

[michaelyouth]

@mulletsrule3388 Ali didn't even have to fight in the war. All he had to do was go around ad perform for the soldiers in US. He never had to engage in physical combat; meaning he'd never get hurt, make millios of dollars, keep his title and still keep his prime. He chose for the brave way out: Risking 5 years imprisonment, losing title, all that money and fame. Also he could have ran to Canada, he told the media that he would not do that. Only fools engage in meaningless wars.

[honestman43]

@michaelyouth Please stop the "stupid redneck" comments toward our soldiers. I disagree with both current wars and Vietnam, but the real idiots are the ones in office, not the average soldier.

[michaelyouth]

@honestman43 The ones going to war are the fools. America claims to be a Christian country, but all these so called Christians or even Muslims or Jews, give up their religion, their belief, their faith and basically disobey God and for what? For ''their'' country.. Just a bit of land with some borders, they give up everything for that.. And who benefits? A couple of people in office, who are never going to fight and keep living in their billion dollar mansions and cars.

[honestman43]

@michaelyouth What country are you from?

[michaelyouth]

@honestman43 Should that matter?

[honestman43]

@michaelyouth Yes it does matter. If you are American, I hope you are doing more to change things that just ranting on YouTube. If you are not American, how much do you really know about us and what about your own history?

[michaelyouth]

@honestman43 I am not American, it should not matter though what country I am. I know enough about my own history. I'm not talking about ''your'' history, I'm just saying there are idiots going to war and Muhammad Ali was one of the few brave enough to say no to a power structure that is killing, killing and killing.

[honestman43]

@michaelyouth You have your own opinion (I can respect that). However, people were lied to and drafted into fighting in Vietnam. We (and our soldiers) were also lied to about Iraq, and Afghanistan. I just don't believe that the soldiers are idiots.

[ronocko]

@michaelyouth What do you mean the bible commands them to kill the non believers and people of other religions?

[michaelyouth]

@ronocko The bible has verses with such nature, but that's not what I mean. America is a so called Christian country, however those idiots going to war, are the ones giving up their faith in their God, for their ''country''. A country that isn't even really theirs, just some God give land, with made up borders. They disobey God for their country meaning their country is more important than God. And who benefits out of this? Nobody but the people who are NOT fighting.

[patrickedmund]

@mulletsrule3388 Yeah, he's gonna sacrifice his life for the "freedom of his country", when that country had been enslaving black people for decades.

[mulletsrule3388]

@patrickedmund o god dont even start that slave shit he was called on to do his duty as a man and as an american hes trash he didnt go thats just trash hes trash and now hes sick its called karma

[patrickedmund]

@mulletsrule3388 Ah Karma, the law of the universe that makes perfect sense. Just like all those little kids who have leukemia. We know why they have it, it is because they've been pricks all their lives and now Karma has gotten them with cancer.

And by the way, "duty as a man", you do realise thats just a technique used by those in Washington to convince young men they are dying for a noble cause.

[mulletsrule3388]

@patrickedmund he was asked to fight he turned it down he shoulda been exiled from this country. its fucking stupid im glad hes sick and miserable also that karma can be deemed to his atitude too

[Jardine83]

@mulletsrule3388 your glad hes sick andmiserable? one he isnt miserable and 2 yea hes sick but you are going to get much worse for such a profundly rude and ignorant comment, just due to the fact that you are jealous of what he had/has. And you can NOT find a boxer that does not have the same attitude to at least some extent

[mulletsrule3388]

@Jardine83 uhh yeah manny dont have that atitued neither did holeyfeild or shane mosley all great all better men all better people sorry but ali was over rated and im not jealouse of anything hes a chump

[raminarezou1009]

that was just a Hilarious show

[TheFredster911]

wow..... i dint know muhammed ali could act so well

[boz987]

Nice of Gorilla to follow the script and lay him down.

[DrJReefer]

@boz987 Nice of Ali to agree to look bad against a pro wrestler and not take liberties with Gorrilla, he sold it like a champ too.

Great little spot.

[Papahitas]

The greatest shaker of all time, for sure ! Parkinson world champion !

[TandarKhan]

The Greatest boxer and a man of all times. love you Ali

[Gringorito]

lol, this is so sad to look at...and that dude is like * yeah i could break his arm break his legg * what ever... if this wouldnt be a show, ali could send him to hell from one punch...that dude is all in sweat after few moves.....

[rochelfan]

the greatest

[sebbie55555]

love how fake the throws are at the end fight the guy runs at him then jumps with both feet together at him

[49prince23]

Once sat with Bruno Sammartino, was an idiot sports reporter me, a job, knew nothing about sports, told him I was surprised he was so well-spoken. "What the fuck, he 'expostulated' shall we say, what do think i am, some dumb guinea from the wrong side of the tracks!?"

[49prince23]

Sad

4 Ali no money so

Vince Mac Mahon sho

biz dough

[Naweed2]

this Fat ass punk underestimates a boxer, one boxer is enough to beat 10 fake ass wrestlers like this...

[FightMang36]

Wrestling fans are like the dumbest people on the planet.

[VapourGigs]

Rocky 3 LOL.

[CCNeal10]

good way to boost your popularity though ey 

[clinch44]

WHY THE POLICE MAKING AIL LEAVE???? THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT WHEN HE STEP IN THE RING

[MrFeritoo2]

omg show 1:48 to 1:51 fake..

[Papahitas]

Probably the best fight Cassius the slave ever did.

[ACPerformances]

@Papahitas What a derogatory and meaningless comment. You'll never be remembered, Ali will.

[008Mahmoud]

@Papahitas Slave?! his name is *Muhammed Ali Clay* The GREATEST of ALL TIME (Your BOSS)......There are NO slaves,that is what Islam fought...Dunno what is wrong with people like you,So tough behind that keyboard.....

[jintoor]

I wish ali did not take part in this fake wrestling match,just like with rocky marciano,making the other guy look good,They actually start believing they can beat ali,forgetting this is a set up and ali did them a favour.

[Kayaquee]

@jintoor I hardly think that anyone would actually believe that fatty would stand a chance against Ali. Even if the round was 10 seconds long, Ali would have messed him up and dropped him down within those 10 seconds. Ali was one of few who could do fake stuff like this, because he was as great as he was. Just fun to see Ali got the selfirony needed to be a part of this :)

[ascuba5]

Everyone's talkin' bout who would win, Ali or Monsoon.. nobody's talkin about the dude who caught Ali's shoes @ 2:25 - What an epic catch!

[abdi1983]

@ascuba5 that was so simple

[xXperdigaoXx]

Except for me

[dohdohman11]

haha. theres sum dumbasses on here. wrestling is fake idiots. HE FLOATS LIKE A BUTTERFLY AND HE STINGS LIKE A BEE. HE THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. HE KNOCK MONSOON OUT WITH ONE COMBO. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER MUHAMMAD ALI.

[C6RLemans]

Gorilla would make Ali his bitch

[abdi1983]

@C6RLemans nah ali is to fast that guy would be tired ali would knock him out this just for fun he's making gorilla look good just like how he did with rocky when he made a short little movie to see who would win ali would knock rocky out in couple of rounds but did he bitch about the movie? nah he knows it ant real just opinions.

[mx150rider1]

lol i really think the gorilla dude actually thinks he could beat muhammed ali up :L!

[alz1112]

rofl its fkn obvious that he put his hand in monsoon's face so he can grab it..

[MaGicTriXz]

Com'on for all the folks thinkin this is real.. Open ur eyes' Ali didn't even try to get close, he was faking those straight jabs. He could punch the fuck out that fat dude and knockin him out, before that dude even realises it.. Y'all funny :)

[mnvinn]

Gorilla monsoon is huge

[tanveerpani]

lol look at the wrestlers face 1:36

[STEJTHEGREATEST]

It sounds weird hearing Gorilla cut a promo as a wrestler. He had the exact same voice!

[beatlejim64]

Monsoon would have kicked his ass...

[pdotology]

rite now i can take dem all so am i the goat? lol jk so if u reply on sum funny shit im odin

[xokeyd0keyx]

que al pedo subio.se re comio los mocos

[BucketBoi420]

its funny how fake it is, Ali would have taken him down within 1 round

[reg5381]

boxers rarely beat wrestlers,especially 400lb ones.

[saladinabu]

@reg5381 are you kidding me?

[ghostface2356]

if you thik about this is what happend in rocky 3

[clinch44]

@ghostface2356 BUT ROCKY WON.......THAT IS IF THEY DIDN'T RING THAT FINAL BELL

[brandeezy108]

notice how he wasn't actually punching the "wrestler." if ali actually hit him, there goes the paycheck. after the "match" the wrestler and ali thanked eachother and said, "i think they bought it!"

[lucky44124]

LOL Butch Lewis is there

[PunisherLobo]

hmm i think Mayeweather and Big Show faked this!!!

[bringdeeze]

SUPERFLY!! PURE LEGEND!!

[str8rite1]

is that vince mcmahaon the 1 taking the interview????

[dzNUTttz]

@str8rite1 very young vince mcmahaon

[allama9485]

if i were muhammad ali i would kill that stupid motherfucker!!

[bjornsiborgsi]

one reason for ali to do this...COLD HARD FUCKING CASH

[osvie01]

That was nice of Ali to make Gorilla Monsoon look good, because in reality he would have beat the shit out of him.

[Lennon4life1968]

I always assume that those who insist on telling the world the obvious (that wrestling is fake) do so because they were duped all along.

[thelordmemnoch]

@Lennon4life1968 I have to agree. I was so surprised that they had a special on t.v. "uncovering" the truth about wrestling and I was wondering who the hell actually thought it was real.

[ryan51a]

that was great



[MrJilguerooOlomejor]

que chulo era y makina k era

[k1ngdragon411]

vince had ali mike,mayweather lol.

[tubzb38]

This isn't Muhammad Ali, he woud have kicked that fat guys ass first second, and ali didnt't punch like that he was alot more skilled and he would have never surrendered.

[tonyfressola]

If I were Ali, I wouldn't have stepped in the ring with Gorilla Monsoon!!!! Gorilla way too big. Before someone writes me an ugly letter, I am kidding.

Ali never planned on hitting "The Gorilla" It was a riot to watch.

[TPTE5]

@cozmic24 hahahaha was just about to write something similar but read up first. It was brilliant!!

[quincy5757]

one of the great all time promos in the old WWE... Can still remember Monsoon saying Ali didn't know a wristlock from a wristwatch.. And the Airplane Spin... loved that old move.. Dont see it used anymore..

[alanmeires]

wow iv never seen this before lol 

[ExtremeFirebird24]

Too bad that was fake Muhammad Ali could kick that fat ass any day

[ImKoolWithThis]

@ExtremeFirebird24 For sure lol.

[seka1986]

@ExtremeFirebird24 It wasn't fake, Ali was at ringside and lost his temper, Gorilla Monsoon taught him a lesson that day.

[thePCgamingZone]

@seka1986 LOL omfg r u serious? tht was so fake ali could of wiped his ass with Monsoon

[nakedstud]

@seka1986 I'm guessing you think the whole ali vs superman match up was real as well

[KUzZ911]

@ExtremeFirebird24 Wrestling is fake & planned before they Fight!

[chrislipimp]

Wrestling is fake its all an act like a soap opera lol boxing and mma are real

[chrislipimp]

A boxer can beat a wrestler and a wrestler can beat a boxer its not about what fighting style you use its about how skillful the fighter is.

[Jamietheboi91]

"Muhammad Ali is gunna comit suicide here" wait what?

[arabinking]

of course its fake for sure!! duhh who ever think it was true must be stupid!!!

[Antrizzle2009]

R.I.P. Gorilla Monsoon. I loved that guy.

[hoggies9]

this shit is so stupid

[elzino9]

is that vince mcman

[Antrizzle2009]

@elzino9 Yep. Around when he was getting his start as a commentator.

[PWDooood]

@elzino9 I think its his dad, not sure. Vince Sr was the boss before Vince Jr

[lkujaj]

that just reminds me of rocky film lol

[RMJerich0]

where is steve austin lol

[xR1D1xful]

Damn, his manager always stops him from getting into pointless fights look at him stopping him.

[liquidsilk4]

@mink31 dude this was a joke ali could have knocked him out with one punch

[Learningbyhearing]

lol "Round and round and round he goes."

[Mascew530]

That was being a retarded Ali,

[fran9860]

someone should put a bullet in the brain of vince mcmahon.

[feichen1997]

@fran9860 Learn more of his history. It wasn't Vince McMahon that held control over the company it was Vince Mcmahon Sr.

[f00k321]

thats why i dont like wrestling...

[trbl97]

1:46 that god damn lagger

[blakdust3]

Muhammad Ali is a jobber?

[duprez2]

@blakdust3 Ali has been a fan of wrestling since Gorgeous George. Gorgeous George was a HUGE influence on Muhammad's public persona and self promotion. It makes perfect since that Ali would graciously put over Gorilla Monsoon.

[mink31]

A boxer can never beat a wrestler - period.

[duprez2]

@mink31 It depends. If the boxer fails to land his knockout punch before the wrestler takes him to the ground, then the boxer IS done. 8 out of 10 times the wrestler will win.

[Rockyfan10060]

Ali would one punch "Gorilla Monsoon". This is really pathetic.

[Pazernator]

are u tryin to tell me that a wrestling match was fake?? OHH DEERRR

[ah93704]

This is what gave Ali Parkinsons. Poor guy!

[ah93704]

@michaelyouth wow! good comeback internet tough guy. you sound so tough behind your computer. I bet you wear glasses too huh? You fucking retard. You're lucky I dont know who you are. I'd take my foot and shove it so far up your ass the water on my kneee will quench your thirst. My mother is 67 years old and is in great health you fucking douchebag. You're mother is probably dead and you're just pissed because yuo know she knows she raised a fucking loser who talks shit on youtube!

[michaelyouth]

@ah93704 Im sincerely sorry dude. The mother thing wasn't nice. She has fuck all to do with this and we should respect all mothers. So Im sorry for that, was a dumb low blow... But you said, in my opinion, something fucking stupid about Ali and his Parkinson. I take it back and will delete the comment, because it was really low, but Parkinson has nothing to do with this fake match..

[ah93704]

@michaelyouth Its cool..and I"m sorry about my Ali comment. I didnt mean anything by it. I just thought it was funny how easily Monsoon handled him and I just sort of internet blurted that out..LOL..but its all good..hope you're having a great day and God bless!

[Yusef100]

OMG - ALI WAS FLOORED!

[CHRIS50117]

Fake so fake

[mx150rider1]

hahahah ali you legend!! an no sh*t its fake

[yakulanicksan]

this is fake!!! do i get a point now??? what was the rule's again??? hehehehe

[dondorots]

it is fake damm ass... it is only for a entertainment....it is stupid if muhhamad ali knock out just by spenting around man..... muhhammad ali is the best..... this is only for america television movie... sick man...

[thegiftedmedia]

Wow! That is such a fun ride. Awesome stuff. I would love to get dizzy like that!

[MegaAhleSunnat]

Ali would have nocked him out before he could have moved a muscle.

[michaelyouth]

God Sylvester Stallone took everything from Muhammads Ali life.

[Kara0Priscilla]

A young Vince McMahon interviewing gorilla, at the end of the ali fight.

[shockadellick]

@curtisjones400 what people fail to understand if the fact most fight go to the ground. But if no one stop it, it will end standing up! WHY is this the reverse of what everyone thinks? Because on the ground, someone's BALLS are going to be grabbed super hard. Someones Adams apple will be pinched hard, not to mention men back in the day would bite before man kind made AIDS. Wresting is a sport, if it were no rules, winners would be strikers.

[djkhaled412]

AND thats why rocky fought HULK hogan

[SpoilerNumberOne1978]

@6:21 lol..."Jimmy Snuper Fi Snuka"

[txdx]

hahaha Ali jobbed to Monsoon.. a true showman.

[ad1997]

was that Vincent mcman?

[DaRozeman]

@ad1997 Yep

[spaceloser20]

Announced weight: 312 lbs

McMahon weight: Over 400 lbs

[Rayla840]

@spaceloser20 Haha. Maybe the announcer meant to say 412 lbs

[TheMbillings]

@Rayla840 i think so

[TheTabshirEmperor]

I dont know why but this reminds me of when Casey Heynes bodyslamed Ritchard Gale

[rskiller10]

how many should he get paid to act this part

[sjamil316]

To the people saying its fake. Just the fact that you feel it's necessary to point that out shows your level of intelligence.

[thegangstercow]

@sjamil316 fake...:)
