Truly one of the all-time great promos. Had it on VHS tape for years, but the tape's condition deteriorated and it became unwatchable. It's great to see it again after all these years, thanks for posting.
Buddy Landell is one of the most under rated Wrestlers in Pro Wrestling! I wish you all the best Nature Boy Buddy Landell and hope that you're working somewhere in the Wrestling industry!
Whatever his faults as a human,he truly was a legend in the ring and on the mike.Hopefully,one day he will be remembered for his contributions to the sport.
Buddy's career was doom from start he can think dusty for that match with ric flair buddy never rose more then a mild card he was great on the mic he should have went anther way with his character after 1985
the funny thing to me about this promo, is that Jim said in a shoot interview that when no one likes a wrestler back stage they suddenly find God. Coupled with Jim's atheism claims this must have made for a great off-camera moment. LOL
One of the greatest promos EVER. Buddy Landell is GREAT, and could've been better if he had never fallen to drugs and alcohol. It shows what a great God we have that he rescued Landell from his addictions. God bless "Nature Boy" Buddy Landell!
@Airsoftcleaner Buddy Landel was a BETTER in ring wrester than Ric Flair. Watch the guy. He was great but drugs and Alcohol crushed him. Flair was Champion because of his mic skills. This is actually a heartbreaking REAL - shoot promo.
@aitraining What's sad is Buddy said in a interview that his run in SMW, his matches with HBK and Bret Hart on house shows made Vince offer him a contract but he tore his Achilles tendon.
@NWAfan Close your ears and watch them both in the ring. Ric Flair was not a great technical wrestler. A legend on the mic, but Flair worked with the same handful of moves. Buddy Landel was better imo.
LOL. I was thinking the same thing. Reminds me of a televangelist. I just love the Lyndyrd Skynyrd "Gimme Back My Bullets" quotes at 2:45-2:55 which probably went over most people's heads. What a clown.
I have the match between Buddy and HBK for the IC Title on tape. Its one of the best matches you will never see. Its not just Shawn either who could make a piece of lint look good. Buddy Landell really brought it in this match. I didn't think much of him until I seen him against HBK. The last 3 minutes especially are epic. Needless to say, Buddy Landell won my respect with this match.
Damn, Buddy's shooting right here. Intense.

He was a solid mid card guy, he could've had a good run with the IC strap
With Jake Roberts, Rude or HTM

Favorite Landell line:
"People ask me why I dye my hair blonde. Well, I DON'T dye my hair blonde. I dye my roots brown just to give people something to talk about!"

I'd like to see Jim's face during this interview. It doesn't seem like his outspoken atheism would gibe well with this.
