  • before jesse ventura got into politics, he tried to get a union started in wrestling, but was unsuccessful....

  • 1-900-909-4LOU...I used to call that all of the time. Then they ruined it by having The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling on each and every day near the end.

  • Kayfabe was so boring.

  • Dr D David Schultz vs Stone Cold. would have loved to see it.

  • lol gotta love Captain Lou man.

  • nowadays, Jim Wilson would look like gold and the others look like shit.

  • Wrestling is fake

  • LOL .. This guy was trying to expose the ruthless promoters and instead got eaten alive by the workers defending the kayfabe who ended up facing another decade of exploitation by promoters..

  • Lou Albano's entire thoughts on this show can be summed up: "10 seconds of wrestling talk- 30 seconds of 'I'm not finished, wait, hold on, I'm not done, wait a minute, OH ALRIGHT!'"

  • I don't know why Jim didn't get up and blast that fuckin goofball David Shultz. The only dogs that bark as loud as Shultz does are the ones that are scared. Fuckin loudmouthed idiot and a dam liar.

  • @capitalismforme Oh please, Shultz would rip your heart through your asshole. Hes a fucking bounty hunter now.

  • @80s90ssports 1st, no he couldn't. 2nd, no he's not; he "used" to be.

  • @capitalismforme Oh ok there though guy lol

  • Mancho Man  Is in this clip Look Closely. Along with other. We are fools to pay to see or watch this SHIT and we treat Vince McMahon Like he is A crack dealer.

  • bobo da hobo couldnt beat bugaloo shrimp at 5th and grand street. But bubbaliscious could have beat bubba da bubbalub brazilian nutsac.....ahh fug it bunch of mofo's!

  • Ya know they may all be lying, but I have to admit there is something pretty cool about watching these guys defend the "reality" of pro wrestling.

  • Jim Wilson was right about the money.

  • For the most part, Jim Wilson was right.

  • I use to like Albano but not after this. He's just as much a lying scumbag bully as Dr. D is.

  • If only Albano and the others knew then how much of the shit they had to cover would be public knowledge today.. Sad..

  • OMG what the fuck is the matter with these people.... wrestling is the most FAKE sport out there ..... All these guys are doing is making complete asses of themselves. Christ half these guys are all friends ...... these so called interviews are all staged....I know this is an old video that tries to say that wrestling is real but in fact its as phony as most of the WWE's womens breasts !!

  • @Saytar7 Yeah, but this is taking place in '85, before Vince McMahon came out and admitted that wrestling is "sports entertainment" so most of the guys here are doing what people in the business did for decades - maintain kayfabe. If this show was taking place 20 years later, it'd be completely different.

    And let's face it, wrestling is not really "fake" in that people really do get hurt and it does take a great amount of athletic skill to put on a good performance.

  • the newer version of this show is called the bill o'reilly show

  • I love watching this now. Do I believe Jim Wilson? Yes.

  • okay.....Dr.D was the real deal, its a legit tough guy

  • What when did this come to life, wrestling fake...god dangit

  • Ohhh just have a good time with this interview...Let them growl and curse!! That's part of the business anyway! They are part athletes, part showmen, and they indeed get hurt!

  • turns out the dude in the middle wasn't a liar, all the other fuckers on the stage were lol, plus he says he made around 800 bucks a week, that's not too bad actually, that's close to 50 grand a year, that's not fuckin bad

  • I love the idiots who comment on here that wrestling is fake like they just discovered the theory of friggin relativity. Of course they blade, of course the matches are predetermined, but back during this time wrestlers protected the business. And if any of these wrestlers failed to protect the "secret", they'd be out of a job.Stop acting like your a genius for pointing out that the stooge was telling the truth. It had been protected since the early 1900's, and trust me it was better back then.

  • @wrasslinrick it isn't fake sure but most people know more or less it's not true competition but it isn't totally make believe alot of the injuries are real!

  • What a bunch of roided up assholes. Hope they are enjoying their dirtnaps and or hovearounds now.

  • It's ironic. Ever since the business was "came out"- and people can now see the true skill that goes into a good wrestling match - wrestlers are much more respected as athletes than they ever were. Now that everyone can see the skill of a Bret Hart or a Chris Jericho or a Bryan Danielson, it's much more respected as an art form. When done right.

  • The funny thing about this is Dr. Dave schultz did more whining then anyone when he hit the reporter Stossel saying it was "scripted and he was told to by the promoter to do it". So it shows when the shoe was on the other foot how much of a hypocrit he really was.. Lou Albano was before my time but he was very protective of Kayfabe and I respect his position on this and admire it as todays wrestling has no secrets and not even many kids belive in it like when i was a youngster in the late 80s.

  • The Doctor was a real life heel.

  • Did Morton Jr know that Albano & Schultz would sty in charcter the whole show? Also, did Wilson know they would stay in character? lmao!

  • crying about it? You were crying about it when Vince threw you out, saying how the brass in the back told you to slap Stossel and then fired your goofy redneck ass when you did.

  • Lou Albano's missus has shocking double standards; she'd divorce him if he cut his face, but she's cool with him wearing rubber bands. Tsk.

  • In the quote from Vince Mcmahon which Jim Wilson read out from that piece of paper is quite an eerie line ; "If they really did the things that they look like they are doing to each other, there would be a lot of dead wrestlers.", I know that the many deaths have came from things other than in-ring action alone, but that still sent a cold chill through my body when he read that out.

  • Shultz is a fuckin punk from the word go.

  • jim wilson is right. matches are predetermined and wrestlers blade them selves. And pat patterson is gay.

  • Is this all a work?

  • ,GOD THIS IS GOOD TV,looking at this and everything that surrounded wrestling man this just made ppl aware of wrestling all these bitter ppl trash talk wrestling but it just gave wwF and vince mcmahon the abilty 2 grab ppl that are new and say i want 2 see what the hype is,it just gave them more exposure more time in the limelight it made ppl watch it not just 4 the wrestling but 2 see what happens in the ring and what 2 watch 4, as u start looking at it not 4 the wrestling but the drama

  • we see the true nature of these big tough guys. attack the victim, defend the abusers. We now all know these wrestlers had first hand knowledge of pat pattersons and others sexually abusive behaviors.

  • Captain Lou is an annoying fat fuck and Morton Downey Jr is a durrie punching faggot.

  • @humpyhustler i would agree with that why they are attacking this black guy ?

  • Captain Lou looks like Captain Caveman.

  • 09:12 I ain't gon hit you cuz you gon sue! LOL!!!

  • Ted Arcini has no right to speak. His gimmick was shit. Jim Wilson may have been right but seriously who would pay to see him? . Shultz was interersting no Sheik by a long shot.Albano was and is the man

  • lou albano wants to do all the talking .....its kind of annoying

  • Dr. D and Lou Albano is some real pieces of shit. I understand protecting the business, but this amount of lying is ridiculous. I would never believe anything either of them said after all this lying.

  • @oldschooldogy Lot of these guys are legends in their own minds, Fatass probably believes the crap he is spewing.

  • Roddy Piper always called Albano "Lou Albino", to his face no less.

  • Jim didn't stand a chance. Everytime he said something they all surrounded him. They were clearly trying to intimidate him, and they succeeded; especially Dr. Death.

  • OK wrestling is fun, and seems realer than alot of

    'real' forms of entertainment out there, but these guys are either delusional or lying through their teeth about not being told to win/lose or bleed to enhance the entertainment of the business and draw more money and larger crowds/attention to the shows.

  • JERRY SPRINGER'S TWIN -.......AND JERRY IS THED OMINATE TWIN -  UGH!!

  • captain lou = kayfabe king

  • LOL that is the most impressive " let's protect Kayfabe " reunion I have ever seen in my life. Ridiculous.

  • @JonathanVonErich Tbf though, at the time it was like a universal thing between wrestlers to protect the business. I'd feel sorry for the guy, since what he's saying is right, but at the end of the day he's breaking kayfabe, and that's why they're really pissed off at him. He shouldn't have expected anything different. He's lucky he didn't get the shit kicked out of him or worse, if we're honest, since wrestling was very different in those days

  • liars

  • I think the fat, dumpy "captain" is actually so delusional that he thinks Pro Wrasslin is real...yikes.

  • @tickyul he is acting. cant you hear his voice? its the same voice they all use in their promos.

  • @ArtfulDawdger Maybe you are right, lots of these guys think they are so great it is hard to tell. And that nut Schultz....well, I do not have to tell you how crazy he is.

  • You cant fuck with Captain Lou!!

  • honestly, the only thing i learned from any of this is that schultz should have been on the WWE payroll for life. even after he was fired for standing up for the business and punching stossel, he could have turned his back on mcmahon and the entire business and instead he is a soldier for kayfabe...

  • Not all the guy's bladed Some insisted on "hard way" where thier eyebrow got split open from a punch or they actually got their head split open. bladeing was just easier

  • of course they cut it is a known fact

  • amazing how lou flat out lies.. no one tells you to lose? n such thing as blading? its not fake?

  • amazing how lou flat out lies.. no one tells you to lose?

  • if there is a little racism in wrestling, i dont believe that complaining chump faced it he was just a sucka

  • So they used to rly watch this crap?

  • those guys like david shultz who kept defending wrestling saying there was no blading, etc now look foolish. t-bolt and wilson were trying to help wrestlers get there share so the others were actually the buttkissers.

  • Massive headache watching this non-sense.

  • RIP Captain Lou and Jim Wilson

  • now we know who are the liars. wrestling is fake...

  • @williameva exactly....

  • Let me tell you something... jeje.. that is the rule on how to always start a sentence if you are a rassler. Jim Wilson might be the smartest man on the panel along with Albano (Lou was a little louder in how he expressed himself of course!), eventhough ALbano def protecting the business, CAN YOU BLAME HIM back then?

  • ROTFLMFAO @ these guys fabing on TV while Jim is telling the God honest truth!

  • lmao @ "I'll pull your eyeballs out!"

  • I love how they defend the very same promoters who completely used them for financial gain. If wrestlers were real men they would step into the octagon, or join the Armyso they can get a taste of some real combat. Thats why I got mad respect for Brock Lesner.

  • @Broadhammer It's a television show.

  • @Broadhammer Good that Lesnar was enough in WWF to collect financial stability, octacon folks aren't paid good, atleast when compared.

  • I love how they defend the very same promoters who completely used them for financial gain. If wrestlers were real men they would step into the octagon, or join the Armyso they can get a taste of some real combat.

  • Wow, Capt. Albano or Capt. Kayfabe?

  • Talk about kayfabe

  • Lou Albano used to do blade jobs. how can he sit there and play innocent. not bashin him im just puttin it out there. he didnt use it on him self he would have someone do it to him

  • JIM IS FUCKING KAYFABING LIKE A CHURCH MOUSE. I'M SURPRISE HE WASN'T STRUNG UP ON THE DAM TRUSS

  • So funny how they all blatantly lie through their teeth about match outcomes being pre-determined and cutting with the razor blades.

  • screaming rules

  • Capt Lou looks like he's been doing the cocaine

  • R.I.P Cap'n Lou!!!

  • I love Morton Downy Jr., Such a goddamn Clown!

  • I wish I could have gone to one of the tapings

  • "She sure wouldn't want anything happening to that pretty face of yours." I loved that.

  • when was this ??

  • RIP Lou

  • God I forgot about this puppet court, LMAO!

  • Dr. Dave Shultz is the original Austin/ Sid Justice

  • Captain Lou, "With a brain of a dehydrated BB."....LOLOLOLOL

  • They were protecting the business. This Jim was betraying the business.

  • Wrestling is fake!!!!!!!!!!

  • i can only scream not talk... funny

  • good stuff ~ classic stuff ~ what happend 2 the capt

  • Funny thing is that Mr. Jim Wilson is right about everything. It is pre-determined, there is such things as blade jobs, and every1 is hating on him bc he's telling the truth.

    Shame

    & obviously there is racism in Wrestling. WcW had equality, wwe not so much.

  • @hisss711 still the same way with WWE as well. Think about it. Who have been the top guys the last 7 years? Cena, Undertaker, Orton, Edge, Triple H (obvious reasons), Jericho. We have seen the same people at the top, every once in a while someone new will be brought through, but only for a few months.

  • Dr D was Austin before Austin

  • Come on Lou, I have clearly seen guys blading themselves and at times, each other. Especially Macho Man Savage. He was not good at hiding it.

  • I wonder how much of a work this all was?!

  • Morton Downey Jr. is a low life!!

  • @03041976001 you're a douche!!

  • @MegaFuckthatshit what part of Downey do you like?

  • Lou may look like a madman, but his quite quick-witted, lol

  • that shcultz guy is either retarded or a really ballsy and passionate actor... that video where he slaps the 20/20 reporter around...

  • Wrestlers really protected the business back then, but looking back now I think most would agree that there was only one guy on that stage telling the truth, Jim Wilson.

  • @themightycd 4-Real... RiP Jim Wilson

  • there are a couple of heart attacks in the making on that stage.

  • RIP Lou Albano.

  • Capt Lou used to blade with a straight razor, it's in Superstar Billy Graham's book. In fact, once he bladed and dropped his razor, and Graham was worried the police working security would see it and arrest him.

  • I deal and repair classic arcade and sell vintage toys. Some guy came in last week with a Ted Arcini figure. Mint condition he wanted a 1000 bucks for him. Told me its rare. I told him its rare because no one wanted him. After hagling he sold it to me for 100 bucks. After seeing this video again I think I might have made a mistake buying it

  • RIP Cpt Lou Albano

    and I like that Dr. D shirt, im gonna ebay it

  • LMAO...."And half witt morons like this with the brain of a dehydrated BB......" Classic!!

  • wow man... Dr.D and Albino real protected the shit out of the business... i can't understand why vince didn't keep them... they were soldiers!!

  • Why does the guy yell non stop? Who is this nerdy host?

  • look the captains face he never used a blade and I'm sorry but he sucked

  • fuck this smug host. "what do you want a union?" cocksucker

  • Doctor D was kicked out because he sucked. Plain and simple.

  • @jci10 dr. d was fired because he slapped the piss out of 20/20's john stossel on camera and legitimately broke his eardrums.

  • As much as I detect a bit of an disingenuous tone of the guy with the toupee', he did make very salient points and Dr. D was just plain, out of his mind, which today, would probably by diagnosed as roid-rage.

  • oh yeah right.. i like it how you guys fight over this... wresling is fake , always was, always will be... fake as in predetermend... fake as in oponents are not enemies but work side by side ... fake as in these are not real blows and hits, these are stunts... how retarded must you be to think wresling is for good... look at MMA and see 2 guys beat the shit out of each other , with half of these wreslers weigh and tell me, wresling is not fake... its all about buissnes and entertainment

  • At the time, that wrestling was fake, was a well-known "secret". It wasn't until they were forced to submit to the same standards as professional athletes, when they finally "admitted" it was. However, in the course of action, many did get seriously injured, so I have no reason to believe Captain Lou was lying about his.

  • RAGIN MEATHEADS!!!!

    in unison,

    "DEAD FROM THE NECK UP!!!"

  • this not fake bomsheeta !!!

  • Interesting that Captain Lou spoke highly of Vince McMahon (senior) but said he had his differences with Vince McMahon Jr.

  • Shultz was a heat surgeon.

  • Is Shultz a medical doctor or just a PHD

  • Captain Lou Albano

  • @starlightgirlrules

    What happened to him?

  • RIP Capt. Lou!

  • it is fake 4real but good

  • They should have closed off the exits on this joint and set it on fire.

  • I though the same thing about your family reunions.

  • @pubeonapipe fuck you, these guys are funny ass hell! lol

  • @pubeonapipe LOL!!!! 

  • Albano just said Hogan is better than Flair.

  • On October 18, 1962 Bobo Brazil made history by becoming the first Black American to win the NWA World Heavyweight Title by defeating "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers. Championship.Although Bobo Brazil initially refused the title (because of an "injury" that Rogers had Brazil was awarded the title the next day after doctors had found nothing wrong with Rogers. However, this title change is not recognized by the NWA Give Bobo the recognition he deserves. The NWA needs to fix this once and for all.

  • 9:40 rip playboy!!

  • check out the guy standing up at 6:56, I am fairly sure that is Eric Simms of ESS Promotions

  • LOL..the brain of a dehydrated BB!

  • Captain Lou is such a liar...he's a notorious alcoholic - so if his wife won't leave him for drinking, why would she leave him for blading LOL. Real convincing argument. Racism definitely existed in the early days of professional wrestling throughout the 1990's all the way up until the HHH/Booket T feud.

  • I am just surprised by Lou acknoledging Ric Flair while he was working for the WWF.

  • Of course racism exists in wrestling. There's no question about that. As well as greed, corruption, bribery, you name it.

  • @MikeyMcCrashCap All of that exists in every business.

  • @MikeyMcCrashCap Probably no more than any other business. Ya think your average 9-5 white color businessmen dont face racism and prejudice on some level. Whether youre an accountant for a large firm, or a Nurse, a Lawyer, paralegal, there is racism and sexism in every walk of life. Is it right, hell no but unfortunately it exist.Until we can stop seeing black people as that and just people, gay people as just people, there will be prejudice.

  • This was all a shoot.... Thunder bolt said so in the 90s on a show in South Carolina... If you beleave this,you need help..This was a shoot

  • Funny how Lou mentions Bobo Brazil.

    When Bobo won the NWA World Title, he had to drop it days later because of "injury" aka the NWA board didnt want a black man representing the National Wrestling Alliance which was a southern good ol boy organization by then. His title reign has never been recognized.

  • You're right except BoBo "refused" the championship because of Buddy Rodgers "injury". He said that he didn't want to get the Championship because the other wrestler was "injured".

    It's so unbelievable to think that, even to this day, the NWA STILL doesn't reconize BoBo!! On all of the lists of Champions, Ron Simmons is still listed as the 1st African American Champion!!

  • lol so much roids in one room

  • I wish someone would cut Lou Albano up with a blade. If only New Jack were in the crowd back then...

  • I think Dr. D and that guy he was yelling at sucked each other's cocks after the show and then John McCain and Rush Limbaugh sucked each other off.

  • Lou Albano is actually Al Sharpton..... Sharpton must have bleached his skin just like Michael Jackson.

  • Kayfabe FTW!!!!!

  • fuck yeah KAYFABE

  • This was back in the days of kayfabe. Lou and Doctor D were trying to protect that. Today, this would be a totally different show.

  • Doctor D is a little too confrontational for my taste. I sure wouldn't want to piss him off.

  • I remeber watching this show when I was 12. Greatest tv show ever. They have every NJ/NY wrestler, promoter and manager in that crowd.

  • Morton Downey Jr. THE MOUTH was a hoot!

    He was KING of this genre way before Jerry Springer was ever caught with a prostitute.

    Downey really took this crap seriously and chained smoked his way to an early grave. He's missed by all his fans who remember all his crazy shenanigans.

    He was the best!!

  • this is great. I laughed through all three vids. They took a luke warm show and added some spice to it and ended up making it entertaining to watch. I mean How many women in the audience or at home came or tuned in to watch men talk about wrestling? But if you add rascism and homosexuality and controversy you can get anybody to watch.

  • it's a fucking circus mannn..... i would be scared of hosting these people ... they look like they wanna kill each other

  • amateur stuntmen trying to follow a script winner.Lou was a walkover as wrestler losing every match.

  • This shit serves absolutely no purpose. I love it.

  • I'd like to kick Albano's ass!!!

  • what's with allt his yelling! Dr. Phil don't have shit on this show man!

  • I like how all the wrestlers are lying right through their teeth.

  • This episode is wonderfull. Albano is the teacher and everyone including Downey shows him respect and zip's it

  • This is so pointless...I love it.

  • Captain Lou Albano is old school and is protecting the industry's integrity by refusing to break kayfabe when Morton Downey Jr. asks him about matches' outcomes being predetermined.

  • What were they protecting by flat out lying about blades and bookers when outside the bounds of any wrestling show and probably most of the wrestling audience? It's like an actor "protecting the movie business" by denying the existence of make-up or scriptwriters. The only thing they were protecting was their jobs and the corruption that goes on behind the scenes. Wrestling sells out 80K seat stadiums today "unprotected" for the most part.

  • Nothing against Lou though. He was a great entertainer in and out of wrestling, and he probably went kayfabe on such a neutral show (he wasn't representing any feds at the time, I think) because he didn't want to be blackballed by promoters.
