R.I.P. Harley Race (with Kerry Von Erich & Hulk Hogan)




When I started watching wrestling, Harley was in the twilight of his career. He was known as the "The King" in the WWF. Even then, I noticed there was something special about the way he carried himself. He always seemed supremely confident in his abilities, no matter who his opponent was.

Here's a clip of Harley vs super babyface Kerry Von Erich in 1982.

 

Here's Harley putting a bounty on Ric Flair. He would pay $25K to anyone who could take him out.



There's a lack of decent quality videos featuring Harley wrestling, so I decided to upload one myself.
Harley faces Hulk Hogan just a month after his controversial WWF title loss to Andre the Giant. The Hulkster's fired up and bounces Harley around like a superball. (Bear in mind, Harley was 45 at the time.) Eventually, the grizzled veteran finds an opening to take control. Can the King stop the irresistible force of Hulkamania?





Harley Race: "The greatest wrestler on God's green earth."
