76, that’s practically Methuselah for pro rasslers

I remember him from the old Wrestling at the Chase, back when you only had 3 channels that was great tv

‘Handsome’ ? I thought he was ‘King’ Harley Race?

I met him at a Godfather’s pizza about 35+ years ago. He had maybe five empty pitchers of beer in front of him, and his hands were the size of bear paws. That’s all I can remember.

1.) Hansom? LMAO

2.) He was one tough old SOB. My grandma used to love to go see him when they'd come through town.

Over the years I've met 3 people that claimed that Harley Race assisted them in some way when they had car trouble on I70. Weird. Heck of a guy. RIP

Handsome. JFC.

Andre the Giant feared Harley Race.

Think about that.

Dont know if you remember the Bully of Skidmore Mo they made a movie about him. Well Quitman is very near Skidmore and Harley knew and hated the guy. Most believe it was the the sheriff that killed him but rumor floated around that Harley got him. I suppose we will never know. One of my best buddies farms very near Quitman the rumors are there.

He's one of the first pro wrestlers I remember. I watched him when I was 6 or 7. I always thought it kind of odd that he had no persona, though. Other people were big farmers or flying playboys or exotic Japanese guys, but Harley Race just showed up in a pair of shorts and went by his name.
