He's had so many health problems over the years. Harley was awesome. Rather than grind you down in holds he'd just throw bombs after bombs, suplex after suplex. R.I.P. They definitely don't make them like Harley anymore.

Harley is what all wrestlers arent any more. If you wanted to fix wrestling it would be by having more men like him.

The wrestler's wrestler...

76 is a good time to go. Shortly before just being alive is a hassle.

Hahahahaha that's classic

I could seriously see that....Harley all calm in a chair...Owen walks by.. (Zap)

Good tribute from the NWA. RIP

Ehh,

looking forward to stretching...this..ehh big basterd...in heaven...

Harley was in such bad health for years. He was already using a cane to get around when I met him years ago.

his promo where he puts a bounty on Ric Flair remains a classic.

Its so weird when young people talk about old people dying.

Only remember him being with Vader and never watched any of his matches.

Harley Race death thread didn't even make a 2nd page but Ashley Massaro's went like 8 or 9.

Her death was a lot more controversial.

Harley Race’s death was sadly expected

That thread ran long because Noid wouldn't shut up about her big boobs.

That's how I remember it.

Met Harley during the HoF ceremony in '04....very nice man.

I just came to the realization that he went to the grave before we ever learned from Kevin Nash what Harley Race "told that motherfucker..." while he was lacing his boots with the cigarette hanging out of his mouth to be able to corroborate if whatever it was, was in fact, what he actually told that motherfucker.

Or even who the motherfucker in question even was.

I highly recommend checking out the Harley Race episode that Grillin with JR did this week. Lots of awesome promos and Harley stories. Probably the best episode yet. Not too much JR going on weird, angry tangents.

JR didn't do as many cringe-worthy impressions at least.
I haven't seen a huge amount of Harley matches or promos but that episode taught me that he smoked about 80 a day and never once cleared his throat.

Also, a complete prick in bars.

Unless you're the World Champion of bar pool, you wait your turn.
