“Bullet” Bob Armstrong was recently on Ringside Talk with Scott Fishman, here are the highlights…
On Going Into The WWE Hall of Fame: “When they called me and told me I was being inducted, I thought they had the wrong number because I really didn’t expect this in a million years. It means an awful lot to me. You know what means a lot to me is my sons. All four of my sons are going to present me with that ring and induction plaque. That will mean a lot to me to have my sons there to give it to me.”
On His Sons Going Into Wrestling: “I’m just like the other fathers in that I didn’t want them to go through the pain and suffering that I did, but I wouldn’t change a thing. I’m put together with pins, screws and clamps, but at Andrews Institute every time they have operated on me it’s been a success, and I’m still standing. My boys came to me one at a time and I said to them, “Are you sure son? There are a lot easier occupations out there that you could do.” They would have nothing else. They would watch it on TV from the time they were small kids. They would try every move. They would drop elbows on each other from the kitchen table. They would suplex on the living room furniture. My wife had to referee that and straighten them out. I understood she had the best wristlock in the business because when she hooked them up to spank that fanny, there was no escape.”
On Working With His Sons: “They are all different and have different styles. I took Brad under my wing at 18 when he started and was 210 pounds. He was a pretty tough character, so I figured he do alright with my guidance. Sure enough when he was 19 we won the national [tag team] championships. They had 22 teams from New Zealand, Australia, Japan, South America. They brought them all into the old Omni in Atlanta, and sure enough, we came out on top.”
