[1990-04-07-ICW-TV] Interview: Tony Atlas

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

[Loss]

Tony Atlas is frustrated that people think they can talk to him without an appointment! He is the man, he has the gold and he don't need nothin'!

[PeteF3]

Atlas is his OWN partner. And he is, in fact, the Man.

[soup23]

Atlas can cut an intense promo around this time and he is not someone I would have wanted to mess with.

[shoe]

He's a scary dude. I wouldn't want to run into him on the street. You believe he's a legit bad ass.

[Kevin Ridge]

I can picture Atlas rehearsing his promos in the mirror.

[Cox]

Every time I see these, I'm amazed. I had no idea Tony Atlas was EVER a good promo. Yet somehow he had runs with WWF and WCW in the next 2+ years and was never able to recapture this in either run (granted, it would have been pretty fuckin' hard for him to do anything with the Saba Simba gimmick). That's too bad.

[Zero]

This has to be the best Atlas promo I've ever seen.

[garretta]

Another tremendous promo by Atlas. He seems to have been slightly influenced by Bad News Brown, not so much in what he says, but how he carries himself. It's a look and sound that fits him well, and he'd have been a hell of a challenger for Warrior when he jumped to the WWF if Vince had chosen to go that route. (Okay, the matches would have been brutal, but the atmosphere would have been great).

[drew wardlaw]

These ICW clips are bizarre. They feel very sleazy and uncomfortable.

[GSR]

He’s getting sick and tired of everybody coming up into his face, thinking they can talk to the champion without an appointment. Now everyone wants to know who he’s got for a partner? Well 23, 23, 58, that’s his partner! He don’t need no partner, he’s his own man, he is the man, he’s got the gold, he don’t need nothing!
