Buck Robley

How full of shit is Buck Robley? Like most interviews I figure their is Robley's version, other peoples versions and some where in the middle is the truth. But seriously Robley has an almost megalomaniacal view of himself and of his friend/protege Bruiser Brody AKA Frank Goodish. I am not questioning Bucks abilities as a booker or his in ring ability or even that of Bruiser Brody but Buck just goes over the top with his bullshit. Everybody was scared of him. They were scared of his mind. They were scared of Brody. They were scared of him and Brody together. Nobody could beat up Brody and everybody was scared and would not challenge him in anyway.



He put the NWA World Heavyweight Belt on Brody and had him pin Ric Flair 1,2,3 in the middle of the ring and take the belt. He beat Danny Hodge for the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Title. He left territories even though they begged him to stay. Everybody screwed him over and over and over and over but they all needed him and brought him in. And as soon as he got a territory doing record business and completely turned it around they would screw him and he would quit.



Also Brody never hurt anybody... but then "he hit me with a chair so hard it almost drove me thru the mat". I mean seriously Robley would contradict himself over and over sometimes in the same sentence. And he would get caught in kayfabe several times. "I beat that Tommy Rich like a step child".



And lastly another contradiction and a huge one, he talks about how upset he was that his best friend Bruiser Brody was killed in Puerto Rico by Jose Gonzales and how he was going to go down there and get Gonzales. And then in the very next sentence he says Carlos Colon called him after Brody's murder and asks him to come down and book and Robley goes downa nd takes the job. He also says he was going to get Gonzales. Then he wanted to hear Gonzales version and if it wasn't right or if he didn't like it he was going to get him and then finally after not mentioning it he suddenly says that he did meet with Gonzales and heard his side and everything was OK.

I like Adrian Streets quote on Robley. When asked if he worked with Robley Street said that he did and that he told him right off the bat to his face that he didn't like him. "Why?" the interviewer asked, "let me just put it this way" Street said, "I don't like people who use drugs".
